Chapter 311 The Setup

Chapter 311 Layout

Inside the villa, Su Ya and Lin Yueyu were extremely anxious, but Liu Ran, sitting beside them, seemed unhurried.

Su Ya angrily patted Liu Ran's shoulder and said, "Liu Ran, at this point, with everything on fire, you can still hold back. Let's quickly find a way to clarify this misunderstanding. Otherwise, it will have a huge impact on your personal reputation."

Liu Ran nodded and said, "I know, but Chen Yang just said to wait for him to come back."

Su Ya patted her forehead, helpless. "Liu Ran, you're truly blinded by love. At this moment, you can still unconditionally trust Chen Yang. Finding that Lu Zhi fellow now won't be possible with just the security team."

"I think we should contact Qin Minghuang. Qin Minghuang must have some clue about Lu Zhi. I know you don't like Qin Minghuang, but at this critical juncture, let's solve the problem first and deal with other things later."

Lin Yueyu, sitting nearby, also nodded. "Yes, yes. Actually, I also dislike these big capitalists, but more often than not, we have to deal with them out of necessity. There's no other way, President Liu. I think you should proactively call Qin Minghuang?"

Liu Ran shook her head and said, "Don't you two worry, let's wait for Chen Yang to come back!"

Just then, Liu Ran's phone rang. Liu Ran excitedly picked it up, only to find it wasn't Chen Yang calling, but Qin Minghuang.

Liu Ran frowned. Su Ya had already answered and switched on the speakerphone.

After connecting, Qin Minghuang's voice came through, smiling. "President Liu, I've just inquired about Lu Zhi's whereabouts, and we should have results soon. If you're in a hurry, you can come over to my place. We can have a meal together while we wait for the news. If possible, our people from Da Qin Group can find Lu Zhi."

Liu Ran felt tempted hearing this, but remembering Chen Yang's instructions, she was reluctant to go to Qin Minghuang for dinner.

Just as Liu Ran was about to refuse, Su Ya immediately said, "Okay, okay, Mr. Qin, thank you so much."

"We were just about to call you for help, and we didn't expect Mr. Qin to be so righteous. Thank you, thank you, we are so grateful."

"Then President Liu will be there soon. Where should we meet you?"

Qin Minghuang chuckled, "It's only right. After all, I know President Liu is the victim!"

"Besides, this Lu Zhi was an employee of our former Da Qin Group, so I also have some responsibility."

"How about this, President Liu, come to the hotel. I've already booked a private room. Don't worry, there will be other relatives and friends you know also dining here."

"If you have any further concerns, you can also bring your colleagues along."

Su Ya quickly replied, "No concerns, no concerns. Thank you, Mr. Qin. We'll be there in half an hour."

Qin Minghuang laughed heartily, "Alright, I'll be waiting for the arrival of you beautiful ladies."

Then, Qin Minghuang hung up the phone.

Putting down the phone, Qin Minghuang stood up excitedly. He had been waiting for Liu Ran to ask for help, but unfortunately, she hadn't called.

Qin Minghuang finally couldn't hold back and made this tempting call, wanting to lure Liu Ran over for dinner.

Now it seemed his plan had succeeded completely.

Thinking of this, Qin Minghuang's face flushed with excitement.

He immediately called Liu's old grandmother. Qin Minghuang said with a laugh, "Old Madam, bring your Liu family members to the hotel now!"

"Also, remember to bring reliable people. After all, this matter requires absolute discretion."

Old Madam Liu quickly replied, "Don't worry, Mr. Qin, I understand. The people I bring are all experts in giving false testimony, and they will all help you prove it."

Qin Minghuang burst into laughter. He immediately instructed his servants to prepare food and medicine.

Qin Minghuang tapped his fingers on the table, a triumphant look in his eyes: Liu Ran, Liu Ran, aren't you still my prey? After today, you'll be my woman. As Qin Minghuang's woman, you will naturally be protected, and I will help you clarify all of this.

Qin Minghuang waited triumphantly.

At this moment, inside the villa, Liu Ran looked at her phone, then frowned at Su Ya. "Senior Su Ya, Chen Yang specifically told us to wait in the villa and not to see Qin Minghuang before he left. Isn't it improper for us to agree to this privately?"

Su Ya patted Liu Ran's hand with exasperation. "Liu Ran! Do you know what time it is now? We need to race against time to find Lu Zhi."

"Since Qin Minghuang has proactively offered, he might bring Lu Zhi directly to you. How can we miss such a good opportunity?"

"If you're still worried, why don't you just call Chen Yang and tell him? If that doesn't work, let Chen Yang accompany us to the restaurant, right?"

Liu Ran thought for a moment and nodded. "Alright, then I'll tell Chen Yang."

Liu Ran dialed Chen Yang's number. Just as she initiated the call, Chen Yang's phone rang at the villa entrance.

It turned out Chen Yang had already arrived at the villa.

Chen Yang pushed the door open and walked in, holding his phone. He smiled at Liu Ran and asked, "Wife, why are you calling me?"

Liu Ran breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Chen Yang walk in. She immediately walked over and said, "It's like this, Chen Yang. Qin Minghuang just called and said he could find Lu Zhi, and he invited us to have dinner with him."

"He's already ordered his subordinates to search for Lu Zhi as quickly as possible. I think Qin Minghuang is so righteous and proactive, why don't we go and have dinner with him?"

Chen Yang heard this and waved his hand, saying, "No need. That guy has bad intentions written all over him."

Su Ya said indignantly to Chen Yang, "Chen Yang, you're being too selfish. Just because Qin Minghuang is a man, you won't let Liu Ran go to dinner with him?"

"But do you know that this dinner means Liu Ran's reputation, and it means the reputation of Yang Yang Yang Company? This could be a major issue affecting our careers."

Chen Yang pouted and said to Su Ya, "People with big chests and no brains are talking about your type. Do you think Qin Minghuang would be so kind? To actively help you find someone?"

"He wants to acquire Yang Yang Yang Group. This is precisely the time to suppress Yang Yang Yang Group. How could he let go?"

"If he has the chance to crush Yang Yang Yang Company directly, he would do it. It's truly thoughtless."

Su Ya and Liu Ran were both stunned. Then, they both nodded and said, "That's true. Qin Minghuang wanted to acquire the company before. Could this be another of his schemes?"

Su Ya touched her chin and thought for a moment, then she jumped up, grabbed a pillow from the sofa, and threw it at Chen Yang, angrily scolding, "Who are you calling big-chested and brainless? I am an elite of Yang Yang Yang Company, and my brain is perfectly fine."
