Chapter 306 A Game Within a Game
On another morning when Xia Yue was being pressured by a shell money laundering company to repay her debts, she dialed Gu Chen's number.
Gu Chen answered almost instantly, speaking in a gentle yet ambiguous tone, "Junior sister, good morning, you finally remembered me."
Xia Yue feels disgusted just hearing Gu Chen's voice now!
This person is despicable and filthy; he will stop at nothing to achieve his goals.
But since the decision to take revenge has been made, then this charade must be put on a good show.
Xia Yue suppressed her discomfort and pleaded in a low voice, "The Xia family's cash flow is in trouble, and I would like to ask for your help."
"The sun has risen in the west? It's quite unexpected that Junior Sister would think of me." Gu Chen replied in a very affected manner.
Xia Yue didn't have Gu Chen's good mentality. She couldn't keep up the act anymore and directly laid her cards on the table, saying, "I've investigated. The Xia family's troubles this time were all your doing behind the scenes. Who else should I go after if not you?"
"You can't say that. Do you have any evidence? If you don't have evidence, then it's slander." Gu Chen certainly wouldn't admit it so easily.
If this kind of vicious business competition is recorded and exposed, it will definitely affect Gujia's stock price.
It was a losing proposition for him.
"Alright, let's stop beating around the bush. If you don't want to talk on the phone, then let's talk face to face. Come to the Xia family, is that alright?" Xia Yue said impatiently.
Gu Chen still refused, "Junior Sister, the last time was such a big scene, I almost didn't leave the Xia family alive, I dare not come again."
"Who told you to do so many bad things! I've been completely fooled all this time, I wish I could kill you!" Xia Yue became increasingly angry, and her voice grew louder and louder.
Seeing this, Qin Yeting reached out and gently patted Xia Yue's head, signaling her not to be so impulsive.
The more they act this way, the easier it is for Gu Chen to lead them by the nose.
When Qin Yeting touched Xia Yue, she seemed like a cat whose fur had been stroked, and indeed became more subdued.
She took a deep breath and said to Gu Chen, "Since you're afraid I'm setting a trap, then you can choose the location, and we can talk in person. Is that alright?"
"That's more like it." Gu Chen's tone was particularly irritating.
Xia Yue cursed Gu Chen a hundred times in her heart. When they met, she was determined to use her newly developed poison to torture this scumbag.
After a moment of silence, Gu Chen said, "Then let's meet at Night Drunken Bar at 10 PM tonight."
"The bar is too noisy and crowded; it's not a good place to talk business. Let's find another place." Xia Yue wasn't going to be led by the nose forever.
Gu Chen didn't give him any chance and hung up the phone directly.
Xia Yue was so angry she wanted to smash her phone, but then she thought that it wasn't worth wasting her phone on someone like that.
Qin Yeting then analyzed, "The bar is just a front. Given Gu Chen's cunning, he wouldn't discuss business in a place like that."
Qin Yeting regarded Gu Chen as his number one rival in love, so he had naturally analyzed the other's thoughts and actions thoroughly long ago.
Upon hearing this, Xia Yue suddenly understood!
She couldn't help but praise, "Indeed, having you as my strategist was the right decision."
Seeing that Xia Yue still treated him like an outsider, Qin Yeting frowned slightly and said unhappily, "I am not only your strategist, but also your most trusted partner, Xiao Yue'er. We are one!"
Xia Yue didn't address the question directly, but instead pressed on, "Since the bar is just a front, should I still go?"
"Of course I'll go, and I'll pretend I know nothing and that I've already taken the bait."
However, I will install trackers, surveillance devices, and communication equipment on you so we can stay in touch at all times.
If anything goes wrong, I'll rush out to protect you.
Qin Yeting spoke in a serious tone.
Xia Yue dislikes being watched, but this is the best solution for her now.
-
At 10 p.m., the Night Drunken Bar is at its liveliest.
The dance floor was a chaotic mess, with deafening music making my temples throb.
Summer rarely comes to places like this, and she finds it very difficult to adjust.
As agreed with Gu Chen, she arrived at booth 001.
But after waiting for nearly half an hour, there was still no sign of Gu Chen appearing.
If I hadn't known beforehand that this was just a ruse, I probably would have already started cursing Gu Chen to death.
Just as Xia Yue's patience was about to reach its limit, a waiter gave her a small note.
It says, "Turn right after you leave, see you at the underground casino."
Depend on!
They're really just playing with her!
Xia Yue walked out of the bar and called Gu Chen. Gu Chen answered immediately and preemptively said, "Junior sister, I know you're angry, but you're also on guard against me, sending so many people to ambush me in the bar. How could I dare to show up?" "You're talking nonsense! I came alone!" Xia Yue shouted back on the spot.
Knowing that the bar was just a front, neither she nor Qin Yeting sent anyone to set up an ambush there.
Gu Chen was deliberately testing her.
Hearing Xia Yue's reaction, Gu Chen smiled and said gently, "Junior sister, don't worry, I definitely won't lie to you this time. We'll meet at the underground casino."
"Fine! If you don't come, you're a coward! A bastard!"
Gu Chen, “…”
His junior sister's ways of scolding him are getting more and more varied; perhaps this can be considered a kind of progress?
Gu Chen felt inexplicably happy.
He seems to have developed masochistic tendencies.
If Xia Yue knew what Gu Chen was thinking, she would probably block and delete the entire service immediately and never pay attention to him again!
She took a deep breath, hailed a taxi at random on the roadside, and headed to the gray area of Yancheng, the underground casino.
Qin Yeting's voice came through the invisible earpiece, "The underground casino is one of the sources of funding for the Drug organization. He invited you there, probably because he's set up an even more troublesome trap."
That bastard!
Xia Yue cursed inwardly.
"But don't worry, I investigated Gu Chen before and set up an ambush point in the underground casino."
"That's good." Xia Yue breathed a sigh of relief. "Thank you."
"Little Yue'er, you weren't this polite to me before. When can we go back to how things were before?" Qin Yeting suddenly sighed.
Xia Yue always finds it difficult to face this topic naturally.
She didn't love this man, yet she couldn't let go of him; this feeling was extremely conflicted.
The only response is silence.
Silence was as profound as the empty streets outside and the pitch-black night sky.
As the waning moon hangs in the west, some emotions are destined to be complicated.
However, Xia Yue soon lost interest in such matters of love and romance.
She discovered that the taxi driver hadn't gone to her destination at all, but instead drove to a very remote suburb.
These are two different paths.
Xia Yue's eyes changed slightly, but she first calmed herself down.
Qin Yeting installed a locator, a pinhole camera, and an invisible earpiece in her ear so that they could contact each other at any time.
There shouldn't be any problems.
Xia Yue feigned dissatisfaction and questioned, "Master, you've taken the wrong route. I can find the way. I won't pay you for taking this detour, and I'm going to report you!"
Xia Yue made a threat, but the driver in front of her didn't respond at all.
Xia Yue was getting anxious and stuck her head out to look at the driver in the front seat.
But when she saw the driver's face, she was instantly stunned and fell back into her seat in fright!
