I Was Stuck on the Same Day For a Thousand Years

Chapter 276: There is something, but it’s a pity…

Zhuang Xiaodie was serving soup to Wu Chen. As soon as Wu Chen took the soup bowl, he heard Lei Cheng say “Mr. Ding”, and his hand paused. Turning to look at Lei Cheng, he naturally placed the soup bowl in front of him.

The restaurant suddenly became very quiet. Lei Cheng was the owner. When he answered the phone, no one would say anything easily.

Hu Xilin was also there. He heard Lei Cheng say “Master Ding” and paused when she picked up the chopsticks. She glanced at Wu Chen and then at Lei Cheng.

“Boss Lei, are you free tomorrow afternoon? Is it convenient for us to talk?” Ding Ruilong’s voice sounded on the phone.

“I do have time, why… Mr. Ding will arrive in Donghai tomorrow?” Lei Cheng said into the phone. As he spoke, he glanced at Wu Chen and exchanged glances with Wu Chen.

“Yes, I’ll arrive tomorrow. If it’s convenient for Boss Lei, let’s make an appointment,” Ding Ruilong said.

“Is this necessary?” Lei Cheng replied, “Master Ding, since you have already asked Lei You, there is no need to come and talk to me, right?”

“Hahaha, what did Boss Lei say?” Ding Ruilong laughed, “You are you, and your brother is your brother. I have also heard about the grievances between you and your eldest brother. As an outsider, I can’t say anything, but… If Boss Lei is interested, I can talk to you. Maybe I can even help you, Boss Lei.”

Ding Ruilong’s words were full of hints.

“What do you mean?” Lei Cheng asked.

“Boss Lei, you should understand that we are not enemies, and your brother and I have no friendship. If you can help me, I can help you… How about we meet and talk?” Ding Ruilong did not sound arrogant.

He was very good at talking!

He directly created a big pie for Lei Cheng!

He even had the same idea as Wu Chen, using the matter between Lei Cheng and Lei You to build a close relationship with Lei Cheng.

Normally, if Lei Cheng didn’t know Wu Chen, he would definitely be very moved! It would be a good idea to establish a good relationship with Ding Ruilong and use the power of the Ding family!

It’s a pity that Wu Chen made the first move.

“Master Ding, from what you say, you seem to know something.” Lei Cheng thought, “What happened ten years ago, how can you help me?”

Lei Cheng’s asking this already showed his heart.

Of course, it was performed for Ding Ruilong, and it was based on Ding Ruilong’s words.

“What happened ten years ago, doesn’t it matter?” Ding Ruilong said with a smile, “What matters is that now, your father only has two sons. As long as one of them has an accident, the other will be the sole heir. Let’s meet and discuss the details. It’s hard to explain on the phone…”

Lei Cheng’s face changed slightly.

An accident? Death of one person? A sole heir?

This matter should have greatly attracted Lei Cheng. This was what Lei You did back then. To him…

But!

Because Wu Chen made the first move, Lei Cheng couldn’t stand on Ding Ruilong’s side!

So Lei Cheng’s current mood was not that he was moved, but that he was more fearful and defensive towards Ding Ruilong…

Could Ding Ruilong be like this with Lei Cheng? Naturally, he could have said the same to Lei You.

Lei Cheng was silent.

He seemed to be thinking, but in fact, he looked at Wu Chen and exchanged glances. He didn’t know whether Wu Chen could hear the voice on the phone clearly.

The restaurant was very large. It was a large independent room. The dining table was a long Western-style table. Lei Cheng and Wu Chen were not sitting next to each other.

In this quiet situation, except for Lei Cheng, others could only hear a faint sound.

“Let’s meet…” Lei Cheng muttered, but his eyes were on Wu Chen. This sentence was meant for Wu Chen.

Wu Chen nodded to Lei Cheng.

“…Okay then, when will you arrive tomorrow afternoon?” Lei Cheng seemed to have figured it out and asked.

“After two o’clock tomorrow afternoon. You can decide the time and place, but please keep it confidential,” Ding Ruilong said.

“Then…” Lei Cheng thought and told Ding Ruilong the exact time and meeting place.

After saying a few more words, he hung up.

He had to admit that Ding Ruilong is very talented!

He could tell that he called Lei You and then Lei Cheng at this time on purpose!

He let Lei Cheng know that he had called both brothers, and he revealed that he was not familiar with Lei You.

It would give Lei Cheng the feeling that he would stand in line to help anyone who helped him.

This not only gave Lei Cheng a kind of expectation, but also put psychological pressure on Lei Cheng… If he didn’t win over Ding Ruilong, Ding Ruilong would go to help his elder brother!

In addition, Lei You was also putting pressure on Lei Cheng… If Lei Cheng was a smart man , he should know what to do.

In addition, Ding Ruilong also had the advantage of doing this, which was to prevent Lei Cheng from tipping off Li Ruobing!

Now that it involved Lei Cheng’s family affairs, Lei Cheng would not tell Li Ruobing the details of his secret meeting with Ding Ruibing in advance.

Ding Ruilong was really smart!

It’s a pity…

Lei Cheng put down the phone and looked at Wu Chen.

“Let’s eat first,” Wu Chen said with a smile.

“Eat, eat.” Lei Cheng also smiled and instructed Tao Manying, “Dabao, pass the wine to me, I’ll open it…”

There were several bottles of 2000 Romanee-Conti on the table.

He opened the wine.

They had a meal and small talk.

Wu Chen didn’t take the initiative to ask about Ding Ruilong. Lei Cheng knew that Wu Chen didn’t want to talk about it at the dinner table, so he didn’t take the initiative to talk about it and talked about other things.

What Lei Cheng didn’t know was that Wu Chen had actually known for a long time that Ding Ruilong would call him tonight.

Wu Chen even knew in advance the specific content of the conversation between the two!

There was no need to ask. He knew everything!

Because on the previous “July 20”, all of this had happened!

Although Wu Chen had not met Lei Cheng “before”, he had met Lei Cheng through several meetings. After another phone call, Lei Cheng called Wu Chen once in the evening and told Wu Chen.

Ding Ruilong called him again and told Wu Chen the situation in detail…

But the difference was that on the previous “July 20”, Lei Cheng didn’t make an appointment with Ding Ruilong on the time and place to meet, so he didn’t want to see Ding Ruilong, which was very annoying!

But this time he made an appointment, because Wu Chen was present when he answered the phone this time, and Wu Chen signaled Lei Cheng to agree!

The meal lasted for more than an hour…

During the dinner, through small talk, Hu Xilin learned that Zhuang Xiaodie was Wu Chen’s woman, and he had no special emotions about it.

He didn’t care and didn’t think much about it. All he could think about was his wife cheating on him.

The meal was in a good atmosphere, and Lei Cheng also mentioned that Tao Manying would have the opportunity to cooperate with Zhuang Xiaodie in the future.

None of them drank too much and were only slightly tipsy, except for Hu Xilin.

He had something on his mind and drank too much. By eight o’clock in the evening, he was so drunk that he laid motionless on the table.

At about half past eight, dinner ended.

Wu Chen went to the study on the second floor because of Lei Cheng, drank tea to sober up, and had a secret conversation about Ding Ruilong. As for the drunk Hu Xilin… Lei Cheng asked Hu Xilin’s driver and bodyguard to enter the villa and take him home.

Around nine o’clock in the evening, Wu Chen and Lei Cheng had almost finished talking and agreed on everything.

Lei Cheng originally wanted Wu Chen and Zhuang Xiaodie to stay overnight. Naturally there was room for such a big villa, but Wu Chen said he had something else to do and didn’t agree, and Lei Cheng didn’t force it.

They went downstairs.

Wu Chen called Zhuang Xiaodie, who was chatting with Tao Manying.

Then, they went.

Wu Chen was driving drunk, but with his inhuman mental level, even if he drank too much, it wouldn’t have much impact, more so that he didn’t drink too much.

More than half an hour later, at around 10:10 p.m…

Fukang Road, Nancheng District, this place belonged  to the old city and was very close to the Bar Street in Nancheng District. However, at this time, compared to the bright neon and bustle of the Bar Street, Fukang Road was very deserted.

There were few cars on the street and not even a single person could be seen.

This was a back street.

Wu Chen parked the car on the side of the road and looked at the entrance of the alley diagonally from them.

“Mr. Wu… aren’t we going home?” Zhuang Xiaodie turned to look at Wu Chen and couldn’t help but ask.

Zhuang Xiaodie was not familiar with the roads of Donghai and didn’t know where they were. She didn’t know why Wu Chen stopped here.

Shh!

Wu Chen raised his finger and gestured to Zhuang Xiaodie to keep quiet.

Zhuang Xiaodie obediently remained silent.

Wu Chen looked at his watch again and confirmed the time.

silence.

One minute later…

“Ah! Help! Come here! Help!!” A woman’s scream suddenly sounded in the alley.
