Reborn in America: Starting as a California Resident

That evening, inside a black sedan speeding toward Central on Hong Kong Island, Li Huangtai leaned back in the back seat expressionlessly, his gaze passing through the car window as he watched the scenery rushing by.

"We've been spreading rumors that we intend to sell our Hutchison Whampoa shares."

"But didn't we just..."

"The business world is like a battlefield, and using strategies is commonplace."

We don't really intend to sell immediately, but rather to keep Qi Dezun under constant pressure.

Only in this way can we overcome stronger enemies and sell our position at a higher price, even when surrounded by powerful adversaries.

"clear."

Although the afternoon negotiations achieved Li Huangtai's original intended goals;

But if we ask ourselves honestly, isn't this just another kind of forced submission?

Ultimately, it's because he's too weak!

While they may be able to act arrogantly and domineeringly within the Chinese community, they are still far from being able to stand shoulder to shoulder or confront Westerners!

If Henry Getty hadn't suddenly appeared, he would have been relentlessly pursued by Qi Dezun.

At that time, I'm afraid...

"Let's see who comes out on top in three years."

The three-year term of the contract was ostensibly intended to give Qi Dezun some breathing room;

But in reality, isn't this also the room for maneuver that Li Huangtai has reserved for himself?

He firmly believes that he can leverage his years of experience as a kept man to take his career to the next level during this period.

Then, when the time comes, we'll fight for it again.

"Mr. Li, young master..."

"What?! This unfilial son!!!"

As soon as Li Huangtai got off the car, he learned from the secretariat about the terrible trouble that Little Superman had recently caused.

He immediately returned to the car and ordered the driver to turn around and go home.

--------

"Ah! Daddy, stop hitting me!"

I know I was wrong!

"Yes! Huang Tai, Ze Kai has already admitted his mistake, so please don't punish him anymore."

Let go!

All you do is protect him. Look how much you've spoiled him!

So incredibly arrogant!

If this gets out, our whole family will be implicated!

......

The moonlight was clear and bright, but it was blurred by a few drifting clouds.

The magnificent mansion of the Li Huangtai family was brightly lit, but the light did not dispel the gloom that shrouded everyone's hearts.

Inside the study, Ze Kai knelt on the ground, his tender palms covered with marks left by the ruler.

Hearing the arguing outside the door, Li Huangtai felt a mix of emotions. In the end, he slowly got up and walked towards the door.

The moment the door opened, what came into view was his angry wife, Zhuang Mingyue, and his silent eldest son, Zeju.

Unlike his youngest son, Ze Kai, Ze Ju always gave people a calm and reliable feeling.

At this moment, he stood behind his mother, and although he did not speak, the concern in his eyes was self-evident.

Looking at the scene before him, Li Huangtai felt a mix of emotions.

"Mingyue, Zeju, come in."

Although Li Huangtai's voice was still stern, it no longer carried the anger of before.

He turned and walked back to his study, and the others followed him in.

The study door closed again, but this time, the tense atmosphere seemed to ease.

Li Huangtai sat back down at his desk, his gaze falling on Ze Kai, who was kneeling.

"Ze Kai, today you will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane. Do you know what you did wrong?"

The thirteen or fourteen-year-old boy raised his head, a stubborn glint in his eyes, then lowered his head again and answered softly, "Son knows he was wrong."

"Ha, you admit your mistake?"

I know you're not convinced.

I know that you did this because you wanted to avenge your father.

But you must understand that some mistakes, once made, are difficult to undo.

You got lucky this time...

"Never mind, stand up first."

Li Huangtai tapped the table lightly, then turned to face his family, saying, "We are in the business world, and every decision we make can have far-reaching consequences."

Things are different now than before; one wrong step can lead to a series of mistakes.

We must not let our guard down.

From now on, wherever you go, you must have bodyguards with you.

"Huang Tai, isn't this too conspicuous?"

I don't think the sci-fi arcade generation will necessarily find their way to us.

After all, the gang member that Ze Kai had contacted had already been dealt with by their bodyguards.

"Better safe than sorry. Don't underestimate the methods of those foreigners."

They have quite a few secret forces here.

"I understand, Daddy."

After listening, Li Zeju, the eldest son, nodded thoughtfully.

He is slightly older than Superman and has gradually become involved in the family business in recent years, and is well aware of the complexity and dangers of the outside world.

His fear of foreigners was much deeper than that of the others present.

"Knock knock!"

Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by an urgent voice: "Mr. Li, I have something to report!"

"Come in."

Li Huangtai gave the instructions.

Ze Kai opened the door in response, and a guard quickly entered, reporting that suspicious individuals had been spotted approaching the mansion, but had been driven away.

They asked if they needed to send someone to pursue them.

"No need, just increase vigilance; there's no need to investigate."

It's common for wealthy neighborhoods to be targeted by notorious thieves, so Li Huangtai didn't intend to investigate further.

After all, even a clay figure has some temper;

If you push these people too far, they'll do anything!

……

Two days later, on a large tree 700 meters away from Li Huangtai's family villa, a dark shadow clung to the trunk like a sculpture, motionless.

Looking up from under the tree, it's just a part of the tree trunk and green leaves intertwined, hardly noticeable.

However, if someone climbs up the tree to take a closer look, they will be surprised to see a man dressed in camouflage, with black and green stripes painted on his face and a hat carefully woven from leaves.

This person is the member codenamed "Uriel" from (Fallen Angels).

He had been lying in ambush in the tree for a full ten hours, without daring to slack off for a moment, and without even touching a drop of water or a grain of rice.

As a sharpshooter for the "Fallen Angels," a private violent organization of the Getty family, he is renowned in the underworld for his unparalleled marksmanship, striking fear into the hearts of his enemies.

This time, following Henry's secret orders, the entire "Fallen Angels" team was mobilized, quickly infiltrating Hong Kong and launching their operation.

After a thorough investigation and analysis, they concluded that due to the Lee family's tight security measures, it would be extremely difficult to complete the "little lesson" that Henry had mentioned.

Therefore, excluding the possibility of a direct assault, only sniping remains as an option.

This heavy responsibility naturally fell on Uriel's shoulders.

The other team members fully cooperated with his actions.

On the evening of June 6, when Uriel saw a luxury convoy escorting a short man into the villa, he immediately became extremely alert and closely tracked the target through his scope.

Although the target briefly disappeared from his sight, it soon reappeared.

Despite the dim lighting and the curtains, Uriel was still able to capture the blurry figure of his target with the help of a high-powered scope.

When the target stopped, Uriel immediately realized that a golden opportunity had arrived.

With his extensive experience, Uriel quickly calculated various parameters in his mind and fine-tuned the direction of the gun muzzle.

His gaze was sharp, fixed intently on the identified location, no longer paying attention to the figure that had entered the room earlier.

"puff!"
