Chapter 88 I Protect You - Flirting

The blindfold was taken off, Zhou Du opened his eyes and saw a very stylish man sitting on the sofa, with a famous watch on his wrist that was enough to cover his food and clothing expenses for several years.

The owner of the casino was standing behind him, kneeling and very respectful.

Shang Yanci asked calmly, "Boss Zuo, what do you usually do with gamblers who can't pay back their money?"

Boss Zuo replied, "Different levels have different methods. As for those who owe more than 10 million, they should dig out what needs to be dug out, chop what needs to be chopped off, and sell it to shady places to satisfy some curious dignitaries. We can't just let us suffer the loss alone."

Zhou Du was sweating profusely and said hoarsely, "Who said I can't pay it back? Just wait a few days and I will pay it back in full without missing a cent."

Shang Yanci said nonchalantly: "But Xu Han only gives you 10 million every year."

This casual remark made Zhou Du's heart tremble with fear: "...Who are you?"

Shang Yanci did not answer his question, but continued: "Back then, whether there was a car accident or not, Xu Han would not have given birth to a child with your blood."

Zhou Du's hands and feet were cold, and his lips were as white as paper: "I don't know what you are talking about?"

Shang Yanci stood up and walked in front of him, looking down at him, and said in a light and unhurried voice: "Xu Han can't even protect herself now, so she won't care about your life or death. Do you think she would rather give you 25 million so that you can continue to hold her handle and threaten and blackmail her for a long time, or would she rather let you be sold to death quietly by the casino and she will reap the benefits?"

Xu Han's answer was obvious. Zhou Du remained silent, and then he realized belatedly that all of this was a trap set by the man in front of him, and the ultimate goal was not to target him, but Xu Han.

Zhou Du asked: "If I help you, what benefits can you give me?"

Shang Yanci: "Let you walk out of the casino safely today, and you will have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life."

Zhou Du demanded: "Give me 50 million every year."

Shang Yanci: "Yes."

She agreed to the 50 million without blinking an eye, but Xu Han only gave him 10 million every year. If he hadn't given her a child, how could she have become the eldest lady of the Pei family so easily? Since she was unkind, she shouldn't blame him for being unjust.

Zhou Du: "What do you want me to do?"

Shang Yanci: "On Friday night, go to the gate of Yuhua Mingyuan and tell the security guard that you have evidence against Xu Han and ask him to tell Madam Pei. You must enter the main house and tell the truth in front of everyone."

Zhou Du hesitated and wanted to back out: "But if this happens, the Pei family will not let me go. Can we talk online?"

Shang Yanci glanced at the time on his watch and said indifferently: "You only have two choices. Either trust me and do what I say, or die here."

Zhou Du: "Are you sure you can save me?"

Shang Yanci walked out.

"I'll do it! I'll do it! Mr. Shang!" Zhou Du struggled hard, and the wooden chair and the man fell to the ground together, shaking like chaff.

Shang Yanci walked out without stopping.

Gu Yu, who was at the door, walked up to Zhou Du and asked someone to untie the rope on him.

Gu Yu put the suitcase on the wooden chair and opened it: "Here is one million US dollars. After the matter is completed, Mr. Shang will send you abroad."

"Okay, okay, I'll do whatever you say." Zhou Du held the suitcase in his arms.

Gu Yu: "Xu Han will be back from the sanatorium in Y City tomorrow. Mr. Shang is the son-in-law of the Pei family. You will meet him on Friday night. Don't show any clues and do what you should do. Before you go abroad, someone will protect you closely. Don't have any thoughts that you shouldn't have. Honest cooperation will benefit both of us. What do you think?"

Zhou Du: "Yes, yes, I understand, I understand."

It's called "close protection", but it's actually surveillance, Zhou Du knows it very well.

Mr. Shang already knew the secret between him and Xu Han, and it was only a matter of time before Xu Han was brought down. The reason why he was asked to take action was to get rid of Xu Han more quickly. As long as he performed well tomorrow night, he would have new hope for the rest of his life.

Gu Yu gave all the instructions, left the casino, got into the passenger seat of a Rolls-Royce, and let the driver drive.

He looked at Shang Yanci who was sitting in the back seat with his eyes closed and asked, "Boss Shang, will Madam Pei let Zhou Du enter Hua Ming Garden? After all, this is a scandal."

Shang Yanci: "You have endured this thorn in your side for more than ten years. If you were in my shoes and had the chance to remove it in one stroke, would you endure it just for the sake of your face?"

Gu Yu: "Of course it has to be removed."

Come to think of it, when the matter between Shang Heng and Xu Wei came to light, Madam Pei rushed Xu Han to the sanatorium in City Y overnight. Now, with Zhou Du as a sharp weapon, there was no reason for her not to use it.

Shang Yanci returned to Wentang Palace. Pei Yuning was still on his way home. Aunt Zhou was cooking dinner in the kitchen, so he called the two elders to the side room.

Shang Yanci whispered, "Grandpa and grandma, my father-in-law's second wife will be back from the sanatorium in Y City tomorrow. Saturday is my eldest brother's birthday, and Ningning will definitely go back tomorrow night. I will arrange for you two to go out and play tomorrow afternoon, and then go to Yuhua Mingyuan on Saturday."

Grandpa understood what he meant: "So you don't have to see your father-in-law's second wife on Saturday?"

Shang Yanci said "hmm".

The two old men complied with his arrangement.

After Pei Yuning came back from the company, the family sat together for dinner and then went to see a musical.

After watching the musical, it was already 10 o'clock in the evening. After returning to Wentang Palace, we said goodnight to each other and went back to our rooms to rest.

Pei Yuning finished washing and skin care, then lay in Shang Yanci's arms, listening to his heartbeat.

She was covered with a soft quilt, and Shang Yanci's palms gently patted her back, although it was impossible for her to fall asleep in this position.

Shang Yanci asked gently, "Baby, what are you thinking about?"

Pei Yuning raised his hand and rubbed his ears: "I'm thinking about you."

Shang Yanci laughed softly: "I'm here, no need to think about it."

Pei Yuning's lips curled up, then his smile faded. After thinking carefully, he said, "A Yan, you'd better not go back to Yu Hua Ming Garden with me tomorrow night."

Shang Yanci asked knowingly, "Because of Xu Han?"

Pei Yuning: "Well, she is very good at pretending to be docile. I don't want you to talk to her, not even a word."

Shang Yanci touched her ear and said, "I didn't intend to say a word to her."

Pei Yuning raised her head from his arms and looked at him: "You didn't even say hello? It doesn't seem to be in line with your usual politeness."

Shang Yanci: "Don't fight."

Pei Yuning kissed his chin and said with a smile: "Okay, we should follow the husband's lead. I will protect you."

Shang Yanci's eyebrows softened, and the corners of his mouth curved upward: "Okay."

The two kissed each other for a while, hugged each other, turned off the lights and went to sleep.

On Friday evening, Shang Yanci drove to pick up Pei Yuning from get off work.

Pei Yuning sat in the passenger seat, and when passing the fork in the road, Shang Yanci drove directly to the road leading to Yuhua Mingyuan.

Pei Yuning asked: "Have grandpa and grandma gone to Yuhua Mingyuan?"

Shang Yanci held the steering wheel with his slender white hands, his eyes looking straight ahead: "Grandpa and grandma have a date tonight, we are going to watch the fireworks, and then we will go to Yuhua Mingyuan to celebrate my eldest brother's birthday tomorrow."

Pei Yuning smiled with a smile on her face: "Grandpa and grandma have a really good relationship. Even though they always quarrel, it's still very interesting."

After a red light of one and a half minutes, Shang Yanci stopped the car, took Pei Yuning's left hand with his right hand, bent down and kissed her ring finger: "Baby, our relationship will always be good."

"Yeah." Pei Yuning lifted his chin teasingly, and her fingertips accidentally touched his Adam's apple.

Shang Yanci's Adam's apple rolled slightly, and his eyes became deeper. He wanted to kiss her, but it was easy for the camera to capture it in the front row, so he endured it for the time being.

Pei Yuning felt the rise and fall of her Adam's apple, and then the temperature of Shang Yanci's neck muscles rose. She withdrew her fingers and stopped touching him. She smiled meaningfully and said, "A Yan, you are really too fragile."

Shang Yanci chuckled softly: "Baby, you know I can't refuse you."

Pei Yuning exposed him bluntly: "When I wanted to help you last night, you clearly refused."

The green light came on, and Shang Yanci drove straight ahead, looking calm and composed, saying casually: "Baby, were you helping me last night? You were clearly playing with me."
