Chapter 3368: Introducing a Friend for You to Meet

Half an hour later, Steven Rothschild arrived at Tianxiang Mansion under the protection of his bodyguards.

Previously, he would come and go, but this time he had prepared himself for a prolonged stay in Jin Ling, and his trusted aides had actually arrived in Jin Ling one after another several days earlier.

Naturally, Matt Finkelstein came along with him.

At this moment, Matt Finkelstein's mood was much better than before.

Before, he was like a stray dog, exhausted from fleeing, hiding here and there, and even wished he would never return to the American mainland.

But now he is different—he has already pledged allegiance to the Rothschild family's second-in-command.

More importantly, everyone knows that after he defected to the Rothschild family, they naturally realized those secrets had already reached the Rothschild family's ears.

Under these circumstances, continuing to hunt Matt Finkelstein serves no practical purpose.

Killing him would not bury those secrets; on the contrary, it might provoke the Rothschild family into a frenzied retaliation.

Therefore, Matt Finkelstein now effectively has a golden amulet granting him immunity from death.

Consequently, he is deeply loyal to Steven, and has made up his mind to follow Steven closely from now on, attending to his every need like a dog.

On the way here, Steven told him that the person they were about to meet was a highly respected Chinese individual, which made Matt Finkelstein especially curious, wondering what kind of person could earn such high praise from the Rothschild heir.

When the convoy arrived at Tianxiang Mansion, he followed Steven inside through the main gate.

Master Hong Wu had been waiting there in advance; upon seeing Steven, he immediately smiled and said: "Mr. Rothschild, it's good to see you again."

Steven also replied in fluent Chinese with a smile: "Ah, Master Hong, it's wonderful to see you again! I've been thinking of you these past days."

As he spoke, he lightly embraced Master Hong Wu and added: "I brought you the finest Cuban cigars; I'll have my men bring them over for you to try later."

Master Hong Wu felt thrilled inside, thinking to himself: "What kind of life am I living? Even the heir of the Rothschild family brings me gifts to curry favor."

Thinking this, he smiled and said: "Mr. Rothschild, you're being too polite—just coming is enough; no need to bring gifts."

Steven laughed and said: "Don't call me Mr. Rothschild—it's too formal. Just call me Steven; we're all friends, no need for such ceremony."

After saying that, he asked: "Where is Mr. Ye?"

Master Hong Wu smiled: "Mr. Ye is already waiting in the private room; let's go up together."

"Alright," Steven nodded, pointing to Matt Finkelstein beside him, and said to Master Hong Wu: "By the way, Master Hong, this is Matt, Matt Finkelstein, one of my junior associates; from now on, he will be living in Jin Ling under my guidance."

Master Hong Wu nodded and smiled: "Hello, Mr. Finkelstein."

Matt Finkelstein hastily replied with deep respect: "Master Hong, please look after me in Jin Ling from now on."

"No need to be formal," Master Hong Wu said, patting Steven's shoulder: "Steven and I are like brothers; you don't need to stand on ceremony here."

Normally, if anyone patted Steven on the shoulder and claimed to be his brother, he would surely fly into a rage—what status do you have to call yourself my brother?

But facing Master Hong Wu's brotherly address, he felt genuinely pleased inside.

He even felt as if he and Master Hong Wu were sworn brothers from the same sect.

It was warm, extremely warm.

Master Hong Wu led the two to the Diamond Private Room, where Ye Chen was already seated inside.

As Steven entered, he immediately said respectfully: "Hello, Mr. Ye!"

Ye Chen smiled and said: "How are you, Steven? This time you've come, are you planning to stay for a long while?"

Steven laughed: "Yes, Mr. Ye, to be honest, I plan to stay in Jin Ling for ten or even eight years this time."

After saying that, he quickly turned to Ye Chen to introduce Matt Finkelstein: "Mr. Ye, this is the Matt Finkelstein I mentioned earlier."

At this moment, Matt Finkelstein was also staring at Ye Chen with utter astonishment.

He simply could not understand how Steven could show such deep respect to a Chinese person who was so young.

He also could not fathom whether there existed any young person in the world whose status surpassed Steven's.

It seemed utterly impossible.

Yet the fact remained: Steven's respect for Ye Chen was not merely superficial—it was etched into his very bones.

Ye Chen turned to the stunned Matt Finkelstein, half-smiling, and asked: "A few days ago, was it you who sent the hidden assassin to kill Tawana?"

Matt Finkelstein's heart skipped a beat as he thought desperately: "Could it be… could he be the man behind Tawana? The one who made Steven find me and call off the hidden assassin?"

Thinking this, he was overwhelmed with panic and quickly said: "Mr. Ye, I am truly sorry—I was utterly foolish at the time, which led me to make that decision. I now realize how gravely mistaken I was, and I have done everything in my power to stop it. I hope you, sir, will be magnanimous and not hold this against me."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Whether you and Tawana have personal grudges or each holds secrets over the other, I don't wish to interfere too much. As long as you refrain from any threatening actions toward her from now on, I will not pursue this matter."

Matt Finkelstein immediately exhaled in relief and hastily declared: "Mr. Ye, rest assured—I have now pledged complete loyalty to Mr. Steven Rothschild, and I will do nothing to threaten Tawana!"

Ye Chen nodded and asked: "You should know that Tawana has already arrived in China, right?"

"Yes, Mr. Ye! After all, the news is now filled entirely with her updates." Matt Finkelstein replied respectfully.

Ye Chen smiled: "Perfect—I was just about to invite her over so you two can meet and put the past behind you."

As he spoke, he turned to Steven: "By the way, Steven, I'd like to introduce you to her—if she ever needs help in the future, please do her a favor."

Steven immediately laughed: "Mr. Ye, that's easy to say! With your word, her affairs are my affairs—no matter how big a mess she gets into, I, Steven, will shield her."

Ye Chen nodded with a smile, picked up his phone, and called Tawana via WeChat.

As soon as the call connected, Tawana exclaimed happily: "Mr. Ye, are you looking for me?"

Ye Chen asked: "Are you busy?"

Tawana replied: "I'm currently scouting venues, confirming some details, and will begin a rehearsal this afternoon."

Ye Chen asked: "Have you arranged lunch?"

Tawana said: "Not yet planned—I should be eating with the staff."

Ye Chen said: "Then come to Tianxiang Mansion—I'll host, and it's a perfect chance to introduce you to a friend."
