"Hello?"
Zhou Ruan didn't ask directly, but was thinking: What if it's Gu Hai's people over there?
When Liu Shang's scheme was exposed, he began investigating the unknown phone numbers on his phone, and Zhou Ruan became suspicious.
Zhou Wen nodded in satisfaction at Zhou Ruan's actions; she hadn't even thought of that herself.
"Haha. Looks like you're quite guarded. Don't you have a nickname for me in your phone?"
Hearing Zhou Ruan's cautious tone, Liu Shang burst out laughing and asked.
"Didn't save it! How did it go?"
Hearing the mocking laughter from the other side, Zhou Ruan asked Liu Shang in an annoyed tone.
"The fact that I can joke with you here now means I've succeeded. Although there was a little hiccup, the result is good."
Liu Shang laughed as he listened to Zhou Ruan's angry voice from the other side.
"What's going on?"
Upon hearing that something had happened, Zhou Ruan looked at her sister and asked anxiously on the other end of the phone.
"Don't worry, your photo is no longer in Gu Hai's hands, you can rest assured about that."
Hearing Zhou Ruan's anxious voice on the other end of the phone, Liu Shang calmly continued.
"That's good!"
Hearing that the photos were no longer with Gu Hai, Zhou Ruan breathed a sigh of relief.
"By the way, did you keep your promise to me?"
Hearing Zhou Ruan's relieved expression on the other end of the phone, Liu Shang also remembered that they had a cooperative relationship.
They accomplished their goal, but Zhou Ruan didn't mention it at all.
“It’s done. See you at the coffee shop in twenty minutes. This time we’ll open the back door for you; you can come in through the back door.”
Zhou Ruan first looked at Zhou Wen's expression, and seeing that Zhou Wen had already nodded, she smiled and spoke to the person on the other end of the phone.
The last sentence was a serious instruction.
"It's okay, I'll just go through the front door!"
Liu Shang, after listening to Zhou Ruan's rambling and her suggestion to use connections, interrupted her, stated his own thoughts, and hung up the phone.
"Hey, what a jerk!"
Before Zhou Ruan could finish speaking, she heard the other end say "Go through the front door" and immediately hung up the phone. She cursed as she looked at the now-black screen.
"Alright, Zhou Ruan, what did Liu Shang say?"
Seeing her younger sister swearing into the phone, Zhou Wen helplessly rubbed her forehead and asked her what was wrong.
"Oh, he said it's done, the photos are no longer in Gu Hai's hands, and he even asked how things are going on our side?"
When Zhou Wen told her to stop, Zhou Ruan realized that she had been a bit out of line.
I apologized and repeated what I had just said on the phone.
"Now that we have succeeded, we should fulfill our promise."
Hearing that the matter was resolved, the mountain that had been weighing on Zhou Wen's chest for the past year finally shattered.
It also made her breathe more easily than she had in a long time.
"Hello, is this Mr. Lu?"
"Yes, I am Zhou Wen."
"Oh, I need to talk to you about something today. Could you come to Rella Coffee Shop?"
"This matter is very important, let's come inside the store to discuss it face to face."
"Okay, see you there later."
Beep beep beep—
"Sister, is Lu Fan coming?"
Zhou Ruan leaned closer and asked curiously.
“Come here, but I didn’t tell him anything.”
When Zhou Wen made the phone call just now, she deliberately didn't say what she was going to do, just in case she revealed it and Lu Fan didn't come.
"If you don't tell him about this, what will Liu Shang and the others talk about when they come over later?"
Zhou Ruan didn't understand why Zhou Wen didn't explain things clearly over the phone, and why they had to come to the store to talk about it.
"We only promised Liu Shang that we would bring Lu Fan over to meet him, but we didn't promise that Lu Fan would definitely cooperate with him. Besides, why are you speaking so favorably of Liu Shang? Aren't you taking sides with him?"
Zhou Wen spoke her mind, but the more she looked at her younger sister, the stranger she felt.
Ever since she met Liu Shang, she has started to contradict herself and speak in Liu Shang's favor.
Zhou Wen looked at Zhou Ruan with a suspicious gaze and asked.
"No, we cannot break our promise!"
Zhou Ruan, hands on her hips, lectured Zhou Wen.
"The workplace is about survival of the fittest. If we don't break our promises, our allies might get there first, and then we'll be completely passive."
Looking at her innocent younger sister, Zhou Wen shook her head and said.
"So you're saying there are no good people?"
Hearing Zhou Wen say that no one was a good person, Zhou Ruan asked in disbelief.
"I don't know if there are any good people, but this Liu Shang is no ordinary person. To be able to work under Gu Hai, they're not as simple as they are in the workplace. Do you believe him if I say he's a good person?"
Zhou Wen looked at Zhou Ruan, who still didn't believe her, and continued.
"snort."
Zhou Ruan found Zhou Wen's words to be somewhat reasonable, but she still didn't want to agree and continued to look out the window.
"Should I go there?"
Lu Fan was reviewing documents in his office when he suddenly received a call from Zhou Wen, who had something to discuss. After hanging up, he stared thoughtfully at the now-blacked-out phone screen.
"Could it be that Gu Hai couldn't handle things on his end and came to me for help?"
Lu Fan slapped his forehead, only then remembering that when he went there yesterday...
I told Zhou Wen to contact me if she needed anything, I didn't expect it to happen so quickly.
Although I had some doubts and wasn't sure if it was something I had guessed, I thought about it again and decided to go and see for myself.
I glanced at the time on my watch, but there were still a few minutes before I had to leave work, so I started working again.
"Third brother, come with me later and give me your advice on what we should do next."
Liu Shang's goals were a bit unclear at the moment, so he turned to look at Liu Shuang, whose strategies were superior to his own, and said.
"Don't worry, big brother, but I'm afraid of second brother?"
There's no problem with Liu Shuang going with Liu Shang, she said, turning her head to look at the room where Engineer Liu was and asking.
"If he can't even control this, then he's really not up to any great task."
Liu Shang deliberately raised his voice so that Engineer Liu, who was hiding in the room, could hear him.
While lying in bed, Engineer Liu heard Liu Shang's words, so he wrapped himself up in the blanket.
"Will this really work?"
Looking at the room where Engineer Liu was, Liu Shuang still felt a little uneasy and said to Liu Shang.
"Nonsense, of course not. Lock the door later."
Liu Shang wasn't entirely confident in Liu Gong's abilities, so he gave instructions to Liu Shuang behind him as he walked out.
Liu Shuang nodded in agreement with Liu Shang's suggestion and locked the gate with a padlock.
The two drove towards the coffee shop.
Inside the room, Engineer Liu heard the sound of the door closing.
I walked to the window and saw that the car at the door had already left.
He pulled a machete and a small handgun from under his bed...
