Chapter 572: Chu Ning's Threat

"Luosen, calling this late, are you fucking sick?" Chu Ning had been fuming after Chen Yang hung up on her; she had finally calmed down a bit, only to be jerked awake by Luosen's phone call.

At that moment she was like a hysterical lioness, wishing she could tear Luosen on the other end of the line to shreds.

After hanging up, Luosen also realized the time was wrong and immediately explained: "Xiao Chu, don't be angry, I have some good news to tell you."

Chu Ning snapped angrily: "Just tell your wife the good news, why bother me! You're really sick!"

Luosen was struck by her words and instantly regretted it. With such good news, he should have shared it with his wife—how did he end up calling this crazy woman?

A mistake! A mistake!

"Sorry, then I won't disturb your rest."

Luosen quickly hung up. But Chu Ning's call came through again shortly after.

"Luosen, are you sick like Chen Yang? You woke me up and then said nothing. Believe it or not, I'll smash your company tomorrow."

"No, no, no, let me speak..." Luosen immediately blurted out how Chen Yang had helped him earn four hundred thousand dollars in the US stock market that night.

"Is he really that good?" Chu Ning on the other end of the phone instantly regained her composure. Four hundred thousand US dollars is no small sum—that's over 3.3 million renminbi. And Chen Yang achieved it in just over two hours.

Someone like that truly has the capital to be arrogant!

"Chu Ning, if you don't believe me, I'll show you his stock account tomorrow." Luosen said excitedly: "His trading skill is the most amazing among the stock experts I know. Although the profit isn't high, every stock he picks can be sold at its peak. It's like he has a heavenly eye!"

"Send me the account details right now." After Luosen piqued her curiosity, Chu Ning instantly lost any desire to sleep.

"What's the rush? I'll show you tomorrow, same thing!" Luosen and Chu Ning have known each other for five years; he knows her stock-trading ability well. He doesn't want his money ruthlessly squandered by her.

Seeing Luosen guarding himself, Chu Ning immediately threatened: "If you don't give it to me tonight, believe it or not, I'll come smash your company tomorrow."

Luosen knew that once this woman went berserk, no one could stop her, so he had to compromise. "You can have it, but don't just buy stocks randomly. It's not easy for me to earn a bit of money, and I still have to support my wife and kids..."

"Alright, I'll just look, not buy!" Chu Ning cut off Luosen's nagging immediately. A grown man who constantly brings up his wife and kids—she really admires herself for having tolerated him for five years.

Upon hearing that, Luosen immediately told Chu Ning his account and password, then afterwards reminded her again: "My dear sister, please don't act impulsively!"

Chu Ning hung up directly. She got up, dressed quickly, then swiftly opened her computer and logged into Luosen's US stock account.

Then she didn't sleep a wink that night.

After dawn, she drove straight to the hotel where Chen Yang was staying and woke him from his sleep.

"Miss Chu, are you sick? I already told you I won't cooperate with you!"

Seeing Chen Yang flustered after being woken by her, Chu Ning felt immense satisfaction. If it weren't for Chen Yang, she wouldn't have been kept awake all night by Luosen's meddling. Now she finally got her revenge.

"Chen Yang, if you refuse to cooperate with me, believe it or not, all your projects in Goat City will go bust."

"So what if it goes bust? There are plenty of cities nationwide—do I really can't survive without one Goat City?" Although Chen Yang valued the Goat City market, he also refused to be threatened by a brainless woman. He shoved Chu Ning out of his room without hesitation, then went back to bed to catch more sleep.

However, he hadn't been asleep long when the guest room door was flung open.

Chen Yang hadn't expected that a guest room in a five-star hotel could be opened so easily; he jumped out of bed, furious.

Then he saw Chu Ning walk in with two uniformed police officers.

"Officer, he raped me."

Chen Yang never expected Chu Ning would retaliate with such a despicable tactic; he immediately told the officers: "Officer, don't listen to her nonsense. The hotel has surveillance that can prove my innocence."

"Sir, you'd better come with us to the police station." The taller of the two officers stepped forward sternly in front of Chen Yang; if he didn't cooperate, the officer would resort to force.

"Officer, may I make a phone call first?"

"Come with us to the police station first; once we clear up the facts, we'll naturally let you make a call."

Chen Yang immediately realized they were probably in league with Chu Ning. He immediately said: "Then may I speak with Miss Chu?"

The two officers, upon hearing that, turned their gazes toward Chu Ning, which only strengthened Chen Yang's suspicion.

"How about it? Cooperate with me, or go to the police station?" Chu Ning looked at Chen Yang with a smug grin; as long as he refused, she still had more tricks up her sleeve.

Chen Yang stared coldly at Chu Ning and said: "Miss Chu, I'm a guest invited by Vice Governor Luo. By doing this, aren't you afraid of offending Vice Governor Luo?"

Chu Ning burst out laughing: "Chen Yang, there's always a higher heaven and greater people. Do you really think having Vice Governor Luo's backing lets you run rampant in Goat City?"

Seeing that invoking Vice Governor Luo still didn't intimidate Chu Ning, Chen Yang realized he had offended someone as troublesome as Wang Haifeng.

"A wise man doesn't suffer present losses," he immediately said: "Miss Chu, is there a peaceful resolution possible between us?"

Seeing Chen Yang's change in attitude, Chu Ning immediately had the two officers leave the guest room.

"Chen Yang, the wise adapt to the times. As long as you're willing to help me make money, I'll absolutely not shortchange you."

"Fine! Since you're just after money, I have no problem." Chen Yang smiled at Chu Ning; he just wanted to first placate this crazy woman, then look for a chance to escape after she left. As long as he got back to Xingcheng, even if she had vast powers, she couldn't touch him.

Worst case, he'd just never come to Goat City again.

Seeing Chen Yang agree to help her make money, Chu Ning was overjoyed. "Since you have no objections, let's head back to Fragrance Pavilion!"

Chen Yang hadn't expected her to still be on guard; he immediately said: "Miss Chu, I still have a few things to settle at my company—could I make a quick call to my staff?"

Chu Ning sneered: "Chen Yang, do you think I don't know what's on your mind? Or just come with me honestly! As for your subordinates, I'll have Luosen inform them."

After saying that, she picked up her phone and dialed a number. A moment later, the two officers from before walked back in, holding a paper bag which they shoved over Chen Yang's head.

Chen Yang suddenly regretted letting his bodyguards follow Shen Anna back to Xingcheng.
