CHAPTER 550: CHAPTER 512: QUITE A FEW ENEMIES!

Suddenly, there was a loud bang.

Yuan Min’s body lurched forward violently with the intense shaking of the car.

Immediately after, her car was firmly stuck in place, unable to move, as fear and despair intertwined, leaving her brain completely blank.

"Wang Junchen is trying to kill me!"

"Jingshan, Jingshan, where are you?"

"Where is my phone?"

Yuan Min’s hands trembled nonstop; she tried to make a call but couldn’t grasp her phone, dropping it twice.

"Is it out of power?"

"No, that’s not possible, what’s happening?"

She then realized that her phone screen was black, unable to send out any call for help.

At the same time, the sound of a car door opening came from behind, followed by two burly men getting out of the car, their faces covered, wearing gloves.

They ran swiftly towards Yuan Min’s sedan and without hesitation, pulled open the door.

"Help, help me, help!"

One of the men roughly dragged Yuan Min out of the car, gripping her arm so tightly it was nearly crushed. She struggled desperately trying to fight back, but the other man had already moved around to the other side and tightly restrained her body.

The phone also slipped down in the car due to the tension and sudden pulling.

"What, what do you want to do?"

"I advise you not to resist, otherwise, you will suffer even more," one man warned in a low voice, his gaze cold and ruthless.

Terrified, Yuan Min broke out in a cold sweat immediately.

"What do you really want?"

"My son is Li Zishen; he won’t let you get away with this, what do you really want?"

Yuan Min was forcibly taken to a black sedan parked at the exit; the man violently opened the car door and pushed her roughly inside.

Her heart was beating so fast that she couldn’t keep up.

If she hadn’t taken her medicine while waiting at the traffic light, she might have passed out by now.

Stay calm, she must stay calm.

"How much is he paying? I’ll pay three times that, my son is loaded, my son is Li Zishen."

One of the men scoffed.

"Three times, Madam Lai has such a big appetite!"

"Wang Junchen, right? Let me go, I’ll give you 200 million, that’s enough for you all to live well abroad, in cash, it can be in cash."

"Didn’t expect you have so many enemies; we should have shopped around."

The other man slammed the roof of the car.

"Damn, that was too low!"

"Hmph, next time, there will be plenty of opportunities."

The two men exchanged glances, then the driver put on headphones.

"Yes, understood, leaving immediately."

Yuan Min: "?"

It’s not Wang Junchen, it’s Li Wanshan!

Through the dim light inside the car, she saw their eyes were cold and fierce, their tone carrying a hint of playfulness as if discussing prey.

"It’s Li Wanshan, right?"

"3 billion, I’ll pay 3 billion, 3 billion."

"Li Wanshan is just a facade; he... he can’t pull out that much money, he’s fooling you, he has no money, give my son..."

Before Yuan Min could finish speaking, her mouth was sealed and soon her eyes were covered. As the car suddenly accelerated, she felt her body being pushed back by a tremendous force.

Immediately after, the vehicles left one by one, and the tunnel returned to normal as if nothing had happened.

...

Meanwhile, Huangcheng Hotel.

Li Zishen had just learned that Leng Lingxiao had rushed to Nanfeng Mansion.

He was initially in a good mood.

In the morning, he visited Jiang Yongheng, and the two of them chatted amicably. After returning to the hotel, he accepted interviews from several Huangcheng media outlets. The cooperative venture between his and the Shen family’s businesses discredited the rumors of a marriage alliance with Li Meng.

Who knew, just a casual remark from Chen Xin made him abandon his plans to hold a video conference.

"Did he go alone?"

"Yes."

"Isn’t it against the rules to meet before the wedding?"

Chen Xin: "?"

So that was what he was troubled about!

"I heard it’s according to the customs of Qingcheng, six days; Old Mrs. Tang’s idea."

"Today’s only the second day, he’s lost patience already. Leng Lingxiao is usually meticulous... how could he be so reckless? Something must have happened."

Li Zishen slowly closed his laptop and stood up with a deep gaze.

Then, every word Tang Xiaowan had said yesterday, every enduring look, every feigned strong smile, all flooded into his mind.

She was Ye Wanhua and Wang Junchen’s daughter, and indeed, Ye Wanhua was Yi Xiaodan.

This was... too cruel for Xiao Wan!

How could she bear it?

"Brother Shen, when Lady Tang left the shooting range yesterday, she wore a skirt, and she left carrying her coat. Maybe she caught a cold," Chen Xin hurriedly added as he saw Li Zishen’s expression change slightly.

Chen Xin hadn’t heard a word of yesterday’s conversation; he was purely guessing and trying to comfort.

Having a cold is better than harboring wild thoughts.

"Go to Nanfeng Mansion." Li Zishen grabbed his phone and left the study directly.

Chen Xin: "..."

Ah, I shouldn’t have spoken out.

Maybe it was just the daughter-in-law’s nerves!

He didn’t have time to think further and hurriedly followed. "Brother Shen, the raw material issue has already been resolved. For a despicable person like Wang Junchen, you don’t need to lower yourself. Let Li Weilian make the trip; he’s the head of the 8028 project and familiar with Country D, making communication more convenient."

This was not only an out but also a kind-hearted reminder; rashly going there indeed wasn’t timely.

Li Zishen clearly understood this.

Now, whether offline or online, Yishen Pharmaceutical and Country D’s Wind Flower had long been locked in a life-or-death competition. As the chairman of Yishen Group, Li Zishen indeed shouldn’t be visiting at this time.

The major media would definitely not miss this excellent opportunity to sensationalize the matter.

Moreover, last month, Wang Junchen had even sent someone to kidnap his mother, Yuan Min, and attempted to assassinate his uncle, Yuan Feng, although no substantial evidence was ever found; everyone was well aware.

"One does not obtain tiger cubs without entering the tiger’s lair!"

Chen Xin: "?"

Was what I said too subtle?

"Brother Shen, perhaps it’s better to go later. Nanfeng Mansion isn’t like other places, lest it becomes awkward for Lady Tang to decide later."

"Oh? Should we wait for Leng Lingxiao to leave? Does Xiao Wan not even have the right to see her friends now?"

Fueled by jealousy, Li Zishen’s love surged uncontrollably; he couldn’t restrain himself and wanted to see Tang Xiaowan immediately, unwilling to wait another moment.

Thus, he quickened his pace, his eyes colder and entirely lacking his usual composure.

One would think he was going to a fight if they didn’t know better.

Chen Xin: "..."

Great, the more I urge, the worse it gets!

"Brother Shen, that’s not what I meant." Chen Xin paused, then quickly grinned sheepishly, "Should we perhaps prepare some gifts? It’s our first visit after all... going like this might seem rude."

"Bring those two stalks of wild ginseng."

"Yes, Brother Shen."

Soon, the two left the hotel together.
