Chapter 673: Chapter 673: Caught Red-Handed
The two of them eavesdropped at the door for quite a while, but as they listened, it turned out Chen Yuan was just conversing with Yuan Baoxuan about food, drinks, and fun. They didn’t touch on loan business at all.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qiao Yin and Lu Yanxi eyed each other in confusion, “Don’t you find it strange?”
Lu Yanxi nodded, “Indeed, it is strange. Chen Yuan isn’t the type to enjoy leisure and pleasure. Why is he bringing up these topics constantly? Is he too timid to ask Yuan Baoxuan to lend him money?”
“That couldn’t be the case. I never thought of him as shy. Someone who is shy wouldn’t come to borrow money from you again and again. He must have a reason for sticking with this topic. Let’s listen some more.”
After a while, Qiao Yin heard Chen Yuan mentioned about gambling in casinos. She was taken aback and began to think that perhaps this was the real leisure activity he was trying to bring up after all these detours.
Sure enough, the conversation that followed was all about gambling.
It was apparent that Yuan Baoxuan, seated inside, had been to casinos before, and he was particularly interested in the topic.
Both Qiao Yin and Lu Yanxi had never been to a casino. Some of the jargon they were using left them clueless.
But Lu Yanxi was no fool, she had caught on by now.
Her eyes filled with a hint of dread, she asked in a hushed voice, “Yinyin, Could Chen Yuan be recruiting people to gamble? Has he gone mad?”
Qiao Yin was equally surprised, and responded in a low tone, “It seems like it. His so-called financial company, it’s probably just a front.”
No wonder when she hacked into Chen Yuan’s mobile phone, every chat she saw was about how profitable their business was and that it didn’t require any capital investment, just recruitment of more people.
She initially thought Chen Yuan was joining a pyramid scheme, but it turns out it wasn’t a pyramid scheme, it was gambling!
The two of them felt uneasy and continued anxiously eavesdrop at the door. They were so focused that they didn’t notice there were a few people behind them.
As soon as Lu Lingche arrived at their floor, he spotted Qiao Yin.
Even though all he saw was her back, he recognized her immediately.
As for the unkempt woman beside her, he took quite a while to recognize that it was his cousin Lu Yanxi. She even wore his hat on her head. It almost fell off as she pressed her face against the glass door, but she was oblivious to it, listening very intently.
His hat was obviously given to Lu Yanxi by Qiao Yin. She really didn’t regard his belongings as anything special!
He stood behind Qiao Yin, took a glimpse of the situation inside through the glass door and said indifferently, “What are you looking at?”
Qiao Yin jumped in shock. She turned around and saw Lu Lingche. She immediately clamped her hand over his mouth, “Keep your voice down!”
Lu Yanxi was also shocked, but seeing it was Lu Lingche, she felt relieved. After all, Second Brother was one of them, it wasn’t a big deal if he caught them. As long as they weren’t discovered by Chen Yuan’s people, everything would be fine.
Xie Xingchen had stood behind Lu Lingche. But he had been curious when he saw Qiao Yin and Lu Yanxi listening so intently at the door, and so he walked over to the glass door to take a peek inside.
Lu Yanxi was so shocked that her soul almost left her body. She quickly grabbed Xie Xingchen’s wrist and forcefully pulled him aside to avoid being discovered.
Xie Xingchen staggered a bit due to her pull, but he still greeted her with a good-natured smile, “Yanxi, you—”
Scared out of her wits, Lu Yanxi quickly placed her hand over his mouth, “Hush, don’t call my name!”
Xie Xingchen was taken aback. So she really—didn’t regard him as a stranger.
It made sense that Qiao Yin covered Lu Lingche’s mouth since they have been married in the past. Therefore, her reflexive act of covering his mouth was not inappropriate.
But he and Lu Yanxi were not familiar at all. It was only their third meeting today, her immediate covering of his mouth seemed a bit too intimate, didn’t it?
