Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 902 - 901: An Unexpected Meeting Place

Looking at Su Wei's troubled expression, Chu Ge smiled helplessly."Director Su, since you're so honest with me, I won't beat around the bush either. I know you're in a difficult position right now. I'm bringing this up not to cause you trouble. Although I'm quite disappointed, if there's no right opportunity, I won't go to see Li Zheming for now."

Su Wei secretly breathed a sigh of relief and looked slightly relieved, "Well... I hope you understand. However, since you brought this up, you must have your plans, right?"

Chu Ge nodded, "That's right. What I find inconvenient, Director Su finds much easier. So, I'd like to exchange some interrogation experience with you."

Yesterday, after interacting with Su Wei for a while and considering the evaluation from Lin Gaoze about him, it's clear that this Su Wei can be somewhat trusted. Although Chu Ge would prefer to pry open Li Zheming's mouth himself, under the current inconvenient conditions, he could only opt for a less ideal alternative.

"Okay."

Su Wei smiled and agreed readily, but inwardly, he was quite dismissive.

Indeed, he had heard a lot about Chu Ge, and in many areas, he did see Chu Ge in a new light, but when it came to interrogation...

A twenty-something kid talking to him, a professional, about this? Isn't that a joke? To put it bluntly, it's like showing off your skills in front of an expert.

Su Wei thought this and started the exchange with Chu Ge. However, as the conversation about "interrogation" just began, he was stunned to find that this young guy seemed to really have some skills.

After one minute, Su Wei focused all his attention and unconsciously sat up straight.

After two minutes, Su Wei took out paper and pen, occasionally making notes.

After five minutes, Su Wei looked like a serious student in class. The two-way exchange turned into a one-sided listen, as he jotted down notes rapidly.

After ten minutes, they ended the topic.

Looking at the notes he had taken, Su Wei suddenly felt the room's temperature drop by ten degrees. He felt a chill from within, while the guy opposite him, who was talking and laughing, seemed like a devil with two sharp horns hidden on his head.

Ruthless... too ruthless, the methods Chu Ge mentioned were startling, just thinking about them seemed terrifying. Where did this guy learn these tactics?

Though Su Wei thought their methods were already harsh enough, compared to what Chu Ge said, theirs seemed rather childish.

Su Wei suddenly felt a bit sympathetic towards Li Zheming. How did that kid manage to withstand Chu Ge's treatment for half an hour last night?

"Brother Chu, forgive me for asking, but have you had any professional training in this area?"

"Haha, no, I just figured it out myself, making a fool of myself in front of Director Su."

Although Su Wei was filled with disbelief, since Chu Ge didn't want to explain, he didn't press further. They chatted about other things while waiting for Guo Qiang to return. During this time, Chu Ge gave Su Wei some shopping cards from RT-Mart. Su Wei declined for a long while, but in the end, he couldn't refuse Chu Ge and accepted them.

Intentionally or unintentionally, Chu Ge mentioned a few times about Mad Dog Gang, whom he had met in jail yesterday. Su Wei got the hint and would make sure he'd be "taken care of" in the following days.

"Knock, knock"

Two knocks sounded at the door. Su Wei said "come in," and Guo Qiang walked in with a pained expression.

Chu Ge glanced at Guo Qiang with a playful smirk, "Brother Qiang, that was quick?"

Guo Qiang cursed silently, but on the surface, he forced a bitter smile and handed an envelope to Chu Ge, "Eight thousand yuan for goods, would you like to count it?"

Chu Ge cheerfully accepted the envelope, shook his head, and said, "No need, I trust you have that bit of integrity. After all, it's not a one-off deal. I'll come back next month with more goods, right?"

Guo Qiang was dumbfounded, his mind buzzing, almost doubting his own ears. After a couple of seconds, he stammered, "Next, next month more goods?"

Chu Ge beamed with a natural expression, "Yes, Brother Qiang's business is doing so well, this amount surely isn't enough, right? See you next month then?"

Guo Qiang's legs almost gave way, nearly collapsing to the ground. From what this guy implied, he was being pushed into a corner, wasn't he?

"No, big brother, you can't do this, I, I really made a mistake."

Chu Ge smiled faintly, saying nothing.

In despair, Guo Qiang quickly turned to Su Wei, almost in tears, but unfortunately, Su Wei blatantly avoided eye contact, clearly indicating that he had to figure things out himself.

"Slap"

Guo Qiang shifted his gaze back to Chu Ge and immediately slapped himself hard, "This brother, I failed to recognize your eminence, please be forgiving..."

"Director Su, I'll leave you to it, I have some matters to attend to, so I won't disturb you any longer."

Guo Qiang hadn't even finished speaking when Chu Ge got up from the sofa, smiled slightly at Su Wei, cutting off Guo Qiang's words.

Su Wei came over and shook hands with Chu Ge, "Then I won't see you off, take care."

As they spoke, Su Wei exchanged a glance with Chu Ge and glanced at Guo Qiang, who was at a loss beside them, meaning perhaps it was enough. No need to push someone to the brink, right?

Chu Ge smiled faintly, giving Su Wei a reassuring look, meaning he knew what he was doing.

Su Wei couldn't say much more, even though he didn't really know what Chu Ge was thinking.

Their hands unclasped, and Chu Ge turned and walked towards the door, despite the bitterness on Guo Qiang's face and even as a crisp slap sound and Guo Qiang's pleading voice echoed behind him, Chu Ge ignored it, opening the door and walking out.

In truth, Chu Ge was not desperate for the 8,000 yuan, nor did he plan to continue troubling Guo Qiang. His ambiguous attitude was merely to make Guo Qiang's days a bit more agonizing.

After leaving the detention center, Chu Ge headed to Tianqing Company to chat with Tong Yaqi about Mu Xiaoting's situation. Of course, the main topic was finding a legitimate reason that would convince Mu Xiaoting to willingly leave the company.

At noon, Chu Ge and Tong Yaqi had lunch together. Around one o'clock, he finally received the call he had been waiting for from the mysterious Mr. Chu.

As previously agreed, this Mr. Chu extended an invitation for a meeting to Chu Ge.

What surprised Chu Ge was that the meeting place was at Yipin Spring City District, downstairs from the apartment he used to rent.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Ge tapped his fingers on the table and slightly furrowed his brow.

Why did Mr. Chu choose this place for the meeting? Could it be that he had investigated me in private?

Hmm? Wait a minute?

As Chu Ge pondered, he suddenly realized a problem he had previously overlooked.

Chu Shiyao used to work at the Lidu City First People's Hospital, and both times he met this Mr. Chu, who showed inexplicable interest in him, it was at this hospital.

If this was a coincidence, then even more coincidentally, not only did he live in the building at Yipin Spring City before, but Chu Shiyao also lived there.

Could it be... is there some connection between Mr. Chu and Chu Shiyao?

As Chu Ge mulled over it, he was still filled with doubts because even if there was some relationship between Mr. Chu and Chu Shiyao, it seemed irrelevant to him, right?

After all, Chu Shiyao was just a neighbor he got along well with. Even if she suddenly vanished, at most, he would occasionally think of her, but he never really dwelled on it.

Thinking back and forth, Chu Ge still couldn't make sense of it. He considered calling Dean Hu Tai'en to simply inquire, but halfway through dialing, he abandoned the idea.

After all, if he was about to meet Mr. Chu, anything he was allowed to know would naturally be revealed to him. If it was something Mr. Chu didn't want him to know, asking Hu Tai'en would undoubtedly be futile.

Putting away the phone, Chu Ge decided to temporarily set aside these doubts, focusing on driving back to Yipin Spring City, under the building where he used to live.

When Chu Ge arrived, Mr. Chu was already waiting for him at the entrance of the unit. There were no vehicles nearby; it seemed he had been waiting for a while.

Getting out of the car, Chu Ge walked towards Mr. Chu while glancing around, noticing nothing suspicious in the surroundings.

As Chu Ge approached, Chu Chengrui, beaming kindly, greeted first, "You're here?"

Chu Ge nodded, "Mr. Chu."

"Haha, you didn't expect me to choose such a place to meet, did you?"

Chu Ge smiled faintly, "Indeed, I didn't expect it."

"Let's go upstairs and talk."

With a cheerful smile, Chu Chengrui walked towards the elevator. Chu Ge didn't ask any more questions and simply followed. Once inside the elevator, he saw Chu Chengrui press the button for the eleventh floor, reinforcing Chu Ge's suspicions.

As the elevator ascended, neither spoke. When they reached the eleventh floor and exited, Chu Ge saw Chu Chengrui take out a key and head towards room 112, which Chu Shiyao had rented.

Seeing this, Chu Ge quietly thought to himself, "Just as expected," but remained silent, simply standing quietly on the side.

Twisting the key, the door clicked open, and Chu Chengrui glanced back at Chu Ge, "Young Chu, you don't seem surprised at all. Did you guess it earlier?"

Chu Ge smiled faintly, "Not that early, only when you mentioned meeting here did I start to suspect."

"Haha, come in."

Chu Chengrui entered the room, with Chu Ge immediately following. Inside, it hadn't changed much since when Chu Shiyao was there—tidy and clean, with everything neatly arranged.

However, the room almost no longer retained the scent of Chu Shiyao, and Chu Ge could clearly see traces of recent cleaning.
