Chapter 95

In the evening, around six o'clock, Xiao Chen and Su Qing headed to the Blue Tone Grand Hotel.

"Xiao Chen, I have some news."

In the passenger seat, Su Qing looked at Xiao Chen with an unusual expression.

"What?"

"Old Black from the Flying Eagle Gang is dead."

"Oh? Dead? Heh heh, if he's dead, then so be it. People like him, who are involved in the underworld, are always on the brink of death. It's not surprising that they might get killed one day."

Xiao Chen's expression remained calm as he said with a smile.

"Xiao Chen, it's not related to you, right?"

Su Qing was a bit worried because the time of Old Black's death was the same night she was kidnapped!

Moreover, that night, Xiao Chen had also gone out, so she was worried there might be a connection!

"Heh heh, you don't think I killed him, do you?"

Xiao Chen turned his head and asked Su Qing.

"No, I'm just worried. It's best if it's not related to you, after all, it's a human life."

Su Qing looked at Xiao Chen seriously.

"Right, killing is illegal. This isn't the military; I won't kill people recklessly!" Xiao Chen smiled and nodded: "Besides, haven't I told you before? I prefer to persuade people with reason and virtue..."

"..."

Su Qing rolled her eyes slightly. She had never felt that this guy liked to persuade people with reason and virtue!

Upon arriving at the Blue Tone Grand Hotel, they saw Xu Gang waiting at the entrance.

Seeing the Maserati arrive, Xu Gang quickly walked forward, but his steps were a bit unsteady.

There was no way around it; his legs were still weak from the intense activities of the previous night!

"Ms. Su, you're here."

Xu Gang stepped forward and opened the car door for Su Qing.

"Director Xu, hello."

Su Qing was a bit surprised. Why was Xu Gang acting so unusually today?

"I'm sorry for being late."

"Not late, not late, I came early."

Xu Gang kept a low profile, with a smile on his face.

Su Qing got out of the car and looked at Xu Gang, thoroughly confused.

"Assistant Xiao, hello!"

Xu Gang greeted Xiao Chen with a smile, even with a hint of flattery.

Xiao Chen smiled and greeted Xu Gang. The three of them entered the hotel.

On the way, Su Qing silently observed, sensing that there seemed to be something fishy between Xu Gang and Xiao Chen!

Upon entering the private room, Xu Gang's behavior became even more obvious.

"Ms. Su, please sit!"

Xu Gang was not at all like his domineering self from the previous day; he even pulled out a chair for Su Qing.

"Assistant Xiao, please sit as well."

"Okay."

The three of them sat down, and Xu Gang handed the menu to Su Qing.

"Ms. Su, what would you like to eat? Order anything you like; I'll pay for it tonight."

"Director Xu, you should order."

Su Qing was a bit wary. Why was tonight so strange?

"Then, Assistant Xiao, would you like to order?"

"No, Director Xu, just order a few dishes... I didn't come here tonight to eat."

Xiao Chen said this calmly.

"Oh, oh." Xu Gang nodded quickly, ordered a few signature dishes, and after the waiter left, he looked at Su Qing: "Ms. Su, I'm really sorry for yesterday..."

"It's nothing."

"Ms. Su, rest assured, the audit will definitely go smoothly, no problem! Besides, as long as it's related to Qincheng Company, I, Xu Gang, will definitely support it..." When Xu Gang said this, he almost pounded his chest.

Hearing this, Su Qing became even more suspicious. What was going on?

After all, yesterday, Xu Gang had a completely different attitude. How did everything change overnight?

Was it real, or was there a hidden agenda?

Moreover, Xu Gang's attitude toward Xiao Chen seemed to have done a 180-degree turn!

What was going on?

Could it be that Xu Gang's change was related to Xiao Chen?

Soon, the food was served.

Xu Gang personally got up and poured wine for the two of them.

"Ms. Su, for my rudeness yesterday, I'll drink a penalty cup first!"

Then, Xu Gang raised another cup and looked at Xiao Chen: "Assistant Xiao, I'll drink another penalty cup..."

"I'll drink with Director Xu."

Xiao Chen raised his glass and clinked it with Xu Gang's.

Xu Gang instinctively stood up, lowered his body, and even bent a bit when clinking glasses with Xiao Chen.

This scene did not escape Su Qing's notice. She narrowed her eyes, confirming that Xu Gang's change was indeed related to Xiao Chen!

Under Xu Gang's low profile, the meal went relatively smoothly.

Especially, Xu Gang repeatedly stated that he would take good care of Qincheng Company...

Moreover, Su Qing noticed a detail: after Xu Gang spoke, he would subconsciously look at Xiao Chen, as if waiting for his reaction.

"I'll go to the restroom."

Xiao Chen stood up and walked out.

"I'll go too!"

Xu Gang quickly stood up and followed.

Su Qing watched their backs and took a sip of tea. What was going on?

"Assistant Xiao, are you satisfied with my performance tonight?"

Xu Gang smiled and asked cautiously.

"Um, not bad!" Xiao Chen nodded, took out a cigarette, and offered one to Xu Gang: "Director Xu, take more care of the company."

"Definitely, definitely!" Xu Gang felt almost flattered, took the cigarette, and lit it: "Assistant Xiao, can I have the video from yesterday..."

"Oh? Director Xu, do you want to relive your glory?"

"..." Xu Gang smiled awkwardly.

"Sure, since Director Xu wants to see it, I'll send you a copy..."

"Ah? A copy?" Xu Gang was stunned.

"Yes, I've already made several copies. I'll send you one... Director Xu, where should I send it?"

Xiao Chen held the cigarette and asked with a smile.

"..."

Xu Gang's lips twitched. Several copies?

"To your phone?"

"No, no need..."

Xu Gang shook his head. He originally wanted to get the video back, but if there were several copies, it wouldn't matter much!

"Director Xu, I know your concerns... Don't worry, the video is safe with me... As long as you take good care of Qincheng Company, the video will never be exposed!"

Xiao Chen held the cigarette and patted Xu Gang's shoulder.

"Yes, yes, I will definitely do that."

Xu Gang was almost in tears, completely defeated, and would likely be controlled by this guy for a while!

Back in the private room, they stayed for a while and then prepared to leave.

When Su Qing tried to pay the bill, Xu Gang quickly paid and personally saw them to their car.

"Xiao Chen, what's going on with Xu Gang?"

In the passenger seat, Su Qing couldn't help but ask.

"Huh? What's going on?"

Xiao Chen feigned ignorance, knowing that with Su Qing's intelligence, she must have noticed something.

"His attitude today!"

"Oh, maybe he had a change of heart, feeling guilty towards the people."

"Come on, would someone like him have a change of heart?"

"..."

"Did you... see him last night?"

Su Qing thought of something and guessed.

"Um, I met him once, had a chat, and after some ideological education, he had a change of heart..."

Xiao Chen smiled.

"..."

Su Qing looked at Xiao Chen's somewhat unclear profile, surprised. Did he really meet Xu Gang last night? Or did he go out for some special needs?

"Anyway, he won't cause any more trouble for the company, so you don't need to worry. If you need to deal with him, he won't refuse."

Su Qing nodded. She didn't ask about the details of last night, thinking that if Xiao Chen wanted to tell her, he would do so voluntarily.

If he couldn't tell her, asking would be useless and might even make him uncomfortable, even leading him to fabricate a story.

"Thank you, Xiao Chen!"

Su Qing said sincerely.

"Heh heh, no problem."

Xiao Chen smiled and shook his head.

"With Xu Gang's attitude now, the new product should be able to launch smoothly... Other things should also be moved up on the agenda."

"Okay."

Xiao Chen nodded, not really understanding these matters.

Back at the Yujinxiang villa area, Xiao Chen slowed down the car.

Just as they were about to reach the villa, several strong lights shone on the Maserati!

Su Qing instinctively closed her eyes, while Xiao Chen turned his head and squinted.

Then, several people got out of the car opposite.

"Who are they?"

Su Qing noticed the abnormality ahead and her face changed. Could they be here to deal with her again?

Xiao Chen shook his head: "Stay in the car, I'll go check."

"Be careful."

"Okay." Su Qing nodded, then thought of something and her face changed again: "Xiao Chen, if they found us here, could Xiao Meng be in danger..."

"Xiao Meng?"

Xiao Chen frowned and looked at the nearby villa, where the living room light was on.

"Don't worry, since they're waiting for us here, they probably won't go after Xiao Meng!"

Su Qing's face eased: "I'm really worried about Xiao Meng's safety."

"I'll go check. As long as I'm here, nothing will happen." Xiao Chen said, opened the car door: "Lock the car door."

Su Qing locked the car door and worriedly looked at the direction of the villa, then took out her phone and called her sister.

"Hello? Sister, why haven't you come back yet?"

After a few rings, Su Xiaomeng's voice came through.

Hearing her sister's voice, Su Qing visibly relaxed: "Xiao Meng, are you at home?"

"Yes, I'm watching TV."

"Oh, are you alone?"

"Of course, who else would be here? Sister, why are you so strange?"

"Nothing, I'll be home soon. Lock the door first!"

"Okay."

Although Su Xiaomeng was puzzled, she still agreed.

"Okay, I'll hang up!"

Su Qing hung up, rolled down the window, and shouted to Xiao Chen: "I just called Xiao Meng!"

Xiao Chen paused, turned back, and nodded to Su Qing, feeling a bit relieved.

As long as Su Xiaomeng wasn't in their hands, he had nothing to worry about!

Moreover, since they could enter the villa area but didn't go after Su Xiaomeng, they probably weren't mortal enemies.

"Xiao Chen?"

A middle-aged man appeared in the light and looked at Xiao Chen.

"Who are you?" Xiao Chen stopped and looked at the middle-aged man.

That's it for today! I went to a family gathering, and then I was so tired in the afternoon that I fell asleep. I woke up around 8 or 9... I'll make up for it tomorrow!
