Seeing that the night owl had put down the satellite phone, Xu Nuo got up, dusted himself off, and said:
"Are you serious about you and Rui Rui?"
Night Owl put the phone in his pocket: "Among all the people around me, who isn't serious!"
"I'm not kidding! Shao Rui isn't like those women around you!"
Xu Nuo had seen Night Cat in Myanmar, with two women on either side of him! Over the years, every time he was seen at the border or in his village, the women he was with were different!
"Do you think I'm like you? There's no such thing as true love in this world! You wouldn't even know where you'd be buried if you died one day! Besides, this kind of thing is consensual, I didn't force him, right? The fact that he's interested in me means I'm charming!"
Night Owl spoke flippantly, adjusting his sunglasses with his signature roguish grin still playing on his lips.
"If that's what you think, I'm warning you, don't mess with Shao Rui! He's not like you; he's a stubborn guy!"
Xu Nuo pointed to the pocket where he kept the satellite phone:
"This phone has been tapped and is no longer usable!"
"Nan Qing'an's reach is really long! Looks like I'll have to give him a good talking-to when I come back this time!" Night Cat patted the bag and waved to the people behind him, signaling them to follow.
"I need to change my plans! Nan Qing'an has become the biggest variable in my entire plan!"
Xu Nuo discerned the direction and spoke slowly.
“Xu Nuo, things are different here than back home. Even if Nan Qing'an’s forces aren’t here, there will be others. This place is destined to be no one’s domain! I think you might as well take advantage of the fact that he has feelings for you! Maybe, a dead end will turn into a way out!”
Although Ye Mao didn't know as much about Nan Qing'an as Xu Nuo did, she had learned a bit during her time in Yuncheng. If Xu Nuo had Nan Qing'an's help, perhaps...
"He's interested in me, but I'm not interested in him! He's too timid and weak; he's not my type!"
"Oh~ You like muscular men? Look at me, am I good enough for you!"
As he spoke, Night Owl lifted his shirt, revealing his bronze abs.
"Get lost! I don't want a scumbag like you!"
Xu Nuo glared at him: "You slept with two of my boys at Yun Duan, and I haven't settled the score with you yet!"
"Sure! How much? But let's be clear, they're all doing this voluntarily!"
Night Owl put down his shirt and tidied himself up a bit.
"Get out! Get out! Get out!!!"
Xu Nuo didn't want to count the romantic entanglements of the night owl, so she took a bottle of water from her backpack and drank it.
"Hey~ I just remembered something!"
Night Owl took the half-empty bottle of water from Xu Nuo's hand and drank it all in one gulp.
"What?"
Xu Nuo rummaged through her backpack, which was mostly filled with food, drinks, and various supplies.
"You said Nan Qing'an looks so refined and gentle. If you were with him, you could become the one on top!"
After saying that, Night Owl laughed loudly a few times.
"You're fucking speechless!"
Xu Nuo tossed the zippered backpack onto him: "Hurry up, we have to get there before dark!"
The group of people gradually disappeared into the forest, and the hearty laughter of the night owl could be heard from time to time.
......................................................................................................................
A few days later, in the conference room of the Ye Group, the shareholders, who rarely showed up on weekdays, all sat at the conference table with serious expressions.
Old Master Ye, Ye Qingshan, sat in the main seat with a livid face.
On the projector in the conference room, a news report was playing, showing an elderly woman in her sixties crying in front of his Ye's Building.
Reporters surrounded the area, and the sound of camera shutters and interviews filled the air!
The old woman, who identified herself as Ms. Wang, was recounting events from over a decade ago:
At the time, the predecessor of the Ye Group was just a small company. They forcibly demolished her house for land and even beat her husband to death!
Grandma Wang stood in front of the main gate of the Ye Group, tearfully recounting her story for over half an hour. The security guards from the Ye Group were blocked by the crowd of onlookers and could not get close to Grandma Wang at all.
The crying and pleading was only stopped when the police arrived at the scene after the incident was reported.
On the screen, only after Old Mrs. Wang was taken away did Ye Qingshan press the pause button on the projector! His cold gaze swept over the people present:
"What's the point of the group's public relations department! It's only been less than a day, and the whole of Yuncheng is already buzzing with the news! What good are you guys now!"
The manager in charge of the department stood in the conference room, barely daring to breathe. He wasn't even qualified to sit in a meeting of this level, and he didn't dare to utter a sound even after being scolded.
"Have you found out who is behind this person?"
Although Ye Qingshan was old, his mind was still very clear. If no one was playing tricks behind his back, would Old Madam Wang, who was about to be buried, have the audacity to make a scene in front of Ye's house?
Seeing that no one spoke, Ye Jin, who was sitting closest to Ye Qingshan, spoke up:
"We haven't found out yet! This old lady disappeared after causing a scene! Someone must be pulling the strings behind the scenes, otherwise, we wouldn't be able to find out about this old lady!"
After listening to Ye Jin's words, Ye Qingshan squinted and pondered for a while.
"Cough cough cough~~~" Ye Zhen, sitting to Ye Qingshan's left, coughed a few times when no one spoke.
"Grandpa, isn't it a bit of an overreaction to call everyone here for such a small matter?"
As Ye Zhen spoke, he glanced at a man in his fifties with a plump figure across from him.
The man understood immediately and spoke in a hoarse voice:
"Young Mr. Ye, it seems you don't know this yet! If it were just for something like this, there would be no need to invite all of us old guys here! Nor would there be a need for the chairman to personally come to our group!"
Ye Qingshan looked at the speaker, Ye Guoliang, a director of the board! He was from a branch of the Ye family and had started the business with Ye Qingshan in his early years. Now that he was older, he had been resting on his laurels for the past few years!
Ye Guoliang and Ye Jin are of a similar generation and are quite capable. However, they are not direct descendants of Ye Qingshan's lineage, so they do not have much real power. But they are also members of the board of directors and hold shares in the Ye Group, so they have a say in the board.
"Is there anything else?" Ye Zhen also looked at Ye Guoliang and asked.
"It's all because of another problem with CEO Ye!"
As Ye Guoliang spoke, he also looked at Ye Qingshan, who was in the main seat.
"speak!"
After Ye Qingshan finished speaking, he glanced at Ye Zhen.
Ye Guoliang swayed as he stood up, his somewhat obese body swaying.
"I received a message yesterday from an official friend, and the information is accurate! Ye Linyan's company is in trouble and is currently under joint investigation by multiple departments. Its finances and all operations have been suspended!"
