Jasper’s words intrigued Old Master Law.
Although the two were decades apart and their position and status were also greatly different, the things Jasper had done so far proved that what he wanted to do next was not going to be easy for him.
“What is it that’s able to make you so serious? I’m interested,” Old Master Law said warmly.
When Old Master Law said these words, he actually believed that Jasper had probably encountered a difficult opponent and needed to use the power of the Laws to solve the issue.
The old master did not think there was anything wrong with this.
In his opinion, the better a person was, the more enemies they would have. If there were no enemies, it was either that person was invincible, or the person was simply a pile of mud and nobody had any interest in dealing with them.
Old Master Law himself only got to where he was now through dealing with one enemy after another.
However, what Jasper said next made Old Master Law’s white eyebrows tremble.
“Old Master, regarding the burst of the dot-com bubble and the plummet of Harbor stocks, it’s obvious that the Western capitalists have entered the market and are the ones responsible for these behind the scenes.
“Just like the year of the handover, their evil intentions are still alive. They’re always trying to steal our economic results through such despicable means.
“This is equivalent to the Western capitalists viewing us as the livestock they’ve raised in captivity. When we grow fat and strong, they can open our doors at any time to take away all our hard-earned money.”
The gentle smile that Old Master Law displayed in front of Jasper disappeared. Those eyes that had gone through countless vicissitudes of life were now full of resentment and unwillingness.
The Laws could stand out among the many wealthy families in Harbor City because Old Master Law was truly a patriotic businessman at heart.
