46: Hand-torn
"Waiter, there's a troublemaker here. Call security quickly and have her dragged out."
Chen Su shouted toward the waiter.
Xu Jing looked at Chen Su, who used to be completely submissive to her, but since she broke up with him, he seemed like a different person.
She shouted hysterically, "Chen Su, how can you treat me like this? What did our five years of feelings mean?"
"It was just my bad luck."
"Pfft—"
Li Chuxia, who was standing nearby, burst out laughing. "It really was bad luck, wasting five years on an ungrateful white-eyed wolf."
The waiter quickly called security, and Xu Jing was "escorted" out.
"Chen Su, I'm really pregnant with your child!"
"Since you're so certain the child is mine, then do you dare to do a paternity test with me? If it is mine, I will take full responsibility."
Xu Jing was a pregnant woman, and Chen Su was afraid that if he argued with her and something happened, she would end up extorting him later.
He had long since seen through Xu Jing... The two sat back down to continue eating their steak.
"Is there a story behind this?"
"Her? At most, she's an accident. A vain woman. Fortunately, I never took her back to my hometown before; otherwise, she might have really tried to stay at my house until she gave birth and refused to leave."
Li Chuxia had known for a long time that Chen Su's ex-girlfriend was Xu Jing, but she hadn't known about Xu Jing's pregnancy.
"The child isn't yours?"
Chen Su shook his head.
Li Chuxia looked at Chen Su in front of her with some heartache.
While dating, his girlfriend cheated on him; after being maliciously fired by his company, his girlfriend unilaterally announced their breakup.
How did all this bad luck happen to him... "Let's leave directly through the underground parking lot. I'm worried Xu Jing is waiting outside. If she comes up to cause trouble again, the onlookers won't care what the truth is; they'll just fan the flames."
Li Chuxia's car stopped at the entrance of the Crystal Lake Mirror community.
Chen Su unbuckled his seatbelt and prepared to get out.
"Aren't you going to invite me up to your house for a cup of tea?" Li Chuxia suddenly asked.
Chen Su was a bit taken aback.
"A lone man and a lone woman... aren't you afraid I might do something to you? You heard it just now, Xu Jing said I'm a scumbag who abandons women."
"I'm not afraid."
...Inside Chen Su's home.
"The night view from your place is really nice, and the renovation is great too."
Li Chuxia praised him after taking a tour.
"If that Xu Jing knew you had such a large apartment and over a million in savings, she'd cling to you even harder."
"Oh, by the way, for the hundred thousand I owe you, you can just deduct it directly from the withdrawal later, plus your commission of 360,000."
Chen Su calculated Li Chuxia's commission based on ninety thousand catties at four yuan per catty.
"I'll hire a few workers tomorrow; we should be able to send it all out within a day."
Li Chuxia nodded.
Although she didn't like Chen Su being so formal with her, things had to be done step by step, gradually.
It lasted until eleven o'clock at night.
Li Chuxia finally left reluctantly... After seeing her off, Chen Su went home and took a shower.
There was a bathtub in the bathroom, but it was too late now, so he didn't choose to take a bath and just did a quick rinse.
Time slowly reached midnight.
Chen Su summoned the Intelligence System.
[Today's intelligence has been refreshed]
[Today's Intelligence 1 (C-rank): Liu Tianchuan hid a piece of calligraphy and painting he bought in his early years in Room 1002, Building 12 of Utopia. The current value of this calligraphy and painting is two million.]
[Today's Intelligence 2 (B-rank): Ah Zheng's Licorice Shop at No. 116 Heping Avenue, Yongxing County, Maple City, is secretly selling poppy shells.]
Since the Intelligence System was upgraded, it would automatically pop up intelligence information when summoned without Chen Su having to click to retrieve it, which was much more convenient.
Seeing that intelligence about Liu Tianchuan had appeared again, Chen Su's eyes lit up.
While making Liu Tianchuan suffer, he could also make money.
It couldn't be more satisfying.
He took out his phone and sent a message to Zhang Lili.
"Sister Zhang, there's a new situation."
Zhang Lili, on the other end of the phone, replied instantly.
"What's the situation?"
"This one is quite big; it can help you recover a lot of losses."
Chen Su deliberated on how much money to ask Zhang Lili for.
"Is one hundred thousand enough?"
"Enough, enough. Sister Zhang is generous (thumbs up)."
His bank card soon received a notification of a 100,000 yuan deposit.
"Liu Tianchuan hid a piece of calligraphy and painting worth two million in Room 1002, Building 12 of Utopia."
"Okay, I got it."
"By the way, the husband of a good friend of mine also cheated. I introduced her to you a while ago; did she look for you?" Zhang Lili added.
"Yes, I'm following up on it. There will be progress soon."
"Good."
After turning off his phone, Chen Su fell asleep.
He would be a bit busy tomorrow; he had to take workers to the Cold Chain Logistics Park to pack the peaches and ship them... At eight o'clock the next day, Chen Su received a transfer from Li Chuxia as soon as he woke up.
After deducting the 100,000 he had borrowed from Li Chuxia before, as well as some miscellaneous platform fees, it was a total of 1.3 million.
Chen Su sent a message to Li Chuxia, "The money can be withdrawn so quickly?"
"I have my own clever ways (smirk)."
...He counted his savings.
With Li Chuxia's 1.3 million, there was now 1,655,000 yuan in his bank card.
"One, two, three, four, five, six, seven."
It was indeed seven digits.
There was also 5,200 yuan lying in his wallet that he had picked up from a trash can a few days ago.
Total savings exceeded 1.66 million.
Chen Su stretched.
Having money in his pocket really made him feel secure.
After a moment of intoxication,
he first transferred 300,000 yuan to Feng Wenjun and another 50,000 to He Youwen.
It was what he had borrowed from them when he bought the house a few days ago... After washing up, he had a simple breakfast.
Chen Su rode his electric scooter toward the Cold Chain Logistics Park.
When he arrived, the few workers he had hired were already standing at the entrance waiting.
The packaging boxes for the peaches were delivered by a truck from the cardboard factory early in the morning... It wasn't until four in the afternoon that the few of them finished packing the ninety thousand catties of peaches.
At five-thirty, the last box of peaches was loaded onto the truck. Chen Su was so tired he could barely straighten his back.
He called a Huolala and hauled the ten boxes of fifty-pound peaches he had reserved for himself back home... After arriving home, he moved the peaches into the house.
Chen Su took a comfortable bath.
After bathing, he didn't even eat dinner and fell asleep on the sofa... Maple City, Yuecheng International Hotel.
Wang Xin, wearing a mask and sunglasses and clad in a yellow delivery uniform, was riding an electric scooter following a Maybach.
The person sitting inside the Maybach was exactly the subject of the photo Chen Su had sent him.
To earn this fifty thousand yuan, he hadn't closed his eyes for two days and two nights.
Fortunately, heaven does not betray those who are diligent.
He finally caught them.
The other twenty-five thousand was about to be in his hands... At ten o'clock at night.
Chen Su was woken up by a phone call.
"Brother Chen, look at the video I sent you."
Chen Su opened his phone.
It was still in a parking lot.
A man and a woman were kissing passionately.
"Not bad, keep investigating."
"Brother Chen, they've already entered the Yuecheng International Hotel in Maple City. The room they opened is Room 6007 on the 6th floor."
Chen Su perked up as soon as he heard this.
"Professional matters really have to be left to professional people."
Before, he had all the advantages of time, place, and people, and in the end, he still had to have He Youwen come over to help before successfully getting it done.
This kid got it all done by himself.
Could it be that he was a secret agent in his past life?
"Don't move for now; wait for my command."
