Chapter 808: Treating Yourself as a Bargaining Chip!

Xu Haiyan left Zhang Lin's room.

Walking into her own room, she hurriedly dialed Li Na's number.

"The thing you wanted me to do, I have already finished."

Li Na did not expect Zhang Lin to take the bait so quickly!

As expected, her sixth sense was very accurate.

Zhang Lin's weakness is women!

"What about the video I told you to record!"

"Today was very sudden, it wasn't appropriate; I will find another opportunity later!"

"Hmm, County Magistrate Zhang is a sentimental person; he will not treat you unfairly. If you need my help with anything in the future, tell me anytime."

"Okay. Regarding my father's surgery, I still ask for your care."

"Rest assured, I have already arranged it. Your father can be hospitalized tomorrow."

Hanging up the phone, Xu Haiyan hid in the darkness and silently wiped away her tears.

She knew that what she was doing was wrong.

However, she had no better choice.

……

In order to complete the task assigned by Zhang Lin, Li Na dialed Liang Shiyu's number.

Liang Shiyu is the young master of Guohong Mining.

Guohong Mining and Hongling Group were once evenly matched in strength.

Now, Hongling Group has fallen into a crisis, and Guohong has become the sole dominant force!

However.

Li Na was also not sure if Liang Shiyu would agree to help her.

Seeing Li Na's call, Liang Shiyu was both somewhat surprised and carried a bit of joy.

The two were once classmates; later, Li Na went abroad, and they hadn't seen each other for several years.

"Princess Li, what are your orders?"

Li Na said in a low voice: "Are you free? I want to meet with you."

Liang Shiyu smiled faintly: "For you, I am always free."

Li Na's tone was decisive: "Give me an address, I will come to find you now."

Liang Shiyu nodded slightly: "I will send you the address in a moment."

Hanging up Li Na's call, a flash of gravity crossed Liang Shiyu's eyes.

He had heard about the Li family's affairs.

—Father Li Zhongling is suspected of serious violations of law and discipline, and he will likely spend the rest of his life in prison;

As for the younger brother Li Tian, he is burdened with a homicide case and, barring any accidents, will be sentenced to death.

Under the successive blows, Hongling Group plummeted from being one of the top-ranked enterprises in Yanzhou: the capital chain broke, projects were interrupted, and creditors came knocking one after another.

In this situation, Li Na taking over the enterprise undoubtedly faced a huge test.

About an hour later, Li Na met Liang Shiyu.

She was wearing a deep-V dress, outlining a large expanse of snow-white skin, with bright yet not vulgar makeup on her face; even the well-traveled Liang Shiyu couldn't help but feel his heart stir.

Li Na noticed Liang Shiyu's gaze; she had always been confident in her appearance.

When they were in school, Liang Shiyu had once pursued her fiercely.

At that time, she was determined to go abroad and rejected these feelings.

"What you can't get is always the best"—Li Na knew Liang Shiyu's hang-up well, so she was clear that now that she was in a predicament, as long as she asked, Liang Shiyu would be one of the few people willing to help her.

"Long time no see, you are still so beautiful."

"You have also become handsome, more mature than before." Li Na sat down opposite Liang Shiyu, her jade legs crossed.

"Haha, thanks for the compliment." Liang Shiyu poured a glass of red wine for Li Na and pushed it to her side, "Speak, what matter do you need my help with? As long as it is within my capabilities, I will certainly do my best."

Li Na smiled sweetly: "Old classmates meeting, must we talk about utilitarian things?"

Liang Shiyu put away his smile, his expression becoming serious: "How can this be considered utilitarian? Actually, I have always been paying attention to you. The Li family has had so many things happen, and I am very worried about you. But I understand your temperament and was afraid that taking the initiative to contact you would instead make you misunderstand."

Li Na couldn't help but re-examine Liang Shiyu: "You have indeed changed quite a bit. That's right, I came this time because I do have a request for you—I want to ask you to do one thing."

"Oh? What matter?"

"A Fluorite Mine was just discovered in Dayu County. In a few days, the geological team will enter the site. I hope you can arrange some people to stop them from entering."

A complex look flashed in Liang Shiyu's eyes: "Why do you want to do this?"

Li Na said, "I have a reason that I must do it! I cannot tell you for the time being."

Liang Shiyu nodded slightly: "Fine, this matter is left to me."

Li Na let out a sigh of relief: "I didn't expect you to be so straightforward."

Liang Shiyu laughed in spite of himself: "What, are you very touched?"

Li Na nodded: "I am quite touched; in this day and age, there aren't many people who can provide help in a time of need."

Liang Shiyu sighed with emotion: "Who hasn't encountered setbacks? I believe you will definitely be able to pull through."

Li Na shook her head with a bitter smile: "It is too difficult for Hongling Group to rise again."

Liang Shiyu knew the cause and effect of Hongling Group's incident and asked: "I heard that Hongling Group offended the Zhao Group? That guy Zhao Hui has been in high spirits recently, and he is doing things more and more high-profile."

"What is Zhao Hui? The real culprit is someone else."

Liang Shiyu asked curiously: "Who is it?"

Li Na said in a low voice: "The Executive Deputy County Magistrate of Dayu County, Tang Ye."

Liang Shiyu had never heard this name before and asked skeptically, "How much of a stir can a Deputy Division Level Official possibly cause?"

Li Na smiled bitterly, "My father and my brother were the same as you at first, underestimating his cunning. This person is an Exchange Cadre transferred from Huai Province; he has connections at both the provincial and municipal levels, and he is extremely cunning and difficult to deal with. If you run into him in the future, you must be extra careful."

Liang Shiyu silently committed the name "Tang Ye" to memory: "Thank you for the warning. Would you like me to help you vent this frustration?"

Li Na was stunned for a moment, then sighed with emotion: "This is a blood feud of mine; I must take revenge myself for it to feel satisfying. I appreciate your intentions, but I don't need you to intervene."

Liang Shiyu's eyes lit up, full of admiration: "I like your spirit."

Li Na avoided Liang Shiyu's gaze and changed the subject: "Shiyu, I'm not in a good state right now, and I know how you feel about me. Let me take some time to recover and get through this period before I consider matters of the heart. Of course, if there is anything you need me to do right now, I can satisfy you."

Liang Shiyu paused, then shook his head with a bitter smile: "You still underestimate me. Rest assured, I will give you time, and I will use my actions to make you truly accept me from your heart."

Li Na's eyes shimmered; she stood up on her own initiative, walked toward Liang Shiyu, and pressed a light kiss to his forehead.

By the time Liang Shiyu reacted, Li Na had already walked to the door and was waving a light goodbye to him.

Liang Shiyu silently lit a cigarette and took a deep drag.

Amidst the swirling smoke, a cold expression curled the corners of his mouth.

So many years had passed, yet his infatuation with Li Na had not diminished in the slightest.

Li Na manipulated this point with precision.

In this relationship.

He was both like prey and like a hunter.

Interesting!

……

Li Na sat inside the car.

There were not many people on the street.

Under the streetlights, the scenery was blurred, and light and shadow flowed.

She had been studying Tang Ye's resume recently.

Because she knew that to deal with someone, one must know oneself and know the enemy.

Tang Ye's resume could be described as impeccable.

Every step he took was very solid.

What was even more terrifying was that anyone who had a magnetic field connection with him would be influenced by him.

If they were a friend, their official career would go smoothly.

If they were an enemy, they would be sent in to operate a sewing machine.

Dealing with Tang Ye required careful planning.

Otherwise, it would be very easy to become a stepping stone for Tang Ye's climb upward.

Li Na did not like Liang Shiyu.

But for the sake of revenge, she could treat herself as a bargaining chip!
