Five million.
"explain."
"Both are true."
For Yun Ruolin, Feng's answer was tantamount to no answer at all: "Specific."
I thought the wind would demand exorbitant prices.
They're asking for an exorbitant amount.
The truth is, he calmly declined, saying, "This is something beyond your knowledge."
Yun Ruolin was probably so obsessed with finding out that Xiao Cheng had collaborated with outsiders to murder Bai Lu's family that she went crazy. Without even offering a price, she made her own offer: "Thirty million."
"This isn't about money."
"Fifty million."
The wind laughed: "You have no right to know."
As soon as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded on the other end of the phone, steady yet slightly hurried.
The wind whistled loudly: "A distinguished guest has arrived, Mr. Yun, bye-bye~"
"Don't forget the six million!"
He hung up after saying that.
Enraged, Yun Ruolin went home and burned Bai Lu's three graduation photos. She then ordered the Yun family's secret service to investigate Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu's whereabouts at all costs.
Hard work pays off for the wealthy.
The Yun family's secret service uncovered a piece of information.
Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu left the country on the same day.
Bai Lu has an incredibly deep memory of this day.
The dangerous phase following the launch of the plan was silently enveloping her father and grandfather. She made a second appointment with Xiao Cheng, who said he was abroad on business and would be back soon.
Tell her to wait a moment.
White Dew can't wait any longer.
During the first hypnosis session in the tea room, she placed a super-intelligent tracking sticker, thinner and more transparent than a piece of paper, on the fold of the collar at the back of Xiao Cheng's suit.
I know which country Xiao Cheng went to.
I went to find him after hanging up the phone.
The plane crashed and disappeared in the Bermuda Triangle, and when she opened her eyes again, she was in the 1990s.
Yun Ruolin was thrown into a panic when she heard the news that Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu were leaving the country on the same day.
Despite repeated questioning of his subordinates in the secret service, they were unable to find out where Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu had gone.
Aside from news of Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu going abroad, the Yun family's secret service couldn't find any information about Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu. Their intelligence network was worlds apart from "Feng's".
Yun Ruolin was struck as if by a devastating piece of bad news, and instantly collapsed to the ground.
Her face was pale, and her rosy lips were bitten until they turned white: "No, Xiao Cheng and Bai Lu are from two different worlds. It's impossible for them to be together. It must be that Bai Lu did something to Xiao Cheng during the hypnosis treatment that day!"
"Yes! That must be it!"
"Xiao Cheng is so intelligent, rational, steady, and clear-headed; he would never do something he knows is impossible!"
"Bai Lu must have hypnotized Xiao Cheng!"
Bai Lu looked at Yun Ruolin, who was almost obsessed, and felt both sorry for her and sorry for her.
She did want to hypnotize Xiao Cheng.
But Xiao Cheng's psychological defenses were so abnormal that not only did she fail three times, she was also almost hypnotized by him.
Is Xiao Cheng someone that mere humans can control? — Obviously not.
Yun Ruolin frantically called him countless times, but couldn't get through to any of them.
Either no one answers or the call cannot be connected.
I don't know if it's a political meeting, an industry summit, or a guild forum; I didn't bring my phone.
He still ignored Yun Ruolin's call.
Yun Ruolin rushed to the Chinese-style garden manor to find Xiao Cheng, but was blocked at the gate by Megatron and Optimus Prime. She went to the Peak Mansion to find Xiao Cheng, but was blocked at the foot of the mountain by the guards.
I asked Secretary Zhou for information, but Secretary Zhou didn't know where Xiao Cheng had gone either.
All I know is that he hasn't returned to China yet, and I can't get in touch with him.
Previously, Xiao Cheng worked remotely from home, holding routine meetings and handling work as required.
Contact with the group should not be lost for more than three days, but now it has been five days since I last saw them.
The CEO's office is piled high with work.
No one is handling it.
The group continues to operate at a high speed, with employees from top to bottom working in an orderly manner and each performing their duties.
Privately, however, many speculations and discussions arose.
When Yun Ruolin was in the restroom, she heard, "Has something happened to President Xiao?" and instinctively wanted to retort, but her assistant rushed in from outside to tell her to go to a meeting.
The news that the three meetings and the first floor were held urgently today spread throughout the entire Xiao Group in the shortest possible time, from the secretariat on the 88th floor to the front desk on the 1st floor.
Every employee knows that the Xiao Group has undergone tremendous changes.
When Yun Ruolin arrived at the main conference room, the shareholders' meeting had already ended, and the board of directors and the board of supervisors were proceeding simultaneously.
The high-level meeting is next.
The shareholders sitting in the rest area looked solemn, as if they had received some shocking and earth-shattering news.
Some shook their heads and sighed, some whispered and discussed countermeasures, and some made phone calls to contact people...
The situation after the board of directors and supervisory board meetings ended was even more astonishing: a supervisor who had served as a member of the Shaw Group for six years was dismissed at the meeting.
The chief financial officer settled his salary on the spot.
The chief legal officer immediately terminated his legal relationship.
The reason for the removal was that the supervisor refused to comply with the work arrangements of the new chairman and made disrespectful remarks.
Xiao Cheng hasn't returned yet, so how come the Xiao Group has a new chairman?
Who is the new chairman?
The methods were so swift and decisive, dismissing officials without hesitation, showing no consideration for anyone.
The entire group was in a state of panic.
Yun Ruolin's face was like a palette of colors, bombarded by one piece of news after another. Before she could sort it out and accept it, she followed the senior executives into the main conference room.
At the head table in the main conference room, in the most prominent position, stood the Chief Financial Officer and Chief Legal Officer of the Xiao Group, along with three unfamiliar men in formal attire.
The figure in the very center was slender and upright, wearing a well-tailored black suit and neat, shoulder-length short hair. She was dashing and heroic. Even from behind, her aura of authority as someone who had long held a high position was enough to sweep across the entire room.
As she turned around, her beautiful face and cold, stern expression, along with her overwhelming and domineering queen-like aura, made all the executives present afraid to even breathe.
Yun Ruolin's eyes widened, and her expression changed drastically.
Bai Lu was so shocked that even her soul and consciousness were shaken.
That is...
Auntie!!!
What's my aunt doing here?!
Where did Xiao Cheng go?!
"From today onwards, I, Qiao Yue, will be the chairman and CEO of the Xiao Group."
As Qiao Yue's cold and authoritative voice fell, a staff member in formal attire behind her took out an agreement document, opened it, and placed it on the large conference table, indicating that everyone should read it.
"Your CEO Xiao has stepped down due to unforeseen circumstances, and his return is yet to be determined. This is a voluntary transfer agreement for all the shares of the Xiao Group under his name, and it bears his personal signature."
The executives became increasingly alarmed as they looked at the document. Having received so many documents, they were intimately familiar with Xiao Cheng's signature and could tell the difference between a genuine and a fake at a glance.
Only Yun Ruolin raised a question without even looking: "Miss Qiao and our President Xiao are not related, so why would President Xiao voluntarily transfer the shares of Xiao Group to you?"
"You said that President Xiao's fate is uncertain, which proves that President Xiao is still alive and well. However, without any warning or reason, he transferred the shares. This makes people suspicious of the authenticity of Miss Qiao's share transfer agreement and whether the signature is forged?"
