"Pfft!" Huang He impolitely spat out the water in his mouth, then immediately walked to the window and saw the lawyer's appearance, spitting out the remaining half of the water.
"Could it be that coincidental?" Huang He muttered to himself. "Even a novel script wouldn't dare to write something like this!"
At this moment, Omar was not as surprised as Huang He. He was very angry that these people were blocking him from entering.
Just as Omar was about to lose his temper, the door opened, and a young Asian man walked out. He made a gesture to the people blocking him, and they all dispersed.
"I am very sorry!" Huang He proactively extended his hand, and the bodyguard who understood Chinese translated for Huang He, "I was in the room discussing work matters with Mr. Li An, and I didn't expect my bodyguard to stop you for my safety. I apologize to you on behalf of my bodyguard!"
"It's alright, I was also slightly agitated!" As the saying goes, one doesn't strike a smiling face. Moreover, since Huang He apologized first, Omar immediately put away his intention to lose his temper and shook hands with Huang He.
"Hello, sir, are you here to see Mr. Li An?" Huang He pulled Omar into the courtyard and asked curiously, "No, although I had some dealings with Mr. Li An regarding certain cases, I don't have any business with him today. I was just passing by and saw some strangers near Mr. Li An's house. I was very worried, so I came to take a look!"
"Omar actually had dealings with Li An!!" Huang He was shocked, but then he thought about it and it was normal. Omar seemed to have been elected as a state senator in Illinois this year, and before entering politics, his profession was a civil rights lawyer.
Civil rights lawyers are those who, at very low prices, provide free legal services to the poor who cannot afford legal fees.
Although such civil rights lawyers have very low incomes and live on subsidies, civil rights lawyers are a shortcut to politics for politicians.
Due to their professional characteristics, these civil rights lawyers frequently come into contact with a large number of grassroots people. Once they win a case for some people and have a good reputation, it will spread among many poor people. This way, they can gain a large number of voter support when running for positions like state senator.
This is a shortcut for many ordinary people to enter politics, because ordinary people cannot obtain the resources of political families. They can only climb up step by step through such means.
It is quite magical. Omar and a certain future Mr. Dong are opposed to each other, but their rise to power is actually similar. Although Mr. Dong is a billionaire, his political resources are even worse than those of ordinary people, and he completely relied on ordinary people to ascend to the highest position.
"In that case, you are truly a brave person!" Huang He exclaimed, "If it were me, seeing so many armed people, I would definitely hide far away and would never dare to step forward! I truly admire you!"
"Not at all, I don't actually have that much courage. It's just that I deeply admire Mr. Li An. He is a respectable person, and I don't want him to encounter any danger," Omar said modestly.
In fact, Omar was lying. He knew that he would be fine going up. This was because before going up, he had observed the equipment of these people and found that they were all standard military issue, and some of the equipment was even better than the military's.
Especially the bulletproof vests they were wearing, which was very important.
In the United States, although carrying guns is legal, wearing bulletproof vests is illegal. I know this sounds a bit absurd, but it is indeed the truth, because according to the logic of Americans.
A person walking on the street with a gun may not necessarily intend to kill, but a person wearing a bulletproof vest on the street must have a problem.
Because when he is armed and wearing a bulletproof vest, the weapons equipped by the police cannot effectively harm him. This way, he can wield his weapons rampantly, and the police cannot deal with him until the guard arrives.
This is not acceptable. This way, the police's work cannot proceed!
Therefore, US law stipulates that normal citizens can carry guns, but they are not allowed to wear bulletproof vests, otherwise it is a criminal act.
To get back to the point, Omar noticed that the people standing outside were all wearing bulletproof vests, carrying high-powered weapons, and openly standing around the house, blocking all lines of sight.
So the answer is very clear: these people must be professional bodyguards, because only bodyguards can possess bulletproof vests and equipment like M4s. And every bodyguard is strictly registered and has a clear identity.
As mentioned before, no bodyguard would illegally discharge their weapon. Although the weapons in their hands are the most powerful, they are also the safest. This is why Omar dared to charge forward, because he knew there would be no life-threatening danger unless he pulled out a gun himself.
However, even this point would not have made Omar charge forward. The real reason that made him charge forward was for the person being protected by these bodyguards.
Although Li An is a public figure in the United States, Li An is very low-key and has never used bodyguards, so these cannot be Li An's bodyguards.
But as a top director, Li An would certainly cooperate with various capital and consortiums, so it is very reasonable for some big bosses or politicians to come to discuss matters with Li An.
Therefore, these bodyguards must be here to protect this important figure, so Omar chose to charge forward. This way, the important figure might come out to show himself, and he would have an opportunity to meet the other person.
And if they met, they might chat, and if they chatted, they might appreciate each other, and he would gain a connection, which would provide new assistance in his future campaign for senator or even higher political office.
This is Omar's true intention. Some people might think that Omar doesn't seem like that kind of person. But please, let's think about one thing: can a naive and innocent person become the President of the United States?
During his campaign, Omar received endorsements from many important figures in the later stages. After leaving office, Omar also has high popularity within the party. These are all results of years of cultivation of connections.
It is a pity that when he saw Huang He, Omar was a little disappointed because he was an East Asian, not a white person. This meant that the other person was a rich man, not a politician, which made it difficult for him to help Omar more.
Especially since he was an Asian billionaire. Asians are the least involved group in American politics. They only care about their own groups. They rarely donate money or provide political contributions in the US elections. Therefore, he probably wouldn't be able to get much financial assistance from this Asian billionaire.
Of course, Omar would not reveal these thoughts and regrets on his face. He would only shake hands with Huang He very enthusiastically, and after Huang He called Leng Zhiruo to translate, they began to communicate more.
As a result, Omar was surprised to find that although this was an Asian billionaire, he and the other person hit it off unexpectedly, especially on many political viewpoints, where they perfectly matched.
For example, on the issue of gun control in America, medical insurance reform, more job opportunities, and globalization, their views were astonishingly consistent. This gave Omar a feeling of Bo Ya meeting Zi Qi, but unfortunately, the other person was an Asian billionaire.
Soon, it was mealtime, and at Huang He's enthusiastic invitation, Omar also stayed for a barbecue. Li An secretly gave Huang He a glare for this.
"Mr. Omar, talking with you has been a great pleasure. I have an unsolicited request: I hope you can serve as our company's legal advisor in the United States. What do you think?" Huang He said sincerely. If he could invite Omar to be his legal advisor, he could do whatever he pleased in the United States for the next eight years.
"This, I'm afraid I can't agree to it!" Unfortunately, Omar shook his head decisively.
"Why?" Huang He asked with disappointment.
"Because I am a civil rights lawyer. My lifelong goal is to uphold justice and solve problems for the poor American people. However, if I were to become a legal advisor for a certain group, these people would become suspicious of me, and I would lose their trust, so I cannot accept your invitation," Omar said frankly.
"Yes!" Huang He nodded with great emotion, "This not only makes the public suspicious but could also become a stain on my campaign path in the future. During the general election, the experience of serving as a legal advisor for a foreign enterprise could become a target for opponents to attack, which would seriously damage my competitiveness for the highest position!"
"..." Omar listened dumbfounded, and after a while, he said, "Mr. Huang, you think too highly of me. My goal is only to become a senator. I dare not even think about general elections. Please don't scare me!"
"No, you can not only think about it, but you can think about it casually, because all of this will become a reality in the future!" Huang He said lightly, at the same time, a smile appeared on his face that Omar would ponder for many years to come.
"Your joke is too much!" Omar said uneasily.
"No, Mr. Omar, may I ask, do you know the Book of Changes?" Huang He asked.
"I've heard of it. It seems to be a mysterious book from China!" Omar's knowledge was quite extensive, and he even knew about the Book of Changes. This was good, as it saved Huang He the trouble of explaining.
"In addition to being an entrepreneur, I am also a researcher of the Book of Changes, and I have some research on it!" Huang He said lightly, "The destinies of all people in this world are written on their faces. As long as I see their faces, I know their future."
"And your face, it is a genuine dragon's countenance, especially your forehead. Coupled with your birth date and time, I can confidently say that you are the true Son of Heaven."
"Mr. Omar, you indeed possess the bearing of the Emperor of the United States."
