Honest Beta gets scammed

Xiang Nan's anger flared up again, and he blamed all the mistakes on Liu Yu and Li Qing.

Just as he was filled with anger and preparing to turn back, a slightly indifferent male voice rang out from not far behind him.

"southward?"

Hearing his name suddenly startled Xiang Nan. He turned around abruptly and looked in the direction of the sound. He saw a man in a suit leaning against the wall of the corridor, looking at him.

Xiang Nan paused for a moment, then looked the other person up and down.

The man looked somewhat familiar, but he couldn't quite place where he had seen him before.

However, he didn't have time to think about these things now. Xiang Nan put away his impatience, bowed slightly, and spoke in a soft and gentle voice.

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?"

His etiquette at the club was excellent; judging from his appearance alone, it's hard to imagine that he is that kind of person.

The man looked at him, a slight smile playing on his lips, then strode over and walked slowly to Xiang Nan.

Do you know Li Qing?

Li Qing?

Upon hearing the name, Xiang Nan's expression shifted slightly. He lowered his eyes, concealing his emotions, and replied softly, "He's my colleague. May I ask... what brings you here?"

The other party did not answer his question, which made Xiang Nan feel uneasy.

Just then, a hand reached out in front of him.

He was wearing a watch on his wrist.

The watch shimmered with a cool luster, its dial intricate and precise, with countless tiny gears quietly turning beneath the sapphire crystal, revealing its exclusivity in the smallest details.

Although Xiang Nan couldn't name the brand, he could tell the watch was valuable.

Not quite understanding what the other person meant, Xiang Nan looked up in confusion.

The other person looked at him, their smile deepening, but what they said made Xiang Nan's heart skip a beat.

"I find him annoying and don't want to see him here again." The man paused, took off his watch, and handed it to Xiang Nan. "Could you help me put this watch in his locker?"

Xiang Nan's gaze froze instantly.

He wasn't stupid; he understood what the other person meant immediately.

He didn't speak immediately. The man seemed to see through his hesitation, chuckled, and added, "Of course, I'll give you a small reward."

As he spoke, he took out an envelope from the inside pocket of his suit. It wasn't very thick, but you could tell from the feel that it contained a wad of cash.

reward.

Xiang Nan's eyes flickered.

He looked at the man in front of him, then at the priceless watch and the envelope containing the money.

Suddenly I remembered why this man looked familiar.

When I was getting closer to Mr. He, I saw this face several times in the crowd around him.

This person always stood at a distance from Mr. He, with a smile on his face, not saying much, but his presence was quite noticeable.

In that case, it seems there's an explanation for why the other person could call me by my name.

In just two seconds, countless thoughts flashed through Xiang Nan's mind. Without further hesitation, he reached out and took the watch.

Seeing that he accepted the watch, the man's smile showed a hint of satisfaction.

He casually shoved the envelope containing the money into Xiang Nan's hand and said, "After it's done, there's the other half. Oh, by the way, you should know there are security cameras in the staff break room, right?"

Xiang Nan gripped the envelope and watch in his hand tightly and nodded.

"I know, but... the surveillance cameras broke down the day before yesterday, and I didn't report it."

Upon hearing this, the man raised an eyebrow, a flash of approval crossing his eyes.

"very good."

Without saying anything more, he turned and walked away, his figure quickly disappearing at the end of the corridor.

Xiang Nan stood alone, a cold platinum watch in one hand and a warm cash envelope in the other. His eyes were dark and unfathomable, and his heart was beating slightly faster because of what he was about to do.

He seemed to understand something.

Indeed, it's perfectly normal for an Alpha like Mr. He to be surrounded by admirers. This person in front of him is clearly one of them, and a possessive and cunning one at that.

Li Qing, Li Qing, you can't blame me for this.

Xiang Nan sneered inwardly.

You insisted on provoking the wrong people, trying to get what you don't deserve. It's no wonder you're being targeted. We're not friends, and I don't need to risk my money for you.

He stuffed the envelope and watch into his pocket, feeling the solid weight inside. The unease he felt was quickly replaced by a sense of vengeful pleasure. He then picked up the bucket and turned to walk towards the worktable.

……

Footsteps echoed in the corridor; perhaps the plan had been successfully executed, for the owner of the footsteps wore a look of pleasure.

As he was about to turn a corner, he bumped into someone.

He Xiangchen smiled, his eyes slightly upturned, and his gaze lightly fell on the person in front of him.

"Yang An, where did you go?"

When his name was called, Yang An's breath hitched.

But he quickly composed himself, put on a polite smile again, and went to greet her.

"Mr. He, I went to the restroom. Why did you come out?"

"I'm also going to the restroom."

He Xiangchen smiled and spoke. He stepped forward, gently patted Yang An's shoulder, and then left.

The movement was very light, yet it made Yang An's body stiffen slightly.

He turned to watch He Xiangchen's departing figure, his smile vanished, and he raised his hand to cover his heart, which was pounding violently with tension.

He Xiangchen, when did you get here?

Did he see or hear the deal he just made with Xiang Nan?

Yang An's eyes trembled. He desperately tried to recall He Xiangchen's expression just now. Those eyes, which were always smiling, seemed no different from usual.

I don't think so.

If they had seen it, they wouldn't have reacted this way.

Yang An took a deep breath, straightened his coat, and turned to walk towards the private room.

Meanwhile, He Xiangchen strolled leisurely down the corridor.

The corners of his mouth curled up higher and higher, until they almost reached his ears, and his eyes gleamed with an excited yet wicked light.

He not only saw it, but also heard it clearly.

He was there the whole time, from the moment Yang An stopped Xiang Nan until they completed that dirty deal.

However, he has no intention of being a messenger of justice.

On the contrary, he thought this idea...

Absolutely fantastic!

Is this how you deal with Li Qing? That country bumpkin still dares to be so arrogant! Didn't he want to resign?!

OK!

Satisfy you!

Then first, let him take the blame for a petty thief, then extort a huge sum of money from this poor bastard, and finally make sure he gets out of Shengxin and never appears in front of him again!

He Xiangchen could almost picture Li Qing's expression at that moment.

Panic, helplessness, grievance, and maybe she'll even cry in the end?

Haha.

He Xiangchen walked into the restroom in a very good mood, his whistling echoing softly in the empty space.
