Chapter 1429 Amnesia?
Iris shrugged and gestured for Jin Liwei to answer the phone call.
Her husband spoke to Wei Lan. She heard everything they were talking about. When the phone call ended, the husband and wife frowned.
"The vizconde has amnesia?" Iris frowned. "Do you believe it?"
Jin Liwei paused for a couple of seconds. "Nikolai's informants have confirmed that the vizconde was badly injured when he was ambushed in Trinidad. Apparently, his condition was so severe that he technically died when they were rushing him for medical treatment off-island. He was only successfully revived when they arrived in Barbados. He was comatose. According to what Wei Lan said, he only regained consciousness yesterday but couldn't remember anything, even his own name."
Iris was deep in thought.
Jin Liwei continued, "We still don't know if the attack was premeditated or if the vizconde was only unlucky to encounter a gang shooting. Nikolai's people are still investigating."
She nodded. "I'll optimize Bacon again so that he can assist Big Brother's investigations better. As for the vizconde, I'm getting more and more intrigued by him. I'm curious about what kind of person he really is in person." R/ê/Ad lateSt ch/a/pters at nô(v)e(l)bin/.c/o//m Only
"We'll meet him soon. Wei Lan and René Alejandro are bringing him to the country to recuperate when his condition stabilizes enough to fly safely."
Although the Spanish viscount intrigued Iris, he wasn't enough to retain her interest for long. She had an important task today.
"Ready?" Jin Liwei asked.
She nodded.
After freshening up and changing their outfits, Iris and Jin Liwei said goodbye to the children, cats, and puppies before leaving the mansion together.
"Are you sure you don't want me to come with you inside?" Jin Liwei asked again.
She shook her head. "Thanks but I can handle it. Besides, you still need to work and earn milk money for our babies."
Her laughter transformed into a soft smile. "We have amazing kids, Liwei."
"I know. Thanks to you."
She clasped her hand with his and leaned her head on his shoulder. "I couldn't have made our babies without you."
"I know." This time, he looked smug.
Only the two of them could create such beautiful children together. Perhaps they were seeing their own kids with rose-coloured filter eyes just like any other parents, but they really thought that their own biological children were the most amazing in the whole world.
Even so, Jin Liwei was still clear-headed enough to continue his resolve to be the disciplinarian in the family. His wife was perfect in almost every way, except when it came to their children.
She had always been too soft-hearted and would spoil the kids to no end. He needed to balance it out with his strictness in order to prevent their kids from going astray and growing up into disastrous spoiled brats.
Finally, they arrived at a nondescript office building.
Jin Liwei got off the vehicle first and helped his wife next. Then they walked together to the building followed by Dom and their bodyguards. Their movements were quick, so the passersby didn't notice that the nation's current most famous power couple just walked by them.
They rode the elevator to the topmost floor. When they stepped out of the elevator, they were greeted by the imposing logo of Phantom Dragon Funds.
"Welcome, President Long and CEO Jin," the new CEO of Phantom Dragon Funds greeted them.
Qiao Yu, Iris' long-time personal financial manager, only helped her establish the new investment company at the beginning until they found someone competent to manage it.
The new CEO was the protégé of Qiao Yu's long-time friend in the financial management industry. At Qiao Yu's recommendation, Iris had the man's background checked before aggressively recruiting and successfully hiring him as Phantom Dragon Funds' new CEO.
The new CEO was eager to showcase his management and leadership skills. In no time, he hired a full company staff and executed Iris' orders, especially their number one priority at the moment—buying as much Long Industries shares as possible.
Iris was very satisfied with this CEO's performance so far.
To the outside world, Phantom Dragon Funds was an up-and-coming start-up that was taking the investment world by storm. It helped that its new CEO was a young hotshot that many predicted would become one of the nation's business leaders in the future.
