Reborn with Consumption System-Chapter 646 - 281: The Intense Sun_2

How little confidence does that Little Green Guy have in himself? Secretly installing surveillance in his own home… He's playing some wild games!

Since it wasn't convenient, Han Lie didn't touch Bai Yuqiu. He whispered his orders, "After you help your father-in-law to the guest room, check his clothes for a recording pen or anything similar. Check his cellphone too."

Bai Yuqiu's heart skipped a beat, and she immediately got to work.

Han Lie, on the other hand, turned and headed to the tearoom, painstakingly examining it inch by inch.

Fortunately, there was no surveillance or recording equipment in the tearoom.

Han Lie pretended to go inside to look for cigarettes and soon came out with one dangling from his lips, sitting down on the sofa in the second-floor living room.

Before long, Bai Yuqiu emerged with a grim expression, moved into a blind spot of the surveillance camera, and gently nodded to Han Lie.

Well, just as I guessed! Forget it, today is clearly not the right time. Better focus on the important stuff.

After a moment's thought, Han Lie stood up, put on his coat, looking as if he was about to leave.

Bai Yuqiu was furious with Gao Diaomao. What a perfect opportunity! I just finished wiping our wedding photos clean, and now it's all ruined because of *your* recording!

She escorted Han Lie to the entrance. Only when they reached the vestibule did she speak in a low voice, "There's a recording pen. It's a conversation between you two. I didn't have time to listen carefully... What should I do?"

"It's a small matter."

Han Lie grinned, an idea instantly coming to him. "Your father-in-law's clothes got dirty. You just happened to wash them and hang them up, and you didn't notice anything inside. Perfectly reasonable, right?"

Bai Yuqiu's eyes lit up. She pursed her lips and nodded forcefully.

"Great! I'll help the father and son with their laundry later! We received so many gifts today, so it's perfectly reasonable for me to be diligent and try to make a good impression! It's just a shame..."

"A shame about what?" Han Lie asked knowingly, raising an eyebrow with a mischievous smile.

The vestibule was a semi-enclosed space, with no surveillance cameras, nor any need to install them. Bai Yuqiu, unwilling to let the moment pass, suddenly squatted down... er, to tie Brother Lie's shoelaces.

"Don't move! You're a guest in my house, and I haven't taken good care of you. Let me help you with your shoes now!"

With her kind intentions, Brother Lie found it difficult to refuse.

Sigh, I guess I'll just have to let her…

Han Lie was wearing a pair of chunky combat boots today, with hardened shoelaces that were firm on the outside, tough on the inside, and had a smooth surface.

Bai Yuqiu's hands were too weak; she struggled for a long time but couldn't tighten them. Finally, with determination, she used her mouth to help.

She bit one end to hold it in place, then pulled hard with both hands.

Seeing her struggling and squatting unsteadily, Brother Lie kindly offered a hand to steady her.

By the time she finally stood up, her eyes were rolling back, and she was gasping for breath, clearly a bit oxygen-deprived. 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

"Look at you, so out of breath!" Brother Lie patted her head with a smile and advised, "Don't rush. Go back and have a few sips of red wine. Tomorrow, no matter who asks, you don't know anything. Wait until Xiaoshuang is settled, then we'll discuss things properly."

"Okay, I'll listen to you!" Bai Yuqiu nodded obediently, her speech perfectly clear.

Whoa, what a woman!

Han Lie wasn't one to linger on the alluring sight. As soon as he stepped out, he let any tender feelings scatter in the wind.

Regardless of the hour, he immediately dragged Liu Minghao out.

"In the middle of the night, Boss, what instructions do you have?" Liu Minghao, who hadn't brought Lü Shuli, had arrived at the presidential suite at Banyan Tree around midnight.

"Of course, it's urgent. I've just come back from Gao Diaomao's son's place."

The cigarette Han Lie tossed SMACKED Liu Minghao right in the face.

Liu Dalue stood there, utterly incredulous.

"Holy crap! In the middle of the night, you really went to their house to persuade his son's wife?! Uh... how was Little Gao's wife?"

Han Lie was stunned. What??? He found Liu Minghao's train of thought truly something else.

"What are you thinking?" The upright Lie frowned disapprovingly, feeling greatly insulted. "I went with Gao Diaomao and Gao Shen. We just had a chat at their place. Nothing happened between me and her; we didn't even hold hands all night, alright?"

Liu Minghao was reluctant to believe him, but seeing Han Lie's sincere and resolute expression, he had no choice but to.

"Really?"

"Of course, I swear!"

"Well, then..." Liu Minghao suddenly deflated, leaning lazily on the sofa. "So, what did you actually talk about?"

Han Lie briefly described everything that had happened that day. Liu Minghao couldn't help but furrow his brow tightly.

"Bro, I still don't understand your plan. Gao Diaomao has other companies and assets. If he pledges those, gathers about 500 million in cash, and acquires 20% of the shares, are you really planning to just sit back and be his minority shareholder? Setting a tiger to devour a wolf is indeed a clever plan, but what's in it for you?"

"Be patient." Han Lie opened a file, took out a pen, and decisively drew a few lines on it. "For now, this is all I can do. But with your help, things will be different."

"Oh?"

"Look, Gao Diaomao, Gao Shen, and his brother-in-law—the Gao Family altogether holds 50.3% of Gao Yuan Real Estate's shares. Unless it's absolutely necessary, he definitely won't touch his own family's shares."

"Right, I understand. Then what?"

Han Lie circled the words 'Mysterious Company' with his pen.

"Then, you need to quietly purchase the 6% of shares that person holds, let him continue to hold them by proxy, and instruct him that no matter how much pressure Gao Diaomao applies, he must steadfastly refuse to sell!"

Next, Han Lie circled the name 'Mr. Lin.'

"Afterward, we'll have someone contact Manager Lin. We don't need to acquire his shares; just let him know that Gao Yuan Real Estate is planning something big, with expected profits in the billions."
