Chapter 384: He Feng Yuan Family Translator: Tim Editor: GlobeGlotter

“Quickly get CEO Lan here.” After discovering Fred was missing, Sha 1 immediately worried. His original plan was to capture Fred and apologize to Lan Yu, but now Fred was gone.

“Wait,” Sha 1 stopped his men, tidying his clothes. “I’ll go myself.”

…

Lan Yu waited anxiously in the luxurious room when Sha 1 nervously entered.

“CEO Lan, I’m Sha 1 of Five States. My men were foolish and disrespected you, believing Fred’s words. Please forgive me,” Sha 1 apologized, bowing deeply.

Lan Yu looked at Sha 1 in confusion. Since when did human traffickers become so polite?

Seeing Lan Yu silent, Sha 1 quickly said, “CEO Lan, I tried to capture Fred, but he’s missing. We haven’t found him.”

Though still confused, Lan Yu said, “I don’t need your apology. I just want to leave.”

Sha 1 wiped his brow. “Of course. Here’s a card; the password is all 1s. This is compensation for my mistakes.”

Lan Yu didn’t understand, but this was what she wanted. She decided not to overthink it.

Returning her to the streets, Sha 1 wiped his forehead and ordered, “Secretly protect her. If anyone offends her, don’t blame me.”

….

The Luo Yue conference ended. Yuan Bei Corporation, the largest pharmaceutical company in China with global reach, was the unhappiest.

In He Feng, the Yuan family was the local overlord. Even the Vice-Mayor deferred to them.

Yet today, Yuan Bei’s young CEO was publicly slapped by Luo Yue’s CEO Yu, and escorted out before hundreds of corporations.

This was a profound insult.

“Yu Miaodan, I don’t care how popular Luo Yue is, or who backs them. If I don’t send you to hell, I’m a pig. Ning Qingxue, don’t think Luo Yue’s support protects you. You’ll kneel and beg for mercy, then you’ll know who’s boss!” Yuan Qibing smashed a cup, finally calming slightly.

Yuan Qibing considered himself calm and elegant. His outburst stemmed from Luo Yue and Ning Qingxue.

A woman in her 30s, wearing a light blue professional dress, entered. She bowed respectfully, handing him a folder. “Young CEO, this is my investigation. Luo Yue’s sudden success is due to the Hong Kong Mo Family Corporation.”

Yuan Qibing frowned, ignoring the files. “The Hong Kong Mo Family? Did they know about Luo Yue’s product? Who’s the real boss?”

The woman replied, “They aren’t registered in China, and their data is secure. We can’t find their registration information. Worse, their new health pill is listed as a military cooperation. They’re reportedly negotiating with the military.”

“What?” Yuan Qibing stood. He wasn’t stupid. He knew he couldn’t rush things.

If Luo Yue had military backing, it would be difficult. The Yuan family, while powerful, couldn’t compare.

“Obtain the recipes for both pills before their military cooperation. And that Yu, their pharmacist? Bring her to He Feng secretly. As for Ning Qingxue… can a woman I want escape?”

“Did you find out who’s supporting Luo Yue?” His anger subsided, his cool countenance returning.

The woman replied, “We can’t tell yet. Yu Miaodan is very capable.”

“Capable? Haha, the better. I like capable women. Hopefully she’s capable in bed too. She’s a bit old, but she’ll do,” Yuan Qibing laughed hysterically.

The woman remained calm. “Ning Qingxue left Beijing. We found she was going to Ning Hai, but she’d already left for Hong Kong, and is now awaiting a flight to San Francisco.”

Yuan Qibing paused, confused. This was Fei Yu’s greatest moment; why leave? Her absence suited him.

“Is she married?” Yuan Qibing asked.

“Yes. Her husband is the former Ye family young master, but he was disowned for being illegitimate. He disappeared after marrying Ning Qingxue,” the woman replied.

Yuan Qibing grabbed her ass. “Alright, not bad.”

He was referring to either her work or her ass. She remained calm.

Just as he reached for her chest, his phone rang.

After a brief call, he said, “Go out.”

“Yes.” She left calmly, without adjusting her clothes.

After she left, Yuan Qibing called again, his voice cold and calculating.

“Uncle Ping, what did Dad say?” His voice lacked emotion.

A deep voice answered, “Young CEO, the CEO is here. I’ll hand him the phone.”

An older voice followed, “Bing’er, I know what happened. Luo Yue is cocky, but we need to investigate before acting. Our family rule is careful planning, swift revenge. We avoid conflict, but if we fight, we win decisively. We leave no survivors.”

“Yes, Dad. I’ve investigated. Their support isn’t that strong. Ning Qingxue is leaving for San Francisco in two hours,” His voice was measured and respectful.

“Mhm. But don’t underestimate Ning Qingxue’s husband. Though missing, the Song family says Ye Mo is not simple. Song Qiming ordered them not to offend Ye Mo. I don’t know if it’s related to the Ye family, but be careful.”

Yuan Qibing replied, “I know, but the Song and Ye families aren't as strong as they claim. They’re declining without any real opposition. The Song family was even kicked out of Beijing.”
