Chapter 406: Chapter 244: That Woman Gives Birth to a Boy_2

Chen Donghai was utterly baffled. It seemed like he was finally experiencing firsthand why Chen Cheng had insisted on fleeing with his team overnight.

Initially, in the car, he thought Chen Cheng was being overly sensitive and cautious.

But now, whether it was the surveillance on the vehicles or this seemingly vibrant street, Chen Donghai felt that doing business here indeed followed the rules of JQK.

First lure them in, then find a way to trap you, and finally, strike you down, leaving you beaten black and blue.

"Mr. Chen is really something else~" Chen Donghai thought to himself.

"Stand still."

Chen Donghai spread his arms to show he had no foul intentions. "What are you talking about?"

Ah Fang straightened up with a smile, "Pretending to be a gentleman."

Without Chen Cheng’s instructions, Chen Donghai didn’t know what his next step would be, so he said, "What does your boss Luo mean?"

"Our boss Luo said that today I should keep you company, Mr. Chen, and then tomorrow, Monday, he’ll be waiting for you in the city investment office."

Ah Fang flipped her long hair again, "Mr. Chen, my skills are very good."

Chen Donghai pondered for a moment. He thought it necessary to report this matter to Chen Cheng.

"Why don’t you order a milk tea here, and I’ll go back to the car to get some stuff."

"No need." Ah Fang patted the high imitation LV on her body, "I’ve got everything you need in here, guaranteed to make you have a great time."

"I prefer to use my own."

Chen Donghai adopted Chen Cheng’s demeanor and pointed to a seat in the corner. "You see, I don’t like others making arrangements for me."

"Got it! Don’t get mad~!" Ah Fang quickly smoothed Chen Donghai’s chest, "I’ll be waiting for you over there, okay?"

After she said that, she gave Chen Donghai a sultry look and walked over with a swaying hip.

Chen Donghai let out a small sigh of relief and headed towards where Chen Cheng had parked.

...

...

On the other hand, Meng Wanning who had left with Chen Cheng was very puzzled as to why that worldly woman would call Chen Donghai "Mr. Chen."

In her understanding, Xiao Hai was just a driver for Xiao Meier, usually low-key and unremarkable. Why would someone come looking for him?

And by the looks of it, that woman obviously knew Chen Donghai, and their relationship was not ordinary.

"Mr. Chen, who is that woman?"

As soon as she got in the car, Meng Wanning couldn’t hold back her curiosity and asked.

Seated in the back, Chen Cheng beckoned with his finger, and Meng Wanning leaned close. Chen Cheng briefly explained the situation to her.

Meng Wanning opened her mouth in disbelief, "So, this Mr. Luo wants to..."

She lowered her voice, "Send that woman to Brother Xiao Hai?"

Chen Cheng nodded with a smile, "Not only that. He probably wants to use the beauty trap to fish for some words and grab some leverage."

"Then Brother Xiao Hai, what if he..."

Chen Cheng was confident. "Don’t worry. Brother Hai has seen his fair share of big scenes. He knows what he’s doing with these little things."

Meng Wanning nodded, but quickly realized something and stared straight at Chen Cheng.

"Mr. Chen, if you hadn’t switched identities with Brother Xiao Hai initially, wouldn’t that frivolous woman have been sent to you?"

Chen Cheng’s smiling expression stiffened as he looked at her serious face. "Indeed! Good thing I had the foresight."

"I never expected that doing business could involve such deception," Meng Wanning shook her head in amazement.

"Money, power, sex, these three are inseparable."

Chen Cheng raised three fingers.

"Money is the foundation; power is the lever; and sex can sometimes be a lubricant, and other times an obstacle."

Chen Cheng spoke earnestly, "Look at this business deal, worth only about ten billion. But in this small place, Luo Ziyang, for his own benefit, did not hesitate to use such tactics."

"That’s because he values the potential benefits brought about by the little power in his hands."

Meng Wanning listened intently, as if she was reacquainting herself with a world beyond the stage.

"But... are these things... aren’t they all tempting people?"

Chen Cheng nodded slightly, "In this line of work, temptation is unavoidable. The key is in how you choose."

"Money can buy many things, but it can’t buy one’s heart."

"Power when held can be taken away at any moment."

"Sex brings temporary pleasure but doesn’t ensure lasting joy."

Chen Cheng paused, "Only when I find a balance, can they be of use to me."

Meng Wanning nodded as if she understood, then shook her head, "Mr. Chen, are you saying that these things always seem to be entangled with each other?"

"Yes, they’re inseparable."

Chen Cheng’s smile disappeared, "Money, power, and sex are tools, but they are also tests. Human greed magnifies immensely in their presence, and many have fallen because of them."

"So, the reason you and Brother Hai swapped identities was also to avoid these troubles?"

Chen Cheng didn’t hide his original intention, "It was Mr. Jin who asked me to do this at first, and then it was Xiao Hai who actively suggested it, and I just went with the flow."

He said solemnly, "Until today, when I met Ah Fang again, everything became clear."

"Clear?"

"This county is not big, but also not too small. Why would she be able to find us so precisely?" Chen Cheng countered.

Meng Wanning lowered her head and pondered for a moment, "The car!"

"You are quite clever!" Chen Cheng ruffled Meng Wanning’s hair, "I guess as soon as we returned, we were caught by the surveillance cameras on the road."

"That’s terrifying~"

Meng Wanning widened her eyes, expressing her worry for Chen Cheng, "Then... what if Luo Ziyang finds out you’ve been deliberately avoiding him?"

Chen Cheng said relaxedly, "The business is now out of his hands."

"Ah? Is there more to the story?"

Meng Wanning curiously grabbed Chen Cheng’s hand and shook it slightly, "Mr. Chen, you have to tell me! This is both interesting and suspenseful! It’s much more thrilling than listening to my master tell stories~"

Chen Cheng took the opportunity to pull Meng Wanning into his embrace, his fingers sliding across her slender cheeks, causing the young girl to blush with embarrassment.

"Let me tell you..."

Thump thump thump...

A succession of urgent knocks on the car window sounded, and Meng Wanning scrambled out of Chen Cheng’s embrace, straightening her hair.

Chen Cheng wound down the window, only to see Chen Donghai looking flustered, "Mr. Chen."

"Get in and talk."

Chen Donghai looked back to make sure Ah Fang wasn’t in sight before getting into the driver’s seat.

"Mr. Chen, something big has happened!"

This was the first time in over a month that Chen Cheng had seen Chen Donghai so panicked.

"What happened?"

"That woman, she’s throwing herself at me~!"

Chen Donghai cursed, but quickly realized that Meng Wanning was also in the car and promptly apologized, "Miss Meng, I’m sorry. About this..."

Meng Wanning shook her head, "It’s... it’s fine."

Chen Cheng raised an eyebrow, "Take it easy, what’s going on?"

Chen Donghai took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, then recounted what had just happened in great detail.

Meng Wanning looked up to Chen Cheng with admiration, "Mr. Chen, isn’t that just like your analysis?"

"Impressive, right?"

"Impressive! Impressive!"

"Mr. Chen, you know me. I’ve seen my fair share of tough times," Chen Donghai said with a troubled expression, "but this time with her..."

Chen Cheng laughed, joking, "Throwing herself at you, huh? You’re not trying to take advantage and then skip town, are you?"

Meng Wanning playfully slapped Chen Cheng’s arm.

Chen Cheng held her small hand, twirling it in his, "Since we’re being watched, we need to find a safe place."

"Are we going back to the city?" Meng Wanning asked.

Chen Cheng shook his head, "Leaving now would mean burning bridges. We may not be doing business anymore, but we still need to give face."

"Mr. Chen, what plan do you have?"

Chen Cheng thought for a moment, then took out his phone, "Since we’re in the county, and they like to watch the surveillance, we’ll let them watch and tell them our whereabouts."

Chen Donghai was ready to drive, looking into the rearview mirror, "Mr. Chen, where are we heading?"

"Hold on, I’ll make a call."

Chen Cheng scrolled through his contacts, found Cao Yue’s number, and dialed.

Dial tone...

"Xiao Chen?"

Chen Cheng let go of Meng Wanning’s hand and sat up straight, "Hey, Senior Brother, are you busy? Hope I’m not disturbing you?"
