113: Chapter 113 The Plan to Teach Qin Yi a Lesson

Sensing the impatience in Brother Dao's voice, Wang Hao immediately responded with a fawning smile, "Hehe, Brother Dao, it's like this. Didn't you ask me to set up that kid surnamed Qin? Things are finally moving. He returned to Magic City today, and his ex-girlfriend has already gotten in touch with him. When do you think would be a good time for me to lure him out?" As he spoke, a hint of nervousness flashed in Wang Hao's eyes. Though they were on the phone, he unconsciously gripped the hem of his clothes with both hands, terrified that saying the wrong thing might displease Brother Dao.

Hearing this, the corners of Brother Dao's mouth curled up, and a trace of mockery flashed in his eyes as he responded with a cold laugh, "Not bad, kid. You're actually handing your own girlfriend over to someone else."

"Hehe," Wang Hao felt a bit uncomfortable hearing Brother Dao say that, but due to his lack of strength compared to Brother Dao, he could only suppress his displeasure and continue, "Brother Dao, you must be joking. That Qin Yi injured your subordinates, and Brother Qiang and the others have to be locked up for another fifteen days. I truly feel bad about it. As the saying goes, brothers are like hands and feet, while women are like clothes. I know which one is more important." As he spoke, a forced smile appeared on Wang Hao's face, though his eyes were full of helplessness.

"Haha, alright! You're a good kid! It wasn't in vain that I treated you like a brother." As he spoke, a flash of disdain crossed Brother Dao's eyes, but his face wore a satisfied smile.

"Hehe, you flatter me, Brother Dao," Wang Hao replied with a fawning smile over the phone, his voice filled with anticipation, as if he couldn't wait to teach Qin Yi a lesson. "So, Brother Dao, when should I lure that Qin kid out?"

"Just wait for my call!" After saying that, Brother Dao hung up, a cold sneer on his lips.

Afterward, Brother Dao dialed another number. After a few rings, the call was answered.

A hint of craftiness flashed in his eyes, but his tone was filled with politeness and respect. With a fawning expression, he leaned forward slightly and asked with a sycophantic smile, "Hehe, hello, Brother Mo. May I ask if you've arrived in Magic City?"

"Mhm." On the other end of the line, the man known as Brother Mo gave a cold, single-word reply, devoid of any emotion. This immediately made Brother Dao feel as though he were sucking up to a brick wall, and he couldn't help but feel a bit irritated.

"Hehe," Brother Dao gave a dry laugh, trying his best to hide his dissatisfaction as a look of anticipation flashed in his eyes. "It's like this. I mentioned that kid named Qin Yi to you before; he's back in Magic City now. Brother Mo, when would be convenient for you to help me take care of him?"

"Time and place." This Brother Mo was still a man of few words, his tone so cold it was hard to approach.

"How about tonight? At the Nightlife Bar. It's our own place, so it'll be easy to handle things." Brother Dao responded quickly, a ruthless look flashing in his eyes. He thought to himself, 'If the boss comes tonight, I can put on a show for him. I'll let the boss know that I have capable people under me too!' A smug smile played on his lips.

What Brother Dao didn't know, however, was that this Brother Mo he had contacted was also one of Boss Zhao Lintai's men. He was the man in black who had arrived in Magic City on the same flight as Zhao Lintai to deal with Chen Hu.

"Fine." Brother Mo gave a simple two-word response and hung up.

This left Brother Dao somewhat stunned. He spat on the ground, a look of disdain appearing on his face as he cursed to himself, "Bah, acting all high and mighty. Let's see if you can even beat that kid tonight!" As he spoke, a flash of anger crossed his eyes, clearly infuriated by Brother Mo's posturing.

Cursing aside, Brother Dao quickly called Wang Hao back and said in a heavy voice, "Tonight at the Nightlife Bar. Lure Qin Yi there."

"Hehe, okay, Brother Dao." Wang Hao responded immediately, his voice carrying a hint of urgency and excitement, as if his revenge was about to be served.

"By the way, that department beauty you mentioned earlier—bring her along tonight!" Brother Dao added, a playful glint in his eyes. He thought to himself that he didn't know what the girl looked like, but if she was as top-tier as Wang Hao claimed, he might as well offer her to the boss as a little bonus. At the thought of this, a meaningful smile curled on his lips.

"No problem, don't worry, Brother Dao." Wang Hao agreed immediately, but he muttered inwardly: 'Damn it, is that bastard Brother Dao going to cuckold me tonight...'

At this thought, a flash of anger and helplessness crossed his eyes, but he quickly masked it. He didn't dare let Brother Dao sense his dissatisfaction.

"That's all for now. See you tonight at the Nightlife Bar." After Brother Dao finished speaking, he hung up, a cold smile playing on his lips as if he were looking forward to the show tonight.

Wang Hao silently put down the phone, a ruthless look flashing in his eyes as he murmured to himself, "Qin Yi, you forced my hand. If you want to blame someone, you can only blame yourself!"

...

Not long after, Su Mo received a call from Wang Hao.

As soon as the call connected, Su Mo said cautiously, "Hello, Brother Hao." Her voice trembled slightly, revealing a hint of unease.

"You little bitch, how did the chat with that bastard Qin Yi go? He didn't suspect you, did he?" Wang Hao asked mockingly over the phone. His tone was full of disdain and contempt, a cold sneer on his face.

"No, he didn't suspect me..." Hearing Wang Hao call her a "little bitch" again, Su Mo's fingers nearly dug into her palms. She suppressed her displeasure and responded in a low voice with a slight tremor.

Because they were on the phone, Wang Hao couldn't tell if Su Mo was trembling from fear or anger. He simply assumed she was terrified of being bullied by him and continued with a laugh, "Good, it's fine as long as he doesn't suspect anything. Brother Dao has sent word. Ask him to meet at the Nightlife Bar tonight. I'll send you the address on WeChat in a bit."

"Uh, Brother Hao, are we going to make a move on Qin Yi tonight?" Su Mo couldn't help but press for more information. Her heart began to race at this moment, and her voice sounded somewhat excited.

"What? Can't bear to let him go?" Wang Hao gave a cold laugh and continued in a chilling voice, "You little bitch, you haven't gone and developed feelings for that Qin kid again, have you?" As he spoke, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, as if he wanted to pierce through the phone and see right into Su Mo's heart.

"No, no, how could I..." Su Mo quickly denied it, her voice revealing a hint of urgency and panic. Fine beads of sweat broke out on her forehead from excitement, and her fingers unconsciously clawed at the edge of her phone as she added, "Then what time should I ask him to meet?"

"Never mind the time. Just lure him to the Nightlife Bar tonight!" Wang Hao added viciously, "As long as he goes there, don't expect him to leave in one piece!"

"Okay, Brother Hao. I'll go tell Qin Yi right away," Su Mo responded in a low voice.

"Right, and remember to dress up nicely tonight! Once that Qin kid's matter is settled, I'll introduce you to a big brother." Wang Hao added another instruction, his face wearing a playful and malicious smile.

Su Mo naturally understood what Wang Hao meant by "introducing her to a big brother." Her face instantly turned pale, and her eyes flickered with fear and resistance.

Brother Dao was different from Wang Hao. Wang Hao was just a rich second-generation kid with a twisted psyche, but Brother Dao was a real gangster. If she ended up in Brother Dao's hands, her fate would likely be even more miserable than it was with Wang Hao.

She hesitated for a moment before finally gathering the courage to plead, "Uh... Brother Hao, you know me... I don't do that kind of thing..."

"Bah!" Wang Hao cursed and threatened Su Mo with the photos and videos again. "Su Mo, you bitch, stop acting like some virtuous woman with me! I'm warning you, don't forget that those photos and videos of yours are still in my hands. If you dare to be disobedient, you know what the consequences will be!"

"I... I understand," Su Mo responded in a low voice, tears nearly welling up in her eyes. She knew she had no choice left but to pretend to follow Wang Hao's instructions for now.

At this moment, her heart was filled with despair and helplessness, as if an invisible hand were choking her. Her only hope was that Wang Hao would be brought to justice tonight. Only then could she escape his control and start a new life.

"Alright," Wang Hao sneered, continuing his mockery. "It's not like you're a virgin. It's just a matter of experiencing a few more men. What's there to be so uptight about? Think about it—if you can make the big brother happy, maybe I'll even have to call you 'Sister-in-law' in the future!"

"No, I wouldn't dare," Su Mo responded in a low voice, her tears finally sliding down at this moment.

"I'll be at the Nightlife Bar tonight too! That's all for now!" After saying that, Wang Hao hung up without hesitation, a smug smile on his face. He had already tossed aside the displeasure of being cuckolded by Brother Dao tonight, treating Su Mo like an insignificant pawn to be discarded after use.

...

Su Mo stared at the disconnected call screen on her phone, a hint of helplessness and despair flashing in her eyes. She took a deep breath and let out a long sigh, trying to calm her inner turmoil. As the rise and fall of her chest gradually slowed, she closed her eyes, letting herself sink into a brief moment of tranquility.

After calming down a bit, her fingers trembled slightly as she composed a message to Shen Jianan's "fake Qin Yi" WeChat account: "Qin Yi, I want to see you tonight. Nightlife Bar, be there or be square."

Immediately after, Su Mo couldn't wait for Shen Jianan to reply and called her instead. The moment the call connected, her heart raced as if it were about to jump out of her chest.

"Hello, Su Mo. I saw the message you sent me. Are you sure Wang Hao is planning to make a move at the Nightlife Bar tonight?" As soon as Shen Jianan received the WeChat message from Su Mo, she stepped out of the Public Security Brigade office with her phone and asked urgently in a low voice.

"Yes, most likely. Wang Hao just called, and I recorded it. I'll send it to you in a bit. But Officer Shen, Wang Hao isn't just planning to teach Qin Yi a lesson tonight; he's also planning to offer me to someone called Brother Dao. What... what should I do?" Su Mo's voice was tearful, clearly terrified by Wang Hao's threat. Her fingers tightly rubbed the hem of her clothes, and tears welled in her eyes, ready to fall at any moment.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine. I'll be at the Nightlife Bar tonight as well. I want to see just how bold Wang Hao really is." Shen Jianan's voice was like a ray of warm sunshine piercing through the gloom in Su Mo's heart, giving her some strength.

"And what about Qin Yi?" Su Mo's voice still carried a hint of worry. "If he doesn't go tonight, I'll really have no way out..."

"Don't worry, I'll contact him in a moment. Also, contact me before you get to the Nightlife Bar. I'll give you a hidden recording device. Make sure to wear it and preserve the evidence of the scene."

"Oh, okay." Su Mo's voice was still trembling slightly, but she was doing her best to stay calm.

After hanging up, she quickly sent the recording of her call with Wang Hao to Shen Jianan. Once she confirmed Shen Jianan had received it, she deleted the chat history from WeChat.

After listening to the recording Su Mo sent, Shen Jianan's brow furrowed, and her disgust for Wang Hao reached its peak. Her hands clenched into fists as she cursed inwardly: 'That bastard Wang Hao, he can actually be this despicable and vile!'

She took a long breath to calm her emotions, which had become agitated due to anger. Then, she shared the recording, the location of Su Mo and Qin Yi's meeting tonight, and the location of the Nightlife Bar to Qin Yi's WeChat.

...

By this time, Qin Yi was no longer at that Starbucks. He had gone to a men's clothing store on the second floor of the mall and changed into a pair of black trousers and a white shirt in the fitting room—a typical office worker's outfit.

After paying, Qin Yi went into the mall's restroom. However, when he came back out, his appearance had changed. He looked exactly like Secretary Wu, who worked for Wang Hongtai, and even his clothes were identical to what Secretary Wang was wearing today.

It turned out that when Qin Yi saw Wang Hongtai and that Secretary Wu leave Hongtai Construction together, he immediately felt it was the perfect opportunity to enter Hongtai Construction and obtain that 'Acquisition Letter of Intent.'

When Xing Zhenkun's favorability quest was completed previously, he had obtained a bionic disguise mask from the lucky draw, and it could finally be put to use.

Just then, Shen Jianan's phone call suddenly came through. Qin Yi didn't want to answer at first, but after glancing at the WeChat message she had sent, he hesitated for a moment before picking up.
