Mr. CEO, Spoil me 100 Percent! - Chapter 600

Chapter 600: Impossible Design

 

What‽ Everyone was taken aback when the words ‘mechanical heart’ were announced. What in the world is this thing?

Xinghe explained slowly, “The mechanical heart is Doctor Lu Qi’s brilliant design; it’s main purpose is to take over the human heart’s function. And this is a computer-generated prototype I’ve made using Doctor Lu’s ideas and design.”

Xinghe pressed the remote again and the screen changed. It was a mechanical heart where one could look into its internal structure. The heart was installed into the human body and was beating like a real heart. Every time it did so, the heart would pump blood throughout the human body. The screen showed in detail how the mechanical heart really functioned.

Everyone’s jaws were on the floor when they saw this medical engineering marvel, especially the doctors!

This was because they understood the hard work that went into this thing. Outsiders might not understand it, but they knew how hard it was to come up with something like this.

It was not that the design was brand new but the technical difficulties the design entailed were not something that could be solved overnight. Most of the difficulties wouldn’t be solved even if a hundred years had passed. Furthermore, the mechanical heart was huge compared to human organs, so it had a high requirement on the materials as well. In conclusion, this was an impossible design!

“And this design here, Doctor Lu and I have already completed.” Xinghe’s sudden voice reverberated across the room and into everyone’s ears.

A doctor gasped in shock. “That’s impossible!”

Other doctors chimed in.

“This is impossible; how can you two possibly accomplish the impossible?”

“That’s right, no one is able to complete such a complicated design!”

“Xia Xinghe, stop trying to trick us with this computer model,” Lin Qian yelled angrily. However, for some reason, anxiety sprung up in her heart. She felt that the other woman wasn’t lying…

Regardless, she had to convince others and herself that Xinghe was lying to their faces.

The Madam President though was excited. How good this will be if it’s true!

Xinghe expected as much and she said softly, “You can decide for yourself whether this is true or not after you hear Doctor Lu’s explanation. I believe the mechanical heart’s theory and application; Doctor Lu will slowly explain it to all of you.”

She then turned to share a glance with Lu Qi. Lu Qi accepted the remote and started his detailed explanation.

Xinghe’s computer-generated prototype was perfect; it was well-designed down to the smallest detail.

The prototype could be broken down into smaller pieces or sections when Lu Qi went to explain the theoretical application for a particular part. This facilitated the room’s understanding of the project. Lu Qi continued his explanation section by section…

The room was so quiet one could hear a pin drop. Everyone stared straight at the screen, their ears wide open. The doctors especially didn’t dare move their focus away from the presentation, afraid that they would miss something. The design was simply too ground-breaking!

Lu Qi’s theoretical backing was precise and intricate, a medical miracle. Like a new-born, they listened to him attentively, soaking up all his knowledge…

Chapter 601: Dust!

 

Even Lin Qian and Tong Yan were stunned beyond words. Tong Yan might not be a doctor, but she knew the design’s value and it came from Xinghe and Lu Qi’s hands!

Tong Yan’s face was as dark as Lin Qian’s because she knew her face-slapping was coming. This was the first time she had faced such a grievance in her life.

She glared at Xinghe with shame and anger. For some reason, Tong Yan felt Xinghe was laughing at her internally even though Xinghe didn’t give a flying f*ck about her presence. This riled her up even more.

Different from her, Lin Qian’s eyes shone with a shadowy light. After Lu Qi finished his explanation, the room remained in stunned silence.

He smiled. “That’s the theoretical basis behind our design, are there any questions?”

“Is this really your design?” someone stuttered.

Lu Qi nodded firmly. “Yes, Miss Xia and I designed this together.”

“…” This is crazy, how could they possibly design something as impossible as this‽

“But can you really make this a reality? This design looks fine but creating it is impossible!” a doctor yelled recalcitrantly.

As if to prove they were not worse than Lu Qi, others followed. “That’s right, theory-wise it might be successful but building it will be impossible; the technique will be too demanding and there is a lack of necessary materials.”

“Indeed, you two will not be able to overcome these two problems!”

The more they yelled, the more confident they felt about themselves. They silently sighed in relief because this proved that they were not as bad as they thought. Lu Qi had only finished the design and creating it was a whole other issue, so their level was not far away from Lu Qi’s.

Even Lin Qian and Tong Yan released the breath they were holding. Just as the smug smiles started to reappear on their faces, their hope was ground into powder!

“Who said the technique will be an issue?” He smiled confidently. “Regarding this, there’s no need to worry because Miss Xia is the top talent in this field. If we could not overcome the technical difficulties, we would not have come up with this design. The prototype you see on screen is all Miss Xia’s handiwork. As a doctor, I can only provide her with the medical knowledge; in the technical aspect, she was the undeniable expert.”

Therefore, the physics, mathematics, and electrical circuiting issues were all resolved by Xinghe!

The room was given yet another shock. They all stared at Xinghe like she was a monster. This woman which they assumed was a useless Mr. Nan Gua was such a genius? She was so young and was only a woman, how could she be so good at her work?

Impossible…

As if reading their thoughts, Xinghe said calmly, “If you have any questions, feel free to ask me anytime.”

She wasn’t afraid of their questions or tests because this was really her handiwork!

“Xinghe,” Madam President grabbed her hand and said with teary eyes, “I didn’t know you are so good at what you do, no wonder Lu Qi wanted you to come help him. Now you’ve completely won me over.”

Madam President became even kinder to her.

For other people, the slaps on their faces sure stung.

However, Xinghe maintained her usual aloof countenance.

Chapter 602: The Lin Family Is in Trouble

 

“Madam, it’s good that you believe me because your trust is the only one I need.”

Madam President understood what was left unsaid, she turned around and lectured the room, “From this moment on, no one is allowed to doubt Miss Xia’s capability anymore. Do not entertain yourself with baseless rumors; if you have time to do that, you might as well focus on your own research.”

“Madam is right.” The shame-faced doctors smiled. “We misunderstood Miss Xia, since she is so capable, of course we won’t doubt her in future.”

“Miss Xia, you’ve proven yourself with this design so why didn’t you show us this from the beginning? We would have avoided all the unnecessary drama.”

“That’s right, Miss Xia, why didn’t you show us your design earlier?”

Xinghe didn’t answer but turned to look at Lin Qian. The answer was obvious; she had to be guarded around the Lin family!

Lin Qian met her sharp gaze and her heart skipped a beat. Could Xia Xinghe have seen through our plan?

No matter what, she had to return quickly and inform her grandfather of this latest development. Trouble was brewing for the Lin family…

After Xinghe and Lu Qi’s shocking show, the doctors had lost all interest in their work; they surrounded the duo, discussing their design endlessly. Even Madam President was caught up in their discussion.

However, even though the theory and technique were no longer issues, there was still the material to find. However, they were optimistic that they would find the necessary material soon. Utilizing the entire power of the government, they believed the material would be found soon after.

They had no idea finding the material was actually the biggest hurdle. Xinghe and Lu Qi didn’t lead them into the knowledge much less reveal the energy crystal. Just as the room crowded around Xinghe and Lu Qi, Lin Qian snuck out of the room.

After she left, Tong Yan caught up to her. “Sister Lin Qian, where are you going?”

Lin Qian turned around and her pale face showed. “I’m not feeling so well so I have to go home for some time.”

Tong Yan thought she was feeling sad from being pressured. She consoled her immediately. “Sister Lin Qian, don’t be sad. That Xia Xinghe is still so useless, so what if she knows how to draw? Plus, she must be doing this on purpose since she hid the design from everyone else! She must have purposely made us misunderstand her and then made use of the chance to shame us!”

Tong Yan was too conceited to admit she was at fault, so the fault had to be with someone else, and that someone had to be Xia Xinghe!

Lin Qian’s eyes shone slightly, and she added angrily, “You’re right, that woman is such a snake. She must be doing this because of me, how unlucky our Lin family is that we attracted the ire of someone like her.”

Tong Yan was made even angrier by her words.

“That’s right, she is really an awful human being. She killed Sister Lin Yun, sabotaged Sister Lin Jing, and now she’s even coming after you! No way! I will not let her win!”

“Little Yan, you do treat me the best…” Lin Qian immediately offered an appreciative smile.

Tong Yan smiled smugly. “Naturally, after all, we’ll be family in the future.”

“If Lin Xuan were to hear that, I’m sure he’d be over the moon,” Lin Qian said meaningfully.

The mention of Lin Xuan turned Tong Yan’s mood around.

“Sister Lin Qian, I want to follow you. I’ve not seen Brother Lin Xuan for days already.”

“Okay, he’ll be glad to see you…”

Just like that, they both left. No one other than Xinghe noticed their disappearance.

Chapter 603: Finally Made Their move

 

Xinghe’s lips curved into a smile as she glanced at the door that Lin Qian and Tong Yan had left through. Lin family, your move.

…

The Lin family was indeed shocked when they heard this news, but in front of Tong Yan, they took the news with pleasant surprise.

“Who would have thought they can come up with an amazing design like that? There is finally hope for the president,” Elder Lin said with deep appreciation. He looked and sounded like a kind elderly, and that was the impression Tong Yan had of him, a kind and loving elder.

“Grandpa Lin, they only have theoretical success; it is another issue whether the thing can be realistically built or not.” Tong Yan pouted. “However, it’s still good that they can build it because then my uncle can be saved. Regardless, whether they can do it or not, that Xia Xinghe sure is annoying!”

“The president’s health is more important than personal feuds,” Elder Lin said understandingly. Beside him, Lin Xuan chimed in coldly, “Grandfather, should we just forget about Xiao Yun’s death and Jing Jing’s loss?”

“What else can we do when the girl is capable of saving the president?”

Lin Xuan’s face darkened, and he stood up suddenly saying, “You guys have fun, I have something else to attend do, so I’ll leave first.”

Since he was leaving, Tong Yan had no reason to stay.

“Brother Xuan, where are you going? Wait for me…” Tong Yan stood up and quickly told the rest, “Grandpa, Uncle Lin, I also have to leave; I will come see you another day.”

Elder Lin nodded with a kind smile. “Okay, go ahead, remember to come visit us when you have time because we will miss you.”

“No problem!” Tong Yan immediately rushed to catch up to Lin Xuan.

Elder Lin was still smiling kindly watching Tong Yan’s retreating shadow. Lin Kang noticed this and realized what his father was thinking. He told Lin Qian, “Xiao Qian, why don’t you leave us be? I have something to discuss with your grandfather.”

“Yes, Uncle.” Lin Qian moved to oblige. This was the rule of the Lin family; whenever the men needed to discuss something, the womenfolk had to make themselves scarce. The women were on a need-to-know basis.

After everyone left, only Elder Lin and Lin Kang remained in the living room.

“Hmm, Kang, in the blink of an eye, Little Yan has gotten so big,” Elder Lin lamented.

Lin Kang nodded. “Indeed, several decades have passed. Father, we’ve waited for so long.”

The kindness immediately disappeared from Elder Lin’s eyes. “We’ve indeed waited for too long, so long in fact that I’m at the end of my patience.”

“Success was already in front of our eyes and the Xi family had to appear and ruin our plan!” Lin Kang said through gritted teeth. “And that b*tch, if we’d known she would be such a roadblock, we should have killed her in the very beginning!”

Elder Lin chuckled darkly. “Do not worry, her death is a guarantee, but now is not the time…”

“Father, if not now, then when? For the sake of this plan, we’ve sacrificed too much! Xiao Yun, Jing Jing have already been sacrificed. That woman has ruined too many good deals we had going! Therefore, she has to be removed! We mustn’t let them complete the mechanical heart research as well.”

Elder Lin said with authority, “Do you think I don’t know that? These people have to be removed, but not by our own hands.”

Lin Kang was shocked. “Father, what do you mean by that?”

Chapter 604: Force the Lin Family’s Hand

 

Elder Lin berated him for his stupidity. “All those years floating about the political world were really wasted on you; you’re even blunter than Little Xuan. Why do you think he leads Little Yan away?”

Comprehension dawned for Lin Kang. “We’re sending Little Yan out?”

“She’s the perfect candidate,” Elder Lin said confidently. “We cannot allow this to be traced back to us, so we have to borrow someone else’s hands to do this, as long as that person is not from the Lin family.”

Lin Kang started to get worried. “Won’t this harm Little Yan? If this thing were to be exposed…”

Elder Lin laughed. “Have you not considered Little Yan’s identity? Who dares to do anything to her? At the end of the day, it’s just a dead woman, there’re many ways to cover that up.”

Indeed, if anything happened to Tong Yan, the Shen family and Tong family would definitely intervene. Combined with the good words from the Lin family, the president would definitely forgive her. Therefore, nothing would befall Tong Yan, thus she was the perfect candidate to do the Lin family’s dirty work.

Lin Kang finally understood, and he joined in with the laughter. “Father, I suppose this is what they meant by train an army for a thousand days to use it for an hour.”

Elder Lin laughed even harder. “Indeed, we sowed the right seed so many years ago, it’s finally time for us to sow our reward!”

…

“You’ve revealed the information about the design now, aren’t you afraid that the Lin family will do something against you?” Lu Qi asked Xinghe with worry after they sent everyone away. Needless to say, Xinghe had already considered that.

She replied, “Now is the time to force the Lin family to tip their hands and make a mistake.”

“But, this is still too risky. You are completely unprepared, and this is City A. If they launch an attack against you, I’m afraid you will not be able to defend yourself.”

Xinghe raised her eyes slightly. “Who said I’m unprepared?”

“You’ve taken precautions?” Lu Qi was pleasantly surprised.

Xinghe nodded. “However, I do agree that this is highly risky. However, only by revealing our research will we be able to force them into action, or else if we just carried on with our design and cured the president, nothing would have happened. The Lin family have been waiting for this for years, they won’t mind waiting for a few more. However, in a few years’ time, everything will be too late! Plus, my patience can’t last that long.”

“That might be true, but still, I worry about you. It’s good that if this is successful, but if not, it’ll only expose our weakness to them…”

Xinghe shook her head and determination filled her eyes. “This is a step that I must take, I’ve done everything I could, so I leave the rest to fate. However, I believe firmly that the Lin family will not be able to escape their comeuppance this time! Karma is a nasty b*tch!”

Furthermore, if this plan was a success, their end wouldn’t be that far away.

…

To give the Lin family the chance to get her, Xinghe requested to have a few days off from the president’s house. The reason she gave was she wanted to visit Mubai. After all, she had been away from home for quite some time and worried about him.

Madam President understood how she felt so approved of her holiday and had the guards escort her to the airport.

Xinghe accepted her kindness and the car soon left the president’s house.

Inside the car, Xinghe immediately called Ali and the rest. “I’m on the move, wait for me at the old place.”

Ali, who Xinghe had planted at City A earlier, replied, “Okay, we’ll wait for you then.”

Ever since she arrived at City A, she had thought of a lot of ways to deal with the Lin family, but no matter the plot, she would need manpower.

Chapter 605: Miscalculated

 

Therefore, she had already arranged for Ali and the others to hide in City A, and she was on the way to go meet them. After they reconvened, they would wait for the Lin family to strike. However, Xinghe miscalculated one person, which was Tong Yan.

She didn’t expect the girl would be so intractable and come after her on behalf of the Lin family. A royal heiress but dumb enough to do other’s dirty laundry. That… Xinghe didn’t expect…

However, Xinghe would know all of this much later.

…

When Xinghe realized something was wrong, the car had already strayed far away from the allocated route.

“This road doesn’t lead to the airport,” she said to the security guard in the car.

He responded in a serious tone, “This is a shortcut. Miss Xia, do not worry, we will send you to the airport safely.”

Xinghe felt suspicious but she didn’t voice it. After all, these were Madam President’s men; she had no reason to harm her. However, the car strayed further and further into the countryside…

The president’s house was already pretty isolated, away from the city but even after so long, there was still no trace of human activity around them. Xinghe’s suspicion grew bigger, something had gone wrong.

When she tried to surreptitiously send an SOS message, she was spotted by the trained security.

“Miss Xia, I advise you to put away your phone. Don’t worry, we will not hurt you,” the security told her with a sharp glance.

Xinghe was not surprised and asked calmly, “What are you up to?”

The security was impressed by her calm reaction. This woman is indeed a character.

“Someone wants to meet you, so we’re taking you to her.”

“Who is she?”

“You’ll know soon enough.”

Xinghe could attempt her own guess. It was either the Lin family or Tong Yan, only they were powerful enough to buy out the security. However, it came as a surprise to her that security at the president’s house could be bought…

She was too careless. However, she couldn’t sit there and do nothing!

Xinghe pressed rapidly twice on her phone and the triangulation software within sent out her phone’s signal.

The security thought she was going to violate his warning and make a call but when he saw that she was merely touching it, he didn’t do anything.

The car soon arrived at their destination. Other than another parked car, there was nothing else but nature.

The security stopped and told Xinghe, “Miss Xia, you can get out now. That car over there will escort you to the airport.”

Xinghe stared at the security coldly. “Do you sincerely think I will reach the airport in one piece?”

The security was honestly shocked. “Of course.”

“You will pay dearly for your stupidity.” The moment Xinghe said so, the door was pulled open. Two men in black dragged Xinghe out of the car roughly and clamped their palms over her mouth.

The security was beyond shocked; this was different from what they’d told him!

He rushed to help Xinghe but one of the men held him back and tossed him a phone. “The boss wants to have a word with you; if you have any questions, you can ask her directly!”

The security guard picked up the phone and Tong Yan’s condescending voice drifted through from the other end. “If you still value your life, then follow my directions closely. Remember, after Xia Xinghe descended from your car, she disappeared from your sight and you have no idea where she went. However, you think you saw her get into a car that you could not identify.”

Chapter 606: Fend for Herself (End of the Heart mini arc)

 

“This was all arranged by her, and you had nothing to do with it. Do you understand?”

“Miss Tong, why you are doing this? You just told me…”

“Who are you to question me‽ If you don’t follow my orders, I can’t guarantee what will happen to you, after all, you must know that I am above the law,” Tong Yan said smugly and that chilled the security.

At that moment, he remembered Xinghe’s final words to him. You will pay dearly for your stupidity…

Indeed, how stupid he was!

He was tricked by Tong Yan. Ultimately, he had no choice; Xinghe had already been taken away and the culprit was Tong Yan. If he didn’t follow her orders, the result was only death. His only hope was to follow her demands. Even if the Madam President believed him, he would be fired for sloppy work. Regardless, as Xinghe had said, he was going to pay one way or another…

He could only hope that the payment wouldn’t be too huge.

…

Tong Yan’s men went about their work rapidly. Even though the kidnapping was sudden, Xinghe didn’t show any trace of fear. Weirdly enough, this was not her first time being kidnapped.

The men in black were unsettled by her unusually calm demeanor. However, since Xinghe was already tied up, she couldn’t do anything even if she wanted to. Her cooperation was probably out of resignation to her fate.

That was not completely wrong because Xinghe did realize resistance would be futile. They had tied up her four limbs and had masked her eyes. She couldn’t move or see. Only thing she could do was ascertain their location through audio cues.

However, compared to Tianxin’s men, these people were professionals. They didn’t give Xinghe any opening and along the way, she didn’t pick up any worthwhile clues.

Finally, she was pulled out of the car and tossed into a basement. She knew it was underground because of the mildew smell and the height that she had fallen into. The men disappeared and left her there.

Xinghe had assumed the culprit would appear to personally kill or laugh in her face so she was really surprised when they just deserted her there.

In other words, they were going to shutter her up and let her die from starvation?

…

Xinghe had disappeared!

Ali’s group waited for her for a very long time, but she didn’t make an appearance and her phone was unreachable.

They realized the triangulation system on her phone had been activated for a short period of time before the signal got cut off. Therefore, something must have happened to Xinghe!

They started to get worried. Sam immediately went into action. “Ali, you stay here to wait for Xinghe. Cairn contact the Xi family now and inform then about this. Wolf and I will go find her.”

“Okay!” Then they separated carry out their tasks. Sam and Wolf led the security to search for Xinghe.

Cairn contacted Elder Xi because if something really happened to Xinghe, the Xi family needed to know because they were probably the only ones who could save her.

When he received Cairn’s phone call, Elder Xi’s face dimmed. It was the thing he feared, something bad did happen to Xinghe!

Chapter 607: He’s Coming!

 

Elder Xi’s tone reflected his depressed mood. “Okay, I understand. I’ll figure out a way to save her soon. If there are any updates, call me.”

“Okay,” Cairn promised before hanging up.

When Elder Xi prepared to call the president, another call came in for him. It was from the hospital. Elder Xi’s heart stopped, afraid that it would be bad news about Mubai. He pressed the accept call button with a shaking hand.

The doctor’s cheerful voice drifted out. “Elder Xi, congratulation. Young Master Xi is awake!”

Elder Xi stood up from sheer joy. “What did you say‽”

“Young Master Xi is awake; he’s finally awake!”

…

This was a wonderful news for the Xi family. They immediately rushed to the hospital and a conscious Mubai greeted them.

Even though he had just woken up, his eyes were as sharp as a tack. He leaned on the bedrest, his spirit as one just woken up from a fruitful sleep. It was as if the past few months didn’t even happen for him.

Mrs. Xi broke down and hugged him. “Mubai, you’re finally awake! Mommy has been waiting for this moment for so long.”

Mubai’s eyes scanned the crowd rapidly but he didn’t see Xinghe among them. Even though Xinghe was saved from the explosion, he still couldn’t stop worrying until he saw her in person.

“Where is Xinghe?” Mubai opened his mouth to ask.

Elder Xi said with difficulties, “Since you’ve awakened, then you have the right to know. Just moments ago, something happened to her.”

Mubai’s pupils widened and his tone dropped for several degrees. “Grandfather, what did you say?”

“Mubai, many things happened while you were out of it…” Elder Xi filled Mubai in on all the recent development.

When he finished, he sighed. “There’s nothing we could do but let her go to City A alone, we didn’t think she would suddenly disappear like this. We suspect that she has been kidnapped, but don’t worry, I’ve contacted the president and he has promised to send his men to go look for her.”

Even so, Mubai couldn’t rest his beating heart. He sat up and pulled off the covers.

Mrs. Xi stopped him immediately. “Mubai, what are you doing?”

“Going to City A!” Mubai answered with fierce determination. This shocked everyone there.

“You cannot do that. You’ve only just woken up, you cannot put too much pressure on your body so soon. We will figure out a way to solve Xinghe’s issue, you just need to stay put,” Elder Xi advised him.

Mubai’s dark eyes met him and these forceful words tumbled out of his mouth, “Grandfather, you yourself have said something bad has happened to her, so how can you expect me to sit idle here in the hospital? I have to go to City A. I will not allow anything to happen to her or else giving me back this life would have been a waste!”

What?

Elder Xi and the rest were stunned beyond words. If something were to happen to Xinghe, Mubai would surrender his new lease on life as well…?

They finally understood his conviction and didn’t stop him anymore. Mubai called a private jet and flew to City A.

Xinghe had no idea he was coming; she was still struggling to find a way to save herself.

The Lin family had no clue he was coming as well.

A storm was going to rage at City A. However, it was unknowable who would remain when the clouds cleared and who would disappear in the storm…

Chapter 608: Looking for Xia Xinghe

 

Even though Elder Xi had retired, the president still valued his contribution. Furthermore, Xinghe was the engineer behind the mechanical heart, so her disappearance was high on the president’s priority list. He had ordered all of his men to go look for her.

Not only that, many other people were also helping out with the search.

Sam’s group was looking for her. The Gu family and Yan family also were also looking for her.

Gu Li’s and Yan Lu’s families were both based in City A. When they heard the bad news from Munan, they immediately reached out to their home to ask for help. Even the business world in City A was out and about in search of Xinghe; this was Mubai’s influence.

In other words, the whole of City A was out looking for Xinghe. Tong Yan didn’t expect that the whole city would be mobilized just because Xinghe had disappeared for half a day. Even Lu Qi sent his men out to aid in the search…

The scale of the search rescue didn’t make Tong Yan feel uneasy, instead she was pissed. Who was this simple woman that she deserved so many people’s attention?

In this world, no woman was allowed to one-up her! This steeled Tong Yan’s determination to starve Xinghe to death!

After all, she was sealed off from the world and as long as the security didn’t say anything, no one would find Xinghe. One week later, after Xinghe had died, it would all have been too late.

Regarding the consequences for killing Xinghe, Tong Yan was not at all worried. She was confident that no one was able to judge her, because the Shen family and Tong family would do everything to save her. Xia Xinghe’s death would be covered up and no one would find out the truth.

After all, Tong Yan was raised in a life where mistakes had no serious consequences. She was the treasured princess of the whole world; no one was able to judge her. She was several stations above everyone else. Definitely no one would fault her even if they found out she was responsible for the death of a common woman like Xia Xinghe.

Instead Tong Yan started imagining the happiness on Lin Xuan’s face when he found out she had helped him remove such a huge enemy. He would be deeply appreciative of her help. Just like childhood, every time she helped him take care certain people, he would be ecstatic and willing to accompany her for a few days.

This time, he would be overjoyed by her accomplish and perhaps would be happy enough to agree to be her boyfriend.

The rescue mission for Xinghe continued while Tong Yan was lost in her sweet dreams.

…

However, no matter how hard they tried, they couldn’t find any trace of Xinghe!

The security guard was detained. He swore on his life that Xinghe requested to get out of his car on their way to the airport and hopped into another car. Therefore, he also had no idea where she had gone.

Several interrogations later and his testimony was still the same. He didn’t dare to tell the truth, because if he did, he would have Xinghe’s death on his hands. They wouldn’t punish Tong Yan and he would be perfect scapegoat. Therefore, he wouldn’t reveal the truth, no matter what.

He had already taken the wrong first step and the way back had been removed so he could only continue on this path of sin while ignoring his conscience. They were not going to get any clues about Xinghe from him.

Night had fallen but Xinghe was still nowhere to be found.

Other than the Lin family who celebrated behind closed doors, everyone else was incredibly worried. Even Madam President felt that way. She was worried about the talented woman’s safety, and she felt guilty about it. After all, it was her own security that lost Xinghe.

The president noticed her anxiousness and consoled her, “Don’t worry, the police are conducting a thorough search as we speak; they will definitely find her.”

Chapter 609: Charging into the President’s House

 

“Let’s hope so…” The moment Madam President said that, the president’s phone rang. It was his secretary; apparently Xi family’s Xi Mubai was there to meet him.

The president was shocked. “Xi Mubai?”

“Yes, and he said that if you refuse to see him, he can’t guarantee what he will do,” the secretary reported anxiously. Mubai was openly threatening the president; he sure was brave. If not for his unique identity, the secretary would have called security on him. The president was understandably shocked; Xi Mubai dared to threaten him…

However, he wasn’t offended, instead he ordered, “Let him in.”

“Okay.”

“Who is it?” Madam President asked, and the president sighed.

“It’s Xi Mubai from the Xi family.”

Madam President was shocked. “He’s already awake? He must be here for Xinghe.”

“That should be it.”

Mubai was quickly led in by the security. He came alone and in a wheel chair, pushed into the room by the security, behind him were ten more security guards. They were afraid he might do something stupid.

Mubai was unfazed by the heightening security; his expression was calm and presence strong.

The president and his wife sighed when they saw him. This young man sure has courage and vigor to dare to charge into the president’s house on his own.

Mubai greeted them calmly and said, “I’m sorry, it is not my intention to disturb but my fiancée has disappeared after she arrived here, so I am a bit worried.”

The president nodded understandingly. “I can understand your feelings, but you shouldn’t have barged in here without invitation. This time, I’ll forgive you by giving face to your grandfather, but it had better not happen again.”

“Don’t worry, as long as Xinghe is safe, I will not do anything,” Mubai answered nonchalantly.

The president and his wife were shocked. In other words, if something happened to Xinghe, he would do something to harm them…

“Xi Mubai, do you understand who you are threatening?” the president questioned gravely.

Mubai didn’t show any sign of fear. He smirked. “I know very well what I’m doing, therefore, Mr. President, I hope you can locate Xinghe soon. I only have one request: she must return safely.”

“We also hope that she is safe,” Madam President relented. “Don’t worry, I’m sure the police will find her soon enough.”

“But there’s still no news even though half a day has passed,” Mubai voiced his disgruntlement. “Therefore, I came in person, hopefully to hear for myself what has really happened.”
