Her silky black long hair cascaded down her elegant shoulders – making her looked like an innocent and stunning creature that was out of this world. A set of black and white formal office wear brought out her curvaceous figure. This outfit made her look extra energetic and professional. As usual, Lan ngchen was still really beautiful. Though she was wearing working attire, she still looked like a flawless goddess – akin to a flower that on top of a snowy mountain that could only be looked at but not be defiled.
"Xiaobei! You are finally here!"
A sweet and gentle smile could be seen on Lan ngchen's face when she saw Chen Xiaobei. Awestruck, Chen Xiaobei had to bring himself to go back to the reality.
"Tell . What happened? It seems like you have sothing urgent waiting to be solved."
"I was invited to a dinner tonight. I hope you can co with ."
"Is there a problem?"
Taken aback, Chen Xiaobei knew that the problem must be very serious if Lan ngchen and Madam Diana had a difficult ti solving it.
"There is actually no problem. Mr. Wang, the deputy minister of comrce told
that there is a small problem when he applied the permit for us. So, he wants
to have a dinner with the minister to co to a mutual agreent! I guess he just wanted to gain so benefit from this matter. All you need to do is bribe him later and all things would be taken care of."
"No way! I don't agree with bribing! I'm an honest man and I would never do sothing like that! Bribing him will only aid the growth of this disgusting norm in our society!"
"You are not the one that is dealing with him! You have no idea about what I'm feeling right now. If we don't please people like him, we are going to be riddled with many minor issues! Then, a lot of our ti would be wasted! So why not just solve it by bribing him?"
"Who told you that people like him are going to bother us? Let
make a call and people like him will be properly dealt with!"
With a smile on his face, Chen Xiaobei took out his cell phone.
"Are you going to call Yap Maosong?"
Lan ngchen was smart enough to know that Chen Xiaobei was going to use his connections to solve this problem. However, she also knew that Yap Maosong was not going to be a great help to them.
"Yap Maosong is in the ecology and environnt ministry. He has nothing to do with the comrce ministry. Mr. Wang can still ss with us if he wants to!"
"Hehe… Do you really think that Yap Maosong is my only connection? I'm going to call the comrce secretary himself!"
"What? Are you trying to say that you know Secretary He personally? All I know that is Secretary He is a busy man! Madam Diana and I didn't even get the chance to et him. All along, Mr. Wang is the one that talked to us on behalf of Secretary He…"
"Hello, Brother He. I need a favor from you. It's about the trade permit for ngchen's international company…"
"Y-You really know Secretary He…"
She found it hard to believe that Secretary He was Chen Xiaobei's friend. Seemingly, their relationship was really close as well.
"What? The permit has been done? And, I can collect it anyti I want? Alright. Maybe there is so miscommunication on my end. Thank you, Brother He. I will send soone to collect it tomorrow."
Upon hanging up the call, Chen Xiaobei talked said in a low voice, "Secretary He told
that the permit was done a few days ago. Also, we can collect it anyti we want."
"H-How is this even possible? Mr. Wang told
that it's not done yet! It seems like Mr. Wang wants to siphon off a huge amount of money from this deal! What a shaless bastard!"
"No! This matter is not as simple as we thought. Just get in the car first."
Upon closing the car doors, Chen Xiaobei took a look at his surroundings and sensed sothing was off.
"Look at that person!"
Chen Xiaobei pointed at the back mirror. A man in black attire could be seen standing at the corner of the street.
"That is the security guard from the Zhuang Family! I thought the witch of Zhuang Family finally let her guard down. Now, I know that she has not given up on hunting !"
"No! I don't think that witch suspects you of anything! I'm pretty sure she is targeting
this ti!"
"Targeting you? Why?"
"I have made them my enemies. Last ti, when they sent soone to capture, I managed to force their goons to confess Zhuang Family's cri to . And, I recorded it! Hence, they don't dare to do anything to
publicly. So, they resorted to using you to lure
to them!"
"So, are you trying to say that Mr. Wang is helping Zhuang Family to bring you to them?"
"That's right! There is a high probability to that!"
"Then, we shouldn't go right into their trap! If that's the case, they should have all the traps ready when you go to them! You will definitely be killed!"
"No! I have to go! If I choose not to go, the witch will start to suspect that my relationship with you is not as simple as they thought! By that ti, I will put you in danger and endanger your life!"
"This… I know what you an but I can't watch you walk into the trap and get yourself killed!"
"Don't worry! I have ways to deal with it! What you need to do right now is pretend that you don't know a single thing about it. Just make sure not to get involved in this matter. After that, you can leave the rest to !"
"But…"
"No buts! I want to know that you are safe when I deal with them! I will be distracted if you are placed in a dangerous situation! You have to listen to !"
Taken aback, Lan ngchen had not seen that Chen Xiaobei acted in such a dominant manner. Though he did not allow Lan ngchen to doubt his decision, she could still feel really safe and secure.
"Alright. I will listen to you."
The ice-cold goddess chose to be Chen Xiaobei's obedient woman in this matter. They then drove to the designated restaurant to have their dinner. The restaurant was inside a luxurious private club. Without an invitation, non-mbers were not allowed to enter this place. Judging from its location and serenity, this could be a good place to kill soone. As Chen Xiaobei expected, Mr. Wang was not there when the both of them arrived at the restaurant.
Monts later, a waiter asked Lan ngcheng to leave the room. Alone in the room, Chen Xiaobei was sitting there, waiting for the imminent storm!
