2.3 - Man proposes, but god disposes
At the hotel, Xue Ling removed the suit he wore for his performance, took a bath, and lay down on the bed, feeling that he was still just as busy as he had been in his previous life.
"System, can you find out where my lovely little niece is now?" He turned over and brought out the system.
"I don't have omnivision..." A pitiful murmur came from the system. "But I can give you some information so that you can find the fastest, most reliable detective."
"Contact him for me." Xue Ling rubbed the little fox's head, using the system like a plug-in. "Find out where the little girl is first, and I'll pick her up tomorrow when I leave the hospital."
The system had no idea what Xue Ling was up to. It was completely confused, unable to keep up with its host's thinking. "Host, what are you planning to do?"
"Wen Xiuyuan is really pitiful." Xue Ling remarked, "First his parents died, then his sister passed away, his oldest nephew turned silly, his younger niece also died, and finally, he also followed the pattern and died. When I entered this body, I couldn't save his parents, so I can only try to move the rest of his relatives away from that scum as quickly as possible."
"How do you plan to do this?"
"Nothing much, his sister has already left with his eldest nephew. Tomorrow, we will sell our shares, pick up my niece and move abroad."
"Eh?!!!" The system never imagined that as soon as he makes his move, he would change the entire plot!
"Like this, at least they won't encounter situations beyond my control just because I didn't catch the problem in time." In fact, arranging things like this will have little impact on the original plot, if anything, it will allow the male protagonist's plans to proceed even more smoothly.
The system thought about it for a while, and finally also felt that it's not wrong move people away from that scum man, but... "So, host, do you plan on taking your time completing this task?"
Xue Ling raised his eyebrows. "How else? Right now, I am a young master who can do nothing but play the piano. Do you expect me to become the president of the company right after I return to China, kill brother-in-law who has been working hard for many years for the company, and then dominate the market?"
"Oh... no... that's too OOC..."
"So we can only proceed slowly." Xue Ling pulled down the quilt and wrapped himself inside it. "Anyway, I need to live until I have a natural death, there's no need for me to go up and shoot him down and then end up in jail for decades."
"Don't kill the protagonist!" The system heavily emphasized this. "Even if they are worse than scum, you can't personally go and kill people! Otherwise, you will be directly kicked out by this world! At that time, vomiting blood all over the floor won't be good for you."
"Oh."
"You're being very cold..."
"You're being very annoying."
"QAQ"
Xu Yongyi had carefully plotted the death of his parents, so he rushed to the hospital as soon as he arrived in town. Although he looked like he was in grief, all his actions were neat and orderly.
First he arranged for their cremation, then he contacted the funeral parlor and found a special person to take charge of the funeral. The sky was turning bright when he finished. Without resting, he rushed to the company in order to explain what happened to the board members and shareholders, requesting that they stay calm.Visit no(v)eLb(i)n.com for the best novel reading experience
Xu Yongyi hurriedly coaxed, "Fine fine, I will buy the shares from you at a high price. Consider it as me holding onto them for you, whenever you want them back, just ask."
The system to the side rolled its eyes, thinking to itself that the protagonist really is a schemer. The words he spoke are so dignified on the outside, but empty inside. However if he were not such a person, how could the original owner's parents not have been able to see his true face? They had been in the business world for many years. It can be said that the male lead's godlike acting skill was part of his his golden finger.
Xue Ling nodded, then spoke to the lawyer, "Is that ok? I'll leave it to you."
The lawyer did not expect to meet such a person in his entire life. He nodded despite still being dumbfounded, "It's fine."
"When will it be completed?"
"As long as the price is confirmed, it can be completed as early as tomorrow." In this aspect, the lawyer was still very professional.
Xue Ling nodded again, "Please do it as soon as possible..." After a moment's silence, he added, "Since the shares are already being sold, sell my sister's share as well."
Xu Yongyi was stunned, really not expecting such a great surprise. Although he was already happy enough to dance, his face remained unchanged on the surface: "Where would you get this sudden idea?"
"My sister has never been very knowledgeable about these things, and was always depending on brother-in-law before, so we might as well transfer the shares together." Xue Ling's face was full of innocence. His eyes swept over everyone gathered. Those who met his eyes found their soul quivering, brains blank, and directly agreeing to this suggestion.
The system sat on Xue Ling's shoulder, expressing nothing but disdain for these foolish human beings.
He had absolutely no qualms about mesmerizing people.
After confirming the price and signing the transfer agreement the lawyer sent over, Xue Ling was relieved to hear that his father and mother had already entered the crematorium.
He couldn't leave right now. At the very least he needed to complete the stock transfer and participate in the funeral before leaving.
Due to the stock transfer Xu Yongyi was busier than usual, and didn't even have time to go home. Because of this, he didn't realize that his wife and eldest son had already been away for a long time until everything was ready for the funeral, and he discovered that he hadn't seen his wife for several days.
He doesn't know why, Xu Yongyi always feels that something is off, but a phone call came in, forcing him to rush around everywhere, basically having no time to consider if he's been played or not.
It was his mother, calling to tell him his little daughter had been lost.
His mother originally called Bai Luzi, the female protagonist, but because nobody picked up, she could only call him directly.
Although he didn't love the daughter he had with Wen Xiuting, it's still his flesh and blood. Xu Yongyi was really anxious, and went out again.
At the same time, Xue Ling also received the results from the detective's investigation.
His lovely little niece was abducted and sold...
Xue Ling: "???"
