Chapter 249: Who Told You to Approach Me?
Zi Yi stepped on the accelerator and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
The driver of the car nearly lost control of the steering wheel out of shock and said to the person in the back seat, “Young Master, the car is gone.”
“I can see that.” Zhou s.h.i.+yu’s face tensed up, while his eyes radiated flames of fury.
At that moment, his phone suddenly rang and he was surprised at who the caller was.
“What is it?”
“I have all the information about that woman during her days in S City. If you truly wish to stop your younger brother from racing, during Elder Lu’s birthday, try to think of ways to let him know of her.”
Zhou s.h.i.+yu narrowed his eyes and sneered. “Do you think yourself smart or do you think I’m an idiot that can be easily manipulated by you? Letting Elder Lu know of her existence is just so that he can object to Second Brother being with her? If you want your younger sister to marry into the Lu Family, find a way yourself. Don’t even try to think of using me.”
“This will be a win-win situation for us.”
“Win-win situation? There are plenty of ways for me to stop s.h.i.+jin and there’s no need for me to use such an arduous but unrewarding method.”
Having said that, he hung up the phone.
…
Zi Yi had gotten rid of the tail very quickly and she reduced her speed as she headed for the central area.
Due to Elder Lu’s birthday celebration, the security of the whole city was much stricter than before.
When Zi Yi arrived at the vicinity of the central square, she inadvertently took a glance and unexpectedly saw Dou Xiangling headed towards gallery, while carrying a painting.
There was also a tall man following beside her and he seemed to be carrying several items in his hands.
Zi Yi thought for a moment and ended up parking her car in an underground parking lot as she slowly headed towards the art gallery.
The mall was rather crowded and Zi Yi’s appearance had soon attracted the attention of many.
She had not managed to walk far when she was stopped by a middle-aged man who claimed to be a talent scout. “Miss, I wonder if you have any intention of entering the entertainment industry? With your looks and temperament…”
“I’m not interested.” Zi Yi coldly interrupted him and continued walking ahead.
The middle-aged man was stunned by the cold aura Zi Yi radiated.
When he recovered his senses and intended to continue persuading her, someone suddenly blocked his path.
“Hey, what do you think you’re doing?”
The man wore a hat that had been pulled very low and hid his face. “Think of a way to bring that woman to Canglan Constellation, Tower 3, 5th Floor, Room 228.
The middle-aged man looked at him as if looking at a madman. “Who do you think you are? How dare you…”
That man took out a stack of money from his pocket, causing the middle-aged man’s eyes to brighten. He hastily took the money and counted it.
“This is the downpayment. If you can bring her over, I’ll add another 200k.”
Greed surfaced in his heart upon hearing the large sum of money. If he were to increase the price…
The middle-aged man revealed a disdainful appearance on the surface. “Only 200k? Hmph! If I manage to sign that woman, I will earn much more than this.”
“Do you think this is a negotiation?” The man’s voice deepened and he suddenly took a step closer.
The middle-aged man’s expression suddenly changed as she felt something pressed against his waist.
He subconsciously glanced down and was so frightened to the extent he was about to scream out loud.
“You better not scream, else I’ll be pulling the trigger.”
The middle-aged man trembled from fear.
“Y-y-you… Don’t be rash…. I-I… I will definitely bring that woman to that location.” As he said that, the middle-aged man had thought, “After I get away from you, I will definitely call the police!”
“You better obediently do as you’re told. I will follow behind you throughout.”
The middle-aged man trembled and cold sweat trickled down from his forehead. “O-okay.”
After which, the man put away the weapon and disappeared into the crowd.
The middle-aged man dared not have other thoughts and he hastily went to chase after Zi Yi.
Very soon, Zi Yi discovered the middle-aged man chasing behind her.
However, she had also sensed someone else watching her in the dark this time around.
“Miss, please re-think this. I am XX Entertainment Company’s editor, our company…”
Seeing that the man was about to start boasting about his company, Zi Yi suddenly stopped walking and looked at him with her chilly gaze.
The middle-aged man felt his back turn cold from her stare. However, he could only endure it at the thought of the man with the gun. “You can head over to our company to take a look first.”
He then pa.s.sed his name card to her. “If you’re still not interested after checking it out, I wi certainly not force you.”
Zi Yi glanced at the name card and did not intend to accept it. Instead, she stared into his eyes and calmly used some of her mental powers. “Who told you to approach me?”
The man’s gaze became unfocused as he answered, “I did not manage to get a clear look of his face. He has a gun and threatened me to find a way to bring you to Canglan Constellation Tower 3, 5th Floor, Room 228.
“Where is he?”
“He said he is watching me nearby and if I don’t lead you there, he will kill me.”
Zi Yi lowered her eyes and thought for a moment before she nodded. “Alright, lead the way.”
She wanted to see who was scheming against her and what their motives were.
The middle-aged man turned around and headed for Canglan Constellation.
The Canglan Constellation was a business hotel and it was just in the vicinity of the central square.
Zi Yi followed the middle-aged man and swiped her phone unhurriedly. Very soon, she had connected to all the nearby surveillance at the hotel room.
The man following them was hiding nearby and he was currently making a call to someone.
The call was connected to someone who was inside the hotel room.
There were currently several robust-looking men in that room, and a man who had a smaller figure was currently telling them what to do.
As the surveillance camera had a voice recording feature, upon plugging in earpieces, she could hear their conversation.
The thin man said, “After that woman comes in, get her to drink that cup of water.”
After pointing at the cup, he continued, “As long as your performance today satisfies my young miss, everyone will receive 200k.”
The several robust-looking men revealed excitement upon hearing the reward money.
One of them patted his chest and promised. “Don’t worry. Isn’t it just banging a woman? We will promise to make your young miss 100% satisfied with our services.”
“Good. The camera is over there and her face must be captured during the filming process.”
“It’s not a problem.”
After he pa.s.sed down the orders, the thin man turned to leave.
Zi Yi pursed her lips and connected to different cameras to follow that man.
After he left the room, the thin man took the lift and stopped one floor above.
Following that, he headed towards a room and knocked on the room. The door was soon opened by a man who appeared to be a bodyguard.
Zi Yi changed the view to the camera inside the room.
A woman was currently seated inside and several bodyguards were standing around her.
She had nice facial features, it’s just that she came off too strong with her bright red lipsticks and nail polish. At that moment, she was slowly swirling a wine gla.s.s, appearing proud and arrogant.
