Chapter 136: Why Are You Hiding?

"Xu Siying, why do you still want to hide when you see me? What is the meaning of this? You don't answer calls, you don't reply to WeChat? How long do you intend to hide?" the dark-faced man asked, looking at Xu Siying with a playful expression.

"Wu Ge, I didn't mean to not answer the phone." Xu Siying revealed a smile that looked worse than crying: "I, I am..."

"You what you?" the big man said angrily: "In the first half of the year, you swindled me into investing in funds. I put in three million, and now it has shrunk by thirty percent—nearly one million! You better give me an explanation."

"Wu Ge, when you bought these, I told you about the risks, and I also suggested that you shouldn't put it all into funds, that you should invest in some futures or government bonds, but you wouldn't listen." Xu Siying's face turned pale.

"Bullshit! Anyway, I put all my money into that shitty fund of yours. Now that the money has shrunk so much, tell me what you're going to do about it." The big man sneered.

"Wu Ge, I can't help it either. The market is just like this now. You must have known the risks when you invested this money," Xu Siying said, trembling.

"You damn woman, be honest and stand still." One of the big man's subordinates grabbed Xu Siying by the hair and pulled it, forcing her to tilt her head back.

"Big Brother, look, this woman is actually quite pretty. Our place has been short of girls lately. How about..." the subordinate, still gripping Xu Siying's hair, brought her before the big man and chuckled: "Let her work as a hostess to pay off the debt?"

"That's not a bad suggestion. She has a bit of charm, and she's from a bank, too—this belongs to the high-quality crowd, not those girls who come out to hustle after graduating from middle school. She can fetch a good price." The big man's eyes lit up.

"No, Wu Ge! I'll find a way to make up for your losses. Please, let me go." Xu Siying was scared out of her wits. She knew what this big man did for a living; if she really got entangled with these people, she feared she would never be able to escape for the rest of her life.

"Do I look like someone who is short of that little bit of money?" The big man sneered: "Such a beautiful woman will definitely be able to create greater value here. Lao Er, take her back and have the madam at the club train her."

"Hehe, don't worry, Wu Ge. This woman is a slut; look, she isn't even wearing underwear. A total slut, she'll definitely be good in bed." The subordinate chuckled: "Let's go, come back with me."

"Chen Yu, help! Save me!" Xu Siying turned and ran toward Chen Yu, but she was yanked back by the big man pulling her hair.

"Chen Yu, save me! Help me call the police!" Xu Siying was truly terrified.

"Kid, you want to meddle in other people's business, huh?" The big man waved his hand, and his several subordinates immediately surrounded Chen Yu.

Several fierce-looking men surrounded Chen Yu, and a bald man pointed at him and said: "Kid, do you know who Wu Ge is? You want to meddle in other people's business?"

"No, no, I never thought about meddling. I'm not even close with her, really." Chen Yu shook his head repeatedly. He really wasn't close with this woman, and he didn't want to meddle in other people's business either.

"Heh, if you aren't close, why would you be with her? Looking at how this woman is dressed, she's probably your mistress, right? You want to stir up trouble?"

"Brother, I don't want to stir up trouble, really, I'm not close with her." Chen Yu said solemnly: "I'm leaving now, I definitely won't cause you any trouble."

"Chen Yu, how can you be like this? You can't just stand by and watch me die!" Xu Siying screamed in a panic.

"You bank people, to meet your quotas, you push all kinds of investments. I'm sure plenty of ignorant old people have been swindled by you. You kicked an iron plate this time, didn't you? Serves you right." Chen Yu sneered and turned to leave.

"Chen Yu, don't go! I'm best friends with your wife, please save me!" Xu Siying cried out.

"Wait, it seems your relationship is quite complicated." Wu Ge laughed: "You're having an affair with your wife's best friend?"

"I really don't have any relationship with her, brother, don't overthink it." Chen Yu smiled.

"Heh, you two are having an improper affair. This woman must be your mistress. She swindled me into investing and made me lose a million; you'll have to pay this debt for her." Wu Ge chuckled.

"Why should I pay?" Chen Yu's brow locked. This guy must have an itchy skin and is looking for trouble.

"Just because I know about your improper relationship, aren't you afraid your wife will find out?" Wu Ge chuckled: "One million in hush money—that's not much, is it?"

"Buddy, I can't control you guys if you want to give her trouble." Chen Yu smiled: "Take her to pour drinks, host, or sell her body—it's all fine. I won't meddle in other people's business. I really have no relationship with her, but if you insist on looking for trouble, then don't blame me for being impolite."

"How are you talking to Wu Ge? Kid, you looking for a slap?" The loud-mouthed bald man was furious; he reached out to strike Chen Yu.

But just as his hand moved, Chen Yu flew a kick, and with a 'bang', kicked the bald man away. 'Pfft...' blood foam bubbled from the bald man's mouth, and he collapsed to the ground, twisting in pain.

Since he had already started, there was no need for Chen Yu to be polite. In a few quick moves, he instantly knocked down all of Wu Ge's men.

"You, you..." Only Wu Ge was left at the scene. He stared at Chen Yu, dumbfounded, at a loss for what to do.

"I gave you face, didn't I?" Chen Yu's face darkened, and he fiercely slapped Wu Ge across the face.

'Slap...' Five finger marks appeared on Wu Ge's face. Wu Ge covered his face and said angrily: "Kid, you dare hit me? Do you know who I am?"

"Who are you?" Chen Yu said, and slapped him again.

This slap was clearly fiercer than the last. Wu Ge spat out a mouthful of blood. He covered half his face with a mournful expression and said: "Brother, let's talk this out, don't use force."

"I can't control what you do for a living, but forcing women into prostitution is going too far." Chen Yu pointed at Xu Siying: "I already said I have no relationship with her. Are you deaf and can't hear, or are you just a fucking idiot?"

"I'm sorry, brother, I was wrong, I was really wrong." Wu Ge covered his bleeding mouth and apologized to Chen Yu repeatedly.

"Get lost." Chen Yu pointed outward impatiently.

"Get lost, get lost! Hurry up, don't make the brother unhappy." Wu Ge summoned his gang of underlings, and then they scrambled away in a panic.

"Chen Yu, thank you so much just now. You, you were really cool just now." Xu Siying was still shaken, and she looked at Chen Yu with a bit of infatuation.

"I didn't do it for you, don't be narcissistic. If you're fine, go back. Stay away from me in the future; I don't have the spare time to play with you." Chen Yu glanced at her and turned to leave.

"Hey, you..." Xu Siying looked at Chen Yu's back and said angrily: "Chen Yu, just you wait, I will definitely get you into my bed."

"Chen Yu, there's a problem with the pharmaceutical factory acquisition in our Medical Industry Park." After he left, Song Mengyan's call came through.
