Chapter 1492 1487: Master He the Fifth [First Update]
"Wait a minute... you're driving and I'll follow you in the back?""Yeah." He Yutong replied matter-of-factly.
"Can I ask why?" Su Chen's mouth twitched slightly.
"If you're not in the same vehicle as me, how can I be sure you won't speed?" He Yutong said seriously.
But this... doesn't sound unreasonable?
Three motorcycles, a group of four heading towards their destination.
But this combination felt odd. On the patrol bike, besides He Yutong in uniform, there was an extra male passenger.
Su Chen was also helpless; he initially thought He Yutong just wanted to ride in the same vehicle as him.
But He Yutong wouldn't let Su Chen drive the motorcycle.
Therefore, Su Chen could only sit awkwardly in the back seat, his hands loosely around He Yutong's waist.
Leading the way was Gongzi Ge in leather attire, riding a heavy bike, followed closely by He Yutong and Qi Xiaohu on patrol motorcycles.
The party Gongzi Ge was attending tonight was at a high-end leisure club.
This place had a membership system; without a membership, no matter how much money you had, you couldn't get in.
So, the exclusivity here was quite high.
The three motorcycles drove into the club one after the other. The security wasn't blind or anything.
First of all, Gongzi Ge was a member here, and her vehicle was on record.
The same went for Qi Xiaohu behind her, who also had a membership. But He Yutong's patrol motorcycle puzzled the club's security.
In the club's parking lot, almost all the parked vehicles were million-level luxury cars, with even cars costing one or two million being at the bottom here.
Sports cars, limited editions, custom-made luxury cars were everywhere.
Frankly speaking, this was a place where money was no object.
The appearance of these three motorcycles was undoubtedly eye-catching.
However, the club's security didn't immediately interfere, and just reported the situation in the parking lot up to their superiors.
"Gongzi Ge, long time no see." The club's client manager actively showed up to greet Gongzi Ge.
"Manager Xia, we met just half a month ago, it hasn't been that long." Gongzi Ge joked with her.
"Haha, I just missed you too much. You know what they say, a day apart feels like three autumns, and we haven't seen each other for half a month, that's dozens of autumns!" Manager Xia covered her mouth in a light laugh, but it couldn't hide the overwhelming charm.
Su Chen and Qi Xiaohu's eyes were almost glued.
He Yutong stood next to Su Chen, and for some unknown reason, whether it was anger or something else, she mischievously pinched Su Chen's waist.
Su Chen snapped back to reality due to the pain.
This subtle action was all seen by Xia Ruoyi.
She chatted with Gongzi Ge in an extremely casual yet cordial tone: "Ge'er, aren't you going to introduce these two friends you brought with you? They look unfamiliar to me. They haven't been here before, have they?"
"Hmm, this should be their first time." Gongzi Ge replied lightly, but didn't introduce them much to Xia Ruoyi. Today Su Chen was here by chance, just to help her deal with a banquet, and whether he'd come back here again was uncertain.
As for the other one, Gongzi Ge instinctively ignored He Yutong, just a small-time traffic officer.
"Oh." Working in the service industry, Xia Ruoyi had good judgment. Seeing that Gongzi Ge didn't want to elaborate, she knowingly let the matter drop.
Soon, she feigned surprise and looked at Qi Xiaohu.
"Young Master Qi, what a rare visitor you are. Since you got a membership here, you've hardly visited five times in a year, right?" Xia Ruoyi's charming demeanor made Qi Xiaohu swallow hard.
He chuckled dryly: "I just hadn't noticed Manager Xia was this beautiful before, or else I would have come three times a day."
"Haha, Young Master Qi, you really know how to flatter. Three times a day is too much to hope for, but if you visit three times a month, I'd believe you."
"I'll definitely visit more often, definitely." Qi Xiaohu replied hastily.
"Then I'll hold you to that. If you don't come, I won't spare you."
Xia Ruoyi continued to flirt with Qi Xiaohu, but Gongzi Ge was already getting impatient: "Manager Xia, let's skip the chatter. How many people are in Hall Three?"
Hearing Gongzi Ge's question, Xia Ruoyi's face turned slightly serious.
"Ge'er, take my advice, we can't mess with those people, there's no need to be stubborn with him..."
"Does he get to call the shots? Why should he?!" Gongzi Ge's eyes held a deep sense of defiance.
"Because his fists are bigger than yours, his influence is greater, his seniority is longer, and he's... He Wuye." Xia Ruoyi spoke each word carefully.
She knew her young friend's unwillingness, her ambitions of making a mark.
But compared to someone like He Wuye, she was too green, and she simply couldn't provoke such a person. Though He Wuye's demands were somewhat excessive, they weren't entirely unacceptable.
With someone like He Wuye as a protector, Gongzi Ge's situation would certainly improve compared to before.
In Jiangdu, many people coveted Gongzi Ge, but she knew how to handle people, mingling among different figures with an extensive network.
So, most people didn't dare to mess with her.
But this He Wuye was not ordinary; his influence in the entire Jiangdu was significant, and most importantly, he was a Martial Artist.
He achieved his current success through hard-earned battles.
However, precisely because of his background, He Wuye's reputation in Jiangdu wasn't good.
This was also why, after He Wuye set his sights on Gongzi Ge's business, she felt so resistant to his advances.
He Wuye was probably interested not just in Gongzi Ge's business, but possibly in someone... no, definitely someone.
If He Wuye had a good reputation, Gongzi Ge, in seeking a backing, might even have considered offering a minority share as protection capital.
But knowing what kind of person he was, offering herself up to the lion's den wasn't something she was willing to do!
"He Wuye? Are you talking about He Xiaowei?" Qi Xiaohu interjected from the side.
"Yes." Xia Ruoyi nodded.
"Need help? My dad has some business dealings with him. I could ask my dad to step in..."
"Thanks, but no." Gongzi Ge politely declined.
But Qi Xiaohu felt frustrated, I was just trying to help, but you didn't even let me finish my sentence.
With a gentle smile, Xia Ruoyi comforted Qi Xiaohu: "Young Master Qi, don't mind her. Ge'er is just like that; she doesn't want to trouble others, especially with someone like He Wuye..."
