"And after she got this money, her status in the company immediately became second only to the boss. Don't underestimate her just because she's a receptionist; the boss of Aneng Company is actually her kept lover."
Li Zhonglou's expression was like a country grandma visiting the Grand View Garden, his eyes wide open, unable to recover for a long time.
Zhou Tong sighed, "My expression was exactly the same as yours when I first found out."
However, after Li Zhonglou reacted, he suddenly breathed a sigh of relief.
"It seems we've acted on behalf of heaven. After we're done with this, we'll call the police. Do we have all the evidence?"
"That's not a problem. Within three days at most, I can get everything done."
Li Zhonglou thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I have to go out in a couple of days. Let's make our move today."
"Today?"
"Yes."
Then Li Zhonglou whispered a few words into Zhou Tong's ear. Zhou Tong's expression changed, and finally, he looked at Li Zhonglou with a mischievous grin and said, "I didn't expect you to be so devious."
Li Zhonglou smiled. He didn't care if he was devious or not; he simply never held back against his enemies.
Meanwhile.
After leaving Li Zhonglou's company, Chen Pao drove around the city for several laps. After confirming he wasn't being followed, he hailed a taxi and left the Sun Wen Road area, heading to a small town in the northern district of Shangjing.
The journey was quite long. Chen Pao was in a great mood after getting what he wanted, and he soon felt tired, so he drifted off to sleep in the car.
About an hour and a half later, Chen Pao opened his eyes at the driver's reminder; he paid and got out of the car.
"It's much more peaceful back on my turf."
Chen Pao had grown up here and was very familiar with every blade of grass and tree. However, not many people recognized him here. After all, in his line of work, having enough friends was enough; more would just be a burden.
However, as he was eating at his favorite small restaurant, he overheard two young men at the next table excitedly discussing something.
"Hey, I just stumbled upon this. I guarantee it'll make you laugh all day!"
"Holy cow, no way! Are there still such gems in this day and age? Could she be a sugar mama? If I were this guy, I'd pack my bags and run tonight!"
"Hahaha, you think it's funny too, right? Let me tell you..."
What puzzled Chen Pao was that as the two were talking, their gaze suddenly shifted towards him, and their faces held a strange, inexplicable look.
"Damn, I have a bad feeling about this."
Chen Pao's heart skipped a beat, but what he didn't expect was that the two would actually come over and examine him like he was a rare specimen.
"Do you want to die?"
Chen Pao's face instantly turned grim. The two were startled.
"Sorry, wrong person."
The two young men apologized and walked away. After putting some distance between them, they whispered to each other.
"Damn, he really looks like him! His clothes even seem to be the same!"
"Could it really be him? Why don't we give him a call to check? If this is true, there's a hundred thousand yuan reward!"
Although they were about ten meters away, Chen Pao was a master, and his hearing was far superior to that of ordinary people. Their words reached him clearly.
There's something going on!
Chen Pao silently got up, paid, and then followed them.
About five minutes later, the two young men were cornered in an alley, kneeling before Chen Pao and begging for mercy.
"Mercy, great hero! We'll give you anything you want."
At this moment, the two of them had black eyes, clearly having been beaten up.
Chen Pao said sternly, "What were you looking at? Tell me honestly!"
The two exchanged glances. Then, with a shove from one of them, the other took out his phone and opened a page.
Chen Pao snatched it and was stunned.
The phone displayed a picture with outdated romantic red flowers photoshopped around it, and two figures superimposed in the center. Below it read:
"Seeking husband with reward. If real location is provided, a reward of 100,000 yuan will be given!"
And these two figures were him and the fat pig he had dealt with earlier!
"I'm going to kill her!"
Chen Pao realized what was happening and a strong killing intent suddenly erupted from him! Although he wasn't skilled in combat, it didn't mean he was weak; he was a seasoned expert. Under the intense aura, the two young men instantly fainted.
Chen Pao ignored them and turned to leave, his face looking as if he had eaten a live rat. A deep anger blazed in his usually calm eyes!
However, Chen Pao didn't know that as soon as he left, the two young men immediately got up.
"Let's go, let's go! That was terrifying. This money is really not easy to earn!"
．
Chen Pao wanted to go and settle the score with Xiao Hong immediately, but as soon as he got into the car, a black message suddenly popped up on his phone.
This was a system message unique to their "Freelancers." Freelancers didn't have a very strong position in Shangjing, which was why Li Zhonglou didn't know much about them. To stick together, they had a special unified system that belonged only to them.
Although core matters were not discussed on it, it was used for casual chat and for announcing some news from the Shangjing Headquarters, serving as a form of protection.
So, when the message popped up, Chen Pao checked it immediately.
As he read it, his mood only worsened.
The message was brief but emphasized one point: the Headquarters would be taking major action starting today. All Freelancers who didn't want trouble were to suspend all operations starting today!
Swift action!
Suddenly suspending operations and not allowing any actions?
Chen Pao felt as if heaven was playing a trick on him. If he couldn't act now, how would he deal with that pig?
Thinking of this, a struggle flashed across Chen Pao's face.
Dealing with an ordinary person was a matter of a second for him, no, less than a second! But as disgusting as Xiao Hong was, she must have some money to put out such an advertisement.
And even putting aside the money, since she had put out such an advertisement, she had exposed herself to the public. If something happened at this critical juncture, the ensuing commotion would likely be significant!
But if he didn't strike decisively, with the personality Xiao Hong had shown, Chen Pao wasn't very confident he could resolve this perfectly.
"Perhaps this pig will become even more unreasonable."
Chen Pao suddenly remembered the moment he subdued her. Xiao Hong had only paused for a few seconds before directly proposing to him in front of a crowd of police officers. If he were to threaten her again...
Chen Pao shivered suddenly.
"Damn! No! No matter what, I can't let this happen again!"
