Chapter 167: Chapter 165: Failure

Long Chen’s relaxed demeanor infected Xia Ling.

Seeing Long Chen so confident, Xia Ling felt her worries significantly eased.

"You bad guy, do you really want to have fun in the office?"

Xia Ling looked at Long Chen seductively, "Just don’t chicken out if I get excited later."

"How could I?" Long Chen reached out, gently pulled her, and Xia Ling obediently took her seat in Long Chen’s arms.

She tilted her head back slightly, gazed at Long Chen, and chuckled, "Then, since I can’t resist, I can only let you pluck me."

Pluck me?

Long Chen was amused.

"A cultured girl is different indeed, the more you look, the more flavor she has."

Long Chen reached out and pinched her chin.

Xia Ling closed her eyes slightly, cooed, "As for what flavor, you, haven’t tasted yet."

These flirtatious words immediately stoked the flames in Long Chen’s heart.

With a wave of his hand, the office door closed remotely.

But Xia Ling didn’t notice this detail.

Next, Long Chen cradled Xia Ling’s pretty face and slowly leaned down.

Thump, thump.

Just then, the office door was knocked on.

Xia Ling took a deep breath, opened her eyes, and said seriously, "Whatever it is, it can wait."

"Xia... Xia Ling, how long until we can talk?"

From outside came a timid voice.

Hearing this question, Xia Ling couldn’t help but glance at Long Chen and asked softly, "How long do you need? Is three minutes enough?"

Long Chen, filled with black lines on hearing that, said, "Three minutes? Who are you looking down on? Tell her to come back in two hours."

"Giggles, okay then."

Xia Ling immediately told the person outside to come back in two hours.

Thus, the outside calmed down.

Long Chen then continued what he wanted to do.

The office door was knocked on once more.

Long Chen took a deep breath and gritted his teeth.

Xia Ling also looked toward the door with a flushed face and slight irritation, "What now?"

"Xia Ling, it’s not that I don’t want to wait two hours, but there’s a real emergency now."

The outside voice sounded almost crying in urgency.

"What’s the emergency?"

Xia Ling asked, trying to be patient, one hand still pinching Long Chen’s ear.

The voice outside immediately said, "Our cargo sent to the Chou country was hijacked at sea."

"What?"

Xia Ling was startled and immediately sat up straight.

It was at this point that Long Chen completely lost his composure.

"Serious matters are important."

Long Chen straightened his clothes and sat upright.

Xia Ling quickly opened the door and let the secretary outside in.

The beautiful secretary glanced at Long Chen and understood the situation.

But right now, she didn’t dare to gossip and said anxiously, "The cargo is worth hundreds of millions; just like that, it’s been hijacked. Should we call the police?"

"Of course, we should..."

"Wait." Long Chen spoke up seriously, "Don’t rush. We’ve been doing this so long without a single incident. Now, just as the Nangong Family shows up, our cargo gets hijacked at sea. It’s not just a coincidence; I suspect it was done by someone from the Nangong Family."

Hearing this, Xia Ling was shocked, "Now that you mention it, I also think the Nangong Family is highly suspicious."

"Xia Ling, arrange another meeting with Nangong Wei. If it’s the Nangong Family’s doing or not, one test will tell."

Long Chen said sternly.

He possessed the Heart Listening Technique, knowing the truth would be easy.
