"Big brother." Ling Chen looked at Qiu Yong and the others sitting on the sofa and said, "I’ll handle Wanqing’s situation first; you keep an eye on the Guo Family. Rember, the Guo Family has hired over a hundred elite assassins from the Zhu Family. Be very cautious and don’t let them discover you."
Qiu Yong nodded and said, "Don’t worry about it."
After making simple arrangents, Ling Chen imdiately took Zhu Qing and Chen Junfeng and drove to the Hongyu United Investnt Company.
After discussing with Tong Zhentian and He Ziyun, it was decided that Chen Junfeng would stay by Ling Chen’s side to protect his safety at all tis. After all, now that Su He was missing, provoking his revenge would be akin to waiting for death given Ling Chen’s current strength. As the backbone of the group, Ling Chen’s safety had to be ensured.
Upon arriving at the Hongyu United Investnt Company, they found the company gates closed and not a single person around. Ling Chen walked to the glass door and peered inside, seeing the receptionist and a few staff mbers sitting together, drinking tea and chatting idly.
At this, Ling Chen knocked on the door to attract their attention.
Seeing the arrival of Ling Chen and the others, the receptionist and the staff’s expressions imdiately changed, looking at Ling Chen vigilantly and asking, "Who are you? What do you want?"
"I’m here to see your Chairman."
"The Chairman is not here. You’ve co to the wrong place; please leave quickly."
Seeing the cautious look on their faces, Ling Chen imdiately understood and explained, "Don’t get wrong; I’m a friend of your Chairman. I heard your Chairman has encountered so trouble, so I ca to check on things. If you don’t believe , you can contact your Chairman."
The receptionist, half-convinced, sized Ling Chen up and, after a while, asked for Ling Chen’s na, then picked up her phone and dialed a number.
"Please co in." After confirming the identities of Ling Chen and the others, the receptionist hurriedly opened the door and apologized with a smile, "Mr. Ling, we’re very sorry. We didn’t an to lock you out; we were just worried soone might co to make trouble."
Hearing this, Ling Chen curiously asked, "Did soone really co here to make trouble?"
"Mr. Ling, you don’t know. Several groups of people have co in the past few days. We thought they were here for business, but as soon as they entered, they started smashing things, not only damaging property but also injuring many of us. The Chairman had no choice but to have us close the door."
Ling Chen nodded, realizing the situation was more serious than he had imagined, "Alright, I understand. Let’s go; take to et your Chairman."
A short while later, led by the receptionist, Ling Chen and his party arrived at the Chairman’s office on the top floor. As they opened the door, they saw Nanrong Wanqing sitting on the sofa, a pot of freshly brewed tea on the coffee table. Seeing Ling Chen and the others enter, Nanrong Wanqing smiled and stood up, gracefully walking towards them.
"Why are you here today?"
"I just ca to Beijing for so business. Heard you had so issues here, so I ca to check." Ling Chen replied with a smile, "How are things? Are you alright?"
"Pretty alright. Co, everyone, have a seat." Nanrong Wanqing invited them to sit on the sofa and personally poured everyone a cup of tea. Watching Nanrong Wanqing serving tea, Ling Chen noticed a significant change in her compared to before. Previously, Nanrong Wanqing was like an ice mountain, keeping people at a distance, hiding her feelings regardless of happiness or sadness.
But seeing her today, Ling Chen felt she had changed a lot. The biggest change was her deanor; she used to give off a condescending, imposing aura, but now it was as if the icy exterior had lted into a clear spring, making her approachable and more amiable.
Taking the teacup handed by Nanrong Wanqing, Ling Chen asked, "Why are you the only one in the company? Where is everyone else?"
"With so many things happening recently, I was worried about their safety, so I let them take a leave. Only a few of us stayed at the company."
"I heard the company was attacked. It’s so dangerous; why stay here?" Ling Chen asked with concern, "By the way, where are Captain Zhong and the others? Why aren’t they here to protect you?"
"I sent them out on errands; they’ll be back soon."
Ling Chen nodded and said, "Wanqing, I have so understanding of your company’s current situation... "
Before Ling Chen could finish, Nanrong Wanqing suddenly smiled radiantly, stunningly beautiful, "Do you think my situation is very dangerous now?"
"Isn’t it?" Ling Chen retorted.
"For Hongyu Group to reach new heights, facing these challenges is necessary. Businessn focus on profit, and if soone’s interests are hurt, they won’t sit idly by. I anticipated this issue before deciding to expand Hongyu Group’s business. So everything happening now was within my expectations. It’s just that I didn’t expect them to be so despicable and unscrupulous." Nanrong Wanqing spoke lightly as if dismissing the matter.
"Do you need my help?"
"Thank you for your kind offer, but it’s unnecessary. Although the other party’s thods surprised , everything is within my control, and there won’t be any problems."
"Really?"
"Really." Nanrong Wanqing nodded and smiled, "Don’t you have confidence in ? I’ve already received the court’s summons; the hearing is in a week. We’ll see then who’s right and who’s wrong."
"Alright, if that’s the case, I won’t interfere. Just rember, regardless of what happens, I’ll always support you."
Although Nanrong Wanqing had lost that aura of being aloof, every smile, word, and movent now exuded confidence. Perhaps this was her transformation. Once this issue is resolved, Hongyu Group will soar, becoming one of the top enterprises in the country.
After casually chatting with Nanrong Wanqing for a while, Ling Chen left with Zhu Qing and Chen Junfeng when Captain Zhong and Liang Zhao Hui returned.
Since Nanrong Wanqing didn’t want him to intervene, Ling Chen decided to just be an observer. He could now focus all his energy on the Guo Family. Ling Chen had a feeling that the Guo Family would be a significant breakthrough.
In the blink of an eye, four days passed.
Hongyu United Investnt Company kept a low profile, and everyone was waiting for the day of the hearing. Ling Chen only paid slight attention to this, focusing most of his efforts on investigating the Guo Family. Over the past few days, Qiu Yong and others had been watching the Guo Family’s movents in secret. Yet, for so reason, they had no significant findings. According to Qiu Yong, Guo Ming’s life was extrely routine with nothing suspicious, nor did they discover the presence of any elite assassins.
