Chapter 293: Chapter 294 The Man Who Stabbed Sister Tiger In The Back

Dongfang Lianren looked at me, and then at Dong Xiaoye. Although we changed the subject to discuss our business, her expression clearly showed a trace of relief.

Sister Tiger and I looked at each other and gave each other a thumbs up tacitly. Of course, we were doing it behind Dongfang little brat.

Deliberately not talking about topics related to Dongfang Lianren was exactly to relieve her tense mind. Because she was physically and mentally exhausted, she was very distrustful of others and felt very insecure. She needed a little time and a little space to gradually calm herself down.

“Little Chu, guess who is the guy that stabbed me in the back.” Sister Tiger said as she pulled the tab of the coke can. Because of the shake just now, a burst of foam immediately appeared. She hurriedly lowered her head to suck the flowing foam into her mouth, then stuck out her small red tongue and licked her wet pretty lips.

Why did a slovenly behavior give such a different feeling when it was done by a beautiful woman? It was not indecent, but sexy and seductive. It was not elegant, but it was playful and cute…

Sister Tiger smacked her lips, glanced at me, and said, “I am asking you to take a guess, why are you staring at me? Quick, I want to see if you can guess who the person is.”

“Huh? Oh, oh,” I hurriedly withdrew my gaze, secretly scolding myself for staring at her lips for a long time. Feeling guilty and embarrassed, I turned my face away and leaned against the table. In order to conceal my gaffe, I frowned and put on a very serious look, and analyzed, “from the way you asked, it sounds like we all know this person. But there are only a few people who have problems with me. Zhang Mingjie is one of them, but I am not sure if Zhang Mingjie was held as a hostage that night as well. The second person I can think of is Liu Xiaoshgeng, he has misunderstood my relationship with Mo Fei, so it is also very likely to be him as well…”

After saying this, I suddenly remembered what Mo Yizhi said to me in the morning. If I could negotiate the cooperation deal on behalf of Fengchang Group, not only would Fengchang Group be able to get the deal, but they would also be able to save 20% of the investment. Then, as Fengchang Group’s major competitor, Liu Xiaosheng had even more reasons to cause trouble to me.

“That’s it?” Sister Tiger’s mocking expression told me that it was not Zhang Mingjie and Liu Xiaosheng.

“Of course not just those two,” I said, “as the host, The Long family concealed the information about the threatening letter and insisted on making the birthday party bigger and more lively. They owe all the guests a reasonable explanation. Since there is no way they would be able to give a reasonable explanation, they had to shift all the responsibilities onto Xu Heng. However, Xu Heng ran away, Long Xiaotian died at the birthday banquet, and the Long family is currently mainly focusing on dealing with inheritance, they don’t have time to deal with the criticism from the outside world, so they need a way to distract people’s attention, and unfortunately, my ‘suspicious’ relationship with Xu Heng is just what they need…”

I took a sip of Coke, breathed out a comfortable sigh, and continued, “of course, there are also other people who want to distract the public’s attention. After all, when all men were stripped naked, and when all women were taken advantage of by those gunmen, I was the only one who could sit on a chair drinking champagne while watching them being humiliated. If I were them, I would also be angry. But the only people I can think of are Zhang Mingjie, Liu Xiaosheng, and the Long family. After all, I don’t know any other people… Oh right, do you still remember that I hit a butler that day, right? It was said that that guy is the cousin of the second daughter-in-law of the Long family. Women are all petty-minded people, so maybe it is her who wants to cause trouble to me. Hehe.”

Dong Xiaoye stared at me for a long time before sighing, “actually, I’ve never thought you were a stupid man, but I also never expect you to be this smart. Your guess is right, the person who stabbed us in the back is Long Zili’s wife Qiao Mei…”

“Who?!” I gasped in shock. You had to be kidding me. I only said the last sentence as a joke, but I didn’t expect that it was really her… In fact, the people I suspected the most were still Liu Xiaosheng and Long Yifan, “Who is Long Zili?”

“The younger brother of Long Yifan, the second young master of the Long family.” Dong Xiaoye smiled, “Captain Lin refused to tell me and forbade me to return to the station because he was afraid that I might hear about this or bump into the Long family. He also thought that the reason why they wanted to do this was to distract the focus…”

“Then why did he suddenly call you back today?” I asked in confusion.

“This is where I find it strange too,” Dong Xiaoye frowned, “I heard from my colleague that Long Zili and his wife often went to the station in the last a few days to ask for an explanation, but today, no one knew what happened to them, they actually asked to see me, and their purpose of wanting to see me was… to apologize to me.”

“Apologize to you?” I was even more surprised.

“Yeah,” Dong Xiaoye said, “Long Yifan was also there, and he severely reprimanded Long Zili in front of my face. The three people then said a lot of nice words to flatter me, it was so cringy that I almost threw up. They even asked me to tell you that they had booked a table at Shangri-La Hotel tonight. They wanted to invite you to dinner and apologize to you in person. I didn’t know if you would want to accept the invitation or not, so I only told them that I would pass the message. But… from the way they behaved, it seemed like they were quite sincere about the invitation…”

I didn’t know why the Long family would suddenly change their attitudes toward me, but the more Dong Xiaoye said, the more I felt like Dong Xiaoye was deceived by them. I asked cautiously, “Sister Xiaoye, you… are here to persuade me for them?”

“Who, who said it? !” Dong Xiaoye’s panic expression clearly betrayed her, “I… I…”

Sister Tiger hesitated, her eyes flickered as if she had something to say but didn’t dare to say it.

Before leaving the company, Mo Yizhi said, “don’t trust others lightly. Although I have many reasons to keep you in Fengchang, the main reason is still for Fei’er. However, for some people, you are probably just a tool for them to exchange benefits. You need to be careful with these people…”

So did he mean this?

Of course, Dong Xiaoye would definitely not be this kind of person. Therefore, the Long family must have done something to her. I asked with a wry smile, “Sister Xiaoye, tell me the truth, why do you want to help them to persuade me?”

What I said was just a test. I wanted to confirm the true meaning of Mo Yizhi’s words. But I didn’t expect that Dong Xiaoye’s expression suddenly became stiff. She turned her red face slowly and said timidly, “Long Yifan said that as long as you accept their apology, he is willing to build a new school with more advanced facilities to Sister Danchen…”

A new school with more advanced facilities? So it was this. The school and those children were exactly the weakness of Dong Xiaoye. No wonder she would come to persuade me on behalf of them.

“Little Chu, I know I shouldn’t force you, but think about it, you just need to accept their apology, not only will you not lose anything, but it will also make you look magnanimous. Moreover, we will also get a brand new school, it is not a bad deal at all…”

“It’s not magnanimous,” Dongfang Lianren, who was slumping on the sofa waiting for food like a living dead, suddenly sat up and interjected. “It’s greed. Not accepting reward without merit. Sister Xiaoye, Elder Brother Nan will not accept. He always thinks that he is an upright person.”

Dongfang little brat knew me well. Although there was obvious mockery in her eyes, what she said was right. Then this little girl frowned and said solemnly, “Moreover, not all businessmen are kind people, especially the Long family. Building a school just so Elder Brother Nan can forgive them? I don’t believe it. They must be doing it for other purposes…”

“Go away, you little bratty girl hasn’t even graduated from high school yet, what do you know?” Dong Xiaoye didn’t believe it, “I’m just a lowest rank policewoman, and your elder brother Nan is even worse. He even lost his…”

“AHEM!”

Dong Xiaoye was dazed. Seeing me winked my eyes at her repeatedly, she suddenly realized that she had almost exposed that I had left Fengchang.

She hurriedly changed her words and said, “he is just an office clerk with the lowest position in Fengchang Group. We are the same. We have no money and power, what can they possibly get from us?”

What Dong Xiaoye said made sense. To put it bluntly, we are just ordinary people. What could they possibly get from us?
