Chapter 539: Chapter 319: Information Crush, Meeting

"Every day, it was top-tier restaurants and perfectly planned itineraries. I thought you had arranged it."

"Until the second person arrived. It was her."

Chen Jinyu pointed a hand at Du Xiaoman. "When we were chatting at night, I saw her phone’s screen saver and realized that she was also your... uh..."

"The two of us discussed it and figured this had to be a setup. We tried to message you, but we couldn’t get through. The messages wouldn’t send."

"Then, she arrived."

Chen Jinyu pointed at Yaoyao again. "I also talked with her. She said she’s your ex-girlfriend and that someone gave her five million to invite her here."

Lin Chu’s gaze shifted over again.

Seeing that once incredibly familiar, but now slightly strange face, his mood... was truly beyond words.

Wang Zhefei’s eyelids were twitching furiously at this moment. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚

He had met Yaoyao before, too.

Of course, he knew that it was only after Lin Chu broke up with this "ex-girlfriend" that he started on his path to riches.

’It’s just... outrageous!’

’Fucking outrageous!’

’Liszt... is pretty damn impressive.’

Yaoyao, dressed in a camisole and jeans, bit her lip. Her eyes were watery, and her gaze was somewhat complicated.

"I thought you were the one who arranged it... can’t forget old feelings, you know."

"And they gave me so much money, so of course I had no objections. I figured, why not come?"

"But after talking with them, I realized someone is definitely messing with you. But they don’t seem like bad people, either. After all, they gave us so much money. It’s weird."

"It couldn’t be your current, official girlfriend, could it?"

She threw up her hands, speaking with a helpless look. She clasped her hands together in a mock prayer to the air and raised her voice. "Ma’am, I’m just an ex-girlfriend! I admit it, I was blind! I didn’t recognize his potential and broke up with him back then! After we broke up, I piggybacked on his popularity to make a little money from my livestreams, but now, we have absolutely no relationship whatsoever! He blocked me a long time ago!"

"This man is so heartless. After he got rich, he wouldn’t even give me the time of day!"

Lin Chu: ...

The slightly bizarre scene somehow became a bit more comical with her words.

Lin Chu nodded at her but didn’t say much.

’What’s in the past is in the past.’

Her personality was actually quite quirky; she’d always been mischievous and playful.

Perhaps, to her, this whole situation even felt exciting and fun, especially with five million on the table. But she had no useful information.

"Next!"

"What’s your story?"

Lin Chu looked at Du Xiaoman while quickly glancing through the letter he’d been handed.

’They’re all more or less the same. Nothing special.’

Du Xiaoman pursed her lips. "I got a message from you telling me to come to Switzerland to see you, and then two million showed up in my account. I thought it was like last time—that you’d run into trouble and wanted me to lay low for a bit—so I came. When I messaged you, someone actually replied. They just sort of led me along until they brought me here."

"What kind of person is this?"

"So capable?"

"He seems to have faked your chat profile picture! I really thought it was you! There were even people to pick me up at the airport, and they all said you sent them."

"They were all very respectful to me and didn’t try anything."

Du Xiaoman was actually the jealous type, but since no one else was bringing it up, she didn’t either. She focused on explaining the situation first.

Although she had a faint sense of danger, she’d had a lot of fun these past few days, so her sense of crisis wasn’t that strong.

"Let me see?"

Lin Chu said, taking her phone and glancing at it.

Sure enough, there was a chat history with her under his own profile picture.

He pulled out his own phone to compare, but they didn’t match at all.

Taking her phone, he sent another message to himself.

He didn’t receive it.

The message was intercepted.

’This must be Liszt’s core tactic.’

After all, he was the one who sent that Level 1 priority message earlier.

Technically speaking, this kind of method wasn’t too difficult to pull off.

After all, many scam organizations already used it.

The barrier to entry wasn’t very high.

’Right now...’

Lin Chu wasn’t too worried about this so-called Chaotic Scene.

He didn’t give a damn. It’s not like he’d lose a single hair over it. At worst, there’d just be some arguing.

’If anyone argues too fiercely, I’ll just tell them to get lost.’

’Reviewing the situation again...’

Lin Chu had basically figured it out. Someone must have read all his past phone chat logs, analyzed these people precisely, and then one by one, either coaxed, tricked, or invited them... gathering them all here.

’But... what’s the motive?’

’Showing off his power?’

’Causing trouble?’

’Or... a test?’

’Hmm?’

Just then, Lin Chu suddenly thought of a crucial question...

"Is there anyone else?"

"Just you guys?"

’There are still some "fish that escaped the net."’

’A playboy’s fish pond has more than just these few fish in it.’

"N-No... I don’t think so?"

"There shouldn’t be anyone else, right?"

"Eight. Eight of them. Eight in total... I’m sure."

"Everyone’s here..."

After getting a definite answer, Lin Chu finally had a rough idea of the situation.

The people involved with his company, like Gu Jiayan, Yang Huixian, Liang Jieyu... and Dongnya, were not among them.

This at least showed that Liszt’s actions were still restrained.

He hadn’t expanded the scope of the "battlefield."

He thought for a moment.

"Fuck!"

"Old Gao, just execute them all!"

Lin Chu suddenly turned his head toward Gao Haitao and let out a strange cry.

Hearing this, Gao Haitao was completely stunned.

’What the fuck?’

The women across from them were all scared stiff.

"Hahaha... I’m kidding. You all calm down for a minute, and I’ll calm down too. This is seriously troublesome."

"Are you all morons? Someone tells you to come, and you just come?"

"A bunch of fools!"

"You’re all fucking useless! You can’t help with anything, and all you do is cause more trouble!"

"Old Gao, watch them! Just wait! I’ll handle this!"

"If you want to get back alive, you’d all better behave yourselves right now!"

Lin Chu snapped out a few more words, then pulled out his phone and walked off into the distance, looking like he was about to make a call.

’At a time like this... nobody better cause a scene!’

’First, I need to get this situation under control.’

The group: ...

Watching Lin Chu walk away, they then looked at Gao Haitao, all feeling rather complicated for a moment.

"Brother Fei, Brother Fei, what on earth is going on?"

Yaoyao knew Wang Zhefei and couldn’t help but ask, a hint of panic in her eyes.

Right now, Lin Chu seemed even more terrifying than that "mysterious person."

Even though he was joking, he really had a gun!

Wang Zhefei glanced at her and shrugged. "It’s a life-or-death situation."

"Someone’s trying to take down Brother Chu. A really powerful guy, the boss of some old-money consortium from the United States. If things go wrong, people could die."

"Right now, nobody move. Stay quiet. If... if there isn’t a mole among us, then at least we’re all in this together."

"Don’t worry about whether he’s a scumbag or not for now. If I had that much money, I’d be even more of a player than him. That’s all. Everyone, let’s head inside first."

Wang Zhefei gave a few instructions, his head throbbing. It was a massive headache, like his brain was about to explode, but he managed to stay calm for the moment.

’Things have already come to this. We can only take it one step at a time and play it by ear.’

...

Lin Chu walked a little farther away.

First, he called Dongnya.

This was the phone he had switched to, but he still wasn’t sure if it was being "monitored."

He made the call.

It connected.

He confirmed she was safe; she was in class.

After a brief, quiet chat, Lin Chu hung up and then called Yang Huixian, Gu Jiayan, and Liang Jieyu one by one.

They were all fine, perfectly safe.

His communications with them hadn’t been intercepted, but he wasn’t sure if they were being "watched."

Even though he was furious, Lin Chu forced himself to calm down. He lit a cigarette and exhaled a long plume of smoke.

Just then, Lin Chu suddenly saw a man and a woman in the distance pushing a wheelchair. A white-haired old man was sitting in it, and they were heading this way.

Lin Chu took a deep breath, stuck his hands in his pockets, and strode toward him.

’Today’s business... the main act is about to begin!’
