Li Xinglong, having had too much to drink, arrived at the Anran Hotel intending to have Wang Lihong serve him.
It was precisely because of his excessive drinking that he was unable to perform, and simply passed out on top of her, thus allowing Wang Lihong to narrowly escape.
Otherwise, Wang Lihong would not have met Guo Xuyang again, nor would she be here today.
“You mean to say that this person is Li Xinglong, the legal representative of Shanghai Longxing Group?” Li Minxi asked.
“Even if he were burned to ashes, I would recognize him,” Wang Lihong said through gritted teeth.
“Why did he come here to strike gold?” Li Minxi wondered.
“Xiao Xi, let’s go,” Xu Liping said, patting Li Minxi’s arm as she approached.
“Shouldn’t we take this person back with us since we’ve seen him? He should be brought to justice,” Li Minxi said.
“Are you stupid? Someone deliberately put this person in this place,” Pi Xiaoqian said, peeking his head out from behind.
“How is that possible?” Li Minxi still refused to believe it.
“Do you think this person would suffer such treatment if he were sentenced by law?” Pi Xiaoqian asked.
Indeed, in what way does the country’s law punish criminals like this?
If such a situation were to occur, certain people would surely raise human rights issues.
Li Minxi had resided in the provincial capital for a considerable time and was aware that Guo Xuyang served as the legal representative of Shanghai Longxing Group.
Lin Ziqi and Xu Lili, who followed behind, were even more aware of these circumstances.
Xu Dahai, listening to the conversation between Wang Lihong and Li Minxi among the crowd, was greatly surprised to learn that the person before them was Li Xinglong, the legal representative of Longxing Group.
His family was a prominent one in Shanghai, and thus he knew of Li Xinglong.
This person had a strong background; otherwise, his Anran Hotel would not have been so successful, with no one being able to challenge it for such a long time.
He had also visited the hotel, and the women there were indeed quite attractive.
Of course, it was all for show, much like going to a bathhouse with Guo Xuyang.
Thinking to himself, Xu Dahai suddenly felt that Li Xinglong might have fallen into this predicament because he had offended Guo Xuyang.
Once this thought arose, he could no longer shake it.
During this period, he had gained a general understanding of the women around Guo Xuyang.
Li Minxi and Li Minyu were sisters, and their father was a high-ranking official in a major department in the capital.
This also explained why Li Minxi married Guo Xuyang in China and became his official wife.
It was just unclear what Li Minyu’s situation was. Although he was in the same system as Li Minyu, no one had told them such gossip.
According to Xu Lili, Pi Xiaoqian, who was plump, had pursued Li Minyu for several years, only for her to eventually marry Guo Xuyang.
Xiao Yun was Guo Xuyang’s colleague, and they had always been close, which led to this trip to Bashi.
Moreover, Xiao Yun was Xiao Yu’s older sister, and Xiao Yu’s husband was his former instructor, Lü Liang.
Elena was met in Africa and later gave birth to a child for Guo Xuyang, which was why she came for the wedding.
Wang Lihong and Xiao Yu were met by Guo Xuyang in Shanghai, and it was said that Guo Xuyang could not bear to let them go, so he took them all in.
If what Wang Lihong said earlier was true, she and Xiao Yu must have met at the Anran Hotel. Like Jiang Wu Xi, they were met at the bathhouse.
Judging by Wang Lihong’s demeanor earlier, she must have suffered quite a bit.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t hate Li Xinglong so much.
Guo Yiyang was met by Guo Xuyang in Myanmar, while Yu’er and Ye Zi had more mysterious origins.
As for the other actresses and business partners, they were all Li Minxi’s doing.
Xu Dahai mused and suddenly realized that Guo Xuyang was truly extraordinary.
It was not something ordinary people could mess with, this Longxing Group, yet it was brought down entirely because of two young girls.
He even felt it was not worth it for Li Xinglong.
What kind of woman was worth him sacrificing the entire group?
It was only after witnessing Guo Xuyang’s capabilities that Xu Dahai thought this way. Had it been his former disposition, he would not have thought highly of Guo Xuyang at all.
After all, there were few diamond bachelors like him, possessing both talent and ability, and holding a position in a special department.
Thus, human destiny is very subtle; he had never expected to meet Xu Lili and marry this woman.
He looked up at Li Xinglong, wanting to make a phone call, but then reconsidered and put it down.
It was not worth offending Guo Xuyang for an outdated figure.
Moreover, Guo Xuyang was currently a popular figure among the higher-ups.
Guo Xuyang was unaware of what these people were thinking about him; if he knew, he would feel wronged.
This Li Xinglong was truly not brought down by him, but rather because Li Xinglong, in his arrogance, had offended Jiang Qixin back then, and was thus brought here by Jiang Qixin.
Of course, he reaped some small benefits from it, obtaining the entire Longxing Group.
Currently, Wang Lihong’s salary is paid on time by Longxing Group.
“Shall we go? Miss Xiao,” Chike softly asked from the side.
“Oh. Let’s go,” Xiao Yun said hurriedly, turning to look at Chike.
She had not expected that visiting the gold mine would turn out like this.
If she had known earlier, she would not have suggested coming.
She had inadvertently created a major stumbling block for Guo Xuyang.
Those unaware would think that Guo Xuyang was the one who brought this person here to suffer.
Wang Lihong and Xiao Yu had vented their anger, but Guo Xuyang had also been branded as heartless.
Everyone present believed that Guo Xuyang had brought this person here because this person had imprisoned Wang Lihong and Xiao Yu.
However, now that the incident had occurred, there was no use in explaining.
Rather than making things worse, it was better to let nature take its course.
Everyone returned to the manor with Chike, and no one mentioned Li Xinglong again.
“You’re back? Why so early? Didn’t you buy anything? We agreed I’d treat,” Guo Xuyang said with a smile upon seeing everyone.
“Mr. Guo, when did you arrive? Why didn’t I see you?” Chike exaggeratedly embraced Guo Xuyang and said loudly.
“I arrived too late yesterday, so I didn’t disturb you. My family and friends have caused you trouble.”
“No trouble, no trouble. Why don’t you stay a few more days this time?”
“There are still many matters to attend to at home. If there’s nothing here, I plan to return tomorrow.”
“This…” Chike hesitated for a moment and said, “The gold deposit discovered last time has been almost fully excavated.
If it’s convenient for you, we would like to invite you to stay for two more days to help us see if there are any other suitable mineral deposits?”
“As you know, this is something that cannot be forced. The last deposit was found by chance.”
“I know, I know. Everyone has witnessed your abilities. If you can find another rich deposit, your bonus will definitely double.”
Seeing that Guo Xuyang was reluctant to help, Chike could only resort to mentioning the bonus.
