Chapter 155 A Cunning Plan: Luring the Enemy into a Trap
In the cultural troupe's dormitory.
Liu Ran was practicing dance moves in front of the mirror, but her face was full of jealousy and resentment.
The door was pushed open, and Zhang Sisi walked in, humming a song as she walked in, wearing little leather shoes.
She was carrying a net bag containing two cans of oranges.
"Oh, still practicing?"
Zhang Sisi put the canned food on the table, her tone full of undisguised pride, "She's really diligent."
Liu Ran rolled her eyes at her, annoyed: "You're not as good as Miss Zhang, who can ruin people with just a few words."
What are you saying?
Zhang Sisi pretended to be surprised and covered her mouth.
"The accident at Su Yue's factory has nothing to do with me. It's because her technology was inadequate that she produced a toxic ointment. She's stopped production now and I heard she has to pay a lot of money in compensation."
She walked up to Liu Ran, lowered her voice, and spoke with a hint of boastfulness.
"See? This is what happens when she offends me. If I, Zhang Sisi, want her dead, she won't live to see the dawn. Why do you think Gu Beixiao treats me differently? Because he knows who can help him."
Liu Ran clenched his fists, and his reflection in the mirror showed a grim face.
Seeing her jealous expression, Zhang Sisi felt extremely pleased and turned to leave with a smile.
She thought she had it all figured out.
Unbeknownst to her, an even larger net had already been quietly cast.
In Su Yue's small courtyard.
"Sister-in-law, the news has been released."
Gu Beixiao ran in excitedly.
“I found a few of the most gossipy people and told them that you are in a terrible predicament and are planning to sell the formula for the factory’s most valuable product, the ‘dampness-removing and blood-activating patch,’ to pay compensation to the military region.”
Su Yue was lying on a rattan chair, leisurely drinking the pregnancy-stabilizing soup that Gu Beichen had prepared for her.
Upon hearing this, she slowly put down her bowl and said, "Very good."
"I have contacted the original tape supplier and asked them to expedite production. It will be delivered in three days."
Chief Engineer He also walked in, his face full of admiration. "Factory Director, your 'feigned indifference to lure the snake out' tactic is truly brilliant!"
“That’s not enough.” Su Yue shook her head. “We need to make them believe that we’re truly at our wits’ end.”
"I'll do it!"
Chu Jingya came out of the house, holding a piece of paper in her hand.
"I asked a friend at the hospital to forge a report. It said that a large batch of raw materials in our pharmaceutical factory's inventory was about to expire and be scrapped because the warehouse was leaking and damp."
She handed the report to Gu Beixiao, and the two exchanged a glance, both seeing the excitement of meeting a worthy opponent in each other's eyes.
Gu Beixiao took the report and whistled, "You're quite talented, Miss Chu, at this kind of thing."
Chu Jingya snorted: "It's still better than some troublemakers who only know how to fight."
Who are you talking about!
"Who should be speaking?"
Seeing that the two were about to start arguing again, Su Yue rubbed her temples, feeling a headache coming on.
"Alright, stop arguing. Bei Xiao, take this report now and pretend to be a mole who is dissatisfied because the pharmaceutical factory is about to go bankrupt and wants to steal and sell the formula for money. Go find that 'Brother Zhang'."
"Alright!" Gu Beixiao immediately perked up. "Just you wait and see, sister-in-law! I'm a professional at acting!"
He took the report and walked away with a triumphant air.
Chu Jingya watched his retreating figure, the corners of her mouth unconsciously curving upwards, but she quickly straightened her face again.
"Brother Zhang" quickly received word of the situation.
When Gu Beixiao, the "mole," came to his door with the "raw material report that was about to expire," he immediately believed it to be 70-80%.
Greed is the best catalyst.
"Brother Zhang" immediately told Zhang Sisi the news.
"Miss! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
He was so excited that his face turned bright red.
"That little bitch Su Yue is definitely not going to last! We just need to spend a little money to get our hands on her formula, and from now on, Hainan Island will be ours!"
Zhang Sisi was deeply moved by his words.
She fantasized about owning the formula, opening a larger pharmaceutical factory, crushing Su Yue under her feet, and making Gu Beixiao look at her with new respect.
"Damn it!" she declared through gritted teeth. "Raise the money! No matter what, we have to get the formula!"
The transaction was to take place in an inconspicuous teahouse in town.
3 PM.
Zhang Sisi and "Brother Zhang" arrived ahead of time, carrying a suitcase full of cash.
The two ordered a private room, waiting with unwavering determination.
Soon, Gu Beixiao pushed open the door and walked in.
He changed into old clothes, his face showing resentment and greed, looking exactly like a petty person who would betray his principles for personal gain.
"Did you bring the money?" Gu Beixiao asked bluntly.
"Brother Zhang" patted the leather suitcase beside his feet and chuckled, "Where's the stuff?"
Gu Beixiao took out a small package wrapped tightly in oil paper from his pocket and threw it on the table.
"Cash on delivery."
"Brother Zhang" eagerly opened the oil paper package, inside which was a piece of paper covered with dense text and chemical formulas.
Although he couldn't understand it, the professional demeanor made him even more convinced that it was genuine.
"Great! Great!" He rubbed his hands excitedly and was about to push the suitcase over.
Just then!
"Bang!"
The door to the private room was kicked open from the outside!
Amidst the flying sawdust, an angry figure rushed in!
The person who arrived was neither Su Yue nor Gu Beichen, nor anyone they had arranged!
It's Liu Ran!
Her eyes were bloodshot as she glared at the three people in the room. Finally, her gaze settled on Zhang Sisi, and her eyes seemed to want to devour her alive!
"Zhang Sisi, you bitch!"
Liu Ran's screams nearly lifted the roof off the teahouse.
"You've been flirting with Brother Bei Xiao behind my back again!"
This roar stunned everyone present.
Zhang Sisi was stunned.
"Brother Zhang" was dumbfounded.
Even Gu Beixiao, who was prepared to watch the show, was stunned.
broken!
A meticulously planned arrest operation was about to be ruined by this incompetent and foolish woman!
"Zhang Sisi, you bitch!"
Liu Ran's scream was like an awl, piercing the false tranquility of the teahouse private room.
She was like an enraged mother leopard, pouncing on Zhang Sisi who was still sitting in the chair without any regard for anything else.
"You're insane!"
Zhang Sisi screamed instinctively, trying to dodge, but it was too late.
Liu Ran's fingernails scratched her face, and the two of them instantly started fighting.
"You've been flirting with Brother Bei Xiao behind my back again! I'm going to tear that vixen's face off today!"
"Let go of him! You crazy woman! Who seduced him? He came to me himself!"
The excruciating pain of having her hair pulled spurred Zhang Sisi into a rage, and she opened her mouth to bite Liu Ran's arm.
In an instant, the private room was filled with women's screams, curses, and the sounds of clothes being torn.
"Brother Zhang" was completely dumbfounded.
What's going on?
Weren't they here to make a deal? How did it turn into a fight between women?
He glanced at Gu Beixiao, who was equally stunned, and only one thought came to his mind: Run!
Taking advantage of everyone's attention being focused on the two crazy women, he grabbed the oil paper package containing the formula from the table, turned around, and rushed towards the door.
