Chapter 1055: 1065 A Tough Battle (3)
Jin Bo glanced at Huo Jinnan and Qin Shaojin, "The person who acted shouldn’t be Wu Long."
Huo Jinnan sat there, looking down at the cigarette in his hand, his voice low and cold, "For now, let’s assume it was Wu Long."
Jin Bo looked at Huo Jinnan, "So you know who it is?"
Thinking that Huo Jinnan had also come to A City before, could it be the Xiang Family?
But the Huo Family and the Xiang Family are old acquaintances, they shouldn’t meet with such hostility, right?
Huo Jinnan glanced at Jin Bo, not planning to explain. He believed that the trick he used before, the Xiang Family must have emulated it, and it was done cleanly, nothing should be traceable.
If so, then, as a gentleman, he would let Wu Long take the blame.
Jin Bo looked at Huo Jinnan, "This time, there are some quite promising investment projects..."
Huo Jinnan looked at Jin Bo, "I’m leaving tomorrow morning."
Jin Bo, "..."
Huo Jinnan shifted his gaze to Qin Shaonan, flicked the ash off his cigarette, "Leaving it all to you."
Qin Shaonan said a casual "You’re welcome", then asked, "Why not leave in the afternoon?"
Huo Jinnan took a drag on his cigarette, "I’ll go with you in the afternoon."
Qin Shaonan sat there, playing with the half-smoked cigarette in his hand, spoke coldly, "I can go alone."
Huo Jinnan looked up, gave Qin Shaonan a slight glance, "It’s always necessary to score some points with the father-in-law at the right time."
Qin Shaonan looked at Huo Jinnan, said nothing more, and began to eat.
Qin Shaojin smiled, "My uncle can rest in peace after a hundred years."
...
After lunch, Huo Jinnan looked at Qin Shaonan, "I’ll rest in my room for a while, we’ll leave in an hour."
Qin Shaonan acknowledged, both of them stood up almost simultaneously and left the private room.
Jin Bo was the third to leave.
Qin Shaojin and Wen Nuan left last. They were stopped by the waiter and then realized they hadn’t paid the bill!
He looked at the waiter, couldn’t help but confirm again, "Mr. Jin really didn’t settle the bill?"
The waiter looked at Qin Shaojin, "He really didn’t."
Huo, the boss!
Qin Shaojin fished out his wallet from his black sport pants and handed a card to the waiter.
After paying the bill, returning to the room, Qin Shaojin closed the door and sat Wen Nuan on the black leather sofa, "Let me check if you’re hurt."
"No."
Wen Nuan wrapped her arms around Qin Shaojin’s neck.
Qin Shaojin’s charming eyes looked at Wen Nuan, glinting with a golden hue, "Your word doesn’t count, I need to check myself."
As soon as he finished speaking, his beautiful hand landed on Wen Nuan’s shoulder.
He calls this checking for injuries?
Qin Shaojin nonchalantly started talking about recent events, "Were you scared these past few days?"
Wen Nuan nodded slightly when she heard the question.
"I’m sorry, I couldn’t protect you."
"The scariest thing was dreaming about that Shu Mengmeng, so terrifying!"
Hearing Shu Mengmeng’s name, Qin Shaojin looked at Wen Nuan, "In the future, you’ll see me every time you wake from a dream, you won’t be scared anymore."
"But what if... what if the engagement date has passed?"
"We’ll just choose another date."
......
Wu Long’s assistant had been waiting outside for a long time, suddenly realizing he couldn’t hear Wen Nuan’s voice anymore. He hesitated, then pushed the door open and went in, only to find no one there.
Looking up, he saw the window was open. He quickly went to the balcony of the next room, looked out, and saw no one downstairs.
He gathered all the people in Wu Mansion, searched inside and out dozens of times, still no sign of Wen Nuan, and hurriedly called Wu Long, "Mr. Wu, Miss Wen is missing."
Wu Long was about to attend the afternoon meeting when he heard what the assistant said. Before he could step outside, he stopped abruptly, his face suddenly changing color, "What did you say?"
The assistant lowered his voice and repeated himself.
Thinking about all the events from last night to today, he was furious, "Useless fools, I’ve raised a bunch of good-for-nothings!"
He hung up and, in a fit of rage, smashed his phone.
After calming down, he sat there, pondering, it must be Qin Shaojin and Huo Jinnan, those two weren’t there when he went to the venue this morning!
He really didn’t expect their approach would be so simple and crude this time, catching him completely off guard.
Taking a deep breath, he picked up his phone from the ground and made a call, "Mayor Jin, it seems Miss Wen is missing, what do you think should be done?"
Jin Bo had arrived at the venue early, sitting in his seat, casting a glance at the entering Wen Nuan and Qin Shaojin, "Mr. Wu should decide what to do."
"This..."
Wu Long thought of how he’s being under someone else’s control for the first time in his life, and it made him uncomfortable all over.
