Chapter 224 Generous Gift
Qi Ye prepared flowers and red wine and arrived at the door full of hope.
The door was opened by Wen Lu's nanny. "Sir, what can I do for you?"
The nanny only opened the door a crack, showing no intention of letting anyone in.
"I am Qi Ye, a lawyer from Wan Jin Law Firm. I need to speak with Attorney Wen about something."
Qi Ye, with an innocent-looking face, explained his identity and purpose.
The nanny remained expressionless, but her tone was arrogant: "The master and mistress have already gone on vacation. You can go back now."
The Wen family has been visited by countless celebrities and dignitaries. She is just a nanny. For her to speak to him in such an attitude, it must be because she has been authorized by her master.
Qi Ye knew the intricacies of tailoring his approach to different people.
But now he needs someone's help, and even if it's a nanny he never thought much of, he has to beg her in a humble manner.
Wen Lu only showed up at his door a few hours ago, how could she have gone abroad for a trip so soon? It's clearly just an excuse to avoid him.
"Auntie, I really need to speak with Wenlu urgently. Could you please tell him for me?"
She was just a cleaning lady who cooked, but she was the housekeeper of a renowned lawyer, far superior to any ordinary housekeeper.
The nanny puffed out her chest and looked down at him. "Xiao Qi, let me tell you the truth. The master didn't want to see you, so he went on a trip with his wife. No one can protect you from this. Someone wants to get rid of you. You're already in a bad situation, so don't come here and embarrass our master anymore."
Xiao Qi!
But no one has ever called him that.
Qi Ye clenched his fists in anger, his bloodshot eyes seeming to want to devour someone. "Someone wants to deal with me? Who?"
Seeing his impotent rage, the nanny straightened her back even more.
She curled her lip and said sarcastically, "Don't you know who you've offended?"
Qi Ye squinted his eyes, carefully considering the issue of the nanny.
The nanny looked him up and down with disdain. "Someone like you can actually be a lawyer? Bah!"
After scorning Qi Ye, the nanny slammed the door shut with a loud bang, shutting him out.
Good, good, very good indeed. Even a nanny dares to ride on his head and spit on him.
"Wait for me!"
The nanny stood behind the door and heard Qi Ye's words clearly through the electronic door lock's monitoring system, but so what?
"Just wait, you beastly piece of trash, daring to cause trouble for the master, you're tired of living. If the master didn't lend you a hand, how could you have a good life! You ungrateful wretch, it's a good thing the master wanted to marry the young lady to you, thankfully the young lady didn't want to."
Qi Ye, of course, did not hear such harsh words.
He turned around and threw the flowers and red wine into the trash can at the elevator entrance.
If they don't want to help, they don't have to; there are plenty of other people who will.
Having lived in Beijing for many years, he had many classmates, friends, and clients. He would call them one by one, and there was always someone who could help him.
Isn't the prerequisite for reaching an agreement a generous reward?
He's a law-abiding citizen; if he asks for something and offers good enough terms, he'll have plenty of people to help him.
But who exactly wants to harm him?
The events depicted in that video occurred more than six months ago.
It's only coming out now, which means someone definitely wanted to get him!
Who did he offend in the past year?
Qi Ye thought about the cases he had handled and analyzed the possible people involved.
Anyone could, but no one could either.
He had no clue.
Qi Ye returned to his car and smoked one cigarette after another, making one phone call after another.
Without exception, not a single call was answered.
"When the wall falls, everyone pushes it down, you bunch of bastards! Have you forgotten when I helped you? Damn it!"
He angrily slammed his fist on the steering wheel, and the cars parked on the side of the road immediately emitted a sharp, piercing horn sound, which was extremely annoying.
Passersby glared at him angrily, pointing at his inappropriate behavior.
"It's so noisy! Don't they know that honking is prohibited in the city?"
"That's so rude!"
He doesn't care; he's in a bad mood right now, and nobody else is going to have a good time.
Even after sounding the horn for several dozen seconds, Qi Ye's emotions did not improve.
No one helped him, and he didn't even know where the filming and the circulation originated.
The video has been taken down, and even the censored version is no longer available online.
He, the person involved, was also exposed online because of revelations from a former classmate, another party involved, and a friend.
He was the only one affected by the entire incident.
Call the police?
No, we can't call the police; that would be walking into a trap.
All his options are blocked. What is he supposed to do? Just let the situation escalate? Let others bully him?
He became a person with no way to seek justice, whose cries to heaven and earth went unanswered.
He wanted to escape all of this.
Qi Ye turned off his phone, started the car, and sped away.
As evening fell, a magnificent red sunset blanketed the sky, and a bewildered Qi Ye appeared on Linjiang Road.
"Nighttime, a bar," Qi Ye murmured to himself. "Alcohol is a good thing."
Drinking alcohol numbs your senses, and the world becomes quiet.
He walked in slowly, looked around, and sat down in front of the most glamorous, proud, and wild female bartender.
Conquering women and making them beg him is his forte.
"Give me the strongest liquor, beautiful lady." He casually tossed a small wad of cash he'd brought from the car onto the marble bar.
Little did he know, somewhere on the second floor, a pair of peach blossom eyes narrowed slightly. From the moment Qi Ye stepped into the bar, Ji Yubai had noticed him.
He's a leopard can't change its spots; he's still eyeing beautiful women.
He deliberately chose a day when Lingxi was away on a business trip to make the move, in order to prevent Lingxi from recalling unhappy things.
That scumbag guy, of all people, willingly walked right into the line of fire.
Then he should kindly give him a generous gift.
Ji Yubai beckoned to someone in the distance.
The bar manager immediately stepped forward and respectfully said, "Young Master Ji."
“Didn’t A Biao want Lehua? Tell him I couldn’t find Lehua, and I’ll give him a bottle of Romanée-Conti from my cabinet.”
"Yes." The bar manager never asked many questions; he did his best to fulfill Young Master Ji's orders.
Ah Biao, who was enjoying an aromatherapy massage, heard his subordinate's words, pushed aside the fragrant beauties around him, and asked, swinging his muscular arms, "Young Master Ji gave me Romanée-Conti?"
The subordinate dared not be ambiguous and relayed the message, "Yes, Brother Biao. The manager said that Young Master Ji personally instructed that since they couldn't find the Leroyal you wanted, they would send you a bottle of Romanée-Conti instead."
"Get the car ready, I'll go get it myself." Ah Biao couldn't hide his excitement.
What a joke! That's wine delivered by Young Master Ji; he has to go get it himself.
Romanée-Conti is better than Le Havre; Little Chili will definitely like it.
What is Little Chili doing?
Thinking of the way Little Chili glared at him, Brother Biao felt a chill run down his spine.
"hiss……"
If I could have a good, loving time with Chili Pepper, it would be like being in heaven.
The subordinate reported: "I'm at work today."
"Very good, very good." Ah Biao rubbed his hands together, eager to see his beloved.
Little Chili Pepper, Brother Biao is here!
But your boss asked me to pick up the wine.
