Chapter 223 Tips
Lu Youyou shook her head, "I don't know, but I guess...maybe it's Gu Jingchen?"
Her voice trailed off, clearly indicating a lack of confidence in her answer.
"Gu Jingchen? Zhang Weimin shouldn't have the guts to offend Gu Jingchen."
Lu Youyou let out a breath, "Gu Jingchen has invited me to become his partner time and time again, but he wants me to leave the gang and not take you with me."
Wang Qiao was very clever and understood immediately: "So, you mean Gu Jingchen wants to get rid of us so you won't have any ties?"
Although that's what Lu Youyou thought, she still felt a little embarrassed and shy when Wang Qiao said it out loud.
She wasn't overestimating herself, but Zhang Weimin was kind to everyone, yet he was tortured by so many people sent by a gang leader. The only person she could think of to order this was Gu Jingchen.
……
Shen Taiyang kept scrolling through his friend list and found that the profile pictures of the people he had sent to torment Zhang Weimin had gradually turned black.
He kicked the table leg hard, shaking the drawers out.
"That old bastard Zhang Weimin actually had the ability to kill so many of my brothers? No! That can't be right, he must have had the help of those two bitches, Lu Youyou and Wang Qiao!"
But no matter what Shen Taiyang thought, he couldn't go out to see it now.
Being able to hide in his room and read the messages was already an privilege he had as Gu Jingchen's capable assistant.
He'll be going out soon.
That damned Gu Jingchen actually built a factory on the highway as a base, and even made people work there!
If it weren't for his outrageous rules, I could have personally gone to help my brother!
"There must be a way, there must be a way..."
"I've got it! Chen Yan! She can help me!"
……
hum~
Lu Youyou's watch vibrated, indicating that a friend had sent a message.
She didn't waste any time and immediately clicked to read it.
[Chen Yan: Sister Youyou, I need to talk to you about something. Can I teleport to your location?]
Why is Chen Yan looking for me?
Lu Youyou's impression of her was that she was a rich, naive girl with a love-struck mind.
[Lu Youyou: No, I don't want to see strangers.]
Chen Yan: I can give you 10,000 gold coins.
[Lu Youyou: ...You and your boyfriend Bi Qixin are having another fight? I can talk to you online; there's no need for an in-person meeting.]
[Chen Yan: No, someone wants me to kill you. He can see where I am. If I don't go there, he'll know I'm disobedient and will never trust me again.]
Seeing this, Lu Youyou couldn't help but wonder if she and Wang Qiao had misunderstood Gu Jingchen earlier?
Is the person who wants her dead and the person who wants Zhang Weimin dead actually the same person?
But Chen Yan's arrival was too coincidental. Could it be that Chen Yan is the mastermind behind it all?
[Lu Youyou: Give me the gold coins first.]
Xiaolu Broadcast.
[Received 10,000 gold coins as a gift from my friend Chen Yan.]
The navigation started broadcasting the message the next second.
An unfamiliar vehicle has been spotted 13 meters behind your car. Please be prepared.
"Sister Youyou, it's me, Chen Yan!"
Lu Youyou pulled over to park, and Chen Yan's RV followed suit.
"Sister Youyou, please get out of the car. For our safety, let's not get into each other's cars. Let's talk outside."
Lu Youyou got out of the car without saying a word, just staring at Chen Yan.
Her skin was very fair, but she looked tired and her skin condition was not good. Her hair was also dry and frizzy, and she looked like she had suffered a lot.
"Sister Youyou, I..."
Chen Yan stammered a bit, so Lu Youyou asked directly, "Tell me quickly, didn't you come to see me because you have something to tell me?"
Chen Yan forced a smile and said in one breath, "Bi Qixin wants me to get on good terms with you and then kill you."
"Bi Qixin? Your boyfriend?" Lu Youyou asked疑惑地, "Then why are you telling me?"
"Because I don't want him to be my boyfriend anymore, I want to get rid of him, and helping you kill him is the fastest way."
Lu Youyou scanned Chen Yan's face suspiciously. Something was wrong with someone so love-struck.
“Sister Youyou, I know what you’re thinking, but look.”
Ignoring the biting winter wind, Chen Yan took off her heavy cotton-padded coat and pulled up her thermal underwear.
Goosebumps quickly appeared on the exposed skin, and the body hair stood on end from the cold.
But what's most striking are the old and new scars on Chen Yan's body.
If Bi Qixin frequently beats and scolds Chen Yan, then it's not impossible for Chen Yan to want Bi Qixin dead, Lu Youyou thought to herself.
“This wasn’t done by Bi Qixin,” Chen Yan said. “It was done by a member of my gang.”
Lu Youyou felt like her brain had shut down. Was this still speaking Chinese? Was there any connection between the sentences?
"So you mean, you're the gang leader, you can't control your members, your members often beat and scold you, and then you want me to kill Bi Qixin? Does that mean Bi Qixin has sidelined you?"
Chen Yan put on her cotton-padded coat, and suddenly a string of tears streamed down her face.
She immediately wiped them away to prevent the tears from freezing on her face.
“Sister Youyou, Bi Qixin didn’t just sideline me. That was his gang all along. I was his puppet in name only, and a sitting duck for the gang members to bully.”
“Those people don’t respect me. They don’t cooperate at all when I relay Bi Qixin’s orders. It’s common for them to argue and shout at me, and they even beat and scold me when they’re drunk!”
"But I could see clearly that those people had just drunk Sprite! They deliberately wanted to hit me! I messaged Bi Qixin for help, saying I didn't want to be the gang leader anymore, and guess what he said?"
Lu Youyou replied, "I don't know."
Before he could finish speaking, Chen Yan interrupted him.
She moved her lips, then closed them again, deciding not to disturb Chen Yan and to listen patiently to what she had to say.
"That son of a bitch Bi Qixin told me to put up with him, saying they're all his brothers! If I fall out with my brothers, they'll fall out with him!"
"Then what am I? Am I the lever that balances them?! Why should their peace be maintained by a woman like me?"
"Now that's settled, because of an accident, the gang's membership has been drastically reduced. He has no brothers left to use, so he's set his sights on me, wanting me to kill you, without even considering my strength."
"Heh, since he's been unkind to me, I'll be unkind to him in return. He sent me here to die, so I'll let him die first!"
After saying that, Chen Yan took out a handkerchief, covered her face, and burst into tears.
Seeing that Chen Yan remained silent, Lu Youyou finally had a chance to speak.
"Chen Yan, you just said that the number of gang members has been greatly reduced. Does that mean they're all dead?"
"They're all dead, their profile pictures are all black."
Lu Youyou had a vague guess in her mind, and tentatively asked, "Did they die today?"
"Yes, it seems like I received some kind of mission from Bi Qixin. A large group of people were teleported to a certain place, but I didn't receive any notification and don't know where they went."
Suddenly remembering something, Chen Yan added, "I overheard someone muttering that they were going to kill some old man with pockmarked features, saying that the old man looked scarier than a monster."
"Sister Youyou, is the old man they're talking about related to you? Did they receive the order to kill you before I did?"
