Chapter 316 Ming Si visits to discuss cooperation
Seeing that Lu Jingxiao was about to go in, Ming Si quickly stopped him: "President Lu, I sincerely wanted to negotiate with you, and this is how you treat me?"
"What conditions are you trying to negotiate with me for something I don't even own?"
Are you sick?
Ming Si seemed certain that the item was in Lu Jingxiao's hands. His expression was very serious, and he directly began to negotiate with him: "You have to hear my terms first before we talk about whether the badge is in your hands or not."
Lu Jingxiao snorted coldly, seemingly not taking him seriously: "Then tell me, what are your conditions?"
"As long as you give me the badge, once I take control of the Chris family and the businesses under the Chris family's name, I can give you 10% of the shares, which is an immeasurable amount of money."
"Of course, I also know that the Lu Group has a project in the US that needs to be implemented. I can act as an intermediary to help you get the project off the ground. That should be a pretty good offer, right?"
Lu Jingxiao felt insulted; how could someone even utter such conditions?
"Elder, do you think I'm short of money?" What a joke. "I, Lu Jingxiao, have lacked everything in my life, but the one thing I have plenty of is money. The combined wealth of the Chris family probably doesn't even equal the Lu Group's. What difference would 10% of yours make?"
Lu Jingxiao didn't have time to waste with him: "I don't have the badge you're talking about either, so don't waste your time on me."
Ming Si's face immediately darkened. What did this mean?
Are you going to refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a penalty shot?!
“Mr. Lu, the fact that I can still talk to you properly means that everything is negotiable. If... then I’d like to invite your fiancée to my estate.”
"Threatening me?"
Ming Si looked arrogant and didn't take Lu Jingxiao seriously at all.
He seemed to have forgotten... whose territory he was in.
"I wouldn't dare. If we can reach a cooperation agreement, I will naturally protect your fiancée. But if we do the opposite... then I can't guarantee her safety."
He thought, "No one can refuse, right?"
If Lu Jingxiao truly cared about his fiancée, he wouldn't have refused her request.
“Ming Si, even if the current patriarch of the Chris family stood in front of me, he wouldn’t dare to threaten me.” He sneered, “You kidnapped my fiancée before, and she was returned intact. This is the first time you’ve dared to threaten me so openly in front of me.”
Ming Si suddenly froze on the spot. He seemed to remember something. Lu Jingxiao was never as clean as he appeared on the surface, so how could he possibly be threatened by him?
“You…” His attitude softened immediately: “I just want to cooperate with you, I have no other intentions and I am not threatening you.”
"What were you doing just now?"
Are we playing house?
Just as Ming was about to say something more, he was interrupted by the ringing of the phone.
"What?"
Are you serious?
"I'll be right back. You need to explain this to me clearly."
Ming Si angrily hung up the phone, her eyes filled with a vicious, venomous look, as if she wanted to tear Lu Jingxiao to pieces.
"President Lu, you guys have a brilliant plan."
He left without looking back after saying just one sentence.
Lu Jingxiao squinted at Ming Si's departing figure. He suddenly had a bad feeling. What was on the other end of the phone?
The fact that Mingsi left in such anger must mean something serious happened.

At Chris Manor, the old patriarch stared at the appraisal report before him, his chest heaving with anger.
How dare you lie to me!
Chris, you're awesome!
Why would you try to fool me with a fake paternity test report?!
Chris already has a child, yet he refuses to admit it. What a bastard! Doesn't he want to be the heir to the Chris family?
Paul stood to the side, not daring to say a word.
He didn't expect the young master to go so far. He knew how much the clan leader looked forward to this child, but he still went and made up a fake report.
If he hadn't been so stubborn and gone to the testing center again, they probably wouldn't have been able to find out.
The head of the forensic center said, "Butler Paul, I gave the forensic report to Young Master Chris. You didn't say you were going to keep it from him, so... when he found out, we gave it to him."
"However, they returned it to me without even looking at it, so the appraisal report should have been tampered with."
But Paul found in the system that the results of Bai Yuxin's amniocentesis were different from what they had seen.
The child in her belly was Chris's, but the results they received were false.
That means someone must have tampered with it.
The one that was made public was tampered with by Miss Iman, something they all knew perfectly well. And now that this one has been tampered with, they have no one to suspect but Young Master Chris.
Paul stood before the old patriarch, his voice low: "Patriarch, should I bring Young Master Chris here?"
After pondering for a moment, the old patriarch finally shook his head: "No, I don't want to see Chris. Go and bring Bai Yuxin to me. Since she is carrying the child of the Chris family, she should live in the Chris family until the child is born safely."
Paul the butler was momentarily at a loss. He stood there with his head down, motionless.
The old clan chief seemed somewhat displeased: "What are you doing here, child? Go away now!"
"Yes, but..."
"Just what?"
Paul lowered his head and replied, "Elder Mingsi went to see President Lu today, presumably to discuss the badge, but we found that President Lu seemed to have returned from outside; no one even picked him up today."
Based on past surveillance...
Luo Zhiwei would wait for Lu Jingxiao to come home almost every day, and as soon as he arrived, she would give him a big hug.
However, this is not the case today.
All of this seemed unusual.
"Didn't you keep sending people to monitor the Lu family manor? Why are your answers so uncertain? What is the current situation at the Lu family manor?"
Paul lowered his head even further and bent over, not daring to look the old patriarch in the eye: "After learning that the child in Miss Bai Yuxin's belly was not the young master's, I ordered people to evacuate. Even Miss Iman's people were evacuated, so... I really don't know what's going on at the Lu family manor these past two days."
"Nonsense!"
The old clan chief was furious!
This is an elderly person who's always been by my side, and yet they made such a basic mistake!
Even if the child in Bai Yuxin's belly isn't Chris's, she's still the woman Chris cares about most. How could he easily give up monitoring her?
"Go and investigate right now. Bai Yuxin might not even be in the US anymore. You must bring her back to me!"
Paul was immediately alarmed. Realizing the seriousness of the situation, he knelt down and sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, Chieftain. It was my negligence that allowed the other party to take advantage of the situation."
The old clan chief was very angry, but now that things had already happened, what else could he do?
The most important thing now is to find Bai Yuxin's whereabouts.
"It's no use saying all this now. You need to send people to investigate right now and find out where Bai Yuxin is. If she has left the United States, then you will have to atone with your lives!"
Paul immediately stood up in alarm and hurriedly went to make arrangements for the matter.
However, Chris stopped him as soon as he reached the door.
"Butler Paul, where are you going?"
"Young Master?" Paul nodded respectfully. "The clan chief has assigned me a task, so I will not speak to you further."
"Don't go! Where are you going?"
