"Um."
Engineer Liu was indeed a bit excited just now, he said to Liu Shuang while sitting on the sofa.
"Our inside man told me this morning that he did go, but Zhang Tenglong's bribed men also went there. He said the other side didn't see him, but saw him looking for something?"
“Our people know that the photo is located far away, and the other party shows no sign of leaving.”
“Our men took a risk and lit a book on fire with a lighter, then threw it onto the bookshelf over there. At first, the other side didn’t notice the fire, but our men were certain that the box containing the photos had turned to ashes and made a noise.”
"Some of Zhang Tenglong's men from nearby rooms quickly ran out and started arresting the people sent by Zhang Tenglong. Hearing the noise, Zhang Tenglong's man panicked, but seeing the burning bookshelf next to him, he continued searching and showed no intention of leaving."
"If he leaves, he will definitely not be caught. Our men, looking at the others around, can only work together to take him down."
Liu Shuang recounted everything that had happened the previous night.
"I was so scared! When I went in, I thought the person kneeling on the ground with blood all over their face was one of ours. I only breathed a sigh of relief when you gave me that reassuring look."
Liu Shang recalled the moment he went in, still feeling lingering fear.
"Third brother, you just mentioned that Zhang Tenglong sent people there, and they were caught by Gu Hai. So the reason we called you over this morning was to investigate who did it, right?"
After hearing what Liu Shuang had said, Engineer Liu understood and continued to ask questions.
"Second brother, calm down. After that person was caught, he was severely tortured and interrogated all night before he finally confessed. He said he wanted to call everyone over so he could identify them on the spot, so we were all there this morning. That's why I didn't have a chance to let you know I was safe."
Seeing that her second brother was getting more and more excited, Liu Shuang recounted what had happened that morning.
However, Zhang Tenglong eventually concealed the fact that he had been given vinegar, fearing that his second brother would find out.
Knowing his second brother's temperament, he would definitely avenge Zhang Tenglong.
"How's Zhang Tenglong doing?"
Although Engineer Liu did not have the intelligence of his third brother, nor the strategic acumen of his eldest brother.
But he wasn't stupid; he realized that Liu Shuang hadn't told the whole story, since the arrested person was already going to identify him.
Given Gu Hai's character, he certainly wouldn't let Zhang Tenglong off the hook.
"This, this."
Liu Shuang's eyes started to look at Liu Shang, hesitating and unsure whether to speak or not.
"Your second brother will find out sooner or later, so tell him!"
Liu Shang also understood that everyone already knew about this, so there was no point in the two of them keeping it a secret now.
In the end, we'll find out anyway.
"Zhang Tenglong, Brother Long was kicked first, then covered his nose and mouth with a strip of cloth. Gu Hai had people pour vinegar on it, and they poured in two large boxes of aged vinegar. Brother Long looks like he's about to die."
Liu Shuang told Engineer Liu about the state of Zhang Tenglong that he saw before he left.
"Damn it, I'm going to kill that bastard Gu Hai!"
Engineer Liu was shocked to see his former mentor in such a state. Although he hadn't witnessed it firsthand, he could guess the gist of it from Liu Shuang's description. He then stormed outside.
Before Liu could even stand up, Liu Shang pressed him down onto the sofa.
What do you want to do?
Liu Shang stared at Liu Gong, whose eyes were blinded by anger, and asked coldly.
"How could Gu Hai treat Brother Long like this? You should know how much Brother Long has helped me. How can I stand by and do nothing when he's being humiliated like this!"
With tears in his eyes, Engineer Liu shouted to Liu Shang.
"What can you do if you go? Get beaten up along with Zhang Tenglong? Gu Hai won't dare to kill Zhang Tenglong. Once our time is right, I don't care how you deal with Gu Hai!"
Liu Shang angrily glared at Liu Gong and shouted.
"But!"
Frustrated, Liu pounded the sofa with his fist, pushed Liu Shang aside, and hid inside the room, locking the door from the inside.
Seeing that Engineer Liu had locked himself in the room, Liu Shang also stood up.
"I really didn't expect that Zhang Tenglong would help us get things done by some unexpected twist of fate."
Liu Shang got up and went outside, and Liu Shuang followed him out. Liu Shang said to Liu Shuang behind him.
“Indeed, we haven’t lost anything this way, and we’ve also given an explanation to the Zhou sisters.”
Liu Shuang nodded and said.
"Sis, it's already past eleven o'clock. I wonder if Liu Shang has finished working on it yet."
Zhou Ruan stood at the window of Zhou Wen's office, anxiously waiting in the spot where Liu Shang often sat across the street.
"It's okay, even if he doesn't finish, we don't need to worry."
Zhou Wen took a sip of coffee and continued working on the documents on the computer, speaking to Zhou Ruan without any hurry.
"Sis, if he doesn't succeed, then you must..."
Seeing that her sister didn't seem worried at all, Zhou Ruan said, puzzled.
“If Gu Hai still wants to pressure me, I’ll just keep dragging it out. As long as I don’t completely agree, I don’t think he’ll dare to do anything to us. Besides, we already know about Liu Shang’s underhanded tactics. It’s not impossible for me to make this a deal with Gu Hai.”
Since Zhou Wen wouldn't sacrifice herself, she could only let Liu Shang take the bullet for her, and a hint of ruthlessness appeared in her eyes.
"Sis, didn't you already have two plans from the beginning? You haven't called Lu Fan as agreed and asked him to come over yet."
After hearing her sister's words, Zhou Ruan suddenly felt that Zhou Wen had become a complete stranger.
I never imagined that no matter whether my sister succeeds or not, they could all get out of this quagmire.
“That’s right. Once he succeeds, I’ll have enough time to call Lu Fan. If he doesn’t succeed, then we can’t be blamed. We can only deal with Gu Hai with peace of mind if we protect ourselves first.”
Zhou Wen nodded without denying it, remaining firm in her decision.
"I hope Liu Shang succeeds."
Zhou Ruan knew that this was the only way to handle the matter, and she couldn't help but start praying for Liu Shang in her heart.
After all, Zhou Ruan had already caused Liu Shang to be whipped ten times. If he were to destroy Liu Shang's long-term plan again because of him, he would not be able to live with himself. He could only hope for success in his heart.
Ring ring ring—
"Sis, it's Liu Shanglai on the phone!"
Zhou Ruan looked at the number displayed on her phone, then looked up at Zhou Wen, wondering what to do.
"Go ahead and accept the offer. If it works out, have him meet at the coffee shop in about ten minutes. If it doesn't work out, still have him come over."
Zhou Wen thought that if it succeeded, she would stick to the original plan.
But if that didn't work, she thought about it for a moment and decided to send Liu Shang over anyway.
