Taking advantage of the beauty being poor, fooling her into being my girlfriend-Chapter 576 - : Bet You Didn’t Expect Me to Be an Ally
Chapter 576: Chapter 576: Bet You Didn’t Expect Me to Be an Ally
Outside Room ooi, two groups of people were arguing, cursing and swearing.
Lan Yue came out from inside, her face cold with anger, “What happened?”
“This bitch has been seeing another man behind my back!
“So what if I’m seeing men? It’s not like you’re any good!”
“You’re fucking asking for it!”
The two sides became increasingly aggressive, and soon they were fighting.
Lan Yue immediately phoned the staff here to come up and deal with it.
Because the top floor was very private, the waiters wouldn’t come up under normal circumstances.
What Lan Yue didn’t notice was that, as she focused on the two groups, someone quietly slipped into the room.
Of course, the person used the elevator key given by An Nuonuo.
Soon, the person came out from inside, and left without making a sound, the entire process lasting less than a minute.
Jiang Xu didn’t wait long downstairs before the bodyguard who had gone up came back down.
He got into the car behind Jiang Xu’s.
Inside the car was a high-precision detection instrument.
The bodyguard took a black bag out of his pocket.
Inside were bits of each food item that he had stealthily grabbed from the
room.
Su Cheng immediately sprang into action, placing each of these food samples onto the instrument for testing.
About five minutes later, the test results came out.
Su Cheng sent them directly to Jiang Xu’s mobile phone.
Jiang Xu’s phone vibrated slightly, and upon seeing the results, his eyes narrowed as he sent a message to An Nuonuo. freёwebnoѵel.com
On the other side, the staff quickly took care of the two troubling groups and sent them away.
With a cold face, Lan Yue said to the manager, “Find out how they got up here!” The manager was sweating profusely, nodding his head with palpable fear. Such a glaring mistake-if the reason wasn’t identified, his position as manager was at stake.
An hour later.
“Sister Lan Yue, you don’t have to see me off.”
“I enjoyed eating with you today. Take care on your way home.
“Me too, goodbye sister.”
“Hmm.”
Watching An Nuonuo’s departing figure, Lan Yue’s expression flickered with thoughts unknown.
An Nuonuo quickly got into a car, and Jiang Xu instructed the driver to leave the place before asking An Nuonuo what had happened between the two of them in the private room in the past hour.
He had the bodyguard secretly take samples of food and drinks from the room, all of which had been checked and found to be without problems.
That was odd.
Considering the timing, the motive, and Lan Yue’s previous actions, there was a strong suspicion that they were related to the incident.
But the results were completely different from what they had suspected. An Nuonuo also recounted the content of the conversation between the two in the private room, along with Lan Yue’s behavior and movements.
Then the two of them carefully analyzed it but couldn’t find anything suspicious.
“What’s in this bag?” Jiang Xu suddenly noticed An Nuonuo holding a bag. An Nuonuo said, “These are the leftover crabs that Sister Lan Yue said were very expensive, she asked me to pack them for you to eat.”
Jiang Xu’s eyes flashed, “Open it and see.”
An Nuonuo opened the bag, which contained five crabs.
Jiang Xu started to dismantle the five crabs one by one.
In one of the crabs, he found a small piece of paper.
The note was wrapped in a plastic bag.
After opening it, there were just a few lines of small print: “Beware of the
Eldest of the Mei Family’s youngest son, and destroy after reading!”
The two exchanged a glance, both seeing the gravity in the other’s eyes.
They had thought Lan Yue was an enemy, but surprisingly, she turned out to be an ally.
They had gone through so much trouble to bring An Nuonuo here just to warn her.
Jiang Xu said in a heavy voice, “Lan Yue is also quite formidable, both in terms of personal strength and family background.
Even she doesn’t dare to alert you openly and had to use such a roundabout method, which means the Mei Family is more formidable than we imagined.” An Nuonuo pursed her lips and remained silent.
She didn’t like this kind of life, but she had to face it.
Jiang Xu saw the fatigue in the girl’s eyes and gently embraced her, “Don’t worry, I’ve got everything under control.
We have overcome so many enemies in the past.
Moreover, we are many times more powerful than we were before, so leave this matter to me to take full responsibility.”
An Nuonuo gently shook her head, “How can that be? We are in this together, and we should face any difficulties together.”
Jiang Xu smiled and said nothing more.
When they returned home, Jiang Xu told An Nuonuo to rest first.
He then looked up information on the youngest son of the Eldest of the Mei Family.
Mei Jiji, twenty-five years old this year, a graduate from a top international school.
Two years ago, he returned to China, and with one billion in capital given by his father, he earned more than twenty billion from the stock market within just one year.
Then he used this money to invest in dozens of companies, which brought him rich returns.
His personal net worth exceeded a hundred billion.
If it weren’t for Jiang Xu’s presence, for the past three or four years, Mei Jiji would definitely have been the most dazzling figure in the domestic business world.
That’s all the public information available on Mei Jiji.
There was no gossip news, like who he might be romantically involved with.
Jiang Xu’s fingertips rhythmically tapped the tabletop as he contemplated his next move.
Considering Lan Yue’s warning tonight, it’s almost certain that the previous poisoning incident was orchestrated by Mei Jiji.
It’s just unclear whether this was his personal action, or if the whole family was aware and supportive.
Jiang Xu was more inclined to believe the latter.
After all, although Jiang Xu’s scale was not as large as the Mei Family’s, he was not someone who could be easily manipulated.
At the very least, the Mei Family alone would never dare to do this. Therefore, there must be another unseen bigshot backing him up.
And this bigshot’s influence could possibly be stronger than the one supporting Jiang Xu.
At the very least, it would be on the same level, otherwise, they wouldn’t dare to make such a move.
Jiang Xu felt this matter was very tricky.
With his current strength, he would be hampered in dealing with it.
After thinking it over, he decided to visit his backer tomorrow to discuss the matter, to see if he had any input before making a decision.
Early the next morning, after breakfast, Jiang Xu went to see the old man.
On the way, he called the old man’s secretary to schedule an appointment.
An Nuonuo was instructed to stay at home and not go anywhere during this time.
At ten-thirty, Jiang Xu met the old man.
He looked at Jiang Xu with a smile and said, “What brings you here today? Did you encounter some problem?”
Jiang Xu didn’t beat around the bush and straightforwardly recounted the poisoning of An Nuonuo, along with the information he had gathered.
After finishing, he stared intently at the old man without blinking.
