Chapter 373 Mutual Sympathy in Sickness
Ring, ring....
Just as Qin Yu was at his wits' end, fretting over a billion yuan, his phone rang once again.
It was still an unfamiliar number.
Shit, what's with all these strange numbers today?
"Hello?"
After grumbling unhappily, Qin Yu answered the call.
"It's me, Pei Luoyan!"
From the other end of the line came Pei Luoyan's voice.
"Uh... How did you get my number? Don't you have my WeChat? Why not contact me through WeChat?"
Qin Yu was startled for a moment and asked, somewhat perplexed.
"I'm being pursued by the Seventh Bureau. I dare not use my old mobile number or WeChat account. Otherwise, they could nab me in minutes!"
Pei Luoyan sounded a bit downcast.
The Seventh Bureau wasn't a person but an agency, and it represented the will of the state. If they wanted to deal with someone, it was far too easy.
"Heh, I almost lost a layer of skin at the Seventh Bureau myself!"
Qin Yu said with a bitter laugh, suddenly feeling a sense of empathy with Pei Luoyan.
"Hmph, the Seventh Bureau is full of guys who treat a feather as a commanding baton!"
After snorting in dissatisfaction, Pei Luoyan got to the point: "Where are you? Have you come up with a formula to help me detoxify and restore my appearance? I'm planning to hide for a while. It'll be troublesome if my poisoning recurs en route!"
"Hmm...."
Qin Yu's eyes spun around as Han Bing had just called him, indicating that she could easily track his whereabouts.
If he met up with Pei Luoyan at the hotel, it could well mean that both of them would get caught.
With this in mind, Qin Yu said reluctantly, "I'll call you back later; it's not convenient right now."
For all he knew, the Seventh Bureau could be listening to his mobile phone.
This kind of technology, both computer geeks Chen Mo and Luo Zheng could master, so it stood to reason that the Seventh Bureau, whose purpose was to oversee Martial Artists, definitely wouldn't lack computer talent.
"Okay!"
Pei Luoyan didn't say much else and hung up the phone.
"Phew...."
Qin Yu exhaled, pocketed his phone, and left the hotel. He drove straight to Four Seas Corporation.
He found Chen Mo in the information department and handed him the phone: "Check this out for me, I suspect I'm being bugged!"
"No problem, Brother Yu!"
Chen Mo picked up Qin Yu's phone, connected it to his laptop, and started tapping on the keyboard.
A couple of minutes later, Chen Mo spread his hands out: "All normal. As long as your phone hasn't been touched by strangers, it can't be bugged. Of course, signal tracking is another matter. If you're worried, I can install some firewalls for you. That way, if anyone tries to invade your phone, it will automatically sound an alarm and block the attack signal."
"Good, then install those firewalls. Also, lend me your phone for a call!"
Qin Yu nodded his head.
The feeling of being constantly traced, as if being stripped naked and tied up for public display without any privacy, really sucked.
"Here you go, Brother Yu!"
Chen Mo tossed his phone to Qin Yu.
"Then you carry on. I'll come back later!"
Qin Yu left the information department, strode through the corridor, and arrived at the stairwell.
There were no cameras here, and the phone was Chen Mo's; the Seventh Bureau, no matter how powerful, should be unable to do anything to him now, right?
Then, he dialed Pei Luoyan's number and called her: "It's Qin Yu."
"You've changed your number too?"
Pei Luoyan sounded surprised.
"Someone else's phone. You called just after Han Bing warned me. I guess as long as there are surveillance systems around, I'm being watched. She's out to catch me in the act!"
Qin Yu said gloomily.
"Sigh, both of us underestimated the Tang Family, huh? They even have a good relationship with the Seventh Bureau!"
Pei Luoyan heaved a sigh.
"What did you think, that a prestigious family in the provincial city could get there by luck? Let's not talk about this now. Where are you?"
Qin Yu felt a bit frustrated every time the Tang Family came to mind, but there was nothing he could do about it. Those were the efforts of several generations, and as someone who had come from a rural village, he obviously wasn't on the same level.
"Already in East Sea!"
Pei Luoyan was very cautious, even in front of Qin Yu she didn't disclose the exact location.
"Here's what we'll do, I'll prepare the medicine during the day, and you come to the urban village at night. There aren't many surveillance cameras here, and with the alleyways crisscrossing like a maze, even if the Seventh Bureau comes after you, they won't be able to catch you!"
Qin Yu thought about it and said.
"Okay, we'll be in touch tonight."
After finishing speaking, Pei Luoyan hung up the phone.
Qin Yu glanced at the time, it was just past nine o'clock, and he planned to check on Yan Mingyu in her office later.
This silly wife of his was definitely trying to raise money behind his back.
He had already promised to take on this matter, so he had to make sure he solved it for her.
Soon, Qin Yu returned to the Information Department.
Chen Mo had already installed several firewalls on his phone.
"Brother Yu, you can try it out now!"
After Chen Mo finished speaking, he began to locate Qin Yu's cellphone signal on his computer.
"Beep beep..."
Immediately, Qin Yu's phone flashed red and emitted a sharp warning tone.
"Hehe, Brother Yu, cool effect, huh?"
Chen Mo smiled proudly.
"Not bad!"
Qin Yu patted Chen Mo on the shoulder.
"Haha, about those two actresses you mentioned..."
Chen Mo rubbed his hands together, his face taking on a lecherous grin as he asked.
"It should be soon, I'll call you when the time comes!"
"Hehe, good... Actresses, tsk tsk..."
"You little..."
Qin Yu shook his head and walked out of the Information Department with his phone in hand.
Then, he took the elevator to Yan Mingyu's office.
After knocking, he entered the office and, as expected, Yan Mingyu was on a phone call. Seeing Qin Yu enter, she covered the phone, gestured for him to be quiet with a "shush," and then continued, "President Chen, your offer is really too low. I've invested 1.5 billion in that project; you're offering just 300 million. Even if I have to take a loss, it can't be by that much, right?"
"Smack..."
"Ah..."
As Yan Mingyu was haggling on the phone, preparing to liquidate some projects to retrieve funds, Qin Yu walked up behind her and slapped her perfectly round and perky bottom, which was accentuated by her pencil skirt.
She shivered involuntarily and let out a soft cry.
Her face burning red, she immediately hung up the call, turned her head, and glared at Qin Yu, "What are you doing?"
After all these years, he was the first man to spank her.
It made her feel both ashamed and oddly affected.
"I've already said that I would figure out the money issue; are you still here squandering assets? We don't do losing deals; otherwise, others will take you for a fool!"
Qin Yu spoke seriously.
Internally, though, he was thinking, no wonder those dull and boring adult films love spanking so much—this feeling is really something.
"There's enough money on the company's books to last us three more days at most. If I don't sell off some projects at a loss, how am I supposed to recapitalize?"
Yan Mingyu retorted irritably.
"Still talking back?"
Qin Yu raised his hand again as if to spank her.
"You...."
Yan Mingyu's face turned an even deeper shade of red, and she pursed her lips, "Can you really get ten billion?"
"Yes!"
Qin Yu said firmly. Your journey continues with My Virtual Library Empire
Though inside, he had no plan whatsoever; however, at times like these, he needed to give Yan Mingyu a reassuring pill.
