Chapter 22 Secret



As the biggest owner of 'Spirit Tales', Su Wan was pushed out of the package selection due to the reluctance of Gu Chu and Wu Yanran.

Su Wan found a package deal that she liked; the original price of a medium-sized private room was 1,000 yuan, but after a 20% discount, it was 888 yuan.

Just then, her phone rang. Seeing that it was Shen Baiyan calling, Su Wan answered the call.

Today marks the 15th day since she started repaying her debt with her body. After today, the debt of 1.5 million will be paid off. However, she is puzzled as to why her life index has not increased at all during this period.

Could it be because she wasn't cooperative enough?

That's what she thought too. Because of the 1.5 million debt, every time she and Shen Baiyan were intimate, all she could think about was how much less debt they would have after today, and she didn't put her mind on Shen Baiyan at all.

Shen Baiyan found it strange that he had been very gentle with her recently, unlike before when he only cared about satisfying his lust and didn't care about her life or death.

She answered the phone: "Don't worry, I'll be back later so it won't interfere with your marksmanship practice."

Shen Baiyan was speechless for a moment, and inexplicably felt annoyed that he had said those things to her before.

That day, Su Wan handed him the receipt for the family planning supplies she had bought, saying, "Remember to get reimbursed."

He refused, saying, "The size is wrong and it doesn't meet the reimbursement standards."

Su Wan was furious and complained to him while he was doing it: "I can't believe that the dignified CEO is so technically incompetent."

Shen Baiyan almost gave up because of this sentence. He gritted his teeth and questioned the person under him: "Why is it not up to standard? Is it in terms of time or form?"

Su Wan didn't give Shen Baiyan any face and said truthfully, "Real good skills are not like this. You still need to practice. Only when I beg for mercy will your skills be considered up to par."

From then on, Shen Baiyan would leave work early every day to waste her time, and Su Wan always regretted her outspokenness.

Pulling himself out of his thoughts, Shen Baiyan asked calmly, "I'm at your shop entrance. Where are you?"

Would you believe me if I said I'm in the underworld?

Su Wan hung up the phone and looked up at the KTV name, which was glowing white on the lobby wall: "Di Fu".

Shen Baiyan's lips twitched as he looked at the phone that the woman had arrogantly hung up on.

Suddenly, the phone screen lit up again after the call was disconnected.

...

Seeing Su Wan finish her call, Wu Yanran rushed over and put her arm around her shoulder, her eyes full of teasing: "Is that heavy man urging you to go home again?"

"Okay, let's ignore him and go inside!"

The three were led into a private room by a friendly waiter, and soon all the dishes in the set meal were served.

The set meal includes a small amount of snacks such as sunflower seeds and peanuts, a case of beer, and a fruit platter.

Su Wan felt a pang of heartache looking at the 1,000 yuan set meal on the table. Sure enough, the words "pictures are for reference only" were no joke. The seller's photos were just a marketing ploy; the actual food was shown in the buyer's photos.

Taking advantage of the tragic scene before her, Su Wan directly requested the song "Money".

Suddenly, sad music filled the private room.

Su Wan picked up the microphone and spoke with heartbreaking sorrow:

Who created money, that makes you so powerful in the world? Some sell their children for you, some go to jail for you; each banknote is a pair of shackles, everyone needs you, money, you are a knife that kills without drawing blood…

Hearing Su Wan's mournful singing, Gu Chu looked around the dimly lit private room and whispered to Wu Yanran, who was fiddling with her phone, "Why do I feel like this song is giving me the creeps?"

"It's not the song that's scary, it's the decorations in this private room. Don't you think that thing looks familiar?"

Gu Chu looked in the direction Wu Yanran was pointing; it was a black and white painting framed in glass.

Gu Chu seemed to be thinking: "Hmm, they look familiar, but I can't remember where I've seen them before."

Wu Yanran then pointed to the doorway: "Then take another look at that handicraft. If you changed its color, what would it look like?"

Gu Chu looked in the direction Wu Yanran was pointing again, and saw a colorful wreath placed at the entrance of the private room.

The image of a funeral scene immediately flashed through Gu Chu's mind, and she instantly understood why she felt afraid.

Suddenly, the door to the private room was pushed open.

"Ahhhhhh!!!!" Gu Chu screamed in shock.

Su Wan was so startled by Gu Chu's scream that her voice cracked, and she managed to yell out the words "Someone is laughing for you," which immediately startled the two people in the private room, causing them to huddle together.

With a "click," the man indifferently turned on the light.

The lights in the private room instantly illuminated, and the eerie atmosphere immediately dissipated.

Wu Yanran stared blankly at the man at the door: "Brother...?"

"Brother Wu?" Su Wan asked in surprise.

The person who came was Wu Yan, the son of Wu Yanran's adoptive parents and also her nominal brother.

Wu Yan's gaze lingered on Gu Chu for a few seconds before he walked up to Wu Yanran and stood there. After looking at her for a moment, he finally spoke, "Have you finished playing? Shouldn't you go home?"

"Brother, how did you know..." Wu Yanran suddenly remembered something and abruptly looked down to open the WeChat group on her phone.

"Xue Fei? Damn! I forgot to kick him out of the 'handsome men' group!"

Wu Yan raised her hand and gently tapped Wu Yanran's forehead: "How many times have I told you, girls are not allowed to swear?"

Seeing this, Su Wan quickly pulled the bewildered Gu Chu and ran out of the private room.

The two stopped when they reached the public restroom.

"Wanwan, who was that person just now? You guys seemed really afraid of him?" Gu Chu asked, puzzled.

Su Wan explained, "It's not fear, it's awe. He is the son of Ranran's adoptive parents and currently works at a private hospital. He is only 27 years old and is already a director at such a young age."

Gu Chu was still puzzled: "That's amazing! But what does that have to do with you seeing him run away?"
