I Was Stuck on the Same Day For a Thousand Years - Chapter 215
Chapter 215: It’s my brother-in-law, please be polite.
Gu Ruibo’s voice startled Mao Rusong, since his reaction was a bit too big.
He could feel that Gu Ruibo was a little confused.
Of course Gu Ruibo was confused, because it was Mao Rusong’s cronies who called him, telling him that something had happened and that there was a killer who was so awesome…
but he didn’t expect what Mao Rusong said.
It’s Wu Chen?!
“Brother Xiaogu, Wu Chen… who the hell is he? I remember you mentioned him to me once,” Mao Rusong asked, but at the same time his eyes were on Wu Chen.
He asked who Wu Chen was in Wu Chen’s presence. It was certainly weird.
However, Wu Chen didn’t show any concern and was very calm.
He knew who Xiao Gu was.
Although he wasn’t sure if Gu Ruibo knew about him at this point in time, after all, it wasn’t July 7th. Time was advancing, and everything was changing, but Wu Chen could infer that there was a high probability that Gu Ruibo had heard of him.
The first was the circle problem. Mao Rusong was a billionaire in Shanghai, and he was an all-round character.
However, he had no family background. He had his own business and circle, and Ding Ruilong was just his contact.
Apart from taking the initiative to help Ding Ruilong take care of He Shiqin and He Xinxin, there was no other special contact between them.
Of course, Mao Rusong didn’t know about the bet between Li Ruobing and Ding Ruilong.
If it didn’t matter, he didn’t pay attention.
It had been four years since the marriage failed… So what happened in Donghai recently – Li Ruobing found a boyfriend again – would not directly reach Mao Rusong’s ears.
But Gu Ruibo was different.
Like Li Ruotai, he was a child of a big family and was in the same circle. People he came in contact with would inevitably talk about various family affairs.
More importantly… Gu Ruibo and Li Ruotai had a very good personal relationship!
Every time Li Ruotai came to Shanghai, he would get together with Gu Ruibo. Li Ruotai had a good relationship with many aristocratic families in Shanghai, and the best one was Gu Ruibo.
Because Li Ruotai didn’t like to see Ding Ruilong very much, Li Ruotai and Gu Ruibo were close.
As far as Wu Chen knew, even after Li Ruobing refused to marry, Li Ruotai complained to Gu Ruibo about some family matters in private. Of course, he would not tell about the bet, but he mentioned that he wanted to help his sister, but there was nothing he could do. His father and the old man were very stubborn, and they wanted to continue to force his sister…
But Gu Ruibo, as an outsider, couldn’t say anything, so he could only pat Li Ruotai on the shoulder to express his comfort.
Therefore, Wu Chen believed that Gu Ruibo probably knew about him.
“You.. wait. I’ll verify… I’m not sure… Stabilize the situation first. I’ll bring someone there right away!” Gu Ruibo didn’t say anything directly to Mao Rusong and hung up the phone after speaking.
Listening to the busy tone, Mao Rusong was slightly taken aback.
Why do you need to verify it?
“Gu Ruibo is coming over?” Wu Chen asked Mao Rusong directly with a smile.
“…Yes.” Mao Rusong paused before nodding and asked again, “That… Mr. Wu, do you know Brother Xiaogu?” After asking, he felt strange. Why such a detour?
“I don’t know him.” Wu Chen smiled, “But I know him, and he knows me.”
“Then…” Mao Rusong wanted to ask something else.
“Let’s talk about He Shiqin,” Wu Chen interrupted and brought the topic back.
Wu Chen briefly asked about He Shiqin’s recent situation. In fact, the main question was about the situation in the past few days after July 7th. Wu Chen knew about it before, but in theory, nothing special would happen in these few days. It was just a random question.
While Wu Chen was questioning, Mao Rusong repeatedly asked and tested Wu Chen.
He tried to think what exactly Wu Chen was going to do.
Regarding the fact that He Shiqin was a witness to Dong Yuantao’s death, Wu Chen would definitely not tell Mao Rusong.
Wu Chen just explained it to him to pretend not to know.
It was very simple! He just had to pretend not to know anything about He Shiqin in the next few days.
Because Mao Rusong took the initiative to help take care of her, he didn’t promise anything to Ding Ruilong, and Ding Ruilong didn’t ask him to do anything, anything that would happen to He Shiqin had nothing to do with Mao Rusong.
So pretending not to see was not a problem for Mao Rusong. If He Shiqin disappeared suddenly, then Ding Ruilong would definitely not blame anyone.
Of course, the key point was, why should Mao Rusong listen to Wu Chen?
Because Wu Chen held his handle!
This was a clue that could bring great trouble to Mao Rusong and might even cause Ding Ruilong to take extreme revenge on him. However, Wu Chen held onto this handle, but he didn’t threaten him and didn’t hurt him.
He just asked him to do something that wouldn’t harm him, as long as he didn’t do anything.
He was very close to Gu Ruibo, and Gu Ruibo and Ding Ruilong were business rivals.
So… From a psychological point of view, Mao Rusong was more willing to agree to this matter.
He was a person who didn’t like trouble. As long as he pretended to be blind, he could avoid participating in the conflicts of the big families, so he was very willing!
Seven or eight minutes later…
Wu Chen and Mao Rusong had almost agreed.
Dingling…
Wu Chen’s phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Li Ruobing.
He picked up.
“Are you in Shanghai?” Li Ruobing asked directly.
“Yeah, A’tai called you?” Wu Chen said with a smile.
“Yes.” Li Ruobing agreed and asked again, “Why are you in Shanghai?”
Just now, Li Ruobing received a call from her younger brother Li Ruotai, who also asked her directly if her brother-in-law went to Shanghai. He said he heard it from someone. Li Ruobing was not sure, so she only said that Wu Chen went out.
“Shanghai… I had to do something.” Wu Chen smiled, “Why didn’t A’tai call me directly and ask you instead?”
“What are you talking about?” Li Ruobing got angry. “Would you tell him? You didn’t tell him anything you talked to my dad with, and he didn’t know if you were still angry with him… Okay, I’m hanging up. I’m busy. I’m having dinner with Qingying. A’tai will call you, talk to each other…”
Li Ruobing hung up after finishing speaking.
Just a few seconds after Li Ruobing hung up the phone, Wu Chen’s cell phone rang again.
It was Li Ruotai.
“Hey, A’tao.” Wu Chen picked up.
“Brother-in-law, I heard from my friend that you are in Shanghai?” Li Ruotai asked, with a hint of caution in his tone.
“Yes, Gu Ruibo called you?”
“Yeah, it’s brother Xiaogu. Brother-in-law… that… brother-in-law Xiaogu is my brother… Brother-in-law, please don’t… If there is anything wrong with him, brother-in-law, please be merciful… I… He…” Li Ruotai started to speak nicely to Gu Ruibo as he spoke.
The longer he knew Wu Chen, the more he understood how terrifying Wu Chen was.
His father’s attitude towards Wu Chen seriously affected him… Li Ruotai had a conversation with his father this morning and they talked a lot.
“You misunderstood. It’s not what you thought.” Wu Chen smiled, “I just came to talk about things.”
“He just called me and asked if it was my brother-in-law. He said that a man named Wu Chen wanted to…” Li Ruotai stopped. He didn’t quite understand, because Gu Ruibo didn’t explain it to him.
He just expressed… what kind of assassin, what kind of threat.
“I told you it was a misunderstanding.” Wu Chen smiled.
At this time…
Bang!
The office door opened.
Two bodyguards in black entered the door first, followed by a group of bodyguards.
They surrounded a thin man in his early thirties, wearing a neat dark purple suit, with a scruffy back.
It was Gu Ruibo.
Sitting on the chair, Wu Chen turned his head and took a look, then said to the phone, “He’s here, let’s talk about it when it’s done. It’s okay…” Wu Chen hung up after saying that.
A group of bodyguards were on alert.
Gu Ruibo was very calm.
He saw the young Wu Chen sitting on the chair, paused, and said, “Wu Chen, you are Donghai…”
Before he could ask.
Dingling…
It was Gu Ruibo’s phone that rang.
He was holding the mobile phone in his hand, waiting for Li Ruotai to call back, and now it rang.
It really was Li Ruotai.
“A’tai…” Gu Ruibo picked up, then turned around and walked a few steps towards the door.
“Yes, it’s my brother-in-law… be polite…” Li Ruotai said directly.
