Chapter 279 A Mysterious Postman 4
She has no choice but to leave a note with her intention and her contact information and returns to the
hotel to wait for news.
At 9 p.m., her cell phone finally rings. And she presses the answer button apprehensively, "Hello, who
is that speaking?"
"Is that Mrs. Karin?" An old man''s voice rings over the phone, which sounds thick and strong.
"Yes, who is that speaking?"
"I am the one that you are looking for, a friend of your father-inw, Simon Warren."
Her heart trembles. And she says with surprise, "Finally, I''ve received your call. I wonder if you can
arrange a time for us to meet each other, Mr. Simon? I want to see you as soon as possible."

"Yes, you cane to the business club on Ennd Street at 10 a.m. I will wait for you there."
"Okay, thanks. Thank you very much."
Karin hangs up the phone and rushes to the next door to inform Robert. And he is also extremely
happy to hear the news. The two of them tidy themselves up a little and immediately head for the
destination where Karin and Simon agreed to see each other over the phone.
By the time they arrive at the business club on Ennd Street, someone has been waiting for them at
the entrance to entertain them. Hearing that they are guests who have made an appointment with
Simon Warren, the waiter who entertains them hurriedly leads them to a private box.
After the door to the private box opens, Karin and Robert see a red-faced old gentleman sitting on a
sofa in the private box. With a sophisticated outfit, the old man has a shrewd look in his eyes which is
characteristic of a businessman. And when he sees theme in, he gets up with a smile, "I wasn’t in
thepany this afternoon. So I didn''t know you two were visiting me at thepany... I hope you will
bear with me if I am negligent to you."
"Mr. Simon, you are making the situationplicated. We are grateful that you are willing to see us at
this time."
Karin bows politely. And Simon points to the sofa hurriedly, "Please have a seat."
When the three of them are seated, Karin gets down to the point and says, "Because of the limited
time, I won''t beat around the bush. Ourpany encounters some problems. And we urgently need
investment from a strong businessman. Mr. Simon, I hear that you and my father-inw were pretty
good friends back then. That is the reason why I came all the way here. I hope you can lend us a
helping hand for the sake of our friendship. And after we get through the difficulties this time, we surely
will repay your kindness in the future, Mr. Simon."
"Oh yes." Simon nods, "Joe Charlie died more than ten years ago. Ever since his death, I haven''t been
to Zurich over the past ten years. So I have no idea about the situation of Joe’s family at all… As I say
so, I feel so ashamed, feeling that I owe a lot to Joe."
Karin asks urgently, "Then are you willing to help us?"
He nods, "Of course, I am willing to help you. The Charlie family is in trouble. If I refuse to help you, I
surely will fail my deceased friend. It is just that..."
"Go ahead."
"It is just that when ites to this matter, I have to discuss it with other board members. After all,
investing in foreign countries isn’t a petty matter. Instead, it is a risky matter. If I decide on it alone, it will
inevitably cause dissatisfaction of other board members. I hope you can understand me a little.”
"We can understand this point." Robert nods, "But there aren''t any coterals needed, right?"
"As for this point, it can only be known after we discuss it at the meeting tomorrow. Although I am the
Chairman, I can''t act on it arbitrarily. I need to get the unanimous approval of other board members
before I can get back to the two of you."
"Alright then. We''ll wait for your reply."
Karin nods gratefully, feeling that she has high hopes for him. After exchanging pleasantries with Simon
for half an hour, the two of them get up and say goodbye to Simon.
Before they leave, Simon repeatedly promises that he will do his best to convince his board members
to agree with the investment in theirpany. Seeing that he is quite sincere, Karin sighs with relief
that she hasn’t made a trip in vain.
The next day at noon, she receives a call from Simon again. However, she finds the result a bit
surprising. ording to Simon, at the meeting this morning, the board directors insist that they should
sign an agreement.
She asks anxiously, "What kind of agreement is it?"
"You should provide 10% of your shareholding as coteral so that we won’t suffer any losses after we
invest in yourpany. I know that it is a bit unsympathetic of us to make such a request. But I indeed
tried my best. Because it is indeed a risky investment. As for the fiasco going on in the Charlie Group in
Zurich, a few shareholders of mypany have heard of it. So......"
Karin takes a deep breath, "I know. Then I''ll discuss it with my special assistant first and call you back
after it''s done."
"Okay, I''m so sorry......"
"It''s okay. We should be the ones to say sorry for putting you in a difficult position and making you be
caught in the middle."
Karin hangs up the phone, immediately calls Robert, telling him about Simon''s reply. Then she asks,
"Do you think we should agree to his request?"
"I knew it wouldn''t be that easy. I didn''t have much hope for Mr. Simon before I came here. After all, he
is an old friend of Young Master Troy’s father over the previous generation. And they haven''t contacted
each other for more than ten years. He surely won’t help us wholeheartedly."
"I didn''t hold much hope either. People nowadays prioritize their interests. Troy’s uncles are ruthless, let
alone an outsider."
"Since we''re here, we''re not just going back in vain like this, right?"
"Of course not. I think we’d better sign the agreement. It’s not an excessive request. It is just that they
feel somewhat upset in the heart. And it seems that they don’t trust us."
"Yes. If we want to ask them to invest in ourpany, it is like we are getting a loan from a bank with
some coteral needed. Without any chips in their hands, nobody will dare to lend money to us. If our
company is operating well, then it will be okay. If not, they will be afraid that we will identally go
bankrupt and that they will suffer double losses."
Karin sighs heavily and makes up her mind, "Then let''s agree to sign it. If we don’t make any sacrifices,
we surely won’t get anything. And a month will pass by soon."
After the two of them finish their discussion, they immediately call Simon, saying that they agree to the
request made by his board members.
Over the phone, they agree to sign a cooperation agreement at 10 a.m. the next morning at the
business club where they met the night before.
After Karin leaves Robert''s room, she goes back to her room. As she is about to take a shower, there is
a knock on the door to her room. Thinking that it is Robert, she opens the door, only to realize that it is
a waiter at the hotel in the hotel.
She asks, feeling puzzled, "Can I help you?"
"Here''s a letter for you."
"A letter?" She raises her eyebrows in surprise, "Who is the sender?"
"It was sent in by an olddy, saying that she was entrusted by someone. And she asked me to pass
this letter to the guest in Room 307."
Karin takes the letter in the waiter''s hands over in confusion. After she closes the door, she opens the
letter eagerly and sees that there are a few printed characters on a glossy white paper, which read,
“The Simon Warren you saw the night before is an impostor. Remember not to meet him again."
“An impostor…” Karin is instantly dumbfounded. As her hands tremble, the white paper slowly falls to
the ground. For a few minutes, Karin still can’t get over the shock.
It is unknown how long it takes before she finallyes to her senses. And she immediately takes out
her cell phone to dial Robert''s number, "Come here quickly."
Robert receives her call and quicklyes to her room, asking, "What''s wrong?"
"Look at this..."
She hands him the letter in her hands. After Robert reads the letter, he is no less shocked than Karin,
"Well… What is going on?"
"I''m also confused. It was sent to me by a waiter in the hotel, saying an olddy was entrusted by
someone. It seems that the letter sender doesn''t want us to know who he is. But who is he? How did
he know whom we met? And how did he know that the person we met is a fake one?"
"Could it be that Mr. Simon we met the night before is indeed an impostor?"
"Neither of us have ever met him. And we don''t have a photo of him either. So nobody knows if he is
real or not. And I''m confused as well."
Robert knits his eyebrows and suddenly ms his fist on the door, "He surely is fake. After learning
that Young Master Troy and I wereing to Ennd, the enemy attacked us secretly at night. This
time, we make progress so smoothly, which I find indeed somewhat weird. It seems we are caught in
the enemy''s trap. Fortunately, this mysterious person reminded us in time. Or else, once the agreement
is signed tomorrow, the 10% shares will go down the drain!"
Karin falls into deep thought. And there is a strange feeling in her heart as she thinks to herself, “Could
it be that this mysterious person is…”
