When Shi Xiao returned to the ward again, Wang Ping was no longer as terrified as before.
Thinking of Shi Xiaoâs fianceeâs promise and the deposit she had already paid, he was a little smug.
As long as he did as that young lady said, not only could he get money, but he could also set Shi Xiao up. It was really a win-win for him.
âYour brotherâs surgery is over. The blood clot in his head has been removed. Thereâs no other problem.â Shi Xiaoâs tone was cold. He didnât say that Wang Dong still had an observation period, since he couldnât wait anymore.
âWhereâs the money?â Wang Ping asked for the money right away. Money was the most important to him now.
After Shi Xiao nodded at the bodyguard beside him, the man took a suitcase and said, âThereâs half of the money here. After we find Yuan Shu, Iâll give you the other half.â
Just as Wang Ping was about to reach for the money, he was stopped by the person beside him.
Shi Xiao continued to ask, âWhereâs Yuan Shu? Tell me!â
Wang Ping looked at the suitcase and swallowed hard. âSheâs in the forest at the top of Phoenix Mountain. I tied her up there.â
He made this up. He had clearly brought Yuan Shu to the seaside, but he had told Shi Xiao that she was on the mountain.
The Phoenix Mountain Range spanned like a phoenix spreading its wings. Moreover, it had yet to be developed. It wasnât easy to find someone in the deep mountains and forests.
Shi Xiao looked at him suspiciously, but Wang Ping had already prepared an excuse. âWe brothers grew up nearby. The villagers nearby know the way up the mountain. Itâs just that no one is willing to go now. If you donât believe me, you can investigate.â
He sat up straight and looked at Shi Xiao without blinking. âThe two of us went back to the village previously to hide Yuan Shu. Otherwise, how could the Shi Corporation not find her?â
Thinking about how he had indeed been unable to obtain any news about Yuan Shu, Shi Xiao frowned. He wondered if she could withstand the harsh weather in the deep mountains and forests.
What Wang Ping said next made him worry. âMiss Yuan was injured when she was sent there and her wound is bleeding. If you donât find her quicklyâ¦â
Before he could finish speaking, Shi Xiao grabbed his collar and said to Zhao Cheng, âPrepare people to go to Phoenix Mountain to find her immediately.â
He said to Wang Ping coldly, âYouâd better pray that sheâs fine!â
Phoenix Mountain was filled with mountains. Shi Xiao left in a hurry and his people searched in pairs, but they still couldnât find her.
On the third day, rumors were already spreading in the Shi Corporation.
âWhy isnât President Shi here yet? I have several contracts waiting for him to sign!â
âZhao Mian canât explain it either. I donât think Zhao Cheng came to the company either, right?â
âCould she have gone missing again? I wonder where Miss Yuan went?â
âDid something happen? What about the company?â
At first, Lin Xi was still pretending to call Shi Xiao in the office, but on the third day, not only could she not contact Shi Xiao, but Wang Ping didnât answer the phone either. She knew that her plan had succeeded.
Just as the board of directors found Shi Xiaoâs office, Lin Xi hurriedly stood up. âEveryone, listen to me. President Shi has something very important to deal with.â
Almost everyone in the company knew that her relationship with Shi Xiao was special, so no one thought that she was lying. There were even people who felt that only Lin Xi knew the truth.
However, the board of directors didnât buy it.
âThat wonât do. If he leaves, what about our work?â
âThatâs right. We canât just put this collaboration worth tens of millions of yuan on hold. When will he be back?â
âIf heâs not going to come back, he should at least tell us, so at least someone else can make the decisions.â
Lin Xi cleared his throat, then showed a forged document.
âHow could Shi Xiao not have prepared it? He already gave it to me.â Lin Xi held a document in her hand, and there was even Shi Xiaoâs seal on it.
âYou? Who are you? Why?â A director questioned.
âBecause Iâm his fiancee.â Lin Xi deliberately showed the ring on her finger. âWhen Shi Xiao went missing overseas, I saved him and took care of him, so he brought me back to the country. Iâm his fiancee, so I naturally have the right to help him manage the company.â
At the same time, Jiang Chen also learned about Shi Xiaoâs disappearance.
He couldnât hide the joy in his heart. If Shi Xiao didnât return, Yuan Shu would be able to return to his side.
When there was a knock on his office door, he still maintained a smile.
Song Shi was stunned for a second when she saw his smile. Then, she said happily, âJiang Chen, my engagement dress is ready.. When is the engagement party?ân/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
