Ignite Cherry

Chapter 46: Mr. Li is different

　　The four walls of the club's private room are covered with smooth, wrinkle-free velvet wallpaper. The dim light shines through the gorgeous chandeliers, enveloping everything in a peaceful and warm atmosphere.

　　There were exquisite floral arrangements on the table, and glasses filled with fine wine next to them, emitting gorgeous bubbles, which formed a unique combination with the exquisite decoration in the private room.

　Lind, with his hand on his wine glass, sat opposite his subordinate Jeff.

　　Jeff felt the pressure in Linde's eyes and said awkwardly, "I didn't expect Shi Miming and Li Que to react so quickly this time..."

　　"Do you think it's a coincidence?" Lind's tone was too decisive, leaving Jeff almost no room to answer.

　　Jeff was startled, then shook his head slightly: "I think maybe not."

　　"Heh." Linde sneered.

　　At this moment, there was a gentle knock on the door of the private room. A waiter in neat uniform came in, followed by a middle-aged woman who timidly entered the room.

　　He stared at the middle-aged woman, the sneer on his lips gradually disappeared, replaced by a hypocritical gentleness: "Auntie Wang, hello, please take a seat."

　　This middle-aged woman was Aunt Wang, the housekeeper in Shi Miming and Li Que's home. Lin De bribed her to help expose the truth about Shi Miming and Li Que's fake marriage.

　　However, they had always communicated through intermediaries before, and this was the first time they met in person.

　　The waiter gently pulled out a chair for Aunt Wang, poured her a glass of wine, and said with a smile, "Mr. Lin, I'll be out first. If you need anything, please feel free to ask."

　　Lind waved to the waiter, who nodded and left.

　　Lin De smiled at Aunt Wang again: "Why don't you sit down?"

　　Aunt Wang nodded a little awkwardly and sat on the chair that the waiter had just pulled out for her.

　　Her eyes were wandering, and she was obviously uncomfortable with this unfamiliar place.

　　Linde smiled and said, "Come to think of it, this is the first time we've met, right?"

　　Indeed, they had previously contacted each other through middlemen, and Linde was still relatively cautious in this regard.

　　Lind picked up a cigarette lightly.

　　Jeff immediately noticed his boss's action and walked quickly to his side to light a cigarette.

　　Lind held the cigarette in his mouth and exhaled a light cloud of smoke: "Why did you ask to meet me this time?" Lind's voice sounded particularly low in the smoke, as if making up for the silence in the private room.

　　Aunt Wang sat on the chair, looking quite uneasy. Her fingers gently kneaded the hem of her skirt, her eyes wandering, as if she was thinking about how to express her concerns.

　　After a moment's silence, she said, "Mr. Lin, I didn't expect it to be so complicated for me to meet you directly like this. If I want to help you expose their affairs, I think I may need some extra compensation."

　　Linde smiled slightly, his eyes deep: "Raise the price? Okay, please tell me your request."

　　Aunt Wang sighed, as if she had made up her mind: "I know this may be just a small amount for you, but it is indeed a lot for me. I need enough money and your promise that after the success, you can let me leave Hong Kong Island and return to my hometown to live. I... I am afraid of offending rich people, which will bring trouble."
