My Sexy CEO Wife-Chapter 155 - 154 Clues

In the hospital room.

Mr. Song sat blankly on the bed, his gaze unfocused, his expression listless.

Just a moment ago, he had received several phone calls, all from friends, urging him not to make trouble anymore. That Gao Fei had a terrifyingly deep background and was not someone Mr. Song could afford to offend. If he didn't want to die a horrible death, he should go and apologize to Gao Fei immediately.

"Can't afford to offend... I can't afford to offend..." Mr. Song muttered to himself, "Years of arrogance, and in the end, I've hit a wall..."

What to do?

Really go and apologize?

Mr. Song couldn't afford to lose that much face!

"Forget it, I might as well apologize. When it comes down to pride or life, life is more important." Mr. Song sighed softly.

...

In the Ever Blossom Hotel.

Inside a suite.

Two men were drinking tea and chatting. These two men were Gao Fei and Lu Hao. As soon as Lu Hao learned that Gao Fei had arrived in the capital, he hurried over.

"Brother Fei, why have you come to the capital? Why didn't you call me in advance? Also, where have you been these past few days? Your phone was off when I tried to call you?" Lu Hao asked several questions in one breath.

"I came to the capital to take care of some business, and I'll leave after that's done," Gao Fei replied casually.

"Brother Fei..." Lu Hao was about to speak when a burst of urgent ringtone interrupted him, "Who is this, calling at a time like this! So annoying!" Lu Hao took out his cell phone and pressed the answer button grumpily, "Hello... Oh? He's here? Okay, I got it..." Lu Hao hung up the phone, and then grinned, "Brother Fei, that Mr. Song who offended you is here.

He says he wants to apologize to you. Do you want to see him?"

"Him?" Gao Fei curled his lips, "Tell him to get lost! I don't want to see him!"

"Come on, you should see him," Lu Hao smiled, "Take this opportunity and extort him good. I've inquired about it, and this Mr. Song owns several companies. He's very rich."

Gao Fei glanced at Lu Hao, "Do you think I would be short of money?"

"You're the chairman of a big conglomerate, of course you're not short of money!" Lu Hao shrugged his shoulders, "But I am short of money... I'm nearly starving... Even eating a meal has to be carefully budgeted... "

"You short of money? What a joke," Gao Fei said, "Aren't you the young master of the Lu Family? How could you be short of money?"

"The family froze my bank account," Lu Hao said with a gloomy face.

"Frozen?" Gao Fei was startled, "Why? Did you cause trouble?"

"It's all because of Feng Yan. The family is pressuring me to marry her, but I refuse, and then... they froze my bank account, trying to threaten me with that."

"They've hit you where it hurts! Life's been difficult for you lately, hasn't it?"

"Definitely. I was used to spending money like water, and now I have to pinch pennies. It's a huge contrast," Lu Hao lamented.

"You asked for this," Gao Fei smiled, "If you had just married Feng Yan honestly, you wouldn't have all these problems, right?"

Lu Hao didn't like hearing that, "Brother Fei, you've seen Feng Yan. She's so ugly, how could I marry her?"

"Feng Yan might be a bit unsightly, but she has a kind heart. If you married her, you might be happy."

"That's easy for you to say because it's not about you. If it were you, would you marry Feng Yan?"

"I would."

"You... you're just trying to agitate me! If I'm driven to madness, you'll regret it," Lu Hao said, seething.

"I'm just kidding, and you took it seriously," Gao Fei patted Lu Hao's shoulder, "You're so sensitive."

Lu Hao sighed, "I've been so worried lately. Just the mention of Feng Yan makes me shiver... please, don't joke about this with me anymore, I really can't take it."

"Okay, I won't joke about it anymore," Gao Fei nodded, "Marriage is a lifelong matter. Think carefully and don't make rash decisions."

"I know, I'll consider it carefully," Lu Hao nodded, "Brother Fei, you should meet with Mr. Song... Give him a good thrashing, don't let him off easily!"

"Fine, I'll listen to you and meet him." Gao Fei agreed, swayed by Lu Hao's persuasion.

...

A few minutes later, Mr. Song stepped in cautiously, "Mr. Gao, I'm sorry, truly sorry. I was blind to not recognize your eminence and offended you. Please forgive me." Mr. Song kept bowing and apologizing, his manner incredibly sincere.

"This is a small token of my sincerity, I hope Mr. Gao will accept it." Mr. Song placed a brand-new bank card on the coffee table, "It has five million in it."

"Crap!"

Lu Hao slammed the coffee table fiercely, roaring, "Are you treating us like beggars? Listen up, Mr. Song, if you want Brother Fei to let you off, you need to show some sincerity! One hundred billion! Come up with one hundred billion, and then he'll let you off!"

"How much?" Mr. Song's body swayed, nearly falling to the ground, "One hundred billion? You... even if you sold me, I couldn't come up with that much money!"

"Stop pretending to be poor here," Lu Hao snorted coldly, "I've already investigated you. Your net worth is over one hundred billion, and you're quite the figure in the capital. You were even featured in a magazine interview not long ago."

"The companies aren't mine alone, I only hold a portion of the shares..."

```

"I don't want to hear your excuses. If you want to settle this peacefully, pay up ten billion. If you can't bear to part with the money, then go home and wait for death."

"I... I..." Mr. Song felt a surge of anger, he really wanted to lash out, but in the end, he restrained himself. He absolutely couldn't afford to lose his temper today, or else the trouble would be enormous.

"Mr. Gao... please, say something..." Mr. Song pleaded pitifully to Gao Fei, "I really can't come up with ten billion..."

Gao Fei slightly lifted his eyelids, "Really can't come up with it?"

"I swear! I really can't come up with ten billion!"

"Then how much can you afford?"

"I..."

"Listen, you only get one chance. Think carefully before you answer me."

...

Mr. Song wiped the sweat from his face, his throat felt dry, unsure of what to answer. If he said too much, it would pain him, but if he said too little, he feared Gao Fei would be displeased... He was truly at a loss.

"Bang bang bang!"

Lu Hao slapped the coffee table with his hand, producing a dull sound, "Have you gone mute? Can't speak? Do you need me to help you? Slap you a few times?!"

Mr. Song swallowed hard, then said shakily, "I... I can come up with... at most ten billion... that's my limit... If you're still not satisfied...

there's nothing I can do..."

Ten billion?

Lu Hao blinked. That didn't seem too little, did it? He initially demanded a hundred billion purely to scare Mr. Song. As the saying goes, ask for the moon to get a handful of stars – the higher the demand, the higher the final deal.

"Alright, ten billion it is," Gao Fei nodded, "Lu Hao, give him your account details, have him transfer the money to you."

"Uh..." Lu Hao hesitated, "That doesn't seem appropriate..."

"What's not appropriate?" Gao Fei said with a smile, "Aren't you short of cash? I'm asking you to take the money now! Ten billion should be enough for you to spend for some time."

"Brother Fei..."

"You know my temper. Once I make a decision, it won't change."

Under Gao Fei's forceful insistence, Lu Hao accepted Mr. Song's money – a whole ten billion. Lu Hao had never had so much money before. Hmph, so what if my family froze my accounts? I can still get money, and now I've gotten ten billion!

Without my family's support, I can still live freely and easily!

"The money's been given. Can I leave now?" Mr. Song asked carefully.

"Not so fast." Gao Fei pointed to a chair across from him, "Come, sit down. I have a few questions to ask you."

"Ah? Oh, sure!" Mr. Song pulled out the chair and sat down, sitting up straight, "Ask away. I'll tell you everything I know. If there's something that I don't know... I'll find out for you."

"You're quite familiar with Manager Wu, right?" Gao Fei's inquiry about Manager Wu was impromptu. If Mr. Song knew the inside story, that would be ideal; if not, it was no big deal.

Mr. Song was taken aback, "Manager Wu? The one who runs the underground auction?"

Gao Fei nodded, "Yes."

"Oh, I've known him for several years. In my eyes, he's just a lackey. I've never given him the time of day."

"Then do you know Manager Wu's boss?"

"I do," Mr. Song nodded, "I've met him a few times, even had meals together."

"You know him!" Gao Fei's eyes lit up, "Who is Manager Wu's boss?"

"He's a bald guy named Shi Dabao, in his forties, very short," Mr. Song said, "He speaks in a soft, delicate way, like a woman."

"What's the background of this Shi Dabao?" Gao Fei continued to inquire.

Mr. Song shook his head, "I'm not sure about that. Shi Dabao is quite cunning and never talks about his own affairs... Oh, hold on, I remember something..."

"What is it?" Gao Fei quickly prompted.

"A few months ago, Shi Dabao invited me to dinner. He was drunk and started spouting nonsense..." 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"What sort of nonsense?"

"He said... he discovered an emperor's tomb... filled with treasures... I was also drunk at the time, and I vaguely heard these words... When I asked him the next day, he denied ever saying it..."

"An emperor's tomb?" A glimmer flashed in Gao Fei's eyes. It seemed the rumors were true. Shi Dabao was very likely a tomb robber. In that case... the items from the Qin Dynasty auctioned last night, they must have been stolen from the tomb.

Tomb Robber?

Interesting!

"That will be all. You're free to go," Gao Fei waved his hand, "From now on, live a honest life. Stop being so arrogant. In this world, there are plenty of people who are more formidable than you."

"Yes, yes, I'll remember it. I will definitely change my ways," Mr. Song heaved a long sigh of relief. The matter was finally resolved, and the heavy burden in his heart was lifted. After making a promise, Mr. Song turned and left.
