Road to becoming the wealthiest: Starting From Treasure Hunting in the Cabinets
Chapter 103: Could It Be This Coincidental?

Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Could It Be This Coincidental?

After Sean said that, he startled himself!

Why was he so inclined to solve problems violently?

Was it because he had been through too much after coming here, or was there a violent factor in his body?

Robert was silent for a moment and then said:

"Are you really going to do that?"

"No, no, no, just joking." Sean laughed awkwardly, "After all, I am a law-abiding young man! Alright, I got it, I will try to raise the money to hire a lawyer as soon as possible, I hope you can help me find a reliable lawyer to win this lawsuit!"

"Alright." Robert hung up the phone.

Sean fell silent, and Mr. John looked at his expression and asked:

"What’s up? Any trouble?"

"Yes, the people who hurt me may have found clues about me."

"I just heard you say you’re a law-abiding citizen?" Mr. John laughed and said, "So, you should go ask Paul what to do about this."

Sean thought that made sense!

It’s not like he didn’t have connections, right!

He said to John:

"Thank you for reminding me! I really should go see Paul."

Sean called Paul and arranged to meet at the Portside Pub after he got off work.

Paul walked to the bar, saw Sean sitting by the window, waving to him, and went in.

In a New York City parking lot, a masked Mark handed a photo to two gunmen and coldly said:

"Look closely, the target is this Chinese man, and he’s at Iron Anchor Bar in the Port District! I hope that by tomorrow at the latest, he will die in an accidental shooting."

As he spoke, he handed an envelope to one of them.

The bearded man took it, opened it, counted, and said dissatisfied:

"Wasn’t it agreed to be 10,000? Why is it only 3,000?"

"This is the down payment." Mark explained, "If it’s done well, besides the remaining 7,000, there will be a 2,000 bonus for you!"

The two gunmen looked at each other and laughed, saying:

"All right! You will see the good news you want tomorrow!"

After that, the gunmen took the photo and money and drove away.

Mark watched the departing car, praying in his heart that it would be successful this time.

The previous mistake made him lose faith in the original team members. This time, through informants, he found Sean’s specific location, and these two gunmen were experienced hands, so there should be no problem.

This time, he would finally get rid of the trouble!

Sean saw Paul coming in, stood up and greeted him:

"Come here, here."

Paul smiled, pulled out a chair and sat down, asking:

"What brings you here today? I heard you’ve been getting close with Joanna lately, is it true?"

"Of course it’s true," Sean said seriously, "I’m already working on her parents, hoping they’ll accept me..."

"Once you become a billionaire, her parents will definitely accept you," Paul joked, "I heard from John that you’ve been making money fast lately. This dream may come true in a few years!"

As the server came over, Sean ordered two beers, clinked glasses with Paul, took a sip, and said:

"I need a favor."

Paul drank half of it and put down the glass, saying:

"Go ahead."

"I’m being watched, and there might be trouble."

"What do you mean ’watched’?" Paul asked.

"Here’s what happened." Sean told him the whole story of his inheritance, the setup, being rescued by Mr. John, finding someone to retrieve the will, and the other party finding out about him.

As Paul listened and drank beer, he gradually became stunned, raising his empty glass to his mouth.

Sean ordered more beer, and Paul put down his glass to ask him:

"Are you sure you’re not just drunk and telling a story?"

Before this, Paul had only heard from Mr. John and Sean that Sean was injured due to a setup, but he didn’t have a detailed understanding of the specifics.

Now, after hearing such a convoluted "story", Paul found it a bit incredulous.

"It’s true," Sean said seriously.

"Since you already have the will, why don’t you hire a lawyer to get your share of the inheritance back?" Paul asked, "You’re on the side of justice, many people will help you."

"I got into trouble because of the setup by the lawyer. Now I don’t trust lawyers, so I’m hoping to find a reliable one who can win this lawsuit in one shot."

Paul chuckled and said:

"Actually, you don’t have to be so cautious. Although the Beautiful Country also has judicial corruption, no one would dare to intervene in such a clear-cut case with a will—at least in terms of your safety, that’s a minor issue."

The waiter brought two more beers, and the two men took them. After the waiter left, Paul continued:

"The best way is for you not to go to deserted places recently and be careful of your own safety. Moreover, I will also increase patrols near the house you are renting... "

In fact, there wasn’t much that could be done about this kind of thing.

After all, the Port District had many people coming and going. Although gun control was tight here, no one could guarantee that all firearms would be used legally.

The two discussed further, and Sean finally helplessly concluded that he could only focus on passive defense. As for an active attack, he would be the one committing the crime.

The two men left the bar, and Sean waved at Paul, intending to return to the rented courtyard.

At that moment, someone from the opposite car stuck their head out, aiming a gun at Sean!

Instinctively, Sean bent over and charged forward two steps before hearing a gunshot ringing beside his ear!

Someone was attacking him!

Sean reached for his gun but came up empty!

To avoid trouble when meeting Paul, a police officer, Sean had left his gun in the car!

He had no choice but to awkwardly dive behind the roadside trash can!

The gunshots made the surrounding people panic, and they scattered in all directions, making it difficult for the gunman to directly aim at Sean’s hiding place!

Paul didn’t expect someone to shoot at Sean in broad daylight!

He had thought the situation Sean described earlier couldn’t be that severe, but now the reality was happening right in front of him!

As a policeman, he instinctively pulled out his gun and shouted loudly at the gunman:

"Drop the gun! I’m a police officer!"

The gunman was also taken aback, not expecting to encounter a police officer while trying to kill a Chinese person!

Facing Paul’s pistol, the gunman instinctively turned his muzzle towards Paul, but Paul had already shot first!

The other gunman in the car panicked too, as they had been caught red-handed by a police officer!

"Bang, bang, bang!"

After several gunshots, Paul not only wounded the armed thug but also blew out the car’s tires!

The thug who had started the car to escape had to jump out, but Paul shot him in the leg!

Paul held up his gun next to the car and shouted loudly:

"Hands on your head! Throw away the gun! Get down on the ground! Hurry up!"

He was very nervous, and then the thugs were even more nervous!

Sean heard Paul’s voice and knew that the danger was mostly over. He poked his head out, saw the situation, and immediately rushed over to help.

One of the gunmen tried to struggle, but Sean kicked the gun out of his hand and stepped on it.

A scream came from under his foot, but Sean had no mercy.

Paul gave him an approving look.

Now, thanks to Sean, he had made a great contribution!
