Chapter 278: His Trump Card

After hearing the assistant’s words, Wu Pang realized that Wu Mei had already discovered the deal that they thought was a success.

His daughter was outstanding, but they were never on the same side.

At this thought, Wu Pang loosened his grip on the assistant’s collar, giving him some breathing space.

The assistant sneered. His voice became hoarse as he said, “President Wu, you should go and take revenge on Manager Cheng, right? Ah, right, he must have been caught.”

“Why did you have to join in? We were all discovered because of you,” Wu Pang snarled, trying to blame the failure of the deal on an innocent assistant.

The assistant laughed mockingly and said, “But he had a gun too, didn’t he? He put it in his briefcase.”

He had been instructed to keep an eye on the manager and found him carrying a gun.

Since the manager approached him and decided to make him the scapegoat, he had to fight for a chance to make a contribution and take the initiative to suggest to Wu Mei about changing the main mission.

It was worth the risk.

“Lunatics, you are all lunatics!” Wu Pang’s body was trembling, and he almost spat out two mouthfuls of blood.

The assistant’s face was pale. He scanned the area with his peripheral vision and realized that they were in a high-class, unfamiliar neighborhood. Someone was walking in their direction.

His eyes widened and he shouted desperately, “Help, help…”

Wu Pang also heard footsteps behind him. He covered the assistant’s mouth in panic, stuffed him back into the trunk, and quickly slammed the trunk shut.

The passers-by happened to see this scene and pointed in their direction, shouting, “Hey, what are you doing? Stop, I’m going to call security.”

Wu Pang wanted to shoot a passerby, but he did not have the courage to do so. He held the pistol warily, went back to the driver’s seat, and drove away.

He did not know where he was going. He stopped in a dimly lit area and listened to the assistant’s faint cries for help. Slowly, he lit a cigarette.

His fingers kept trembling and he couldn’t put the cigarette to his lips.

What should he do next?

Wu Pang felt cornered, but was unwilling to give up.

He looked at his phone and heard the voice message that kept reminding him that the number did not exist. Furiously, he threw his phone aside.

Mo Li deleted her mobile phone number and opened the doors to a few of her properties. It was as if she was inviting guests in. However, the traces of her life had long been cleaned up. Not only did she abandon them, she even drove them into a corner.

Wu Pang picked up his phone again and searched for the latest news about the Wu Corporation.

The police had shown up at the home of a rich second-generation heir whose servant had accused him of helping Wu Pang escape.

Damn it!

His car belonged to this rich second-generation heir. He had to change it.

Suddenly, a message popped up: Wu Pang’s order for arrest.

Wu Pang’s heart sank. He knew that he would never be able to escape again, but he was unwilling to give up.

All of a sudden, he thought of an idea. How could he forget that crazy woman? With Mother Wu’s personality, she would be soft hearted if he uttered some sweet nothings and she would definitely help him escape overseas.

Even if Wu Mei wasn’t willing, she wouldn’t be willing to cut her ties with Mother Wu. In the end, she would compromise.

“Just hold on a little longer and I’ll let you go after dawn,” said Wu Pang, turning to the assistant, whose voice was growing weaker.

However, the assistant who was locked in the trunk was on the verge of passing out. He could not hear Wu Pang’s voice.

Wu Pang did not care. He drove to the Li Family’s villa before dawn.

He took the assistant’s phone, went around to the back of the car, and opened the trunk.

The assistant forced himself to open his eyes and parted his dry lips. He said weakly, “President Wu, if you continue this, there won’t be a good outcome. If you surrender now and reveal the mastermind…”

Wu Pang used the assistant’s fingerprint to unlock the phone that was about to run out of power. After sending a message to Mother Wu, he bent down and patted the assistant’s face. “Kid, have you forgotten? I still have a trump card.”

What else is there?

The assistant took a few deep breaths. Before he could say anything, he was locked up again.

Wu Pang hid in the back seat with the assistant’s phone. He sent a few messages in the assistant’s tone, asking Mother Wu for help.

At that moment, Mother Wu was sitting in the dining room, thanking the servants who had been busying around for a long time.

When the butler heard that Mother Wu was going to visit Li Nanchen and Wu Mei at the detention center, he immediately got the chauffeur to arrange for a car to wait for Mother Wu outside the villa.

Mother Wu was about to pick up two thermos containers when her phone suddenly rang.

Thinking that Wu Mei had replied, she quickly opened the message. However, when she saw the content, her expression became rather nervous. It was actually a message from her assistant that she hadn’t received any news from.

The assistant was injured and was being pursued by Wu Pang. He could only hide in the car opposite the Li Family’s villa, and hoped that Mother Wu would come to see him alone.

Alone?

Mother Wu held onto her phone. She remembered that she had promised Wu Mei that she would bring a bodyguard with her when she went out.

She received more messages from the assistant. He said he didn’t trust anyone at the moment.. He only dared to tell Mother Wu about the evidence of Wu Pang’s crimes and where he was hiding.
