YOUNG MASTER FENG, YOUR LADY HAS STUNNED THE WORLD!

Chapter 156 - Manipulating the Owner



Chapter 156: Manipulating the Owner

In the afternoon, the owner came to the hospital.

The incident had already spread locally. Everyone knew that Li Xiu and her family were murderers.

It happened in her small restaurant. The owner was actually quite nervous. She bought a fruit plate and wondered why Gu Chu wanted to see her.

Gu Chu only had two things in mind.

Firstly, it was to talk about compensation. Secondly, she didn’t forget the purpose of coming to the capital.

To solve the problem of the opposition.

Although Lin Yu let her recuperate in peace and said he would take care of things himself, she also wanted to do something.

Anyway, she could talk her way out of it, so she asked her to come.

Gu Chu had a pleasant attitude. She first apologized to the owner, “I’m sorry for burning down your store.”

The lady boss laughed dryly. “It’s my own fault. I believed Li Xiu’s words. She said that Lianhua Supermarket had a discount and told me to go there quickly. She also said that she had finished shopping and could help me look after the store, so I went.”

“That’s true. You’ve been neighbors for so many years. Of course, you thought that she meant well.”

Gu Chu took out an envelope from under the blanket. Inside was the compensation money that she asked Feng Jia to prepare. She handed it to the owner. “This is for your compensation for the fire.”

The owner did not expect Gu Chu to be so straightforward. She quickly took it. “Thank you!”

Gu Chu smiled.

Feng Jia was in a corner of the ward. While he was handling his own work, he watched the little fox raise her tail and put on an act. She was thinking about how to persuade her.

Gu Chu said again, “I think you know what happened to Li Xiu, right? She led the opposition to the construction not because she wanted to get more compensation for you, but because she was afraid that the corpse would be found.”

The owner was stunned.

Gu Chu revealed her identity. “I’m not a tourist, but the person in charge of the Sky Garden Project.”

The owner’s hand that was holding the envelope trembled. “Then why did you call me here today?”

“The police are investigating Li Xiu and the others. You and her are working together to oppose the construction. They will definitely ask whether you knew that they were hiding the corpse, or they might suspect that you are helping them.”

The owner’s face gradually turned pale. “No, no! We have no idea about this at all! We’re really just here for the compensation!”

Gu Chu sighed. “You might be the one who’s most affected by this. After all, Li Xiu and the others wanted to kill us in your restaurant.”

The owner panicked. “Then, then what should we do?”

Gu Chu patiently enticed her. “First, you must cooperate with the police. Tell them everything you know.”

“Of course!”

“Second, you must support the project. The more you support it, the less guilty you are.”

The owner was at a loss. “Is that all?”

“Of course not.” A sly look flashed across Gu Chu’s eyes. “I will be the mediator and try to eliminate the negative perception of you and the others.”

The owner seemed to be deep in thought.

Gu Chu turned her head and met Feng Jia’s eyes. Feng Jia said silently, “Manipulator.”

Gu Chu gritted her teeth. So what if she was manipulating her?

Feng Jia stopped looking at her and looked at the screen.

Susan sent a message. “The chairman is very upset with your failure to meet Stephen. CEO Huai has personally gone abroad to negotiate with Stephen in person. They have already reached an agreement.”

The smile on Feng Jia’s face disappeared.

CEO Huai, Feng Huai, his second brother.

The owner finally made up her mind. “Alright, I’ll go back and tell them that I won’t oppose the project!”

Gu Chu finally heaved a sigh of relief. Every day that the project was delayed, it would cost money.

“Oh right, I heard that your neighbor caught Li Xiu’s son? Please help me thank him. If it weren’t for him, Li Xiu and the other two wouldn’t have been caught so quickly,” Gu Chu said.

The owner shook her head. “Which neighbor?”

Gu Chu frowned. “Didn’t your neighbor recognize Li Xiu’s son?”

The lady boss waved her hand. “We are old acquaintances. I really haven’t seen him before.”

Gu Chu was puzzled. Didn’t they say it was a neighbor? If they weren’t neighbors, how could he recognize him all of a sudden?

After the owner left, Gu Chu was still thinking about it. Even when Feng Jia walked up to her, she didn’t notice.

“What’s wrong?” He asked.

Gu Chu frowned. “The owner said that she didn’t know the person who caught Li Xiu’s son.”

Feng Jia said, “The police just contacted me and said that they will come tomorrow morning to take your statement. You can ask the police then.”

Gu Chu nodded. “Okay.”
