As soon as he finished speaking, the door was pushed open.

Zhong Guan was helped in by his assistant, taking steady little steps that looked somewhat comical.

Li Jingchen appeared concerned, but in reality, he was sarcastic, saying, "Since President Zhong is not in good health, he should travel less and ask others to do things for him instead of always doing everything himself."

Zhong Guan could easily hear the sarcasm in his voice.

"Can I let someone else handle my daughter's affairs?"

"Mr. Zhong really does love his daughter as much as the rumors say."

Speaking of this, Zhong Guan couldn't help but raise his chin, looking smug. In high society, who didn't know he had a well-behaved and obedient daughter, and who didn't know he was a good father?

Not only within his own social circle, but also online, he is a 'national dad' adored by netizens.

"Since you know this, you should treat Qingya well."

Li Jingchen raised a mocking smile and said unhurriedly, "What are you saying, Mr. Zhong? If you were worried that Miss Zhong would be wronged, you should have canceled the marriage in the first place."

"Why force her to marry me? Mr. Zhong should know that the woman I love is not her, and I will never give her a kind look."

Zhong Guan's face was ashen.

His lips trembled, and after a long while, he finally asked, "You really locked Qingya up?"

"yes."

Li Jingchen had no intention of hiding anything, and a smile curved his lips. "There's only a week left until the wedding. Since President Zhong has come to Liangcheng, I'll give you another option."

Zhong Guan frowned as he looked at him.

He said leisurely, "If the Zhong family takes the initiative to cancel the engagement, I will return Zhong Qingya to you and tell her to stop bothering me. Alternatively, I can lock her up. Since the bride doesn't show up on the wedding day, the wedding naturally cannot proceed."

Zhong Guan shouted angrily, "Li Jingchen, do you want to rebel?!"

As his angry voice fell, his bodyguard took a step forward, his posture menacing.

Li Jingchen looked at him with amusement, not taking his threats seriously at all. "What, does President Zhong want to cause trouble in my office? Have you thought it through and seen if you can bear the consequences?"

Upon hearing this, his special assistant whispered something in Zhong Guan's ear, and Zhong Guan's expression softened.

He sat back down on the sofa.

“Li Jingchen, don’t think I don’t have any dirt on you. I have evidence of your bribery of various departments in Kyoto.”

"so?"

The man's nonchalant attitude made Zhong Guan frown.

This reaction is wrong.

Zhong Guan had a gut feeling that something was missing, but his years of experience manipulating situations in the business world and winning made him disregard this intuition.

"Do you think that since the Li Group is based in Liangcheng, this evidence poses no threat to you? In any case, the group can just bypass Kyoto when it expands its business in the future."

Zhong Guan scoffed dismissively, his words carrying a clear threat.

Li Jingchen remained expressionless, moved his fingers, and Lin Xuan understood. He turned around, entered the lounge, opened the safe, and took out a file about an inch thick.

He then handed it to Li Jingchen.

He lazily turned a page with his long fingers, and when he saw the photo on the first page, the curve of his lips became even more meaningful.

He slammed the lid shut and threw a stack of documents away.

"No need to say more. If Mr. Zhong is not interested in my proposal, then be prepared for me to annul your daughter's engagement on the grounds of 'cheating'."

"Your so-called good daughter, Mr. Zhong, probably doesn't know how much of a playboy she is out there, does he?"

"I deliberately flew abroad to have both abortions, thinking I was being clever by thinking that if I went to a private hospital abroad, no one would find out and I wouldn't be investigated."

As he spoke, he stood up, and the shadow he cast fell squarely over the bell crown.

An invisible pressure inexplicably arose in Zhong Guan.

Li Jingchen looked down at him and said, "President Zhong, your daughter has a lot of scandals. I don't have time to tell you about them one by one. These materials are only a part of the story. You might as well read them all before you reconsider my suggestion."

"If you still insist on not annuling the engagement, then I'm sorry, the only outcome will be her disgrace."

Zhong Guanzheng picked up one of the documents.

As he opened the document, his expression worsened with each page, and his hands trembled so much he could barely hold it. He didn't know if he was angry or excited.

Li Jingchen has already left.

Lin Xuan stayed with him to look at the documents. Lin Xuan considerately handed him a cup of tea. Zhong Guan was so shaky that he couldn't hold the documents properly, so Lin Xuan easily took the documents from his hands with the tea.

"Mr. Zhong, please calm down and have a cup of tea."

I had just taken the teacup when, a snapping sound rang out.

The teacup was thrown and tea splashed everywhere, but Lin Xuan was prepared and dodged it quickly without getting a drop of tea on him.

Lin Xuan smiled politely, "Mr. Zhong, this tea set is a collector's item, currently worth 20 million yuan. If even one piece is damaged, the entire set is ruined."

Zhong Guan stared at him with wide eyes.

What does he mean by this? Does he want him to pay money?

Just as I was thinking this, I heard Lin Xuan continue, "How do you plan to pay this fee?"

Zhong Guan was breathing rapidly. "You dare to ask me for compensation?!"

Lin Xuan: "Damage must be compensated. It's such a simple principle. As a businessman, President Zhong should understand it better than I do. Of course, if you are willing to annul the engagement, President Li might be happy and let this debt go."

Zhong Guan was furious.

"It's just twenty million, I can afford it!"

He reached out, and his assistant handed him a check. He quickly wrote down a string of numbers on the check and tossed it at Lin Xuan.

But the check was too light, floating gently in the air. It was probably because Zhong Guan threw it with the wrong force that the check didn't go very far and was still some distance from Lin Xuan.

Looking at Zhong Guan's furious face, the scene was somewhat comical.

Lin Xuan suppressed a smile and bent down to pick up the check.

Tell Li Jingchen that I want to see Qingya!

"President Zhong, please wait a moment. I will go and tell President Li that you would like to sit for a while."

Lin Xuan took the check to the rooftop and handed it to Li Jingchen. The man didn't take it and asked, "How is it?"

Lin Xuan replied, "He hasn't given his consent yet. He wants to see Miss Zhong. Should we see her?"

"I cannot see him."

Throwing away the cigarette and extinguishing it with his leather shoe, Li Jingchen said calmly, "Zhong Qingya is much more cunning. She managed to keep these scandalous affairs from Zhong Guan for many years. Her methods are extraordinary. Once we meet, Zhong Guan will be completely fooled by her."

"That……?"

Li Jingchen sneered, gazing into the distance at the scattered skyscrapers and bungalows against the backdrop of the setting sun.

He curled his lips and said calmly, "Let him be. If he doesn't want the engagement broken off, proceed with the original plan. First, investigate Zhou Jing."

More than the troubles involving Zhong Guan and his daughter, he wanted to know whether Zhou Jing had betrayed him.

The next day.

Ouyang Group, President's Office.

Xiao Jiang hurriedly pushed the door open without knocking. He is usually very disciplined and rarely makes such a mistake.

Ouyang Zhoujing didn't blame him, guessing that he probably had something urgent to attend to, and looked up at him, "What's wrong?"

"The account has been hacked."

Ouyang Zhoujing: "Explain clearly, what account?"

Xiao Jiang, panting, said, "The account that anonymously sent emails to Zhong Guan was cracked by the Li family in the middle of last night."
