The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 796 - 811: Rejected

Gu Nanxi flicked the ash from her cigarette into the ashtray: "Still not planning to talk?"

"I’ll talk, I’ll talk... I’ll tell you everything, just don’t hit me."

The bodyguards beside Gu Nanxi were professionally trained; they certainly didn’t hold back when it came to beating people.

The man stood up, holding the edge of the coffee table, feeling like his bones were about to be shattered by them: "Actually, I’m just a small thug. Yesterday, someone came to me at the bar entrance, told me to come here today to handle this woman, and I could even get paid. Of course, I had to agree to such a good deal."

"Who was it that contacted you, do you know their name?" Gu Nanxi’s terrifying black eyes pierced through the thin smoke.

"I don’t know; it was too dark then. He was wearing a hat and mask, I didn’t even get a clear look at him."

The man paused and continued: "Last night, he gave me ten thousand yuan in cash. Just now, I was calling him to get the rest, but before I could finish, you all burst in." 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

Gu Nanxi handed the phone in her hand to Assistant Cai: "Check the number that just called."

"Yes, President Gu." Assistant Cai took the phone and walked out.

As the door opened, Assistant Wang, who was eavesdropping, almost fell to the floor, but managed to brace himself against the door frame in time.

"Going out huh, how did the questioning go?" Assistant Wang asked awkwardly.

Assistant Cai just nodded slightly and then left.

Qi Shangyu, leaning against the wall smoking, had already begun to suspect his mother when he saw Xia Mo in the monitoring room.

He casually dropped the cigarette butt on the ground, stamped it out with his shiny leather shoe, and strode into the elevator.

"President Qi, where are you going?" Assistant Wang, seeing Qi Shangyu entering the elevator, hurriedly followed.

When stepping out of the elevator and walking out of the hall, Assistant Wang realized that the entrance was already guarded by Gu Nanxi’s people. No wonder that man didn’t run but hid inside instead.

Assistant Wang approached the car, about to open the door to the front passenger seat, only to find it locked: "President Qi, unlock the door."

Qi Shangyu ignored him, buckled his seatbelt, floored the accelerator, and the car sped away.

Assistant Wang was left dumbfounded, staring blankly at the direction the car left, suddenly feeling a sense of being slighted.

Qi Shangyu’s car soon stopped in front of the villa. When he pushed the door and walked inside, Li Jiaxue was playing mahjong in the side hall.

"Young master, you’re back." The servant said respectfully upon seeing Qi Shangyu return.

Qi Shangyu did not respond, walked past with a grim face, and approached the side hall: "Was it you who did it?"

Hearing Qi Shangyu’s voice, Li Jiaxue raised her head and looked at him, putting down the mahjong tile with her nails painted: "Why are you back today?"

"I asked if it was you who did it at the banquet?" Qi Shangyu’s voice turned icy cold.

The other three in the side hall wisely left, saying they would play again another day.

Li Jiaxue smiled and nodded, only speaking after they left: "What kind of tone is that to speak to me, there are still outsiders around."

"Answer my question, were you the one who troubled Zhong Li?"

Qi Shangyu propped both hands on the mahjong table, his angry eyes sharp with intensity.

Li Jiaxue knew that Qi Shangyu would attend today’s banquet and that everyone had to bring their partners. She had called yesterday intending for Qi Shangyu to take Xia Mo with him, but was refused.
