Chapter 635: 351 Lure the enemy deep~_2

Shen Zhiqiao tidied up the materials, her refusal sounding natural, “Oh, no need, the driver is already waiting at the door.”

Luo Yisan: “Okay.”

Shen Zhiqiao followed him out of the cafe. Their cars were parked in front of the entrance, and the driver walked around to the back to open the door for her: “Miss.”

Just before getting into the car, Shen Zhiqiao suddenly stopped Luo Yisan: “Professor Luo, why do I feel that every time we meet, you seem very… tense? Am I difficult to get along with?”

“No,” Luo Yisan shook his head, “it’s not about you.”

“Oh,” Shen Zhiqiao shrugged, “okay then.”

She had noticed this issue long ago; initially, she thought it was because of the pressure of surgery, but as they interacted more, Luo Yisan appeared perfectly comfortable in the operating room, clearly not someone consumed with that kind of stress.

So… what exactly was he worried about?

Luo Yisan bent down to get into the passenger side, tilting his head back and closing his eyes.

He was worried about his secrets being exposed, worried that one day Shen Zhiqiao would discover his past.

He couldn’t be as forthright as others; his unknown past was not as simple as Jiang Xuan’s rebellious phase of tattoos and dyed hair.

And his infatuation with Miss Shen was not at all as simple as Shen Zhiqiao’s current interest in him.

In the years when he had abandoned his moral compass, Shen Zhiqiao had been the only moon in his heart.

Right now, Shen Zhiqiao might just be non-resistant, somewhat interested, or lightly fond of him.

But today was the second day they had agreed to meet at the cafe, and he had already begun fantasizing about possibly inviting her to dinner next time, and then moving forward from there to start dating.

He closed his eyes trying to temporarily forget the past, but before the imagined scenes could fully unfold, a text message from Shen Zhixi shattered all his fantasies.

“Besides Team Fu, other powers are investigating your background, be careful.”

Shen Zhixi sending this message was not merely a warning; he was vexed at the moment and knew that the reborn Luo Yisan would be even more agitated upon seeing this message.

Making others suffer eased his own pain.

He had just finished recording a program and had congratulated Xia Ye for winning the championship.

He humbled himself to become a tester for their team and defended her when others questioned her.

He thought at least he would get a smile in return, but things did not go as hoped.

Xia Ye was not persuaded.

She said, “We could have anyone else as a tester; whether or not it’s you won’t change the outcome.”

With one sentence, she negated all his efforts.

She had never spoken to him in such a tone before.

At that moment, Shen Zhixi felt an urge to abandon these human games and simply imprison her as he had done in the past.

But he ultimately decided to endure and blamed everything on Jiang Xuan.

If there were no Jiang Xuan, no Heavenly Dao, everything would be different.

Sitting back in the car, Shen Zhixi pulled out his phone.

After mentally tormenting Luo Yisan, he dialed Dai Aiyuan.

Dai Aiyuan answered the call after a few seconds with a ‘hello,’ obviously finding a convenient place to talk.

She knew the purpose of Shen Zhixi’s call and immediately reported, “Mr. Shen, I have been doing as you instructed, making the business data for the O Alliance very enticing. Any normal owner seeing this trend would throw everything they have at the O Alliance, but Jiang Corp hasn’t taken any further action… I can’t make it too obvious, otherwise if it’s discovered… ”

“Understood,” Shen Zhixi rubbed his brow and coldly ended the call.

He aimed to make Jiang Xuan stake everything on entering the O Alliance, with all glories eagerly awaiting Jiang Corp’s new era after joining O Alliance, and then at the last moment, he would ruthlessly lock Jiang Corp out.

The bigger the company, the greater the risk if the capital chain breaks.

When the news storms in, Jiang Corp’s stocks would plummet overnight, collapsing the myth of their business empire.

He wanted to render Jiang Corp worthless and sweep their CEO’s reputation to the ground.

But what Dai Aiyuan had said was sensible; Jiang Xuan was not an ordinary boss, being Heavenly Dao, he of course wouldn’t rush into things like any ordinary boss at the sight of a small advantage.

Shen Zhixi knew he needed a new ally.

The car hadn’t started yet when a loud bang nearby drew Shen Zhixi’s attention.

Jiang Feng had kicked over a garbage can in the TV station’s backyard, unleashing the anger he had been holding all night.

At this moment, the staff was busy inside the studio, and there weren’t many people around in the backyard.

However, he overlooked the fact that his rival was sitting right in the car parked beside him.
