Shi Xiaodong in the camera looked the same as usual, calm and composed, and there was no trace of pride on his face at becoming the new chairman.
Shen Antu took a sip of the hot tea that had just been poured, and the steaming heat blurred the image on the screen.
Everything went as planned, Shen Antu turned off the video surveillance.
The news of Jinsheng's new chairman taking office was on the headlines for the whole afternoon. Since the afternoon, Shen Antu could not contact Simon and Yu Keyan, but this was also part of the plan, so Shen Antu was not worried.
Soaking comfortably in the hot spring, Shen Antu could imagine Shi Xiaodong's angry face, but all this had nothing to do with him anymore. If the plan went well, Shen Lin would disappear from the world forever, and from now on there would only be Shen Antu.
Chapter 52: Avoid Everything Named Xie
Finally, we have a frontal shot of Simon's secretary. He is also an important tool. It's time to reveal his secrets and expose his identity (is it considered an exposure?). Our Shen Anan is about to take off her mask.
It was 4:15 in the afternoon of the next day when Shen Antu received another call from Simon. He was choosing a ring in a jewelry store.
He knew Xie Duo had prepared a wedding ring, and he also saw the real thing - a nearly five-carat diamond ring. Shen Antu was so dazzled that he expressed his excitement and joy, but he didn't dare to say that this thing took up space and was not practical. Later, when he asked, he found out that it was Zhou Minghui's suggestion: if you love him, buy him the biggest, most expensive and best one.
Shen Antu first crossed Zhou Minghui's name off the wedding guest list, and then decided to go out and pick a reliable one himself.
In order to see the quality of the ring, Shen Antu took off his sunglasses. He chose a platinum ring inlaid with diamonds, but he was not satisfied with the style.
"Sir, how about this one?" The waitress took out another platinum diamond ring and said, "This pair of rings is the best-selling one, especially for women. Many ladies like this style."
Shen Antu glanced at her, and his peach blossom eyes above the mask curved slightly: "Sorry, I don't need a female ring. My marriage partner is also a man."
The waitress was stunned for a moment, then immediately smiled and said, "Best wishes to you, if you are not satisfied with the ones on the counter, we have another one in our store, which was newly arrived this morning. Maybe you will be satisfied with it. Please wait for a moment."
Shen Antu nodded and thanked him, then sat on a high stool and waited. He looked at the rings on the counter boredly, and suddenly noticed that a waitress opposite him was staring at him. When Shen Antu's eyes swept over her, she lowered her head to look at her mobile phone.
Shen Antu had often encountered this situation in the past, and he didn't think it was a big deal. Just then, the phone that was in contact with Simon vibrated, and Shen Antu answered it naturally: "You finally have time to call me? What's going on?"
"Where are you now?" Simon's voice was low, with some ominous suggestion.
Shen Antu simply replied: "Go shopping."
"Andrew, you must leave the mall immediately, whether it is Jinsheng or Ruiqian's territory, you must leave immediately and try to avoid surveillance. You should wear a mask, right? Don't let anyone see you."
Shen Antu noticed from the corner of his eye that the waiter opposite was still looking at him, holding his cell phone as if comparing something. He felt a pang in his heart, picked up his sunglasses and walked towards the door of the jewelry store.
The waitress who came to pick up the ring came back and shouted at Shen Antu's back, "Sir, don't you want to see the ring?"
Shen Antu ignored him. He strode out of the jewelry store and walked forward without stopping. Xie Duo's car was parked two hundred meters ahead.
"If you booked a room in Yu Shui under Xie Duo's name, then I suggest you give up that place, including Xie Duo's villa. If you drove his car out, then don't even think about driving back. Throw away all the electronic products he gave you, and from now on avoid anything with the surname Xie."
Hearing Simon's words, Shen Antu turned around and walked away from the business district. He lowered his voice and said, "What's going on? Even if Shi Xiaodong calls the police, it won't affect Xie Duo. Why should I draw a line between myself and him?"
Simon paused for a second, and the voice coming from the microphone was a little distorted: "Because Xie Duo was attacked by gunmen in Country B this morning. If I'm not mistaken, it should be Shi Xiaodong who did it, but the Xie family seems to think... This is your arrangement."
Shen Antu suddenly stopped and a buzzing sound suddenly appeared in his head. The buzzing sound drowned out the honking of cars and the curses of pedestrians around him. At this moment, he was unable to think or move, and his soul was disconnected from his body.
"The police, the Xie family, and Shi Xiaodong are all tracking down your whereabouts. Tell me your location, keep talking, I'll pick you up now..."
Shen Antu heard himself asking, "How is he... now?" The voice was as stiff as an electronic mechanical sound.
"Are you asking Xie Duo? I don't know, I just know that a bodyguard died." Simon spoke faster, "Tell me the location, Andrew, it's still very noisy over there, are you still on the road?"
Suddenly, a melodious ringtone came from his pocket. It was the phone that Xie Duo gave him. Shen Antu was worried that he would miss Xie Duo's call on the road, so he turned up the ringtone. But now, an unfamiliar number was displayed on the phone screen, and neither Xie Duo nor Xie Wenxuan called him or sent him a message.
