Chapter 773 The Trap
As Chen Xuan walked out of the Su family villa, a taxi stopped at the entrance. A young man jumped out of the car and grinned at Chen Xuan, saying, "Brother Xuan! Hall Master Yang asked me to prepare this taxi for you!"
"Thank you, Xiao Long. You can drive my car back."
Chen Xuan threw the Porsche keys in his hand to Xiao Long.
"Whoa, a Porsche! Thanks, Brother Xuan!"
Xiao Long's face turned red with excitement as he looked at the Porsche keys in his hand.
He had never driven such a nice car before.
"Drive carefully!"
"Don't worry!"
After Xiao Long drove away in the Porsche, Chen Xuan also got into the taxi, put on a human skin mask, and signaled for the car to go to a location with passengers before turning around and leaving.
Meanwhile, at the Li family's estate.
A line of people stood at the entrance of the Li family villa.
Li Tianxing, Shi Menglu, Fang Yongning, and others were all present, their faces full of smiles.
Opposite them stood a man in his thirties named Wang Hongda.
Wang Hongda was a business elite under Gu Chengye and Gu Chengtian's strategist. All major business negotiations were handled by him, and he was in charge of today's negotiation with northern businessmen.
"Hongda, be careful on the road. We'll throw a celebration banquet for you when you finalize the cooperation!"
Gu Chengye walked over, patted Wang Hongda on the shoulder, and smiled broadly.
"Don't worry, Mr. Gu. This matter is in my hands!"
Wang Hongda then gestured to Li Tianxing, Fang Yongning, and others before turning and getting into his car to leave.
Watching the departing car, a look of anticipation appeared on everyone's faces.
Gu Chengye's smile was particularly wide.
If they could secure the Wei family's northern clients, the Gu family would have the capital to contend with the Wei family and the qualifications to rise again!
More than ten minutes later, the Rolls-Royce that was traveling suddenly braked sharply and stopped abruptly.
Wang Hongda, who was resting with his eyes closed in the car, lurched forward, cursing, "What's going on?"
"I apologize, Mr. Wang. We have a flat tire!" the driver said, trembling.
"Quickly change the spare tire."
"I'm on it."
The driver hurriedly got out of the car.
Time ticked by, but the tire was not fixed. Wang Hongda kept looking at his watch, sweat beading on his forehead. "What's going on? It's almost time!"
The driver got back in, sweating profusely and apologizing, "Mr. Wang, this spare tire is faulty. It's already flat."
"Damn it! Flat? What do we do?"
Wang Hongda was getting anxious.
The northern tycoon Zhou Baiwan hated waiting. If he couldn't arrive on time, the deal would likely fall through. If the deal failed, Gu Chengye would skin him alive!
The driver had a sudden idea and said, "Why don't we ask them to send another car? Or should we just take a taxi?"
Wang Hongda was conflicted.
Sending for another car would likely make him miss the deadline.
But taking a taxi made him worried about safety.
"I knew I should have sent another car along!"
Wang Hongda punched his palm, full of regret.
Just then, a taxi pulled up beside them. The driver called out, "Sir, do you need a ride?"
"Go away, go away! Have you ever seen someone driving a Rolls-Royce taking a taxi?" the driver retorted dismissively.
The driver turned his head and said rudely, "You've got a flat tire, and even the spare is useless. What rotten luck!"
He was in a foul mood!
"Who says people driving Rolls-Royces don't take taxis? Didn't you just get a flat tire?"
"Get lost!"
"Fine, if you don't want a ride, then leave! Rich people really have no manners! Hmph, nouveau riche!"
The taxi driver was about to leave.
Just then, Wang Hongda quickly said, "Master, don't go!"
The taxi driver stopped and frowned, "You want a ride?"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Wang Hongda nodded with a smile.
In fact, Wang Hongda had considered taking a taxi from the beginning, but he was worried it was a trap. So, he observed for a moment. Seeing that the taxi driver had a conflict with his own driver and was about to leave, Wang Hongda finally let down his guard.
But he had no idea he had walked right into the trap...
"Aren't rich people supposed to not take taxis?" the taxi driver asked, crossing his arms and chuckling.
Wang Hongda turned and berated his own driver, "You have eyes but can't see! Apologize to the driver immediately!"
"S... Sorry..."
The driver looked wronged but quickly apologized to the taxi driver.
Wang Hongda then turned to the taxi driver with a smile and said, "Young man, how about you take me to the Wanyang Cafe near the airport? I'll give you five hundred yuan! No, one thousand yuan!"
"Get in, but I only charge by the meter!"
"Thank you, young man. You're a good person."
Wang Hongda hurried into the taxi!
His face full of gratitude.
Twenty minutes later, the taxi slowly stopped at the Wanyang Cafe. Wang Hongda got out of the car, carrying his briefcase, and quickly walked into the cafe.
In the back seat, someone who looked exactly like Wang Hongda was bound and gagged with a car rag. To be precise, this person was the real Wang Hongda!
More than ten minutes later, the "Wang Hongda" returned to the car with a signed contract, a pleased smile on his face.
The taxi driver drove the car to a secluded spot and removed the gag from Wang Hongda's mouth.
Wang Hongda, without even taking a breath, shouted, "Help! Help!"
"Stop shouting. There's no one here. No one can save you!"
Wang Hongda instinctively looked around and saw no one. His heart sank.
He looked at the taxi driver, his voice filled with panic, "Who... who are you?"
"You don't need to know who I am, but I thank you for your trust. Otherwise, I wouldn't have gotten such a big contract," the taxi driver said, waving the contract in his hand.
"I represent the Gu family, the Li family, and the Fang family. You can't afford to offend them. Hand over the contract immediately, or they won't let you off!"
"They are from the four great families! Powerful and influential!"
"The mere four great families are nothing in my eyes," the taxi driver said with a calm shake of his head.
Wang Hongda was stunned.
Who was this guy? How could he dismiss people from the four great families as mere clowns and playthings?
Just then, a Land Rover Range Rover stopped beside them. Yang Chaotian and others jumped out of the car and walked quickly towards them.
The taxi driver also got out of the car.
"Mr. Chen!"
Yang Chaotian and the others bowed respectfully to the taxi driver.
So, it turned out!
The taxi driver was Chen Xuan, who had gone out in a taxi that day!
Chen Xuan nodded faintly and looked at Wang Hongda, who was sitting in the back seat, "The rest is up to you!"
"Mr. Chen, don't worry," Yang Chaotian said with a smile.
At this moment, Wang Hongda's phone rang. Chen Xuan took it out of his pocket.
It was Gu Chengye calling.
Chen Xuan answered the phone without hesitation.
"Hongda, how did things go?"
