On the way, no matter how Lingxuan provoked and challenged, Wenjing always had an indifferent look. Those who knew her temper knew that the longer this girl suppressed and controlled herself, the more crazy she would become when she finally burst out. Lingxuan had thoroughly ignited her anger.
A woman's vanity is not only reflected in money but also in other aspects. Both Wenjing and Lingxuan were pampered young ladies, with strong personalities deep down. Whether in appearance or family background, it was impossible to determine a winner. Thus, the two women opened a new battlefield, and Chu Ying became the only prey on this battlefield.
An hour later, the car stopped at the foot of Dachingshan Mountain. Lingxuan gave Wenjing a provocative look and teased, "Little junior sister, my husband and I are getting out of the car. You should hurry back, or I'll report you for sightseeing during work hours!"
"Do you know the hotline number? If you don't, I can tell you," Wenjing retorted. The car started again and drove up Dachingshan Mountain.
Ling Siyi, who was following behind, felt uneasy and extremely irritable all the way. "What's wrong with me? Could I really have fallen for that bastard?"
This thought made Ling Siyi blush. She strongly denied it, but the scenes of Chu Ying flirting with Lingxuan and Wenjing kept lingering in her mind, making her feel sour. She suddenly realized that when Lingxuan called Chu Ying her husband, she felt a sense of pride and satisfaction.
"What's so good about that guy? He's always messy and lecherous, and the only good thing about him is that he's good at fighting. How could I possibly like him!" Ling Siyi racked her brain to "hate" Chu Ying, but the more she did, the clearer his smirking face became in her mind.
Ling Siyi slowly parked the car by the roadside and leaned her head back on the seat. Her mind was in chaos, and she had to force herself to calm down.
...
"Thanks for driving us home, little junior sister. You should go back now, right?" As soon as Lingxuan got out of the car, she turned her face and immediately gave an order to leave.
Wenjing sneered, "I heard that your construction site is cutting corners and forcibly demolishing nearby houses. I'm here to investigate. If you dare to drive me away, be careful I report you for obstructing justice!"
"Then you can investigate here. Husband, let's go back inside. Staying in the sun for too long is bad for the skin!" Lingxuan deliberately emphasized the last sentence.
Women are very concerned about their appearance, and Lingxuan's words clearly had an effect. Wenjing changed her tone and said, "I'll start the investigation with you. Let's find a place to talk."
Chu Ying finally saw an opportunity. He looked around and suddenly realized that Ling Siyi hadn't returned yet. He said, "You two chat well. I'll go down the mountain to see why Siyi hasn't come back."
Before the two girls could say anything, he climbed into Wenjing's Hummer and drove down the mountain, disappearing in a flash.
Ling Siyi finally calmed down from her previous confusion, and Chu Ying's image was completely gone from her mind. But just as she raised her head, Chu Ying appeared in her sight.
"Why are you parked here alone? I thought you got lost," Chu Ying said, half-joking, leaning on Ling Siyi's car window.
Ling Siyi took a deep breath and regained her usual coldness, saying, "I was thinking about who reported us. Did you find any leads at the police station?"
Chu Ying thought for a moment and said, "If I'm not mistaken, it was either Ma Tao or Huang Qiang. Comparatively, Ma Tao is more likely."
He paused and said with a cold laugh, "Whoever it is, these two are not our friends."
Ling Siyi said, "I just got a call from Zhang Gang. He said everything is settled, and he wants me to sign the contract when I have time. Do you think he's up to something?"
It was reasonable for Ling Siyi to be suspicious since Zhang Gang had settled the matter in just two days.
Chu Ying remained calm and said with a smile, "We have the upper hand now. He can't cause much trouble. We don't need to go to him for now. The longer we wait, the more disadvantageous it is for him. Let's wait a few days. This will put无形的压力 on him, and he'll come to us when he can't stand it."
Ling Siyi clearly had the same thought. She nodded and frowned, "Ma Tao is a vengeful person and a significant figure in Qingyang City. Given his character, he won't let this go. We need to be prepared."
Chu Ying smiled, "We'll deal with whatever comes our way. There's no need to worry so much. The most important thing now is to get that contract. We still have five days left in the one-week deadline. We'll endure for five days, and once we have the contract, I'll play along with whatever Ma Tao wants to do!"
He paused slightly, and a cold smile appeared on his lips, "What we need to do now is wait for the right moment, the best time to take them all down!"
Ling Siyi knew that this guy might have already thought of a plan, even if he didn't show it. She didn't press further but moved on to another topic, "What's the deal with that policewoman? You came out of the police station unscathed, so it must be related to her, right?"
"Are you jealous, honey?" Chu Ying chuckled.
Ling Siyi's face turned slightly red, and she said coldly, "Say it if you want to, or don't."
Chu Ying, who had finally won some of Ling Siyi's favor, naturally didn't want to make her suspicious, so he said, "Her name is Wenjing. She's a police officer at Qingshan Town Police Station. She has a handle on me and begged me to be her master, so I reluctantly agreed. Don't misunderstand!"
Ling Siyi said irritably, "Are you fooling me? A small-town police officer can drive a Hummer around? There's a huge difference between Qingshan Town Police Station and Qingyang City Police Bureau. How could she help you?"
She paused and resumed her usual coldness, "If you don't want to say, that's fine."
Chu Ying said seriously, "Police officer is just Wenjing's surface identity. I don't think she's that simple. If we can get on her good side, it will be a great benefit to you!"
After hesitating for a moment, Chu Ying told Ling Siyi what happened at the police station. Given Ling Siyi's intelligence, she wouldn't fail to guess that Wenjing was extraordinary.
"Wenjing—" Ling Siyi repeated the name a few times in her mind but found no memory of it. However, from that phone call, it was clear that Wenjing had a good relationship with the head of the Qingyang City Police Bureau, Chief Tian. For Ling Siyi, knowing this was enough. She nodded and said, "I know what to do."
At that moment, a group of people came down the mountain, led by the foreman Lao Li and Huanzi, followed by Li Dong, A Biao, and other workers.
"Brother Ying!" Li Dong and A Biao hurriedly greeted Chu Ying, their expressions extremely respectful. The workers also smiled and nodded at Chu Ying.
"What are you all up to? Don't you have work today?" Chu Ying asked in surprise.
Foreman Lao Li laughed, "It's the weekend, and with the addition of Huanzi and others, we decided to go down the mountain for some fun. Brother Ying, do you have time? Want to join us?"
Huanzi asked, "Where were you yesterday? Why were you wearing a police uniform?" Although he had seen Chu Ying's strength and knew he wouldn't be in trouble, as a brother, Huanzi still cared about him.
Chu Ying gave Huanzi a reassuring look and smiled, "I was out with the boss yesterday, so I came back late."
He paused and said to Lao Li, "I'll go see my sister later. You guys have fun. I'll treat you another day!"
Huanzi said, "I'll go with you."
Chu Ying shook his head. Huanzi had just joined the construction team and had taken in Li Dong and A Biao as his subordinates, so he needed to communicate with them. He said, "I'll go alone. You have fun!"
He looked at Li Dong and A Biao and smiled, "Huanzi is your leader now. You know what to do, right?"
Li Dong laughed, "Brother Ying, you can rest assured!"
At this moment, Ling Siyi got out of the car and said to Lao Li, "Everyone has been working hard lately. Relax well when you go down the mountain. I'll cover the expenses when you come back."
The workers cheered loudly, thanking the beautiful boss.
As everyone passed by, Huanzi pulled Chu Ying aside and handed him 1,800 yuan, saying, "You just got back, and it's your first time visiting Xinxin. You can't go empty-handed. Remember to buy her something."
Huanzi seemed afraid that Chu Ying would refuse, so he handed the money to him and ran off.
