Chapter 509: Cooperate with me, you won’t suffer any loss
The timing of tonight's car chase was perfect.
He hasn't yet found out who did it.
But I already have a suspicion in my mind...
Although he had previously sent his confidants to investigate the whereabouts of Li Beiting and the Jiang family, the results showed that they were still in the country, especially the Jiang family had expanded their search for Jiang Yao's whereabouts.
But he still suspected that Li Beiting might have known something!
Thinking of this possibility, his eyes turned thick and dark like ink.
Just then, the cell phone rang suddenly.
Being in such a quiet environment at night was a challenge to his nerves.
Looking at the strange caller above, his brows furrowed slightly.
"Hello, Mr. Lu!" The voice on the other end was processed through a voice changer, but it could still be vaguely distinguished as a man's voice.
Lu Zhengze's tone turned cold, "Who are you?"
"It doesn't matter who I am. What matters is that I know the difficulties and choices Mr. Lu is facing now, and I can help you." The other party's words sounded meaningful.
Lu Zhengze's eyelids twitched. "What I hate most in my life is people who play tricks on me. I have nothing to say to you."
After saying that, he was about to hang up the phone.
"Don't you want Jiang Yao to forget the past forever and fall deeply in love with you, and belong only to you?"
The other party's casual words made Lu Zhengze freeze instantly.
His pupils shrank slightly. "Who are you? Why do you know about Jiang Yao? What do you want to do?"
"Of course I want to help you achieve your wish. As for who I am, as long as we reach a cooperation, you will know my identity sooner or later."
"I don't believe there is a free lunch in this world. Since you know so much about my affairs, what do you want from me?" Lu Zhengze is a businessman and naturally understands this truth.
The other party chuckled. "Talking to smart people is so easy! Well, since you insist on seeking an answer, I also have a request. I want the experimental project that your Lu Group is currently researching. In exchange, I guarantee that I can make Jiang Yao completely devoted to you."
"You must be joking!" Lu Zhengze's expression suddenly turned cold. "That's a project our company has been researching for nearly ten years. You're just dreaming."
"Why, in your heart, a ten-year project isn't worth more than Jiang Yao?" The other party's tone was somewhat disappointed. "It seems I overestimated your feelings. If that's the case, then there's no need to discuss cooperation!"
At this point, he changed the subject, "However, I can tell you a piece of news. Li Beiting has already arrived in Country N, and what you are worried about may happen at any time.
You want to hide Jiang Yao for your whole life, but there is no impenetrable wall in this world. As long as they meet and interact with each other, she will sooner or later remember the past, and then you will be left with nothing. How pitiful!
Lu Zhengze's breath hitched.
The sword hanging over my heart finally fell and pierced my heart.
He no longer has any hope of luck.
"Wait—" Lu Zhengze, having clearly sensed the other party's intentions, still bit the hook. "First, tell me clearly how you can help me! Also, what's your name? I can't communicate with someone I know nothing about!"
The other person laughed twice and said, "You can call me Mr. K. If you cooperate with us, you will not suffer any loss."
"Mr. K?"
Lu Zhengze's eyelids twitched, as if he suddenly remembered something. "Could it be that you are the boss of the K organization?"
Mr. K did not refute, "Now, are you willing to have a good talk with me?"
"Tell me first."
…
The next day, Jiang Yao woke up feeling energetic and went to the restaurant to have breakfast with Lu Zhengze.
But I found that he looked more haggard than usual, with red bloodshot in the whites of his eyes, as if he had not had a good rest.
"Aze, did you not sleep well last night?" Jiang Yao asked worriedly.
Lu Zhengze explained, "I just had to deal with some domestic business overnight. It's okay, just catch up on some sleep during the day. As for you, don't overwork yourself."
His attitude remained the same as always, and he showed the same concern for her.
Jiang Yao pursed his lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Aze, if you...if your company in China is busy, you might as well go back and deal with it first! There's a difference of several hours between China and abroad, which can easily affect your work and rest health."
Lu Zhengze suddenly looked up after hearing this, a hint of hurt flashing in his eyes. "You want to kick me out? Do you really hate being with me?"
Is it only in front of Li Beiting that you will reveal your true feelings?
He wanted to ask this question, but at the last moment he forced himself to suppress it.
Jiang Yao was somewhat helpless and explained, "Why do you think so? I'm worried about your health. You just had heart surgery not long ago, so you shouldn't be overworked. I'm thinking about you!"
Lu Zhengze never expected that when he pretended to be sick in order to trick Jiang Yao into going abroad, he would end up shooting himself in the foot.
He took a deep breath, suppressed the mixed emotions in his heart, and whispered, "If you really want to do good for me, don't say anything like asking me to return home."
After saying that, he stood up and left.
Jiang Yao didn't know what to do for a moment.
In fact, she didn't hate Lu Zhengze, and often treated him like a family member.
But I just can't be moved.
In just half a month, she has faced the reality.
That's why I thought that if I could make him understand my thoughts, separating early would be the best option.
Although this is very unfair to Lu Zhengze.
But love is not based on gratitude, but on affection and fate.
And the most important point.
She didn't want to find out the truth that Lu Zhengze had deceived her one day.
How should we face it then?
In the morning, Jiang Yao went to the company. The partner he was going to meet today was the CEO of the Ovis family.
She was waiting in the reception room early in the morning.
Not long after, the door was pushed open and a middle-aged man came in.
Jiang Yao stood up and was about to greet him.
The other party looked surprised and blurted out: "Jiang Yao?"
Jiang Yao's eyelids twitched, and he looked carefully at the man opposite him. He was about forty years old, but his eyes looked shrewd and calculating.
"Are you calling me?"
This was the third person to call her by this name.
"What?" Lin Jing didn't understand what was going on. "Are you pretending not to know me?"
Since his last attempt to secretly acquire Jiang’s shares failed, the Ovis Group suffered a heavy blow.
Several major projects failed within the year and the company has been in a state of loss. If it were not for its strong foundation, it might have gone bankrupt.
He hated Jiang Yao in his heart, but he could do nothing about it.
But I didn't expect to see her here.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lin. I hit my head a while ago and lost some of my memory. If we knew each other before, I'm sorry, but my name is Lu Yao now."
