Zheng He looked up at Brother Ao Long, puzzled.
Brother Ao Long didn’t say a word and handed Zheng He a piece of paper from the table next to him.
Zheng He squinted, carefully reading the contents of the paper.
Brother Ao Long lightly lifted his chin, signaling Zheng He to read it aloud.
Zheng He had no choice but to comply, speaking into the phone, "I’ve arranged for soone to pick you up at Tian Nan City Airport, show you around Tian Nan City for a couple of days, and then we’ll go discuss a big business deal together!"
These words... why do they sound so familiar!
This was exactly what Zhao Xiaopang had told him!
It seems that their gang has unified scripts and techniques!
...
After hearing this, Chen Xixi could roughly guess where Zheng He was now.
Definitely in the north.
Tian Nan City is not far from the border, about an hour’s drive; taking her for a tour around Tian Nan City before heading to Gaoyaozi would be just perfect.
The reason she knew this process was because she had co across such cases while researching dismbernt cases.
The sche involves inviting soone to the border or abroad under the pretense of business cooperation, lowering their guard with tourism, and then either kidnapping them for ransom, directly robbing them, or recruiting them to sacrifice their lives for the gang.
She couldn’t be fooled by this.
Moreover, Zheng He’s reluctance to send his exact location was even more suspicious.
He must be afraid of exposing his location, hence why he suggested taking her on a tour of Tian Nan City.
Chen Xixi didn’t know how Zheng He got there, whether his call was a plea for help, or if he really wanted to trap her.
But, stepping back ten thousand steps, no matter the reason, she needed to contact the police first.
If Zheng He really intended to trap her, this would be a good opportunity to catch him and lock him up, giving her peace of mind and sparing her from his annoying disturbances!
If it was a cry for help, then she’d be doing a public service by eliminating harm, preventing others from being deceived.
After all, it wasn’t about rescuing that botherso guy Zheng He!
Chen Xixi said, "Alright, but first send the money for the flight ticket, otherwise I’m not going."
There was no way she would spend her own money.
Zheng He: "I’m inviting you for a major business deal, and I should pay for your flight ticket?"
"Then I won’t co."
Finally, Zheng He gave in: "Fine, fine, fine, I’ll send it! Just make sure you co!"
Normally, he would have complained about how stingy Chen Xixi was, trying to extort him.
But now, he couldn’t say a word.
This was a lifesaving Bodhisattva.
Now, he just hoped Chen Xixi wouldn’t blindly co charging in solo like him.
But even if Chen Xixi ca in all alone, he believed that she definitely had a way to help them both escape.
After all, soone who could consistently outsmart soone as clever as him was no ordinary person!
At this mont, he desperately needed soone extraordinary to rescue him!
Because this place was truly not sowhere an ordinary person could escape alive!
...
Not long after Chen Xixi hung up the phone, she received the transfer from Zheng He, who also added a note telling her to start her journey imdiately.
Since Chen Xixi was also free, she bought a plane ticket for three hours later.
Right after purchasing the ticket, notifications from a certain APP began to pop up at the top of the screen.
#Haisong Group Tian Nan City Free Anti-Fraud Promotion#
#Haisong Group to Hold a Large-Scale Public Welfare Event Tomorrow Morning#
Isn’t Haisong Group the Xu Family?
Tian Nan City... what a coincidence?
Chen Xixi, curious, clicked to read more and saved the screenshot of the event location.
She glanced over the comnts; previous criticisms of Haisong Group were gone, now all comnts uniformly supported ’Haisong Group, a conscientious enterprise’.
The manipulation by the internet army couldn’t be more blatant!
Chen Xixi laughed, wanting to salvage her reputation, huh?
Then she would lend a helping hand to the Xu Family!
Tian Nan City.
The plane landed at 3 AM, and she booked a room at a chain hotel near the airport.
A good sleep is needed for the energy to battle.
Chen Xixi was now a sowhat famous twelfth-tier actress, and to avoid attracting attention, she purposely wore a black hat and a black mask before going out.
At 8 AM, she arrived on ti at the public welfare event organized by Haisong Group, still dressed as she was the night before.
She snuck in as a volunteer and coincidentally ran into Xu Mu.
Chen Xixi looked at the busy Xu Mu and asked, "Are you also volunteering here?"
Chen Xixi was well-covered, Xu Mu did not recognize her, and he asked with a raised eyebrow, "You are...?"
She pulled down her mask a bit, "Chen Xixi."
Xu Mu replied with so surprise, "What a coincidence, you’re volunteering here too."
"Yep." Chen Xixi nodded with a smile, then asked with so confusion, "It’s your family’s event, why are you down here working wearing a volunteer vest?"
Xu Mu’s gaze darted, "This... it’s a long story, let’s get back to work first."
Chen Xixi hadn’t noticed before, but now she saw a large bruise on the left side of Xu Mu’s face, "What happened to your face?"
Xu Mu said casually, "Bumped into sothing, it’s nothing."
Seeing Xu Mu didn’t want to talk more, Chen Xixi didn’t press further.
After all, his family were the victims of the Xu Family, it wouldn’t be right empathizing with the bad guys.
But this kid’s face did look quite pitiful, considering the luxurious lunch they had on the show before, she said without much emotion, "Later, get an ice pack for it, that might help."
Touched by the concern, Xu Mu’s eyes paused for a second, and he whispered a thank you.
Chen Xixi, sounding as if making casual conversation, said, "This public welfare event is to recover your family’s reputation, right?"
"Yep."
Chen Xixi seed apologetic, "I’m sorry, I didn’t know that the casino was owned by your family."
Xu Mu replied indifferently, "It’s okay, such places shouldn’t exist anyway, you don’t need to apologize."
Chen Xixi was montarily stunned, the Xu Family actually has such a righteous child?
Quite unexpected.
Chen Xixi slowly nodded, then continued, "If your family wants to recover its reputation, I have a better way, would you trust ?"
Xu Mu paused while arranging a sign, turned his head towards Chen Xixi, and asked, "What thod?"
Chen Xixi slightly curved her lips, "I know about a fraud gang, if your family could take that gang down now, your family’s reputation would definitely be restored!
Doing more charity propaganda isn’t as good as taking real action, it’ll be faster and more effective, showing the sincerity of your family to the whole nation, then who could still say your family is a heartless corporation?"
Xu Mu was silent for a mont, what Chen Xixi said made sense, but it seed hard to implent.
Xu Mu asked, "How to take them down?"
...
Three hours later.
In a small two-storied building to the north.
Xu Mu successfully crouched next to Zheng He.
Zheng He looked up, then looked down, and then imdiately looked up again, shocked.
Isn’t this Xu Mu!
Zheng He incredulously exclaid, "You! How did you co here too!"
Xu Mu ignored Zheng He, looking at Brother Ao Long, who acted high and mighty, and firmly said, "I’m telling you! I’ve already called the police! This place will be surrounded soon!"
Brother Ao Long gave a cold smile, "Do you think we are scared?"
Xu Mu also smirked coldly, "Just wait to cry and beg for rcy!"
Brother Ao Long was completely amused by this young fellow, "Who are you, kid, to talk so big!"
As Brother Ao Long spoke, his two followers were sharpening knives in their hands.
Xu Mu’s legs went a bit weak.
He wasn’t scared, he just had a bit of a fear of knives.
Xu Mu clenched his fists, seriously stated, "I don’t change my na, nor my surna, I, I am Xu Nianying!"
Zheng He: "???"
Goodness, another mad one!
