Chapter 204: Coincidental Encounter at the Bar

In the Wu family’s house, Yang Shan and Wu Yi picked up the clothes on the ground. They pathetically stuffed their things into their luggage and did not have the face to continue lingering around.

Wu Pang took out all his change which barely made up a few hundred yuan. The three of them found a basement hotel near the villa and temporarily stayed there.

Looking at the moldy washroom and the insects crawling all over the floor, Yang Shan kicked the tables and chairs in frustration and pointed at Wu Pang as she shouted, “I followed you back then because I wanted to live a good life. Look at what we’ve been reduced to now!”

“How is this a place for humans to live?”

Wu Yi looked at the two double beds in front of her. She glared resentfully at Wu Pang and Yang Shan, who were arguing nonstop, and dug her nails into her palms.

Wu Pang was already filled with anger when he heard Yang Shan’s interrogation. At that moment, he erupted and roared, “Isn’t it all because of you?”

“You insisted on provoking Wu Mei! If we didn’t provoke her, we would be living happily in the villa right now.”

“You wanted to harm that woman. It was you who angered Wu Mei and caused us to end up like this!”

Wu Pang became increasingly more furious and grabbed Yang Shan’s hair. Then, he grabbed the ashtray on the table and smashed it on the ground. “Stupid b*tch, it’s all your fault for getting in my way!”

Wu Yi couldn’t be bothered to listen to their argument anymore. She coldly watched as Yang Shan got beaten up. Enraged, she stood up and pushed open the door of the basement room.

“Where are you going?” Yang Shan roared as she asked. Indifferently, Wu Yi opened her red lips and replied, “I have to go out and find a way to live. Do you think I’ll starve to death here with you?”

Wu Yi changed into a hot, tight skirt and went to the bar counter to take a seat. She ordered two cocktails.

At the noisy and lively bar counter, Li Dongjue was discussing something with his friend. When his gaze landed on Wu Yi, he found her somewhat familiar.

Frowning, he pondered while looking through the information he had saved when he was investigating Wu Mei.

“Interesting.”

After discovering Wu Yi’s identity, Li Dongjue patted his friend’s shoulder and left the table. Pretending to be nonchalant, he sat down beside Wu Yi and got the bartender to prepare a cup of soda water for her. He said softly, “Girls need to be more careful when coming to the bar alone. I saw that you’ve been drinking alone. Is there something on your mind?”

Wu Yi looked over and was a little stunned when she saw Li Dongjue’s refined and handsome face.

Based on her sharp intuition for fashion and money, Wu Yi knew that Li Dongjue’s suit was specially tailored overseas and his wristwatch was expensive.

Wu Yi selectively described the difficulties she had encountered and exaggerated how Wu Mei had ruthlessly harmed the entire family. From time to time, she stole a glance at Li Dongjue’s reaction.

Li Dongjue took out a handkerchief and wiped the tears from the corner of Wu Yi’s eyes. With a gentle gaze, he said with slight heartache, “I came back from a business trip at the border. I have a few friends here. If you need anything, you can look for them. They might be able to help you.”

Li Dongjue handed Li Yanghong’s name card to Wu Yi. Seeing that the fish had taken the bait, his eyes shone with satisfaction.

In the villa, Wu Mei used her connections and found out that a batch of people from overseas had surged into the city’s customs and airports within a short period of time. Frowning, she dialed Ben’s number and asked, “Has anything unusual happened recently?”

Sitting in the surveillance conference room, Ben stared at the Special Agent’s radar screen and said, “Nope, the Viper Organization probably hasn’t made any moves.”

Looking at the information in her hand in bewilderment, Wu Mei reminded him, “It’s very likely that they will change their identities and sneak in in batches.”

“You need to pay attention to the people who have recently entered this city from overseas. These few flights need to be carefully examined. There are dozens of suspicious people on them in total.”

Wu Mei sent the name list that she had found to Ben. He flipped through it silently and also frowned, feeling that something was amiss.
