Another upscale hotel.
"How about it?"
Jiang Zhenghua, wearing a bathrobe, lay on the sofa with a snow lotus flower between his fingers. "Is everything taken care of?"
"Not yet, not yet!"
Song Lu's expression changed, and she hurriedly lowered her head, not daring to meet Jiang Zhenghua's sharp gaze.
"How do you do your job?"
Jiang Zhenghua's face darkened. "Is Zhao Kang unwilling? Or do you not want Zhao Kang to do this, so you didn't go to him?"
"President Jiang, I've gone to look for it!"
Song Lu hurriedly explained, "I just went to see Zhao Kang, and he promised to deal with Wang Qian, but we need to find a suitable opportunity."
"Hmph, that's for the best!"
Jiang Zhenghua sneered, "Don't forget, your fate is entirely in my hands. If you want to live well, you'd better not try anything funny. And you'd better do the things I ask you to do perfectly."
A hint of resentment flashed in Song Lu's eyes.
Although it was only a fleeting moment, Jiang Zhenghua still managed to capture it.
“I know you harbor resentment, but don’t forget, eight years ago, if it weren’t for me, Zhao Kang would have been in jail long ago.”
Jiang Zhenghua rebuked him sternly, "I've been able to protect you all these years and provide you with this position. You should be grateful, but instead you repay kindness with enmity?"
Song Lu frowned, her eyes flickering uncertainly.
but,
She didn't answer, but lowered her head, trying her best not to let Jiang Zhenghua see the change in her expression.
But in reality, Jiang Zhenghua didn't really care what she thought.
As long as Zhao Kang still has leverage over him, no matter how Song Lu and Zhao Kang view him, it won't change anything.
"Remember, before Wang Qian returns to Nanming County, he must suffer a broken bone, understand?"
Jiang Zhenghua impatiently scolded him again.
"Don't worry, President Jiang, Zhao Kang is already arranging manpower and looking for a suitable place to strike. He will definitely make sure Wang Qian is carried back to Nanming County in a lie-down state," Song Lu hurriedly assured him.
"That's good!"
Jiang Zhenghua looked Song Lu up and down, his eyes revealing undisguised greed and malice.
Song Lu subconsciously took two steps back, her hands protecting her chest, her eyes filled with disgust and vigilance.
"Haha, don't worry, as long as you work diligently for me, I won't harm you!"
Seeing Song Lu's defensive actions and gaze, Jiang Zhenghua couldn't help but burst into laughter.
He really enjoyed that feeling!
He was like a ferocious beast; the prey he had his eye on could only tremble in his presence, lacking even the courage to flee.
"President Jiang, are we really going to send someone to disrupt Wu Yanping's autograph session?"
Song Lu probed, "Aren't you one of her sponsors in Linjiang City? Why would you...?"
"What do you know?"
Jiang Zhenghua's lips curled into a sinister smile. "This is called a self-inflicted injury strategy. If I don't cause her some trouble, how will I get a chance to get close to her and gain her trust?"
"So what are you planning to do?" Song Lu pressed.
"That's not something you should be asking. Your task is simply to have Zhao Kang take some men to the scene and cause trouble."
"Well... okay."
Knowing she wouldn't get any answers, Song Lu had no choice but to give up.
"Alright, get on with the arrangements!"
Jiang Zhenghua waved his hand impatiently, "I have to go see Wu Yanping's concert now."
Song Lu nodded, turned and left the room.
But as soon as she stepped out of the hotel, a stranger who brushed past her suddenly slipped a note into her hand.
What are you doing?
Song Lu subconsciously became somewhat wary.
But when she looked back, the person had already disappeared into the bustling crowd.
Song Lu's eyes flickered uncertainly.
In a moment, she seemed to realize something, and without continuing to search for the stranger or lingering, she strode away.
Once she was away from the hotel, she looked around and, making sure no one was watching, quietly opened the note.
There is only one short line of text above.
Crescent Lake.
Just those four words immediately eased the anxiety on Song Lu's face.
Then, without delay, she immediately went to Crescent Lake.
A familiar young man sat on a bench by the lake.
He wore a white casual outfit and sneakers, with striking eyebrows and bright eyes, and was exceptionally handsome.
"I was just about to go find you, but I didn't expect you to send me a note instead."
Song Lu walked up to the young man and asked, "Do you have something urgent to tell me?"
The person looking for her was Wang Qian.
Wang Qian and Wu Yanping are very close, and Wu Yanping is about to go on stage to sing, so Wang Qian should be helping her.
Since he arranged to meet her here, there must be something important going on.
"You went to see your boyfriend Zhao Kang, didn't you?" Wang Qian asked instead of answering.
"Yes, I saw him!"
Song Lu nodded and gave Wang Qian a grateful look. "Zhao Kang asked me to say 'thank you' to you."
"So, he agreed to my plan?"
I felt somewhat relieved.
Song Lu and Zhao Kang are indispensable key elements in his plan. If they do not agree to cooperate, even if everything else goes smoothly, he will not achieve his desired goal.
However, it seems that things are going relatively smoothly for Song Lu and Zhao Kang.
What made him most grateful was that he found Song Lu in a timely manner.
Otherwise, according to Song Lu, Jiang Zhenghua originally planned to have someone kill him and make him return to Nanming County in a bed.
If we had searched for him any later, he probably wouldn't have even known how he was attacked.
