Perspiration beads are forming on Javier Zhong's face as blood is gushing out uncontrollably from the wounded areas.Shocked by this scene before her eyes, Stephanie Ruan opened her mouth but she could not speak a word!At this point, her hands are shaking non-stop as she struggles to remove her outerwear so that she could use it to tie around his wounded areas to stop the blood from flowing out.Thankfully for him, the two gunshots are very close to each other and one jacket is enough to apply pressure on both wounds."Can you try to get up??" Stephanie Ruan asked worriedly while putting one of his arms over her shoulder as she tries to figure out the best way to help him to a standing position.The two of them struggled for a while before successfully getting up together."Be careful. I'm not sure if he has left this place yet." Stephanie Ruan warned Javier Zhong in a soft voice as they took slow steps toward the door.With his current state, they better not run into 'X' again. Beca
With a light nod, the surgeon spoke to them politely, "The surgery is successful and Chairman Zhong is okay. There are no complications. He should be awake soon."Phew!!...Both Stephanie Ruan and Isaac Wen instantly breathed a huge sigh of relief!"Thank you, doctor!" She bowed slightly and spoke to him with great appreciation.While the three of them are busy exchanging a few more words, they did not realise that a mysterious man has actually been observing them from afar ever since Javier Zhong entered the operation theatre.The man stood there and gave them a final look before moving away into the shadows....In the private hospital suiteStephanie Ruan sat on the bedside of Javier Zhong and looked at him worriedly, wondering when he would be awake.She held on to his hands and waited...And waited...Suddenly, they heard three steady knocks on the door, and then the room was silent again."I will go and get the door." Isaac Wen immediately stood up and did not forget to report t
Since he has already spoken so straightforwardly, Stephanie Ruan found it difficult to continue denying it.In front of Javier Zhong, she then raised her left hand elegantly and stared at her empty ring finger."At least a 4 carat diamond ring. Nothing less!" She hinted at him without holding back.Knowing his financial capability, a 4-carat ring should be nothing to him. But well, it is not about the price but rather, she wants to see his sincerity in marrying her."!!!..."As soon as Javier Zhong heard her words, he let out the biggest smile ever and he could hardly contain his joy!!Not to mention 4 carats, as long as she is willing to marry him, getting a 20 carats ring is not even an issue to him!Javier Zhong inched himself forward and quickly threw her a big hug without even caring about the fresh stitches on his wounds.It is almost as though he has completely forgotten that he has two gunshot wounds and he obviously could not feel the pain anymore!"Stephanie, will you really
In Country C, Shang Capital Seated inside the first-class cabin of a renowned international airplane, Stephanie Ruan looked at the city through the window, with deep emotions in her eyes. Up until today, her family's car accident which had happened 8 years ago remained vivid in her mind. Just like the members of the public, she too wanted to believe that the tragic incident which had killed her parents and sibling was unintentional. However, she remembered very clearly the words of a young man who seemed to be reporting to someone over the phone that day. "I've confirmed it, the Ruan family members are all dead." The cold voice sent shivers down her spine. Though Stephanie Ruan did not dare to open her eyes back then, that particular voice would be etched on her memory forever. The young man deliberately threw the phone towards her, which had accurately landed a few centimetres away from her face, just like how he had expected it to be
What?? Is she intending to throw herself into the lion's den and investigate this incident on her own?! To be up against the other members of the Zhong family is already a huge challenge. But... it is entirely another matter on its own to deal with Javier Zhong directly! With perfect facial features and a muscular build, he is known to be the most powerful and ruthless person in the Zhong Family. If people are already so afraid of his family members, it is almost unimaginable how much more fear they would carry for him!Furthermore, he has a very low tolerance for women and all of them are advised to stay at least three meters away from him. Mia Xue widened her eyes and looked at her boss in shock. She really did not dare to imagine the consequences of her boss' decision. If Javier Zhong knows about what she is planning to do, she would definitely be skinned alive!!"Director Ruan... It
Over on the other side, there is a strange silence in the room. Without having to look at Javier Zhong's cold and unfriendly expression, Isaac Wen could already feel the low pressure from him. In fact, he closed his eyes and prepared to embrace what is to come as his body started to break into a cold sweat! Clearly, Isaac Wen knows that if the young master were to throw a temper right now, no one could control him at all! And at the end of the day, the person who would have the toughest time could only be him... "..." It did not take very long for everyone in the room to realise that the temperature has already dropped to its freezing point! Even Mr Robertson could not help but question himself if he had made the right decision to bring both parties together. However, from a business standpoint, he had no choice as this is the most effective way to negotiate for the best terms in the contract. Of course, as a ru
Judging by their closeness, Mr Robertson is satisfied that he has 'accurately' guessed their relationship.However, as soon as Javier Zhong heard what she said, he gritted his teeth in anger!He did not know Stephanie Ruan's motive for coming close to him but yet at the same time, it is not ideal to create a big scene in front of his new business partner."Certainly, we will be there."Well, isn't it just attending an event? How difficult could it be??In the worst-case scenario, if she refuses to come, he would just get Isaac Wen to tie her up and drag her to the event with him.After all, a promise has already been made and he is one who never breaks his promises.When Stephanie Ruan heard his quick and decisive reply, she could not help but let out a light smirk.To be able to reach this stage of development with Javier Zhong could already be considered as 'mission accomplished' for her."That's great, I will see you
Snapping out of his thoughts, he squinted his eyes at Stephanie Ruan.In Javier Zhong's opinion, this woman in front of him is obviously not trustable at all!Who knows what's the real reason for her coming so close to him?But if she could be trusted to handle this difficult business deal and yet at the same time be able to help him please his grandmother for the time being, then he does not see why he shouldn't make full use of her?After all, she is the one who came knocking on his door first!"State your terms and conditions." Javier Zhong threw out these few cold words.He had learned since young that the number one business rule is to wait for the other party to state their conditions first so that he would not lose out unnecessarily.However, Stephanie Ruan is also well-educated on this rule. But someone has to start first, right?So with this thought, she decided to play the game differently. "Relax, I'm not after any o
