C139 Be Caught in a Trap



C139 Be Caught in a Trap

Lin Ruoxi had already finished eating. She put down her chopsticks and elegantly wiped her mouth with a wet tissue, carefully folded the tissue and put it down. Then she didn't bother to look at Yang Chen who walked over with a smile, moved over to the sofa, sat down, picked up the remote control board and turned on the TV.    

    

Yang Chen thought about how to start the conversation, but just as he was about to say something, the news on the TV made Yang Chen shut his mouth.    

    

This morning's Zhonghai City headlines, the name very conspicuously marked "Terrifying bank robbery reappearance!"    

    

On the screen, there was a bank in Zhonghai that had its facade blown up and many walls blown up. It was in ruins and surrounded by yellow police tape. A lot of medical personnel were transporting and rescuing the bank staff and customers that had been carried out. Many people were pointing fingers on the side of the road, while many relatives were crying and scolding the police.    

    

According to the reporter, yesterday afternoon, at the bank that was blown up, seven or eight criminals sat in a modified Ford van and charged into the bank. Not only did they sweep away millions of people, they even injured a large number of employees and customers. In the end, with the speed of a modified car and the skill of a rampaging car, he escaped with his hostage to the outskirts of Zhonghai, where he managed to fool the police and evade pursuit.    

    

"There is such a blatant bank robbery in our country?" Yang Chen frowned and asked Lin Ruoxi, who was watching TV seriously.    

    

Lin Ruoxi glanced at him coldly, but didn't say anything as she continued watching the television.    

    

Yang Chen did not say anything else and continued watching the news.    

    

Not long later, the viewership ratings shifted to the police interview area. Yang Chen actually recognized the person on TV!    

    

Her hair was cut short to her ears, and her delicate oval face had handsome and charming features. Even in a loose police uniform, one could still see the full curves of her body. She was Yang Chen's old rival, one of Lin Ruoxi's few good friends, Cai Yan.    

    

But come to think of it, Cai Yan was a superintendent after all. She was the chief of West Region department, so it was normal for her to be on TV.    

    

However, Cai Yan was currently in a terrible mood. Her brows were furrowed and her expression was ice-cold. At any moment, she would make people feel like she was about to explode with rage.    

    

Seeing Cai Yan's expression, many reporters did not dare to ask any questions. An old reporter from Zhonghai Radio Station was pushed forward to ask, "Director Cai, this is the second bank robbery case in two months. According to the eyewitnesses, the criminals were the same group. In the last ten years, Zhonghai City had never committed a bank robbery, and only two cases had occurred in these two months. The relevant leaders of the city government are very angry. As the new Chief of West Region, what do you think? "    

    

Cai Yan was silent for a moment, then said, "This criminal has sufficient firearms, complete equipment, meticulous planning and robbing methods. He should be an organized criminal group. Their sudden appearance in the Middle Sea could have been a result of their stowaway crossing over from the sea. The other coastal provinces had also seen traces of their crimes, but they had never been able to apprehend them. It was a dereliction of duty on the part of our police that they successfully escaped after two consecutive robberies. I apologize to the people who suffered on behalf of the West Region police. "    

    

"What's the use of apologizing!? Our money! the life of a dead man! "    

    

"What the hell are the police doing? Get lost, change people!"    

    

The scene was a bit chaotic. A member of the suffering family started shouting crazily outside the reporter's circle. Soon after, quite a few people started scolding the police for their incompetence.    

    

Cai Yan's expression was pained, but her voice was firm. "I, Cai Yan, swear to everyone here that I will bring all the criminals to justice. If there is a next time, I will resign and never involve the police again!"    

    

The news was released yesterday afternoon, but it was just released this morning. It was clear that the city government had considered this carefully, since this kind of thing would cause panic among the public, but paper could not contain the fire. There were too many people watching, so they had to let it out for everyone to know.    

    

After Lin Ruoxi finished reading the news, she suddenly switched off the television, picked up the cordless phone and dialed a number.    

    

"Hello, Yanyan. It's me, Ruoxi."    

    

"Mm, are you alright?"    

    

"That's great, take care. Say hello to Uncle Cai on my behalf, bye!"    

    

In less than fifteen seconds, Lin Ruoxi hung up the phone and stood up to go back upstairs.    

    

Yang Chen was deeply moved. This woman was even so cold to her close friends. She was obviously worried, but she said very little. Could it be that she had some psychological problem with the barrier of communication?    

    

Seeing that Lin Ruoxi was about to go upstairs without saying a word, Yang Chen couldn't help but ask, "Ruoxi, aren't you going to ask your husband where I went last night and why I didn't call home?"    

    

Lin Ruoxi wasn't as disgusted with Yang Chen's intimate greetings as she was at the beginning, she was completely immune to them. Now that she heard Yang Chen's question, her steps on the stairs paused. She turned around and asked expressionlessly, "I'm asking you, will you tell me the truth?"    

    

Tell the truth? He said that he accompanied Mo Qianni to eat dinner at a roadside stall for the third time, that he went home with her, that Mo Qianni wanted to kiss him, and that he pretended to sleep to be kissed by her? Or was he feeling guilty towards Mo Qianni now?    

    

Yang Chen finally understood why Lin Ruoxi was the CEO and managed such a big company. Even if they didn't ask, they already knew. He didn't know how to tell the truth!    

    

"That... I can't tell you the truth this time, but I'll tell you the truth next time. But actually, I'm also good at lying. It sounds like it's true. Do you want to listen to it? " Yang Chen suggested.    

    

The corner of Lin Ruoxi's mouth lifted slightly as she sneered, "Keep it for other women, I don't need it."    

    

Lin Ruoxi went back upstairs, but after a few steps, she turned around and said, "Oh right, last night after you left, I had a discussion with the senior about a cooperation project. It will be the company's main task for the next year. I'm going to go on a business trip to Hong Kong next week to meet another co-investor, and I'm going to tell you right now so that you don't do the same impolite thing you did last night. "    

    

Impolite? It seemed like Lin Ruoxi pretended to be angry at Zeng Xinlin on purpose last night, but that was good as she didn't have to explain something she didn't want to.    

    

Wait! Work with Zeng Xinlin!? Lin Ruoxi is on a business trip!?    

    

Yang Chen felt that something was amiss and immediately asked, "Why are you going alone? Could it be that you're going to personally contact Zeng Xinlin for this project? "    

    

Lin Ruoxi nodded. "The investment is huge. I've always had a plan, but it hasn't been implemented. I'm not sure about leaving it to others, so I'll go by myself."    

    

"Does that mean you have to see Zeng Xinlin more and more when you work in the future?" Wu Tie asked in annoyance.    

    

"What, you don't agree?"    

    

Yang Chen nodded without any hesitation. Wasn't this sending fat into the fox's mouth? How could he let it happen when there was no return?    

    

"But this project is very important, and the other party is an Italian investor. I'm the only one at the top of our company who is proficient in Italian."    

    

"It's just Italian. I know Italian too!"    

    

The moment he finished speaking, Yang Chen suddenly realized that something was wrong! It was as if this was a trap set up for him!    

    

Sure enough, a faint playful smile appeared on Lin Ruoxi's frosty face. Her smile was like a little white flower, extremely adorable.    

    

"Since you said that, it seems that I must give you a chance. Let you volunteer to complete this difficult task for me. After all, we are husband and wife. I still have a bit of trust in you." Lin Ruoxi said with a smile.    

    

Yang Chen's expression turned bitter, "Good wife of Ruoxi, how can such a difficult business negotiation be given to someone like me who doesn't know anything. Why don't you send someone else? There are quite a few capable people in Yu Lei, I'll be their interpreter."    

    

"No, this project is not open to the public. I need someone who can carry out the plan in secret. If you don't want to go, then I'll go by myself." Lin Ruoxi threatened.    

    

Yang Chen was convinced. He was forcing himself to make a choice between "wife" and "lazy"!    

    

"Let me think." Yang Chen took out a cigarette and lit it for himself, while smoking it, he walked around the room.    

    

Lin Ruoxi was not in a hurry. She crossed her arms in front of her chest and looked down at Yang Chen. Her mouth was full of pride.    

    

Yang Chen thought for a while. Although his illness should be relieved as much as possible, doing more work should not be too burdensome. As long as he was careful not to be too engrossed, it should not be a problem. However, if he didn't do it and his wife went to Zeng Xinlin's side, then he would be in big trouble! I can't really kill Zeng Xinlin, can I?    

    

Yang Chen pushed the cigarette butt into the ashtray, then raised his head and said, "Ok, I'm going to risk it. Just don't blame me for messing things up!"    

    

"No way!" Lin Ruoxi's face was serious. "Things have to be done well. This will greatly affect the company's future development for the next five to six years. I will not allow you to fail!"    

    

"No way. This is my first time on a business trip." Yang Chen smiled bitterly.    

    

"Relax, this matter is not difficult to talk about. Basically, this is an irrefutable cooperation. What you need to do is to check the details according to my request, to maximize the benefits, and to invite the other party to Zhong Hai to make the final decision. "Sign a document or I'll go and finish it."    

    

Yang Chen asked hesitantly, "It can't be that I'm going alone, right? Someone has to help me with my reference. "    

    

"I will ask Qianni to go with you. If you have anything you're unsure of, you can discuss it with her. You're the leader in this project, so she won't give you too much advice." Lin Ruoxi said.    

    

Yang Chen's legs went soft. Well, he just got into an argument with Mo Qianni last night, and now they're going on a business trip together again. It would be better if they don't see each other when the time comes.    

    

"What? You want Qianni to be with you? Is there a problem?" Lin Ruoxi asked, feigning ignorance.    

    

Yang Chen quickly waved his hand and smiled. "No problem. Of course it's good to have a beauty to accompany me. Hehe, I'm just overwhelmed by the favor …"    

    

Lin Ruoxi had no other choice. Although Mo Qianni had already expressed her feelings for Yang Chen, Lin Ruoxi believed that the rational Mo Qianni would never do something that would let her down. The collaboration this time was indeed very important. They needed people they trusted. Therefore, it was the best choice to let Yang Chen and Mo Qianni, who were proficient in Italian, go together.    

    

Lin Ruoxi thought more about the relationship between relationship and career than Yang Chen.    

    

"You don't need to be cocky in front of me for you to think about all that nonsense. With your appearance, if Qianni really likes you, I have nothing else to say."    

    

Lin Ruoxi let out a helpless sigh. Some things were really tiring for her due to her EQ. She gave Yang Chen a final look, then turned around and walked back to the study room.
