Rebirth of Hong Kong - 1978

Chapter 2929
"Mr. Lin is leaving now?"

"Yes, there are still many things waiting for me to deal with at Nihong. Now that the things here are over, there is no need for me to stay here."

Before leaving, Lin Daoqiu invited Derekford out to meet him. The other party was very happy to learn that Lin Daoqiu was leaving London, but before Lin Daoqiu left, Derekford had to ask the other party to give him the previous promise. Only if he cashes in, after all, his handle is still in the hands of the other party.

"That's really a pity. Originally, I wanted to invite Mr. Lin to my manor to taste my collection of wines, but it seems that I can only find another chance next time."

Naturally, Derrickford would not be so stupid that he really wanted to let Lin Daoqiu stay. He just expressed his regret casually, but it was definitely not the kind from the heart.

Lin Daoqiu wanted to leave Derrickford, and he naturally welcomed him with both hands. He didn't want to see this guy often, and he even hoped that Lin Daoqiu would never appear in front of him, so that his secrets would not be leaked out. .

"Maybe there will be a chance in the future, and I'm afraid I will disturb you, Sir Derek."

"It should be, but Mr. Lin, since I have done what you told me, can you return that thing to me?"

Derrickford believes that Lin Daoqiu must know what he is talking about, but it is not convenient to point it out.

"Something? What?"

Lin Daoqiu looked at Derrickford's confused expression, it seemed that he didn't know what the other party was talking about.

"Mr. Lin, you are not pretending to be confused on purpose, are you... that thing from The Sun?"

Derickford had to lower his voice, even though there was no one else around him, Derickford still seemed worried that the wall had ears.

"Oh... that's what you're talking about, don't worry, I've already talked to them at The Sun, and they have agreed not to publish it."

"In this case, can you return the negatives and materials to me?"

Derrickford now just wants to get the negatives back as soon as possible, and if possible, get the written manuscripts and destroy them.

But when Derrickford made this request, Lin Daoqiu suddenly showed a embarrassed expression on his face.

"I'm really sorry, I can only keep them from publishing, but I'm afraid it will not be an easy task to get them to hand over their things, at least I can't do it for the time being."

"Mr. Lin, are you kidding me?"

Derickford was in a hurry. He felt that Lin Daoqiu hadn't told him the truth at all. These things must be in Lin Daoqiu's hands, but he didn't want to hand them over to him. Otherwise, how could he have prevented the "Sun" from publishing these things? Things come out.

"How could it be? You are worrying too much. I really want to be good friends with you. Please don't doubt this."

Derekford is still useful to Lin Daoqiu, he has to ask the other party to help him keep an eye on Yingjili's situation. After all, Lin Daoqiu is not concerned about Yingjili's side. The last time Fang Yathua came to make troubles, Lin Daoqiu was behind After hearing the news, I had to come and deal with it myself. If Fang Yihua or others came to make trouble again, wouldn't it be very dangerous for me not to know the news at the first time.

Therefore, Lin Daoqiu had to cultivate a pawn for himself, an insider, only in this way could he get first-hand information in the shortest possible time.

"If Mr. Lin wants to become good friends with me, he should help me get those things back immediately, otherwise I don't think our friendship can last."

Derrickford's attitude suddenly became tough. He didn't want his handle to be pinched in the hands of others, which made him sleepless.

"The choice is always yours. It's best if you think our friendship can continue, but it's okay if you don't. I'm a very casual person and I never force others to do what he doesn't want. What you want, so how to choose is all up to you, and I will not interfere."

Lin Daoqiu looked indifferent, as if Derrickford fell out with him and Lin Daoqiu didn't think it was a big deal, it seemed that he was determined by the other party.

"Mr. Lin, I'm afraid you've been planning this from the very beginning, right? The purpose is to control me and become your pawn."

"Don't make it so harsh. I don't have that much thoughtfulness and I don't intend to manipulate you to do anything. I'm not interested in the affairs of England, so Sir Derek don't have to worry, unless it's about me, otherwise I won't ask, you can rest assured about that."

Lin Daoqiu had no interest in Yingjili at all. If he hadn't had to deal with Fang Yathua this time, he wouldn't have bothered to come to London from Neon.

It is obvious that Lin Daoqiu has set out his conditions. He will not interfere with Derickford's affairs, but if his affairs are involved, Derickford must report to him immediately, although it sounds like Derickford De has become Lin Daoqiu's subordinate, but if the other party's promise is true, then this is not unacceptable.

"I believe that our cooperation will be very pleasant. You don't have to worry so much, everything will be the same as before, and I believe that you will be able to obtain far more things than before. You should have no doubts about this."

Lin Daoqiu didn't say what Derickford could get, but he believed that the other party should be able to understand what he meant.

It is definitely not a wise choice for Derrickford to choose to fall out with Lin Daoqiu knowing that there is no way to get back the negatives and manuscripts. The advantage of doing it is that you should get more than one benefit fee every year. Of course, the money will not go directly to Derrickford, but will flow into his pocket through other methods.

Derrickford seemed very hesitant. On the one hand, he wanted to get back those fatal handles that could threaten his official career, but on the other hand, he began to have a great interest in the conditions offered by Lin Daoqiu.

"Well, since Mr. Lin has said so, I have nothing to say. I wish us a happy cooperation."

Although Derrickford was very reluctant, he could only compromise with Lin Daoqiu under the current situation.

"A smart choice, and I'm sure the choice you make now will feel right to you at some point in the future."
