Chapter 5

C5 – Tong Boss

“I, I’m not in love with you, you shameless bastard!”

Ding Mengqi finally regained her composure at that moment. Her face flushed, and she retorted to Wu Tian Jiao.

Narcissist!

“Don’t think that just because you saved me, I’ll forgive those shameless words you said!”

Proudly, Ding Mengqi turned around, intending to leave the alley. Little did she know that she applied too much force, and with a creak, her ankle twisted, instantly turning red and swollen.

“En, it hurts!”

The pain in her ankle was immense. Ding Mengqi cried out, and her delicate body began to fall forward. In response, Wang Xiao quickly reached out and caught her, holding her waist.

“Thank you!”

Still in shock, Ding Mengqi reflexively thanked him. However, as she lifted her beautiful eyes and saw Wang Xiao giving her an impish smile, her pretty face immediately turned red. She quickly pushed Wang Xiao away and declared, “Go away! I don’t need you to hold me.”

Nevertheless, she didn’t manage to push Wang Xiao away. Instead, he carried her like a domineering prince.

“As a gentleman, how can I see a beauty’s foot injured and not offer assistance?”

Wang Xiao smiled faintly at Ding Mengqi, ignoring the gangsters he had just beaten up. With her in his arms, he walked out of the alley.

Ding Mengqi noticed the tenderness in Wang Xiao’s smile and gently closed her small mouth. She leaned into his arms and enjoyed the warmth against her chest, feeling like a contented kitten.

If those suitors at Forest City University knew that their ice queen teacher, whom they had a crush on, was nestled against a young man like this, they would undoubtedly be infuriated and gnash their teeth in frustration!The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

......

“How do you feel now?”

Ding Mengqi sat on a chair placed on a street bench while a pair of red high heels rested in front of her. Her delicate jade foot was being massaged by Wang Xiao, who smiled and gazed directly at her.

The soft streetlight illuminated Ding Mengqi’s snow-white face, accentuating her biting of her red lips. Her shy eyes shimmered in the light.

She nervously glanced around, seemingly anxious about encountering someone she knew. Additionally, she felt a bit bashful about having her foot massaged by Wang Xiao.

Gazing quietly at Wang Xiao, Ding Mengqi found herself increasingly captivated by his sharp facial features, well-defined eyebrows, and mesmerizing eyes, all of which made her heart beat faster.

“Yes, good, much better.”

Ding Mengqi lightly bit her lip and murmured softly. Wang Xiao’s massage was remarkably comfortable, and she noticed that her swollen ankle had significantly improved.

“It is getting late. I will send you back first.”

Ding Mengqi’s soft lips seemed almost boneless and felt incredibly pleasant. Yet, Wang Xiao didn’t display any reluctance to let go. When the massage was almost done, he released her foot and smiled at Ding Mengqi.

“No, no need. I will go back myself.”

Blushing, Ding Mengqi put on her red high heels and shook her head at Wang Xiao as she spoke.

“What do you mean? You called yourself a gentleman. How could a gentleman let a lady go home alone, especially when her foot injury hasn’t completely healed yet!”

The baldy’s face revealed signs of panic. He avoided making eye contact with the middle-aged man but quickly recounted the whole incident.

“Who is this expert?” Chen Peng furrowed his brows and asked with a deep voice upon hearing this.

“It is Tong Waner’s cheap fiancé, Wang Xiao!” The baldy said.

“What? How could it be him?”

Chen Peng’s face displayed a hint of shock as he spoke in a deep voice.

A moment later, his expression changed to one of realization. “Ah, I see. I was referring to Tong Shan, that old fox. How could he not arrange for a few experts to secretly protect his daughter? So, this expert... He’s his son-in-law!”

“Chief Chen, what do we do now? We are in a land dispute with the Tong Group. We didn’t hesitate to employ the killers from Rebirth Camp to assassinate Tong Waner. But now, the assassination attempt has failed. Will that guy, Tong Shan, cause trouble for us?” The baldy nervously asked Chen Peng.

At this point, the baldy looked at Chen Peng timidly, seeking guidance.

Observing the baldy’s flustered demeanor, Chen Peng frowned, and a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in his eyes.

“Assassination of Tong Waner? What does that have to do with us?” A cold smile appeared on Chen Peng’s face as he shrugged his shoulders. He said to the baldy, “Baldy, you’ve been with me for so long, why are you acting so differently now?”

“Director Chen, it’s already this time. Don’t play around...”

Upon hearing Chen Peng’s words, the baldy was taken aback and failed to react immediately. He hadn’t even finished his sentence when he noticed the sinister grin on Chen Peng’s lips, and suddenly, it dawned on him what was going on.

He patted his head a few times and chuckled. “Chief Chen, you’re truly clever. Yes, about the Tong Family’s daughter’s assassination, we had no knowledge of it, and we expressed our condolences. We should prepare some gifts and pay our respects to the Tong Family!”

Observing the baldy finally understanding and putting two and two together, a satisfied glint flashed in Chen Peng’s eyes.

“Good, I’ll leave this matter to you. Ensure that the Tong Family sees the sincerity of the Chen Group!”

He waved his hand and instructed the baldy.

“Don’t worry, Chief Chen. I’ll handle it diligently. You can count on me!” The baldy’s lips curled into a smirk as he assured Chen Peng.

After saying that, he turned around and left the office. Gathering his men, he prepared to give it his all.

Within the Lin’s Group building in the Eastern City of Forest City.

A middle-aged man with a serious demeanor sat before his office desk, quietly perusing the documents in front of him.

Swoosh...

At that moment, a faint sound of air being torn reached the office. It was as if someone had entered, but the middle-aged man was the sole occupant in the room.

“He’s back? Gui Ying?”

The middle-aged man smiled and said without raising his head.

” En, I’m back. “

A hoarse voice sounded in the office, but it could be heard and no one could be seen.

“Is Waner’s girl alright?”

The middle-aged man stopped what he was doing and asked in a deep voice, with a hint of concern in his tone.
