Chapter 19: Set a Trap

After saying that, Jiang Shang stuffed another flyer into Brother Haozi's hand.

"Go too."

Brother Haozi looked at the flyer and twitched the corner of his mouth violently.

This landlady was really bold. It wasn't advisable for the boss to learn this...

The two were reluctantly pushed upstairs by Jiang Shang. Before leaving, Gu Siheng casually grabbed a mask.

He was now a hot topic in the Gu family's news. Showing up like this would attract too much attention.

As soon as Gu Siheng stood in front of the training class, he was warmly welcomed by the receptionist.

"Handsome guy, are you interested in signing up for our class? We guarantee your satisfaction. If you're not satisfied, we'll give you a full refund."

The receptionist enthusiastically poured him a glass of water, while Brother Haozi was taken to another reception room.

Gu Siheng let out a soft "hmm". "What's your best course?"

The receptionist didn't answer his question directly. "May I ask if you have a girlfriend? And what kind of conflicts do you have with her?"

Gu Siheng, who had been single for more than twenty years, could only think of Jiang Shang. Inevitably, he thought of the days he had spent with Jiang Shang... and Pei Shangze that day.

The man spoke, his tone carrying an indescribable coolness and a faint hint of sourness.

"She doesn't treat me as special as I'd like, and she's still entangled with her ex."

The receptionist immediately understood what he meant. Thinking that a big fool had come, she showed him the most high - end course on the tablet.

"This is the most effective course in our company. It costs 88,888 yuan. As long as you choose the direction in which you want to transform your girlfriend, we'll customize a tutorial for you one - on - one."

Gu Siheng casually flipped through the content of the course. When he saw the content about "taming the girlfriend" and "inducing self - abuse" at the back, he frowned uncomfortably. The whole page gave him the feeling that women were regarded as commodities and toys.

The receptionist was looking at him hopefully. Thinking of the task assigned to him by his fiancée, Gu Siheng still paid the money and continued to play the role.

The receptionist happily took the order receipt and showed him around the future teaching classroom. Through the glass window, Gu Siheng saw Tang Xuan arguing with a man in a suit in the office. Both of them were red - faced.

Gu Siheng sat in the small classroom. He casually made an excuse to ask for tea to get rid of the receptionist, then silently rushed towards that office.

"Tang Xuan, are you really stupid because of the money? Do you know what the online public opinion will be like if you officially announce your relationship with Lin Jingru?"

The partner was in a panic because of the news spread everywhere by Jiang Shang. He wanted Tang Xuan to stop in time.

Tang Xuan didn't listen to a single word of his. His eyes were full of greed for money.

"Why are you so timid? That woman Lin Jingru is even stupider than Qu Yan. It's easier to squeeze money out of her. You're willing to let the money that's almost in our hands slip away."

Now that the public opinion was flying everywhere, Tang Xuan knew that he wouldn't be able to make money in the business of deceiving girls after this wave. So he was determined not to let go.

The partner was so angry that he smashed the teacup. "If the public opinion leads to us through you, I'll make you pay!"

Seeing that he was really angry, thinking of his share of the profits in the training class, Tang Xuan softened his attitude a little, but his decision remained unchanged.

"Brother Hao, you can temporarily close the training class during this period. I'll transfer my shares to your name first. After we get through this storm, I'll take 60% and you take 40% of the income from Lin Jingru. Then you can transfer the shares back to me. How about that?"

Tang Xuan made the biggest concession in terms of interests. The partner pondered for a while and finally sighed helplessly. He turned around and bowed to the Buddha statue on the table with his hands clasped.

But there was a faint black air lingering around the Buddha statue. A big ghost was hiding in the Buddha statue, laughing and sucking energy.

After recording the whole process, Gu Siheng left successfully. He got back into the car and gave the materials to Jiang Shang.

Jiang Shang browsed through the courses they had obtained. The courses they got were divided into high - end and low - end versions. Gu Siheng's high - end version contained content about mental abuse and controlling girls, while the course in Brother Haozi's hand mostly consisted of PUA rhetoric, focusing on emotional and verbal control.

It could be seen that this training class had developed very maturely. No one knew how many girls had been harmed by it secretly.

Jiang Shang frowned tightly. The more she read, the more obvious the insults to women in the courses became. The flame in her heart was slowly burning.

Brother Haozi was stunned after reading his own course. These people would really do anything for money. What did they take girls for?

He looked up at Gu Siheng, who seemed indifferent to the course, and secretly praised his boss for being a real gentleman who disdained such heresies.

Gu Siheng very considerately handed his phone to Jiang Shang. After she finished reading, he deleted those teaching videos.

Brother Haozi's eyes lit up again. His boss was really a good man.

Jiang Shang's small face was cold. A big plan quickly formed in her mind.

Since Tang Xuan was so greedy for money... then don't blame her for setting a trap.

Jiang Shang turned back and went to the hospital. Unexpectedly, she met an uninvited guest.

Pei Shangze walked towards her with a bouquet of flowers in his arms, his face full of joy.

"Shangshang, I knew you'd be here."

Jiang Shang frowned in confusion and said bluntly, "You've been following me?"

Otherwise, how would Pei Shangze know that she was here?

Pei Shangze, who had been mercilessly exposed, felt a bit embarrassed. He quickly changed the topic. "Shangshang, I'm here to give you the key to the villa."

Jiang Shang glanced at the roses in his hand. She already had the property certificate of the villa. Even without the key, she could pick the lock. Pei Shangze was just using this as an excuse to find her.

She took the key. Without saying a word, she was about to leave when Pei Shangze grabbed her arm.

"Shangshang, I have another thing to tell you—"

Gu Siheng said coldly, "Let go."

Hearing Gu Siheng's words, the flame in Pei Shangze's heart soared. He directly retorted.

"Gu Siheng, you're just a discarded pawn of the Gu family. What business is it of yours? Get out of the way."

Just thinking that Jiang Shang had been taken away by such a person made him angry.

"If you continue to harass my fiancée, even a dying camel is bigger than a horse. I can still fight against the Pei family."

Gu Siheng warned him calmly. Pei Shangze sneered.

"Who are you trying to scare? You?"

He didn't take Gu Siheng, who had lost the support of the Gu family, seriously at all. Pei Shangze took out a bank card attentively.

"Shangshang, this is your share of the dividends from my company this quarter."

Jiang Shang stared at the bank card and thought carefully. Finally, she remembered that the original owner did have 8% of the shares in Pei Shangze's company.

She had even forgotten about this.

Since it was something the original owner deserved, Jiang Shang had no reason not to accept it.

Watching Jiang Shang follow Pei Shangze to the stairwell to talk privately, a layer of ice gradually covered Gu Siheng's dark eyes.

"Shangshang, my company is increasing its capital and expanding its shares recently. I wonder if you're interested in investing and increasing your share?"

If Jiang Shang increased her shares in his company, it would mean that their interests would be more closely intertwined, and it would be more difficult for Jiang Shang to cut off all relations with him.

The dividends he brought today were his greatest sincerity.

Jiang Shang pondered for a while and perfunctorily said that she would consider it for a few days. She didn't agree to him immediately.

When she came back from the stairwell, Qu Yan was standing at the door of the ward, staring intently at the bunch of villa keys in her hand and asking who gave them to her.

Jiang Shang told the truth.

Qu Yan looked at her with a complicated look in her eyes and said something that made people shudder.

"That's a haunted house occupied by a female ghost. That female ghost is extremely ferocious. If you take her house, she'll gather little ghosts and devour you alive."
