Chapter 249: Lin Sui Is Not a Thing

The person on the other end asked, "Apart from her, is there anyone around her whose words carry particular weight?"

Feng Liu replied, "Does the construction foreman count?"

"……"

Fuxi stood at the airport, looking at the reply from Feng Liu in the chat box, the word "speechless" practically plastered on his face.

"Young man, don't do things that will ruin your own reputation," he reminded Feng Liu.

Feng Liu is quite famous now; to have only scouted this much information after an entire day, isn't that a bit too perfunctory?

Feng Liu: "Big Boss Fuxi, you know, Lin Sui and I are as close as siblings."

"I've been watching her since there were only two people in her Live Streaming Room; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say I watched her grow up."

"You asking me to investigate her makes my conscience suffer greatly."

"So... this matter will require extra payment."

Feng Liu had been thinking about whether to dig up dirt on Fuxi to make money off him.

After all, watching him give A Fu pocket money in the hundreds of millions every day is truly enough to make one green with envy.

Now that he has come knocking on his door, giving him a chance to earn his money, he won't let Fuxi off so easily!

Fuxi knew this guy would investigate anyone for money.

Of those who came out of Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room, how many aren't greedy for money?

"Tell me first, are you sure you only got this much information today?" He always felt that Feng Liu wasn't taking it seriously at all.

Feng Liu: "Of course! I just didn't expect to run into Lin Sui; that's not my fault."

He could have gone to ask the construction foreman and those people if he were here alone; besides Lin Sui, who else do they listen to?

It was going quite smoothly, but isn't it just bad luck that he ran into Lin Sui?

To avoid arousing her suspicion, he followed behind her all day, pretending to be a cameraman.

Only then did he find a chance to slip away alone.

The information obtained today is definitely limited.

Fuxi: "Then you'll probably be suspected by Lin Sui soon. Be careful yourself, clean it up, and don't let her discover the transaction between us."

"As for the money, we can talk about that later."

After all, Lin Sui isn't a fool either.

Just as this message was sent, Feng Liu merely glanced at it briefly before suddenly turning his head to look toward the corner of the wall.

"What kind of shady transaction are you two doing in secret here?"

Lin Sui leaned against the wall, the setting sun spilling onto her, casting a warm yellow halo over her.

Yet the words she spoke were exceptionally chilling.

Fuxi had reminded him too late after all; Lin Sui was already suspicious.

However, Feng Liu didn't feel too guilty, and even felt this wasn't a big deal.

"You've come at the right time, I have something to tell you."

He sold Fuxi out without a shred of mercy.

He even handed his phone to Lin Sui, letting her see the chat history between him and Fuxi.

Lin Sui took the phone to check while keeping her guard up against him.

Feng Liu's mouth twitched slightly, "What kind of wary look is that?"

Lin Sui: "I'm afraid that while I'm looking at your phone, you'll hit me from behind and say, 'Only dead people can look at my phone.'"

Lin Sui confirmed, "TV shows are all acted like that."

Feng Liu: "……I actually do want to hit you right now."

Lin Sui narrowed her eyes: "Then I also know a thing or two about martial arts."

Feng Liu sneered: "You might not know that the strength of an enraged adult man can take down two large black bears."

Lin Sui: "Want to try?"

Before Feng Liu could react, Lin Sui had already swung a fist toward him.

Feng Liu only felt a gust of wind from the punch hit his face.

Lin Sui's fist stopped at a distance of about five centimeters from his nose bridge.

She said with some surprise: "Oh, not bad; facing my fist, you were actually able to keep a straight face and not dodge at all."

As she spoke, she withdrew her hand.

The moment she withdrew her hand, Feng Liu's legs went soft, and he steadied himself against the nearby wall, leaning half his body weight onto it as his face turned pale in an instant.

He looked calm, but in reality, he had no moves left.

"That was just a meme, you jerk!" Feng Liu stammered.

How many times has he been "dealt with" in real life?

How could he possibly win a fight? To think she would use this method to scare him!

Lin Sui squatted in the corner, already silently flipping through his phone.

"Fuxi? Why did he ask you to investigate me?"

In the chat history, it only asked Feng Liu to check if Lin Sui knew any other big bosses she had never introduced to her fans.

After all, since Lin Sui started Live Streaming, almost everything she has done and everyone she knows has been mentioned in the Live Streaming Room.

Except for this hidden big boss...

"How would I know what these rich people are thinking?" Feng Liu also slid down the wall and sat on the ground next to Lin Sui.

"How about this, you leak a little information to me, and we'll split the money I get fifty-fifty," he negotiated with Lin Sui.

Lin Sui raised an eyebrow, "You really are even more crooked than me; you actually want to play both sides?"

Feng Liu: "This is called sharing the wealth, are you in or not?"

Lin Sui: "Of course I'm in, but aren't you afraid of being discovered by him?"

Feng Liu said earnestly: "He's far away abroad, what could he discover? As long as you don't say anything, he'll never find out."

"He may be abroad, but his brother is at the Company," Lin Sui reminded him.

Feng Liu smiled slightly, "Did you forget? He took leave when he went back yesterday; he's probably already with his brother by now."

"Besides, how can you be so sure that A Fu doesn't know about me investigating the big shot behind you? Maybe the two brothers are doing it together."

"If those two brothers are doing this kind of thing, we two sisters will do it right back! Wouldn't that be wonderful?"

"..." Lin Sui squinted at him, "You've joined the sisterhood too?"

Following Sister Gu Xing, another sister, Feng Liu, has been added.

"That's not the point!" Feng Liu said earnestly, "Don't you want to know why the two of them are investigating you?"

"..." How could she not want to?

That was the very first thing she asked just now.

Lin Sui turned her head to look at Feng Liu.

As it happened, Feng Liu was looking at her too.

As their eyes met, Lin Sui saw the dark circles under his eyes.

Just how long had he been pulling an all-nighter?

"No, how do you even know A Fu went abroad? With circles that heavy, did you crawl under his bed last night to eavesdrop?"

Lin Sui only just realized what he had said.

Even she hadn't received news that A Fu had gone abroad!

Feng Liu: "You don't check the group chat yourself, who are you blaming?"

Lin Sui: "..."

She took out her phone and glanced at it.

In the group chat she had muted, A Fu had said around seven in the morning that he was preparing to go to Fuxi's place to study for a few days, and asked if anyone in the group wanted him to buy anything for them.

That was what you called thoughtful.

Lin Sui fell silent and exchanged a look with Feng Liu once more.

Feng Liu looked away first and stated firmly: "This matter is one hundred percent related to A Fu."

Aside from matters concerning A Fu, Fuxi never cared about anything else.

This time, he suddenly crossed the line to investigate Lin Sui, and A Fu suddenly dared to go abroad; one look and you could tell these two brothers were "colluding."

"Sigh..." Lin Sui let out a sigh, "Are we really going to reach this point after all..."

Feng Liu: "Which point?"

Lin Sui: "My big brother and I turning into enemies."

Feng Liu: "... It's not that serious; I actually think it's because of something else."

"For example..." He tilted his head to look at Lin Sui again and spat two words from his mouth, "Jealousy."

Lin Sui: "? Jealous of my beauty?"

Feng Liu rolled his eyes, "Jealous of your delusions."

Lin Sui: "..."

He asked somewhat speechlessly: "Do you really not understand?"

Jealous of the big shot behind her, who could make her trust them so much, and who she protected so well that not a single slip-up had been revealed to this day.

"..."

Lin Sui was silent for a moment, then raised her hand to pat Feng Liu on the shoulder, changing the subject, "How much money did Jiaren Ge put up?"

Feng Liu gave an irrelevant answer: "... It's pathetic to fall in love with you."

To think there wasn't even a reaction.

Lin Sui blurted out, "You're not pathetic..."

Feng Liu looked at her, "How do you know I'm not?"

Lin Sui was shocked: "Holy crap?"

She immediately pulled back the hand she had rested on Feng Liu, "Good sister, don't scare me."

"What do you think?" Feng Liu tilted his head earnestly.

Lin Sui: "... Even if you say that, I'm not giving you a raise."

Feng Liu: "..."

"Go spend your whole life with money!"

Lin Sui cupped her hands in a salute, "I'll take your word for it! Your blessing is the most beautiful thing I've heard today."

"……………"

He was so angry he laughed.

ˉ

"What do you think he means by this? Why isn't he replying to me?"

After Fuxi picked up A Fu at the airport, he prepared to head home with a driver.

In the car, Fuxi kept patiently waiting for Feng Liu to reply to his message, but the other party seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth, not even replying with a '111'.

A Fu sat upright beside him and glanced at his phone.

Realizing something, Fuxi flipped his phone screen over and looked at him guardedly, "What are you looking at?"

Although they had chatted quite a bit yesterday, A Fu hadn't agreed in the end.

It was still him who secretly sought out Feng Liu.

He was not sure what A Fu's reaction would be if he knew about this.

A Fu: "……I saw it, you still went to him."

Fu Xi: "……"

He put down his phone, crossed his legs, and the oppressive aura of a CEO that he usually carried instantly emerged.

"Little brother, haven't I always been teaching you that if there's something you like, you must make your move in time?"

A Fu: "Lin Sui is not……"

Fu Xi: "Lin Sui is not a thing? Oh~ you're insulting her! I'm going to tell on you!"

The aura he had just put on broke in a second, and he took out his phone, preparing to tell on him.

A Fu twitched the corner of his mouth and ignored him.

He knew Fu Xi wouldn't do such a thing; after all…… he had just sent someone to investigate Lin Sui, and this was the very moment he should be keeping himself hidden.

Sure enough, Fu Xi was just saying it to scare him.

He put away his phone and gave a lopsided smile, "But I think your assessment is quite apt."

This Lin Sui is really not a thing!

Her willpower is actually so firm; look at how anxious it made his little brother.

A Fu: "……I didn't come over to hear you say these things."

"I understand." Fu Xi leaned back in the car seat and tossed his phone to him, "See for yourself. Since you all think that this person Feng Liu's methods are stronger than anything else, then just wait quietly for the results."

A Fu: "……"

He didn't come over to see this either!

But since the phone had already been handed over, such a tempting thing—if you don't look, you're not Chinese!

In the end, he couldn't resist, picked it up, and read the chat between Fu Xi and Feng Liu.

"I didn't expect this kid Feng Liu to actually ask for such a small amount of money; he only wanted a few million."

Fu Xi said from the side with slight smugness, "Since this little bit of money could get him to help you find out your mental block, why didn't you look for him sooner? You had to make me help you make a move."

"Sure enough, you simply cannot do without me, your older brother."

He felt he had done another good deed for his little brother.

After reading the record, A Fu looked at Fu Xi again with an expression that suggested he was looking at a mentally disabled person.

He retorted: "First, this is not my mental block, I didn't say I wanted to investigate. Second…… you are very likely……"

He suddenly couldn't bear to continue.

Fu Xi sat up straight, "Likely what?"

A Fu shook his head.

Fu Xi frowned, "What's the difference between saying half a sentence and taking a dump without wiping your ass?"

A Fu: "……"

Since he was so insistent, A Fu still said the answer that would sting his heart, "You are very likely to have already been sold out by Feng Liu."

Fu Xi: "?"

"Didn't you all say he was very reliable?" That was why he trusted this person so much!

A Fu: "He is reliable to Lin Sui, but to him…… who are you?"

They had never even met, only chatted a few times online; why would he think Feng Liu would help him investigate Lin Sui without reservation?

"You take yourself too seriously, brother." A Fu added a finishing blow.

Fu Xi: "……"

He really didn't know much about Feng Liu; every time he entered Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room, or saw some evaluations about him online, it was either sharp-tongued or reliable.

Fu Xi considered that he hadn't offended Feng Liu, so he wouldn't be sharp-tongued toward him, which left only "reliable."

Plus, he seemed to be just a small-time person with money who took any private job; with the amount of money he gave, Feng Liu had no reason to sell him out.

And yet, he still crashed here?

"Are you sure, little brother?" Fu Xi still wanted to struggle a bit.

A Fu: "The fact that he hasn't replied to you is the best proof."

Ding—

As soon as the words fell, Feng Liu's message came back.

Feng Liu: "I guarantee I won't let her know. I'll delete the records after we finish talking. Remember to send me the final payment."

"He replied!" Fu Xi breathed a sigh of relief, "You guessed wrong, little brother."

A Fu: "……Hmm."

He felt that Fu Xi had fallen into the trap set by Feng Liu and Lin Sui.

However, since Lin Sui didn't intend to expose it, and even planned to scam money together with Feng Liu, he had better not continue to warn him.

Fu Xi might have a little bit of cleverness, but he didn't understand Feng Liu and Lin Sui.

Crashing was inevitable.

Feng Liu had clearly already warned him.

When he first met Lin Sui, there were only two or three people in Lin Sui's Live Streaming Room, and he had been accompanying Lin Sui ever since.

This was not an ordinary bond!

If he bowed to money, he would be unworthy of such a long time of companionship.

"Cough……" A Fu was not good at lying; he avoided Fu Xi's gaze and changed the subject, "I hope that in these few days, we can not talk about this and talk about some Company matters, okay?"

Fu Xi came back to his senses and smiled, "Sure, I'll start a devilish training for you."

A Fu: "...... That won't be necessary."

"Brother has sent out all this money, you have to earn it back for brother! Otherwise, how are you going to help Lin Sui when you get home, right? Back to the Company!" Fuxi directly told the driver to change the route.

A Fu: "......"

Oh no, he had been caught by his weak spot.

Bringing up Lin Sui at every turn, how was he supposed to refute that?
