Chapter 80: V1: I will go on a business trip to France the day after tomorrow, would you like to join me_3

Inside the Maybach, He Qimo answered the call.

On the other side, Liang Xi’s voice was slightly anxious, "Mr. He, I’ve already sent someone to investigate. President Feng was playing golf with Mr. Pei and President An from the multinational company this afternoon. In the evening, he has been socializing at the International Hotel and hasn’t seen any sign of your wife."

Upon hearing this, He Qimo felt a wave of deeper silence as his heart slowly sank.

The quiet made Liang Xi uneasy, "Mr. He, what should we do now? Could she be back at the Gu Family house? Should I go to Vice Governor Gu’s house to check?"

He Qimo frowned, wanting to say it’s impossible because when Gu Zixuan left, there was blood on her face, and she wouldn’t want to worry her parents, so she definitely wouldn’t go home. That’s why he’s so anxious this time!

But he couldn’t explain this to Liang Xi.

He simply paused and said, "Forget it, you go rest. She’s probably at the Gu Family, I’ll go check myself."

"Alright, Mr. He. Anyway, no matter what, bring your wife back. She’s really devoted to you. You don’t even know, Madam and Miss, she..."

Halfway through speaking, Liang Xi seemed to realize he was saying too much, immediately fell silent, apologized, and quickly hung up.

The silence made the depths of He Qimo’s Mo Tong eyes even more profound.

Especially thinking about today at the He Mansion, several servants saw him, their eyes appeared hesitant to speak.

He pressed his thin lips together.

After a long while, he slowly dialed a private number at the He Mansion.

Ten minutes later, listening to the report on big and small matters over the past two years from the other side, his eyebrows tightened even more.

Until hearing about a few days ago when Gu Zixuan left home, seemingly having angrily slapped He Xiaoqi, then upon returning at night, her mother and He Xiaoqi had locked the door tightly, his Mo Tong eyes completely froze.

Ending the call, he lit a cigarette.

The flickering flame of the cigarette looked eerily alluring, smoke rings were exhaled one by one.

After a long time, when he’d finished the cigarette, he flicked the cigarette butt out the window, looking at a brightly lit area of the city, thinking about a name mentioned earlier over the private call.

Finally, his gaze settled on the documents from today’s meeting placed on the passenger seat, his eyes squinting.

With one press on the accelerator, he drove coldly towards a certain place.

...

Inside the Zhou Family villa, in the night, Zhou Xiao was looking at the red swelling on her face under the desk lamp. At her side, the timid maid Lili was watching her, "Miss Zhou, should we call the police for this?"

After all, she’s the daughter of the Jinhu District mayor, yet was caught and beaten so badly like this—it’s utter disregard for the law.

"Call the police for what? Just pretend you didn’t see it!"

Zhou Xiao covered her face, coldly spat out. fr eewe(b)nove.l.co\m

Thinking of the other person being Mr. Liang and today’s warning, Zhou Xiao could almost grind her teeth to dust.

But there’s nothing she can do. After all, Mr. Liang’s name is truly too influential; apart from the entertainment business, the Liang Family has even secured deals in local military district supplies. The power behind the Liang Family is always visible yet untouchable. freeNovelFire

Three months ago, the second young master of Lin Group engaged in foreign trade didn’t believe in deference and crossed Mr. Liang’s line. He indulged in assaulting female students at a KTV and even invited Mr. Liang to join, only to be beaten into the ICU of the central hospital by Mr. Liang and has yet to be discharged.

The scariest part is, with such a large industry as Lin Group, running back and forth to hospitals and police stations so many times, Mr. Liang didn’t even sit on the bench at the police station. Running so much, he nearly went from being a victim to a perpetrator, facing charges of [assault].

Swallowing her anger, Lili appeared somewhat aggrieved and indignant, "That’s suffocating."

"There’s nothing suffocating about it; that’s just society. Business doesn’t compete with government officials, officials don’t contend with the military, and definitely don’t entangle with mysterious forces. Luckily, they spared me some heavy hits, knowing that a face hit will subside in a few days. Just help me find a way to pacify my father."

Thinking about Miss Zhou’s sharp wit, Lili nodded, "Alright."

However, Zhou Xiao squinted her eyes, considering how Gu Zixuan managed to know such a person, her heart burned with jealousy like a hot cigarette butt, causing a tinge of pain.

Thinking about Mr. Liang’s attitude only deepened the mystery.

A breeze blew by, making the burning sensation on her face uncomfortable; she took a sip of her lips and started figuring out how to ice it to reduce the swelling.

But just then, the doorbell suddenly rang.

Who could it be? So late? Zhou Xiao felt an inexplicable stir of anxiety in her heart, stood up, and walked gracefully to the window, pulling open the white curtain to take a look downstairs.
