Chapter 198: The Turn of Times
After the call was hung up, Komnenos didn't understand a word and the translator wasn't even brought up in time.
"Are you done?" he asked.
"That's all." The duckling raised his head, "But I still need to fight one more, is that okay, Komnenos?"
Komnenos met her eyes, what else could he say?
"Go ahead."
The duck picked up the phone and entered a new number.
Komnenos on the other side looked down at the plate in front of her. The food on the plate was no longer hot. Did she really think it tasted bad?
Komnenos watched her talking on the phone and waved to his men.
After a while, his men came back with two boxes of pizza.
As the duckling sat there talking on the phone, Komnenos washed his hands, picked up a piece of pizza and stuffed it into her mouth.
"Hmm..." The duckling didn't even see what was being fed. It opened its mouth instinctively, but its speech became unclear after its mouth was blocked.
"Who? Who?" the person on the other end of the phone was still asking in horror.
"...I, I, little duck." The little duck spoke with difficulty while chewing.
Xing Siyun rolled over and got up from the bed: "Little duck? Are you okay? What happened to you? Why are you talking like that?"
It sounded like he was having difficulty breathing and couldn't speak coherently, which made Xing Siyun conjure up a horrifying picture in her mind.
“Because I’m eating.”
“…”
After a brief pause, Xing Siyun quickly regained her anxious voice: "I, I'll go find the Second Young Master right now..."
"No need to look for my second uncle, just sit down and listen to me." The child just swallowed a mouthful and finally spoke much more smoothly.
Hearing this, Xing Siyun instinctively obeyed her wishes and sat back down.
The Komnenos stuffed the pizza in again. The duckling tried to push it away but failed, so he had to reluctantly grab Komnenos' wrist and hang on it, then glared at him again.
Komnenos muttered to himself, quite cute.
He shook his head. "Who told you to be so small? You can't even swallow a bite of pizza?"
After saying that, he tore the pizza into even more pieces.
By the time Xiaoya and Xing Siyun finished their phone call, they were full.
I couldn't even help but burp softly on the phone.
Xing Siyun, who had trouble sleeping and eating these days, said: "..."
She had a complicated look on her face, and said cautiously, "Then, is that it?"
"Well, bye."
Xing Siyun let out a sigh of relief, thinking that it was rare for a kid to be so awesome!
Komnenos asked, "Have you figured out a solution?"
The duck nodded.
Komnenos picked her up and put her on his shoulders, then took her upstairs. "Come on, teach me Chinese."
He didn’t study it seriously before, but now that he studies it seriously... Komnenos realizes how damn difficult this thing is!
Komnenos' secretary slept until the middle of the night. He woke up in a daze and opened the email from his boss, which clearly stated that he would find three Chinese teachers for him.
secretary:?
Do you want to do business in China? That won't work. Our business in China will easily become the number one terrorist!

This was the umpteenth time that Wei Lin opened the bedroom door and was confronted by a sullen-faced bodyguard before he could even go out.
"I just want to meet the Second Young Master." Wei Lin forced a smile.
"The Second Young Master doesn't want to see you, lest someone say it's unfair, or that the Second Young Master is deliberately suppressing you..."
"Then give me the phone."
"This is for your own good. What if someone contacts you through your phone and then comes to rescue you without knowing the consequences? Wouldn't that confirm your guilt?"
"Then at least let me out of this door... What? I can't even get out of this door?"
"It's all for the sake of your innocence. Everyone you come into contact with may be framing you." The bodyguard was unmoved.
It's all for your sake.
All for you.
Wei Lin recalled the tricks he had used to treat the two brothers Wei Wenjun... The servants told them over and over again, "For the sake of your health" and "In order not to be disrespectful at the banquet."
On the contrary...
Things are changing!
He looked down at the wheelchair he was sitting in... Wei Wenjun's bullet pierced his calf, causing him to have a high fever for several days. Now he can't even walk and is forced to sit in a wheelchair.
Wei Lin bared his teeth hard and suppressed the anger in his heart.
He knew it was terrible!
When dealing with Wei Wenjun and his brother, we not only used soft knives to repeatedly tear open their wounds and push them into hell... In fact, the more important point was to prevent them from showing up in front of people again.
Humans are very realistic animals.
If he is unable to show up like he is now, his fans will naturally have endless speculations...
I wonder if he has lost his power...
This kind of speculation would make those people waver. Anyway, Wei Wenjuan was the orthodox of the Gui family, so it was no psychological burden for them to side with Wei Wenjuan.
The scariest thing is...
The project he is in charge of has had many problems recently.
It would be even more terrible if once we lose him, everyone found that not much has changed!
Any evidence or accusations are secondary, they can be mediated, but losing power is fatal!
This is the power of "house arrest"!
Where did it all go wrong?
He shouldn't have brought the duck back! But if he didn't bring the duck back... he wouldn't be able to get the money and equity in the fund...
Who would have thought that this kid not only had a wide network of contacts...but was also so cruel! He was so cruel to himself!
Wei Lin punched the wall.
The wind blew up the curtains, and he looked over. What he saw was not a clean glass window, but a wire mesh... It was like being imprisoned! Wei Lin cursed a few times.
Every day that followed was difficult.
Being locked up here, Wei Lin even lost track of time...
Just when his mental state was getting worse, and he just wanted Wei Wenjuan to find some evidence and let him out for questioning...
"The Second Young Master asked us to take you there." This time the door was opened from the outside.
Wei Lin's scattered mind was instantly focused.
"Let's go." He also straightened his tie.
Wei Lin was taken to the hall.
In the hall, the main members of the group's board of directors sat on both sides, and Wei Wenjun sat in the main seat. He no longer cared about others looking at his lame leg.
Whoever looks at him will be beaten.
Wei Lin took a deep breath and saw this situation, knowing that the final "judgment" was coming.
The servant pushed him forward, and he felt awkward and ashamed.
It was as if the roles with Wei Wenjun had been reversed.
And in full view of the public, he was forced to assume such a weak posture!
When he got closer, he could smell the faint smell of gunpowder on Wei Wenjuan. He felt the pain in his calf begin to ache again. But he still took out a rare stern attitude and said, "Second Young Master, have you found anything?"
Wei Wenjuan sneered: "You don't care about Xiaoya's safety at all, because you know clearly who holds her and what situation she is in, right?"
Wei Lin was speechless.
He was so confused by the imprisonment that he forgot the most crucial thing.
Wei Lin perked up: "Is the Second Young Master really worried about Xiaoya? I think the Second Young Master is thinking about how to convict me. Is Xiaoya really kidnapped? Or is it an excuse for the Second Young Master to seize power?"
"Seize power?" Wei Wenjuan sneered, "Who does the Gui family's property belong to? Does it belong to you? I am a legitimate member of the Gui family. How can I seize power from you? How can you have power that belongs to you? Don't you feel embarrassed when you say this?"
Wei Lin frowned.
I cursed in my heart again.
He had been locked up for too long and said something inappropriate. But he was not wrong. Wei Wenjuan was obviously trying to seize power! The board of directors was not stupid. They could see it!
Wei Lin lowered his head and said, "You are trying to seize my rights as the executive CEO. You don't have the final say over the Gui family's business. The old man is still here, so he has the final say."
"I wonder if the cruise ship case has been resolved these days?" Wei Lin looked around and deliberately asked about a major event in the group.
