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.

Everyone paused for a moment and turned to look. It was indeed a group of guests who had just finished eating and were coming downstairs to leave. There were six or seven people in total, both men and women.

The man who was in the lead, the one who spoke to them, looked to be in his forties, with short hair and a medium build.

Wu Chen knew who he was.

Luo Wangsheng, 47 years old, is the chairman of Mudu Jingyang Investment Company.

In recent years, besides running Senlan Group, Wu Yurong has also been involved in other businesses, such as funds and investments, so he knows quite a few people in this circle.

Luo Wangsheng greeted her with delight, then quickened his pace and stepped forward to shake hands with Wu Yurong.

Uh, Ms. Wu, it's been a long time.

Luo Wangsheng also looked like he had drunk quite a bit; his face was flushed.

Yes, it's been a long time! Mr. Luo is still as dashing as ever!

Wu Yurong smiled and shook his hand.

Ms. Wu is still as charming as ever, hahaha.

Luo Wangsheng exchanged a few pleasantries with Wu Yurong before noticing the person next to him.

He had drunk too much and his observation skills were dulled, which is why he noticed that he knew the person next to him.

Gu Rui Bo, who had been holding Wu Chen's shoulder, let go of Wu Chen and stood up straight while the two were talking.

Luo Wangsheng didn't pay much attention, and Wu Chen didn't recognize him, but he did notice Gu Rui Bo.

Young Master Gu is here too!

Luo Wangsheng's tone immediately changed, and his eyes scanned back and forth twice. This attitude was related to his connections and background.

Luo Wangsheng is from the Magic City Xiang Family Shanghai. Like the Gu Family Xiang Family, the Xiang family is one of the top families in Magic City. Although the two families cannot be called enemies, they are competitors.

The second and third generations of the two families competed fiercely in business. Luo Wangsheng was someone who made his fortune by relying on the Xiang Family. He was not only not on the same side as Gu Rui Bo, but also had direct competition with Gu Ruibo in some investment businesses due to differences in funds between Xiang Jia and Gu Rui Bo.

Gu Rui Bo has been investing for a long time, Wu Yurong has also been investing and playing with funds in recent years. The two even had dinner together and talked about cooperation.

Although it was just speculation, Lu Wangsheng felt that this was not good news for him or the Xiang Family.

Guriber Jenna squinted at Long Wangsheng without saying a word. She was still a little swaying from being drunk, clearly having drunk too much, but she was still capable of thinking. She just didn't want to pay any attention to Luo Wangsheng.

Seeing this, Luo Wangsheng looked at Wu Yurong again, and said with a smile, "Ms. Wu, you've made a big deal today!"

What big business?

It was just a casual get-together.

Wu Yurong replied with a smile.

After exchanging a few polite words, the two groups left the restaurant one after the other, said their goodbyes, and then dispersed.

Gu Rui Bo had drunk too much, so he didn't say much more to Wu Chen. He mentioned that they would meet again tomorrow, and then his bodyguard helped him into the car.

Wu Chen got into Wu Yurong's car, and they arrived at the hotel a few minutes later. The hotel was a five-star hotel called Maowei International Hotel, which was located nearby.

This was arranged by Wu Yurong during a meal, under the pretext of going to the Restroom, and was instructed by her female bodyguard Chu Yan.

Forty or fifty minutes later, around 11 p. m., Wu Chen carried Wu Yurong out of the Restroom in the Presidential Suite on the top floor of the Maowei International Hotel.

The two of them had showered together, and it wasn't just showering together.

Wu Yurong held onto Wu Chen tightly, refusing to let go until Wu Chen placed him on the blanket, at which point he finally released the blanket.

Soon, Wu Chen also lay down; it was time to rest.

However, before taking a break, Wu Chen had one more phone call to make.

With one arm around Wu Yurong, Wu Chen reached out and took the phone from the cabinet.

He was flipping through his contact list when Wu Yurong turned over, leaned against Wu Chen's shoulder, and hooked her arm around Wu Chen's neck.

Do you know who that Mr. Luo you met at the restaurant entrance is?

Wu Yurong asked softly and languidly.

Luo Wangsheng.

People from the Xiang Family.

Wu Chen replied softly.

Do you know?

Aren't you worried that your Xiang Family will find out about my collaboration with Gu Ruibo and cause trouble?

Wu Yurong asked again.

They won't know the specifics of your collaboration. At most, they might find some small, covert investments, and that would take several months. Eventually, some people will find out that you're investing with Gu Ruibo. All they can find out about are normal business transactions.

Are you afraid it will break?

Wu Chen turned to look at Wu Yurong, who was standing close by, and smiled after speaking. "That's what I said, but I'm afraid I don't really know how far the competition Xiang Family and the Gu family has gone. I know their situation. Don't worry, I'll handle any problems."

Wu Chen turned his head and kissed Wu Yurong on the forehead, then smiled and said there was nothing to worry about.

Wu Yurong's expression subtly changed. He looked up and tugged at Wu Chen, then leaned down against Wu Chen and tightened his grip on Wu Chen's arm.

Wu Yurong experienced the feeling of being protected by a man through Wu Chen.

Wu Chen looked at his phone again and dialed Li Ruobing's number, which he had just found.

It was connected very quickly.

All wrapped?

Li Ruobing spoke first.

That's enough, time to rest.

Wu Chen asked again in a short voice, "It's so late, aren't you going to rest yet?"

They've been waiting for my call.

Wu Yurong looked up briefly, then lowered his head again, leaning closer. Because they were so close, he could hear clearly.

I'm at the company, working overtime, I won't be going home tonight.

Li Ruobing said.

Is it that hard?

What about the press conference?

Wu Chen asked.

Yeah, it's getting closer, I'm so busy.

Li Ruobin replied, then his tone changed, "My dear Mr. Wu, considering how hard I've worked, can you tell me now what exactly you went to Magic City for?"

Sure.

Wu Chen laughed and said that he had never intended to hide this from Li Ruobing; he just wanted to get things done first.

Over the next few minutes, Wu Chen gave a brief explanation of the situation. There was nothing he couldn't say; in short, he wanted Wu Yurong to cooperate with Gu Rui Bo to acquire the Ding Family's peripheral assets.

The key to this matter is not how to hunt down the enemy, but why the cooperation was brought about. The responsibility lies with Dong Yuantao's incident, which Wu Chen had already discussed with Li Ruobing before, so there's no need to repeat it.

A few minutes later, Li Ruobin fell silent after listening. Wu Chen's explanation was too brief, as if it had been done casually, and Wu Chen hadn't mentioned many details.

However, Li Ruobing could imagine some of it, because she knew Wu Chen best and knew exactly how terrifying Wu Chen was.

Wu Yurong, who had been listening the whole time, couldn't hear anything anymore, so she looked up and leaned closer, and even managed to hum in response.

Li Ruobing could hear even the slightest sound, and he could immediately tell who was next to Wu Chen.

It's different when you've slept with him; you give him all the royalties, billions of dollars worth of articles.

Li Ruobing spoke up, her tone irritated.

Wow, my dear Miss Li, you smell so jealous! It's not like you at all.

Wu Chen laughed as he spoke.

I wasn't jealous.

Li Ruobin emphasized that, knowing Wu Yurong was there, there were some things he didn't want Wu Yurong to hear, so he didn't continue. After a pause, he said, "Just keep making me angry. Make me angry every day. Wait until you go back to the East Sea, and see how I deal with you."

Get rid of me?

Wu Chen laughed.

Get rid of me?

Li Ruobing replied immediately.

Okay, I'm kind of looking forward to it.

Wu Chen laughed again, saying he was shameless.

Li Ruobing seemed to be thinking of something, and muttered, "Alright, you should get some rest."

Just as Wu Chen was about to say something right, Li Ruobing suddenly interrupted, almost forgetting something because she was so angry with you.

Wu Chen asked Ding Ruilong, " Ding called me today."

Li Ruobing said.

What did he say to you this time?

Wu Chen spoke in a very calm tone.

Li Ruobing paused for a moment before saying that he wanted to come to the East Sea to apologize to me in person.

Wu Chen raised an eyebrow. Ding Ruilong had arrived in the East Sea. Had Ding Runlong said when he would be coming to the East Sea?

Wu Chen raised his eyebrows and said, without mentioning a specific time.

Li Ruobing paused for a moment, as if he wanted to say something to Wu Chen, but didn't. After a pause, he said, "I told him not to come, and even if he does, I won't see him."

However, Wu Chen understood that Li Ruobing couldn't control Ding Ruilong.

Ding Ruilong can come and go as he pleases; I'll be returning to the East Sea in a couple of days.

Wu Chen thought to himself.

Yes, Wu Chen.

Li Ruobing agreed, then called Wu Chen's name again, but fell silent once more.

What's wrong?

Wu Chen asked.

It's alright, we'll talk about it when you get back to the East Sea.

Li Ruobing replied that she still didn't say anything, as some things are meaningless to say over the phone.

Wu Chen could indeed guess what Li Ruobing was going to say to him. He was worried that once Ding Ruilong arrived in the East Sea, Wu Chen would use East Sea to completely destroy Ding Ruilong.

Although Li Ruobing felt that Wu Chen wasn't the kind of person who would act recklessly, and that his plans were proceeding smoothly, there was no need for him to create unnecessary trouble.

But if Ding Ruilong were to court death by provoking Wu Chen in the East Sea, or by saying anything offensive to Wu Chen to his face, he would have no chance of escaping death.

Li Ruobin wanted to persuade Wu Chen and communicate with Wu Chen more, but it was inconvenient over the phone and wouldn't be effective. He could only wait until Wu Chen returned to the East Sea to talk to him.

Wu Chen and Li Ruobing exchanged a few more words, said goodnight to each other, and then hung up the phone.

It's past 11 pm, I really should go to sleep.

Wu Chen put his phone down, then slid down a little, turned over and hugged Wu Yurong Wu Chen, Wu Yurong snuggled completely into his arms. They turned off the light and went to sleep.

In the darkness, Wu Yurong suddenly asked Wu Chen in a soft, gentle, and sweet voice, "Ding Ruilong is going to the East Sea, what are you planning to do?"

It'll be fun, won't it?

Wu Chen paused for a moment, then smiled and said in a subtle tone, "It's a new day. It's a little past 7 a. m. on July 17, 2020. "Wu Zhen opened his eyes on time, looked at the ceiling of the Presidential Suite bedroom, and smiled.

Wu Yurong was still asleep. He had indeed drunk quite a bit yesterday. Although he had taken hangover medicine and exercised to sweat, he had gone to bed a little late.

As soon as Wu Chen moved to turn around and grab his phone, Wu Yurong woke up, because he had been sleeping with Wu Chen in his arms.

Wu Yurong opened his eyes, drowsily swaying back for a moment, then looked at Wu Chen, who was so close to him, and gave him a gentle smile. He leaned down and kissed Wu Chen's chin.

Around 8 a. m., Wu Chen and Wu Yurong finally got up to wash, shower, and get dressed. It wasn't until 8:30 a. m. that the two of them left the room together.

At this time, the female bodyguard Chu Yan was already pacing in the outer corridor, and two of Wu Yurong's male bodyguards were also making preparations.

Wu Yurong briefly explained the itinerary to Chu Yan, and then went with Wu Chen to the Western restaurant on the third floor of the hotel to have breakfast together.

Around 9 a. m., after having breakfast, Wu Yurong and her group left and went directly back to the East Sea.

The convoy came and went, and it only took three or four hours to reach the East Sea via the highway.

It's worth mentioning that Wu Yurong left a car for Wu Chen before leaving, because he knew that Wu Chen came to Magic City by high-speed rail and didn't have a car in Magic City, which was quite inconvenient, so he left a car for Wu Chen.

It was a Mercedes-Benz S-Class sedan with an East Sea license plate.

At the hotel entrance, Wu Chen stood with his hands in his trouser pockets, turning to watch Wu Yurong's convoy depart.

After the convoy turned at the intersection, Wu Chen looked away, glanced at the cars coming and going on the main road, smiled and thought for a moment. Then he turned around and walked quickly towards the Mercedes-Benz S-Class that Wu Yurong had left behind; the keys were in his hand.

Open the door, get in!

Sitting in the car, Wu Chen took out his phone, scrolled through it, and opened QQ Chat, opening the chat interface with Lin Yuan.

From the moment He Shiqin took the initiative to add him as a friend and ask him to be her tutor, until today.

During this time, Wu Chen would chat with He Shiqin whenever he had a spare moment, and promised to meet her when he came to Magic City.

Now is the time.

Wu Chen quickly typed with one hand, "Are you there?"

I arrived in Magic City yesterday, and I happen to have time to send this today, in about half a minute.

Has Teacher Xincheng arrived yet?

Where is it?

Let's arrange a place to meet.

In Dongpu District.

Oh, Dongfu District! What a coincidence! Xin Xin and I also live in Dongfu District. Would it be convenient for Teacher Xin Cheng to come directly to our home?

Just in time to see the stars?

OK.

Afterwards, He Shiqin gave the address to Wu Chen and typed, "Thank you, Teacher Xingchen."

The two exchanged a few more words and then ended their conversation.

Wu Chen started the car and drove off. More than 10 minutes later, he arrived at Century Garden Community Magic City the New Design Park in Dongpu District. This community is not considered high-end in Shanghai, but only mid-range. However, because of its good location, the housing prices are particularly high, currently exceeding 100,000 yuan per square meter.

However, this community has been around for more than ten years. When it was first launched, the prices weren't as high as they are now. He Shixin bought her apartment early, so it only cost her a few million.

Wu Chen parked the car on the roadside outside the residential area, but didn't get out. The management of this residential area was quite strict; you had to swipe a card to enter and exit, and there were security guards watching over you. He needed to call He Shiqin and ask her to come out and pick him up.

Wu Chen took out his phone and dialed He Shiqin's number again. No one answered for a long time until the call was automatically disconnected. Wu Chen calmly dialed again, but still no one answered.

Just as Wu Chen was about to make his third attempt, he saw a little girl wearing an oversized hip-hop jacket, black jeans, and a long ponytail walking quickly out of the elementary school gate.

She's a very pretty girl, not very tall, but very thin and fair-skinned. Judging by her age, she should be around fourteen or fifteen years old, probably in her second or third year of junior high school.

She was still wearing slippers, her eyes were red, and her face looked angry and aggrieved, as if she had just had an argument with someone. She walked away sullenly.

Soon, Wu Chen, sitting in the car, smiled and put his phone down and put it away.

This young girl is He Xinxin.

He Xinxin left the residential area and walked west along the sidewalk. Wu Chen's car was parked on the side of the sidewalk. She took off her seatbelt, opened the door, got out of the car, and walked onto the sidewalk.

Thus, He Xinxin walked directly towards her.

Wu Chen stopped, one hand in his pocket, and greeted He Xinxin with a smile.

Um!

He Xinxin, who was walking angrily, looked up, sniffled slightly because she was sobbing, and asked, "Who are you?"

Do I know you?

Don't you remember me?

Wu Chen asked with a smile.

He Xinxin was stunned again.

Because Wu Chen had a good image and didn't seem like a bad person, He Xinxin was temporarily unguarded towards Wu Chen. Instead, she blinked at Wu Chen and thought seriously for a moment, "Who is this man in front of me?"

Have you seen it before?

Do you know each other?

I've even been to your house!

You and your mom live in unit 3, apartment 702, right?

Wu Chen smiled and said something.

Are you Xin Xin?

He frowned, looking like he had been thinking about it for a while.

Just then, Xin Xin, Xin Xin, don't run away!

A woman's voice shouted from inside the residential compound gate, accompanied by hurried footsteps.

Xin Xin suddenly turned her head to look, and seemed angry again.

He quickly glanced around, ran to the roadside, hid behind Wu Chen's Mercedes-Benz S-Class, and crouched down.

Just as he hid, a beautiful woman who looked to be in her late twenties, wearing a long dress, rushed out of the residential area.

She was also wearing slippers, and her face looked anxious. As soon as she came out, she started looking around as if she were looking for someone.

Wu Chen stood on the sidewalk with one hand in his pocket, looking at the woman with a subtle expression.

This woman was He Xinxin's mother He Shiqin.

Wu Chen turned his head to look behind his car. From his angle, he could see He Xinxin, but He Shiqin couldn't.

He Xinxin gradually lost sight of herself, hurriedly waved her hand at Wu Chen, then clasped her hands together and shook them, giving him a pleading look, begging Wu Chen not to say anything.

Wu Chen smiled and looked at He Shiqing again, then suddenly raised his hand, clenched his fist, covered his mouth, and coughed lightly.

This concludes this episode. We hope you'll continue listening!
