Chapter 148 Repudiation
Upon seeing the document showing that Hua Dongchen had registered another company in someone else's name and had someone else act as his agent to transport drugs across the border of Country Z, Lin Chen smiled smugly: "Serves you right. I told you back then that we should have detonated explosives to kill that old fox back in Bangnan, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what happened, you've been tricked by him again."

Lu Siqi carefully reviewed the transaction details and noticed that several transactions were related to Yu Hui, the eldest son of the Yu family. "Wasn't Yu Hui arrested?"

Lin Chen snorted coldly: "The Yu family's influence in Hong Kong should not be underestimated. After Yu Hui was transferred to Hong Kong, he never spent a single day in prison. This kid is just as bad as his cousin Hua Yin. They are both troublemakers."

"So what should we do next?" Lu Siqi asked.

Lin Chen threw down the documents, turned around and walked towards the door: "This is your special zone's business. I'm just a vulgar businessman. You two continue talking, I'm leaving."

Knowing that he was still resentful about what happened before, Gu Shi made a promise: "Uncle Lu has already confessed. The next thing to investigate is the Yu family. Your marriage to Yu Nian is approaching. I called you here today to tell you that it's best if your Lin family doesn't get involved in a marriage alliance with the Yu family, otherwise you'll be dragged down by them again."

"I'm not stupid, there's no need to worry about me." Lin Chen chuckled at Gu Shi, "You should worry about yourselves. I'm going back to Hong Kong in a week anyway. It's much cleaner there than here in your Special Administrative Region. You should take care of your own internal affairs first."

His words were full of disdain and contempt for the special economic zone.

Lu Siqi knew he looked down on her. In the past, she might have disliked his arrogant attitude as a Hong Kong native. But after experiencing this mission, witnessing more corruption, and feeling the injustice, she understood why he was unwilling to stay in Beicheng anymore.

It's good that he went back to Hong Kong. After all, with his personality, if he had stayed in Beicheng, who knows what trouble he would have caused.

Now that the Lu family has been implicated, the only family that can help them is the Sheng family in Hong Kong. If she marries Sheng Huai'an, the two families can join forces, regain public support, and ease tensions between the Special Administrative Region and Hong Kong for a period of time.

Especially during this special period, the credibility of the Special Administrative Region has been questioned, and Gu Shi, the director of the General Bureau, is facing dismissal...

Therefore, Lu Siqi understood very well that marrying Sheng Huai'an would be the icing on the cake for herself, for the Special Economic Zone and Hong Kong, for the Lu family, for Gu Shi, and even for the Lin family.

“Sheng Huai’an has already proposed to me, and the Sheng family has set the wedding date for us before the end of the year.” Ignoring Lin Chen’s presence, Lu Siqi told Gu Shi her truest thoughts: “I think my wedding date with Sheng Huai’an should be moved up. Once my father is convicted, I will marry into the Sheng family and then use the Sheng family’s influence in Hong Kong to form a strong alliance with the Special Administrative Region. This way, our plan will be easier to implement.”

Unexpectedly, his words were met with a cold laugh from Lin Chen: "Do you think the Sheng family is some kind of saint? If something really happens to your father, Lu Mingyuan, the Sheng family will definitely dissolve the engagement with your Lu family immediately!"

Gu Shi looked at Lin Chen, "Your suggestion."

"I have no suggestions." Lin Chen didn't want to get involved with them anymore, but felt extremely depressed: "Anyway, if you push me too far, I, Lin Chen, will become the king of Hong Kong! At that time, not only the Yu family, but even the Sheng family, I won't let them stay in Hong Kong for even a day longer."

……

When Lu Siqi and Gu Shi left the special zone, they saw that Lin Chen, who had left earlier, was still standing at the gate. They couldn't help but wonder why he hadn't left yet.
After all, he had just made it very clear to Gu Shi that he would never interfere in the affairs of the special zone again.

"You've finished talking, right?" Lin Chen walked over and pointed to his Rolls-Royce, which was smashed all over and had a large hole smashed in the windshield. "Now let's talk about our business."

"..." Talking about their relationship?
Lu Siqi looked at Gu Shi beside her with a blank expression.

Gu Shi was completely bewildered.

Lin Chen scoffed dismissively: "Looking at Brother Gu won't help. Just tell me how you're going to compensate me."

"Pay you money?" Seeing the car behind him, Lu Siqi realized he meant she should pay for the damage to his car. "You, Lin Chen, are you short of money?"

"Whether I need money or not is my business, but it's your business, Lu Siqi's business, to pay compensation." Lin Chen didn't forget to drag Gu Shi into it, "Brother Gu, you can be a witness for me and prove that this woman smashed my car."

Gu Shi suddenly realized that the reason he was being so "unreasonable" was because he was deliberately targeting Lu Siqi, so he shook his head and said, "I didn't see anything."

"It's only been a few days since I last saw you, Brother Gu. I didn't expect your eyes to have gone blind. How about I personally bring you some eye supplements tomorrow?"

Gu Shi's face darkened: "Watch your words." Lin Chen shrugged and smiled, "Brother Gu, you just spoke up for this woman without even asking what happened, and you won't let me say you're blind? You were having quite a good time watching this woman smash the car, what? Now you're denying it?"

Gu Shi was speechless after being cornered.

Seeing that Gu Shi had been implicated by her, Lu Siqi felt deeply guilty. "Senior Brother Gu, you should go back first. I'll go with him to the 4S store to process the claim."

"I'll go with you." Gu Shi was really worried about her going alone; she could imagine how Lin Chen, that old fox, would bully her.

"No need, Senior Brother Gu. I'll take responsibility for my own actions. I did smash the car, so I should pay for it." Lu Siqi glanced at Lin Chen. "Let's go, I'll go to the 4S store with you first."

"That's more like it." Lin Chen tossed the car keys to her smugly. "You can drive the car."

Seeing that Lu Siqi had left with him, Gu Shi didn't dare to go over and stop her.

He thought to himself that this might be the opportunity for the two of them to reconcile.

After all, Lin Chen's eyes were still full of love when he looked at Lu Siqi, so he certainly wouldn't really make Lu Siqi pay money.

However, the truth is that Gu Shi was overthinking things.

Lin Chen had no intention of letting Lu Siqi off the hook; he was determined to make her pay.

198……

Upon seeing this number, Lu Siqi's heart skipped a beat, because she didn't have that much money in all her accounts combined.

"No money, huh?" Lin Chen crossed his legs, looking quite smug. "If you don't have money, just call your boyfriend Sheng Huai'an and borrow some. The Sheng family isn't short of this little bit of money."

"You borrow money right after starting a relationship? Only someone like you could come up with that idea."

"I'm too embarrassed to borrow from Sheng Huai'an?"

She would never have the nerve to do that.

Lu Siqi picked up the car repair bill, couldn't help but let out a long sigh, and decided not to confront him directly: "Can I owe you part of it first?"

"No." Lin Chen left her no room for negotiation, his expression extremely cold. "I'll be returning to Hong Kong in a few days, and it's uncertain when I'll be back in Beicheng."

"I can transfer the money to you."

"What if you try to renege on your debt later?"

"I'm going to renege on my debt?" As if she had heard a funny joke, Lu Siqi couldn't help but laugh. "If I really wanted to renege on your debt, I wouldn't have come all the way from the Special Economic Zone to the 4S store with you!"

“You came to the 4S store with me because you didn’t want to lose face in front of Gu Shi, but deep down you don’t want to lose money at all.” Picking up his phone, Lin Chen opened his contacts, found Sheng Huai’an’s number, and prepared to dial it.

Seeing that he was about to call Sheng Huai'an, Lu Siqi quickly snatched his phone away: "Lin Chen, are you crazy?!"

“You’re the one who’s sick, Lu Siqi.” Lin Chen raised his head indifferently. “You’re just too embarrassed to borrow money from Sheng Huai’an, right? I’ll talk to him for you, that’s all. Anyway, you’re going to marry him soon, it’s only natural for you to use your future husband’s money.”

Lu Siqi was so angry with him that she could barely find the words.
