"Chairman, the directors have left Vice Chairman Fang's office." Song Yao walked up to Fang Yuchen and reported Fang Yiming's situation to him. Fang Yuchen turned to look at him and raised an eyebrow. "How did Fang Yiming react?" "The directors seemed unhappy. Fang Yiming must be furious." "Furious?" Fang Yuchen smirked. "I don't think he'd be merely furious if he knows what's going to happen." "What do we do now, Chairman?" "Let the police continue with their investigations. They should be making an arrest in two days." "Are we going to get a conclusion to the warehouse fire?" Song Yao became excited. "Mm. Keep a close eye on Yuan Qingsong in the next few days. Don't let him meet Fang Yiming or my Eldest Uncle." Song Yao nodded. "Alright, I'll keep an eye on him." "Thank you," Fang Yuchen said with a smile. "Don't mention it. It's my duty." Song Yao had been personally groomed by Old Man Fang, and he was personally assigned to Fang Yuchen by the old man to soli
The next evening, the atmosphere at the charity dinner was very lively. Not only were many major celebrities invited, but many big shots from various fields were also in attendance. Jing Liuyue walked on the red carpet with a beautiful woman in tow. He wore a diplomatic smile on his handsome face, even though the flashes from the cameras surrounding him did not cease. The host asked Jing Liuyue several interview questions, and he answered each of them before walking into the hall with the woman. "Do you remember what Pierce looks like?" Jing Liuyue whispered to the woman next to him. The woman nodded. "Yes, I do." Jing Liuyue smiled satisfactorily. "Don't let me down." "Don't worry, I'll succeed." Jing Liuyue and the woman wandered around the hall, but they did not find Pierce. Was Jin Fengchen mistaken? Perhaps Pierce was not supposed to come? Just when Jing Liuyue was pondering, he heard someone shout, "Shangguan Qian and Shangguan Yuan are here." Jing Liuyue tu
Fang Yuchen did not expect to run into Shangguan Yuan at the gala.The duo was stunned when they noticed each other.Fang Yuchen was the first to snap out of his daze as he spoke with a gentle smile, "What a coincidence."Shangguan Yuan smiled back at him as she said, "Indeed it is.""Are you here alone?" Fang Yuchen asked when he did not notice anyone with her."Nope. I came with my brother," Shangguan Yuan replied.Fang Yuchen nodded. After remaining silent for a couple of seconds, he bluntly asked, "Can we have a conversation together?"Perhaps he was worried about being rejected, so he added, "A gala like this is way too boring now and besides, I feel a little exhausted today and I shouldn't be mingling with them, so…"Shangguan Yuan understood what he meant before he could finish. All he wanted was to use her as some sort of deterrent.However, it seemed Shangguan Yuan was bored too. Although she knew everyone here, she did not have any strong relationships with any of th
Shangguan Yuan went back to Shangguan Qian with a heavy heart.“I want to leave,” she said.At first, when Shangguan Qian saw her walking toward him, his face glowed with a bright smile. The moment he heard her words, he sulked.“Don’t you want to accompany me?” he asked.Shangguan Yuan simply said faintly, “I’m tired.”“Tired?” Shangguan Qian sneered. “Didn’t you enjoy talking to Fang Yuchen? Why are you so tired with me now?”Shangguan Yuan frowned when she heard that. She looked slightly upset.Shangguan Qian held his breath unconsciously when he pressed further and asked, “Or, you’re already dating him?” “What nonsense are you talking about?” Shangguan Yuan scolded.Shangguan Qian squinted his eyes and questioned, “Are you not?”Shangguan Yuan could not help but laugh, but her laughter was never reflected in her eyes. She refuted, “What if I am? Or what if I’m not? You can’t control me, right?”“Shangguan Yuan!” Her words deeply angered Shangguan Qian.Shangguan Yuan
Since Pierce refused to leave, Jing Liuyue angrily raised his hand to slap the woman.With a swift reaction, Pierce quickly stopped him and scolded, “It’s ungentlemanly to hit a woman!”Jing Liuyue glared at the woman that hid behind Pierce and shouted sternly, “Come here.”The woman bit her lips and kept shaking her head with teary eyes.An affectionate desire to protect the woman grew in Pierce when he saw her face.“She won’t go back with you. Stop bothering her,” Pierce told Jing Liuyue.Jing Liuyue never said a word. He gave a long fierce glare at the woman. Without a choice, he left with anger.No one noticed a subtle mischievous smile appeared on his face the moment he turned away.After Jing Liuyue left in his car, Pierce turned his attention to the pitiful woman. He told her, “He’s gone. Go home now.”“I don’t have a home,” the woman said, crying.Pierce and Shangguan Qian glanced at each other. In the end, Pierce brought the woman back to the hotel.Jing Liuyue cal
The criminal evaded his gaze. He still gave no response.No matter what Fang Yuchen asked, he pretended to hear nothing.Without a choice, Fang Yuchen had to leave him alone. He chatted with Sir Chen shortly, then left the police station.On their way back, Fang Yuchen sat behind. He frowned as he stared at the view outside the window. He thoughtfully said, “It looks like that kid won’t simply confess his crimes. Fang Yiming must have given him instructions.”Song Yao also frowned. “Then what should we do?” he asked.The most urgent matter then was to make the kid admit his ties to Fang Yiming.If the kid persistently denied it, then it would become a headache.Fang Yuchen considered carefully, then instructed, “Go investigate the kid’s family background.”Song Yao nodded. “Alright. After I send you back to the company, I will look into it.”Fang Yuchen nodded and did not say anything else.At Fang Group… Fang Yiming had gotten the news that his man had been caught. He fu
“Sese, are you free tomorrow? I want to invite you to a meal.”When Jiang Sese got the phone call from Shangguan Yuan, she was slightly surprised.She thought Shangguan Yuan would not ask her out again since the last incident.She never thought…She was subconsciously unwilling to meet Shangguan Yuan. After a short hesitation, she declined. “Tomorrow? I might not be free.”Even so, Shangguan Yuan never gave up. She said straightforwardly, “Sese, do you hate me?”“No,” Jiang Sese replied.“Then why are you rejecting me? I just want to have a meal with you.”Even though they talked through the phone, Jiang Sese could hear the pleading tone in Shangguan Yuan’s voice. Jiang Sese could not help but soften. She gave in at last. “Alright. Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”It should be fine. It was just a meal.“Thanks, Sese,” Shangguan Yuan replied excitedly. “I’ll send you the restaurant’s location later.”“Alright,” Jiang Sese said, then ended the call.She stared at the darkened scr
‘Yuanyuan and I plan to go shopping after our meal. I’ll call you when we’re done.’Jin Fengchen frowned when he received Sese’s message and tossed his phone aside.He did not like Sese hanging out with Shangguan Yuan.Fang Yuchen, who was seated across from him, thought for a moment then asked, “Fengchen, what do you think of Shangguan Yuan?”“What about her?” Jin Fengchen did not answer the question.“Nothing, I just want to know. You know I like her, so I just wanted to ask your opinion.”“Nothing outstanding.”An unsurprising answer. Fang Yuchen smiled and teased, “Apart from Sese, every other woman is not outstanding.”Jin Fengchen did not commit to an answer.“However, in my eyes, she is the best,” said Fang Yuchen.“She’s not suitable for you.”Fang Yuchen did not expect that Jin Fengchen would say that and asked in surprise, “Why not?”“She has a more intricate mind than yours, and she as she seems on the surface.”“So, this is what you meant.” Fang Yuchen smiled a
