Chapter 167 Gang Crime
Charles flagged down a cab on the side of the road.
Just as he opened the door and slid in, a woman in a black evening dress came rushing over out of nowhere.
"Charles, hold up! I gotta tell you something!"
Snow's face was all flushed, looking a bit shy and kinda embarrassed.
"What is it? It's super late. Can't it wait till tomorrow?"
Charles got in the car, cool as a cucumber.
He didn't give Snow any special treatment just 'cause she was drop-dead gorgeous.
Hearing his words, Snow didn't back off. Instead, she hopped into the cab with Charles.
Alfonso was left standing there, totally gobsmacked!
"That bitch! Seriously?!"
"I offered you a ride in my Pagani Huayra, and you said no. But Mr. Smoke here grabs a taxi, and you jump right in?"
"What kind of female idol, what first Campus princess at Lacus Magnus University? You're just a gold digger! Acting all pure, what a joke!"
Alfonso was fuming, feeling totally humiliated.
If Snow had just grabbed her own taxi and not gotten into his car, he might've felt a bit better.
But now?
Snow straight-up ignored him!
He personally invited her, but she didn't get in. Charles didn't even ask, and she eagerly followed him!
What a slap in the face.
Alfonso's eyes were bloodshot, and his whole body was shaking with rage!
"Snow, what are you doing?"
Charles sat in the back seat, and Snow squeezed in next to him, their bodies accidentally touching.
Snow's face ended up right in Charles's chest!
He could even smell her shampoo.
"Charles, I really need to talk to you!" Snow said.
"Just spit it out, no need to beat around the bush!"
"I'm here on behalf of KoiTech Inc. I want to invite you to visit us tomorrow. This company has a ton of potential, the team is super young, and our KoiApp has gotten amazing market feedback. Last month, it had over a million downloads!"
"KoiApp?"
Charles had heard of this app.
Its main gig was sharing social life stuff, kinda like Instagram.
Basically, it was for young people to show off their wealth.
They called it a lifestyle app, with a touch of class, and an average income of six grand.
It was all about flaunting it!
Not just for likes or dating, but it also had some shopping and sales features.
People with a following could make bank on it!
These kinds of apps were pretty slick. They acted like they were all about finding interesting souls, but in reality, the girls using these apps were pretty wild.
Charles had a roommate who downloaded KoiApp before.
Charles didn't expect Snow to work for a company like that.
And she thought this company had a lot of potential?
Well, it did have potential!
Young people!
Who didn't want to meet more friends of the opposite sex and get into relationships?
"Are you asking me to invest in KoiApp?" Charles asked, cool as a cucumber.
"Yeah, that's the idea, but you can decide after you check out our company," Snow replied.
"Why should I visit your company? 'Cause you're hot?" Charles shot back, dripping with sarcasm.
"I..."
Snow was at a loss for words, feeling a bit hurt.
"Do you know that sometimes, to get something, you gotta give something first? If you don't offer anything, why should I help you?" Charles said bluntly.
Snow got the hint!
This guy was a total jerk.
He wanted to take advantage of her?
She had just thought Charles looked so soulful and deep when playing the piano, but now she realized he was so despicable!
Snow: Favorability -5
Snow: Favorability -5
Snow: Favorability -5
Seeing the favorability above Snow's head dropping like crazy, Charles felt a bit speechless!
This woman really couldn't take a joke!
"Alright, if you agree to one condition, I might consider investing in KoiApp!"
"What condition? You want to sleep with me?" Snow said coldly.
The temperature in the car seemed to drop by a dozen degrees instantly.
"What the hell are you thinking? Do you think I lack women? Even if you stripped naked, I wouldn't be interested," Charles cursed with a disgusted look.
As if the person sitting next to him wasn't a beauty but a burly Mexican man!
Snow paused for a moment.
"You don't want to sleep with me?"
"Who the hell wants to sleep with you? You're as cold as ice!"
"Then what condition do you want me to agree to?"
When Charles scolded her, her attitude actually softened a lot, not as cold as before!
"We'll talk about it tomorrow. I'll discuss it with your boss in person!"
During Charles and Snow's conversation, they seemed to have overlooked something.
The taxi driver started the car without even asking for their destination.
And the car wasn't heading towards Lacus Magnus University.
Soon, they left the city center and got onto a suburban road.
"Sir, did you take the wrong way?" Snow frowned.
Charles squinted his eyes, realizing something was off.
The car doors seemed to be locked.
He took out his phone and found there was no signal. Was there a signal jammer installed?
Kidnapping?
Experienced criminals?
Damn it!
Charles took a glance at the driver, who was wearing a baseball cap, with a robust stature and hands calloused with age, looking simple and honest but with a cold gaze.
But that wasn't the worst part.
There were two more cars behind the taxi.
They seemed to be in on it!
"Sir, I want to get off. Let us out!" Snow said.
The taxi driver actually stopped the car, but the two cars behind also stopped.
A total of seven or eight men, holding knives, ropes, sacks, and other tools.
One of them was even dressed as a hotel staff member.
A gang operation?
