Chapter 32 Old classmate, long time no see!
Chapter 32 Old classmate, long time no see!
Wang Guanxi chatted with his mother for a few more minutes, telling them to take good care of their injuries and to call him anytime if they needed anything. Then he got up and left the hospital.
He originally wanted to meet with Chung Chao-lung that evening to discuss the investment.
But now, he has to ask about something else beforehand.
Regarding Cheng Wanhua's debt to loan sharks, what is the background of the boss named Hong Sen?
Chung Chao-lung has been in Jiangcheng for so many years and knows people in both the legitimate and underworld circles, so he must know who this Hun Sen is.
However, if I ask Chung Chao-lung for help with this matter, I will inevitably owe him a favor.
Wang Guanxi shook his head helplessly. There was nothing he could do. Cheng Wanhua was his mother's husband and his nominal stepfather. He couldn't just watch his family be driven to desperation by loan sharks.
He had originally arranged to have dinner with Zhong Zhaolong that evening to discuss the details of the club's renovation and investment, but now it seemed he would have to call him out earlier.
Wang Guanxi took out his phone, preparing to dial Zhong Zhaolong, but the phone rang first, displaying an unknown number on the screen.
He frowned, hesitated for a moment, and then pressed the answer button: "Hello, who is it?"
A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone; it sounded somewhat familiar, with a deliberately sweet tone.
"Wang Guanxi? Do you remember me?"
Wang Guanxi frowned and searched his memory for the voice.
"Lin Yanya?"
"Oh, you still remember me."
Lin Yanya laughed, not loudly, but the last syllable rose in pitch, as if she were being coquettish.
Wang Guanxi was a little surprised.
He had met Lin Yanya at the SF Express station before, and the scene was quite awkward.
She initially thought he was looking for a job and even offered to help him get a job as a courier.
When he later learned that he was the mastermind behind the inn, he turned green with embarrassment and slunk away.
There has been no further contact since.
A sudden phone call like this can't be good news.
"What's up?"
Wang Guanxi's tone was neither warm nor cold.
Lin Yanya didn't beat around the bush and directly said something that cheered Wang Guanxi up.
"Do you want to know who reported the Day and Night Club that night?"
Wang Guanxi tightened his grip on his phone.
Reporting the Day and Night Club?
He had just heard from Zhong Zhaolong that the whistleblower was named Xia Bingchao, a young man in his early twenties with blond hair.
As for why Xia Bingchao made the report, Zhong Zhaolong said that he had already sent people to investigate.
Does Lin Yanya mean she knows?
Wang Guanxi was careful not to mention that he already knew the name Xia Bingchao.
He pretended not to know, his tone tinged with curiosity.
"Oh? You know who it is?"
"Of course I know."
Lin Yanya's confidence was palpable even through the phone; her tone carried a smug "I'll tell you if you beg me" attitude.
"Who?" Wang Guanxi asked.
Lin Yanya did not answer directly.
"If you want to know, come find me. I'm at 'Time Cafe' in the west of the city, the one next to Jiangcheng College."
After saying that, she hung up the phone, not giving Wang Guanxi a chance to refuse.
……
In the coffee shop.
Lin Yanya sat by the window, placed her phone face down on the table, picked up her latte, and took a small sip.
She dressed up specially for today.
She wore a white V-neck shirt with the neckline just right, revealing a patch of white skin below her collarbone, but not too revealing.
Her hair was down, big waves cascading over her shoulders, and she wore delicate, light makeup, with a thin layer of mauve lipstick on her lips.
She looked several years younger than usual.
She looked out the window, a slight smile playing on her lips.
She didn't have much contact with Edison Wang, but she was confident that she knew men well enough.
Men are naturally curious, so he enjoyed reading "A Hundred Million a Day, Yet Trapped in a County Town," especially when it came to matters of personal safety.
If you say, "I know who wants to harm you," they will definitely come.
It would be strange if they didn't come.
Lin Yanya put down her coffee cup, took out a small mirror from her bag, and touched up her lipstick.
Last night, Wen Wubin drank too much and asked her to come out and play mahjong.
After a few drinks, Wen Wubin lost his temper and blurted out everything about what happened between Wang Guanxi and Su Qingyu that day, including his own accusations against Riyuye and his attempts to sabotage Wang Guanxi.
While saying this, he was also cursing and swearing, saying that Wang Guanxi was not a man, and that he only went to the club to get a foot massage, making him waste his time.
Lin Yanya didn't say anything at the time, but her heart was in turmoil.
It turns out that the person who reported Day and Night was Wen Wubin.
That blond-haired Xia Bingchao is Wen Wubin's henchman.
Lin Yanya immediately had an idea.
She can sell this information to Wang Guanxi.
Wen Wubin treated her so-so, summoning her at will and dismissing her with a little money; she wasn't much of a backer.
Wang Guanxi is different.
He has money, a car, and a rest stop, but he's still single.
If she could get involved with Edison Wang, her life would be completely transformed.
So she wanted to use this information as a pledge of allegiance.
Thinking of this, Lin Yanya's smile deepened.
. . . . . .
Wang Guanxi is indeed on his way.
He didn't want to go.
He had known Lin Yanya since junior high school; she was cunning and calculating, and dealing with her was never a good thing.
But then he thought, why not go?
It will only take half an hour anyway.
It will only take half an hour anyway.
If he could actually get some inside information out of Lin Yanya, when he went to Zhong Zhaolong again, it wouldn't just be to "ask around," but to exchange information.
You have your way, I have my news; neither of us owes the other anything.
. . . . . .
Not long after, Wang Guanxi arrived at Time Cafe.
Through the glass window of the coffee shop, he immediately saw Lin Yanya sitting by the window.
With a deep V-neck and big waves, she looks like she's dressed up carefully, but her age is still evident, and a certain sexiness is palpable.
Wang Guanxi pushed open the door and went straight to Lin Yanya's table.
When Lin Yanya saw him, her eyes lit up, and a smile immediately bloomed on her face.
She stood up, her voice sickeningly sweet.
"Hey, old classmate, long time no see!"
As she spoke, she walked around from the opposite side, but instead of sitting back down, she plopped down in the chair next to Wang Guanxi.
The distance between the two suddenly closed, so close that Wang Guanxi could smell her perfume.
Lin Yanya leaned slightly towards Wang Guanxi, and her arm accidentally brushed against Wang Guanxi's arm.
After touching me, I didn't flinch; I just stayed right next to you.
She picked up her coffee cup, took a sip, turned her head to look at Wang Guanxi, her eyes carrying an indescribable meaning.
"Old classmate, you're doing quite well in Shanghai. I've heard about it since you came back to Wuhan and bought a hostel and are driving a nice car."
Her voice was low and carried an ambiguous tone.
Wang Guanxi didn't move.
He glanced at Lin Yanya's heavily made-up face, then looked down at the deep V-neck of her chest, but his heart remained unmoved.
Wang Guanxi is very self-aware of his looks. If a married woman suddenly becomes so proactive towards him, it's impossible that she's after his penis; she can only be after his money.
He moved to the side, creating some distance.
But Lin Yanya seemed to be playing hard to get.
"Old classmate, it's been so long, don't you miss me?"
Lin Yanya's voice became softer and more coquettish.
