“What’s she doing here? First, it’s Miss Hong, and now there’s Shi Gao. Did you all decide to get together to rebel against me today?” the guy called Brother Mao grumbled. “Miss Hong, you can’t torture her anymore. Otherwise, I won’t be able to protect you if anything happens! I’ll go and see what’s up with Shi Gao first!”
“Oh no! Brother Mao! Brother Mao! A group of people has barged in!”
Xiang Yang listened as the chaotic voices around her grew further and further away, and she could no longer hold on. During the last moment before she lost consciousness, Xiang Yang inwardly sighed, ‘ There really is retribution in this world!’
“Xiang Yang!” Yun Nan exclaimed and rushed over to hold the bloody Xiang Yang. “Ambulance! Call the ambulance!” Yun Nan cried out, her voice filled with extreme fear.
It was a mess outside, and the sounds of fighting, wailing, and screaming rose and fell. A tall man had Shi Gao’s hands gripped behind her back, and she struggled as she watched Yun Nan and paramedics rush out with a stretcher carrying a badly mutilated person.
Shi Gao stared at the bloody figure with wide eyes. “She’s really here? Yun Nan, you despicable woman! You used me!”
Yun Nan stopped in her tracks and walked over to Shi Gao. She raised her hand and slapped the woman hard across the face. “Even your life won’t be enough compensation if anything happens to Xiang Yang! What value do you have that’s worthy for me to use?”
With that, Yun Nan turned around and ran after the paramedics. She caught up to them and hopped into the ambulance. The police sirens rang out; the police had arrived. Shi Gao looked at Chen Nian and Chang Yuan before her, her eyes finally showing despair.
“Did you guys follow me here?” Shi Gao asked in a trembling voice. Chang Yuan replied expressionlessly, “Would you like us to thank you?”
Shi Gao’s legs went weak, and her eyes glazed over as she muttered, “Why? Why? Didn’t you hate her? Why didn’t you kill her? Why did you bring her back here instead?”
Lan Long elegantly wiped the purplish red fruit juice on his hands with a wet towel before a huge TV screen. On the screen, Xiang Yang was carried into the ambulance, covered in blood, and Yun Nan turned around and slapped Shi Gao before following Xiang Yang.
Lan Long chuckled and used the remote control to freeze the image on Yun Nan’s angry and hostile face as she turned around. Someone gently pushed open the door. A middle-aged man walked in and called out softly, “Young Master.”
Lan Long nodded in response and pointed at the screen. “Mr. Lou, is this Yun Nan?”
Mr. Lou glanced at the screen and replied, “Yes, sir.”
Lan Long smiled and said, “Hm, she’s quite pretty. I like her; she’s lively, vivacious, and gorgeous, too.”
Mr. Lou was silent before stating, “I’ve sent people to get Ah Xi and Miss Hong out. As for Shi Gao…”
“Get her out too, if it’s convenient, and send her to Plum City. She has a way with managing people, but her temper needs adjusting. I don’t like people who are full of themselves! I heard that someone wants to buy the bar, ‘A Vision of Eternity?” Lan Long inquired.
“Yes,” Mr. Lou answered truthfully. “Shi Gao somehow offended the Shi family’s young lady. The Shi family’s young lady threatened to buy ‘A Vision of Eternity and has already begun working towards it.”
Lan Long sighed softly, “Look at them; they’re all so motivated and hardworking! Whereas our people? They’re busy thinking about fighting each other all day long. All of them are useless! We have to do everything ourselves!
Hmph! How disappointing.”
Mr. Lou didn’t dare to speak. “I take it that the Shi Corporation’s shareholders are holding firm and have decided not to sell their shares?” Lan Long asked unhurriedly.
“Yes, but our people haven’t given up. They’re still working hard,” Mr. Lou said softly.
“That Yun Nan is truly amazing! She managed to convince and gain the shareholders’ trust with just a few words. Mr. Lou, why are the Shi brothers so lucky? They’re so lucky that I really hate them so much! In my mind, I can’t tolerate the existence of such people because they make me seem especially unfortunate in comparison!” Lan Long complained, sounding like a child lamenting his lack of toys.
“Young Master, even though things aren’t going well for us on the Shi family’s side, we’re making excellent progress on the Xi and Liang families’ sides, especially the Xi family. Shi Gao was the one who helped us out with that,” Mr. Lou carefully stated.
Lan Long knew what Mr. Lou was thinking. “Mr. Lou, you don’t have to protect them. Would they need you to worry about them if they’re truly capable? Those who are incapable will remain useless losers, no matter how much you help them. Hmph! I think that Lin Yu isn’t bad. She’s better than Shi Gao in terms of scheming and resourcefulness. See if we can make her one of our own.”
“Yes, Young Master! Then, about Xiang Yang…” Mr. Lou finally asked the most important question.
Lan Long lightly sighed, “Tell me, Mr. Lou, how can a woman become so unrecognizable after marrying someone? She was so arrogant and domineering in the past.. Really, that self-conceited and superior attitude of hers! Any man would fall in love with her! *Sigh* Why did she become so meek after she married Shi Ke? I don’t get it; I really don’t!”
