The lady's face changed from ugly to even uglier, and her laughter was no different than crying.
She sat in the living room and dealt with Lian Beichuan and Gu Qingdai fearfully, fearing that she would say something wrong.
Gu Qingdai saw her glancing outside the guest room door from time to time, and guessed that at least the smell was at home.
Gu Qingdai glanced at Lian Beichuan, and Lian Beichuan immediately lowered his face and said something angrily to the lady, who was so panicked that she almost dropped the water glass in her hand.
How could Nawen watch his mother suffer this, and immediately appeared in the guest room.
"Then why did you come out?" The lady stood up nervously, extremely restless.
Nawen comforted his mother and pushed her back to the room to rest.
"Second Master Lian, why do you have to make it so difficult for my mother to be a woman?"
Nawen walked past Gu Qingdai and bowed to her. He did not expect that Gu Qingdai would be with Lian Beichuan at this time.
Lian Beichuan sat on the comfortable soft leather sofa and said, "Your mother should not have been pushed to the front from the beginning."
Nawen filled up the water cup for Lian Beichuan, "My father is really not at home..."
"Tell me as much as you know." Lian Beichuan stared at his eyes, trying to capture something from them.
"Don't say you don't know anything. Young Master, the Na family and the Lian family have never been enemies, right?" Gu Qingdai followed.
Na Wen smiled bitterly and joked: "Shopkeeper Gu is also a friend in need."
"That young master is joking." Gu Qingdai glanced sideways at Lian Beichuan and saw that he had no intention of refuting.
If it wasn't for the wrong timing, she really should have fallen out with Lian Beichuan on the spot!
"My father is probably with Song Yueting and maybe Yuan Sen. Mr. Lian may not be able to find them tonight." Nawen sat next to Lian Beichuan, his expression becoming extremely serious.
Lian Beichuan changed his posture and re-examined Na Wen, and motioned for him to continue talking.
"Song Yueting invested a lot of money in organizing the beauty pageant, but of course not all of it was his money."
"The sponsorship from Lu Kee Company is not a small amount of money."
"Second Master Lian, you should see who can benefit the most from this matter?" Na Wen showed a cunning expression.
In fact, Hong Tao didn't tell him anything. He made all the guesses.
This game tonight is for Lian Beichuan, and the purpose is to shake the credibility and status of Lian's Trading Company in Luancheng.
Lian Beichuan recalled that Lu Mingze had discussed the beauty pageant with him. Apart from their high-profile sponsorship by the Lu family, he had not seen any other large investors in Luancheng.
But according to what Na heard, Song Yueting secretly accepted other people's money.
Giving money secretly without getting anything in return? This doesn't make sense at all. Businessmen can't afford it early if they don't make any profit.
"Second Master, my father often had no choice but to harm you. He never wanted to harm you." Na Wen secretly stated his position.
Lian Beichuan put his fist to his lips and thought for a long time, "What do you think it will be like if the matter is not resolved after tonight?"
"The newspapers will report that Lian's Trading Company secretly hid opium paste and caused a murder. If the family of the deceased goes to Lian's Trading Company to make trouble again, no matter what the facts are, Lian's Trading Company will be affected. Maybe you, Er Ye, will be affected. The position of president of the Chamber of Commerce..."
Gu Qingdai stood up suddenly and said, "Second Master, we have to leave quickly."
Seeing that Gu Qingdai was frequently worried about herself tonight, Lian Beichuan couldn't help but feel secretly happy.
But he pretended to be calm on his face. Although he stood up, he pressed Na Wen again: "Where does your father usually like to go for fun?"
Na Wen understood that Lian Beichuan was going to find Song Yueting, so he struggled to name a few names, "I hope Second Master Lian won't make things difficult for my father."
Lian Beichuan lowered his chin slightly and agreed to the news.
"Na Wen only said half of what he said just now. The ones really surrounded in the dock now are the machine manufacturers and the transport fleet. Once this matter is not handled well, it means that you will have no possibility of cooperating with them in the future."
Gu Qingdai looked anxiously at Lian Beichuan's chest. Her implication was exactly that: That shot you received was going to be in vain.
"You and Song Yueting are destined to be incompatible because of where you sit, but if he wants to deal with you, he really won't do it during a beauty pageant."
"It's the Fan family, I guessed it." Lian Beichuan glanced at Gu Qingdai, who was worried about himself, and raised a somewhat ugly smile.
The words of Wen have clearly reminded me, who benefits the most from this matter?
Last year, Lian Beichuan raided the Fan Family Medical Center and mercilessly exposed their gathering to smoke cigarettes.
Although after a few months, their medical clinic reopened.
But how can the money earned from serious medical treatment be compared with the huge profits from smoking cigarettes?
Among the four major families, the Lu family focuses on construction and decoration, and the Gong family focuses on clothing and department stores. Only the Fan family and the Lian family are involved in the same industry, with grain and medicinal herbs as their main business.
Only by preventing the Lian family from moving toward mechanization can the Fan family's situation be saved in disguise.
Gu Qingdai and Lian Beichuan both thought of the cigarette paste found on the ship. Isn't this the best way to show retaliation?
Gu Qingdai even understood why Fan Zheng was idle every day and his family basically didn't interfere.
With Fan Zheng's IQ, how could he participate in such a level of calculation?
But it is precisely because he is from the Fan family that Na Wen, who hangs out with Fan Zheng all day long, can smell something, right?
These are just the inferences of Lian Beichuan and Gu Qingdai, and direct evidence needs to be found.
Lian Beichuan went to one house after another based on the name he heard, but Song Yueting was nowhere to be found.
Gu Qingdai also learned for the first time that the nightlife in Luancheng had become more and more abundant.
There are five or six teahouses that are as good as the Awakening Lion. How can she win over the guests?
Gu Qingdai had to be prepared for danger in times of peace.
"What would you say if you find Song Yueting?"
"I have not decided yet."
"No matter how ruthless Song Yueting is, he is still after money and profit."
"are you tired?"
Gu Qingdai froze, "I'm talking to you about something serious."
Lian Beichuan looked down at her feet, "It's too hard to walk such a long way with me in high heels."
"Even Beichuan!" Gu Qingdai didn't know where to hide her feet.
The two of them have arrived at the last location provided by Nawen, Osmanthus Blossom Tower.
Gu Qingdai was already familiar with this place. She wanted to tell Lian Beichuan about the crash that night several times, but she gave up in the end.
The waiter in Guihua House refused to say a word, but Gu Qingdai accidentally caught a glimpse of a few familiar figures from behind. Those minions had followed Song Yueting to the Xingshi Tea House.
The two of them finally stopped outside the big box on the top floor.
"Everyone should be inside."
"Just wait for me here obediently, okay?"
Gu Qingdai curled her eyes and smiled, "Hey, have you been fooled by the excitement today? You are so mean in your words. Why should I go in with you? This matter has nothing to do with me."
"I brought you out. I have to bring you back safely. Wait for me, soon."
After saying this, Lian Beichuan turned around and kicked the door open vigorously.
The originally lively private room suddenly became quiet.
