night
Xie Yun received Chen Zhiyu
The two sat in the car
"Why did Gao Zheng suddenly ask the two of us to have dinner together?"
Xie Yun looked at the scenery outside and curled the corners of his lips.
"They probably want me to give up the project in Haidong District. After all, I also have strong ideas about that project."
Chen Zhiyu frowned.
Gao Zheng is no good. Although the Haidong project is a huge windfall, it's not something most people can handle. She and Lu Tingchuan have discussed this project countless times, and if Gao Zheng hadn't spoken up, Lu Tingchuan might not have even considered getting a piece of the pie.
When the risks and benefits are equal, large companies like them generally wouldn't want to get involved. They might consider smaller amounts, but the amount involved this time is too large.
If something goes wrong, not only will the company face bankruptcy, but it will also be burdened with debts that it can never repay in its lifetime.
Therefore, she initially disagreed with Lu Tingchuan's idea.
Now that even he wants to get involved, she has to start re-evaluating her situation.
Seeing that she didn't speak, Xie Yun looked away and turned to look at her.
"What's wrong"
Chen Zhiyu looked at him with a serious expression. "Can you please not touch this project?"
Xie Yun's expression changed. "What's wrong? Are you afraid I'll fight your husband for it? Or do you also think your husband can't possibly handle such a big cake?"
"Ah Yun, I don't know what you're thinking, but this project is really not a good thing." Gao Zheng used it to seduce Lu Tingchuan, but she couldn't say it out loud. She didn't know how Lu Tingchuan had arranged it, and she was also afraid of disrupting his plans.
“I have plenty of money, and what your husband has, I might have just as much of. What he doesn’t have, I might have as much of. So why would you think that I would see food in front of me and not eat it? Or is it that someone poisoned the food?”
Hearing his words, she didn't know how to refute them. After all, the food had been poisoned. She didn't know what kind of poison it was, or whether Lu Tingchuan had an antidote. She just didn't want to see him involved in this matter, not because of Lu Tingchuan, but because of Xie Yun. She didn't want to see him get hurt in any way, not even the smallest thing. It would make her uncomfortable, and subconsciously, she thought that discomfort would be magnified without limit. So she wanted to avoid it.
But these were things she didn't know how to bring up with Xie Yun.
After thinking about it for a while
"Ah Yun, let's find some time to talk properly after tonight?"
Xie Yun twirled the ring on her thumb, seemingly lost in thought. The car fell silent instantly.
An eerie atmosphere enveloped the trunk.
Chen Zhiyu didn't know what he was thinking, but the strange atmosphere made her feel uneasy all over. There was nothing there, but for some reason, things started to get weird after she finished speaking.
About five minutes
Xie Yun spoke again
"We'll see." Tonight is clearly a trap; whether we can emerge unscathed is another matter.
half an hour later
The two stopped in front of the manor.
Lu Tingchuan and Xie Yun arranged for a large number of bodyguards to accompany them.
She hadn't noticed it while on the bus, but now that she'd gotten off, she realized...
A long procession of dozens of vehicles, with several people standing on each side of the vehicles; there were probably around a hundred people in total.
At this scene, Chen Zhiyu looked at the man beside her in surprise.
"Are we really just here for a banquet?"
He curled his lips into a smile, his face still bearing that carefree, unrestrained expression.
Who knows?
However, one could still see a coldness and sternness in his eyes, a stark contrast to his facial expression.
The magnificent door opened from the inside out.
The middle-aged man, dressed as a butler, bowed respectfully and said, "Welcome to Wanjing Manor, distinguished guests."
