Chapter 102: Investigate Jin Xiangbei for Me_1

"I want you to leave him and come to me," he whispered into her ear. "Eleven, everything he can give you, I can give too."

She understood Jin Xiangbei’s intentions.

"But as I’ve said before, I don’t want anything from you."

"What if you no longer have a choice?"

Eleven paused for a moment, suddenly feeling a hot gaze on her. Turning her head, she saw Gu Liancheng looking, and quickly looked away.

Knock, Knock, Knock - someone was at the door.

"Come in."

Jin Xiangbei looked and said, "It’s my assistant, Director Zhang."

Assistant Ai En came in with a gift box and handed it to Jin Xiangbei.

The women in the room had a glint in their eyes.

They recognized that gift box!

The latest necklace from Angelina, Love of Angel. The advertising was loud and clear, there were only three pieces in Xicheng and they were worth a fortune.

One was already bought by Director Zhang, a gift for his beloved daughter; she’ll be showing it off tonight.

And the second...

Clearly it was in Jin Xiangbei’s hands!

No way... Did he buy this for...?

Probably only Eleven in the whole room didn’t know what it was and didn’t understand what was going to happen.

As expected, Jin Xiangbei opened the gift box and brought out an incredibly dazzling necklace, "I’m giving this to you."

They originally thought she was just another drinking companion, but this extravagant gift suggested otherwise.

It was indeed a heavy gift!

Eleven did not know its value, but seeing the expressions on everyone’s faces, plus the fact it was given by Jin Xiangbei, suggested that it wasn’t cheap. She wanted to back off subconsciously, but Jin Xiangbei held her and put it on, whispering in her ear, "Behave tonight, and I’ll let you go."

Once he had put it on her, Eleven quickly got up, stumbled, and before anyone could catch her, fell to the ground.

Both Gu Liancheng and Jin Xiangbei were taken aback, wanting to help her, but Eleven didn’t pay them any attention. She got up on her own, bowed to Director Zhang and said, "Excuse me, Director Zhang, I need to go to the restroom."

"Oh... sure, go on."

Only those two knew that she would not be coming back.

Just as Jin Xiangbei was about to rise, he was fetched by Director Zhang, and could only watch as Eleven hurriedly fled.

Gu Liancheng couldn’t leave either, but ordered a girl next to him, who ran out following Eleven.

...

"Hey!" The girl tapped Eleven’s shoulder, "You are so lucky! Those two are nearly fighting over you!"

Eleven recognized her as the girl who had been with Gu Liancheng.

"I’m Song Jiajia, what’s your name?"

"Eleven."

"Eh? Is that your stage name?"

Eleven neither denied nor confirmed, just hurried towards the exit without saying anything.

Song Jiajia shouted from behind, "The restroom is over that—oh...!"

But Eleven didn’t answer her anymore and disappeared around the corner.

Song Jiajia went back to the room and explained to Gu Liancheng.

Using the opportunity, Su Qing entered the room and apologized to Gu Liancheng, "Mr. Gu, we really need to leave now or we will miss our flight."

With her saying so, Director Zhang couldn’t keep him. Gu Liancheng got up and said, "I’m really sorry to spoil your mood, Director Zhang. But I really don’t have the time; I must leave now. I can’t miss tomorrow’s meeting."

Once they left the room, Su Qing, unaware of what had happened inside, only noted that her boss looked angry but had no idea why.

In the dim corridor, the air seemed to thicken around Gu Liancheng as he stopped and said to Su Qing, "Look up some information on Jin Xiangbei for me."

"Eh?" Su Qing was stunned as it was so sudden, but quickly nodded and asked, "How detailed do you want it?"

"Detailed enough to know his personal life."

What...!?

Su Qing didn’t understand her boss’s intention at all.
