Chapter 181 Setting the Stage

Hearing Su Tianyu's arrangement, Jiangzhou immediately waved his hand and said, "Forget it, forget it! My old man might appreciate exotic flavors, but I haven't reached his level."

"Oh, there are plenty of women." Su Tianyu lied to his sworn brother, "Don't worry, after we finish our business, I'll have Da Bai bring a truckload from Dragon City for you, and they'll empty you out in one night."

"Stop bragging, my head is buzzing." Jiangzhou bent down, sat down, and opened a bottle of beer himself. "So, what's up?"

"What could be up?" Su Tianyu bent down and sat down. "I just wanted to ask, how's the situation in Pana City?"

Jiangzhou said softly, "Bruna's insider is active, cooperating with the Chinese Workers' Association, and has gotten some information. Currently, Tagu is trying to win over the local families and wealthy merchants in Pana City... and he's doing it secretly."

Hearing this, Su Tianyu laughed. "Heh, so Bruna was right! You tell me, the old man is dead, the third son has polio, the little sister has been kicked out, and Tagu is contacting the local families secretly. What does that mean? Who is he guarding against?"

The two sly foxes looked at each other and smiled. Jiangzhou immediately added, "I also think a big change is about to happen there. We were right to withdraw early. Here's what I'm thinking..."

...

On the streets of Washington Island, a business car was driving slowly.

Wang Ying sat in the passenger seat, her brows furrowed as she asked, "What are you planning to do with this gathering?"

"What else can I do, still trying to trap An Qiqi?!" Xue Nan said softly, "Her dad and her mom are both old foxes, without a single flaw on them. It's a little difficult for the higher-ups to find fault with them, so they can only focus on her."

"Why do you have to mess with them?"

"That's a long story. After An Zecheng landed in Dragon City, he's been wearing the same pants as Tan Hengqiang, which has affected the interests of the old guard. And he also took the opportunity to kill the old guard's officers and injure the old guard's young master. It's normal for the higher-ups to want to move against him." Xue Nan spoke vaguely, "Don't ask about the details, it won't do you any good to know."

"Oh!"

Wang Ying nodded.

"Since you can't get her to invest, we'll change our approach." Xue Nan frowned slightly and said, "Find a way to get An Qiqi's personal information, find a place in Washington Island to rent her a house, and I'll put some cash in it."

"Then what?"

"Then, during the gathering, I'll find two red figures from the Chinese District to show up in public, make slight contact with An Qiqi, and you provide them with a little private space." Xue Nan paused and said, "There must be evidence that they were alone together, understand what I mean?"

"That's not difficult." Wang Ying said immediately, "Although she's very cautious, she hasn't experienced these things after all, and she trusts me quite a bit. You organize the gathering, bring the people over, and I'll make an excuse to leave for a while, and they'll have time alone, right?"

"That's right." Xue Nan nodded.

"But are these things useful?" Wang Ying asked.

"They're useless to ordinary people, full of loopholes, but they're useful to the An family." Xue Nan got straight to the point, "Do you know how the Xin family got into trouble?"

"I've heard a little about it," Wang Ying replied immediately, "Wasn't it because Xin Xiaoming accepted bribes from Chinese District capital in the Second District?"

"That's right." Xue Nan said with a light laugh, "But that's only one aspect, the most important thing is that the higher-ups are determined to investigate him, that's why things can get so big."

Wang Ying nodded slowly, "I understand."

Xue Nan turned his head to look at Wang Ying, reached out and pinched her pretty face, "Your task is to coax An Qiqi well and let her step into the trap step by step. As for money and such, that's easy to say... For the old guard's young masters, a casual phone call will have people willing to invest in you."

"...Mm!" Wang Ying nodded slowly.

Xue Nan drove the car, and seeing that her expression was a little unnatural, he immediately smiled and asked, "What's wrong, do you feel guilty about your good friend?!"

Wang Ying was stunned for a long time, then smoothed her hair and replied, "What friends or not... Let's take care of ourselves first."

"That's right! What the hell are friends, classmates, they're all useless." Xue Nan said with a smile, "These days, as long as you can make a name for yourself, except for your parents who can't be sold, your wife and children can't be sold, the rest aren't important. Just remember, when you're doing well, when you have power and influence, you'll never lack girlfriends!"

"You don't need to tell me that... I've had that kind of life before, I understand what it was like before and what it's like now." Wang Ying replied indifferently.

"Squeak!"

Xue Nan stopped the car next to a small grove, reached out and played with Wang Ying's hair, and said softly, "Baby, you're really too beautiful, and smart too...!"

"Stop it, I have to go back." Wang Ying gently opened his palm.

"I'll be quick... I have to enjoy the present, what if you meet someone with more power and influence in the future... What am I then? What do you say?!" Xue Nan gently raised the other person's chin with his hand.

Thirty seconds later.

"Squeak, squeak...!"

The car body shook, and a sour sound of the shock absorbers shaking rang out.

Three minutes later.

The car left the grove and headed towards the hotel.

...

The car drove for twenty minutes before stopping at the entrance of the island hotel.

"Hurry back!" Wang Ying straightened her hair, pushed the door open and got out of the car.

"I'm on the island, don't delay any longer. Lay the groundwork tomorrow morning, and we'll do things tomorrow night." Xue Nan raised his head and instructed, "Have a meeting here, then go to the city next week for another meeting, that'll be enough."

"Okay, I got it."

"Call me anytime if anything happens, I'm not leaving, I'm staying at the hotel in the back."

"Okay!"

After the two finished communicating, Xue Nan drove away, and Wang Ying quickly returned to the hotel.

...

After a while.

"Beep!"

Wang Ying opened the door with her room card and tiptoed into the room.

"You're back?"

Next to the floor lamp in the living room, An Qiqi was eating instant noodles.

Wang Ying was startled when she saw her, "You're not asleep?"

"I woke up hungry and got up to eat something." An Qiqi put her hair up and asked casually, "...Where did you go?"

"Oh, my stomach wasn't feeling well, so I went out to buy some medicine." Wang Ying paused and replied, "Don't always eat midnight snacks, it's bad for your health."

An Qiqi looked at her and nodded slowly, "Oh, it's okay, I don't always eat them."

"Then you should rest early, I'll take a shower and go to sleep too."

"Okay!"

After the two finished speaking, Wang Ying returned to her room and immediately closed the door.

An Qiqi sat in the living room, her head lowered, stirring the instant noodles stiffly, her brows furrowed.
