129: Chapter 129: Remove Them All!
Lin Shuang hurriedly followed, but Su Wanqiao turned her head and commanded, “You stay outside, I want to have a word with your classmate alone.”
Lin Shuang had no choice but to wait outside the coffee shop.
Su Wanqiao, wearing high heels, slowly pushed the door and entered the coffee shop.
At that moment, the coffee shop’s proprietress, Chu Ruohuang, was standing at the bar, grinding coffee beans.
“Miss Su has arrived?
Welcome, what would you like to drink?” Chu Ruohuang greeted Su Wanqiao with a smile when she saw her coming.
Su Wanqiao and her sister had been to Heavenly Coffee House a few times before, hitting it off in their previous chats and had even added each other on WeChat.
Sometimes Su Wanqiao would order takeout from this coffee house.
Su Wanqiao nodded slightly, stepping forward and ordering, “A cup of yuanyang latte.”
Chu Ruohuang quickly prepared a hot yuanyang latte and brought it over to her.
Su Wanqiao took the coffee and sipped a mouthful, asking, “Was it you who saved my sister yesterday?”
Chu Ruohuang nodded, “Yes, that’s right.
How is your sister doing?
She wasn’t injured, was she?”
Su Wanqiao replied, “She’s fine, thank you for what you did yesterday.
I, Su Wanqiao, owe you a favor.”
“Miss Chu, about yesterday…
being suddenly kidnapped by Bai Jingze.
You weren’t in any danger, were you?” Su Wanqiao asked with concern, also with a hint of probing.
Chu Ruohuang laughed in response, “What could happen to me?
This is a society governed by the rule of law.
Bai Jingze committed a crime knowingly, kidnapping and extortion.
Fortunately, I had alerted the relevant departments in advance.
He has already been arrested by the authorities.”
Upon hearing this, Su Wanqiao’s eyes narrowed slightly.
That statement was, in essence, an affirmation of the powerful backing behind her.
This Chu Ruohuang really wasn’t simple; she had a significant figure backing her.
“Glad to hear you’re alright.
By the way, my driver Lin Shuang mentioned…
you and he were university classmates?” Su Wanqiao tentatively asked.
“Yes, that’s right, we both attended university in the Imperial Capital back in the day,” Chu Ruohuang nodded and acknowledged.
Thankfully, she had rehearsed a story with Chen Xiu beforehand, so she was prepared.
Which university was it?
How come you never mentioned it before?” Su Wanqiao inquired curiously.
“Imperial Capital University of Science and Technology; we were just a senior and junior there.
Lin Shuang was my senior, and we only had a few academic exchanges,” explained Chu Ruohuang.
As a secret agent, her explanation was spot-on.
Su Wanqiao couldn’t find any loopholes.
“So, how come you suddenly started a coffee shop here?
That’s quite a coincidence, isn’t it?” Su Wanqiao asked curiously.
Chu Ruohuang explained with a laugh, “Well, it’s just such a coincidence.
After graduation, I’ve been living alone in Hai City.
A few months ago, I happened to see a shop for rent across the street here, so I decided to take over and opened this coffee house.
It’s really a small world.”
Even though her explanation was perfect, Su Wanqiao’s heart tightened ever so slightly.
Could it be that there was more to the proprietress’s relationship with Lin Shuang?
This made Su Wanqiao feel a hint of unease and jealousy.
Su Wanqiao asked many probing questions, but Chu Ruohuang’s answers were flawless.
In the end, she could only pack a few cups of coffee and then leave.
When leaving, Su Wanqiao scanned a QR code to pay, but she transferred 500,000 RMB directly to Chu Ruohuang.
“Hey, Miss Su, you’ve transferred too much money, haven’t you?!” Chu Ruohuang, seeing the message of receiving 500,000 on her phone, immediately alerted her.
“Miss Chu, yesterday you risked your life to save my sister.
Consider this a token of my appreciation, and I hope you will accept it,” said Wanqiao before leaving the coffee house with her coffee in hand.
Chu Ruohuang was left standing dumbfounded at the bar.
“Heh, an interesting woman,” Chu Ruohuang mused, her pretty face lifting with a curve as she watched Su Wanqiao’s retreating figure, “It seems this woman has taken a liking to Lin Shuang.”
Chu Ruohuang’s eyes were deep as she picked up the phone and dialed Chen Bu’e.
“Wu Shuai, this is Shen Huang.
So far, the Lord of the Underworld hasn’t caused any major disturbances in Hai City.
However, I have a situation to report to you.
Based on my observations over the past few days, I suspect…
Su Wanqiao might have taken a liking to the Lord of the Underworld…” Shen Huang spoke into the phone with a serious tone.
On the other end of the line, Wu Shuai Chen Bu’e remained silent for a long time after hearing this.
of all the women in the world, why did that lunatic have to choose one from our Huaxia nation?
And of all people, Su Wanqiao from the Su Family?
This is terrible news,” sighed Chen Bu’e on the phone.
Su Wanqiao is no simple woman.
Having developed Heavenly Medicine technology overseas, her return to the country has already caught the attention of various domestic forces.
This woman is a troublemaker; you mustn’t let her and the Lord of the Underworld stir up any chaos.
If anything happens, report to me immediately!” Chen Bu’e instructed gravely over the phone.
Understood,” Shen Huang responded solemnly, nodding.
After a pause, Shen Huang asked, “Wu Shuai, how should we deal with the Bai Family in Hai City?”
Shen Huang had already reported the Bai Family’s situation to Wu Shuai the day before.
Over the phone, Chen Bu’e replied indifferently, “Do I need to be reported to for such trifles?
Deal with it as it should be dealt with.
Since they have committed a crime, they should be handled according to the regulations.
Direct the National Security Bureau to remove any corrupt officials associated with them.”
“Yes!” Shen Huang nodded solemnly.
