Translator: 549690339
Yun Xiangxiang thought about Cheng Youzhen and found out a lot about Milai, but most of them were specious. There was no real evidence, and the entertainment industry had always been like this, she didn’t really believe these things.
She also didn’t think that Milai was able to get to where she was today because of her beauty and luck. That was why she didn’t act rashly.
She had been following Milai carefully and was almost discovered by Milai several times. Fortunately, she was well prepared, so Milai thought that she was a reporter who was digging for information.
Milai was so cautious. Logically speaking, she should have stopped, but for some reason, it aroused her prying heart.
She always felt that people who were aboveboard shouldn’t be so vigilant. Even if they were, there was no need to hide it like this.
Judging others by themselves, Cheng Youzhen was somehow certain that Milai had something to hide.
Following this road was not an option, so Cheng Youzhen could only check Milai’s schedule and ambush him in advance. Unfortunately, the people around Milai were loyal to her, so Cheng Youzhen spent a lot of time and money but got nothing.
A coincidence happened that day. Cheng Youzhen came to the best hotel in Beijing to get a room to entertain her best friend.
Her best friend’s family and hers were family friends. Their family background was better than hers. Her best friend secretly came to find her because of something that couldn’t be told to outsiders. Her father couldn’t know about this, so she left her assistant and driver behind, all the people her father arranged for her personally came to book a room for her best friend.
She put on a disguise. When she left, she happened to see Milai’s assistant. Because she paid attention to milai, Cheng Youzhen had a deep impression of this assistant. She heard that the assistant booked a suite three days later.
She followed the assistant out of the hotel and saw him get into Milai’s private car. The car quickly drove away.
Cheng Youzhen was a little puzzled. Actors like them could be considered frequent guests of this big hotel. They could basically make a reservation with a phone call. If it weren’t for the special circumstances and the need to be cautious, she wouldn’t have come personally.
Why did Milai not use the phone to make a reservation? She wanted her assistant to make the reservation personally, and she herself followed.
After memorizing the room Mi Lai had booked, Cheng Youzhen searched for her and paid a high price to a cleaner who managed a suite in the hotel. She asked her to place a wechat recording bug in the room on the day Mi Lai made the reservation.
That day, in order to avoid suspicion, she forcefully endured it and did not go to the hotel.
The next day, she successfully got what she wanted. She did not know if it was because of the cleaner’s placement or some other reason, but the recording was very short. There were only a few conversations between Mi Lai and a man.
“Help me one more time, and we’ll be even.”It was the man’s voice.
After a long time, Mila’s cold voice was heard. “When we parted ways, we said that we wouldn’t be involved anymore.”
“You promised at that time that you would help me once in the future.”The man’s voice was very steady.
“I don’t want to do such a thing again. The risk is too great now.”Mila’s tone was a little irritated.
“Don’t forget, without me, you wouldn’t be where you are today.”The man’s voice suddenly became gloomy, “When you left home in a sorry state, they were so heartless. Everyone was forcing you. I was the one who reached out to you. I supported you until now. If you didn’t have your current glory, they wouldn’t have accepted you again. Now That I’m in trouble, shouldn’t you repay me?”
These words immediately piqued Cheng Youzhen’s curiosity. She was as anxious as a cat scratching her heart. She really wanted to know what they were trying to say.
Mi Lai was silent for a long time before she said, “I have some savings over the years. I’ll give you 500 million as repayment for your kindness back then.”
500 million was all Mi Lai could afford now. If she pawned some jewelry and real estate, it would increase a little. However, she was a public figure. If she sold what belonged to her openly, the impact would be quite bad.
“I need 1.5 billion to put my business to good use.”
When Cheng Youzhen heard this, she was so scared that her heart tightened. Her father had saved all his life, but he couldn’t take out 500 million just because he wanted to, let alone 1.5 billion. Cheng Youzhen grew up in a wealthy family, this number was too big for her.
“Do you think I’m a bank?”Milai’s tone was unfriendly. “I’m very grateful that you helped me back then. Don’t Be Insatiable?”
She seemed to have sensed Milai’s displeasure, the other party’s attitude softened. “It’s been seven or eight years since we split up. I haven’t called you in these seven or eight years. If I wasn’t in a desperate situation, why would I come to You? I really need at least 1.5 billion.”
“I have no choice…”
There was nothing after that. There was nothing left. Cheng Youzhen was so anxious that she almost smashed the thing in her hand. Fortunately, she calmed down in time and went to the computer to save the recording.
However, after she copied the recording into her computer, Yang Qi, who had been watching her on the Internet, stole a copy of the recording and sent it to Yun Xiangxiang.
Yun Xiangxiang played it. After listening to it, she didn’t expect Cheng Youzhen to have this ability.
She immediately ordered song Qian, “Find out who entered the hotel that day.”
“Alright…”
“Wait.”Before song Qian could turn around, Yun Xiangxiang called out to her, “Cheng Youzhen will definitely investigate as well. You have to protect her. Her ability is limited. Don’t let the other party find out. I don’t want to alert the enemy.”
Mi Lai had always been ruthless and ruthless. If it was an ordinary person who threatened and forced her like this, she would have done it a long time ago. However, even though Mi Lai was angry with this person, she was actually so easy to talk to in the face of a huge blackmail of 1.5 billion, it was really a little illogical.
Yun Xiangxiang guessed that there were only two possibilities. Either Mi Lai was a person who valued favors, and because she was grateful to this person, she would not kill him easily, or this person was very difficult to deal with, and Mi Lai did not dare to make a move against him, the reason why she did not dare to was very likely that she had some fatal evidence on this person.
They had investigated Mi Lai before, but they had missed this part even though song Qian had such a detailed intelligence network. It was clear that the relationship between Mi Lai and this person was not only extremely obscure, but it was also beyond Yun Xiangxiang’s expectations.
Not only Cheng Youzhen, but even Yun Xiangxiang could not wait.
“What are you thinking about?”When Song Mian returned home, she saw Yun Xiangxiang supporting her chin with one hand. Her gaze fell on the blooming flowers in front of her. Her eyes were empty, and it was obvious that she was thinking about something.
“Something that you are not interested in.”Yun Xiangxiang knew that if she said that, Song Mian would definitely know that it was about Milai, so she changed the topic, “You have been leaving early and returning late these past few days. Moreover, you come back every day with the fragrance of flowers. Where have you been?”
Song Mian smiled. “To arrange the wedding for you, of course.”
