Chapter 238 - Something Is Off By His Sudden Disappearance (1/2)
In the busy City A, after one night, it was filled with various sensational news.
First, it was about the unexpected death of Mr.Guo and second, it was about the Yue Crop's stock price plunging and getting into a dilemma.
...
The news of Mr.Guo's death had flooded on the internet for a day before it got washed over by the news regarding Wei Wan taking control of Mr.Guo's shares and property.
Everyone expected that she would make a big scene at Yue Crop or accuse them of her husband's death, but nothing that anyone predicted had happened. Instead, she sold her shares to some anonymous person secretly and stayed in a secluded area, hidden to the world.
When the news about the shares being transferred reached Yue Wan, she just pondered for a minute before ordering the Tao (or Cobra) to hack into Mr.Guo residence surveillance and Wei Wan's ȧssociation.
And to her surprise, the last person who had contact with her was none other than her stepbrother, the Second Young Master of Wei Jing (He was the one that was madly in love with Lu Meili)
Clicking the mouse to zoom in, Yue Wan closely examines the person's face: ”Who is he working for?”
A voice from the video chat replied: ”Mistress, I was unable to hack into that detail. Every time I track that anonymous person my system gets crashed by an unknown virus.”
Knowing that the other party had strong defensive technology, Yue Wan ordered him to lay back for a while and made a call to Tai Sun to help her out.
She knew that the damage caused by Mr.Guo's death had the potential to shake the whole of Yue Crop. 'What the hell is this Wei Wan is thinking?'
...
Due to the unexpected crisis that happened in the Yue Crop, the stock price had been on a constant downturn. At the same time, the Empire project which was working under Yue Xiang canceled their contract and changed their preference to work with the Li Crop.
The shareholders made some commotion to remove Yue Xiang as the project lead and some even suggested kicking him out.
Meanwhile, Yue Xiang left the country right after the crisis was broken out and no one knew his destination.
As the news traveled about Yue Xiang fleeing the country, it made some people happy, most notably, the Li family's Master, Li Zhi. After his son's imprisonment, the Li Crop was not about to get their hands on any powerful project and his son's marriage with Yue Xue didn't shake the Yue family as he expected.
Nevertheless, Mr.Guo's death brought him a great deal. So, in order to celebrate it, he even gave a big party in a lavish hotel the next day.
Standing at the balcony, two figures were in deep discussion.
Yue Xue in her backless party dress clicked her glass of wine with Li Rong and expressed her congratulation: ”Perhaps you're right! This marriage contract might come in handy soon.”
Li Rong took a sip, ”I want to see what kind of trick that b*tch has up her sleeve this time. Under her innocent appearance, she is hiding a devious plan.”
Yue Xue chuckled: ”You are wrong on one part. She can fool others, but she can't fool me! Also, I want to see who will help the Yue family at this time. Will it be the new Xiao Heir?”
”Why him?”
Touching the rim of her half-empty glass, Yue Xue's eyes narrowed: ”Don't you feel that he looks familiar to someone who worked in the Yue Crop. I feel something is off by his sudden disappearance.”
After hearing this, Li Rong was a little shocked. He pried into his memory and found nothing, except that night where he was punched by the Mysterious Man: 'Is it him!?'
After a second, Li Rong scoffed as he shook his head: ”She followed me like a puppy for four years, so I know the people who were close to her. This man doesn't exist in her books.”
Revealing her slender back, Yue Xue mocked: ”What about the time when you got kicked out of her book?”
Smirked, Li Rong ran his finger from her shoulder and slid it downward: ”How about we discuss this in my private room?”
