“That also means, once you fall in love with me, that it’s till death do us part, right?”
Zhong Nuannuan was baffled. That was totally not what she meant!
“Big Brother, don’t always change the subject. I know you obviously understand what I mean. I’m very thankful for the help you provided when I was young. I’m also truly grateful that you stood by me—aiding me in destroying the KE organization, enabling me to become a free person, even helping me manage my business. However, trusting you, depending on you, and adoring you doesn’t mean that I’m going to like you…”
“Oh, enough of that, Nuannuan. Have you noticed that you’ve been nagging more and more like an old lady lately?”
Zhong Nuannuan, “…!”
“I already know about what happened to Venato. Seeing as how you chose Sanji, you should let Sanji take Venato’s place. I’m hanging up.”
“Big Brother, I’m not done talking.”
“What else do you have to say? I’m extremely busy, okay? I’m still in a meeting right now.”
“This time out, Mustapha’s opposition forces are in cahoots with the Wute Organization, and you’d have been informed about many of these mercenary groups’ large operations. Did you know about the Wute Organization’s operations?”
“They are wary of us, so how am I to know of their operations? No… Do you suspect that I ordered the Wute Organization and the opposition forces to attack Mustapha’s legitimate military? We have 28 quarries in Mustapha which bring us endless profits. What good would it do us if Mustapha is in civil unrest?”
“That’s why I’m asking. If you knew about this, then what made you choose to abandon our 28 mines in favor of allowing Venato to collude with the opposition forces and the Wute Organization?”
Zhong Nuannuan’s words trailed off, leaving the other end was in complete silence.
“Big Brother?”
“Hmm?”
From the other end came Feng Shengxuan’s muffled voice.
“Why don’t you say something?”
“What should I say when you think that of me? You just told me that you subdued Venato and promoted Sanji. I told you that I’d support you no matter what you do.
“But you turned around and are suddenly suspicious of me. If you really don’t trust me, I can return all assets under your name to you and you can manage them on your own. I’ll have you know that I’ve been thinking of calling it quits for a long time. Do you know how many assets are under your name? Every time you list a buttload of assets under the group’s name on a whim, I’m over here working my *ss off as your CEO, while you’re in Camino being the hands-off rich woman. Do you believe that I’ll call it quits tomorrow, announce my comeback, then run to Camino to be a movie star?”
Zhong Nuannuan, “…!”
This arrogant man, what should she do with him?
Although she felt like she was going overboard by doubting him like this, he was clearly making a fuss out of this, was he not?
“Fine, return it all to me then! Write off all the tax relations, hand over those assets and I’ll re-register them in Camino. From today onward, I’ll manage my assets by myself.”
After saying that, she hung up the call with the sound of a click.
“Hello?!”
Hearing the white noise from the other end, Feng Shengxuan was dumbfounded.
Nuannuan was so upset that she had immediately hung up on him.
In a fit of rage, Feng Shengxuan seized a gun from the table and fired at the subordinate who had cried out when he had vomited blood earlier.
Although it didn’t kill him, the bullet punched a hole right through his shoulder.
