Chapter 130 The Phone Call
Xin Que frowned when she saw the middle-aged man surrounded by bodyguards outside the door through the door frame.
“Miss Xin,” Luo Wenyong sat in the middle of the only sofa in the apartment, his posture exuding the contempt of a superior looking down on an inferior, “I heard that my adopted nephew has been getting entangled with you lately?”
Ignoring the menacing and imposing bodyguards around him, Xin Que scrutinized Luo Wenyong from head to toe, "Are you Luo Huayi's second uncle?"
Luo Wenyong choked.
This woman is completely different from what the data says.
The eldest daughter of the Xin family, ostracized, lacking love, withdrawn, and timid...
I didn't see any qualities in Xin Que that were related to those words at all.
“Miss Xin is truly calm under pressure,” Luo Wenyong said with a forced smile. “I just wonder if your composure can last until the day your father goes bankrupt?”
Xin Que "..."
She looked incredulous, her expression shifting several times before finally settling on speechlessness. "You're threatening me with Xin Fengcheng?"
Luo Wenyong wisely stopped talking, leaving the conversation open to add a sense of tension to the game.
Xin Que couldn't believe it. "Are you serious?"
Luo Wenyong's lips curled up slightly. "What, are you panicking now? Why weren't you..."
"Taking down Xin Fengcheng alone isn't enough!" Xin Que slammed his fist on the table, filled with righteous indignation. "If I were you, I'd wipe out the whole family!"
Luo Wenyong: "???"
Xin Que quickly grabbed the A4 paper from the table and slapped it in front of Luo Wenyong. "Xin Fengcheng's address is here. He, his precious little daughter, and his wife almost never live in other properties."
The contempt on Luo Wenyong's face gradually cracked.
“Actually, I have a foolproof plan,” Xin Que wrote fluently, “If you want to get rid of Xin Fengcheng, you’d better start with his daughter, and then follow Sun Xinyue’s lead to take down all three of them at once… understand?”
“I had already scouted the place beforehand. If I hadn’t been too cowardly to kill these people, would it have been your turn?” A sinister glint flashed across Xin Que’s face.
Luo Wenyong slowly widened his eyes, then leaned back tactically.
"Car accidents, fires, explosions—do whatever you want with them."
“In your world… cough, in this city, dealing with this nouveau riche family who doesn’t even rank in the top tier is a piece of cake.” Xin Que slammed her pen down on the table with a loud “bang!”
Based on Xin Que's experience, dealing with this brainless villainous family wouldn't even require deploying snipers.
The way the bodyguards looked at Xin Que changed.
Did you run into a competitor?
It took Luo Wenyong a long time to come to his senses.
This data is not only inaccurate, it has absolutely nothing to do with Xin Que!
"You..." Luo Wenyong finally regained the authority he had when he first entered the room. He glanced coldly at Xin Que, "The Xin family truly has excellent upbringing!"
Xin Que completely ignored Luo Wenyong's sarcasm, and instead smiled and directly expelled herself from the Xin family, saying, "I unilaterally declare that from today onwards, I am no longer a member of the Xin family."
"Go for it! I'm waiting for your good news."
Luo Wenyong "..."
What was he doing here?
"You're deliberately changing the subject," Luo Wenyong forced his wandering thoughts back, "Are you feigning composure to mislead me?"
Xin Que gave a forced smile and said, "These days, sincerity is becoming increasingly worthless."
She poured her heart and soul into giving Luo Wenyong her proposals, but unfortunately, he wasn't looking to be the client.
...
"Didn't I tell you to rest at home? Why are you back at the company?" Luo Hua asked, puzzled, as Cheng Zheng returned to work after only half a day of rest.
Cheng Zheng remained calm, saying, "Work is important."
When Luo Huayi heard Cheng Zheng's voice, which had no nasal tone, she subconsciously felt that something was wrong. "Didn't you catch a cold from being in the cold storage?"
Cheng Zheng continued tidying up the files as usual, his expression unchanged upon hearing this. "I also find it strange. Maybe it's because it's the height of summer and the weather is hot... Once it warms up, it'll be fine."
Luo Huayi didn't think much of it.
Since Cheng Zheng started working for him, he has only taken a handful of sick leave days.
This person's physical fitness is among the best in the group he knows. Even Cheng Zheng himself sometimes jokes that he has a natural working physique.
Luo Huayi signed the last document. "Okay. The promised sick leave allowance will still be paid as usual."
Just as Cheng Zheng was about to exchange pleasantries with his boss, the office door was pushed open by his secretary, who rushed in. "Is President Luo here?"
"I'm sorry," the secretary said, clearly having rushed over. Seeing that Luo Huayi and Cheng Zheng were both there, she didn't care about being offensive. "But... the receptionist said she received a call from a man who claimed to be Luo Wenyong."
The pen in Luo Huayi's hand smudged a small patch of ink on the paper. "Luo Wenyong?"
The secretary was startled by the boss's sudden change in expression. "Yes, I heard Assistant Cheng mention his name before, so I came to inform you immediately..."
Cheng Zheng immediately asked, "What did he say?"
The secretary looked a little strange. After hesitating for a while, he finally spoke, "He said he wants to meet with President Luo alone at the Luo family's old residence."
"And before you refuse, you'd better consider... the safety of that rumored girlfriend."
After the secretary left, Cheng Zhengcai spoke up, "Wasn't Mr. Luo always abroad...? Why would he suddenly return to China?"
"The rumored girlfriend he's referring to is... Xin Que?!"
Cheng Zheng's expression turned grave. "He kidnapped Miss Xin?"
Luo Huayi was surprisingly calm. "His domestic power has long since collapsed. If he still wants to take the Luo family back from me, he won't casually target his own people."
Luo Wenyong, who considers himself the last heir of the Luo family, was defeated and forced to go abroad by Luo Huayi's desperate counterattack, and has been making constant underhanded moves ever since.
This time, I can only be here for the Luo family's wealth.
Luo Huayi pinched the bridge of her nose.
He knew Xin Que's skills; he wouldn't be easily captured by Luo Wenyong.
He recalled the numerous rumors that had arisen between him and Xin Que because of the plot, and following that line of thought, he guessed that Luo Wenyong had approached her because of those things on the internet.
Luo Huayi felt a sudden surge of anxiety for no apparent reason.
Those marketing accounts should have been suppressed long ago.
“Mr. Luo,” Cheng Zheng tentatively began, “Miss Xin has too many secrets that cannot be made public. If we want to save her, we may not be able to call the police and make a big fuss about this…”
Luo Huayi snapped out of her daze and said, "Immediately arrange for someone to go find Xin Que."
He tossed the pen he was holding onto the table, grabbed his car keys, and stood up. "I'm going to see Luo Wenyong."
Cheng Zheng was taken aback. "You're going by yourself? No, what if he's lying in ambush..."
Luo Huayi walked quickly, "There's no time to hesitate, what if Xin Que is really in his hands..."
The man's anxiety grew stronger and stronger.
"Saving lives is the priority."
Cheng Zheng immediately went to the security department to request manpower to find the person.
"Meet at the Luo family's old house," Luo Huayi said, heading straight for the underground parking lot.
