Chapter 182: Chapter 182 He Just Wanted to Taste the Medicine on Her Lips (2) Chapter 182: Chapter 182 He Just Wanted to Taste the Medicine on Her Lips (2) She must have a feud with smartphones, having broken two in such a short span of time.
Suddenly remembering something, she flipped through the new phone, looking for the emergency contact setup.
As expected, that was already set up with Gu Annan’s number.
“Xiaozhao, who set up my phone?” she asked, her heart skipping a beat the moment she saw the number.
Zhao Chen glanced at it and responded casually, “That was me. I also saved some other numbers you might need in your contacts, and the other settings were done according to your preferences. Is there a problem? Did I set something up incorrectly?”
“No, not at all.” Her tone relaxed, accompanied by an inexplicable sense of loss, “I just wanted to thank you for being so thorough.”
“It’s to make the phone convenient for you to use, and it was also Mr. Gu’s request.”
She thought for a moment, then couldn’t help but ask, “I want to ask about that day… the day I was at Caesar’s. How was Gu Annan able to arrive so quickly?”
This had been an unsolved mystery for her over the past few days. Even if his number was the emergency contact then, how could he have shown up before her so swiftly?
Gu Annan had absolutely no desire to bring up what had happened that day, so the question had remained bottled up inside her.
“Because Mr. Gu was there,” Zhao Chen said, and couldn’t help giving credit to the boss, “That day, I was not with Mr. Gu as it was his personal time. Suddenly, I received a phone call and had to rush over. Only then I found out that Miss Lu had an accident.”
Lu Wanwan was startled, so Gu Annan had been at Caesar’s that day.
Her expression turned a bit sour, realizing he wasn’t the chaste man people rumored to be gay.
He too frequented such entertainment venues during his private time.
What was Caesar’s most famous for?
It was known for its beautiful women and services, touted as a paradise for men!
Though on the surface, there were no illicit services since they would be illegal.
But as the saying goes, money talks.
“Miss Lu, what’s wrong?”
Zhao Chen continued, getting more excited as he spoke, “I heard that when Mr. Gu received your call, he immediately located the manager of Caesar’s, closed down Entertainment City, and mobilized everyone to find you. You might think it was as simple as just getting out safely, but you should know, to find you among so many private rooms in Caesar’s in such a short time took a massive effort.”
“Is that so?” She propped her head with her hand, thinking it was because he simply could not let such an incident occur.
“Now in Caesar’s, probably everyone recognizes you. I guess the next time Miss Lu goes there, you could likely get in for free.”
She mused gloomily, who would dare to go again.
“It’s better not to ask about the consequences those people faced, Miss Lu,” Zhao Chen said with lingering fear, “In any case, the best outcome is that you are safe and sound. Those people will naturally face what they deserve.”
Upon reaching the newspaper office, everything was as usual.
No one knew what had happened that day; they all assumed Yi Cheng had left Manchester as he had said.
Even the editor-in-chief didn’t make things difficult for her recent leaves.
It was so strange, was it truly because she had done well in recent assignments that the editor-in-chief was treating her differently?
“You did well last month. After the assessment from upstairs, a sizeable bonus was approved,” said the editor-in-chief as he summoned her to his office and got straight to the point.
As he spoke, he looked at her curiously, wondering what was going on upstairs? What kind of background did she have, for an intern to receive such an amount of money?
