Chapter 24 (1/2)

I Don’t Like You

The Chairman of K Group and his wife were very loving. More than two decades ago, he was on a business trip to China with his pregnant wife who gave birth during the trip. Their newborn daughter went missing not long after… The scale of K Group was immense and had cut into the interests of many people. A rich young lady who was born with a silver spoon—and should be living in the lap of luxury—but her whereabouts was still unknown till now. It was unsure if she was even alive. The Chairman of K Group sent people to China every year to look for his daughter. His wife would probably have collapsed on the first day her daughter went missing if it were not for the support of her husband and son.

Nie Heng smiled. “Yes, this is indeed a big weakness. However, who can find a child who disappeared after being born more than 20 years ago?”

“The depth of love the Chairman’s wife has for this daughter is a huge bargaining chip for you,” Cheng Lang said.

China was still the territory of the Four Big Families. No matter how powerful K Group was, there were still some things that were out of their reach. If the Nie family agreed to help in the search, K Group would definitely be willing to make some business concessions in return.

Nie Heng narrowed his eyes and nodded in agreement. Relieved at finding a solution to the problem, Nie Heng turned to Xing Shu. “What jewelry does the Little Canary like? Take it as my greeting gift to you.”

Xing Shu abhorred Nie Heng’s attitude—women were just toys in his eyes. “There’s no need to trouble President Nie.”

Nie Heng glared at Xing Shu menacingly for a long time. Xing Shu had the feeling that if she was not Cheng Lang’s woman, she might have already died.

After a long time, Nie Heng retracted his gaze and got up lackadaisically. “Alright, Nie Xi is still waiting for me. I’ll leave first. See you around, Little Canary.”

It was a thinly veiled threat. He was so menacing that even a casual smile sent chills down her spine. Xing Shu instinctively inched closer to Cheng Lang. Left alone in the private room, she asked softly, “Young Uncle… As a friend, you will persuade him, right?”

“Let’s go.” Cheng Lang stood up and said indifferently, “Don’t get involved in the matter between Nie Heng and Nie Xi.” In other words, if Xing Shu disobeyed and insisted on getting involved, he would not help if things were to go awry.
