Chapter 6819
My Wife's Hard Work
Upon hearing this, Liu Jianming felt a chill run up his spine, causing him to shudder and tremble uncontrollably.
He quickly straightened up, his face plastered with a mixture of fear and obsequious smiles, and said, "That's too much..."
Mr. Xiao, I really don't know the specifics.
All I know is that the company that acquired Ms. Jiang's company is a very powerful company in the ancient city called 'Nanlai Group'.
The Nanlai Group is a very prestigious company in the ancient city, with intricate connections to various families and businesses, holding a pivotal position in the business world…
Who is the CEO of Nanlai Group?
Xiao Chen's gaze was sharp and unwavering as he asked another question.
Although his voice was not loud, it carried an irresistible authority, as if every word carried immense force, striking straight into people's hearts.
Liu Jianming was startled by the gaze and voice. He quickly bowed slightly, his face plastered with a fawning smile, and cautiously replied, "It seems to be a former vice president of Xinmeng Group in the western region, named Di Lang."
As he spoke, he secretly observed Xiao Chen's reaction, his eyes filled with trepidation and unease.
Xiao Chen's already gloomy face became even colder the moment he heard that name.
The air around him seemed to freeze instantly, as if time itself had stopped flowing at that moment.
An invisible, bone-chilling killing intent spread out as if it were a real thing, like a sudden blizzard, causing the surrounding temperature to drop sharply and making people shiver.
This name is already etched into his bones and flowing in his blood!
In countless days and nights of recollection, this name was like a sharp thorn, deeply embedded in his heart, constantly pricking him.
The image of Di Lang involuntarily appeared in his mind.
This Di Lang seems to be a subordinate that Jiang Meng trusted a lot in the past, and someone she promoted step by step from the bottom!
At that time, Jiang Meng recognized Di Lang's diligence and ambition, and thought he was a promising talent. So she spared no effort in nurturing him and provided him with many valuable opportunities and resources.
Jiang Meng values this person highly. Whether it's important project decisions or key business negotiations, she always takes Di Lang with her, allowing him to grow and improve through practical experience.
But who would have thought that Jiang Meng had only been gone for a short time before this kid rebelled?
Xiao Chen was burning with rage, his eyes flashing with fury as if he wanted to burn everything in front of him to ashes.
He secretly vowed to make the person who betrayed Jiang Meng pay a terrible price.
Ling Xiao stood to the side, his eyes as cold as an ice cellar in winter, devoid of any warmth.
He thought to himself: Does he really think that no one will care if he does something like this?
His wife wasn't around, so he took over.
He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white from the force, as if accumulating boundless power, ready to explode at any moment.
Looking at Xiao Chen's terrifyingly gloomy face, Liu Jianming was terrified, fearing that he might say something wrong that would bring about his death.
He hurriedly added, "There must be someone behind this Di Lang. I have seen him groveling and serving a mysterious person many times!"
That fawning, treacherous face, like a poisoned brand, is deeply etched into my soul; I remember it vividly!
Every time I see him like that, I feel disgusted. I never imagined he could be such an ungrateful and despicable person.
"hehe!"
Xiao Chen let out a cold laugh, a laugh so chilling and piercing it seemed to come from the depths of hell. His chilling killing intent grew even more violent, like an impending storm threatening to destroy the entire world.
An invisible vortex seemed to form around his body, emanating a chilling aura.
"Xiao Chen..."
Just as the surging malevolent energy was about to burst out of his body and completely engulf Xiao Chen, a cool and soft hand gently covered his clenched fist.
It is Yun Yuyan.
Her voice was soft and warm, like a spring breeze gently caressing Xiao Chen's heart, offering a small measure of comfort to his extremely angry heart.
That cool warmth was like a clear spring, carrying a strange calming power, flowing gently through Xiao Chen's heart, which was filled with burning hatred.
It was like a pair of gentle yet powerful hands, instantly piercing through the surging hatred like boiling magma, and abruptly pulling Xiao Chen back from that bloody abyss of rage.
Xiao Chen felt a buzzing in his head, as if a bucket of cold water had been poured over him, and he suddenly came back to his senses.
He blinked unconsciously, and the turbulent redness in his eyes receded quickly like the receding tide, restoring his usual clarity.
He slowly raised his head, his gaze sweeping over the slightly surprised crowd around the table. The traces of being stunned by his terrifying killing intent still lingered on their faces.
He slightly tugged at the corners of his mouth, revealing a somewhat stiff smile, his voice hoarse and apologetic: "Sorry, I almost lost control just now."
Upon hearing this, Liu Jianming felt as if a huge weight had been lifted from his heart. He let out a long sigh of relief, and the fine beads of sweat on his forehead gradually disappeared.
Although he didn't know Jiang Meng, he could keenly sense from Xiao Chen's furious outburst and his current protectiveness of Jiang Meng that Xiao Chen had incredibly deep feelings for her.
He thought to himself that Di Lang was probably doomed. Offending someone like Xiao Chen was simply courting death.
His Adam's apple bobbed, as if something was stuck in his throat. After a moment of hesitation, he spoke cautiously, each word sounding carefully considered: "Mr. Xiao, is your return to the ancient city for... Xinmeng Group?"
His eyes held a mixture of anticipation and nervousness, as if he feared his question might touch upon Xiao Chen's taboo.
Xiao Chen composed himself, his eyes becoming deep and resolute.
His knuckles tapped unconsciously on the table, the dull, soft sound particularly clear in the quiet room, as if it were a declaration of his inner resolve.
He nodded, his voice steady and strong: "More or less."
This branch of Xinmeng Group in the western region is the result of my wife's hard work.
She devoted countless hours and effort to this branch, personally handling every aspect from site selection and planning to operation.
As a husband, it's only right and proper for him to retrieve it for his wife.
His eyes gleamed with determination, as if he could already see the day he would reclaim the branch company and seek justice for his wife.
In fact, he had a more important goal, a goal hidden in the depths of darkness, involving more secrets and conspiracies.
However, he didn't need to tell Liu Jianming, because Liu Jianming was just a nobody struggling in the ancient city's business circle; his abilities and resources were limited, and he couldn't be of much help. (End of Chapter)
