Chapter Thirty-Eight: Catching the Caught



She walked at a leisurely pace.

They didn't take this farce to heart at all.

Once everyone left, Wang Minlin breathed a heavy sigh of relief, but then became furious again.

I really hate people who are arrogant!

Besides, she's clearly here to cause trouble, so why should we be afraid of her?

Wouldn't that make her laugh at us?

Anger gave Wang Minlin renewed courage, but she had only taken two steps when she was stopped by a smiling shop assistant: "Miss, the coffee you spilled has stained the carpet. Please pay for the cleaning."

Wang Minlin impatiently pulled out a card, curled her lip, and raised her chin dismissively: "Swipe it." It's just dry cleaning fees, right? They actually expect the customer to pay? This shop is so stingy!

A moment later.

"The cleaning fee is over ten thousand yuan!" Wang Minlin screamed, her voice deafening. "Are you robbing me?"

In such a high-end, custom-made piano shop, shouting loudly one after another is extremely impolite, and many people frowned and looked over.

Wang Minlin's face flushed red, wishing she could find a hole to crawl into. She couldn't help but think angrily: It's all Yu Wan's fault. If it weren't for her, how could she have been humiliated time and time again?

The salesperson smiled and nodded: "This is an imported Persian rose carpet, worth 100,000 yuan per square meter. If there are no problems, I'll process the payment directly."

Wang Minlin was heartbroken; all her living expenses for the month had been spent on it. But to save face, she gritted her teeth and nodded.

Once outside the gate, there was no sign of Yu Wan.

A heavy rain came quickly and went just as fast. The sky cleared, and a rare rainbow hung in the sky above the city, a sight both unusual and novel, prompting many people to take out their phones to take pictures.

While waiting at a red light, Yu Wan was still puzzled. Who was the kind-hearted person who had quietly done such a good deed? She took out her phone and asked about it in her group of friends, which immediately brought up a bunch of people.

[The most handsome blade of grass in the world: Sister Yu, you didn't know? We all thought you did it.]

[I'm the boss in the city: Wang's stock price has dropped by more than ten yuan in the last two days, several large orders have fallen through, and Chairman Wang has also been exposed for several sex scandals. (Eating melon seeds/pictures)]

[Meng Shen: Tsk... From the moment they made their move to leaving the market, the other party acted swiftly and decisively, their style ruthless and cautious, leaving not a trace. If Tang Yue hadn't already gone bankrupt, the blame might have been directed at him.]

Yu Wan's eyelids twitched.

No, it won't.

She immediately dismissed the idea in her mind: Tang Yue is bankrupt, how could he still cause such a stir in Jiangcheng's financial circles? Most importantly, he has no reason to target the Wang Group, after all, Wang Minlin is his best friend!

An inexplicable sense of irritability washed over me again.

Yu Wan suddenly wanted to question Tang Yue: Did he really see her as a substitute for Ji Yun Chu, approaching her once or twice, even going so far as to abandon his dignity to work as a housekeeper? Was he using her to soothe his longing for that innocent girl?

She curled her fingers and gripped the steering wheel tightly. After a moment, she gave a self-deprecating smile. When did she become so timid? It's such a trivial matter; she should just ask directly.

ask!

You must ask in person!

If it really is...

She twisted his head off!

[Huang San: What has Tang Yue been up to lately? We haven't heard from him in the industry at all.]

[The most handsome blade of grass in the world: Same question.]

The group chat was buzzing with discussion when Meng Shen silently left. Being the only one who knew all the gossip but couldn't say a word was incredibly frustrating. He opened Yu Wan's chat window and sent her a message.

[Meng Shen: You've turned down several parties these past two days, could it be... tsk tsk, is it because you've been indulging in too much sex?]

[Yu Wan: Smiling face JPG.]

[Yu Xiaowan: You said I was going to kill Tang Yue, can my dad get me out of this mess?]

[Meng Shen: ...It's the 21st century already; we should be law-abiding, good socialist youth.]

Meng Shen: ?

[Meng Shen: You're not serious, are you? Yu Xiaowan, are you crazy? Do you think it's been easy for Daddy to raise you? You can't do anything stupid...]

[Meng Shen: Damn, where are you? I'm coming to find you now.]

Yu Wan drove back to Jiangda Apartment. After getting out of the car, she was shocked to find an electric scooter with "X-Meituan Delivery" written on it parked in front of the door. Her brows furrowed tightly. She stood there stunned for a while before taking out her phone to search online.

"How much can a person's personality change after bankruptcy...?"

In the apartment.

"...Boss, are you sure you don't need me to book the hotel and flights?" After reporting everything, assistant Qin Feng couldn't help but ask again. It was already 1 p.m., and time was running out. As a Virgo who aspired to be the top assistant in the country, he felt like something was still unfinished, and he felt restless and uneasy.

Tang Yue raised his eyelids slightly and nodded calmly.

For a moment, only the "click-clack" sound of typing remained.

Qin Feng was involuntarily drawn to the hands on the computer keyboard; they were long, beautiful, and had distinct knuckles, appearing almost excessively white in the warm sunlight streaming through the window.

My gaze shifted from his hand to his face. He had a straight nose and exceptionally handsome features. His head was tilted to the side, and his eyelashes were extremely long and curled. So when his narrow, almond-shaped eyes glanced at me, his usually gentle features became captivating, as if they were barbed, as if they could hook a person's heart out.

Qin Feng thought to himself: The boss's looks are enough to outshine a whole host of male stars, both domestic and international.

His phone vibrated suddenly in his left hand, pulling him back to reality. He glanced at the message and his expression changed slightly: "Boss, Orange Music is asking what we should do now?"

Tang Yue paused, narrowed his eyes, and succinctly uttered four words: "Handle it impartially."

Qin Feng responded and relayed the boss's message verbatim to the person in charge of Orange Music. He really knows how to flatter the boss so much he's practically biting off more than he can chew; he's got some serious talent!

Soon, a crying emoji returned the call, followed immediately by a phone call. He answered while walking outside, and as soon as the call connected, the other party launched into a frantic, tearful plea: "Assistant Qin, you have to save me! I originally agreed to cooperate with the Jiangda e-sports club because the boss is a graduate of Jiangda, but I never expected them to do such illegal things on the live streaming platform. Now the money's been poured in, and the technical staff are halfway through development... I'm not going to have to bear the losses..."

The sound was somewhat shrill and piercing. Qin Feng, with a bitter expression, moved the phone further away, turned the doorknob, and opened the door.

Outside the door, Yu Wan was just about to enter her password.

Their eyes met.

Qin Feng's body tensed instantly, as if struck by lightning. A multitude of thoughts flashed through his mind. Oh no, what if he got caught? Will his boss fire him for negligence?

In the brief silence, the roar from the other end of the phone continued: "No way, we have to get this huge sum of money back..."
