" Summer sounded slightly puzzled: "But in the video, you seemed quite happy while singing."This question was also on Qiáo Dōnghǎi’s mind, but he didn’t dare to ask it directly. Now that Summer had as...Chapter 589: Coercion - Wuyou Chinese Network

"It's you who don't want a way out." Zhao Yujie glanced at Li Mingguang, quickly moved to the front of the car, threw his body aside, and then just before the car careened off the road, she regained control of the steering wheel.

Then, she picked up her phone and dialed a number: "Big Brother, it's done. You come and handle things afterward!"

Summer and Ye Mengying had just arrived at the hotel lobby and were about to head to the restaurant when Ye Mengying’s phone rang.

"Hello, who is this" Ye Mengying answered the call.

"It's me, Manager Guo!" A slightly sultry voice came from the other end of the line. "Is President Ye available right now"

"It’s General Manager Guo," Ye Mengying recognized her voice as that of Guo Lan from Yalaiou Group. After a brief moment's thought, she asked: "What is General Manager Guo looking for me for"

"It's nothing much, General Ye, now that you're in Beijing, I have to show my hospitality. It's almost noon, and I wonder if General Ye would honor me with a meal together" Guo Lan sounded quite enthusiastic on the phone.

Ye Mengying couldn't help but glance at Xia Tian; from her perspective, although she didn't particularly like Guo Lan either, considering that the latter had invited her repeatedly, she felt it was right to go. However, knowing that Xia Tian harbored even less affection for Guo Lan, she wanted to seek his opinion.

"Sis Beauty, don't go; eating with that woman affects my appetite," Xia Tian spoke up at this moment, clearly having overheard their conversation.

With Xia Tian's words, Ye Mengying naturally no longer hesitated: "Sorry, General Guo, but my husband has something to attend to here today. We can reschedule for another time."

"General Ye, I merely wish to invite you to a meal; why do you keep declining" Guo Lan's tone finally turned somewhat displeased, "Such a small matter, must you refuse me so bluntly"

"General Guo, I have my own life. In Beijing, I just want to spend a few days with my husband," Ye Mengying said coolly; this was also the truth. She and Xia Tian had rarely spent time together before, but now she wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to be with him more often. Besides, after their intimate encounter, she momentarily didn't want to leave his side.

Guo Lan gave a cold laugh: "General Ye seems to have a great mood; your cousin and niece just passed away, yet you don't handle their affairs but instead celebrate in a hotel with your lover. Is this what you're celebrating"

"Mr. Guo, this is a personal matter of mine; it's not your place to interfere!" Ye Mengying was also getting annoyed; would this person ever stop

Ye Mengying did not want to argue with Guo Lan anymore. After saying those words, she hung up the phone and smiled at Xia Tianyao: "Shall we go eat"

But just as she took a step forward, her phone notified her of an incoming text message. When Ye Mengying opened it, she discovered that it was actually a video.

When she played the video, Ye Mengying noticed that everything in it was pitch black and couldn't be seen clearly. But soon enough, she heard a familiar voice.

"Honey, I have something to ask you. You must tell me the truth."

"Sis, what is it"

"Ye Shaojie and Ye Mengyun's deaths—do they have anything to do with you"

Hearing this place mentioned, Ye Mengying suddenly turned off the video and her face instantly paled. She nervously glanced around to make sure no one had noticed them before letting out a slight sigh of relief.

"Strange, weren't those our words" Xia Tian was slightly puzzled.

"Husband, we must have been eavesdropped on," Ye Mengying softly said. Although she wasn’t very knowledgeable about such matters, she could deduce it from the situation. She felt anxious and asked, "What should we do now"

"Miss, don't be afraid, I am here to protect you." Xia Tian comforted Ye Mengying.

“But…” Ye Mengying couldn’t help but worry; if this evidence fell into the hands of the police, Xia Tian’s murder charges wouldn't disappear.

The phone rang again. Ye Mengying picked it up and saw that it was from Guo Lan who had called earlier.

She took a deep breath and answered the call as calmly as she could, asking, "Mr. Guo, is there anything else"

"Mr. Ye, you should have watched that video clip already" Guo Lan chuckled a little triumphantly on the other end of the line, "Actually, I have the full version here. I never would've thought that Mr. Ye, who looks like an ice queen, was anything but ladylike in **. It's just too bad that I couldn't see your marvelous performance there. But listening to those heart-rending, delicate moans of yours made even me心動呢！”

Ye Mengying’s pretty face turned red as she took a deep breath and said slowly, "Just state what your conditions are then!"

"Now that Mr. Ye has some time to spare, would you like to have dinner with me" Guo Lan smiled lightly, appearing rather pleased.

Ye Mengying replied coolly, “Then tell me the place.” At this point, she knew that there was no way around it and she had to go.

"Thousand Flavors Restaurant, Private Room 8. I’ll have the dishes ready for you." Guo Lan said with a smile before hanging up.

Ye Mengying turned her head towards Xia Tian, looking rather helpless, "Honey, we might as well go this time. It seems that all Guo Lan wants to do is threaten me into selling the company to her, so I should be able to retrieve the evidence."

"Alright then, beautiful senior sister, let’s go get the evidence back." Xia Tian nodded and muttered under his breath, "That dirty woman must really be tired of living!"

Ye Mengying hastily pulled Xia Tian out of the hotel and then hailed a taxi. It wasn't that she didn't want to drive, but rather she had no idea where Qianwei軒 was located. There wasn't enough time for her to slowly search for it, so taking a taxi would be faster.

Qianwei軒 was a unique restaurant; its most distinctive feature being the lack of any specific cuisine style. Some restaurants focused on Hunanese dishes, others Cantonese or Sichuanese fare, but Qianwei軒 offered all types of flavors in one place. If there were to be a signature dish here, it would be called the Thousand Flavors Platter, which was essentially just a hodgepodge of different dishes. Whether there truly were a thousand distinct flavors within this platter remained unknown.

In Room 8, Guo Lan and her tall, handsome assistant Chen Ziqiang were seated at that moment.

"Hmph, to refuse a friendly offer but accept the harsh one!" Guo Lan sneered and looked at Chen Ziqiang. "Qiang, you did an excellent job this time. Once we complete the acquisition, I won't let your efforts go unrewarded."

"Ms. Lan, there's no need for such talk," Chen Ziqiang quickly said.

"You have a silver tongue." Guo Lan gave him a flirtatious smile. "However, rest assured that I will share some of the spoils with you. Let me tell you, it’s going to be quite substantial—enough for your future without having to work."

"Ms. Lan, may I ask why we absolutely have to acquire Tiance Group" Chen Ziqiang now steered the conversation towards that topic. "Although Tiance Group is profitable, they are still far behind our Yalaiou group!"seat, with Summer following suit. At this point he could see that the driver was a woman in her thirties who had an ample figure and looked pretty decent, but she fell short compared to Mu Han. So he...
