In the dimly lit bar, Gu Ningyue looked at Jin Dongsheng across from her: "So, for that three million, you must find that person?"
But even if you find him, can you really get the money?
Jin Dongsheng responded, "Yes! Even if that three million might have already been squandered and vanished into thin air, and he has no money left, I still want him to know he can’t escape my grasp."
Gu Ningyue took a sip of ice water from her glass, "You don’t know his real na, it won’t be easy to find him. Even his ID was fake, didn’t you doubt it at the ti?"
Jin Dongsheng replied self-mockingly: "Who would check the ID of soone they’ve known for three years? I only realized sothing was off when signing the contract later, but because I trusted him, I signed anyway."
Now it’s done, that person has vanished, and the money I worked hard for is gone.
It was at that mont that I realized the friend I trusted was actually an addict.
Gu Ningyue sighed, realizing that Jin Lin was more sentintal than she thought. He actually chose to trust soone in front of legal docunts.
"Let be clear, I’m only responsible for helping you find this person’s whereabouts. I’m not involved in anything else."
Gu Ningyue had already been traumatized by going into a lion’s den once before. She wasn’t prepared to go to such a place again.
Jin Dongsheng responded, "Rest assured, once we find him, I won’t make things difficult for Miss Gu."
Gu Ningyue was about to agree when suddenly Jin Dongsheng added: "But if Miss Gu goes back on her word, the matter of seeing Miss Gu at the suburban villa that day, and how Young Master Lin was so concerned about Miss Gu today, I’ll have a nice chat with Master Ling about it."
Gu Ningyue heard the threat in his voice. Though displeased, the thought of Ling Tianyou flashed in her mind, leaving her with no choice but to compromise: "I won’t go back on my word to you. I’ll get back to you as soon as possible."
They added each other as WeChat friends, and as Gu Ningyue looked at the photo of the person sent by Jin Dongsheng, she strangely comnted: "I feel like I’ve seen this person sowhere. Does he often go to soone nad Little Mao to get goods?"
Jin Dongsheng shook his head: "I don’t know. He always hides well, and it wasn’t until the scandal broke that I knew he was an addict."
During the day, he appeared righteous and upright, and Jin Dongsheng couldn’t connect him with those addicts at all.
Gu Ningyue’s slender fingers wrapped around her glass, and she suddenly felt a touch of sympathy for the man in front of her: "Little Mao is currently in the detention center. I can have soone probe and ask about it."
It seems Ling Tianze is locked up with Little Mao.
Maybe through Ling Tianze and Little Mao, she could find so clues, which would save herself so trouble if possible.
"Thank you for the trouble, Miss Gu."
After their official conversation, Jin Dongsheng curiously scrutinized Gu Ningyue’s expression: "Miss Gu, have you ever tried those things?"
Gu Ningyue warily asked: "Why do you ask?"
Jin Dongsheng smiled as if reading sothing from her expression: "Nothing, just curious! I want to understand a bit of your ntality!"
Gu Ningyue looked at him and said: "I don’t touch those things. That day I was there just like you, to find soone!"
Jin Dongsheng nodded noncommittally, "I see."
Despite his words, his deanor showed he didn’t believe a single bit.
Realizing there was no point in further explaining, Gu Ningyue simply dropped the matter.
After sitting idly for a while, Gu Ningyue got up to say goodbye and left.
Jin Dongsheng was about to offer to see her off when Gu Ningyue waved her hand: "No need, I’ve already called for a car, it should be here soon."
Jin Dongsheng nodded, his smile full of implication: "Then Miss Gu, take care, and stay safe."
Not long after Gu Ningyue left, a few people dressed identically ca up to Jin Dongsheng: "Young Master, the master has asked you to go ho!"
Jin Dongsheng glanced at the speaker with a frown: "I have sothing to do, I’ll go back tomorrow!"
"Young Master, the master said you must co ho with us tonight. Otherwise, you never need to return again!"
Jin Dongsheng’s frown deepened, "Is he planning to disown ? Uncle Zhang, tell him I don’t care if he cuts off!"
Uncle Zhang sighed deeply upon hearing this, "Young Master, why put yourself through this! You’ve been fighting with the master for years, isn’t it enough? He’s really upset with you today, and if you don’t go back, he might cut off your economic sources."
Jin Dongsheng snorted, looking at Uncle Zhang: "Trying to control with that ager monthly allowance? I won’t go back tonight. Uncle Zhang, you know my temper; even if you force back, it’ll only be a corpse that returns."
Confronted with Jin Dongsheng’s stubbornness, Uncle Zhang could only sigh and glance back at the people standing behind him.
The next mont, before Jin Dongsheng could react, he was pricked with a needle, and then his eyes rolled back as he collapsed into soone’s arms.
"Young Master has had too much to drink, take him ho."
"Yes!"
anwhile, Gu Ningyue took a cab back to her house, barely reaching the door before Lin Ruixian’s call ca through: "Ning Yue, are you ho yet?"
Gu Ningyue halted her motion to unlock the door, deliberately avoiding his question: "What’s up? Worried about ?"
Lin Ruixian hesitated, "Mm."
Gu Ningyue giggled, "You used to not care a bit about others’ well-being. Could it be you actually like ?"
Lin Ruixian’s hand trembled, almost dropping the phone, and after a long pause, he slowly asked, "You’ve returned ho already?"
Gu Ningyue heard the tension in his voice and couldn’t help but feel pleased: "Yeah, I’m back. I’m going to rest now, let’s talk tomorrow!"
Saying this, Gu Ningyue unlocked her ho’s door with the key.
The interior was pitch black, and she casually flicked on the light switch, instantly illuminating the darkness with the villa’s crystal lights.
Lin Ruixian let out a breath of relief: "Alright, goodnight."
Listening to Lin Ruixian, she locked the door from the inside and proceeded upstairs into her bedroom.
"Ding-dong——"
Ling Tianyou sent a ssage: "Was today successful?"
Gu Ningyue didn’t expect Ling Tianyou to still be thinking about it, feeling slightly surprised: "It went alright. There were so unexpected things, but overall it was smooth!"
"Ding-dong——"
Ling Tianyou: "I’m glad to hear. Are you ho now?"
Gu Ningyue sat on the edge of her bed, casually replied: "Mhmm, you’re not asleep yet?"
"Ding-dong——"
Ling Tianyou: "Knowing you’re okay is enough, goodnight."
Just as Gu Ningyue was about to reply with ’goodnight’ too, another sentence popped up on the screen: "——Next ti, rely on , okay?"
