Love in the Midst of Mistaken Identities

Chapter 757: It Turned out to be Shen Wei’s

However, it called again after a while.

He picked up the phone and placed it by his ear.

“Hello?” The low voice had some coldness with it. “Who are you?”

“Chu Lui, it’s me.”

Chu Lui lowered his lashes slightly. “Um, may I know who you are?”

“I’m Tang Jiangnan.”

“Tang Jiangnan?” Chu Lui held the phone tight. “Tang Jiangnan... Tang San?”

“Yes. You can call me Tang San, Brother Tang San, or you can just follow your wife Xia Ruoxin and call me Brother San. Up to you.”

Chu Lui stood up. It was a surprise that Tang San would call him today. So Tang San’s original name was Tang Jiangnan. He had been in the underworld for a really long time and was the mastermind behind Jiang Nan, and he had quite a lot of power in the underworld.

He had never interacted with Tang San as he was in the light, but he was in the dark. Even though they were on opposite ends, they were not opponents. He did legal businesses, but Tang San’s hands were filled with blood so he did not like interacting much with him.

“May I know why Brother San is looking for me?” He asked politely and distantly.

“Actually, it’s not much, but I want to tell Mr. Chu something.” Brother San’s voice paused before he said a bunch of numbers.

Bang! The office door was opened, and before the secretary could stand up and greet him, Chu Lui had already walked out in big steps.

“CEO...

“That...

“Meeting...”

However, what replied to her was the numbers on the elevator dropping quickly.

Chu Lui took his phone and placed it by his ear.

“Jingtang, hold the meeting later. I have something to do so I’m leaving.” After he finished talking, he put the phone down and did not even give Du Jingtang a chance to speak.

Not long later, in Jiang Nan Entertainment...

Tang San personally poured a glass of wine for Chu Lui.

“Thank you.” Chu Lui took it and rubbed his finger against the cup in his hand. “There aren’t many people who can drink wine poured by Brother San himself so I must be honored.”

“Please help yourself.” Brother San laughed and poured himself a cup.

Logically speaking, both of them should not be seated together; but at this moment, they were. They were even drinking a bottle of wine and laughing together, but at the same time, they were testing each other.

Brother San put his cup down, and the smile on his face dropped. When he smiled, he seemed pretty friendly; but when he did not, he looked cunning. After all, he had spent many years with blood on his knife so his murderous aura had already infiltrated his entire body.

“Brother San, do you have something to say to me?” Chu Lui put down his cup. “How did Brother San know about that number?” He had been checking that number for half a year, but he had no news or any clue about that number.

It was not a blank number as it had an owner, but the name and the details were all blank. It was obvious that someone hid it on purpose. However, there were not many things or people he could not find out about in this world.

“That number...” Brother San’s fingers tapped on the cup on the table. “I knew you were investigating it, but something cropped up here a while back so I only had time recently. As for that number...” He picked up his wine glass and placed it by his lips before taking a big gulp which burned his throat.

“The number is Shen Wei’s. It’s her personal number so it’s normal if you can’t find anything about it. As for why she wanted to call Xia Ruoxin, I think she dialed wrongly. She was probably looking for me, but in a sick twist of fate, she called Xia Ruoxin instead.”

“They went missing together?”

Chu Lui held the cup tightly. He had thought of many reasons, but he did not think it would be related to Shen Wei. Back then, she did say that she was going to look after a friend, which should be Shen Wei.

Just that, where did they go?

“Yes, together.” Brother San stood up. “I have been investigating this recently, and I found out that they had been sold. As to where they were sold to, I can’t figure it out yet.”

“Sold?” Chu Lui could not even believe what he just heard. It was no wonder he could not get any news for the past half a year because they were not even in the country and were sold to some other place that was shut off.

After all, he had put up missing people posters everywhere: on the Internet, television, and newspapers; there were a lot of imposters, but none of them were here.

“Yes.” Brother San turned around. “Not only you can’t find it, but I can’t either. The only thing I know is that they took the sea route.”

Chu Lui leaned back against the chair and extended his head to pick up the glass cup, which reflected light onto his finger.

“There are a few routes one can go by sea. What does Brother San plan to do? Go out to sea?”

“It’s not a good way.” Brother San sat up. “I thought about it but like what you said, there are quite a few routes. If we chose one, there would be a lot of chances in it. If our luck is good, we could meet them with our first pick, but if our luck is bad and we missed a few routes, it would mean spending a couple of years.”

“Time might be a lot to us, but to them, I don’t know. Perhaps it would just be that few days, and they would lose their lives.

“Do you believe in your luck? Mr. Chu?”

Brother San turned the watch on his wrist and asked Chu Lui.

“My luck has always been good, and...” Chu Lui frowned slightly. “I never only depend on luck. I use my capabilities too. Luck is just one aspect, but capabilities would definitely lead to success.”

“There are some things that can’t just count on luck alone.”

“Indeed.” Brother San nodded. “So I don’t want to use luck or just depend on it. I believe Mr. Chu wouldn’t want to do so either, right?”

When one really bothered, one would not dare to let go of it... even if it only had a fifty-percent success rate. However, they still could not gamble as the two women were irreplaceable to them both.

“I think we might need to work together.” Chu Lui extended his hand and placed it in front of Brother San, and so did Brother San. Both of them shook their hands, and from both their eyes, one could see indisputable worry.

After Chu Lui went back, he dumped the company on Du Jingtang.

“I need to go out once.” Chu Lui said in front of Du Jingtang. “My returning date is not set. You’re responsible for everything in the company now.”

“Aren’t you afraid that I would steal your company?” Du Jingtang had unwillingness written all over his face. There was nothing good about this CEO position as he had to slave for it, so he definitely did not want to do it.

It was cold at high places, and if something went wrong, one would just fall to their death.
