Gorgeous CEO Fell in Love with Me

Chapter 1308 - 1307: Betrayal, Undercurrents Surging! (Seventh Update)

After hearing Lin Fan’s words, everyone fell into silence!

Just like Lin Fan said, Nie Lei doesn’t have any evidence right now, and even if he did, it’d be hard to sentence Zhang Wuji to death!

But Zhang Wuji’s move is clearly meant to shove Nie Lei straight into a dead end. If Nie Lei wants to fight back, he can only take Zhang Wuji out in one hit, and never give him a chance to strike back!

"Boss, you tell me what to do. I’ll do whatever you say!" Nie Lei said.

"This is easy. Since Zhang Wuji used this trick to screw you, as long as we give him the same kind of opportunity again, there’s no way he’d let it slip. So, we’ll give Zhang Wuji another chance to ’frame’ you!" Lin Fan said.

"You want me to go whoring again?" Nie Lei yelped.

Lin Fan nodded and said, "That’s right! And not just one more time—you’re going to do it right under Zhang Wuji’s nose!"

Hearing that, Nie Lei’s gaze went straight to Ye Rong beside him. This time, Nie Lei had really been tortured miserably by Ye Rong, leaving a pretty big shadow in his heart!

"Wife... about this..." Nie Lei pleaded to Ye Rong.

"I’ll listen to Lin," Ye Rong thought for a moment, then nodded her agreement.

"Aiya! Ye Rong, you really are righteous to the core. Thanks, wife!" Nie Lei grinned, laughing wide.

Unfortunately, right after that, Ye Rong shot Nie Lei a glare and said coldly, "Playing along for show is fine. If you dare go in for the real thing, you’d better think carefully about the consequences yourself!"

"Huh?"

Nie Lei froze for a second, then instantly deflated.

Seeing this, Lin Fan couldn’t help but laugh to himself!

Still, Lin Fan genuinely approved of Nie Lei finding a wife like Ye Rong. After all, they’ve all been roaming the Dark Realm for so long their tempers are wild. Having a wife like this to rein him in and grind down that feral nature is actually a good thing!

Lin Fan said, "Since it’s decided, Leizi, call Zhang Wuji. Use some business matter as the excuse and ask him out to talk. As for the rest, how to play it—you’re pretty good at that."

"Relax, Boss. I’ll make that punk understand what happens when he pisses me off!" Nie Lei said through gritted teeth, clenching his fists.

Getting the crap beaten out of him by his own wife—there’s no way Nie Lei could swallow that anger so easily, so he piled all that hatred onto Zhang Wuji!

Right away, Nie Lei pulled out his phone and dialed Zhang Wuji.

"Beep beep beep~"

Three rings sounded, then the call was picked up, Zhang Wuji’s puzzled voice coming through: "Mr. Lei?"

"Zhang Wuji, where are you?" Nie Lei asked in a domineering tone.

"I’m at the office. Does Mr. Lei need something from me?" Zhang Wuji asked.

"Perfect. I’ve got something on the business side I want to discuss with you. Eight tonight, I’ll be waiting for you at the ’Yaorao’ bar. Don’t stand me up."

With that, Nie Lei simply hung up.

...

Meanwhile, at the Zhang Family!

In the living room, Zhang Zhengzhong and Zhang Wuji were sitting opposite each other, and to the side were another elder of the Hall of Justice, Liu Jiheng, plus two high-authority Hall Masters of the Hall of Justice!

There was no one else in the living room, not even the servants—they’d all been sent away. The three had gathered in secret, clearly plotting something big!

Seeing Zhang Wuji end the call with a strange look on his face, Zhang Zhengzhong asked, "Wuji, who was it?"

"Nie Lei," Zhang Wuji said.

"Nie Lei?"

At that, both Zhang Zhengzhong and Liu Jiheng’s expressions changed, their faces full of doubt!

The bad blood between Nie Lei and Zhang Wuji isn’t exactly a secret in the Hall of Justice. But now Nie Lei is calling? That’s enough to make them all suspicious!

"And what did he call about?" Zhang Zhengzhong asked.

"He said he has some business matter he wants my advice on, and told me to go to the ’Yaorao’ bar at eight tonight," Zhang Wuji answered.

Zhang Zhengzhong frowned, thinking for a moment, then said, "When you mailed out those photos before, did you leave any trace of yourself?"

"Relax, Dad. I had the courier come over to pick up the package, and the pickup spot was by the highway. No way it could expose me!" Zhang Wuji shook his head.

Unfortunately, what Zhang Wuji didn’t realize is: just asking the courier alone might not reveal anything, but digging directly through the courier company? That’s another story!

Zhang Zhengzhong nodded and said, "Since that’s the case, you absolutely have to go tonight. If you don’t, it’ll only make people suspect us more."

"Don’t worry, Dad. I’ll go see what kind of tricks Nie Lei is trying to pull tonight first!"

Zhang Wuji let out a cold laugh, arrogance written all over his face. In his heart, he looked down on Nie Lei completely, treating him like nothing more than a useless rich second generation who only knows how to loaf around!

Zhang Zhengzhong nodded, then looked at Liu Jiheng and the other two Hall Masters of the Hall of Justice opposite him, and said, "Gentlemen, what do you think of what I just laid out?"

Liu Jiheng’s expression was troubled as he said, "Elder Zhang, what you’re talking about—betrayal—that’s a huge taboo!"

No doubt, Zhang Zhengzhong had invited these three core figures of the Hall of Justice here hoping to gain their support, then stage a rebellion, launch a desperate counterattack, topple Nie Tianxing, and become the Sect Leader of the Hall of Justice!

The other Hall Master, surnamed Li, said, "Nie Tianxing’s prestige among the brothers is sky-high. If we want to raise troops and revolt, I’m afraid the brothers won’t dare!"

"Why wouldn’t they dare? Our Hall of Justice has stood in Hong Kong for a hundred years, with over a thousand brothers under us. Everyone takes pride in the Hall of Justice. But now, that old bastard Nie Tianxing actually wants to wash clean, give up all the underground power! Gentlemen, haven’t you figured out his little scheme yet?"

Zhang Zhengzhong said angrily, "Once he washes clean successfully, he can cut ties with us, kick us aside, and become a proper legal businessman controlling billions in assets. And us? We get nothing!"

"Take now for example: Elder Liu and I only hold ten percent of the group’s shares each, and you two Hall Masters have three percent each. My son Wuji has been working his ass off for the group, but that old fox Nie Tianxing only wants to promote Wuji to vice president. As for the president’s position, that’s obviously being saved for his useless son!"

"If this goes on, everything the Hall of Justice fought to build will slowly become the Nie Family’s property, and will have nothing to do with us anymore!"

Once Zhang Zhengzhong finished, everyone fell silent!

It has to be said, what the Nie Family is doing now really rubs everyone the wrong way!

Seeing them hesitate, Zhang Zhengzhong hurried to keep persuading them, "My plan is to rise up against Nie Tianxing, topple his tyrant rule, restore the Hall of Justice’s former glory. We’ll all share the benefits together, everyone equal. I believe all the brothers will support us. Now, I’d like to hear your thoughts."

"I agree with Elder Zhang’s plan! What Nie Tianxing is doing now is getting more and more tyrannical—straight-up dictatorship! All the benefits go to the Nie Family, and have nothing to do with us. I’m not accepting that!"

The Hall Master surnamed Li spoke up first, shouting angrily!
