Chapter 878 – Does your conscious hurt?

Although Su Tao hated Wang Jiajia and Gu Yang, he could only end the matter here. Because of his interception, it did not cause any greater loss. At the same time, it was a wake-up call to let them know that Ni Jingqiu wasn’t a pushover. Enough was enough.

Wang Jiajia and Gu Yang were both from the Wang and Gu Families. If this matter blew up, it would be unfavorable to Ni Jingqiu and Su Tao’s business in Beijing. This was why he had to keep it under control because he was no longer the man without any concern.

He had to consider those around him. If the Wang and Gu Families took their revenge against the Three Flavour Hall, he could leave, but what about Ling Yu and the employees?

Su Tao’s thoughts were gradually becoming mature. Ever since Qin Jingyu tried to harm Yan Jing, Su Tao had already found his responsibility. Not only did he have to be responsible for the future, but he also had to be responsible for those around him.

With more people starting to gather around him, his thoughts also became more comprehensive.

But a warning was still needed. If he only stopped Old Zhong and left without warning Wang Jiajia, who knew what Wang Jiajia would do next.

When he came to the elevator, Xia Yu was no longer around. Coming down to the underground parking lot, Xia Yu flashed his headlights. Su Tao walked over and asked, “Where are the two of them?”

Winding down the window, Xia Yu smiled, “I put them in the back row. I’ll interrogate them when I go back and get rid of this con team once and for all.”

Su Tao threw a peek and saw Old Zhong tied up like a dumpling. As for Qu Wanwan, her restrain wasn’t that tight. Su Tao felt no sympathy for her seeing that she was tearing up. Who knew if she was only shedding crocodile tears.

According to ancient western legends, crocodiles were both ferocious and cunning. When they look at their prey, they would first shed tears to lower your vigilance before launching a sudden attack.

Nodding his head, Su Tao replied, “Send the information to Chen Guang and let him get the upper-level’s attention. We still have to start from controversy to arouse public opinion. Otherwise, the market will not be purified.”

“I have already called Chen Guang. He has also been paying attention to this matter. A few years ago, many people launched similar articles, but they were only brushing past. Those cases only involved hundreds of thousands. But it’s different this time. Tens of millions are involved in this matter, so we can get Chen Guang to dig deeper.” Xia Yu smiled.

Su Tao nodded his head. He glanced at Qu Wanwan, who was lying in the back row, and sighed inwardly. She was blessed with such appearance, but why did she have to be a thief?

Su Tao had a good opinion of beautiful women. Qu Wanwan was absolutely stunning, but there was no way he would get involved with such a woman. She had already lost her humanity, and she was no different from the devil. If he did not intervene in this matter, Lu Yunchuan might be driven to death by now.

Xia Yu naturally had his own ways to pry open Old Zhong’s mouth. After Xia Yu got what he wanted, he would send the two to the police station and let them be punished by law.

Returning to the vehicle that Ni Jingqiu was in, Su Tao handed the USB flash drive over and smiled, “It’s settled! I have already intimidated Wang Jiajia. So I believe that she won’t harass you for the time being.”

“Wang Jiajia again?” Ni Jingqiu smiled bitterly. “She’s really annoying.”

“Well, not many people in China dares to buy your trade secrets, right?” Su Tao replied.

“That’s true.” Ni Jingqiu shoved the USB flash drive in her bag. “Thanks. I’ll treat you to a meal as my gratitude.”

“How’s Wanwan?” Lu Yunchuan suddenly asked.

Su Tao sighed gently. Qu Wanwan was ruthless to Lu Yunchuan, but Lu Yunchuan still had feelings for her. Then again, it was more to reluctance because he had already given so much, only to receive betrayal. This kind of heartbreak was indescribable.

“She has already been taken away by my friend because she has a team behind her involved in sham marriages. So we have to dig to the bottom in this matter. As for your losses, I will try and get it back for you.” Su Tao gave a simple explanation.

Shaking his head, Lu Yunchuan smiled bitterly, “I’m not stupid. I just don’t want anything to happen to her. I can still accept her if she’s willing to spend her life with me.”

Su Tao shook his head. He exchanged a glance with Ni Jingqiu before responding to Lu Yunchuan, “This is the poison of love. It makes people fall into a trap. But after everyone calms down, the love and hatred will slowly disappear after half a year. You will find everything back to normal.”

“I hope so.” Lu Yunchuan nodded his head heavily.

Lu Yunchuan was in a terrible mood, not to mention that his house had been occupied. So Ni Jingqiu sent him to a family-owned four-star hotel to live temporarily. Meanwhile, Su Tao and Ni Jingqiu found a fairly quiet place nearby to have hotpot together.

The restaurant was bustling with activity. Su Tao waited briefly before he smiled, “Why is it so quiet here? Is it because the food here is bad?”

Glaring at Su Tao, Ni Jingqiu rolled her eyes, “Don’t worry about it. The hot pot here is authentic. Furthermore, look at the time now. It’s already past 1, and it’s past the peak.”

“Well, I knew that you wouldn’t be petty enough to brush me off with a cheap lunch.” Su Tao joked.

“Don’t push your luck. I’m a frugal person, and I rarely eat a big meal like this.” Ni Jingqiu smiled.

Rolling his eyes, Su Tao shook his head, “I’m not a three-year-old kid. Doesn’t your conscious hurt lying to me blatantly?”

Would a rich girl like Ni Jingqiu be stingy and reluctant to spend?

“Even Qu Wanwan’s conscience doesn’t heart. So why would someone as innocent as I hurt?” Ni Jingqiu smiled. “I actually have a tight schedule, and my secretary had to remind me to eat. I usually have a takeaway. So it’s rare and relaxing to eat out with friends.”

Su Tao knew that Ni Jingqiu was speaking from the bottom of her heart. He reminded, “Pay attention to three meals a day, or you will have a problem with your health.”

Brushing her fingers, Ni Jingqiu smiled, “My best friend is the best physician in the world. So why do I have to be worried about anything happening to my health?”

Su Tao smiled bitterly. He knew that it was futile to refute and sighed, “I wouldn’t be your best friend if I knew about this. So you will learn how to love your body.”

TCM emphasizes nourishing health, keeping healthy habits for longevity. Ni Jingqiu’s idea of falling ill first before treating was absolutely unacceptable.

“When are you leaving?” Ni Jingqiu asked after the hot pot was served.

“After the hospital lecture. It should be next week.” Su Tao smiled. “What’s the matter? You can’t bear for me to leave?”

Shaking her head, Ni Jingqiu smiled, “Yeah. I feel that it’s boring in Beijing without you around.”

“I’m actually pretty annoyed at myself. I’m always causing problems where I go. There are too many injustices in the world, and I can’t stand having dirt in my eyes.” Su Tao replied.

Ni Jingqiu picked up a piece of beef and placed it in Su Tao’s bowl. She smiled, “It’s not entirely bad for you to be a busybody. At the very least, you solved a problem this time.”

“What are you going to do with Lu Yunchuan in the future?” Su Tao asked, chewing on the tender beef.

“Why are you suddenly asking about him?” Ni Jingqiu looked at Su Tao in perplexion.

“I think that you should give him a chance.” Su Tao smiled. “I know you too well. If I’ve guessed correctly, you will persuade him to leave after his condition stabilizes.”

Ni Jingqiu’s eyes flickered, and placed her chopsticks down, “As an executive in the company, is there a reason for me to keep him around after committing such a huge mistake? Even if I don’t try to persuade him to leave, he will also resign based on his character.”

“Then keep him around!” Su Tao replied seriously. “After this event, he will grow further. At the same time, he will also be more loyal to you if you keep him around. For an executive, what do you think is more important? His ability or loyalty?”

“Both.” Ni Jingqiu smiled.

Su Tao did not go any further into that topic because he knew that he had already convinced Ni Jingqiu. This could be considered his last help to Lu Yunchuan.

Since he had decided to save Lu Yunchuan, he might as well do it thoroughly.

If Lu Yunchuan leaves Newlight Media, it would be a major impact on his life. Lu Yunchuan’s ability to withstand setback was weak, or he wouldn’t have thought of committing suicide under Qu Wanwan’s threats. If Lu Yunchuan couldn’t bear the pressure of unemployment, then he might never be able to get up on his feet ever again.

Ni Jingqiu had several important matters to deal with in the afternoon. So after the two of them had lunch together, Su Tao took the subway to the Three Flavour Hall. The subway in Beijing was always flooded. When Su Tao finally got into the vehicle, he received a call from Xia Yu, “Old Zhong has already confessed to everything. They’ve accumulated countless wealth in this industry, and Qu Wanwan is only a member of the team. Not only are they committing the crime in Beijing, but they also have teams in other places as well.”

Su Tao sighed inwardly. He could only say that there were many single men and women in China, allowing these conmen to take advantage of the situation. He replied in a solemn tone, “Send them to the police station. Since there is solid evidence of their scam, we will be able to recover Lu Yunchuan’s money without any problem.”

The next day, Chen Guang, the chief reporter of Nanyue’s City News, published a blockbuster article, 《Deep into the market of Sham Marriages》.

Subsequently, his article caused a national sensation. The State Council immediately issued a document requesting the matchmaking market’s nationwide rectification to prevent such fraud from taking place.
