Just then, there was a knock on the door of the private room.
Jiang He stuck his head in from outside and said, “Master Si, we’ve received a message from the M country. The CEO of the other party wants to schedule a video conference with you.”
He had barely finished speaking when he noticed that something was amiss in the room. His gaze shifted downward from Lu Si’s tense face to the hands of the two people holding each other, and his heart skipped a beat. “Uh, Master Si, you might be busy right now. 1 can reschedule with the other party.”
“No need,” Lu Si released Mei Shu’s hand and sighed softly. “We need to carefully consider this matter. Without concrete evidence, we can’t pin her down. Don’t act recklessly for now.”
“I understand.” Mei Shu had been immersed in her vengeful thoughts and hadn’t noticed when Lu Si had taken her hand.
Originally, they were just friends, so there was no need for embarrassment. However, for some reason, her heart had been racing as if it might burst from her throat.
Seeing that she had calmed down, Lu Si also relaxed. “1’11 take my leave now. No matter what happens, you can always contact me by phone.” contemporary romance
“Alright.” Mei Shu personally saw him out, then returned to the private room absentmindedly and filled her stomach with some food.
When she left the club later, the sky outside had already darkened. She hailed a taxi without much thought, but just as she was about to get in, she suddenly felt like someone was following her.
It was a peculiar sensation, like an urgent prickling at the back of her neck.
She paused, standing by the car, and swiftly turned around to survey her surroundings, but she couldn’t spot any suspicious looks.
“Miss, are you getting in the car or not? It’s almost time for me to clock off, and 1 have to return the car to the company,” the driver said when he saw her standing by the door for a while, assuming she had other plans.
“Oh, right.” Mei Shu didn’t hesitate any longer, got into the car, gave her home address, and then leaned back in her seat, lost in thought about the events of the past.
Outside the club.
Lu Ming photographed the license plate number and sent a text message.
In the lull while he waited for a response, he casually lit a cigarette.
However, the club’s manager came out in person today to ask him to leave. “Sir, please don’t smoke here. Our club is for members only, and we don’t allow non-members to enter. Please leave as soon as possible.”
“I’m waiting for a friend here. Is that not allowed?” Lu Ming retorted defiantly, even feeling tempted to spit in the manager’s face.
The manager was accustomed to dealing with people like him, so he maintained a polite smile and said, “Sir, we haven’t received any reservations from our members today. Please leave promptly, or we’ll have to call security.” “Fine! I’m leaving!” Lu Ming sneered, blatantly throwing the cigarette butt on the ground, then deliberately extinguished it with his foot, and only then did he stride towards his car.
Behind him, the manager gave him a disdainful look.
Inside the club, a new waitress rushed over to help clear away the cigarette butt on the ground. She looked disgusted as she muttered, “Who is this guy? Why is he so uncivilized? He dares to act so arrogantly at our club’s entrance?”
The manager snorted. “Next time you see him, just chase him away. This person is the most disliked detective in the circle. He may be called a detective, but in reality, as long as you pay him, he’ll do any unscrupulous thing. He has leaked a lot of people’s information, and he’s cunning. Many of our club’s members don’t like him, so don’t let him offend any guests.”
“Alright, 1 understand!” The waitress, with wide-open eyes, looked in the direction where Lu Ming had left with curiosity.
This was the first time she had seen what a so-called detective looked like, but this detective was clearly quite different from what she had imagined.
On the other side.
Wang Yue was at home, deeply troubled. She only wanted to get her daughter out of the police station as soon as possible, but without Mei Yun’s help, she was powerless. She had neither money nor connections, and she was hitting a wall at every turn.
Just when she was feeling helpless, a text message on her phone reignited her hope.
Even if she couldn’t save her own daughter, dragging that b*tch down with her would at least provide some temporary venting!
With that in mind, she promptly withdrew some money and sent it to the hoodlum she had arranged in advance. “I’ve sent you the license plate number. As long as you handle this matter properly, I’ll provide additional funds later.” “Alright, rest assured, I, Yellow Hair, do things with credibility. 1 guarantee 1’11 ruin that person!” On the other end of the phone, a man with dyed yellow hair chuckled and spat out the cigarette butt in his mouth. “Brothers, we’ve got a big job today. Let’s put in some effort, and we won’t have to worry about food and clothing for the next month!”
“Okay, Big Brother, who’s the target this time?” A bulky man with oily hands beside him rubbed his palms together, his eyes gleaming with anticipation.
Huang Mao grinned and showed them a photo on his phone. “It’s this one, she looks so sweet. Tonight, we’re in for a treat!”
The man’s eyes widened as he stared at the photo, and he couldn’t help but drool. “That’s great, Big Brother. We’ll not only make money, but also have a good time.. If we can get jobs like this every day, won’t our lives be amazing!”
