In an abandoned building in the suburbs
When Mrs. Daisy and Helian Rui arrived, they saw scattered hemp ropes, obvious wheel marks and dripping blood on the ground. After an unknown amount of time, the blood had dried up. Fortunately, the amount of blood was not large, so Daisy was able to stabilize her body.
"Ari, what should we do? Is something wrong with Lillian?"
Helian Rui turned to look at the anxious woman, who was clearly furious. However, he didn't know what he was thinking about, and his expression subconsciously softened a bit. He put his arm around the woman's shoulders and pretended to comfort her. "No, it shouldn't be a problem. I'll send someone to look for clues about her. Don't worry."
The woman didn't care about her image at all at this moment. She was completely distraught by her daughter's sudden disappearance. Her usually bright and beautiful hair now looked disheveled and messy. Her face was full of haggardness and anxiety. She raised her tearful eyes and looked at the man in front of her who could give her support. She sobbed, "Promise me that you must ensure my daughter's safety!"
"Okay, but Lillian should be taught a lesson this time. She dares to touch anyone. You've really spoiled her! This is the Imperial Capital, not Country A! And the other party is the president of AX Group!"
Helian Rui still looked elegant. He wiped the corners of the woman's eyes and comforted her softly.
But thinking of the recent series of troubles and the inexplicable disappearance and loss of contact of his subordinates, Helian Rui knew that he could no longer sit idly by. The Jiang and Fu families had not been dealt with yet, and now they had become opponents of the AX Group. The connections he had accumulated in Mantis were simply not enough to resist the encirclement of these multiple forces, and he could only get support from Mrs. Daisy.
"Contact Garen and ask him to send some more people over!"
After hearing Helian Rui's suggestion, Daisy took out her cell phone and called the other party without any hesitation, but no one answered the call. The woman still didn't give up and called again and again, but the result was still the same.
Helian Rui saw that the woman was getting even more panicked and hurriedly asked what had happened.
“Can’t get through…”
"Waste! Call his assistant, or your housekeeper, and do everything you can to contact him!" Seeing this, the man didn't care about pretending, kicked over the chair next to him, and roared.
Mrs. Daisy finally realized that things were not that simple at this moment, and hurriedly tried to contact other people, but just like before, she could not get through.
Of course, what they didn't know was that long before Wilding told Lillian everything that had happened today, Duke Watson had already ordered people to take control of all people related to Galen, and all their properties were sealed off. Even the crematorium hidden in the mountains was taken down in one fell swoop. The once glorious Galen had been imprisoned in the dungeon of the Duke's Mansion.
The woman's panic had not yet subsided when Helian Rui's men hurried over to the two of them, whispered a few words to the man, and stopped the woman's hands from blowing away uncontrollably. She clenched her fists, as if she was enduring something.
"What happened?" Mrs. Daisy didn't hear what the visitor said, but she clearly felt the anger of the man next to her. She mustered up the courage and asked tremblingly.
"It's okay, let's go back first." After saying that, Helian Rui turned around and left without paying any attention to Daisy who was following closely behind him.
Even when they returned to the hotel, Helian Rui still had no intention of explaining. Seeing that the man was a little angry, Daisy didn't dare to ask him again, so the two of them went back to their respective rooms.
The next day.
The Dong family's news once again dominated the headlines. Previously, it was thought that Dong Jiaxue had secretly revealed the true identity of the daughter, and the plan to expose the tax evasion of the Dong Group was temporarily shelved. But yesterday, Jiang Luoning still didn't want to let them go, so he contacted Han Tianyu to add fuel to the fire.
As expected, the hospital ward was once again packed with reporters who had rushed in after hearing the news. Because of what happened with Lillian last night, the people originally assigned by Helian Rui to guard the ward door were temporarily transferred out. The only ones left were a few of the Dong family's own bodyguards, who were unable to withstand the endless stream of media coming to watch the excitement.
Finally, after continuous siege, they rushed into the ward and put the microphone directly in front of Mrs. Dong.
Because the information that was revealed were all some trivial things that happened before Chen Xu took over the company, the public naturally understood that these had little to do with men, so the spearhead was directed at Mrs. Dong.
"Mrs. Dong, are you so eager to give up your position because you are worried about the current situation of the Dong family and are deliberately trying to shirk responsibility?"
"Excuse me, will Dong's current situation affect the original income projects?"
"Mrs. Dong, do you have anything to explain about the current situation?"
"The Dong family is constantly facing crisis. Is the entire family in danger?"
The reporters were armed with cameras and didn't care at all that the person in front of them was the mistress of one of the three major families in the imperial capital. Their questions were even more sharp. Mrs. Dong had nowhere to hide at this moment. Facing the reporters' questions, she kept avoiding answering and yelling at her bodyguards to kick the person out.
When the bodyguards and hospital security arrived, Mrs. Dong was already in a very embarrassed state due to being pushed and shoved by the crowd. Dong Siqing sat on the bed without saying a word. She couldn't believe how the Dong family could suddenly become a black-hearted enterprise that was condemned by thousands of people.
Chen Xu was also fiddling with his phone with a gloomy face, pretending to be angry as he watched the news constantly refreshing. Before Mrs. Dong could come to her senses, she heard the sound of a cup falling and breaking.
"Xu'er, what's wrong, Xu'er?"
Regardless of her own embarrassment, Mrs. Dong hurried over to check on Chen Xu, but the man ruthlessly shook off her caring hands.
"Mother, what exactly does Lillian want to do? Is she satisfied with the current fate of our Dong family? Is Chen Rui satisfied?"
Mrs. Dong was somewhat bewildered by what Chen Xu said. She didn't know how this matter was related to that girl Lillian. When she saw the termination notice from AX Group on Chen Xu's phone, she felt like she was struck by lightning. But before she could digest the news, Chen Xu told her a fact that made him even more desperate.
"Yesterday, Lillian sent me pictures of her kidnapping Su Yu, and today, AX directly issued a termination notice without even discussing it with us. They simply sentenced us to death! Did you know that the contract clearly states that if any company releases negative news that affects its image or causes stock market turmoil, the other party has the right to terminate the cooperation? They didn't pursue responsibility before when the real daughter incident was exposed, which was already a great favor. Now, Lillian is actually kidnapping the president! What exactly is the intention of this fiancée who can't stand my good? What exactly does Chen Rui want to do?"
Chen Xu's heart-wrenching screams finally made Mrs. Dong understand the reason. She sat on the ground and looked at the man in front of her in disbelief. She took out the phone with trembling hands and wanted to contact Helian Rui to ask him if he was behind this. However, the other party was always busy and no one paid any attention to her.
Dong Siqing also huddled on the bed with a look of fear on her face, not daring to make a sound. She had never seen her brother so angry, and this sudden outburst made her feel an inexplicable fear.
