Chapter 136: Good Acting
Chapter 136
“Haha, back then you took more than ten of our cargo and ran away, and even sent my brothers to prison. Now you’ve forgotten about it?” Shen Tang suddenly realized, “So you’re the one who slipped through the cracks!”
After speaking, Shen Tang stared at his face for a while, “Did you get plastic surgery? You look a little different from before. I didn’t even recognize you.”
The veins on the man's face twitched wildly, even Brother Biao was a little worried that if Shen Tang kept talking like this, she might get hit.
He walked over and said, "Boss, let's focus on what's important."
The man took a deep breath, "You're right, what's important comes first."
Shen Tang looked around, "By the way, where's Gu Huaian? Is he here?"
"Haha, still thinking about your lover? He's dead."
Shen Tang scoffed, "Make up something more believable. Does that sound plausible even to you?"
"I believe it. He really fell off a cliff and died!"
The smile on Shen Tang's face was barely maintained, "Impossible!"
"Oh, are you angry? Sad? Haha, this is how I felt when you sent my brothers to jail."
"I don't believe you. When did this happen to him?"
"Just a few days ago, I happened to find out he came here alone. When I went after him, he misstepped and fell off the cliff."
Gu Qingan, who still had a hood over her head, had two hidden holes that allowed her to observe the situation.
She noticed that when the boss spoke, he looked directly at Shen Tang without making any facial expressions of recollection. She guessed this was probably false, or half true and half false.
Shen Tang had also learned a little about acting. She thought of this as well.
However, since the other party said this, it means he hopes she is heartbroken. Then she'll put on a show for him to see how good she is. She also wanted to see what this man was up to.
"Impossible, impossible... you must be lying to me..."
Shen Tang shook her head crying, her eyes red, with tears hanging on her face that made people feel heartache.
Even Shou Zi couldn't bear to look away, but the boss was unmoved.
He even calmly criticized, "Not bad acting."
The corner of Shen Tang's mouth twitched. This man really is...
She pretended to want to wipe away her tears, but realized her hands were still tied up. She was just going through the motions. She almost tore it open.
She quickly put her hands down, sniffed and said, "Thanks for the compliment. I should get the Oscar for Best Actress next year, right?"
"You're so smug just from me praising you once?"
"Brother, let's be honest. Why did you bring me here? If it's for revenge, go ahead and do it!"
After Shen Tang spoke, she closed her eyes, lifted her head, and exposed her fair, delicate neck.
Gu Qingan next to her took a step forward, frightened.
This little sister was a bit fierce.
"It is for revenge, but you still have another use. Take her away and lock her up."
Yellow Hair Man wanted to come over but was beat by Brother Biao and Shou Zi. He was a little unhappy. Shou Zi grinned and said, "Let me handle this rough work."
He and Brother Biao were grasshoppers in the same boat as Shen Tang now. Their bright future was right before their eyes. He couldn't let this uncontrollable pervert Yellow Hair Man ruin their future boss.
Shen Tang and Gu Qingan were taken to a small room with only one window, sealed with iron bars, and a big iron door that was airtight.
Shen Tang found a slightly cleaner place to sit down. "Did something really happen to Gu Huaian?"
Brother Biao shook his head. "We're not sure. Shou Zi and I joined later, we weren't core members so we weren't involved in these things and don't know the details. But from what I know of the boss, it's probably not entirely false."
Shen Tang's heart also sank. She guessed it was like this too. Gu Huaian may have really gotten into trouble, but they didn't know the specifics of the situation yet.
They didn't know anything, and couldn't find anyone if they went to look for him blindly. It was better to stay here and let this boss look for him, and then take all these people down once he was found.
Shen Tang looked at Gu Qingan, wanting to say something but ended up closing her mouth again.
Although Brother Biao and Shou Zi said they wanted to join her side, Shen Tang didn't completely trust them yet.
Those who betray once can betray again. Who knows if they might sell her and Gu Qingan out someday too.
Shen Tang looked at Brother Biao and was about to speak when she heard the sound of spitting next to her.
Shou Zi had just spit up phlegm and was about to spit it out when he was scared by Shen Tang's threatening gaze and quickly swallowed it back down.
Shen Tang happened to see it almost come out.
Gu Qingan next to her also couldn't stand it and looked away, forcing herself not to imagine that scene.
Brother Biao was also disgusted by Shou Zi and scolded, "Can you be more civilized!"
Shou Zi looked aggrieved. "Miss Shen wouldn't let me spit on the floor..."
"Can't you spit outside? Is holding it in for a while going to kill you?"
Shou Zi pouted and said in a low voice, "I'll pay attention next time, alright?"
He didn't think much of it, and even felt they were making a big deal out of nothing.
These young ladies from rich families were just pretentious. What was wrong with spitting? If they saw him peeing and pooping, wouldn't they be scared to death?
Shen Tang whispered a few words to Brother Biao. Shou Zi didn't hear clearly and wanted to move closer to listen. But the two had already separated.
He felt a little unhappy inside. What were they saying that he couldn't hear?
"Miss Shen, is there anything you need me to do?"
Shen Tang smiled. "Not for now. I'll need to see what his next move is before I can make arrangements. Brother Shou, I'll be relying on you to protect us these next few days."
Hearing Shen Tang call him brother, Shou Zi's back straightened again. He patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, leave it to me."
The two couldn't stay in the room for too long. After a simple chat they went back out.
Only after Shen Tang and Gu Qingan thoroughly checked for cameras did they huddle together to whisper.
"Tangtang, you were too reckless with what you said earlier."
Shen Tang felt a little guilty. She touched her nose and instead asked, "Sister, what do you think he plans to do with us?"
"Look at his goals. His target seems to be Huaian. He probably won't do anything to us."
Of course, this was just her guess.
After all, they were females. There were a few perverts like Yellow Hair Man. If someone came to grope them at night, it wouldn't be good.
Although Shou Zi promised to protect them, she guessed that when they really needed him, he might not be much help at all.
This kind of person always put themselves first.
"But Gu Huaian shouldn't have any grudge against him, right?"
Shen Tang carefully recalled the matter. Gu Huaian had only come to pick her up, and that warranted holding a grudge?
However, Gu Qingan understood Gu Huaian better. "I feel that maybe Huaian did something against them behind your back."
She also knew about that incident. Shen Tang was more severely injured. Based on Huaian's personality, it was likely he got angry on behalf of his beauty and went to take revenge on those people.
Just sending them to jail certainly wouldn't be enough, especially for this one who slipped through the cracks. Perhaps he couldn't stay anywhere else so ran to hide in these remote mountains and forests.
Gu Qingan felt her guess was probably 70-80% true.
And the reason Tangtang didn't think of so much was perhaps because Huaian only showed her his good side when they were together.
Everyone had a dark side, including him.
Gu Qingan sighed. She only hoped Tangtang could also happily accept it when she saw Huaian's other side.
