Li Xiude gritted his teeth, his mind racing.
"How did you know?"
"Know what?"
"Don't play dumb. How did you figure it out? Who told you?"
"Are you sleeping with Ouyang Hai?"
Li Xiude was certain someone close to him was the problem. It definitely wasn't Zhao Shengkai; he simply didn't know very much.
"Ouyang Hai? So that's it. You asked Wang Fen out on his behalf, didn't you? He can't even handle a woman like Wang Fen, and that useless idiot thinks he deserves to be compared to me?"
"You underestimate me. Let me tell you, I'm on my own. I alone am enough."
Li Lanxiang crossed her legs the other way and said leisurely, "Your good buddy Wang Xiaoliang specifically invited that famous Finance Professor from our school to give a lecture. What money management is, what venture capital is, what a Ponzi scheme is-I watched it several times. A good student like me would naturally put what she learned into practice. Still, you can't guard against everything. You managed to swindle me out of my hundred thousand yuan anyway. It hurts so much!"
Li Lanxiang laughed aloud.
Li Xiude's lips twitched.
"You kept saying investments carried risks, but you kept taking money. You even made it a private placement and insisted on secrecy." Li Lanxiang laughed as she spoke. "You really are something. If your good buddy hadn't explained it all to everyone, I might have fallen for it too. Though I never had the chance. You were always on your guard against me. You thought I was too close to Wang Xiaoliang and his wife and would get in the way of your grand plans, didn't you?"
Li Xiude didn't answer, but the expression on his face had already betrayed him. He was even more frightened.
