The aloof beauty always has weak legs; the crazy boss is too ruthless.

Chapter 141 Deception
Forty minutes later, Yan Song drove to the location sent by Mu Sen and saw that he was not far from the Special Economic Zone family compound. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "I find you to be quite something. You're right here in the Special Economic Zone family compound, and instead of asking Brother Gu to cheer you on, you asked me to pick you up?"

Lin Chen ignored him, opened the car door and got into his car. Without saying a word, he lit a cigarette and reminded him as he exhaled the smoke, "I know you have the most gossipy mouth, but I'm in a bad mood today, so you'd better not mess with me."

Yan Song glanced at him: "Even a stray dog ​​on the street can tell you're in a bad mood. Do you think I'm blind?"

The car started, and I asked him where he wanted to go: "Want to go to my place for a few drinks? Or should I take you to a hotel near the airport?"

"You want to get rid of me so soon?"

"Didn't Brother Gu tell you before that you'd better go back to Hong Kong to lay low for a while and wait until everyone has forgotten about this before you go back to Beicheng?"

Lin Chen gave a cold laugh. "Later, please tell Gu Shi that if Shang Junyan doesn't see me for a day, he can forget about me returning to Hong Kong. If he wants to be the next District Chief, he has to do what I said before."

"No, aren't you making things difficult for Junyan?" Yan Song complained to him while driving, "Hua Dongchen really can't be touched right now! If we touch him, the Lu family will also be implicated. It's not that I'm trying to speak well of Uncle Lu, but he is at least Lu Siqi's biological father. If we really put him in jail, do you think the Lu family will still treat you well?"

"When has the Lu family ever treated me well?"

When Sheng Huai'an arrived in Beicheng, the Lu family arranged accommodation for him, and he often ate with the Lu family.

I've heard that the two families intend to become in-laws and want Lu Siqi to marry Sheng Huai'an.

Lin Chen hadn't taken it seriously at first, but today he witnessed Lu Siqi wearing the diamond ring given to her by Sheng Huai'an, and she was also very attentive to Sheng Huai'an. He heard that they even went out for hot pot together today.

I've known her for so long and made her feel comfortable so many times! Yet I've never eaten a meal she treated me to.

Sheng Huai'an was lucky; he did nothing, yet he got everything.

……

Sheng Tang Club.

Sheng Tang Club is an entertainment venue under Sheng Tang International, and the general investor behind it is actually Shang Junyan.

Most of Shang Junyan's money as district head came from the Lin family in Gangcheng.

Therefore, strictly speaking, the largest shareholder of this club is Lin Chen.

Seeing Lin Chen call in several female public relations staff and have the waiter open a whole case of liquor, Yan Song sneaked out and called Gu Shi. "Brother Gu, why don't you come over? I really can't control Lin Chen. I'm afraid he'll get drunk and cause a scene in the family compound."

Everyone knows that Lin Chen not only has a powerful background, but also a strong temper; he doesn't submit to anyone except Gu Shi.

A dozen minutes later, Gu Shi arrived at the Sheng Tang Club and saw Lin Chen playing cards with several female public relations staff, with empty wine bottles scattered on the ground.

Gu Shi gave Yan Song a wink, signaling him to send the PR person away.

After Gu Shi and Lin Chen were left alone in the spacious VIP room, Yan Song quietly went out and closed the door.

Seeing Lin Chen half-lying on the sofa, disheveled and looking dejected, she knew that deep down, what he cared about most was not compromise.

Since it involves two countries, he would shoulder everything for the greater good, even accepting a live-streamed lethal injection as an explanation to the people of both nations. What he truly cared about was that the Lu family was going to form a marriage alliance with the Sheng family.

"I know what you're thinking." Gu Shi walked over, took the cigarette from Lin Chen's hand and stubbed it out, then smoothed out his white shirt. "As a soldier, you must always pay attention to your image and not give others anything to gossip about."

"I'm no longer a soldier." Lin Chen turned his head and looked at him indifferently: "I am Lin Chen now, a businessman who will make money and avenge wrongs."

"What you said was just said in anger." Gu Shi sat on the coffee table, calmly picked up the wine bottle, poured a glass of wine, and drank it all in one gulp. "It is Lu Siqi who is going to marry Sheng Huai'an, not the Lu family who is going to form a marriage alliance with the Sheng family."

Upon hearing the truth, Lin Chen gave a helpless bitter smile. He wanted to say something, but it all got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't get the words out.

“I had Nuan Nuan test Lu Siqi, but she was determined not to turn back. She said she liked Sheng Huai'an, and that Sheng Huai'an’s temperament and personality, as well as the relationship between the Lu and Sheng families, made them a perfect match.”

"To hell with being a perfect match!" Lin Chen couldn't help but blurt it out.

Gu Shi knew that he couldn't accept the truth in a short time, but he still didn't want to deceive him. It was better to cut off his thoughts now than to suffer a long pain. "Lu Siqi does like Sheng Huai'an. The reason Sheng Huai'an came to Beicheng this time was because Lu Siqi contacted him and asked him to come."

“Lu Siqi has actually maintained contact with Sheng Huai’an since she left Hong Kong, but you just didn’t notice.”

After hearing this, Lin Chen took a sip of his drink, his face full of sarcasm: "So I'm the idiot."

Lying back on the sofa, he recalled every little thing he had done with Lu Siqi over the past six months. He had always thought that Lu Siqi only had him in her heart, but he never expected that she would still have a trick up her sleeve: "Lu Siqi can still play this trick on me. So I'm the joke."

"Lin Chen," Gu Shi looked at him seriously, "a forced relationship is never sweet."

"Whether it's sweet or not doesn't matter to me." He poured himself another glass of wine, took a deep breath, and laughed, "What I want is the thrill of snatching the melon. I don't care about its taste at all. Even if it's bitter, I'll just throw it away."

"You think I care about the melon?" He pointed to his heart, his eyes incredibly sinister. "What I really care about is people making a fool of me!"

The veins on the back of his hand bulged as he thought of all the moments he had shared with Lu Siqi, her later gentleness and understanding...

It turns out they were all fake.

These were all excuses she made up to leave him.

"Didn't she want to marry Sheng Huai'an?" Lin Chen stood up and straightened his white shirt. "Tell her for me that if she wants to marry, she can. Don't worry about me trying to steal her away. I, Lin Chen, have no shortage of women. Lu Siqi isn't at the point where I would go crazy for her."

“But public matters are public matters, and private matters are private matters. The person who betrayed our list of undercover agents was her father, Lu Mingyuan, but in the end, it was I, Lin Chen, who took the blame. I am not satisfied with this at all.”

Gu Shi asked him, "What will it take to convince you? Do you have to take Lu Mingyuan to court and make this public?"

"Have Lu Siqi come to talk to me personally."

After saying that, Lin Chen left the private room without looking back.
