What Kind of Grudge Is This?
Welcome to "I'm Trapped in the Same Day for a Thousand Years," exclusively produced by Feilu Novel Network, narrated by Sang Ze Wang Xiaomo Lao He.
Mao Rusong was completely bewildered, even suspecting that Wu Chen was being sarcastic. When Wu Chen had called him before, his words had been threatening, delivered with a mocking tone, giving Mao Rusong the feeling that Wu Chen knew something about Mao Rusong and was there to threaten him.
After meeting Wu Chen, he suspected that Wu Chen was a world-class professional assassin.
In the short time he had known Wu Chen, Mao Ruosong felt that Wu Chen was not a good person, but someone who would be very detrimental to him, and whose target was likely his life and property.
But what does this mean? Isn't he going to use the fact that he tricked Ding Runlong to threaten him?
How come they're doing so well?
I wrote, "Hey, what do you mean by 'well done'?"
Mao Rusong truly didn't understand.
It's not that I don't understand the sentence, but that I don't understand Wu Chen's attitude.
That's great!
Wu Chen smiled very kindly at Mao Rusong.
Mao Rusong's eyes, which appeared large due to his thinness, darted around. He carefully considered the various possibilities before tentatively asking, "Mr. Wu, do you have a grudge against Ding Ruilong?"
He smiled and nodded at Wu Zhen, admitting it.
Mao Rusong took a deep breath, opened his mouth as if he understood, and relaxed a lot more than before. A smile appeared on his face as he said, "Mr. Wu, you should have said so earlier!"
Oh, look at you, you scared me to death.
Actually, he wasn't as relaxed as he seemed.
We're friends, Mr. Wu is one of us.
Mao Rusong gestured with his right hand, saying that he was just trying to build a relationship.
He was actually puzzled again. Since Wu Chen was Ding Ruilong's enemy, he certainly wouldn't betray him, so why was he coming to find him?
They definitely want me to do something to screw over Ding Ruilong.
Mao Rusong didn't want to, but if Wu Chen really made that request, should he agree or refuse?
If he were to refuse outright, Mao Rusong truly didn't know if he would be able to leave this office alive today.
Mr. Mao, I heard that He Shiqin has been under your care all along?
Wu Chen smiled.
He Mao Rusong's expression changed drastically.
He Shiqin, Ding Ruilong's woman, also gave birth to Ding Ruilong's illegitimate daughter.
Mao Rusong was good at making friends and building relationships. He liked to figure people out, and he had known about Ding Ruilong's illegitimate daughter living in Magic City for many years.
He not only knew about it, but also helped look after things. It wasn't that Ding Ruilong asked him to; he offered to help voluntarily.
Any man who intends to have excessive contact with He Shiqin will be warned by him, and anyone who tries to bully He Shiqin and her widowed daughter He Xinxin will be dealt with clearly by Mao Rusong.
Mao Rusong was considered to have extensive connections and influence throughout Magic City, with friends at all levels.
In the Dongpu District, Ninth Dimension Bar is located Dongpu District, and its influence in this area is even stronger.
From street thugs to billionaires, everyone who knows him has to respectfully address him as "Fifth Master Mao."
Above him, even more important figures either addressed Mao Rusong as a brother or affectionately called him "Old Mao."
Mao Rusong was incredibly powerful in Dongpu District, to the point of being able to command the wind and rain.
He Shiqin and He Xinxin live in Dongpu District.
To prevent anyone from disturbing their peaceful life together, Mao Rusong even arranged for his trusted subordinates to buy a house near He Shiqin's home.
He had a few men under him who took turns watching the photos of He Shiqin and He Xinxin, partly to monitor them.
He knew that although Ding Ruilong no longer liked He Shiqin, Ding Ruilong was a man with obsessive-compulsive disorder and a strong sense of purity. He would go crazy if another man took the woman who had borne him a child.
Moreover, Ding Ruilong wasn't entirely heartless. Although he publicly denied acknowledging his illegitimate daughter, he would deposit eight figures into He Qin's account every year as child support.
Knowing what Ding Ruilong cared about, Mao Rusong took the initiative to help and take care of him. He even tipped off Ding Ruilong, letting him know that someone was trying to get close to He Shiqin and that he didn't mind that He Shiqin was raising her child alone and wanted to be the father of his illegitimate daughter.
This is why Wu Chen Magic City to see Mao Rusong first when he came to Shanghai. If he went to see He Shiqin, met with He Shiqin, and even tutored her at her home, it would definitely attract Mao Rucong's attention. Once Mao Rucong felt there was something wrong, he would definitely investigate and might even tip off Ding Ruilong.
If Ding Ruilong finds out, Wu Chen's plan against He Shiqin will definitely fail.
What poetic sentiment?
Mao Rucong's expression grew increasingly strange.
Wu Chen admitted to being Ding Ruilong's enemy, and he even brought up He Shiqin He Shiqin, who has Ding Ruilong's illegitimate daughter with her. What is he trying to do?
Mr. Wu, what do you mean?
Mao Rusong's eyes widened in disbelief. What kind of grudge did this person hold?
Hatred can be big or small. For example, Gu Ruibo and Ding Ruilong fought for a long time in business, but it was limited to deceit and trickery in business.
Gu Ruibo wasn't unaware that Ding Ruilong's illegitimate daughter was in Magic City, but he wouldn't pay attention to it unless he wanted to fight the entire Ding Family to the death. Although He Xinxin was an illegitimate daughter, she was still of the Ding Family blood. Even if the Ding Family didn't acknowledge her, they still had their pride.
There's a saying that goes, "Even when beating a dog, you have to consider its owner," let alone an illegitimate daughter.
I'm going to take them to the East Sea.
Wu Chen smiled and said frankly.
Take it away, to the East Sea.
Mao Rusong's eyes were still wide open. He had just guessed that Wu Chen wanted to hurt He Shiqin and He Xinxin to get revenge on Ding Runlong, but now that he heard it didn't seem like that. He felt that it was kidnapping, threatening Ding Runlong, and kidnapping them.
Mao Ruosong asked again.
No, I will make them voluntarily come back to the East Sea with me.
Wu Chen, however, said...
Purple Garden?
Mao Rusong was still puzzled. How could it be voluntary?
Huh?
Wait, Donghai City.
Mao Rucong suddenly thought of the East Sea, and the first name that came to mind was Li Ruotai.
Although East Sea is not the Li Family's stronghold, Li Ruota has been very successful East Sea in recent years. Mao Rusong had heard of the name of Young Master Li of the East Sea. He knew that East Sea was Li Ruotai's territory. Although the Li Family 'Li Family marriage alliance with the Ding Family failed four years ago, the two families have gradually started to cooperate and are currently in an alliance relationship.
This young man named Wu Chen is planning to take Ding Ruilong's woman and illegitimate daughter to the East Sea. Could there be some connection between these plans?
Mao Rusong blinked and stared at Wu Chen for a long while. Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he asked Wu Chen, "Mr. Wu, your name is Wu Chen?"
Um?
Wu Chen smiled and nodded.
Wu Chen, Wu Chen.
Mao Rusong felt like he had heard the name before, that someone had mentioned it casually once, but he couldn't quite place it. It seemed like the conversation that time was also related to the East Sea.
The phone rang; it was Mao Rusong's. Mao Rusong picked up the phone and glanced at it. The caller ID showed "Little Google," and it was Gu Ruibo calling.
Mao Rusong glanced at Wu Chen again and said, "Sigh, I need to take this call."
He then cleared his throat, answered the phone, and before he could even speak, Gu Rui Bo's voice rang out. "Hey, Lao Mao, what's the situation on your end?"
Your people called me. Are they a professional hitman or something?
I'm on my way, bringing people to your place.
Uh, Mao Rucong hesitated for a moment, then glanced at Wu Chen and said, "Um, Brother Gu, let me ask you something first. Do you know who Wu Chen is?"
East Sea?
Mao Ruosong vaguely remembered that it was Gu Rui Bo who had mentioned the name Wu Chen to him once.
Wu Chen knows, so what?
What's the situation?
Why did you bring this up?
No, it's him. He's sitting right across from me.
Are you sure about him?
Gu Rui Bo raised his voice.
Gu Rui Bo's voice startled Mao Rusong; the reaction was a bit too much, and he could sense that Gu Rui Bo was somewhat bewildered.
Gu Rui Bo was naturally dumbfounded, because it was Mao Rusong's confidant who called him, saying that something had happened and that a very powerful assassin had come, but he never expected that it would be Wu Chen, Little Google .
Who exactly is Wu Chen?
I think you mentioned it to me once.
Mao Rusong asked again, his gaze fixed on Wu Chen.
It's strange that Wu Chen would call others and ask who Wu Chen is.
However, Wu Chen didn't show any sign of being bothered and remained calm. He knew who Little Google was. Although he wasn't sure if Gu Rui Bo knew him at this point in time, since it wasn't July 7th anymore, time was moving forward and everything was changing, Wu Chen could deduce that Gu Ruibo had most likely heard of him.
First, there's the issue of social circles. Mao Rusong is a billionaire in Magic City, a very shrewd and sophisticated person, but he doesn't have any family background. He has his own business and social circle, and Ding Ruilong is just one of his connections. Apart from taking the initiative to help Ding Ruilong look after He Shiqin and He Xinxin, there's no other contact between them.
Mao Rusong was of course unaware of the Bet between Li Ruobing and Ding Ruilong, and since there was no other connection, he didn't care.
Four years have passed since the failed marriage, so no matter what happens in the East Sea recently, or whether Li Ruobing has found a boyfriend again, such things will not reach Mao Rusong's ears directly.
But Gu Rui Bo is different. Like Li Ruotai, he is from a prominent family and belongs to the same circle. It is inevitable that the people he comes into contact with will talk about each other's families.
More importantly, Gu Rui Bo and Li Ruotai have a very good personal relationship. Every time Li Ruotai comes to Magic City, he will get together with Gu Rui Bo. Li Ruotai has a good relationship with many disciples of the She family in Magic City, but his best relationship is with Gu Rui Bo. This is because Li Ruotai dislikes Ding Runlong very much, as he did in the past. Therefore, Li Ruotai and Gu Rui Bo have become very close.
As far as Wu Chen knows, Li Ruotai even complained to Gu Rui Bo about some family matters after Li Ruobing rejected the marriage proposal. Of course, he wouldn't mention the Bet, but he did mention that he wanted to help his older sister but was powerless to do so. His grandfather and father were both very stubborn and wanted to continue pressuring his older sister.
As an outsider, Gu Rui Bo couldn't say anything, so he could only pat Li Ruotai on the shoulder to comfort him.
Therefore, Wu Chen believes that Gu Rui Bo most likely knows about him.
Wait a minute, let me check. I'm not sure. You keep things calm, I'll be there to arrest the person right away.
Gu Rui Bo didn't tell Mao Wuru Cong directly; he hung up the phone after speaking.
Hearing the busy tone on his phone, Mao Rucong was slightly taken aback. Why did he need to verify anything?
Is Gu Rui Bo coming over?
Wu Chen smiled and asked Mao Rusong directly.
Uh, yes.
Mao Rusong paused for a moment before nodding, then asked, "That Mr. Wu, does he know Little Google?"
He felt strange after asking the question.
Know?
Why go through all that trouble?
I don't know him.
Wu Chen smiled, but I know him, and he knows me.
What else did Mao Rusong want to ask?
Let's talk about He Shiqin.
Wu Chen interrupted, steer the conversation back on track.
Wu Chen briefly inquired about He Shiqin's recent situation. Actually, the main question was about what happened in the days following July 7. Wu Chen already knew about the previous events, and theoretically, nothing unusual should happen during these days. Wu Chen was just asking casually.
During Wu Chen's questioning, Mao Rusong repeatedly inquired and probed Wu Chen, wondering what Wu Chen was up to.
Wu Chen would definitely not tell Mao Rusong that He Shiqin was a witness to Dong Yuantao's death; Wu Chen had only mentioned it to him briefly, and he should pretend he didn't know anything about it.
It's very simple, let's analyze the post next.
As for anything concerning He Shiqin, he could simply pretend not to know. Mao Rusong had taken the initiative to help and take care of her, and had not made any promises to Ding Runlong. Ding Ruilong had not asked him to do anything either. Therefore, whatever happened to He Shiqin had nothing to do with Mao Rusong. So, pretending not to see it was no problem for Mao Rusong.
If He Shiqin had suddenly disappeared, Ding Runlong certainly wouldn't blame anyone; he would seek Mao Rusong's help in finding her.
Of course, the key question is why Mao Rusong should listen to Wu Chen?
Because Wu Chen held leverage over him, leverage that could cause Mao Rusong great trouble, and might even lead to Ding Ruilong taking extreme revenge on him.
However, Wu Chen, holding this leverage, did not threaten or harm him; he simply asked him to do something that would not endanger him—all he had to do was nothing.
He was very close to Gu Rui Bo, who was a business rival of Gu Rui Bo Ding Runlong, so psychologically, Mao Rucong was quite willing to agree to this.
He was a person who disliked trouble, and by pretending to be blind, he could avoid getting involved in the conflicts between these large families, which he was more than willing to do.
Seven or eight minutes later, Wu Chen and Mao Rusong had almost finished talking.
Wu Chen's phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Li Ruobin calling.
Are you all in Magic City?
Li Ruobing spoke first, asking directly.
Yes, Ade called you.
Wu Chen laughed.
Right.
Li Ruobing agreed.
The wild one then asked, "What are you going to Magic City for?"
Just now, Li Ruobin received a call from his younger brother, Li Ruotai, who directly asked if his brother-in-law had gone to Magic City, saying he had heard it from a friend.
Li Ruobing wasn't sure either, but said that Wu Chen did go out today, probably on business in Magic City.
Wu Chen laughed and said, "A Tai, why didn't you just call me directly? Why did you have to ask me? What do you think?"
Li Ruobing retorted irritably, "Why would you tell him?"
You won't even tell my dad what you said, so he doesn't know if you're still angry with him.
Okay, you go ahead and do your thing. I'm having dinner with Qin Ying. I think A Tai will call you soon. You two can talk to him.
Li Ruobing hung up after she finished speaking.
Just seconds after Li Ruobin hung up the phone, Wu Chen's phone rang again; it was Li Ruotai.
Hey, A Tai.
Wu Chen answered his brother-in-law's call, "I heard from my friend that you're in Magic City?"
Li Ruotai asked, his tone still carrying a hint of caution.
Yes, Gu Ruibo called you?
Yes, it's Little Google.
Brother-in-law, that Little Google is my brother.
Brother-in-law, please stop. If he's done anything wrong, please go easy on him. I'll talk to him.
Li Ruodai spoke, she began to speak well of Gu Rui Bo.
The longer he knew Wu Chen, the more he realized how terrifying Wu Chen was, especially his father Li Maoren's attitude towards Wu Chen, which seriously affected him.
This morning, Li Ruodai spoke with her father again. They talked about many things, and there was no misunderstanding; it wasn't what you think.
Wu Chen smiled, indicating he was there to discuss business.
He just called me and asked if it was someone my brother-in-law mentioned named Wu Chen.
Have.
Li Ruota paused, also unable to explain clearly, because Gu Rui Bo hadn't explained it to him clearly, only mentioning things like gunmen and threats, saying it was all a misunderstanding.
Wu Chen laughed.
Just then,
The office door opened, and two bodyguards in black entered first, followed by a group of bodyguards surrounding a salesman in his early thirties. He wore a sharp dark purple suit and had his hair neatly slicked back; it was Gu Rui Bo.
Sitting in the chair, Wu Chen turned his head and glanced at his phone, saying he had arrived.
Okay, I'll stop here for now, it's okay.
Wu Chen hung up after he finished speaking.
A group of bodyguards were on high alert, but Gu Rui Bo remained calm. He noticed the young Wu Chen sitting in the chair, paused, and asked, "Wu Chen is also from the East Sea?"
Before he could even ask, Gu Rui Bo's phone rang. He had his phone in his hand, waiting for Li Ruotai to call back. Now that he thought about it, it was indeed Li Ruotai calling.
A Tai and Guriber finished speaking to their sister, they turned around and took a few steps toward the door.
Yes, he's my brother-in-law. Please be polite.
Li Ruotai said directly.
This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
