Chapter 258 - SHOW HIM AROUND (1/2)
Zhong Feng listened to his mother explaining the situation without a change in his expression. He had not expected that Song Lili would become impatient so quickly and seek out an alternative way to use her blackmail material.
However, he had considered the possibility.
Still, when he heard the demands that Song Lili had presented, he raised an eyebrow. Fifteen per cent of Zhong Industries was not a small figure. After all, the corporation had a lot of subsidiaries in numerous industries around the world.
This demand was quite bold.
Unfortunately, there would be no negotiation. Song Lili had no power.
”What do you think we should do?” Chu Ling asked with caution. She was willing to accept Zhong Feng's decision because she felt that it was her fault that Song Lili had taken the drastic steps that could destroy their family.
”I am a little busy at the company right now.” Zhong Feng while pressing his forehead lightly to ward off the stress headache. ”Xiao Lei will come by the house within the hour and sort out the matter.”
Chu Ling wanted to ask her son what Hu Lei could do to deal with Song Lili. In the end, only Zhong Feng could convince Song Lili to drop her ridiculous attempt at blackmail or encourage her to raise other demands.
However, she did not dare to speak her mind.
The subject of Hu Lei had brought tension between her and Zhong Feng in the past. After she and Zhong Tian had apologised to Hu Lei, their relationship had improved a little bit. He had even been willing to leave them with Hu Fai.
If she started questioning him about Hu Lei and how she could deal with Song Lili, there was no doubt that Zhong Feng would be displeased.
So, Chu Ling chose to trust her son.
”Alright. I will be waiting. For now, we will hold Song Lili. But we can't do so for too long, or it might be considered kidnapping.” She sighed.
After Zhong Feng ended the call, he texted Hu Lei, letting her know of the general situation. He did not want to call her because he was afraid that he would distract her. He knew that she was already on her way back from the Song's ancestral home.
After a careful search, she had found a memory stick and a few other things. If they were right, they had all the blackmail material that Song Lili had hidden. Moreover, if they didn't, they had enough dirt on Song Lili to shut her down permanently.
It was time to get rid of Song Lili permanently.
Zhong Feng smiled as he put his phone away. Despite the circumstances, he had enjoyed the week with his cute wife. He had never thought that cooperating on something nefarious with Hu Lei could be so much fun.
”Your relationship with my junior sister is truly something special.” An annoying voice said before laughing vulgarly.
Zhong Feng looked at the man who was walking around his office as if he owned it, touching this and that with interest. The simple process seemed innocuous, but Zhong Feng was not fooled. As soon as the man left, he would have the room swept for bugs.
”Don't you have any other place to be?” He asked the pompous and suspicious person.
”How can you ask that, brother-in-law? I came here specifically to accompany you. If you would like, I can help you with your work.” Kaito struck a pose. ”I might be handsome, but my brainpower is incomparable.”
Zhong Feng massaged his temples. Even if he lost his mind, he would not allow this person near his work. This type of small-minded person would probably destroy Zhong Industries just for the sake of seeing the fallout.
Unfortunately, even though he was left to do nothing, he would still affect the progress of his work. It was difficult to relax when one of the deadliest ȧssassins in the world was walking around, even though he did not have an interest in killing him.
Suddenly, an idea came to him.
”Now that you are in Supreme City, shouldn't you relax a little?” Zhong Feng spoke uncharacteristically. It was obvious that his little wife had influenced him quite a bit.
Kaito felt like there was a trap in the words, but he could not help taking the bait. ”What do you mean?”
