Upon hearing this, Li Jingchen scoffed.
He didn't mean to mock her; he just found her words funny, naively funny.
"She's thinking about how to seize your family fortune, and you're actually protecting her."
“I’ve spent a lot of time and I’m almost convinced her to leave Song Zhiren, break up with him, and work for me. I promise she’ll have a successful career.”
She said, with a hint of sarcasm, "I didn't expect you to send her back to Song Zhiren."
Li Jingchen hadn't expected it to be like this.
He sighed softly, took her hand, and said earnestly, "I didn't. I was just helping to find Song Zhiren's whereabouts."
Song Nuan sneered inwardly. What did she say again?
She pulled her hand back and looked at him coldly. "So what you just said was a test? You think I know Song Zhiren's whereabouts and you're trying to trick me into telling the truth?"
That's not what I meant.
"But that's exactly what you planned to do, and I haven't wronged you about that, have I?"
Li Jingchen was unable to defend himself.
He was always extra careful when speaking to people he cared about, even deliberating over punctuation marks. He opened his mouth, but when he saw her angry eyes, he swallowed his explanation back down.
Song Nuan stood up, and the stool dragged a short distance on the ground as she moved.
"I'm stuffed."
After saying that, she turned and went upstairs.
Given the current state of their strained relationship, misunderstandings cannot be allowed to linger overnight, or more trouble will ensue.
Realizing this, Li Jingchen got up, but before he could take his first step, his phone rang.
It was Lin Xuan's call.
"What's up?"
“Zhong Guan has come to the company.” Lin Xuan’s voice was very low, as if he were whispering somewhere. “He rushed into the conference room and said he wanted to see you, and questioned you about where you had hidden Zhong Qingya.”
"There are several directors in the meeting room, and the situation has become very ugly."
Li Jingchen frowned deeply.
"Has Zhong Guan gone mad?"
These were also the words Lin Xuan wanted to say. From the very first second that Zhong Guan appeared and caused trouble, he had mentally cursed Zhong Guan a thousand times over with these words.
He grabbed his keys and headed out, saying, "Get him under control no matter what, and take him to my office. I'm coming now."
Lin Xuan had just opened his mouth when the call was disconnected.
Helplessly, he put away his phone, stared at a white wall with a ferocious expression, on the verge of tears, but as he turned away, he instantly regained his capable demeanor.
He smiled politely, "Mr. Zhong."
"Where is Li Jingchen? Where exactly is he locking my daughter up? Is this how he treats his future wife and me, his future father-in-law?"
Zhong Guan became increasingly angry as he spoke, slamming his fist on the table.
Some irrelevant management personnel have been removed from the meeting room; those sitting still now are all shareholders.
Some shareholders were simply there to watch the drama unfold, while others were drawn by Zhong Guan's remarks—he spoke sternly, saying that if they didn't get an explanation today, he would expose the incident to the media.
I've already thought of a title.
The fiancée of the CEO of the Li Group has disappeared without a trace.
These few words alone are enough to plunge Li's shareholders into a state of great instability.
Moreover, the person who is starting this uprising is none other than Zhong Guan, a shareholder of the largest company in Kyoto. It is a joke for the Li family to try to fight against him when public opinion is unfavorable.
Moreover, the term "disappearance without cause" can lead to many more serious versions.
Domestic violence or abuse?
The secrets of the wealthy are always a focus of attention for most ordinary people. Even though the lives of the wealthy are no different from those of ordinary people, once public opinion is stirred up, there are always malicious conspiracy versions that speculate about everything with the utmost malice.
"President Zhong, don't worry, President Li is on his way."
Lin Xuan said politely, "Please come to the president's office first. President Li has prepared some things for you, and you need to take a look at them first."
"What is that?"
Lin Xuan: "You'll find out when you get there."
Zhong Guan had seen his share of big events, and Lin Xuan's little tricks couldn't fool him.
"Assistant Lin, get this straight, it's your turn to solve my problem. I just want my daughter, I don't want to see what he's going to prepare for me."
"If he wants me to see it, he should bring it over."
Lin Xuan was in a real bind.
That's why people say the most annoying thing is to run into seasoned veterans in the workplace. They have a lot of experience but usually lack empathy. Although Zhong Guan isn't a workplace person, he's just as cunning.
Snap—
Just then, the conference room door was pushed open.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound.
Li Jingchen stood at the door, his eyes cold. "If President Zhong wants to find his daughter, then come with me. If you're just using the excuse of finding your daughter to cause trouble, then do as you please."
He ordered, "Lin Xuan, let's go."
Upon hearing this, Lin Xuan left without a word, carrying the documents, without giving Zhong Guan even a second glance.
"you!"
Zhong Guan was so angry that he stood up abruptly, but he used too much force and his vision went black. He then plopped back down in his chair.
During this short break, Li Jingchen and Lin Xuan had already disappeared.
He paused for a moment, then said, "You're really something, Li Jingchen!"
Zhong Guan raised his hand, and his accompanying assistant immediately stepped forward to help him up, carefully, for fear that he might faint from a sudden surge of anger.
Inside the elevator.
Lin Xuan asked, "Should we send someone to release Miss Zhong?"
“No need.” Li Jingchen’s eyes darkened. “Since Zhong Guan personally went to Liangcheng, it proves that he has enough evidence. Go and find out who leaked the information and replace all the bodyguards.”
"good."
Lin Xuan continued, "Should we continue investigating President Ouyang's matter?"
After learning that Song Nuan was hiding in the Song family, Lin Xuan began to investigate Song Zhiren. Logically speaking, Song Zhiren and Song Nuan had a very bad relationship, so it was impossible for Song Zhiren to allow her to hide in the Song family.
Sure enough, two days after Song Nuan disappeared, Song Zhiren drove towards the Li Group.
Unfortunately, their car was stopped halfway through the journey, and then they disappeared without a trace.
Lin Xuan recognized the carjacker; he was one of Ouyang Zhoujing's bodyguards. He had seen him a few times before, so he recognized him.
Li Jingchen: "Investigate."
"good."
“Go to Wanhua Garden to investigate. Zhong Qingya is being held there. I rarely go there. If Zhou Jing wants to imprison Song Zhiren without me finding out, Wanhua Garden is the best place.”
Lin Xuan blurted out, "President Ouyang doesn't know that Miss Zhong is at Wanhua Garden either."
After he finished speaking, there was silence.
Li Jingchen frowned and turned to look at him.
Lin Xuan clearly thought of something too, his expression strange. Judging from Li Jingchen's expression, it was clear that the two of them were thinking the same thing.
He hesitated and said, "When we sent Miss Zhong to Wanhua Garden, President Ouyang wasn't there. He probably didn't know about it."
Li Jingchen scoffed.
When there's no certainty, anything is possible.
"If he knew, then it makes sense that he was the one who leaked the news that I had placed Zhong Qingya under house arrest to Zhong Guan."
Lin Xuan: "But he is, after all, one of the four great families."
The four major families?
The four major families should have split up long ago.
If Ouyang Zhoujing had considered the honor and interests of his family, he wouldn't have repeatedly gone against him, or even tried to take Song Nuan from him.
"Investigate this matter discreetly, and go directly to Ouyang Zhoujing."
