Chapter 125 You have such a powerful background

Ou Shan's company has suffered a series of blows recently, which should be a cause for celebration, but Jiang Tingwan feels vaguely uneasy.

It had been a long time since she had been able to really get in touch with Ou Ya.

The few WeChat messages she occasionally received were brief in content and bland in tone, totally unlike Ou Ya's usual flamboyant and eccentric style.

Jiang Tingwan tried to ask her out, but was always turned down for various reasons.

The people she sent to follow reported that Ou Ya was increasingly frequenting high-end clubs and her aunt's residence. She looked a little nervous and even looked back from time to time, as if she was on guard against something.

Something is wrong.

But at the moment, Jiang Tingwan has no time to investigate further.

Today is the official signing day for the government project, and the plan that she led the team to revise repeatedly was finally finalized.

At this moment, she was sitting at the press conference and signed the contract calmly.

Although Xie Duo's identity was a fake consultant, he also attended the event in a low-key manner as a "specially invited expert."

After the press conference, she came out of the hall and it was almost dusk.

Xie Duo had been waiting at the door for some time. When he saw her come out, he casually put a coat on her shoulders.

"Let's have dinner together later." His tone was natural, but it was not a question, but a statement.

Jiang Tingwan didn't intend to refuse. Xie Duo had indeed made a lot of efforts to make this project a success. She nodded and said, "Okay, this time it's all thanks to you."

Xie Duo raised the corners of his lips slightly, and was about to speak——

bite.

Jiang Tingwan's phone suddenly vibrated.

She looked down and saw a text message from an unfamiliar number pop up on the screen. The content only contained an address: [Hanting Club, VIP Box 3.]

The message was nameless, but it made her heart sink.

This club is where Ou Ya has been frequenting recently.

She had a hunch that what she had been worrying about recently was about to happen, and the owner of this text message was most likely Ou Ya.

"Let's eat another day." She grabbed Xie Duo's wrist and said in a tense voice, "Let's go to Jinyue Club right now."

Xie Duo's eyes narrowed, and without asking any more questions, he gestured to the driver.

The car sped away, and Jiang Tingwan kept dialing Ou Ya's number along the way, but no one answered the call.

The ominous feeling in her heart became stronger and stronger.

----------------------------------------------

Inside the club, VIP box No. 3.

Ou Ya was forced into a corner, with her back pressed against the cold wall.

Her wrists were already bruised from being pinched, but she held the recorder tightly in her hand, refusing to let go even a bit.

"Hand it over!" a man with a face full of flesh shouted sternly, "Don't think that we dare not touch you just because you are Mr. Ou's daughter!"

They originally let her in because she was Ou Shan's daughter, but they didn't expect that the person who had been providing evidence to the Supervisory Bureau during this period was actually her!

They wanted to snatch the recorder from her hand, but Ou Ya refused.

Ou Ya sneered, and suddenly pulled out a folding knife from his pocket, flicked it open, swung it forward, and pointed the tip of the knife directly at his throat: "Come one step closer, and I'll die here!"

Her voice was trembling, but her eyes were fierce, "How dare you touch me?"

Everyone froze for a moment and looked at each other.

Indeed, Ou Ya is Ou Shan's only daughter after all, and her uncle is the deputy director of finance. If someone really dies, if they blame them, no one can bear the responsibility.

During the stalemate, one of them took out his cell phone and called the deputy director of finance.

After reporting in a low voice, there was silence for a few seconds on the other end of the phone, and then a cold voice came:

"If she doesn't give it to me, I'll get rid of it."

After the call was hung up, the atmosphere in the box instantly dropped to freezing point.

They really didn't expect that the Deputy Director of Finance would have this attitude towards his niece, but they had no time to hesitate.

With his permission, the men exchanged glances, and when they looked at Ou Ya again, their eyes were filled with murderous intent.

"You asked for this." The leader approached with a grin.

Ou Ya's hand holding the knife began to tremble, but he still refused to give in.

Just when several people were about to pounce on him——

"Bang!"

The door of the box was kicked open!

Jiang Tingwan stood at the door, with Xie Duo, who had a gloomy face, standing behind him.

Her eyes swept across the men in the room, finally landing on Ou Ya's pale face, and her eyes froze instantly.

"Try to move her?"

Jiang Tingwan walked slowly into the box. Her high heels made no sound as they stepped on the carpet, but the feeling of oppression made everyone unconsciously take a step back.

Although Xie Duo didn't do much, he gave her a strong presence standing behind her.

The air in the box stagnated for a moment.

Most of those people were officials who benefited from the situation behind the scenes. They rarely appeared in public and were not familiar with Jiang Tingwan and Xie Duo. They just regarded them as helpers called by Ou Ya and did not take them seriously at all.

Seeing Jiang Tingwan helping Ou Ya up and about to walk out, one of them winked and immediately two of his men rushed forward and reached out to snatch the recorder that Ou Ya was holding tightly.

"court death."

Xie Duo's eyes turned cold, and he raised his leg and kicked the first person who rushed up, causing him to stagger back and knock over the coffee table.

The glass smashed to the ground, shattering into pieces.

Seeing this, the other man gritted his teeth and rushed forward again, but Xie Duo grabbed his wrist with his backhand and threw him over his shoulder, causing him to fall heavily to the ground, curling up in pain.

"You--" The leader's face turned pale and he was about to explode, but suddenly he met Xie Duo's gaze.

Xie Duo stared at him and slowly said, "Director Li, long time no see."

The man who was named froze up and his pupils shrank. He had always kept a low profile in the financial system and rarely made public appearances, just to avoid being recognized. How could this young man, whom he had never met before, know him?

He didn't know that Xie Duo had already figured out everyone's information before he was transferred to Hong Kong City.

"You, you got the wrong person!" The man subconsciously took a half step back, his voice weak. He dared to command people in a group to stop Ou Ya from leaving, but he was afraid that his identity would be scandalized and he would be deprived of his current position.

Xie Duo didn't say anything, just lowered his head and swiped a few times on his phone, then turned the screen towards him: "Your minister's phone number."

When the man heard this, he thought Xie Duo was asking for his minister's phone number and subconsciously refused.

"I, I didn't..." He shook his head incoherently, cold sweat oozing from his forehead.

Xie Duo's eyes were sharp, and his patience was almost exhausted. He directly stuffed the phone into his hand: "I want you to answer the call from your minister."

The man's face turned pale immediately. It was impossible for an ordinary person to contact his minister so quickly. Only those who reached his level or above could contact him at any time through private numbers.

He took the phone tremblingly, and just as he said "Hello", he heard an angry scolding from the other end of the line.

His shoulders visibly slumped, his legs weakened, and he almost fell to his knees.

When he hung up the phone, he seemed to have been drained of all his strength, and his lips trembled as he gave way: "It's over, it's over..."

When he heard the person on the phone talking about Xie Duo's identity word by word, he knew that his career was in jeopardy. Not only that, there was a great possibility that he would face imprisonment.

When the others saw this, they looked at each other and finally realized that something was wrong.

The backgrounds of these two people must be unfathomable to scare Director Li like this.

Fear spread in the box. The group of people who were originally so aggressive now all shrank their necks and dared not even breathe.

They couldn't even reach the power and position of Ou Shan's brother-in-law. They just wanted to get a piece of the pie and help him clear some obstacles. They didn't expect that they would directly provoke a big shot this time...

Xie Duo took back his phone, glanced at them coldly, turned around and protected Jiang Tingwan and Ou Ya as they left.

It was not until the door of the box was closed again that the people inside woke up from their dreams and frantically took out their phones to make calls.

Something big is going to happen.

In the corridor, Ou Ya finally couldn't hold on any longer and her legs went weak and she was about to fall down.

Jiang Tingwan held her and felt that her whole body was shaking.

"It's okay." Jiang Tingwan said softly, taking the recorder from her hand, "Let's leave here first."

Ou Ya nodded, and tears finally fell.

Even though she had a good ability to withstand stress, she was still a little frightened when she faced that scene alone.

She opened her mouth to say something, but was interrupted by Xie Duo: "Let's talk in the car."

He looked around vigilantly, and after confirming that there was no one tailing him, he quickly left through the back door of the club with the two of them.

In the darkness of the night, the black sedan slid silently into the traffic, leaving the magnificent cage far behind.

--------------------------------------

Inside the car, Ou Ya's emotions had calmed down a lot.

She took the hot tea handed to her by Jiang Tingwan. Her fingertips were still trembling, but her eyes had regained their former liveliness.

"So, you are the one who has been sending anonymous emails to Xie Duo?" Jiang Tingwan suddenly spoke, saying lightly.

Ou Ya was startled, then nodded a little embarrassedly: "It's me..."

She pursed her lips and whispered, "If I had known earlier that you two had such a powerful background, I would have sent it to you directly.
