Luqman was all ears as he nodded from time to time. This young man was not a show-off, and he had a watertight strategy. It was clear that Yadriel had threatened Hansen's company, and he wanted to put him to death, but Hansen was not in a hurry. Even if he came to find Luqman and wished to join forces to solve the problem, then he would not expose his pain. Instead, Hansen spoke with him with confidence, and he even took the lead.
However, Luqman appreciated a man like him and didn't mind it at all.
He also knew what he was thinking.
Hansen willingly took the initiative to meet Luqman, which meant that he was controlled by the others. He would not exaggerate his own difficulties. That could also be considered human nature.
In fact, Luqman also understood that compared to Hansen, he was indeed more anxious than him. His own situation was absolutely pressing.
Unauthorized disclosure of classified information wasn't considered a huge crime. As long as Hansen caught Yaris, the matter would be resolved sooner or later. Moreover, Yaris would not be able to escape from him. He was well aware of that.
Nonetheless, for Hansen, his plan was far-reaching.
Even if this matter was over, Yadriel and Sergio being Hansen's enemies were already known to the public. In that case, what mattered most was Hansen's future path. People like Yadriel did not deserve to be officials. That was what he was worried about, and it urged him to rush over and join forces with Luqman. In fact, it was even out of desperation.
However, coming to Luqman did not mean that he would beg for his cooperation. After all, Hansen had never asked for help in his life.
Luqman was nothing compared to Yadriel in terms of both power and prestige.
He, Luqman, knew this very well.
Therefore, it was fine for Hansen to work with him together, but Hansen would definitely appear as a benefactor. In the future, Luqman would owe him. That was what Hansen wanted to achieve all along.
He was just a businessman.
Thus, the benefits must be evident.
Right then, Luqman smiled and admitted to it.
"Mr. Richards, to be honest, if I am to be compared with Yadriel now, I do not have any advantage. In fact, I have long wanted to give up. If I am to compete with others, then I don't have to rack my brains. Nonetheless, Yadriel is a man of sinister thoughts. I believe you understand just what type of person he is and what he has done before. If he wins, he'll suppress me once he steps onto the stage and not let go of the Richards Group as well. Moreover, his attitude will neither benefit the country nor the people. If he was elected, then it would be intolerable."
Luqman's face flushed red. He was so agitated that his fingers were trembling.
Hansen slowly crossed his long leg over the other and leaned back against the couch, tapping the back of the couch lightly with his pale fingers. "Mr. Wood, I'm a humble man, and my words are of little importance. I'm afraid that I won't be able to let you get what you want."
"No, it's totally possible." Luqman corrected him immediately.
Hansen was stunned for a moment as his eyes glimmered with doubt. What made him so confident? It was as if he had planned it out.
His highly arched brows were slightly knotted.
"Mr. Richards, I won't win if I compete for the vote counts with him. The astute and scheming Yadriel has already made careful arrangements, and I don't intend to be a governor. At this moment, as long as he is found guilty, everything can be resolved." Luqman lowered his voice and then whispered in an extremely mysterious manner, "Someone has already gotten a lot of his evidence."
"Who is it?" Hansen asked in surprise.
Luqman narrowed his eyes and squinted. "Mr. Richards, do you really not know?"
Hansen was taken aback again. "I really don't."
Luqman's eyes relaxed. It seemed that Hansen was really unaware of it. He answered thoughtfully, "Mr. Richards, the person who knows this secret is someone from Richards Manor. It's hard for me to believe you when you claim that you don't know about it."
Hansen finally understood why Luqman wanted to cooperate with him. It turned out that he had already known the inside story and knew that the Richards family had something he needed.
Nonetheless, who could have the ability to get hold of Yadriel's weakness in Richards Manor?
Moreover, he didn't even know about it.
It puzzled him.
"Is it Uncle Claude?" He thought for a moment and questioned eventually.
After Luqman confirmed that Hansen was indeed clueless about it, he could not help but to lament the profoundness of rich and powerful families. He also understood that there were great masters in prestigious families. So, he inwardly sighed.
"Irvin Wallace, do you know him?" Luqman stopped keeping him in suspense and responded directly.
"Irvin Wallace?" Hansen was shocked. It was rumored that Paul and Irvin were Vivian's subordinates. Did she already know about this? Was that why she had sent Irvin to the war-torn country for an investigation?
A look of surprise and bewilderment appeared in his eyes.
"Irvin has been in the war-torn country for more than a year. He is currently in disguise over there, and he managed to obtain multiple pieces of Yadriel's evidence." Luqman added very seriously, "Yadriel found out about this, and he is sending people everywhere to look for Irvin. He wants to catch him alive. Therefore, Irvin is in a dangerous situation now."
Hansen was stunned. It took him quite a while to recover from his shock.
"Therefore, Mr. Richards, it is not practical to talk about buying votes now. Even if people from the Richards Group and those you managed to persuade vote for me, at most, I will only be tied with him. That will waste too much time and effort. If we reveal Yadriel's crime and let the people see his evil deeds, then they will definitely realize what type of a person he truly is." Luqman was full of righteousness as he spoke eloquently.
