Chapter 475 Robbery x Beautiful Lady (55)
Shen Yuan took a deep breath, took off her shoes, climbed onto the bed, and sat next to him.
Fu Huaisi put his hand on her leg and closed his eyes lazily.
Chen Yuan squeezed out the skin care lotion, applied it on his fingertips, and rubbed it over the hairs one by one.
The sleeves of the floral shirt were rolled up to his wrists, revealing a strong and slender arm. The man's hands were large, with calluses between his thumb and index finger, and calluses also on both sides of his index finger.
This is caused by holding the gun for a long time and practicing pulling the trigger.
Under the pretext of applying skin care lotion, Shen Yuan carefully examined the man's hands.
Her index finger gently brushed the fine calluses at the base of the man's finger.
The man's eyebrows twitched slightly, but he didn't open his eyes. He spread out his hands and let her look.
His past was not glorious, but they would be sleeping in the same bed together in the future anyway. No matter how naive he was, he should let her know what kind of person he was and understand him deeply.
"The calluses on your hands and the scars on your back, are they gunshot wounds?"
Finally I decided to ask.
The man curled his lips and hummed indifferently.
Then he heard the woman cautiously ask him, "What kind of business are you doing in the United States? Why...why are you involved with this?"
The man closed his eyelids and said calmly, "What else? Arms."
The man paused in applying the lotion, then opened his eyes, turned around and stared at her jokingly: "What, are you scared?"
Chen Yuan took out a few tissues to wipe off the skin care lotion on her palm, screwed the tube cap tightly, and gently put it aside.
When the man saw her actions, the smile on his lips froze slightly, and his eyes turned cold.
As expected, this woman is very timid and afraid of everything.
What image would I have in her eyes?
A madman who behaves erratically?
I would rather be a good girl and wear mourning for the old man than have anything to do with him.
But what could she do? No matter how scared she was, she had to be tied to this madman.
The man sneered, put his arm around the woman's waist, buried his head, and said in a cold voice: "Sleep."
The iron arm stretched across her waist with great force, pressing Shen Yuan so hard that she could hardly breathe. She tried to move to the side twice, but was instantly pulled back by the long arm.
The man pulled the quilt over her head, burying her tightly.
"While I can still bear it, you'd better behave yourself."
After saying that, he pushed towards Chen Yuan's buttocks in a vicious manner. He clearly felt that the woman in his arms stiffened for a moment and did not dare to move again.
It was hard to describe the feeling in his heart. Fu Huaisi hugged her tightly. Although he was not very sleepy, he was too lazy to open his eyes.
The luxury cruise ship was sailing slowly on the sea, the waves hitting the wheel side, and the woman's voice was mixed in the night waves, and Fu Huaisi almost didn't hear it.
"No."
Chen Yuan shrank into his arms, and Fu Huaisi hugged her tighter and asked again.
"Are you really not afraid?"
At this time, I became bolder.
Shen Yuan's voice was low, like a whisper in a dream.
"Um."
Fu Huaisi stopped talking and closed his eyes and fell asleep contentedly.
[Ding! The target's favorability has increased to 60%!]
—
Qiu Cheng'an was kidnapped, and even Zhong Jiang disappeared. The news that Litai was ownerless spread quickly, causing an uproar.
No matter what, Qiu Cheng'an is also a well-known figure in Jingjiang. He has countless bodyguards when he travels, and he is doing very well thanks to the huge fortune left by Mr. Qiu.
Zhong Jiang was the special assistant that Mr. Qiu valued most when he was alive. He was promoted by him. He was loyal, smart, and well versed in business.
In the vast Jingjiang River, two living people were kidnapped silently and their lives or deaths are unknown.
For a time, people were in panic, especially companies that had cooperated with Litai. The security around the company was obviously tighter and stricter.
Of course, some people also speculated that the mastermind behind the scenes was Litai’s second young master who had just returned to China not long ago. After all, the romantic stories of Mr. Qiu when he was young could be written into a book.
Construction on the land in the east of the city also began in a big way, and it has taken shape in nearly half a month.
Some insiders were secretly shocked, thinking that the boss who bought this land must have too much money to burn.
Such a large-scale permafrost mine is not mined, but a tourist area that does not make money is built.
A fool with money, power and means.
The atmosphere in the conference room of the Litai office building was extremely heavy.
Sitting at the huge conference table, the shareholders all had grim expressions on their faces.
It has been half a month since Mr. Xiao Qiu disappeared. During this half month, the police have used various means to investigate, but have never found any useful clues.
Special Assistant Zhong also disappeared. They secretly sent many people to search for Mr. Xiao Qiu in places where he might appear. They almost turned Jingjiang upside down, but still found nothing.
As time goes by, hope becomes increasingly slim.
No one spoke in the meeting room. Finally, Yang Guangxing raised his head, looked at the other shareholders, and said in a low voice, "We can't wait like this any longer. There is still no news from Mr. Qiu. We must do something."
"If Mr. Qiu is fine and just out for fun, this is too much of a joke."
He paused for a few seconds and continued with another possibility, "If something really happens to him, we'd be courting death if we continue to wait like this."
Although the words were harsh, they made sense and soon resonated with other shareholders.
The company continued to operate day after day, but Mr. Qiu disappeared and many major projects could not be started, resulting in huge losses.
As shareholders of Litai, they had to bear all these losses themselves. They were extremely anxious, but no one dared to step forward to take charge of the situation.
First, he was not sure whether Qiu Chengan was really in trouble. If he suddenly came back, he would be the first to stand out and would definitely be the one to get picked on.
Second, everyone wants to get a piece of the pie, and those who don’t have the ability dare not act rashly.
This has led to the current dilemma. Yang Guangxing wants to be the first to take action, and they couldn't ask for more.
Yang Guangxing continued, "The seizure of the Chengdong Tourism Zone project was a heavy blow to Litai. Now several mines can't start construction. I believe you feel the same way I do."
Someone immediately agreed.
"Yes, Mr. Yang, you hit the nail on the head. I've lost millions by myself these days. It's really unbearable."
"Mr. Qiu is missing. The police have sent so many people but found nothing. There's no point in us getting anxious. We should think about how to recover the losses."
"Recover the losses? How?"
"For example... we could nominate someone to temporarily take over the position of general manager and take over all matters within the group, big and small."
The speaker was Liu Yan. When these words came out, everyone was shocked and started whispering.
"this…"
Someone in the corner hesitated and said, "Then Mr. Liu, who do you think can take on this important task?"
Liu Yan drank the hot tea slowly, put down the cup, and met everyone's gaze.
"Didn't the Second Young Master return to China a month ago? As Mr. Qiu's second son, who else could be more suitable than him?"
"No, how can this be possible?!"
Liu Yan looked at the person who was speaking and asked, "Why not?"
"The second young master was sent abroad by Mr. Qiu when he was only two years old. In the past few years, he has been idle and uneducated. He has caused many troubles in the United States, and Mr. Qiu has to clean up his mess."
"Let alone managing such a large company, you haven't even taken basic business courses. How can you be qualified for the position of general manager?"
The meeting room was full of family members, so there were no scruples. He spoke particularly loudly and indignantly.
But he didn't expect that as soon as he finished speaking, a casual voice came from outside the door.
"Huh? What are you talking about me?"
