Subconsciously looking up, Wu Qiang finally saw Shen Nanyi. He recognized her at a glance, his eyes glinting with greed.
"Just tell me what you're here for!" At this moment, Wu Qiang was desperately short of money. Seeing Shen Nanyi was like grasping at a straw.
"Were you just calling Wu Fang?" Looking at the man in front of her, Shen Nanyi couldn't muster the slightest bit of fondness.
Hearing Shen Nanyi's words, Wu Qiang thought for a while and seemed to understand something. "Who are you talking about? I don't know anyone like that."
Although the words were a rejection, Wu Qiang's eyes never left Shen Nanyi. He was waiting for her to offer a deal.
"As long as you cooperate with me, money won't be an issue." After spending some time in the Shen Corporation, Shen Nanyi had become much better at sizing people up. One look from Wu Qiang and she knew what he wanted.
With this promise, Wu Qiang's smile widened. But he still wanted to test Shen Nanyi's bottom line. "Our relationship is pretty good, and if she's doing well, it'll benefit me too, right?"
These words might sound like Wu Qiang was thinking about Wu Fang, but anyone could see what he really meant.
Looking at Wu Qiang, Shen Nanyi just felt nauseated. How could there be such a person?
"She's doing well now, but I'm sure it doesn't sit well with you. How about I give you a chance to take everything she has? Are you interested?" Suppressing her chaotic thoughts, Shen Nanyi spoke again.
Regardless of who Wu Qiang was, this meeting with him made Shen Nanyi sure that coming to him was the right decision.
It seemed that the so - called father - daughter bond didn't exist for Wu Qiang.
"...How can I trust you?" Shen Nanyi's words made Wu Qiang drop his pretense. He excitedly looked at Shen Nanyi.
All his current expenses were covered by asking Wu Fang for money. Although Wu Fang would give him some, it wasn't as reassuring as having the money in his own hands.
Simply put, if he had money, he wouldn't have to grovel to Wu Fang every time.
But he knew that even though Ji Jiale wasn't as powerful as before, he still couldn't afford to go against him. So he had been biding his time. Now that there was a chance to turn things around, he was naturally willing to take the risk.
Shen Nanyi didn't say a word. She just tossed a folder to Wu Qiang. "Take this to Ji Jiale. He'll give you what you want."
After throwing the folder to Wu Qiang, Shen Nanyi gave a hint and then turned to leave.
She believed that this thing would be put to good use in Wu Qiang's hands. He definitely wouldn't miss such a great opportunity.
After Shen Nanyi left, Wu Qiang opened the folder. After glancing at the contents, a malicious smile spread across his face. Then he dialed Wu Fang's number again.
This time, Wu Fang still didn't answer the call. But Wu Qiang wasn't angry. Instead, he dialed another number. "Hello, Mr. Ji. I'd like to talk to you about something regarding Wei Wan."
After dialing the number, Wu Qiang said a few words. Then they agreed on a time and place.
Because it was so quiet around, even though Shen Nanyi had walked some distance, she could still hear what Wu Qiang was saying. A faint smile curled up on her lips.
Stumbling on the bumpy ground, it was already evening. Due to a power outage, the urban village was pitch - black, in stark contrast to the bustling traffic not far away.
Song Ning followed behind Shen Nanyi, carefully observing the surroundings.
Suddenly, two guys jumped out and blocked Shen Nanyi's way.
The leader was a seventeen - or eighteen - year - old boy. He sized Shen Nanyi up and down, looking rather lecherous.
"Hey, little girl, you're here with someone?" he drawled in a sleazy tone that made people uncomfortable.
Song Ning stepped in front of Shen Nanyi, looking disdainful at the guys.
What happened next was no surprise to Shen Nanyi. Soon, there came the wails of the boys.
Song Ning's clothes weren't even messed up, while the young hooligans were lying on the ground in a disarray.
Loosening her muscles, Song Ning felt a bit disappointed that the guys had fallen so quickly.
The young hooligans had thought they could take advantage of Shen Nanyi, but instead, they were easily knocked down by the girl beside her. They felt quite embarrassed.
"Don't come closer! Don't come closer!" Seeing Song Ning approaching again, one of the youths shouted, his eyes filled with panic.
He was really scared by Song Ning's moves. She looked so delicate, but somehow she was so strong. He felt like his arm was about to break.
He had no mood to harass the two girls anymore. All he wanted was to leave this place as soon as possible.
"Do you know who I am? If you hit me, my family won't let you go!" Just as Song Ning was about to get closer again, the young hooligan shouted, trying to scare Shen Nanyi.
Song Ning didn't care. She took three quick steps and was about to strike.
If it had been two defenseless girls who came here today, they would surely have been bullied by these guys. Song Ning had no sympathy for them.
"Do you know the Tang family, the wealthy Tang Corporation? Tang Lin, the eldest miss of the Tang family, is my sister!" Seeing that Song Ning wasn't intimidated, Tang Junliang was really scared.
This statement did make Song Ning stop. She turned to look at Shen Nanyi.
She knew a bit about the commotion Tang Lin had caused recently, but she had never heard that the Tang family had a young master.
Wasn't it because the wife of the Tang family couldn't have children that they adopted Tang Lin? And wasn't Tang Lin an orphan? Where did she get a younger brother?
Shen Nanyi was also confused. She looked closely at the guy in front of her and actually found that he did resemble Tang Lin a bit.
"Come on, let me go now, and I'll act like nothing happened." Tang Junliang thought he had won the bet when Song Ning suddenly stopped. He raised his voice.
Shen Nanyi finally walked over. She kept looking at Tang Junliang, and the more she looked, the more she thought he resembled Tang Lin.
Tang Junliang was still chattering away, trying to persuade Shen Nanyi to let him go.
A moment later, Shen Nanyi calmly took out her phone and dialed a number. Tang Junliang thought she was going to verify his identity and felt a bit nervous.
"Hello, is this 110?" To everyone's surprise, Shen Nanyi didn't play by the rules. She directly called the police.
The incident happened in an urban village with a high crime rate, and considering Shen Nanyi's identity, the police responded very quickly. Before Tang Junliang could figure out what was going on, he was taken away by the police.
Not far away, two people were watching Shen Nanyi's group, constantly monitoring the situation.
