The Side Character’s Hidden Boss!-Chapter 393 - The Death of Zhao Jing
Chapter 393: The Death of Zhao Jing
Translator: Lonelytree
Soon, Mo Li and Ah Ao left Ross’ research institute. The paparazzi probably got tired of waiting for them already. If they were careful, they shouldn’t be discovered.
Mo Li just got into the car when she received a message from Quan Yu. “Do you need me to deal with the Luo Kid?”
“Don’t need, the fish hasn’t taken the bait yet.”
On the other end, Quan Yu smiled because he predicted Mo Li’s message. These people sure are unlucky to have crossed Mo Li.
…
Xiao Yue looked through her phone as she sat in the car. She had not seen Quan Yu for half a month already. At first, he would still answer her calls but now he had fully disappeared.
However, Lu Ke had found her several times. It was probably because the gossips mags had taken a few pictures of Xiao Yue and Mo Li together. However, Xiao Yue didn’t need this woman anymore so she ignored her.
Xiao Yue gritted her teeth but then she told herself that she was being too impatient. Just as she pondered how to get closer to Quan Yu, the assistant handed her a phone. “Miss, a Mr. Luo wants to meet you. He wants to know if you have time to have dinner with him.”
Xiao Yue frowned when she heard that surname. She was disgusted. She did mention him in passing on the press conference but he had been haranguing her ever since. But perhaps he can be my best ally to bring down Mo Li…
…
Lu Qin massaged her temples. Her car flew down the highway. The wind blowing through her hair made her feel more comfortable. She wanted to have the driver stop at the rest stop so she could buy a cup of coconut latte when her phone rang.
Lu Qin frowned when she saw that it was an unfamiliar number. She raised the partition to stop the driver from hearing her. She looked at the phone and then answered it. “Hello?”
The person on the other end had a trembling voice. He said timidly, “Miss, Miss… This is Gong Pei, you have to help me.”
Lu Qin laughed derisively. “Gong Pei? Sorry, I don’t know anyone by that name. You got the wrong number.”
As Lu Qin was about to hang up, Gong Pei got desperate. “You don’t know me but I know you! We have an agreement back then. If I do the thing for you, you would give me 50,000 RMB. The deed is done and Quan Yu is looking all over for me. You can’t do this to me…”
The corners of Lu Qin’s mouth curled up into a sneer. “If I answer to every harasser that calls me, then I will never get anything done. I am sure I don’t know you. I don’t even know what you’re talking about.” Her phone came with a voice changer and it was not registered to Lu Qin’s name. It was usually held by her assistant. Even if someone traced the call, Lu Qin was not afraid.
“I know your surname is Lu. You better give me the money or if I am captured by Quan Yu’s people, I’ll drag you down with me.” Gong Pei was desperate. He probably called from a phone box because he was afraid of being discovered.
Lu Qin frowned slightly. Her bad mood worsened. How did this man know so much thing?
Lu Qin gripped her phone and said with a warning, “I don’t know what you’re trying to do but don’t you dare threaten me. Or I will have hundreds of ways to make you regret ever being born.”
“Do I hear the fear in your voice?” Gong Pei chuckled with a clearly more relaxed tone. He added, “Don’t worry. I am a man of my words. I will only turn on you if you turn on me first. If I am to die, I will drag you down with me. Miss Lu, your life is worth more than mine, right?!”
Lu Qin hated to be threatened the most but she had no choice now. A long time ago, her informants told her that Quan Yu had been in connection with a woman called Zhao Jing. Lu Qin thus suspected this Zhao Jing was Quan Yu’s mistress. So she called a hit on Zhao Jing. Only later did Lu Qin find out Zhao Jing was actually Quan Yu’s informant and her death had been used by another party…
“Give me your account number, I will wire you the money now! You won’t get a cent less than you deserve!”
“Girl, do you think I’m dumb? If I give you my account, you’d send people to arrest me. I want to do this in person. Bring cash. After the transaction is made, we will go our separate ways.”
Lu Qin frowned deeply. She had no idea how her identity was exposed but she did know that Gong Pei was dangerous because he had nothing to lose. If this was found out by her Brother Quan Yu, then her image would collapse and her effort would go to waste!
After a silence, she sighed. Then she said with a malicious smile.. “Time and place.”
