Upon hearing Wang Sicheng's evaluation of Li Muqing, Chen Ze couldn't help but ponder to himself:
“These people from big families are all heartless! If they set their sights on something, they'll buy it without hesitation. If the other party refuses to sell, they'll simply blatantly seize it by force.”
At this moment, Chen Ze turned to Wang Sicheng and asked, "So, what should we do with Lin Xiyue? Should we send her abroad to lay low for a while, or should we protect her properly?"
Wang Sicheng frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and finally slowly revealed the solution he had come up with.
"How about this, let her stay in my house for a while. After some time, I'll try to help her get a foreign citizenship. That way, I'm sure we can ensure her safety."
With the negotiations concluded, Wang Sicheng very politely arranged for Chen Ze and his entourage to stay in guest rooms for the night.
Meanwhile, in the study on the other side, Wang Zongxian looked at Wang Zuyao with a puzzled expression and asked curiously:
"Brother, didn't you always prefer that young man from the Zhang family as your son-in-law? Why have you suddenly changed your mind and chosen someone else? Could it be that the newly chosen Chen Zeqi has a more powerful background?"
Wang Zuyao let out a long sigh and explained helplessly:
"Oh dear! Brother Xian, to be honest, I did originally choose that boy from the Zhang family. It's just a pity that that silly boy Zhang Liqi ignored my beautiful granddaughter and instead fell in love with a white woman."
"However, every cloud has a silver lining. It seems that Chen Ze is much more outstanding than Zhang Liqi!"
"Oh..." Wang Zongxian looked surprised, his eyes showing great interest as he asked curiously, "How exactly is it excellent? Tell me quickly."
When Chen Ze was mentioned, Wang Zuyao couldn't hide the smug look on his face, and said with great enthusiasm:
"Hey, you wouldn't believe it! This Chen Ze is so young, yet he's incredibly capable! He's only been in business for a year, but he's already managed to build a massive conglomerate with assets of 20 billion."
Upon hearing this, Wang Zongxian's eyes widened, his mouth gaped open, and his face was filled with disbelief. He stammered, "..."
"Wh...what? What kind of companies does he run? How can they be worth 20 billion? Doesn't that surpass the Zhang family's Wansheng Real Estate Group?"
Wang Zuyao calmly held up three fingers and began to list them off as if reciting a familiar story:
"First of all, Chen Ze started a company that specializes in providing online food delivery services. This company is currently valued at approximately 9 billion RMB."
"Then, he also started a venture capital firm, which has successfully invested in more than 20 well-known companies so far, with a total value of about 5 billion."
"Finally, let's talk about Panda Mobile. Its market value fluctuates around 7 billion. Pretty impressive, right?"
"Bang--"
Wang Zongxian slammed his hand on the coffee table and exclaimed, "Talented! Talented!"
"Brother Xian, you can just praise someone, why are you slamming the coffee table? I thought you were angry!"
Wang Zongxian chuckled, "I just admire talent. I got excited and really envy your Siyu. She's struck gold."
The two elderly people chatted until one o'clock before parting ways.
The next morning, after reviewing the surveillance footage, officers from the Nanjie Police Station went to the hotel where Chen Ze had stayed the previous day and discovered that he had left the night before.
The police officers did not give up the investigation. They followed the clues and inquired along the way. When they learned that Chen Ze and others had gone to the Wang family mansion, they stopped their investigation.
At the police station, Chief Li handed the information he had found to the burly man and instructed him, "Hengba, give this information to Miss."
Hengba said with a fawning expression, "Director Li, thank you for your hard work."
Director Li waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.
After leaving the police station, Hengba drove to Haihu Villa. With a nervous heart, he walked into the villa's hall and saw Li Muqing, dressed in a loose bathrobe, elegantly eating breakfast.
He strode forward and respectfully handed her the documents: "Miss, these are the documents that Director Li found. Please take a look."
Li Muqing carefully reviewed the documents, and after reading them, she frowned: "This meddlesome Chen Ze is actually from the Wang family. How come I've never seen him before?"
Then, Li Muqing glanced at Heng Ba and ordered, "Go and find out all the information about this Chen Ze, the more detailed the better."
"Yes, Miss."
After saying that, he turned to leave, but was called back.
"Wait a moment."
Hengba quickly stopped and waited for instructions.
"Go to Xiyue Beauty Center on South Street first, and pack up everything inside and bring it back to me."
"Yes, Miss, I guarantee I'll complete the mission." His tone was full of confidence.
After Heng Ba left, Li Muqing opened her phone's contacts, found Wang Sicheng's number, and dialed it. No one answered the first time, so she dialed a second time, and only then did Wang Sicheng's voice ring out.
"Hello, what's up?"
Upon hearing this, Li Muqing's eyebrows furrowed, and her face instantly filled with displeasure:
"What, shouldn't you be flattered that such a beautiful and charming woman like me has taken the initiative to contact you? But judging from your attitude, you seem quite impatient with me!"
As she spoke, she unconsciously bit her lip, secretly annoyed.
Wang Sicheng, on the other hand, appeared quite calm, patiently explaining:
"Sister Qing, please don't misunderstand. As you know, I manage such a huge group company all by myself, and I have to deal with countless matters every day. I'm extremely busy."
"My free time is really limited, and I don't have much energy to chat with you. So, if you have something important to say, please just say it."
Seeing that Wang Sicheng had put it this way, Li Muqing felt there was no point in continuing to pretend to be gentle, so she simply stopped hiding her emotions.
He said bluntly, "Alright, since you've said so, Third Young Master, I'll get straight to the point. Last night, that guy named Chen Ze ruined my plans, and I later found out he actually went to your house. I'd like to ask, what exactly is his relationship with your Wang family?"
Wang Sicheng naturally knew what she wanted to do, and then chuckled and replied:
"Sister Qing, how could Chen Ze possibly ruin your good time? He is our Wang family's future son-in-law and Wang Siyu's future husband. They are about to hold their engagement ceremony. Is there some misunderstanding between you?"
Misunderstanding? Li Muqing thought to herself, if Chen Ze weren't a member of the Wang family, she would definitely let him know that offending her would never end well.
