Reborn through an arranged marriage, I awakened the Shennong farming system.
Chapter 71 Partnership Conspiracy
Seeing Su Yangxia's reputation soaring in the Su family, Su Chengjun was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan.
But there was still no news from Su Mo, and Su Chengjun didn't know what to do. Just then, news finally came from the investigation Su Chengjun had asked someone to find out who had invested in Fu Fei before him.
"Say it again?! Who exactly invested in Fu Fei?!" Su Chengjun wondered if he was hallucinating, otherwise how could he have heard Su Bai's name from the investigator?
Investigators often encounter this situation when reporting to guests, so after hearing Su Chengjun's words, he didn't even change his tone and just read what he had just said again: "The person who invested in Fu Fei is named Su Bai, and he just transferred the first payment two days ago."
'Bang!' Su Chengjun smashed the phone on the ground. The phone, which he had only replaced a few days ago, was dead again.
How could it be Su Bai? Why would it be Su Bai?
The investigator, hearing the static coming from the phone, quickly put it away. He couldn't understand why Su Chengjun was so angry! Su Bai sounded like a member of the Su family too. Since they were all members of the Su family, what difference did it make who invested? In the end, wouldn't the Su family be the one to benefit?
Outsiders would naturally think that way, but Su Chengjun, who was in the situation, would not think that way!
He always thought that Su Yangxia was his only enemy in getting the Su family and becoming the president of the Su Group. Su Bai lost the right to be his competitor the moment she chose to marry him. But it was Su Bai, whom he had not taken seriously, who actually beat him to it!
Su Chengjun was even angrier than when he learned that Su Yangxia had secured several projects on her own, because Su Bai had not only caught him off guard, but had also quietly stolen his trump card.
This is tantamount to cutting off Su Chengjun's path forward, making him far more annoying than Su Yangxia, who is blocking his way!
"Su! Bai!" Su Chengjun gritted his teeth as he uttered the name, wishing he could chew Su Bai up and swallow him whole.
Wasn't what happened before already over? He apologized, paid the compensation he was owed, and was removed from his manager position. There shouldn't be any conflict between him and Su Bai anymore, so why is Su Bai treating him like this!
Su Chengjun never imagined he had misjudged Su Bai! He shouldn't have let his guard down after learning of the arranged marriage. Su Chengjun never expected Su Bai to be such a petty, scheming, and treacherous person, saying one thing and doing another.
People often make irrational decisions when they are angry. For example, Su Chengjun is now eager to kill Su Bai so that he can no longer use underhanded tricks. The only partner he can think of is Su Mo, who covets Hua Gengchen and regards Su Bai as a competitor.
Having learned from his previous experience of smashing his phone, Su Chengjun had written Su Mo's phone number on a sticky note and stuck it next to the landline, so even if his phone were to die, he could still call Su Mo.
"Hello? Who is it?"
"It's me!" Su Chengjun didn't want to waste words and went straight to the point: "I want to kill Su Bai. Do you want to cooperate?"
Su Mo answered the call casually, since it was a landline number, which usually meant it was an advertisement or sales call. Unexpectedly, Su Chengjun's voice came from the other end of the line, and he said something that really interested her.
Su Mo immediately sat up straight, raised her hand to stop the person who was working hard on her, and also silenced everyone else in the private room, turning off the music as well. Her eyes gleamed as she said, "Third Brother, do you have a plan? I can cooperate unconditionally!"
"Not yet, but I want Su Bai dead, the sooner the better!" Su Chengjun said hurriedly. He was all alone and powerless. Su Yangxia had Su Shengrong as her backer, and Su Bai had Hua Gengchen as his backer. If he didn't find an accomplice quickly, when would he be able to sit in the position of president of Su Corporation?
Although Su Mo is not a good collaborator in many ways, she has two qualities that others cannot match. First, Su Mo is a woman, and women always have some unexpected effects when facing men. Second, Su Mo is ruthless enough, which Su Chengjun has already witnessed firsthand at Su Shengrong's birthday banquet.
“Come to room 1888 at the XX Club, let’s have a proper talk.” A glint of light flashed in Su Mo’s eyes. Regardless of Su Chengjun’s motives, their goals were now aligned, so Su Mo wouldn’t think too much about it. After all, she had been after Hua Gengchen from beginning to end, while Su Chengjun certainly wasn’t.
"Okay!" Su Chengjun agreed without hesitation. After hanging up the phone, Su Chengjun picked up the shattered phone from the ground, took out the SIM card, threw the remains of the phone into the trash can, and then left without looking back.
Su Mo looked at the phone that had been hung up, her eyes crinkling with a smile. However, the smile on Su Mo's face displeased the person lying on top of her, who, as if in a huff, kissed Su Mo's neck several times while his hands continued their work.
"Haha." Su Mo was in a very good mood and indulged him in everything he did. Seeing this, the others in the room resumed their previous lively and happy atmosphere, striving to serve Su Mo, this generous young lady, well.
Upon arriving at room 1888 of the XX Club, all the male escorts who had been with Su Mo earlier had been dismissed, leaving behind a mess on the floor.
"Are you playing like this? Aren't you afraid that Young Master Gu will find out?" Su Chengjun knew what had just happened as soon as he entered the room. He couldn't help but frown. Young Master Gu was still very useful to him. He didn't want this trump card to be ruined if the other trump card was ruined.
"Hehe," Su Mo chuckled twice, raised her hand to put on the bra strap that was about to fall off her shoulder, and sat on the sofa at the innermost part of the sofa with her legs crossed. "So what if they found out? Do you think I still care now?" Su Mo's only prey right now is Hua Gengchen. Young Master Gu is just a backup that can be discarded at any time.
Su Chengjun could hardly bear to look at the ambiguous marks on Su Mo's body. He looked around and found a relatively clean place to sit down. "You should be more careful. If this gets out of hand, Dad won't let you off the hook."
"Of course I know that!" Su Mo rolled her eyes. She didn't know what was wrong with Young Master Gu. He was known for his womanizing ways and was never short of women. You could see his scandalous news in the entertainment newspapers almost every day. But towards her, his fiancée, he only showed affection to her in a respectful manner. Even if she offered herself to him, Young Master Gu would only give her a kiss and that would be it. Su Mo used to be very angry about this, thinking that Young Master Gu didn't take her seriously. But ever since she took a liking to Hua Gengchen, Su Mo was actually very grateful for Young Master Gu's respectful behavior towards her.
"Third Brother, Young Master Gu said he can meet with you after returning to China." It was rare for Su Chengjun to change his mind, so Su Mo gave him a timely boost of confidence. "However, whether it will work out or not depends on you."
She had accidentally upset Young Master Gu, so she had to act like a demure young lady for several days, cooking and cleaning, and even making soup and serving him meals every day, before finally gaining his trust and letting bygones be bygones.
Su Mo also found an opportunity to mention that Su Chengjun wanted to see him, and since Su Mo had been behaving well these past few days, Young Master Gu readily agreed. Finally, having resolved Su Chengjun's matter, Su Mo breathed a sigh of relief. Just then, Young Master Gu was about to go on a business trip abroad, giving Su Mo some time to relax. Unexpectedly, she heard some very exciting good news.
"Really? When?" Su Chengjun leaned closer to Su Mo anxiously. Why didn't Su Mo tell him about something so important sooner?
Su Mo glanced at Su Chengjun, a slight smile playing on her lips. "No rush, Young Master Gu won't be back for a few more days! Before that, shouldn't we discuss how to get rid of Su Bai?"
Su Chengjun's smile faltered. He pulled himself back, leaned against the sofa, and looked at Su Mo with a deep gaze. "Fourth Sister, you don't believe me?"
"Why do you say that, Third Brother? Getting rid of Su Bai shouldn't take long. Don't you want to have your cake and eat it too?" Su Mo said seductively. She wasn't the only one who wanted to get rid of Su Bai. Su Mo wouldn't be foolish enough to take all the risks herself.
Su Chengjun thought for a moment, "I don't know much about Su Bai's whereabouts after she got married. I need to find someone to investigate first." Meeting Su Mo's eyes, Su Chengjun explained, "Getting rid of Su Bai is easy, but the Hua family behind Su Bai is not to be trifled with. Fourth Sister doesn't want to be caught red-handed, does she?"
Su Chengjun was ambitious and wouldn't easily do anything detrimental to himself, especially after his impulsive act last time. He was practically on the edge of a cliff, one wrong step and he would fall to his death. Su Chengjun had to be extremely careful.
"Of course!" Su Mo's ultimate goal was to marry Hua Gengchen, so how could she allow herself to be suspected of killing Su Bai?
“Then we’ve reached a consensus. Let’s first investigate Su Bai’s whereabouts and then see if there’s any opportunity to make a move,” Su Chengjun said. “At the same time, we also need to find someone to take action, since...neither you nor I are the kind of people who would do it ourselves.”
Su Mo tacitly agreed with Su Chengjun's words. Killing Su Bai would not dirty her or Su Chengjun's hands, so hiring someone to kill him was the best way.
"I'll leave the investigation of Su Bai's whereabouts to Third Brother. As for finding someone to take action..." Su Mo thought of someone who might be useful.
Su Chengjun sensed from Su Mo's pause that Su Mo must have been planning to take action against Su Bai for a long time, which gave him more confidence in getting rid of Su Bai. "Then it's agreed that we'll each pay half of the money."
“No problem!” Su Mo readily agreed.
"Then it's a pleasure to cooperate!" Su Chengjun couldn't find a clean glass, so he could only take an unopened beer bottle from the side and use a bottle opener to open the cap.
Seeing this, Su Mo picked up the wine glass that was placed to the side and lightly clinked it against the beer bottle in Su Chengjun's hand, making a crisp 'clink' sound. "Happy to cooperate!"
The two drank their drinks almost simultaneously, then looked at each other and smiled.
