Everyone knew that the black and white duo didn't interfere in each other's business, and they had always been getting along peacefully. If they were to pick Young Master Ge of the mafia, it might bring the Zhao Group quite a bit of trouble.
Zhao Dancheng's slender fingers rapped against the table, causing a series of rhythmic sounds to ring out. "Other than him, no one else would be so daring to provoke the Zhao clan." "You should hurry down and take care of these matters. I'll handle the rest."
Mrs Zhao occupied a certain position in the capital, only second to the Leng Clan. Here, naturally, no one would dare to offend Mrs Zhao, and at the moment, those destroyed shops and hotels, their methods were very similar to those of those on the street, except for Young Master Ge, it seemed that no one else could be found.
Being by their CEO's side for such a long time, they naturally knew that if they didn't have enough confidence, Zhao Dongcheng naturally wouldn't easily counterattack.
After the assistant left, Zhao Dongcheng took out his phone and made the call that he hadn't contacted in a long time.
Moments later, a low, hoarse voice rang out, sounding annoyed from being disturbed. "Dong Zi, I don't think you're calling me so early because you missed me."
Hearing the displeasure in his voice, Zhao Dongcheng laughed in a low voice, "You're working?"
"Un, if you have something to say, say it!"
Zhao Dongcheng raised an eyebrow and said, "Recently, there seems to be people who aren't happy and let me live a comfortable life."
"I've read today's newspaper. I'll return home in two days and take care of this matter myself."
Nodding his head, Zhao Dongcheng put away his phone, buried his head into the pile of documents and began to review them. After all, the Zhao Group had never been involved with the underworld before, and did not intend to involve the Zhao family with the underworld. Naturally, there would be people to deal with these matters for him.
At that moment, the door was pushed open, and Leng Xiao, dressed in a black shirt, walked in. Behind him was his secretary, who had a panicked look on his face.
"Director Leng, you've come to find me so early. What's the matter?" Previously, Zhao Dongcheng didn't care about Leng Xiao's scheme to get Shi Ling to seduce him. But now, seeing Leng Xiao and thinking about him being like Shi Ling's older brother, he did not have a good impression of him. Even his tone had turned sarcastic.
He casually walked into the office and lazily sat on the chair in front of Zhao Dongcheng. Seeing the displeasure on Zhao Dongcheng's face, he raised his eyebrows and asked: "Boss Zhao, you don't seem to welcome me?"
Putting away the document in his hand, Zhao Dongcheng's gaze landed on Leng Xiao's nearly perfect handsome face, the corner of his mouth hooked up as he smiled and said: "It's not really a welcome nor a welcome, it's just that I don't seem to be able to find a reason for you to come to the Zhao clan so early in the morning, to watch the show, it seems that you are already a little late. The excitement here has already dispersed, there is no good show that Director Leng wants to watch."
A complicated expression flashed across Leng Xiao's handsome face as he looked at Zhao Dongcheng and said: "It seems Director Zhao is quite satisfied with the services provided by Lan Shi Ling last time, and yet you're so generous as to cause her so much trouble."
A voice that did not have a hint of warmth in it resounded in the large office. However, it carried a hint of displeasure and a taste of food. When Zhao Dongcheng heard this, he looked at Leng Xiao with a more probing gaze.
The first time he had met Lan Shiling, he had met her under the arrangement of Leng Xiao. Therefore, he was not certain about the relationship between Leng Xiao and Lan Shiling. Shi Ling is a kind-hearted girl, and is worth it for me to do so. "
Hearing this, Leng Xiao's pupils constricted as he looked at Zhao Dongcheng with a hint of coldness in his eyes. Looks like I have still underestimated Lan Shi. I never thought that in such a short period of time, I would be able to get a man to be so interested in me. " Pausing for a moment, he looked at Zhao Dongcheng and tried his best to suppress the anger in his heart as he asked, "Where is Lan Shiling?"
Zhao Dongcheng puzzledly raised his head and looked at Leng Xiao, then asked without batting an eyelid: "Chief Leng, are you concerned about this?"
Those sharp eyes looked at Leng Xiao, but couldn't detect any peculiar emotions from them. In his heart, he had a better understanding of the relationship between Leng Xiao and Lan Shi Ling.
The emotion in Leng Xiao's eyes had completely disappeared. Looking at Zhao Dongcheng's scrutinizing eyes, the corners of his mouth curled up as he said, "Lan Shiling is my son's life teacher, but today, Lan Shiling broke off our engagement and my son is causing a ruckus. No matter how I advise, I will not listen, so I will naturally find Lan Shiling to settle this debt and lead our Leng Clan to a pay."
Leng Xiao inwardly applauded the reason that he had found. From Zhao Dongcheng's expression, it seemed that this reason was quite reasonable.
He didn't expect that in such a short period of time, Lan Shiling would actually offend two men like this. It seemed that he had underestimated her, a vain woman. It was likely that she had meticulously prepared that play at the bar last night to seduce this man, Zhao Dongcheng.
His tightly clenched hand subconsciously tightened as his lower jaw slightly tensed due to his hidden anger. When he looked at Zhao Dongcheng, his eyes were calm without a trace, exuding an intimidating coldness, but without a trace of emotion.
He had guessed at the thousands of connections between Lan Shiling and Leng Xiao, but none of them were the same as the one in front of him. He had never imagined that Lan Shiling was just Leng Xiao's precious son, Leng Xinhao's life classroom.
"For the next few days, Shi Ling will not go to the Leng Residence. I hope that Director Leng can explain it to your noble young master."
Zhao Dongcheng faced Leng Xiao with a pair of icy eyes that could freeze someone to death. After being suppressed by Leng Xiao for so many years, Zhao Dongcheng felt much more relaxed when he saw Leng Xiao's defeated expression.
Leng Xiao pursed his lips, a cold, terrifying look emerging on his devilishly handsome face. He paused for a moment, stood up, and said: "Since Lan Shiling is with Director Zhao, then please send her a message. Since the Leng Clan is hiring her to be a Xin Hao's life teacher, how could they leave their job for no reason. If they don't want to compensate the Leng Clan with a large sum of money, then it's best if they show up for me tomorrow."
After he coldly said this sentence, Leng Xiao turned around and walked out. Behind him, Zhao Dongcheng was chewing on a clear smile as he stared in the direction that Leng Xiao had disappeared to.
Zhao Dancheng owned many properties, and very few people in the outside world knew that the villa located halfway up the mountain belonged to Zhao Dancheng. Therefore, it was indeed safe for Lan Shiling to stay there.
Zhao Dongcheng didn't think that Young Master Ge would actually risk the entire Zhao Family's life just to force Lan Shi Ling out. It seemed like this wasn't something that could be solved with just five hundred thousand dollars.
After a moment of silence, Zhao Dongcheng brought some of his men with him and got on the caravan. Then, they headed in the direction of the West City.
In a villa halfway up the mountain, Lan Shiling was wearing a white uniform, and a pair of tight-fitting pants. The uniform gave her a student's aura. She looked pure and innocent.
Wearing a pair of slippers, she slowly walked out of the room and into the courtyard of the villa. Lan Shi Ling, who had just woken up, felt much better. She slowly began to observe her surroundings and realized that this villa was actually a huge castle.
Under her long eyelashes, there was a hint of joy in her eyes. She walked to the side of the huge pool and looked down at the clear blue water below her feet. Her heart gradually became calm without a trace.
During the past six years, Zhang Hai had always wanted to sell her to those people in order to repay her debts. Last night, she had been the most afraid and dangerous time, so it was hard for her to avoid being scared. However, during the past six years, she had gradually gotten used to it.
Sitting on the reclining chair beside the swimming pool, Xiao Yan slightly narrowed his eyes and looked up at the warm sunlight. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly as the faint sunlight scattered onto his exquisite face.
"Miss Lan, breakfast is ready."
Steward Li, wearing a black suit and a friendly smile on his face, stood in front of Lan Shi Ling as he spoke in a light tone.
Suddenly opening her eyes, Lan Shiling felt a little awkward as she stood up and hurriedly nodded, "Thank you."
Lan Shi Ling sat down at the dining table. Her gaze fell upon the housekeeper, Uncle Li, as she said, "Uncle Li, you should sit down as well. I can't eat that much by myself."
"Miss Lan, take your time. If you feel that I'm not used to standing by your side, I'll send someone to clean it up after you're done." Uncle Li signaled the servant standing next to him to leave, then turned around and walked out.
Lan Shi Ling moved her mouth but didn't know what to say. She could only sigh, pick up her chopsticks and start eating.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck her. She suddenly thought about how she promised Leng Xinhao that she would prepare breakfast when she left the house last night. When she thought about that, a look of disappointment appeared on her handsome little face, causing her heart to tighten.
Putting down her chopsticks, she stood up in a hurry. Lan Shiling quickly walked up the stairs, picked up her bag and rushed out of the door. At this moment, Uncle Li stopped Lan Shi Ling.
"Miss Lan, where are you going?"
She looked up at Uncle Li and said, "Uncle Li, I have something that I want to go out for. If Director Zhao asks, just tell him."
Uncle Li signaled for the door to be shut and turned around to look at Lan Shi Ling. He said apologetically, "Miss Lan, the Young Master specifically ordered me not to let Miss Lan go out alone. Miss Lan, if you need anything, you can tell me. I can send someone to help you. "Or, please wait a moment, I will go and ask the young master."
Hearing this, Lan Shiling frowned. She knew that Uncle Li and Zhao Dongcheng did this for her own good, so she wasn't angry. However, she was still worried about Leng Xinhao. For some reason, whenever she thought of how that small face of hers would reveal an expression of disappointment and discomfort due to her missing an appointment, her heart would suddenly tighten.
