Chapter 44 You're Not Dead Yet
Jun Lan lowered her voice and said to the waiter, "Didn't we agree on 200? I already gave you 100 yuan as a deposit, and now you're taking advantage of me?"
The guy said, "That's your offer. I never agreed to it! The guy is still waiting! Do you want to fix it or not? If not, I'm closing the shop."
Lu Yang: "You're still worried about spending a few hundred yuan at this time. I'm looking forward to using my phone! Fix it, fix it for me, and hurry up."
Jun Lan smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, yes, I'll fix it. Even if he wants a thousand dollars, I'll fix it for him."
Guy: "That's right, you don't need to doubt my skills. Watch me." After saying that, he used tools to open the back cover of the phone, fiddled with it left and right, then blew it a few times with a hair dryer, and closed it and it was OK.
Guy: "See if you have any other questions? If not, I'll give you 500 yuan."
Lu Yang picked up his phone and played with it for a while, then nodded.
"Okay."
Jun Lan reluctantly took out five hundred yuan and put it on the table: "If you can't fix it later, I'll come back and kill you, right?"
Buddy: "I've been waiting for you, just worried you wouldn't come."
Lu Yang: "That's enough. You've been whining with a guy for so long just for 500 yuan. Go back to the hotel! I really don't want to stay with you for another minute."
Jun Lan glared at the waiter fiercely and quickly followed Lu Yang back to the hotel.
On the way, Junlan was very bored, so she started talking.
"Hey, I heard from that dog agent that your family used to be very rich?"
"Yes, my family is in business and we own several high-end villas in the city. At the peak of my career, I drove a Mercedes worth millions."
"Then...why are you..."
"You want to ask me why I'm so down and out now, right?"
"Um."
"I hate it most when women like you are so evasive and unwilling to speak directly. It's all because of him. If he hadn't led me astray, I'd still be a wealthy second-generation kid, living a life of plenty for generations. It's because I foolishly trusted a bad friend and followed him into gambling that I've become the devastated ghost I am now."
"Who is so mean? You treat him as a friend, but he takes you as a fool and takes you to gamble."
"Who else? It's my college classmate and roommate. You know that person too."
"Who is it? Damn it, I'll go teach him a lesson for you."
"That's Yang Ning."
"Huh? I can't tell..."
"You can't tell, right? I was deceived by him the same way. I thought he was a peaceful little white rabbit, but who knew he was a wolf in sheep's clothing. He tricked me into a gambling vortex where I couldn't extricate myself, and then forced my father to sell the company to him at a low price, bankrupting my whole family and leading us to this miserable life that is unbearable for human beings."
Junlan found it incredible.
"I think there's some misunderstanding between you two."
"There's no misunderstanding between Yang Ning and me. I'm in this state now, so what misunderstanding could there be? Fortunately, there's always a way out. I've found a chance to survive. I no longer have to live in poverty or rely on others for support."
"What opportunity is it? Introduce it to me, so I can live a life of luxury for a few years."
Seeing that Lu Yang didn't reply, Jun Lan continued to ask for information shamelessly.
"So, according to you, Yang Ning must be a wealthy man. Why would he come to the Junyue Hotel to do such rough work?"
"What's so strange about that? This is where he hides the most. No one will ever know what's really going on in his mind. I was supposed to work here, but after looking at my resume, they didn't want to hire me. I knew Yang Ning's family must be capable, so I asked him to go with me for the interview. I thought the HR department would at least give him some face and hire me. Later, for some reason, he also came to work here. Isn't that strange?"
"You knew he wasn't a good person, but you still went to him for help? You usually act like inseparable brothers in the hotel, and someone who didn't know would think you were... But I think you're even weirder, huh?"
"What else could I do, big sister? I was so poor at that time that I could barely afford to eat. When I first came to the hotel, I was ostracized everywhere. If I hadn't climbed up to him, would I still be here today?"
Hearing this, Jun Lan felt really aggrieved for him. At that time, when she saw Yang Ning's clear eyes, she thought he was still a good person!
"Hearing you say that, I'm now very interested in Yang Ning's family background."
"It's not just you. I want to know too, but I've been friends with him for so many years and I've never met his family. I don't know what business they're in or how they made their fortune."
"Huh? So mysterious? Logically speaking, since he's so rich and good-looking, he shouldn't be short of women around him, right?"
Lu Yang smiled and said, "Forget it, but don't even think about hitting on him. There are indeed many women chasing after him, but I have never seen him with a woman since I met him."
"That's a really strange person."
"you do not say!"
Before they knew it, they had returned to the hotel. Junlan thought there was nothing more to talk about, so they each went back to their rooms to rest.
After returning to the room, Jun Lan quickly called the guy she had called before.
"You idiot, tell me what you found out?"
"Don't be so harsh. I've copied all the information on that idiot's phone and sent it to your email, but I advise you not to read it, or you'll have to wash your eyes."
"What do you mean?"
"It's meaningless. Forget it. I can't be the only one blind. You'll know what I'm talking about after you see it. I've already installed a bug in his phone. I've mailed the device to your address. You can hear what he's talking about by wearing the headphones."
Junlan hung up the phone without saying a word and opened her mobile email.
I have to say that Lu Yang is quite meticulous. Just as Jun Lan expected, there was no evidence of crime in the phone. However, the hundreds of nude photos of beautiful women in the cloud storage on the phone were really disgusting.
"Alas, men are really..." Jun Lan shook her head.
The drama is about to begin. Jun Lan has long suspected Lu Yang of being the culprit who injured Lao Wang and Dali, but she's been struggling to find evidence to convict him. And he's only been here a few days. He has no past or present animosity with Lao Wang, so his only motive is simply money. And a gambler like him is never content. Surely the mastermind behind the murders couldn't have imagined he'd be blackmailed for the rest of his life?
This trip to Hainan was the fuse that fueled the Junlan plan.
At this time, Junlan's cell phone rang. It was Situ.
"Lin Junlan, when will you come back?"
"I'll be back tomorrow."
"Are things going well?"
"Everything is still under control. I will report to you in detail tomorrow."
"Very good, Wang Dafu has woken up. Go check on him tomorrow morning and then come back to room 666 to find me."
"Got it. There's something I need to report to you right away."
Situ was shocked: "Have you gotten into trouble again?"
