Chapter 157: Threats

Moreover, she was pretty. She matched Zhou Hongwei's taste. With that in mind, Zhou Tanxiong said, "This is my Hongwei's girlfriend. They are getting together. Do you need to call the police for that?"

However, once he said that the expressions of everyone present changed, especially Zhou Hongwei. He hadn't notified his uncle earlier, and it had caused a huge mistake. Xiao Lingyu worked with Gu Ziye, so they had to know each other. Gu Ziye would know if Xiao Lingyu was Zhou Hongwei's girlfriend.

'Wait. But I can go with this!' Zhou Hongwei suddenly had a flash of inspiration. He nodded and said, "That's right. She had just agreed to be my girlfriend." Then, he looked at Xiao Lingyu and said, "Lingyu, you said you'd bring me to visit your brother. So you can't go back on your words." Zhou Hongwei turned to Zhou Tanxiong and said kindly, "Uncle, you may not know this, but Lingyu's younger brother, Xiao Lingye, is very good at his studies. He is the top student at No One High School. He is the best student in the entire county in the latest mock exam. He'll definitely get into a good university... assuming nothing happens to him."

Xiao Lingyu's sharp eyes flashed.

'This Zhou Hongwei is disgusting. Even now, he is using Ye 'Er to threaten me. If I don't cooperate, Ye 'Er will be in danger.'

Zhou Tanxiong knew his nephew well. He caught the hint immediately. He had said something wrong earlier.

If only Jiang Tao weren't here...

Zhou Tanxiong knew Jiang Tao very well. He was cold-hearted and impartial. He would never tolerate evil and bad deeds. If he started to doubt Zhou Hongwei, he would look into his past. Once his past deeds were dug up, it would be a huge problem. Therefore, the most important goal was to dispel Jiang Tao's doubt. He needed to make Jiang Tao believe that Gu Ziye was using them to come after Zhou Hongwei.

After hearing his nephew, he knew Xiao Lingyu's cooperation was extremely crucial. He smiled sinisterly, "Is that so? That's wonderful news." Then, he turned to Xiao Lingyu, "Lingyu, next time, you should bring your little brother along. Let us see the future top scorer."

Gu Ziye's pupils contracted. He cursed in his heart, 'How shameless is this pair of uncle and nephew? They are threatening Lingyu with Lingye!'

But, Gu Ziye was not worried. He was smiling instead. Other women might be threatened by them, but did they forget who they were dealing with?

This was someone who knew the police chief and managed to draw out the gentleness from him.

Zhou Tanxiong and Zhou Hongwei's plan was doomed.

"Lingyu, when did you agree to be his girlfriend?" Jiang Tao was anxious. When he heard Xiao Lingyu agreed to be someone else's girlfriend, his brain was blank, and his heart was a mess. Naturally, he didn't spot the loopholes.

Gu Ziye wanted to roll his eyes. 'I have no idea Chief Jiang can be so flustered. Hello! Is that the point here?'

However, Gu Ziye grinned when he noticed the expressions on Zhou Tanxiong and Zhou Hongwei's faces. Gu Ziye couldn't deal with Zhou Hongwei because he had Zhou Tanxiong supporting him. However, they didn't expect that Jiang Tao and Xiao Lingyu actually knew each other. More importantly, Chief Jiang was also interested in Xiao Lingyu. Zhou Hongwei had openly claimed Xiao Lingyu as his girlfriend, which wouldn't put him in Jiang Tao's good book.

When Zhou Tanxiong threatened Xiao Lingyu with her younger brother, she was furious. The young one was shameless, and the old one was worse.

'They want to threaten me? Two can play at that game!'

Seeing the sinister smile on Xiao Lingyu's face, Zhou Hongwei immediately felt that something was wrong.

Then, he heard Xiao Lingyu say to Jiang Tao, "Chief Jiang, you've misunderstood. I was forcibly dragged here by the two of them, and I'm not Boss Zhou's girlfriend."
