Chapter 497 A Pledge of Allegiance! Only Interests Last Forever!
Early in the morning.
Qiu Yanfei suddenly woke up.
My mouth is dry and my throat feels like it's on fire.
He hurriedly got up, grabbed the bottled water from the bedside table, twisted off the cap, and gulped it down.
The cool mineral water, gulped down, felt incredibly refreshing.
I had just finished drinking the water when I suddenly felt the urge to urinate, so I quickly got up and ran to the bathroom...
After using the toilet, wash your hands in front of the mirror.
That's when I realized I hadn't removed my makeup before going to bed last night.
At this moment, the makeup on my face in the mirror is still a bit smudged.
What happened last night?
Why did I go to sleep without removing my makeup, washing my face, or changing into my pajamas?
In an instant.
The scenes from yesterday kept flashing through my mind like a movie playing on fast-forward.
Thinking back to yesterday's opening of the Land Rover Haomen 4S store, the whole family went to congratulate Zhao Ruilong...
Then I remembered that after Zhao Ruilong visited the He family, I went with him first to Zhuhai, and then took a boat to Shenzhen. On the way, Zhao Ruilong talked to me about the cross-sea bridge, and then I received a breakup call from my girlfriend...
I also recall watching Zhao Ruilong and his powerful father, Zhao Lichun, play tennis at the tennis court, and then having dinner, drinking, and chatting with many high-ranking officials that evening...
He recalled his drunken outburst, how he was still somewhat conscious but couldn't help acting crazy, not only hugging and embracing Zhao Ruilong but also saying a lot of incoherent things, and even seemingly kissing him...
The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I get!
The more I think about it, the more embarrassed I get!
Qiu Yanfei quickly shook her head and then ran water to wash her face.
Last night was truly embarrassing.
How could I have done something so embarrassing?
Originally, I came to Shenzhen with Zhao Ruilong to get acquainted with the powerful and influential people.
Now look what's happened! He's become a familiar face, but he's also completely humiliated.
The big shots will definitely remember me for the rest of their lives!
The daughter of the dignified gambling king of Macau, drunk, actually flirted with Zhao Shuji's son, Zhao Ruilong, in public!
If this gets out, how will I ever be able to face anyone again?
Who would believe that they don't like men and only like women?
Qiu Yanfei became increasingly distressed as she thought about it.
I wish I could go home right now and never go out again.
Just then, a crisp cell phone ringtone came through.
"Who is it? Why are you calling so late!"
Qiu Yanfei turned off the tap.
With her face completely wet, she went straight back to her bedroom.
I found my phone and glanced at the caller ID.
"Ying-jie, are you alright? Why are you calling me so late? Don't you get any sleep?"
Qiu Yanfei sat down angrily.
Holding a phone in one hand and wiping her face with a tissue in the other.
"It's extremely urgent, Yanfei! Otherwise, I wouldn't have called you so late and several times. Were you sleeping just now?"
"Yes! What's so urgent? Tell me quickly!"
"Do you remember Liu Jun, whom I told you about this morning? He's the deputy mayor of Dongshan, the powerful figure behind the rampant drug production and trafficking in Tazhai Village for years. I even begged you to persuade Boss Zhao to help get him out of there?"
"I know, what's wrong?"
"Didn't you have dinner with General Manager Zhao and Secretary Zhao last night? Don't you know that Liu Jun, who was detained, pretended to be sick and went to the hospital, and successfully escaped?"
Qiu Yanfei was taken aback.
"My God, he managed to escape! He's got some skill!"
He Chaoying sneered, "He and the people behind him are somewhat capable, but not much. Although they were able to escape from the hospital in the chaos, they can't escape Shenzhen now."
"His escape immediately put Shenzhen on a state of military alert, with not only land, sea, and air blockades, but also a city-wide manhunt. They told me to find a way to escape abroad via Hong Kong..."
Qiu Yanfei became an instant sensation.
"So you called me in the middle of the night, several times, wanting me to plead with Zhao Ruilong again? Let me tell you right now, those two, father and son, are upright and would rather have Liu Jun shot. Absolutely not..."
"You've misunderstood!!"
He Chaoying said urgently, "I don't want you to plead with them to let Liu Jun and the others escape abroad. On the contrary, I want to use their lives to give the Zhao family father and son a New Year's gift!"
"..."
Qiu Yanfei suddenly stood up, completely stunned.
Yesterday morning, another 50 million US dollars was offered to Zhao Ruilong to bail out He Chaoying.
Now their attitude has completely changed, and they're even willing to betray Liu Jun and the others.
"Yanfei, what do you think of my idea?"
He Chaoying asked anxiously.
"me……"
Qiu Yanfei scratched her head, feeling like her mind was completely muddled.
If the human brain were like a computer mainframe...
Qiu Yanfei estimated that her CPU was almost smoking.
"What's wrong? Just tell me what's on your mind!"
"Tell me your thoughts first!"
"I think that no matter whether Liu Jun and his group can successfully escape abroad, they are now powerless and ineffective. If I continue to cooperate with them, it will not only not bring me much benefit, but will also make me make more mistakes."
"and then?"
"Then I thought that Liu Jun's escape must have been extremely serious, and Zhao Shuji must have been furious, otherwise he wouldn't have launched a city-wide manhunt overnight. Since Liu Jun and the others are so important to Zhao Shuji, and they just happen to want me to help them escape, why don't I hand them over to Zhao Shuji?"
Qiu Yanfei slowly sat down.
At that moment, she suddenly realized how terrifying He Chaoying was.
When there are benefits, she is willing to take risks and cooperate.
She would not hesitate to betray someone if there were no benefits for her.
He Chaoying is clearly a pure businesswoman.
In her eyes, there are only eternal interests, not eternal friends.
For her, betraying her former partners, such as Liu Jun, would allow her to curry favor with the powerful Zhao family.
This is not a breach of faith or a lack of loyalty at all; on the contrary, it is a matter of being pragmatic, knowing what to choose and what to discard, and even doing justice for the people and acting on behalf of Heaven.
Thinking of this, Qiu Yanfei suddenly remembered seeing He Chaoying's happy expression when Zhao Ruilong took out the official document at the 4S store that morning.
Perhaps at that moment, He Chaoying had completely forgotten about saving Liu Jun and only wanted to curry favor with the Zhao family so that she could receive more favorable policies in the future.
"I understand! But with your enthusiasm and initiative, you obviously don't just want to be a chivalrous hero and a good citizen, right? Tell me your conditions!"
He Chaoying smiled.
"My dear sister, you are indeed incredibly clever. Actually, I don't have any conditions, just one small request. After Liu Jun and the others are caught, they might confess some things in order to atone for their crimes and reduce their punishment. I hope that the part about me... you understand?"
Qiu Yanfei chuckled.
"I understand, of course I understand you! I'm a businessman too, and we're even related by blood, how could I not understand?"
“You are determined to take over your father’s business and manage the gaming and entertainment industry in Macau, so of course you don’t want to be implicated and go to jail.”
"As long as you can truly cooperate in capturing Liu Jun and others, make great contributions, and voluntarily return the embezzled funds, I believe you will definitely be fine."
After He Chaoying hummed in agreement twice, she hurriedly said:
"Then there's no time to lose, you should go find Mr. Zhao right now!"
"Liu Jun and the others are in a panic right now, urging me to find a way to help them escape to Hong Kong tonight!"
Qiu Yanfei then said "okay," hung up the phone, and got up.
But after leaving the house, I realized that I hadn't brought my room key with me.
Moreover, he flirted with Zhao Ruilong after drinking at the banquet last night.
I'll go find him now...
Wouldn't that be too embarrassing?
"How to do?"
Qiu Yanfei turned around and tried to open the door, but it was indeed impossible.
He thought that He Chaoying was waiting for him to call back, and that a large number of police officers were searching for Liu Jun overnight.
"Since He Chaoying can use Liu Jun's head as a bribe to beg for forgiveness, I can also hitch a ride and apologize to Zhao Ruilong by assisting in the arrest of Liu Jun!"
Thinking of this, Qiu Yanfei immediately stopped hesitating.
He decisively went to Zhao Ruilong's door, knocked on the door and rang the doorbell.
A moment later, Zhao Ruilong's voice came from behind the door.
"Who?"
"It's me, Qiu Yanfei. I have something urgent to discuss with you."
"What's the rush? If you're here to apologize for what happened last night, then there's no need. I haven't taken it to heart. You should go back to your room and get some rest!"
"No, I have news about Liu Jun."
The door was flung open.
Qiu Yanfei's eyes widened instantly, and she gasped.
Under the dim yellow light of the corridor.
Zhao Ruilong, with his well-defined muscles, exudes an indescribable, robust beauty.
Unlike those muscular men who spend a lot of time in the gym, eat protein powder, and even get various injections.
Zhao Ruilong's muscular physique makes him look more sunny and healthy, with a more athletic and masculine appearance.
Especially below the eight-pack abs...
Where is Liu Jun hiding?
Zhao Ruilong's question made Qiu Yanfei suddenly look up, no longer looking down.
"May I come in and talk?"
"Alright, come in! But don't close the door!"
"This is of great importance, let's close it. What if someone hears us?"
"Alright!"
Zhao Ruilong turned around, opened the wardrobe, took out a new bathrobe, and put it on.
Seeing this scene, Qiu Yanfei felt a pang of regret for some reason.
It's as if the beautiful scenery and wonderful sights have been deliberately obscured.
"Oh my god, what's wrong with me? I actually want to look at his muscles one more time!"
"Didn't I hate men? Didn't I dislike men? Why do I suddenly want to feast my eyes on them?"
Qiu Yanfei's cheeks burned, and her heart pounded wildly.
After sitting down on the sofa, Qiu Yanfei didn't dare to look Zhao Ruilong in the eye.
"Tell me, where is he hiding?"
Zhao Ruilong held his phone, looking like he was about to call for an arrest as soon as he got the location.
"Actually, I don't know where he's hiding either. Here's what happened: my second sister, He Chaoying..."
Qiu Yanfei mustered her courage and quickly and concisely repeated what she had said.
After she finished speaking, she didn't care how Zhao Ruilong responded.
Instead, his gaze seemed to try to see through Zhao Ruilong's bathrobe, fixed on him.
Zhao Ruilong, who was focused on capturing Liu Jun as soon as possible, naturally did not notice Qiu Yanfei's unusual expression.
"Since Sister Chao Ying is so willing to rid the people of this scourge, how could I not support her?"
"Call her back now, and let me say a few words to her once you get through."
Qiu Yanfei nodded quickly.
The call was answered immediately after it was made.
Clearly, He Chaoying was waiting for her to call back!
"Sister Ying, I met with General Manager Zhao and spoke to him briefly. He said he supports you in fighting for the people. Now he wants to say a few words to you. You two can talk!"
