The congressman's sister?

Ye Hanwen's words made Qi Yun a bit at a loss whether to cry or laugh.

"The Kubu Clan chief should know the inside story and has clearly stated he won't get involved in things between us and the government."

"Unless we can offer a price he can't refuse, but that would be not worth the trouble."

Qi Yun sighed after hearing it. After all, he's a company shareholder, and if the mine is taken back by the local government, his interests would be affected as well.

"So how do you plan to handle this next?"

Ye Hanwen took another sip of beer, the bottle hitting heavily on the coffee table, "We can only find a way through the government. If we can get the congressman of the mining area on our side, maybe things will be easier."

Saying this, he pulled out a photo from his pocket. It showed a man in his forties, wearing sunglasses, "This guy is called Demira. I've had contact with him before; he's a principled man who can't be bought with money."

Qi Yun took the photo and glanced at it for a moment before raising his head to ask, "What about his family? Is there a direction we can break through?"

Though it sounded a bit shameless, that's the reality. He's not greedy, but it doesn't mean his wife and children aren't, and the latter are precisely the ones who can influence his decision-making.

Ye Hanwen sighed, "This guy's wife unfortunately passed away in a plane crash a few years ago, and the insurance company paid a large sum of money. This is also one reason he can't be bought."

"He hasn't remarried, and his only son is attending university in Cape Town, but I'm not clear on the specifics."

Qi Yun nodded slightly upon hearing this and suddenly looked out at Ah Jie, who was eating watermelon in the courtyard, and then immediately turned and said, "How about letting my people investigate it?"

Ye Hanwen also glanced at Ah Jie outside, who looked quite unremarkable.

Qi Yun added with a smile, "They're very smart and have a lot of experience in gathering information and setting up schemes."

Hearing this, Ye Hanwen nodded, "Alright, there isn't a better way right now anyway."

Seeing the other agree, Qi Yun immediately had Ah Jie gather the people around.

He then handed the photo to Ah Jiao, saying, "You split into two groups, one group to investigate this person in the photo, the other to investigate his son in Cape Town."

"Don't act rashly, first understand the situation."

"Old Hei and Brother Wei will each go with a group, responsible for safety, and contact me at any time if there's anything."

The few nodded upon hearing this, except for Chen Wei who asked expressionlessly, "What about your safety without me around?"

Qi Yun smiled at him, "Don't worry, I'll just stay here and not go anywhere."

Seeing him say this, Chen Wei nodded in response.

Then Ye Hanwen looked at Qi Yun again and said, "How about letting Tata and the cook go with them too?"

"The two of them know the situation here in South Africa and can also act as translators."

Qi Yun thought for a moment and agreed.

Ye Hanwen then called Tata and the cook over to give them some instructions, and the group began to take action immediately.

Chen Wei, Tata, and Ah Jiao headed to the airport, preparing to fly to Cape Town.

Meanwhile, Ah Jie, Old Hei, and the cook who studied in China drove to Pretoria to investigate the congressman.

...

Two days later, Ah Jie sent back information that the congressman Demira lived a very simple life. Apart from work, he just stayed home, didn't indulge in debauchery, and had no bad habits, with a social circle almost entirely of work-related people.

On the other side, the flamboyantly dressed Ah Jiao was walking into a bar arm-in-arm with her black boyfriend.

The black guy looked around twenty-something, dressed very fashionably, with a big gold chain and small watch, hair braided, his pants sagging almost to his knees, exuding a strong West Coast vibe.

The couple stepped to a booth in the center of the bar, already full of men and women.

Upon seeing the black guy arrive, two of them quickly stood up and made space.

"Ethan, why did it take you so long?"

The young man called Ethan pointed to Ah Jiao next to him and introduced in English, "Let me introduce you all, this is my girlfriend Ah Jiao, met her at the casino last night, she's Chinese."

Upon hearing she's Chinese, the young men and women immediately showed curious looks and stared at Ah Jiao up and down.

There are many Chinese in South Africa, but such beautiful young women are really rare to see.

Among them, two black guys sneaked a few glances at Ah Jiao's snow-white neckline, then looked at their own dark-skinned female partners, and suddenly felt somewhat uninterested.

It really hurts without comparison.

Ethan held Ah Jiao's hand as they sat down on the sofa, immediately there was someone pouring drinks and offering cigarettes, it was clear Ethan had a high status among these people.

Thanks to his congressman father.

"Ethan, I got some new stuff from a friend. Want to try some?" A person next to him leaned over to Ethan's ear and said.

Ethan downed a drink in one gulp, wiped his mouth and said, "What new stuff, it won't be that kind of trash from last time again, will it?"

The person hurriedly shook his head, patting his chest to guarantee, "This time the quality is absolutely exhilarating, still priced at ten thousand rand."

The currency here in South Africa is the rand, ten thousand rand is about six hundred USD, enough for an average person's half a month's salary.

Ethan generously pulled out a wad of cash from his wallet and threw it on the table, "Take it out, but if it's no good, don't come to me next time."

The person quickly smiled, pocketing the money, then discreetly handed a small medicine bottle to Ethan.

Ethan looked down at it, opened the cap, and saw inside were six blue pills. He poured two into his palm, tossed them into his mouth, and took a swig of the drink.
