Chapter 135: How Did You Know That I Have the Yu Family as My Backer? (2)
Translator: _Min_
“Mr. Liu, Mrs. Chen has sent the person over to you,” said the special assistant respectfully, standing off to the side. “She’s already in your room.”
“The Chen family is only good for tasks like this,” Mr. Liu mused, hands behind his back. “Alright, I’ll go up and have a look.”
The special assistant nodded, pressed his earpiece, and signaled to the surrounding bodyguards to remain on high alert. He also activated the alarm system.
Mr. Liu ascended to the second floor and pushed open the bedroom door.
Yu Tang’s hands were tied behind her back, and a piece of cloth had been stuffed into her mouth.
At the sound of the door opening, her body trembled. She lifted her head sharply to see who had come in.
The sight almost made her retch.
She had been blindfolded and bound all the way here, unsure of what exactly was happening.
But now, seeing a portly middle-aged man appear in this room, even a fool would grasp the grim reality.
Yu Tang clenched her teeth, forcing herself to remain calm.
“Not bad, not bad at all, you are quite beautiful,” Mr. Liu remarked as he walked in and removed the cloth from her mouth. “You’re the one the Zuo family adopted, aren’t you?”
It took only a second for Yu Tang to respond, “Yes, I am. So what?”
She was extremely vigilant.
These people had intended to kidnap Qingqing.
This is very bad news.
“Oh, you have quite the temper,” Mr. Liu clucked. “No wonder someone holds a grudge against you. Do you know who sent you here?”
Sweat trickled from Yu Tang’s palms, yet her voice remained steady. “I’ve offended plenty of people; how would I know who you’re talking about?”
“Plenty, you say?” Mr. Liu looked genuinely surprised. “You haven’t offended anyone other than the Chen family, have you?”
Yu Tang quietly filed away the surname “Chen.”
“Remarkable, you should consider yourself fortunate to have been sent to me,” Mr. Liu circled around her, shaking his head. “I, at least, am quite gentle with women. If it had been some of the others—”
He tutted. “By now, you’d be nothing but skin and bones, already used to feed their pets.”
Cold sweat broke out on Yu Tang’s forehead, yet she still managed to ask calmly, “Aren’t you afraid that you and the Chen family will go down together?”
“Hahahaha!” Mr. Liu burst into laughter. “Who do you think you are? Fine, even if the Zuo family hasn’t cut ties with you, they don’t have the clout to make such threats.”
“This is Lin City; the Chen family has deep roots here. Who can take them down? Do you think you have the backing of the Yu family from the city of Sijiu?”
He liked young women without any powerful backers; it meant he didn’t have to worry about any repercussions.
Yu Tang remained silent.
Mr. Liu frowned, “What’s with that look?”
Yu Tang hesitated slightly before asking, “How do you know I have the support of the Yu family from Sijiu?”
When Mr. Liu heard this, he didn’t want to say much. “I know you young celebrities always try to catch the attention of the young masters of the Yu family, but do they even care for you?”
“Don’t waste your energy. You’re better off serving me well; I can give you access to more resources. Quit daydreaming.”
Once again, a cloth gag was stuffed into Yu Tang’s mouth.
She was infuriated.
“Alright, wait here,” Mr. Liu said as he adjusted his tie. “I have some business to attend to. You’d better behave, don’t even think of escaping.”
Yu Tang’s appearance and figure were very much to his liking.
But now that he’d encountered someone from the Yu family here, he felt less urgency about his romantic pursuits.
Mr. Liu left swiftly.
Yu Tang took a deep breath, her fingers slightly trembling. She chanted silently in her heart.
Qingqing, you have to be okay.
Elsewhere.
Mrs. Chen had booked a luxury spa session and was getting massages alongside Mrs. Liu.
The therapists were applying essential oils to them.
“Mrs. Chen, this place you recommended is really nice,” Mrs, Liu said. “I’ll get a membership card here next time.”
“Oh, you don’t need to,” Mrs. Chen chuckled. “I can gift you one. Their service quality is genuinely top-notch.”
Mrs. Liu half-closed her eyes and nodded nonchalantly.
Mrs. Liu and Mr. Liu were in a business marriage and lived separate lives.
Since Mrs. Chen promised to send her some young hunks from the entertainment industry, Mrs. Liu conveniently turned a blind eye to whatever else might be happening.
She enjoyed dealing with sensible people like Mrs. Chen.
A maid silently entered the room and whispered in Mrs. Chen’s ear, “Madam, as per your instructions, we have sent the person to Mr. Liu.”
“Good, you’re quite efficient,” Mrs. Chen responded. “Do you have a photo to show me? I want to see her miserable state..
