140: Chapter 139 I’m Calling the Police

“Manager Wu, please co in,” the driver gestured for Wu Xin to enter.

Wu Xin paused slightly, then stepped into the private restaurant, imdiately seeing the other party waiting at the door with a voluptuous and pretty woman.

“Oh, Manager Shen, why trouble yourself to wait outside for ?” Wu Xin quickly approached to shake hands and exchange pleasantries.

“Not at all, you are a major custor at our bank in the future.

The custor is God, so waiting for a while outside is no big deal,” Manager Shen replied charmingly, eliciting laughter from the two won.

“Manager Wu, let

introduce you, this beauty is not just anybody.

She’s the owner of this private restaurant.

If you don’t please her today, Sister Li will not make her special dishes for you,” Manager Shen joked.

“Hello, Sister Li, please take care of

today,” Wu Xin said gratefully.

“Where is Manager Wu getting such ideas?

You gracing our restaurant is an honor.

Honestly, I have never seen a woman with as much charm as you before,” Sister Li complinted, imdiately closing the distance between the two won.

“Sister Li, you flatter .

I think you’re the real beauty here,” Wu Xin humbly responded.

She thought to herself that Sister Li was a stunning beauty and if Shen Li had any ill intentions, he would likely target her.

With this thought, Wu Xin felt relieved.

“Haha, no need for both beauties to keep complinting each other.

I’m so hungry I could eat a horse.

Co on, let’s go inside and we can chat while we eat,” Shen Li laughed.

As soon as Wu Xin entered, she noticed how different this restaurant was, particularly with its cleanliness.

The private dining room was split in half: one side for eating and the other for cooking, separated by a transparent glass.

Custors could see every move the chefs made inside, making it impossible for them to be lazy or to use a spoon that had fallen on the floor without washing it first.

Shen Li invited the two ladies to sit at a very hoy round table.

After a waitress in traditional clothes served them tea, Sister Li changed clothes to prepare that evening’s dinner.

“Manager Wu, please try this tea.

It’s a Pu’er tea that Sister Li has treasured for many years.

This tea would cost thousands for just one tael outside.”

“It’s truly an honor to taste this tea,” Wu Xin said, taking a sip and imdiately savoring the rich flavor.

Just as they were about to discuss so official business, Sister Li brought out two plates of cold starters.

“Let’s start with these, Manager Wu.

Sister Li’s cold starters are exceptionally good, especially this chilled pig’s ear,” Shen Li said after trying a bite.

“Let’s have these as appetizers so we won’t get too drunk later.”

“I’m sorry, Manager Shen, but I don’t drink alcohol,” Wu Xin apologized.

“Oh, that’s okay.

Since you don’t drink, we’ll just skip it.

By the way, Sister Li also has a bottle of red wine here.

Would you like to try so?” Shen Li looked at Wu Xin, not wanting to pressure her.

“I’m allergic to alcohol, so I can’t drink at all.

Even a little bit causes

to break out in rashes.”

“I see, well, I can’t be responsible for ruining a beauty by making her drink.

Let’s not risk any allergic reactions.”

“Then I’ll toast you with tea instead,” Wu Xin said.

While they were talking, Sister Li had finished preparing the dishes and instructed the waiter to bring them to the table.

Sister Li’s cooking skills were indeed superb, impressing even Wu Xin, who was in the food industry.

During the al, which was lively and enjoyable, Wu Xin also brought up her loan proposal several tis, and the other side agreed to prepare the contract after returning.

As the feast ended and Wu Xin was about to bid farewell to Shen Li, suddenly everything went dark.

She realized she had fallen into a trap.

Just as she was about to scream, she felt dizzy and disoriented.

But Wu Xin managed to gather her last bit of clarity, pulled out her phone, dialed a random number, and whispered hoarsely into the phone, “Sister Li’s private restaurant, save .”

Now, she could only hope that whoever picked up could discern her situation and call the police to save her.

Sister Li walked over to Shen Li, fed him a spoonful of dicine, and apologized with regret, “Sorry, Shenzi, I put a drug in the food without telling you in advance because I feared you’d slip up.”

Shen Li, feeling his head heavy, sat up and pinched Sister Li’s chest as a form of punishnt, saying, “No worries, if this works out, it’ll benefit us both.

You’ve always wanted to be regularized, right?

That young master promised

if I divorce, he’ll get

the best lawyer.

I won’t give that woman a cent of the property.”

Hearing that regularization was within reach, Sister Li’s body softened, leaning into Shen Li’s arms.

“Where’s the young master?”

“He’s in the little room behind the restaurant.

He said to bring Wu Xin to him after you finish here,” Sister Li replied, then expressed her concern, “Do you think Wu Xin will go crazy when she wakes up?

It wouldn’t be good if she decides to drag you all to court in a scorched-earth retaliation.”

“Hehe, do you think he’s been the stud here for years for nothing?

He’s been wanting to get so photos of this little lady.

If Wu Xin really makes a fuss, we’ll just threaten her with the photos,” Shen Li said cunningly.

“But we really should avoid pulling such stunts in the future; it could bring disaster upon us.”

“Yeah, you go ahead then.

I’ll clean up the cri scene.” Sister Li reluctantly got up, kissed Shen Li’s cheek, and muttered, “Hopefully, it won’t blow up.”

Shen Li, supporting the still unconscious Wu Xin, walked towards the backyard, arriving at the door of a room.

He knocked softly and said, “Young master, I’ve brought her.”

“Co in,” a robust male voice responded from inside the room.

Shen Li swallowed nervously, carefully pushed open the door, and helped Wu Xin onto the large bed inside, saying to the man sitting on the sofa, “I hope you won’t forget what you promised.

After all, we have nowhere else to turn.”

The man waved his hand to indicate his acknowledgent and impatiently hinted that he was ready for the night’s entertainnt to begin, unwilling to have soone watch.

As Shen Li returned to the front yard of the restaurant, he found Sister Li lying unconscious on the floor, with a delicate-looking man crouching beside her, smoking a cigarette.

“Who are you?

Do you know you can’t act so brazenly here?

Get out now, or I’ll call the police,” Shen Li said, glaring unpleasantly at the man.
