    At this moment, if Jimmy were to remain here, who knows what inappropriatements might escape his lips?


    Although Jimmy didn’t anticipate that Charlie would keep him around, he sensed that this individual had ulterior motives. What if Charlie intended to find someone to attack him? In that case, he would bepletely vulnerable in an unfamiliar country.


    So, without a second thought, he remarked, “Since my sister-inw feels guilty and wants to push me away, there’s no reason for me to stick around and upset her. Today is her wedding day, after all, and it wouldn’t be right for me to reveal too much truth just to save her face.”


    Charlie quickly interjected, “Mr. Smith just mentioned that there aren’t any influential guests expected today. However, we actually do have someone significant on the way. He’s a close friend of the groom, Professor He. I spoke with him over the phone, and he insisted that I keep you here for a while. He wille by shortly to speak with you personally.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Jimmy frowned and retorted, “Are you trying to threaten me? Do you really believe that bringing in some random people to intimidate me will work? Even if you were to beat me up, I wouldn’t be scared!”


    Charlie chuckled and replied, “Listen to what you’re saying. In China, we live in a society governed byw, unlike in the United States where everyone carries firearms. If someone dares to harm you here, just lie on the ground and call the police. The person who attacks you could face at least 15 days in detention, or even jail time.”


    Continuing, Charlie added, “I’m asking you to wait a little longer, not to frighten you. I think you might underestimate Professor He’s connections. While he may be just a professor at a regr university, hiswork is so vast that even Bill Gates would pale inparison.”


    “What the…,” Jimmyughed, bemused by Charlie’sment. “Young man, do you have any idea who Bill Gates is? Even the President of the United States shows him respect. You’re saying this professor’s connections are superior to his? Are you being serious, or am I the fool here?”


    Charlie smiled and replied, “Just wait a few minutes. He’ll be here shortly. Once you meet him, you’ll understand.”


    Then Charlie added, “Of course, if you choose not to wait, that’s fine too. When he arrives, I’ll have hime to your room to talk.”


    Jimmy recognized that Charlie was not going to back down. While he felt annoyed, he remained unbothered.


    He questioned how a mere teacher like Hank could possibly have any real connections.<fn5f82> Readplete version only at findnovel</fn5f82>


    After all, Jimmy was the son of a renowned Americanwyer. Even though his father didn’t earn a fortune, he had strong ties within the American legal system. There was no way he could bepared to a professor.


    Thus, he simply replied, “You don’t need to intimidate me. As the old saying goes in China, I am not afraid of my own shadow if I stand tall. Besides, I’m not someone who backs down easily. With so many witnesses here, I’m curious to see what tricks you think you can pull. If you believe you can bully me just because I’m a foreigner alone, you’ll end up embarrassed when this gets out!”
