146: Chapter 146 Song Yiqing is the beauty in the honey trap.

Since Chen Aila was out of money,

those Relatives didn't want to linger for even a single second.

They clamored that Chen Aila had lost her mind as they hurried away.

After seeing the Relatives off, Chen Aila intended to comfort her teary-eyed mother.

Unexpectedly, her mother, Fang Yuqin, actually started laughing. "This is fine too. When the wealth is gone, the person is at peace..."

Chen Aila's forehead was covered in black lines; she really didn't know how to complain about her own mother.

Since she had accepted the situation so easily,

Chen Aila didn't bother to try and persuade her further.

She made up an excuse and slipped downstairs in a flash.

Luo Wei naturally hadn't left yet; he was sitting in the car waiting.

As Chen Aila walked down from upstairs, a system notification sounded in Luo Wei's ear.

[Congratulations, you have obtained 1 intelligence point.]

With the intelligence point credited, it meant the problem was solved!

Chen Aila opened the car door and got in.

Excited, she threw herself directly into Luo Wei's arms!

Luo Wei held the short-haired beauty and gave her a fierce kiss.

He asked curiously, "How is your mom doing? She wasn't scared out of her wits, was she?"

"No!" Chen Aila explained gloomily. "Do you know what my mom said? She said 'when the wealth is gone, the person is at peace'!"

"I gave away such a huge sum of money, and she's actually happy, like she's unloaded a burden!"

Hearing this, Luo Wei smiled. "It's a good thing she can be so open-minded."

"The problem is, how will you explain it to her when you buy a house and a car in the future?"

"Hehe..." Chen Aila had already thought about that.

"I'll just say that you bought the house and car for me!"

"If those Relatives hear that I've bought a house and car, they'll definitely pop up again."

"They just witnessed your prowess. I've already decided—when the time comes, I'll push you forward to be my shield!"

Luo Wei was more than happy to be a shield for this short-haired beauty; after all, the two of them were already hooked up together!

"Let's go, let's go, let's go eat!" Chen Aila broke free from Luo Wei's embrace and hurriedly sat properly in the passenger seat.

That guy was so handsy, it was wicked. "By the way, that bank card I gave you just now really contains Chen Yaoting's entire inheritance. You keep it safe for me!"

"Keep it yourself!" Luo Wei handed the bank card back.

"No way!" Chen Aila shook her head quickly.

"There's a full fifty million in that card!"

"That's too much money. If I hold onto it, I won't be able to eat or sleep well. I'll be living in fear all day!"

"Is that so?" Luo Wei asked with a chuckle. "Aren't you afraid I'll run off with the money?"

"I'm not!" Chen Aila shook her head without hesitation!

She wore a bright smile and looked at Luo Wei firmly. "You wouldn't. I trust you!"

Chen Aila didn't even know why she trusted Luo Wei so much.

The reason was simple: it was because of the contract!

Luo Wei had used the Contract Technique on Chen Aila.

They found a random restaurant.

As they ate, they discussed what to do next.

Chen Aila had already resigned; she felt that being a Private Investigator was very interesting.

She had said before that she wanted to follow Luo Wei and be a Private Investigator.

A while ago, Luo Wei had casually claimed he was a Private Investigator.

He hadn't expected Chen Aila to take it seriously, and now she was clamoring to be a detective too!

Luo Wei wouldn't refuse. He nodded in agreement. "Speaking of which, I don't have an office yet."

"How about this? When you have time, go to the city center and rent a high-end office."

"Then get the company and everything registered!"

Facing Luo Wei's arrangements, Chen Aila nodded and agreed without hesitation.

She was very excited, feeling like she was starting a business together with Luo Wei.

"If you want to buy a house, you can go find my friend."

"Oh, and if you're renting an office, you can ask her about that too."

Luo Wei didn't forget to recommend a client to Cheng Yunshu.

After all, if he just gave that girl money, she definitely wouldn't accept it.

But if he recommended a client to her, she would absolutely welcome it with open arms!

Come to think of it, Cheng Yunshu should have mastered the process of renting and selling houses by now.

That girl could totally open her own real estate company instead of working for someone else.

After pushing Cheng Yunshu's WeChat to Chen Aila, Luo Wei sent Cheng Yunshu a message telling her to open her own shop.

To his total surprise, Cheng Yunshu actually said she had been waiting for Luo Wei to invest in her!

"I've wanted to open a shop and go solo for a long time. After all, I've been doing side jobs lately."

"If the store manager finds out, I'm toast!"

Luo Wei directly transferred one million to her. "Gouzi, resign. Your brother is investing in you!"

"Thank you, Boss! May the Boss strike it rich!" Having received Luo Wei's investment transfer, Cheng Yunshu's words were exceptionally sweet!

Having handled that matter in passing, Luo Wei looked at Chen Aila, who had filled her stomach.

He chuckled and showed his fangs. "Did you forget? You said you'd give me an even bigger reward!"

Chen Aila certainly hadn't forgotten; she blushed and pinched Luo Wei's arm.

Then she muttered resentfully, "Let's do the proper business first. I... I won't run away..."

Chen Aila indeed wouldn't run away. She had signed a contract and would never commit an act of betrayal!

Worried that Luo Wei would mess around, Chen Aila quickly got up to make her escape.

"I'm going to rent the office!"

"Go ahead!"

Luo Wei watched Chen Aila leave.

Then he opened the system panel.

There was still one piece of intelligence to handle today.

He wondered how that Ye Qiushui would use a honey trap.

As for honey traps and the like, Luo Wei was full of anticipation.

Just then, the phone on the table rang, showing a call from Zou Guodong.

Zou Guodong was his class monitor in university. He was an honors student who took the national civil service exam right after graduation and successfully secured a position.

Since graduation, Luo Wei and Zou Guodong had almost no contact. He hadn't expected him to call out of the blue.

With a hint of curiosity, Luo Wei answered the phone.

After not being in touch for so long, Zou Guodong didn't even say hello.

Instead, he used the tone of a superior questioning a subordinate to make arrangements for Luo Wei.

"Luo Wei, you're currently in Honghai City, right?"

"That's right," Luo Wei replied.

He wanted to see what Zou Guodong was up to.

"Tonight Song Yiqing is coming to Honghai City. We're hosting a welcome dinner for her at the Dihao Hotel. Remember to come over then."

"Huh?" Luo Wei was even more confused. Song Yiqing had been a prominent figure at school back then; Luo Wei had even less in common with someone like her.

"Forget it!" Luo Wei refused without hesitation. "I'm not close with her, so I won't go!"

"You have to go!" Zou Guodong shouted anxiously.

"Song Yiqing specifically named you to be there!"

"Oh?"

This was too strange.

A thought instantly popped into Luo Wei's mind.

Could Song Yiqing be the 'beauty' arranged by Ye Qiushui?

Guessing this, Luo Wei chuckled and deliberately provoked Zou Guodong.

"Old Class Monitor, stop joking. How could Song Yiqing specifically ask for me?"

"I still have to work. Let's not chat anymore."

Luo Wei hung up the phone.

On the other side of the line, Zou Guodong was so anxious he was about to spit blood.

Song Yiqing had indeed named Luo Wei to attend the gathering, saying that he must be brought over.

Zou Guodong couldn't understand at all why Song Yiqing cared so much about Luo Wei.

But the command given by his goddess had to be fulfilled.

He dialed Luo Wei's number again.

"Luo Wei, you must attend tonight!"

"But I have to work overtime tonight!" Luo Wei lied casually.

"How much is your overtime pay? I'll give it to you!" Zou Guodong was very generous.

"Overtime pay... let me calculate. Oh, right, if I take time off, my perfect attendance bonus for this month will be gone."

Zou Guodong gritted his teeth. "Calculate it all together, I'll compensate you!"

"By the way, taking leave will affect my performance review..."

"I said, however much it is, I'll compensate you!"

"Adding up all the bits and pieces, it's roughly five thousand yuan!"

Luo Wei quoted a random figure. Zou Guodong felt Luo Wei was scamming him.

But to complete the goddess's command, he quickly transferred five thousand yuan to Luo Wei!

"Now that you've taken the money, you must come tonight!"

"No problem!" Luo Wei smiled brightly.

He had already confirmed that Song Yiqing was the beauty in the honey trap...
