Chapter 102 You Clearly Like It Very Much! (2/2)

”But you're getting paid!” Young Master Shen pointed at Ah Nan. ”But what about me? I'm literally doing free service!”

Ying Qingcang regarded the deadbeat way Yong Master Shen acted. After a while, he said, ”You're right. It's been tough on you these days.”

”You see! I told you!” Young Master Shen added hurriedly, ”How are you planning to thank me, then?”

”I'll arrange a vacation for you!” Ying Qingcang said.

Young Master Shen regarded him for a long while. He stood up. ”No thanks. I can plan my own vacation.” He turned to leave.

”Why, since when have you become so smart?” Ying Qingcang asked with mild surprise.

Young Master Shen rolled his eyes. ”Hehe. Considering how despicable you are, I bet this vacation will take place in France. While I'm enjoying this vacation, I should take care of Xiao Qingqing on your behalf, am I right?”

”You're wrong,” Ying Qingcang said in a serious tone. ”That wasn't my plan at all. And speaking of taking care, it's still uncertain who you'll end up having to take care of once you're there.”

Young Master Shen's eyes shone brightly. ”Where are you sending me off to?”

Ying Qingcang tossed a folder to him. ”This is what I've got on William. Take a look.”

”Just one sheet?” Young Master Shen took out a piece of paper from the folder.

There were only a few lines on the paper, containing William's date of birth, location of birth, his educational background, his current occupation and also a brief introduction of his family background.

”This is all we can find no matter how hard we tried,” Ah Nan said, feeling a bit ashamed. There was nothing at all in that information that they could use.

Young Master Shen frowned. ”This is way too suspicious.”

”So you find it suspicious too!” Ying Qingcang leaned back in his chair. ”How could anyone's background be so clean? And let's not forget the fact that he is a British nobility through and through. His status and position doesn't match anything on that piece of paper at all.”

Young Master Shen chuckled humorlessly. ”So... This is a fake. It's been fabricated.”

”What type of person can you think of that would require him to fake his entire life story?” Ying Qingcang said. ”Nobody knows what he's really hiding. Hell, even his current identity could be a fake.”

”You want me to go to England?” Young Master Shen looked at him. ”You know I don't have much influence in England.”

Ying Qingcang shook his head. ”No. You need to go back to New York.”

”No!” Young Master Shen balked at the mere notion of returning to his home.

”You have to go back. It's much easier for you to dig up something useful once you're back at your home base!” Ying Qingcang shot a glance at him.

Young Master Shen contemplated silently. ”So what you're saying is that this William is connected to the mob?”

”I don't know,” Ying Qingcang said with a shake of his head. ”But since we can't find out anything on our own, we can only ask your old man for help.”

Young Master Shen planted himself face-first onto the couch. ”Argh... I don't want to go back and see him!”

”Fine. Then I'll go. You stay here and take the helm of Ying Enterprises.”

Young Master Shen jumped to his feet. ”No, dont. I'll go. You stay back!” After that, he ran out without a single backward glance.

”It's like he's afraid to stay here. What did you do to him?”

Ah Nan rolled his eyes. ”Nothing. The main reason is that our floor is full of men. He said he'd go nuts if he hung around men all day.”

Ah Nan changed the subject. ”Young master, shall I post the photo of your stay in the young miss' home onto the academy's website?”

Ying Qingcang thought for a moment before shaking his head. ”No need. That family picture last time had done its job. Now everyone will know that she's a married woman. There's no need to post any more photos in the future.”

”There's one other thing,” Ah Nan said, stroking her chin. ”Xin Haoyu's dead.”

Ying Qingcang frowned. After a while he asked, ”How did he die?”

”We sent out a couple of guys to encourage his gambling. But he ended up owing money to a bunch of loan sharks. He was hacked to pieces.”

Ying Qingcang nodded. ”And Zhao Jiali?”

”She has a sugar daddy now. Some old man, a nouveau riche from the north. She looks like she's living a good life. She's staying at a villa. Her daily activities consist of shopping and card games.”

”Her comfort is my discomfort,” Ying Qingcang said, smiling. ”Find something to entertain her. We don't want her to live too freely that she ends up forgetting the debts she still owes.”

On the other side of the Pacific Ocean, Xin Qing had no idea that Xin Yudie was the lone survivor of the Xin family. She kept herself busy in the library every day doing research. During that time, Meyer brought her lunch. Her busy life caught up to her, since she completely forgot about Ying Qingcang's warning.

Stay away from Meyer...
