Chapter 387: Issues

Old Man Long's face was morphed into an ugly scowl. "Mr. Fang, I asked to see Mr. Xu may I know why you came here instead?" When his secretary called Mr. Fang earlier, Mr. Xu's secretary clearly said that he is coming tonight. So, how come it was only the secretary who came? Where is his boss?

"I said I would come." Mr. Fang said. "Mr. Xu is currently busy. So, he wanted me to come to meet you instead."

"You think I am just someone that a mere secretary could meet?" Old Man Long hissed. "I want to meet Xu Jihan! I want to have lunch with him! Tomorrow!"

"Mr. Long, Mr. Xu is not just someone that a mere like you could meet anytime. My boss is working with National Defense. He is not some languid young master that you could just summon anytime."

Old Man Long stared at Mr. Fang, surprised. Since he met this man, Mr. Fang was always respectful towards him. So, what's with the change of attitude? Was it… No! That is impossible! Xu Family would never abandon his Long Family.

"Mr. Fang… that is not what I was trying to say. I just— I am still a little stressed out because of what happened last night. As you know, the Shen Security won the assembly." He forced himself to sound amicable. Mr. Fang was only a secretary. However, he is extremely close to his boss. He was Xu Jihan's right-hand man.

Mr. Fang only smiled in response. He drank his tea before he met Old Man Long's eyes. "Mr. Xu is busy. He wanted to work with Shen Security. Obviously, there are some problems with that. So, he is busy taking care of that problems. He is already in the Capital. He won't be able to have lunch with you tomorrow."

"Oh… Then… How about I just go to the Capital? I also have some new propositions for Mr. Xu. I believe the president would be interested to hear about this matter." This time, his tone towards Mr. Fang was really respectful. It was the opposite of his tone earlier.

This meeting didn't last for long. Mr. Fang shortly informed him that he is also on his way back to the Capital and that his flight would be in an hour, so he needed to leave. Soon, Mr. Long was left alone in the office.

This time, he didn't hide the anger in his eyes. It seems that the Xu Family is going to abandon him just because of some armor? Old Man Long couldn't believe this! He stood and walked towards his table, he then opened a safe just from one of his drawers and stared at the documents and flash drive that he stored in there.

Those documents were full of confidential secrets of the Xu Family. From the people they killed without any mercy to the mines they stole and villages that they burned. These secrets could surely destroy them.

If the Xu Family would do something against his family, they would surely suffer from the consequences of their actions. Or at least, Old Man Long thought so.

On that night, Old Man Long suddenly suffered a stroke. All the evidence that he was reading before he collapsed vanished along with his consciousness. When his secretary came back, the safe was already closed. The Old Man was already lying on the floor. Luckily, he isn't dead yet.

The news instantly rocked the whole Long City on the next day.

The Long Corp's stocks instantly fluctuated before taking a deep dive. After all, their chairman was already in comatose. This made Long Yi and the whole Long Family panicked. As Old Man Long's son, Long Yi instantly called for a meeting.

He needed to protect the company while his father is still in the hospital!

"So, you are saying that before father collapsed, Mr. Fang was there with him?" Long Yi asked his father's secretary.

"Yes, sir. He wanted me to leave, so I went out of his office. The conversation was really short. After a few minutes, Mr. Fang went out, and I escorted him out of the house. When I… When I came back, Chairman Long is already on the floor."

"Mr. Fang is Mr. Xu Jihan's secretary?"

"Yes, sir."

"Why did he see my father? Do you know?"

"No, sir. But the chairman was furious. He wanted to talk to Mr. Xu. I called his secretary, and he said that he would drop by. Who would have thought that only his secretary would come? When I left, Chairman Long is already frowning."

Long Yi turned silent. Problems… upon problems. He couldn't understand why issues would suddenly appear once Lyca is nearby. A sharp sigh escaped his lips. "The doctor said it was because of his hypertension. They would do their best to make him wake up soon." Long Yi said. "You may leave now. Oh, from now on, I want you to help my secretary. As the acting chairman, I would need your help and cooperation."

The secretary nodded and bowed before leaving.

When Long Yi was alone, he started massaging his temples. Since he received the news last night, he wasn't able to sleep as he went to the hospital for his father. When the morning came, he instantly called for an emergency board meeting.

It was already afternoon, and he couldn't even remember if he already had his lunch yet. He stared at the numbers in front of him. Right now, the market is already closed. And the bloody color in the stock market was hurting his eyes more than what happened to his father.

The stocks plummeted, and he Is starting to doubt if he would be able to recover from this.

The knock on his door interrupted his stupor. "Sir, Mr. Zhang is here. He wanted to talk to you about the— "

"Tell him to fuck off!"

"Sir?"

"Tell him to leave! I don't want to talk to anyone right now! Don't let anyone disturb me! I need some time to think!"
