Upon hearing Meng Zihan doubt the authenticity of his information, Mai Ge's smile immediately vanished, and he became displeased.
“Miss Meng! You can eat whatever you want, but you can’t say whatever you want!” he said angrily. “I, Brother Mai, have been in this business for over ten years. What do I rely on? It’s the four words: ‘genuine and reliable’! If you don’t trust me, you shouldn’t have come to me in the first place. Questioning my information? You’re ruining my reputation!”
He grew increasingly agitated, pointing towards the door: "In this port city, everyone's news can be false—the police, the newspapers, they can all be distorted. But anything that comes out of my place, Brother Mai, is absolutely accurate! Otherwise, why would I dare charge you 30,000 yuan?!"
Mai Ge's outburst was so sudden and forceful that Meng Zihan's last remaining hope was completely shattered by his yelling.
Yes, they dare to ask for that price because they have the confidence to do so.
She just...
I just can't accept this fact.
When Mai saw that her face was pale, he realized she was indeed frightened, and his anger subsided a bit.
He leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, took a drag, and his tone turned cold and hard.
“I have to be upfront about this. I’ve found out about this for you. What you do with the information is your business. But don’t drag me into it. If Zhang Qingxiang’s people come knocking on my door and ask if I gave you the information, I won’t admit to a single word.”
"This Zhang Qingxiang is no simple man. I'm not getting involved in this mess."
Meng Zihan quickly pressed, "Zhang Qingxiang... who exactly is he? How is he so extraordinary?"
Mycroft glanced at her sideways.
The woman in front of me, though dressed in a fashionable and glamorous way, looked like a frightened chick, her face pale and her whole body trembling, making her look rather pitiful.
Perhaps out of respect for the introducer, Sister Fanny, or perhaps because he was in a good mood after making 30,000 yuan, Brother Mai said a few more words and didn't ask Meng Zihan to add any more money.
"To tell you the truth, I followed this line of inquiry and did some research when I had nothing else to do. I found out that all the bosses of the three companies Linda worked for who later went to jail were, without exception, former mistresses of this Mr. Zhang Qingxiang."
Upon hearing this, Meng Zihan felt dizzy and disoriented.
lover……
Those three unlucky guys were all Director Zhang's mistresses!
Therefore, all of this, from beginning to end, is a complete scam!
A trap specifically designed for his lovers!
All that talk about her learning how to manage the business and how they treated her like a daughter was a lie!
Director Zhang is supporting her, but that's not because he values her. He's clearly fattening her up like a pig before sending her to the slaughterhouse!
He just wanted to keep someone as a tool to launder money for him, a scapegoat that could be thrown out to take the blame at any time after the incident!
No wonder she felt Linda was a hindrance and wanted to replace her, but Director Zhang flatly refused!
It turns out they were all in cahoots, and I was the one who was kept in the dark and was completely fooled!
What's the point of thinking about these things now?
Director Zhang is so capable and holds such a high position; he has connections everywhere in Hong Kong.
What about me? I'm a powerless outsider from the mainland, with no one to back me up. How am I supposed to fight him?
What's the difference between this and an egg hitting a rock?
It’s over…
It's all over...
Why is this happening?
She's clearly a time-traveling woman with memories of the future; her life shouldn't be like this!
She should be like the characters in novels, using her prophecy to speculate on stocks and real estate, befriending powerful figures, winning everything effortlessly, and reaching the pinnacle of life!
How did we end up in such a situation?
Meng Zihan could almost hear the sirens blaring downstairs. She knew that the police would rush up, handcuff her, and take her to jail in the next second!
"Miss Meng? Miss Meng?"
Seeing Meng Zihan's distraught appearance, Mai Ge couldn't help but sigh.
However, having worked in this industry, he had seen far worse scenes than this.
If he sympathized with every customer, he wouldn't have to work anymore.
Business is business, and personal relationships are personal relationships.
He carefully organized the documents and photos on the table, put them back into the brown paper bag, sealed it, and handed it to Meng Zihan.
"Ms. Meng, I have an appointment with a client, so I can't keep you any longer."
The meaning couldn't be clearer: you should go!
Meng Zihan took the brown paper bag and tried to stuff it into her handbag several times, but either she couldn't get the opening right or her hand slipped out.
His disheveled appearance made even Brother Mai feel a little sorry for him.
After finally managing to stuff her things into her bag, she leaned on the table, intending to stand up and leave.
However, her legs had already gone limp with fear, like two noodles, and she couldn't muster any strength to stand up.
Myco frowned, worried that the woman might accidentally frighten him and cause him unnecessary trouble.
He had no choice but to walk over, lift one of Meng Zihan's arms, and half-carry, half-drag her downstairs.
Mai hailed a taxi, shoved her inside, and then turned and left.
The driver, a middle-aged man in his forties, waited for a long time without hearing any movement. He turned around impatiently and asked, "Miss, where are you going?"
Where to?
Meng Zihan stared blankly at the street scene outside the window, not knowing where she could go.
Back to the company?
What are we going back for?
To continue being the puppet kept in the dark, watching helplessly as Linda launders money, and then wait for the police to come knocking?
Back to the apartment?
That luxury apartment is owned by Director Zhang; it's a canary's cage.
If she goes back now, wouldn't she be walking into a trap?
No! She can't just sit here and wait to die!
She's going to rebel!
She needs to find a way!
But……
How to resist?
In Hong Kong, she was all alone, and how could she possibly outmaneuver the cunning and shrewd Director Zhang?
She needs to find someone to help her!
Who can I ask for help?
In this unfamiliar place, who could she trust?
Suddenly, a name flashed into her mind.
Ye Linchen!
Although she was jealous of Ye Linchen, she had to admit that Ye Linchen was not only doing very well after his rebirth, but he could even handle someone as difficult as Gu Jingran, which showed that he was quite capable.
Moreover, she was in Jiangcheng, thousands of miles away, yet she could sense something was wrong and even reminded her that Director Zhang was using her to launder money. What does that mean?
That means she must have a way!
Yes, go find her and ask her to help you solve your current problem!
"Hey! Miss! Where are you going?"
The driver grew increasingly impatient as he watched her sitting in the back seat, her expression changing repeatedly, yet she remained silent about where she was going.
"Parking is not allowed here! If you're not going to say anything, get out of the car! Don't delay my business!"
Meng Zihan raised her head, no longer hesitating, and resolutely said, "To the airport! To the airport! I want to go to the airport!"
