He was very polite, upon seeing the three of us had arrived, he slightly bowed. “Sorry, it’s been a long time since I came back. I underestimated the evening rush hour in Jelaston.”

“No problem, it’s great that you could make it!”

Lynsey stood up and introduced him to Jane and me, “This is Mr. Ian Brown, the CEO of RF Group.”

I had thought that someone in such a high position would be a bit aloof, but unexpectedly, he was very approachable. He even took the initiative to refill our glasses.

Both Jane and I were somewhat bewildered. He put down the decanter, got back to the point, and said, “There’s no problem with the investment, but the RF Group must have a significant stake. Are you both prepared for this?”

“Yes.” I nodded.

I had looked into some investment cases before, and in the end, the founders often

“Maybe?”

I couldn’t shake the feeling that something wasn’t right.

I replayed scenes from the restaurant in my mind, and suddenly realized what was bothering me.

That lan, I seemed to recognize him somehow.

But no matter how hard I thought, I couldn’t recall where I had seen him before.

Jane poked my head upon hearing this, “Are you dumb? His photos were everywhere last month when the RF Group was listed. It’s normal if you’ve seen him.”
