Chapter 321 Disgusting Business Warfare
"What tricks are you going to play now?" Meng Chenghong stared at Lu Qingcheng vigilantly. He had not forgotten that not long ago Lu Qingcheng had resorted to trickery to ruin his second sister's reputation!
Lu Qingcheng understood that she had no credibility in the eyes of the Meng family, and they would not believe anything she said.
"Tell me about it." Unexpectedly, Meng Anran said this calmly, as if she had no prejudice or hatred towards her.
Lu Qingcheng was surprised for a second, then she came to her senses and quickly took out her phone, flipped through the message, and handed it to Meng Anran: "I just received this."
Meng Anran glanced at the text message and asked, "Where's the medicine?"
"Here." Lu Qingcheng put the pills on the table.
Meng Anran glanced at the white pill, then wrote a check for one million and handed it to Lu Qingcheng, "Take it."
Lu Qingcheng was shocked: "I don't want money."
"No matter what you want, if someone paid you one million to drug me, I should pay you one million to buy this information." Meng Anran was too calm to be a normal person. "This is an equal transaction."
Lu Qingcheng pursed her lips, took the check tremblingly, and said in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Don't you hate me?"
"You're not worth my wasting my feelings." Meng Anran said lightly, and then added: "I'll show you a way out. Go to night school and get a diploma. It's better than being a waitress here forever."
Lu Qingcheng bit her back teeth and whispered, "Thank you."
She walked out of the box holding the teapot and went to the rooftop to get some fresh air.
Looking at the lights of thousands of homes outside, she felt for the first time that perhaps some warmth was destined to have nothing to do with her.
In the box, Meng Chenghong was still puzzled by his second sister's behavior.
"Second sister, she treated you like this before, why did you still help her?"
Meng Anran put the white pills into her wallet, turned to look at her puzzled brother, and tapped the table with her fingertips: "Do you know why Lu Qingcheng chose to hand over the pills?"
Meng Chenghong frowned: "Because she has a change of heart?"
"Because during her time struggling at the bottom of society, she truly witnessed the dangers of society and finally understood a truth." Meng Anran picked up the teacup, "The least valuable thing in this world is hatred. The most precious thing is—"
"The opportunity to choose." Meng Yushu suddenly spoke up, looking at his sister gently, "That's why you never waste your emotions hating anyone."
Meng Anran curled her red lips: "Correct."
Meng Chenghong frowned, looking puzzled. "But, isn't being kind to your enemy cruel to yourself? She hurt you before, and you're still helping her. Isn't that a bit of a saint?"
"I didn't help her." Meng Anran took a sip of hot tea and gently put down the cup. "As I said just now, this is a reciprocal transaction. Someone paid her to harm me, so I have to pay to keep myself safe. If I don't give her the money, then I'm owed a favor."
Meng Chenghong scratched his head, still not quite understanding: "But she framed you so many times before, she should compensate you."
"Let's put things in perspective," Meng Yushu continued, gently teaching her brother this lesson: "What if Lu Qingcheng uses this as a threat in the future in exchange for benefits many times greater than one million? Your second sister doesn't want anyone to hold her accountable, especially someone she's had a grudge against."
After hearing this, Meng Chenghong understood everything. He looked at Meng Anran with sudden enlightenment, his eyes full of admiration: "Second sister, you think so far ahead!"
"The ways of the world aren't learned; they're acquired through experience and instruction." Meng Anran took a sip of tea and lowered her eyes to conceal a flash of bitterness. "You're only in junior high school. You'll slowly understand as you grow up."
After dinner, the Meng family was still chatting, and Meng Anran went to the office to check the accounts first.
"Show me today's surveillance footage." Meng Anran flipped through the account book in his hand and spoke suddenly.
The manager was stunned for a moment, and the finance officer next to him was sweating profusely. "Boss An, is there something wrong with this account?"
"No." Meng Anran closed the account book, looked up at the two people standing uncomfortably in front of him, and smiled: "I just want to check the surveillance. Please turn on the surveillance around my box tonight."
"Oh, okay!" The manager breathed a sigh of relief and hurried to do it.
While waiting for the surveillance video to be sent back, Meng Anran received a call from Zhang Tao.
"Boss, I found out. The sender's IP address is located in Room 3802 of Yandu Hotel."
Meng Anran's eyes glared. "You're so bold! You're messing with me on my own turf. Contact Chen Jing and get the client's check-in information."
"I understand." Zhang Tao paused and continued, "There's one more thing. The drone that delivered the medicine crashed on a mountaintop in the suburbs, but we were able to retrieve the chip inside and track it back to a village."
Meng Anran raised her eyebrows slightly, pulled her cheeks and put on an interested smile: "Tell me about it."
"It's in Langzhou, a very remote mountain village. I can't find a more specific address."
"Send me the village address."
"OK."
The call was disconnected, and Meng Anran forwarded the address Zhang Tao sent to Zhao Ming, adding a sentence: [New clue, maybe there will be a surprise.]
As Zhao Ming read the text message, his colleague in charge of tracking the pharmaceutical den suddenly raised his voice and shouted, "Found it! Captain Zhao, we've tracked down the criminal organization's den!"
Zhao Ming's eyes lit up and he walked over quickly.
The address displayed on the screen is exactly the same as the one Meng Anran just sent!
It seems that this village really hides a lot of secrets!
He checked the time and made a quick decision: "Let's go immediately. While the night is still and the suspect's attention is off, let's raid!"
"yes!"
Meng Anran also received the room check-in registration sent by Chen Jing. The person staying in Room 3802 of Yandu Hotel was a foreign businessman, who had checked out an hour ago.
Staring at the resident information above, Meng Anran seemed to have thought of something. Suddenly, he sneered contemptuously and muttered, "What a disgusting business war tactic."
She picked up her phone, looked through the address book, found a number she hadn't contacted for a long time, and dialed it.
The moment the call was connected, she smiled and said hello, "Mr. William, I received your gift. After the New Year holiday, I will return the favor with a big gift. Stay tuned."
