Chapter 269 - 269 Kidnapping

269 Kidnapping

Shen Xi, who had just opened her book, suddenly received a message from her major client. Thinking about how she was about to participate in the Rong City Cup, she politely rejected the offer.

Guan Lei, who had been rejected, frowned as he stared at the screen, wondering if he should find a master in Beijing to guide Shen Xi. After all, Rong City was a remote place, and there weren’t many good masters.

Guan Lei immediately asked Xue Li to contact a master.

Xue Li, who had received the task, replied and got someone kidnap a master from Beijing that afternoon.

!!

Li Zhe, the chairperson of Li Industries, had just arrived in Rong City and happened to come to the hotel that Meng Yu was staying at.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Li Zhe looked at Meng Yu and said in a gentle tone, “I heard that your family’s Young Master Guan kidnapped my uncle and brought him here?”

Meng Yu was stunned. He looked at Li Zhe in disbelief and asked, “Your uncle? Why did he kidnap your uncle? What did your uncle do? Did he offend him?”

Li Zhe also shook his head in confusion. “If I knew, I wouldn’t have rushed here. My grandfather was worried that your unruly little brat would kill my uncle, so, at noon, he got me to come and save him.”

Meng Yu smiled and looked at Li Zhe, who had a carefree expression on his face. He didn’t seem to be in a hurry at all.

Meng Yu picked up his phone and called Xue Li.

Xue Li, who was escorting Li Dan, saw that it was a call from Meng Yu, so he answered it and asked in a well-behaved tone, “President Meng, please let me know what you need.”

Meng Yu ignored Xue Li’s servantile tone and asked directly, “I heard you kidnapped Li Zhe’s uncle?”

Hearing this, Xue Li was confused. He asked, “Director Li’s uncle? No, why would I kidnap Director Li’s uncle for no reason?”

“He’s the person you guys kidnapped from Beijing this afternoon, ” Li Zhe explained. “His name is Li Dan.”

Xue Li suddenly understood, and explained with a smile, “Are you talking about Master Li Dan? Oh my, it was a misunderstanding. We’re inviting him, not kidnapping him. Our Young Master just wants to invite Master Li over to give him some pointers on painting skills.”

Li Dan, who was wearing only one slipper, glared at Xue Li, who was lying through his teeth. He felt extremely aggrieved.

This wasn’t inviting him, it was snatching him away!

In the afternoon, he had been drinking tea at home, but a group of people rushed in and took him away. They didn’t even give him time to put on his shoes. They said they were pressed for time and carried him away.

Fortunately, he had been covering his face when he was carried away. Otherwise, if people knew that he had been carried away in such an embarrassing fashion, he would lose all dignity.

After that, he was taken on a plane, then a car. He still didn’t know where he was being brought to.

Everyone in Beijing said that Young Master Guan was arrogant and domineering. Now, it seemed that it was true. He didn’t even let an old man off.

If it hadn’t been for his age, he would have suspected that Young Master Guan was robbing him.

On the other end, Xue Li was still trying his best to justify his behavior, and Meng Yu finally understood.

However, Meng Yu still asked out of curiosity, “Hasn’t Guan always disliked paintings?”

Xue Li pondered for a while, and then he realized he himself didn’t know why, so he vaguely answered, “Maybe, perhaps, he’s suddenly interested?”

Even Xue Li himself didn’t think what he said was credible.

Li Zhe heaved a sigh of relief after knowing that his uncle was fine.

Meng Yu saw that he couldn’t get the specific reason, so he said, “Since he’s fine, send him back as soon as possible, so that the Li family won’t worry. I’m hanging up!”

“Wait!” Xue Li hurriedly called out to Meng Yu.

“Is there anything else?” Meng Yu asked in a faint voice.

Xue Li wavered for a moment, before asking, embarrassed, “I just wanted to ask President Meng, do you have a partner now, or is there any girl you have feelings for?”

Meng Yu awkwardly looked toward Li Zhe, whose eyes were clearly a little intimidating. He coughed tactfully and said, “No, I don’t have a partner, and I don’t have feelings for any girl.”

Li Zhe was quite satisfied with Meng Yu’s answer.

Hearing Meng Yu’s answer, Xue Li was delighted.

President Meng was not one to lie, so Meng Yu really did not like Ms. Shen Xi. That meant that Young Master still had a chance.

Xue Li hung up the phone happily, humming a little song, and sent Li Dan to the place designated by Guan Lei.

Meng Yu, who had just hung up the phone, said a little uncomfortably, “Your uncle is fine now. In future, you can just make a call for such matters. It’ll save you a lot of trouble.”
