After being trained on the mountain for eighteen years, Lin Yilan could finally descend – her purpose in descending was to get married.
The ice-cold Huo Juncheng, who rarely approached women,...
Chapter 466: Visiting Phone Call
Yes.
Huo Juncheng knew he couldn't get anything out of Qin Chaotian, and that was exactly what he'd expected. This man was impeccable!
He called the waiter and motioned Lin Yilan to come in.
"You can order now!"
When Lin Yilan heard Huo Juncheng's voice, she opened the door and allowed the waiter to go in with her. Chu Siran followed closely behind Lin Yilan. She tried her best not to look at Qin Chaotian and found a seat to sit down.
Qin Chaotian seemed to have known what they were planning to do to him, and he calmly ordered a few of his favorite dishes.
Long Cheng stood at the door and showed no intention of leaving. Several people just stayed with him in the stalemate.
Huo Juncheng had no way to deal with Qin Chaotian, so he waved his hand and let Long Cheng go first. Lin Yilan took a seat and ordered food with Huo Juncheng.
"Boss Huo's way of entertaining guests is quite novel." Qin Chaotian pursed his lips into a line: "Just as novel as your love of gossip."
"Boss Qin appreciates me again."
Chu Siran ate in silence, and Lin Yilan was busy eating the food in front of her, not interacting with anyone else. Huo Juncheng and Qin Chaotian exchanged blows, each practicing Tai Chi.
The content of their conversation was so awkward that it made Lin Yilan and Chu Siran very embarrassed.
Chu Siran really couldn't help it: "Lin Yilan, I can't stand it anymore." After she finished speaking, she threw the chopsticks on the table: "Qin Chaotian!" Chu Siran had completely forgotten what Huo Juncheng had told her.
She stood up, pointed at Qin Chaotian, and cursed, "Qin Chaotian, you're trying to beat me around the bush. Don't you know that there's a call record between Chu Xi and me? It's her begging me to save her! Do you think you did it perfectly?"
The woman Qin Chaotian least wanted to fight was Chu Siran. He deliberately avoided her gaze and cut the beef in his hand indifferently.
Time passed minute by minute, and Qin Chaotian's assistant somehow found out his location.
The assistant brought dozens of his men into the box.
The hotel owner and the waiter retreated one after another.
With a "bang", the door of the box was kicked open!
Dozens of people almost surrounded the box. One of them, an assistant, stood in front of Qin Chaotian with a panicked look on his face: "Boss Qin, we are late."
Qin Chaotian remained calm and ate the sliced beef on the white porcelain plate. Then he took off his disposable scarf and asked, "Who let you in?" He stood up slowly and cursed fiercely.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin..."
Qin Chaotian glanced at Chu Siran out of the corner of his eye, raised his eyebrows and said goodbye to Huo Juncheng in a friendly manner: "My group of little brothers are ignorant. Thank you very much for Mr. Huo's hospitality today."
After he said that, he left with his brothers.
Lin Yilan was a little worried about Longcheng, so she hurried out to take a look around!
These people dared to kick the door of the box, so where was Long Cheng? As soon as she left, Long Cheng came out from the box next to her: "Idol Senior Sister, are you done eating?"
"Where have you been?"
Long Cheng responded awkwardly: "Hey, I have a stomachache."
Lin Yilan: “…”
What a misfortune for our family!
After Lin Yilan and Long Cheng returned to the private room, Huo Juncheng was already packing up and preparing to leave. Chu Siran sighed, "Oh, this Qin Chaotian is really amazing! Did he install a tracking device on himself? How did those people find him?"
This served as a wake-up call for them.
"Yeah, I'm curious too. He hasn't touched his phone since we invited him up here." Lin Yilan asked in confusion.
Huo Juncheng held his forehead, feeling really worried about the intelligence of these two women: "Is it okay if he told me before getting in the car?"
"Well... yes."
…
After Qin Chaotian left, he kept thinking about whether to contact Smith!
Chu Xi has evidence of his murder, and Smith has something that can control him... If Chu Xi changes his confession and exposes his murder, what will he do in the future?
After thinking it over, I finally dialed the business card on the phone.
"Mr. Smith, I feel it would be disrespectful of you if I didn't cooperate with you. But I have one condition. I want a life!"
Smith had long been as comfortable with killing as he was with eating. He asked calmly, "Tell me, whose life do you want?"
"Chu Xi."
…
Chu family.
Chu's parents have been discussing countermeasures, how to make Chu Xi admit the crime and not implicate Qin Chaotian! Only in this way can they keep their property.
Father Chu felt that this approach was inappropriate: "Wouldn't this damage our moral character?" After all, she was still his daughter.
"Virtue? Which is more important, virtue or money? Sacrificing one person can ensure that three people will have enough food and clothing in the future. What's wrong with that?" After Chu's mother finished educating Chu's father, she was about to call Chu Siran and ask her to go home immediately.
At this moment, a strange phone call suddenly came in on the phone.
The other end said clearly: "It's time for Chu Xi, this chess piece, to show her value. Chu Xi's mother will be returning to China soon to participate in an art exhibition. You can use her connections to get Chu Xi out."
Chu Xi's mother?
They had raised Chu Xi for so long but still didn't know who her biological mother was. Who was the woman who informed them?
"Who are you?" How do you know so much about what happened in their family?
Song Siyu didn't hide it: "Auntie and uncle, we have met before. I am Song Siyu."
Song Siyu...
The old couple began to recall Song Siyu, who stole the limelight at Qin Chaotian and Chu Xi's wedding. Wasn't she the mistress of a foreign tycoon?
Before Mrs. Chu could ask anything else, Song Siyu hung up the phone. "I'll let you know the date. If you want to protect the Chu and Qin families, you must do as I say!"
Chu Xi doesn’t have any strength, so how did he get to know Song Siyu?
The woman was more thoughtful. Looking at the bewildered Mr. Chu beside her, she asked, "Did you notice anything was wrong?"
"What's wrong?"
"Aside from bearing the Chu family's name, Chu Xi is simply someone who can't be exploited! If this woman is helping Chu Xi out of friendship, I'm a little skeptical. If she's so good, why haven't I heard Chu Xi mention that she has such a good friend before? Why did she appear at this time?"
"Wife, are you overthinking it? You've already said Chu Xi is a useless pawn. What can she do to protect Chu Xi at this time?"
Mother Chu was confused by herself, but after listening to Father Chu's analysis, she felt that there was nothing wrong.
Do you want to believe the story about Chu Xi’s biological mother?
As night fell, the city lights began to shine brightly one after another. Chu Siran returned home. She threw her bag behind her, feeling a little bored, and slumped on the sofa. Suddenly, a voice came into her ears: "Chu Siran, do you know a woman named Song Siyu? She is said to be Chu Xi's friend."
"who?"
Song Siyu???
