<strong>Capítulo 1275: Chapter 1288</strong>


    But after thinking for a long time, she ultimately decided it was better not to tell him.


    Throughout the journey, Mu Bingtong was always distracted. Chu Ge looked at her, puzzled, and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you tired?”


    Mu Bingtong shook her head, “No, I’m just thinking about some things.”


    Thinking about the nightmare she had before, she now felt a sense of oppression facing Chu Ge, making her very ufortable.


    “In a while, we’ll put down the luggage, and I’ll take you out to eat. After dinner, you can rest. Don’t go hungry.”


    Mu Bingtong nodded, “Okay.”


    Then they didn’t say another word. The quietness of the time allowed a mysterious feeling to develop between the two of them silently.


    Chu Ge asionally sneaked nces at Mu Bingtong from the corner of his eye, and Mu Bingtong was also stealing nces at Chu Ge.


    asionally, their eyes would meet, only to hurriedly look away again.


    Arriving at the vi, Chu Ge settled Mu Bingtong, and after she tidied up briefly, they went out for a meal.


    Five-star hotels didn’t appeal much to Chu Ge, but unfortunately, some people always preferred such ces.


    Moreover, since many people see such ces as symbols of power and status, a person of Chu Ge’s standing naturally can’t just casually settle his meal at a street market like an ordinary citizen.


    Mu Bingtong, this time, was evidently prepared as she chose a renowned high-end restaurant in Capital City; nheless, for Chu Ge, just having a meal with her here was nothing surprising.


    Inparison, the news she brought was clearly what Chu Ge was focused on.


    “Is yourpany in trouble now? Alright, tell me, what’s the issue? Cash flow?”


    Holding an ice-cold lemonade with amusement, Chu Ge’s expression was as if he had never expected Mu Bingtong toe looking for him, using a mocking tone and a lightugh.


    The plush restaurant private room exuded a faint aroma of dishes, and the dishes on the table were abundant, yet only a bit was picked; both had a small appetite, though the hotel’splimentary drinks were consumed quickly.


    The speed at which the ice water in the container diminished could almost be described as “instantaneous,” Chu Ge’s question went unanswered, leaving him feeling helpless and shrugging, and then he stood up, turned towards the door, smiled impably, “If you insist on toughing it out yourself, I guess I can’t be of help here, so I’ll head back first.”


    Chu Ge knew he had a lot to do, and it was entirely impossible for him to waste time in such a ce; despite the enticing dishes on the table, this room, drenched in the smell of money, didn’t fit his personal lifestyle.


    Although his daily life was never divorced from money, the gap between men and women also made him unwilling to spend money on unnecessary embellishments.


    Just a little, a tiny bit, to make those close to him clearly recognize his status would suffice.


    Behaviors like decorating the dining ce in such an ostentatious fashion were entirely inconsistent with his lifestyle; not to mention other instances of extravagance.


    Chu Ge was unclear about what happened on Mu Bingtong’s side, but if she was unwilling to tell, Chu Ge was also unsure why she had toe to Capital City to find him.


    “Let me be straightforward then, someone’s messing with mypany; he has his motives, but at present, I don’t know who he is.”


    Mu Bingtong’s tone was somewhat helpless, which made Chu Ge, who was merely intending to convey his attitude to Mu Bingtong, slowly walk back to his seat, supported himself on the chair back, smiled quietly, “I want to know, exactly who?”


    There’s only a handful of entities capable of impacting Mu Bingtong’spany, and strictly speaking, Chu Ge wasn’t sure who seemed the most suspicious.


    “Do you have any leads?”


    “Leads? Maybe, but still not certain; also, could you sit down to talk?”


    A slight reproachful nce at Chu Ge hovering over her, Mu Bingtong didn’t know that the person behind it was actually in another private room in the restaurant, where Wei Yu was silently listening to his informant reporting to him.


    Their actions were swift, indeed, even Mu Bingtong had found Chu Ge, and he knew perfectly well; but as for how much influence Chu Ge holds in Capital City, he naturally understood as well.


    Some things can’t be handled with cold hard courage alone.


    Although he had the capability to make Mu Bingtong suffer behind the scenes, it didn’t mean that he had the ability to confront Chu Ge’s entire interest group head-on — had he been able to, naturally, he wouldn’t resort to such childish tricks in the dark to snatch Mu Bingtong’s attention.


    She had always been indifferent to him, if he could make her actively beg him to let her go, what a pleasing scene that would be?


    Unable to resist, he tossed the machine in his hands aside, developing yet anotheryer of thought regarding Chu Ge’s positioning.


    He’s a bastardpeting with him for a woman.


    Such a statement sounded somewhatughable, yet Mu Bingtong first sought him out instead of himself, which gave Wei Yu ample reason to list Chu Ge as hispetitor.


    “Chu Ge… Chu Ge, is it!?”


    Slightly crazed, he stood up from the dining table, abruptly flung open the ninth floor door, quietly observed the corridor where only the waiters’ and attendants’ light but hurried footsteps echoed, and quietly walked to the teahouse tucked at the stairwell corner.


    That’s the restaurant’s specialty, and here, both he and the two who would soon exit the private room could clearly see each other.


    “Chu Ge…”


    The name had long been known to him; in many senses, it was synonymous with negativity, making Wei Yu more displeased with Mu Bingtong opting to find him.


    Clearly, he had been persistently trying to showcase the outward appearance of a sessful gentleman, trying to make this woman believe him, actively approach him; yet she decided to look for the man called Chu Ge?


    Theughter of male-female exchanges abruptly emerged from the side, the two emerging from the room passed by Wei Yu, talking andughing, then suddenly halted as if noticing something.


    “Who’s this? I didn’t expect you, President Wei, to show up here?”


    “Cannot afford the title, there aren’t many people within Capital City whom Chu Ge would call ‘President’, and I naturally am not among them!”


    The smiling face increasingly made Chu Ge feel something was amiss; he didn’t recall having any interactions worthy of this person using such a smile to face him.


    Naturally, he decided to ignore this response, and after a polite smile, he turned to leave, holding Mu Bingtong’s hand.


    “Chu Ge!”


    Unexpectedly, he spoke first, making Chu Ge turn around puzzled, only to see a bizarre smile.


    “Better watch out, the woman beside you, I’ve taken a liking to her.”


    “Oh, I know.” Chu Ge replied indifferently.


    “You’re not worried?”


    “Worried about what? Worried she’ll be taken by you? Haha, but you’re wee to try.”
