Chapter 78 I want the money, but I don’t want the people…
Li Xiaoyao took a closer look, then reached out to take it with a frown on his face. “This is a Jockey Club membership badge.”
The badge is blue-green with the word "Zhao" carved on the lower right corner.
He looked at Fu Sinian, "Master, this should be Zhao Niesen's."
When Gu Xiangsi heard the name, he paused slightly and was a little dazed.
This was the first time she heard the name since the last incident.
She remembered hearing someone mention not long ago that Zhao Niesen had used some connections to secretly make up the tax evasion amount before the matter was completely exposed, and was able to barely suppress the storm.
He is indeed difficult to deal with.
Fu Sinian frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Gu Xiangsi, and his tone was a little ambiguous: "What do you think?"
Gu Xiangsi keenly heard the hint of displeasure hidden in the tone, and her heart skipped a beat.
Thinking of his previous instructions, my heart sank.
Sure enough, Zhao Niesen still had no intention of letting her go.
The appearance of this badge in this box is most likely related to her uncle.
So, Zhao Niesen has already found out about his uncle. Is he planning to take action against people like his uncle and aunt who are greedy for small profits?
Using money as bait is the easiest way to get them to take the bait, and then they will be easily bribed.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiangsi felt a chill down her spine. She subconsciously clenched her fingers and whispered, "I'll be careful."
In the alley next to the club, two pairs of eyes were staring at the luxury car driving away.
The man in the suit took out a stack of money and put it into the hand of the bowing man next to him.
"Thank you, Mr. Zhao! Don't worry, I know what to do." The man put the money in his arms and bent down even lower.
The next day, Gu Xiangsi sent Li Lin to West Kowloon Station.
In the waiting room, Li Ling's eyes were red as she held Gu Xiangsi's hand tightly. "Thank you, Xiangsi. I'll send you a message once I'm settled there. Be sure to come and see me when you have time."
Gu Xiangsi nodded and patted the back of her hand: "Don't worry, we will meet again if we are destined to."
Only after watching Li Lin dragging her suitcase into the station entrance and her figure disappearing in the crowd did Gu Xiangsi turn around and leave.
After leaving the station, she hailed a taxi. As soon as she got in, the driver glanced at her in the rearview mirror and suddenly said, "Miss, have you offended someone?"
Gu Xiangsi was stunned and looked up in confusion: "What's wrong?"
"I just saw you come out, and it seemed like there was a business car following you, not too far away."
The driver pointed to the rearview mirror and said, "It's still there."
Gu Xiangsi's heart sank suddenly, and he quickly turned around to look behind the car. Sure enough, he saw a dark business car slowly following behind.
She frowned.
Could it be Zhao Niesen?
In the villa area in the mid-mountain area, Gu Xiangsi only gave the design drawings of the first floor. The servants downstairs were placing the hardware one by one according to the list and the drawings.
The dressing room, office, and bookcase area on the second floor are currently empty.
Fu Sinian was handling matters on the first floor when he suddenly heard a knock on the door. Li Xiaoyao pushed the door open and came in with a somewhat hurried tone.
"Master, the master has gone to the racecourse again."
“We found that woman.
"I heard that Miss Zhao made a phone call, and the master hurried out."
"Address?" Fu Sinian tapped the document with his fingertips without even raising his head.
"In The Aster community." Li Xiaoyao added.
"Is there a race at the racecourse today?"
Li Xiaoyao didn't react for a moment.
"Today's race, pick a horse to bet on."
He brushed the hem of his windbreaker with his fingertips and walked out, his voice drifting casually over: "If you win, all the prize money will be yours."
Li Xiaoyao's eyes lit up, "Thank you, Master."
Wong Nai Chung Road, Happy Valley, Wan Chai District, Island, Jockey Club Racecourse.
Gu Xiangsi and Qin Shiwei were wearing baseball caps with the brims pulled down low, covering most of their faces.
The two took a taxi to the horse racing stadium, bought tickets for the public seats, and followed the crowd into the stadium.
Qin Shiwei: "Xiangsi, Nanyu hasn't sent a message yet? Are you sure his app can locate your uncle's location?"
"Don't worry." Gu Xiangsi responded, his eyes falling on the phone screen.
As soon as he finished speaking, the phone rang.
Nanyu [Sent that guy a message, and he opened it. The location app has been sent to your phone, click on it to see your real-time location.]
Gu Xiangsi quickly clicked on the attached mini program, and a flashing red dot popped up on the screen, steadily stopping near the membership area of the stadium.
She clutched her phone tightly and whispered to Qin Shiwei, "Found it, it's inside."
The two of them took the masks, put them on and walked in together.
The racecourse was bustling with people, the loudspeakers were broadcasting the horse numbers and odds, and the sound of horses' hooves hitting the ground mixed with cheers hit the eardrums.
The red dot moves in the direction of the safe passage.
The two of them just shrank back behind the pillar next to them.
"With so much money, if you lose the bet, how will you compensate?" The man's voice was cold.
Song Ping rubbed his hands and smiled: "Don't worry, Mr. Zhao, didn't my niece also work in your company? She is very beautiful."
Gu Xiangsi, who was hiding behind, froze.
He's planning to hit on her again!
Qin Shiwei held her hand tightly and signaled her to hold her breath.
The two men looked at the two men through the gaps in the pillars and whispered a few words to each other. Then Zhao Niesen turned and left. Song Ping, with the money in his pocket and a smile on his face, walked towards the betting area.
Qin Shiwei looked at Gu Xiangsi with a hint of worry in her eyes: "Are you really okay?"
Gu Xiangsi pulled the corner of her mouth, revealing a self-deprecating smile, and took out a few banknotes from her bag: "Since I'm here, I can't go back empty-handed. Who knows, I might make a fortune."
"Lovesickness..."
"It's okay." Gu Xiangsi interrupted her and handed over the money. "Go buy it for me. I'm going to the bathroom."
As she spoke, she looked up at the bathroom sign not far away, turned around and walked in that direction. Her back looked a little thin.
As soon as I pushed the door open and walked in, before I could react, I was hit hard on the back of my head. My vision went black and I lost consciousness.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Xiangsi slowly woke up and found herself in a dim storage room. Her hands and feet were tightly tied with thick ropes, and a piece of cloth was stuffed in her mouth.
The small space was cluttered with cleaning supplies and spare seats, and the only light came from a flickering bulb in the ceiling.
She struggled, but to no avail. Outside the storage room, the noise of the racecourse could be heard faintly, with cheers and horses neighing intertwined.
The wooden door was pushed open with a creaky sound, and a man in a baseball jacket walked out from the shadows.
He was not tall, and the sleeves of his jersey were rolled up to his elbows, revealing half of his slightly tanned arms, with the collar loosely open.
"Miss Gu, long time no see!"
With her mouth stuffed, Gu Xiangsi whimpered a few times.
The man came over, with a strong smell of cigarettes on him. She frowned, and the man reached out and removed the cloth.
"Is it you?"
"It seems you have a good memory. I told you back then that I wouldn't let you have it easy."
The man lifted her chin and stared at her nakedly from top to bottom.
"Wouldn't it be a shame if I didn't sleep with such a beautiful girl?"
Gu Xiangsi looked around and saw her cell phone and bag on another table.
We can't just sit there and wait for death, we have to find a way to save ourselves.
As soon as she raised her eyes, the man picked her up and dragged her to an unused table in the corner.
Gu Xiangsi was pushed down on the table. "Just tell me what you want. I can give you money!"
"I want the money, but the people..."
The man tutted and moved his hand up from Gu Xiangsi's calf. "I've never tasted such white, delicate skin before."
When the hand moved to her face, Gu Xiangsi felt nauseous and turned her head away abruptly.
