Zhong Guoyi ran to open the door, and only Yu Ping followed him out of concern for his safety. The others huddled against the wall, watching the doorway with tension and vigilance.
'Crunch'
Fu Xihan and his group used several flashlights, making the stairwell very bright.
Zhong Guoyi and Yu Ping, suddenly exposed to light from the darkness, squinted slightly, then heard a magnetic male voice outside the door ask calmly:
Is Li Xin'er here?
Upon hearing this, Yu Ping looked up in surprise. Was he looking for that female celebrity?
You wouldn't believe it until you see it, and what you find is astonishing.
When he was downstairs, they could only see the top of his head, but now that they were face to face, he recognized him!
Isn't this Mr. Fu, who frequently appears in financial magazines?
Zhong Guoyi realized what was happening and was equally surprised.
"Are you looking for Li Xin'er?"
Fu Xihan nodded, thinking that it seemed he had really run into him. Luckily he had asked, otherwise he would have missed it.
"Hmm, where is she?"
Zhong Guoyi looked troubled and glanced at Yu Ping, as if they were discussing how to put it.
"this···"
Is this person Li Xin'er's enemy or friend? Will it have any impact on them?
Yu Ping couldn't think about that right now; his head was buzzing, and he felt a bit flustered, like he was in front of a respected figure.
This is Fu Xihan, the head of the Fu family!
Seeing Zhong Guoyi's hesitation in answering, Fu Xihan frowned. Was answering this question difficult?
He had to re-examine the two men in front of him. One was in his forties, wearing glasses and gentle and refined. The other was younger, in his twenties, a young man over 1.8 meters tall, but he seemed to be out of his mind, staring at his shoes with dilated pupils, lost in thought.
He doesn't look like a bad person, but appearances can be deceiving.
Now he can only comfort himself by thinking that Li Xin'er is not simple and should not be bullied by these people.
Fu Xihan's voice deepened, carrying a hint of the sharpness of someone in a superior position.
"If you know anything about her, tell me the truth, and I can give you a certain reward in exchange."
He wanted to try diplomacy first, but he didn't want to resort to violence.
The people inside the house kept listening to the conversation between the people at the door.
Actually, they were already somewhat relieved when they heard Fu Xihan's attitude when the door opened; if they could talk things out properly, there was room for discussion.
I'm afraid they'll treat it like they're clearing out zombies, just come in and start shooting, leaving you with nowhere to complain if you die.
Yu Ping stammered nervously.
"Mr. Fu... Mr. Fu."
Fu Xihan turned his gaze to Yu Ping; this man was finally acting normally.
"Huh? You know me?"
Yu Ping nodded repeatedly, pleased that Fu Xihan had responded to him.
"Of course, of course. There should be very few people in China who don't know you, Mr. Fu."
Reminded by Yu Ping's conversation, Zhong Guoyi, who was standing next to him, belatedly realized that it was Fu Xihan!
He had never met such a person before; he had only heard of him but never seen him in person. Although there were photos of Fu Xihan in many financial magazines and news reports, he was too blind to notice him at the moment. In addition, he was preoccupied with what to do and didn't have time to look closely at the man's appearance.
"President Fu?!"
Before Zhong Guoyi could continue speaking, a series of hurried footsteps rushed out from inside the room.
There are a few other little-known CEOs in China, and besides the Fu family, there are none.
The father, upon seeing that it was indeed Fu Xihan, was no less excited than Yu Ping. He stepped forward and reached out to shake hands with Fu Xihan.
"Hello, Mr. Fu, I am Wang Youwei, the business manager of Runyun Group. I didn't expect to have the honor of meeting you here."
Fu Xihan saw that several more people had arrived at the door, but Li Xin'er was nowhere to be seen. Moreover, these people had gone off-topic before even answering his question…
He wasn't here to meet any manager, and his expression darkened further.
Assistant Li, sensing the danger, stepped forward and blocked Wang Youwei's hand, reiterating his question.
"Have you seen Miss Li Xin'er? Mr. Fu is looking for her."
Wang Youwei awkwardly withdrew his hand, looking embarrassed. His wife, Wu Jie, who was standing beside him holding their child, brightened up upon hearing this and spoke first:
"Li Xin'er, I know!"
Although she was a full-time housewife, she often heard her husband talk about President Fu of the Fu Group. As a good wife, she naturally had to give her husband opportunities to shine and win President Fu's favor.
Yu Ping straightened his back; how could he let someone else steal the opportunity to shine in front of the big shot? He quickened his pace and spoke first.
“I know, Li Xin’er is gone! She left this morning with three other people.”
Wu Jie glared at Yu Ping with displeasure. This kid was really cunning; he dared to interrupt her. To prove he was more useful, she quickly added even more details.
"She burned that young master of the Ye family to death! She scared him away, and even blew up the building downstairs when she left."
Once the two of them brought it up, the others followed suit, each vying to speak and show off in front of Fu Xihan.
Fu Xihan frowned deeply, feeling that these people's words were like flies buzzing around.
Li, the thoughtful bulletproof vest-equipped assistant, went online, paused for a quick clean-up, and added a professional, friendly smile.
“You can speak one by one.”
Chef Liang Guoyi: "She emptied out the three floors of the hotel restaurant!"
Yu Ping: "She has spatial abilities."
Wang Youwei: "Not only the restaurant, but also three floors of hotel rooms, not even any furniture was left."
Wu Jie: "That's right. The two men she brought with her, one can set fires and the other can control water. They're very capable."
Zhong Guoyi: "Yes, that's right."
···
After listening to them, Fu Xihan pursed his lips and remained silent, unsure whether to be happy or unhappy.
