Chapter 629: Chapter 629: Stupid and Disgusting

At 3 p.m., the headquarters of Qianmu Group.

A red Ferrari stopped downstairs.

Li Qiao got out of the car, looked up at the towering building while carrying a small suitcase, and walked in without glancing sideways.

In the top-floor private meeting room, Li Qiao sat down serenely.

She placed her suitcase at the corner of the table, crossed her legs, took out her phone, and started playing games.

At the same time, multiple security guards poured out of the lobby downstairs, standing guard at each entrance, ready for whatever might come.

In the boss’s office, Gu Chenn propped his legs up on the desk, a toothpick between his lips as he watched the live surveillance footage on his phone, scoffing, "Is she too ashamed to show her face? Wearing a mask in broad daylight?"

Liu Zinan pinched his left wrist with his right hand, his face deathly pale.

The morning’s presentation had ended amidst a cacophony of ridicule.

Qianmu Group had suffered a heavy loss.

All the smart prosthetic components that had been put into production were now on full stop.

The governor of Aida State had also personally called to ask about the situation and stated that if the impact of this event couldn’t be settled, they would not rule out expelling Qianmu Group from this industrial sector.

Until this moment, Yin Mo, the person in charge of Xiao’s Technology, was still being held in the underground room of the conference center.

Judging by President Gu’s intentions, it seemed very likely that she would be made an example of, to kill the chicken to warn the monkey.

Xiao Yehui was that monkey.

Liu Zinan took a step forward and suggested softly, "President Gu, with the Chairman Family behind Xiao’s Technology, if we really take action against Manager Yin, the consequences..."

Gu Chenn glared at him and spat the toothpick from his mouth to the ground, "Do you think I’d be scared?"

"This... She is after all from Xiao’s. If something were to happen to her, I’m worried that the Chairman Family might try everything to drive us out. After all, they have the backing of the Royal Family and are on very good terms with the Aida State Government."

Gu Chenn swung his legs from the table and glanced at Liu Zinan, "Then just as well, we can return to our old trade."

Liu Zinan: "..."

Selling fried rice, is that it?

Gu Chenn narrowed his eyes, "No reply from the Black Hawk guys yet?"

Liu Zinan grew solemn, shaking his head, "I asked Mr. Meng’s assistant; they just told me to wait for news."

"Damn it."

Gu Chenn cursed under his breath, his expression growing darker, "Go, take a few people to the meeting room and have a chat with that woman. See what she’s made of. If she won’t spill the beans, teach her a lesson."

...

Meanwhile, in the underground room of the conference center, a dim floor lamp shone a dull light, while particles of dust could be faintly seen floating in the air.

Yin Mo sat on a wooden crate, staring ahead, her phone on speaker. Xiao Yehui’s gentle, leisurely voice came through, "Seeing her, what did you feel?"

"No feeling." Yin Mo’s response was swift and her calm expression remained unswayed.

Xiao Yehui chuckled softly, yet his tone was icy cold, "Since there’s no feeling, then why did you crush the listening device? Yin Mo, you always contradict yourself, foolish and off-putting."

Yin Mo looked down at the tips of her shoes; even faced with such harsh sarcasm, she remained indifferent, "Didn’t you send me to Aida State to test my loyalty to you? If I hadn’t crushed the listener, how could I have made her... believe me?"

"So, do you think you’ve earned her trust?"

Yin Mo was silent for a moment, then replied with composure, "No."

Hearing this, Xiao Yehui let out a sigh of disappointment, "I really don’t know how my father managed to train such a waste like you to be my right-hand man.

"You deal with the public speaking event yourself. If you can survive, come back to report as soon as possible."

Yin Mo turned her head to look at the smartphone by her leg, her eyes brimming with sarcasm, "And if I can’t survive?"

She angered Gu Chenn and had all of her colleagues who accompanied her withdraw.

Xiao Yehui left her alone under Gu Chenn’s watch, clearly letting her clean up the mess.

At that moment, an elderly yet reverent voice came through the handset, "Eldest Young Master, the afternoon tea is ready."

Yin Mo’s fingertips instantly curled, recognizing her mother’s voice.

Xiao Yehui placed the smartphone on the table and looked at the woman in maid’s clothes before him, "Aunt Yin, thank you for your hard work."

"Eldest Young Master, you are too polite. It’s all my duty," Mother Yin replied with a kind smile, still holding a silver tray in her hands as she walked up, chattering, "You’ve been leaving early and returning late these days; the madam and sir have noticed and are very concerned. This medicinal cake for afternoon tea was specially made by the madam. Please eat more of it."

Xiao Yehui took the tray from Mother Yin’s hands, nodding with an apologetic expression, "Aunt Yin, there’s something... for which I may have to apologize to you."

"What happened? Did Mohmoh make a mistake again?"

Xiao Yehui gently shook his head, his tone filled with melancholy, "She hasn’t done anything wrong. It’s just due to my neglect that she’s fallen into danger, and right now... she can’t extricate herself."

Mother Yin paused for a second, "Fallen into danger, is it very dangerous?"

"It’s hard to say for the moment, but don’t worry, Aunt Yin. I will do everything in my power to save her."

This conversation made Yin Mo stiffen, shivering with cold.

After a rustling sound, Xiao Yehui lifted the phone to his ear again, "Did you hear all that? If you can’t survive, I’ll join Aunt Yin in burying you."

...

In the Qianmu Group conference room, Li Qiao sat at the head of the table, eyeing Liu Zinan and the others, her eyebrows slightly raised, "Where’s Gu Chenn?"

Liu Zinan laughed sardonically, his arms crossed and spread on the table, "Miss, President Gu is very busy. It’s the same if you talk to me. Just tell me the inside story of the public speaking event, and we won’t make things difficult for you."

Li Qiao impatiently curled her lips, exited the mobile game she was playing, and dialed Gu Chenn directly.

The call went unanswered.

Seeing this, Liu Zinan’s laughter grew wild, as he drummed his knuckles on the table, "My dear girl, stop your futile struggles. If you don’t spill the beans today, you won’t walk out of Qianmu Group’s doors."

Li Qiao ran out of patience. Without a word, she picked up her small case and headed for the door.

Liu Zinan had never seen such an arrogant little girl.

He waved his hand, and several staff members immediately stepped forward and surrounded her, "Miss, if you don’t accept the toast, you’ll have to face the consequences..."

Three minutes later, Li Qiao walked out the door.

She headed straight for the elevator and went to the boss’s office on the top floor.

Meanwhile, in the conference room, Liu Zinan and the other five staff members were lying on the ground, bruised and swollen.

At that moment, Gu Chenn stood with his arms crossed, leaning against his boss chair with his eyes closed, feigning sleep.

The door opened, but he didn’t open his eyes. Twisting his neck, he asked in a low voice, "Did she talk?"

Soft footsteps approached. Gu Chenn furrowed his brows. Without opening his eyes, he heard a clang, an object was thrown onto his desk.

Gu Chenn’s eyelid twitched, and as he opened his eyes, he saw Li Qiao taking a seat opposite him on the boss’s desk.

His expression turned stern, "Who let you
