The man revealed his real purpose for bringing Gu Anrou here. "Lu Chuanbai's men have sealed off that piece of land. There are guards, so I can't get in. I need you to take me in."
Because of the unpleasantness with Lu Fenglin before, Lu Chuanbai was worried that Lu Fenglin might play some dirty tricks, so he sent a large number of men to patrol the island.
He also paid the local residents a high price to leave. The man had been lurking there for a long time but still couldn't find a way to avoid those people's eyes.
"Hehe, no wonder you helped me this time without asking for anything in return." Gu Anrou said with an angry laugh. She put one hand on her hip and covered her forehead with the other, looking speechless.
No wonder this man was so kind as to let her join in the search for a tomb that could shock the world. It turned out that he couldn't get in without her.
"So what's your opinion, Miss Gu?" Even though being sneered at by Gu Anrou, the man didn't get angry. He just stared directly at her, creating a sense of oppression.
Gu Anrou hated being threatened the most. Moreover, that piece of land belonged to Lu Chuanbai, and there were so many guards. The chance of being discovered was extremely high.
These days, her image in Lu Chuanbai's heart had dropped to a negative score. If she was discovered, she would never have a chance again in this lifetime.
"I'm just here to buy something. I won't join the tomb - robbing."
The man seemed to have expected Gu Anrou's refusal. In a leisurely tone, he continued to raise the offer. "If you can take my men in and find the entrance to the tomb, you can choose the funerary objects inside first."
"Miss Gu, you should think it over clearly. Is your Gu family more important or Lu Chuanbai?"
"Even if Lu Chuanbai changes his mind in the future, do you think the Lu family will allow him to marry a daughter from a declining family?"
His words hit Gu Anrou right in the heart. She clenched her fists, and her inner thoughts began to waver.
Now Lu Chuanbai was always around Xu Qingqing. It was Lu Chuanbai who had betrayed her first. Even if she took the funerary objects from the tomb, it wouldn't do any harm to Lu Chuanbai.
Finally, the Gu family prevailed. Biting her lip, Gu Anrou agreed. "I'll agree to you, but we mustn't be discovered."
"Of course." The man seemed to have long expected that Gu Anrou would agree. He took out a business card from his breast pocket.
"This is my business card. Since we're going to cooperate, it's necessary to get to know each other."
Gu Anrou took the business card. It read "Bailian Group" and "Li Zhengyi".
"What's the Bailian Group?" Gu Anrou turned the business card over. There was nothing else on it except these two lines and a phone number.
Li Zhengyi explained, "The Bailian Group is the name of our company."
"You tomb - robbers even have a company?" Gu Anrou silently murmured. "I want to add one more person to join our operation. Is that okay?"
Since they were going to do this, they had to be prepared to be discovered. They needed a scapegoat.
"Who do you want to find?" Li Zhengyi asked.
"The most suitable candidate, Lu Fenglin, Lu Chuanbai's younger brother!" Gu Anrou said with a cold sneer, her face stern.
Everyone knew that on the surface, Lu Fenglin and his elder brother in the Lu family were on good terms, but actually they were at odds.
Even if they were really discovered, as long as they made someone confess Lu Fenglin.
"Lu Fenglin of the Lu family hates his elder brother very much. He once fought with his elder brother for a long time over this piece of land." A vicious light flashed in Gu Anrou's eyes.
"He'll definitely agree if he can plot against his elder brother!"
"I don't care who you add." The man sat back on the chair and looked at his phone.
Gu Anrou was more afraid of being discovered than he was, so she would never be stupid enough to find an unfaithful person.
"Then I'll go and contact him." Gu Anrou left through the secret door again. When she got back to the reception room, she heard the female shop assistant trying to attract customers outside.
"Come in and take a look. Our restoration skills are absolutely top - notch. We're the best restoration shop on this street!"
As she spoke, she grabbed the customer's arm and wouldn't let him go, pulling him into the shop.
The customer who was forcibly pulled by the female shop assistant was a bit skeptical. "Is your shop really that good? Why haven't I heard of it?"
"I've heard that the shop next door is very famous. Many people recommended it to me."
Hearing the customer's question, Gu Anrou stepped forward voluntarily. "This shop has excellent restoration skills. It's just not good at promoting itself. Unlike the shop next door, it's well - known for its promotion.
"The people who recommended that shop to you must be their hired touts."
"So that's how it is." The customer nodded. He took out a plastic bag with fragments from his bag and handed it to the female shop assistant.
"Please help me restore this. It's a family heirloom. It should be restored so that the cracks are not obvious."
"Okay, leave it to us." The female shop assistant put the plastic bag on the counter. She winked at Gu Anrou and silently mouthed "thank you".
Gu Anrou smiled and shook her head. She was just doing a favor. As for whether they could restore it well, she didn't know.
Gu Anrou casually found a coffee shop and sat down. She asked her good friend for Lu Fenglin's phone number.
Although Lu Fenglin was not as famous as Lu Chuanbai and not as popular among girls, his appearance was on par with Lu Chuanbai's. His style was more decadent and gloomy.
As the saying goes, "Women love bad boys."
There were quite a few girls in the circle who liked this kind of style. Gu Anrou's best friend was one of them.
Although Lu Fenglin's status was not as high as his elder brother's, he was still the second son of the Lu family. His strength should not be underestimated, and he was also the object that many women in the circle wanted to marry.
After getting Lu Fenglin's phone number, Gu Anrou prepared what she was going to say to him. She cleared her throat.
The phone was answered by a woman. "Hello. May I ask what you want to talk to General Manager Lu about? Do you have an appointment in advance?"
Hearing that it was a staff member answering the phone, the gentle voice that Gu Anrou had originally prepared became a bit impatient.
"I don't have an appointment, but I have something to talk to General Manager Lu about. Transfer me to him right away."
"I'm sorry, miss. Without an appointment, you can't talk to our boss on the phone." The staff member refused.
"Right now!" Gu Anrou became even more impatient. "I have something really important to talk to him about. Can you take the responsibility if it's delayed?"
"But without an appointment..."
"Have you ever seen any urgent matters that need an appointment in advance? I'll say it one more time. If you don't hand the phone to him, you'll definitely be fired when General Manager Lu finds out!"
Hearing Gu Anrou's threat, the staff member got flustered and handed the phone to the supervisor.
"Who are you? Please make it clear what you want!"
So troublesome! Gu Anrou snorted. She repeated what she had just said.
"I'm here to talk to your General Manager Lu about a very big business. I'm sure he'll like it!"
