The Fatty, shocked and furious, wanted to know who dared to strike him, but could only see a silver mask.
“Who is this guy! So cringey with a mask!”
“Shh, don’t talk nonsense if you don’t understand! In our line of work, people who wear masks are usually big shots. After all, for wealthy and powerful individuals, revealing their identity casually can easily lead to a deadly fate!”
The Fatty was also stunned by the mask and could only suppress his anger, saying, “May I ask who my friend is, and how has my Juexin Guild offended you?”
“Who I am is not important. You know best what you have done. I don’t want to repeat myself.”
The Fatty wasn't stupid. Seeing Li Chonglou unwilling to reveal his identity, he changed his tune, “Then may I see your pass?”
Li Chonglou didn’t think much of it. He casually took out the gold card and fabricated a fake identity.
Unexpectedly, the moment the gold card appeared, everyone erupted, and even the Fatty’s face showed a look of panic.
“Damn, it’s a gold card big shot! No wonder he’s wearing a mask!”
“As expected of a gold card big shot, otherwise he wouldn’t dare to hit even someone from the Juexin Guild!”
“I can’t believe this woman actually knows a gold card big shot. I must be blind!”
Some of those who had helped the Fatty earlier quietly slipped away, while others regretted not seizing the opportunity to speak a good word for Yu Ke.
Seizing the opportunity, like grass bending to the wind, the moment the gold card appeared, everyone’s attitude immediately changed. Yu Ke instantly became the real victim.
Li Chonglou also didn’t expect the gold card to be so effective. He immediately abandoned the fabricated identity and coldly stared at the Fatty.
The Fatty dared not say anything more. As the manager of the Juexin Guild, he understood the meaning of the gold card better than anyone present. He immediately bowed and apologized to Li Chonglou and Yu Ke, then ordered the money to be returned to Yu Ke in full.
Seeing this, Li Chonglou said no more and turned to leave.
Yu Ke was stunned until Li Chonglou disappeared from her sight. She didn’t know any friends with gold cards!
However, the voice of the person just now was so familiar.
“Could he really be a good person who helps the disadvantaged when passing by?” Yu Ke frowned deeply, then thought, “No, if it were just a chance encounter, how would he know I was being slandered?”
Yu Ke had a hunch that this masked good person must know her, and that voice was very familiar, she just couldn’t recall who it was for a moment.
By now, the onlookers had dispersed. A few people wanted to approach Yu Ke, but thinking about their inaction earlier, they felt ashamed and gave up the idea.
Yu Ke stood there, gazing in the direction Li Chonglou had left, her eyes flashing.
Li Chonglou walked to a deserted place, took off his mask, and then hurried towards the main entrance of Panjiayuan.
He didn’t want Yu Ke to recognize him, especially since they had had an unexpected intimate encounter. Li Chonglou didn’t want to do anything that would betray Jiang Yuxin.
Little did he know that his every move after entering Xing Street was being observed by Manager Zhu.
In the monitoring room, Zhu Yidan’s secretary asked in confusion, “Sister Zhu, I still don’t understand why you gave him a gold card? Even if our people had a problem, a platinum card would have been enough to compensate, right?”
Zhu Yidan smiled and said, “You can’t judge a person by their appearance. Didn’t you forget that he only took each sample for a few seconds before putting it down? But he claimed the three most difficult ones.”
Yes, the two of them had noticed Li Chonglou from the beginning. Zhu Yidan had been in this monitoring room for some recent matters, and they had noticed Li Chonglou from the moment he picked up the samples.
That’s why the bald man later didn’t quite understand why Zhu Yidan had given him the gold card so readily. He had guessed that Li Chonglou must have something extraordinary about him, but he didn’t know how long it took Li Chonglou to provide the answers for the three samples.
After leaving Panjiayuan, just as Li Chonglou was about to take a taxi back to his hotel, a beautiful woman suddenly approached him.
“Excuse me, sir, I dropped my phone. Could I borrow your phone to make a call?”
She was a gorgeously dressed woman, with heavy makeup and a tall figure. Li Chonglou didn’t think much of it, just did a good deed and handed her his phone.
The woman walked a few steps away, dialed a number, spoke a few words, and then returned the phone to Li Chonglou.
“Thank you very much. I’ve asked a friend to pick me up. By the way, as a token of my gratitude, how about I treat you to a meal later?”
Li Chonglou smiled and refused, “No need. It’s just a small favor. I have things to attend to.”
Li Chonglou left immediately after speaking. The woman’s expression changed a few times. After Li Chonglou disappeared from her sight, she suddenly took out a mobile phone from her handbag.
“Failed. It seems he’s not interested in women.”
On the other end of the phone, Sanyang hung up with a gloomy expression and muttered, “I really don’t believe it!”
Li Chonglou returned to his hotel by car and began to consider his next plan.
Li Chonglou currently only knew the wealthy businessman’s name was Zhang Huadong. Originally, it would have been faster to have Zhou Tong handle this matter, but Li Chonglou felt that the fewer people who knew about Shi Boqiong, the better.
It wasn't that he didn’t trust Zhou Tong, but one of Zhou Tong’s strengths was his extensive network, and he didn’t know everything himself. Having Zhou Tong inquire would easily leak the clues about Shi Boqiong.
Therefore, Li Chonglou’s plan was to investigate this matter himself. Since it wasn’t urgent and the matter of the Wu family had been resolved, he just needed to wait for news from Zhou Tong. Now he also had to focus on Zhang Huadong’s affairs.
However, Li Chonglou couldn’t think of any leads for a while. He searched online for the Zhang family’s assets and found that they had a large company not far away.
Li Chonglou immediately made a decision, changed his clothes, and set out again.
This Zhang family company was a local international financial firm. Its parent company was listed, and this was just one of its branch companies.
Li Chonglou saw online that some netizens said this company was actually given by Zhang Huadong to his son to practice with, which made him lament that the lives of the rich were indeed unimaginable to ordinary people.
Li Chonglou’s current goal was simple: to infiltrate it first and then find an opportunity to understand Zhang Huadong’s character.
As for how to infiltrate, it was simple: apply for a job…
However, things did not develop as smoothly as imagined.
“Only security guards?”
Li Chonglou was a bit dumbfounded. He had hoped to apply for a regular position to facilitate his information gathering, but unexpectedly, all positions were full. The only vacancy was for a security guard, and it was for the underground parking lot.
Hmm, maybe he should just kidnap someone and interrogate them?
The thought flashed through Li Chonglou’s mind, as it would have been quite easy for him to do so with his current strength.
But he immediately dismissed it.
