Hearing Song Anguo's words, Chen Xiao directly said, "He has already been here."
"What? Been here? Where is he?"
Song Anguo looked incredulous, scanning his surroundings, but found no sign of Zhao Hongyuan.
Chen Xiao looked at the ground in front of him and said faintly, "He's everywhere."
Zhao Hongyuan had already been reduced to ashes by him, so naturally, he was everywhere.
Song Anguo looked puzzled, not understanding at first.
After a few seconds, he asked in shock, "You, you killed him?"
Chen Xiao nodded, squinting at Song Anguo and asking, "What? Is there a problem?"
Upon seeing Chen Xiao's gaze, Song Anguo felt a prickle of fear, as if he were being stared at by a tiger.
He quickly said, "No, no problem at all... Mr. Chen is peerlessly powerful, the Zhao family is nothing to fear!" 138 Reading Network
"Mr. Chen, if there's nothing else, I shall take my leave."
Song Anguo said cautiously.
He had driven all night, rushing here, only to find that Chen Xiao had already resolved the matter – completely resolved.
Although killing Zhao Hongyuan would surely invite retaliation from the Zhao family, those were not matters for a humble Song Anguo to interfere with.
Chen Xiao glanced at Song Anguo and said faintly, "Since you're here, I have one more thing to entrust to you before you go."
"Please, Mr. Chen, instruct me."
Song Anguo said respectfully.
Chen Xiao pointed at Wu Yufei and said, "Take her back to the imperial city!"
Chen Xiao had returned to Jiang City, and it would be inappropriate to keep Wu Yufei with him any longer.
"Uh, this..."
Song Anguo hesitated upon hearing this.
"What? Is there a problem?"
Chen Xiao asked.
"No, no! Please rest assured, Mr. Chen, I will handle this perfectly this time!"
Song Anguo quickly said, afraid that any further hesitation would lead Chen Xiao to strike him down.
Although taking Wu Yufei back now might arouse suspicion from the Zhao family.
However, compared to the Zhao family's suspicion, Chen Xiao was clearly more terrifying.
Besides, if worse came to worst, he could hide Wu Yufei upon returning and wait for the storm to pass.
With Zhao Hongyuan dead, the Zhao family would certainly not let it go, and there would be a good show to watch!
Wu Yufei left with Song Anguo. She waved to Chen Xiao, who was seeing her off outside the car window, thinking that after this parting, she didn't know when they would meet again.
Chen Xiao, on the other hand, thought that he had finally gotten rid of this troublesome girl and hoped she would be smarter in the future and not do foolish things.
After leaving the port, Chen Xiao took a taxi straight to Li Ziqing's company.
The moment Li Ziqing saw Chen Xiao appear in her office, her surprise was evident.
"Bad guy, you're back, you didn't even tell me!"
Li Ziqing gave Chen Xiao a glare, but her face was filled with an unshakeable tenderness and charm.
Chen Xiao had not informed Li Ziqing of his return beforehand; he wanted to give her a surprise.
"I just wanted to surprise you. If I had told you, wouldn't that have ruined the effect?"
Chen Xiao hugged Li Ziqing from behind and kissed her delicate neck.
With just a gentle kiss, Li Ziqing was moved, letting out a soft sigh and murmuring, "Bad boy, I've missed you so much..."
"Where have you missed me..."
Chen Xiao asked softly, his large hands roaming her body wantonly.
Perhaps it was because he had been stirred up by Wu Yufei in the past few days, but the moment Chen Xiao saw Li Ziqing, he felt an uncontrollable primal urge.
"Bad boy..."
Li Ziqing bit her red lips lightly, her body temperature rising, and she closed her eyes slightly.
With a thought from Chen Xiao, the office door was firmly locked.
...
Forty minutes later, Li Ziqing was getting dressed and complaining, "It's all your fault, you messed up my plans. I still have so much work to do!"
Chen Xiao said indifferently, "If you haven't done it, don't do it. Take a break and relax today."
"No!"
Li Ziqing refused outright, "I have to meet a very important guest later."
"Alright then."
Chen Xiao said with a hint of helplessness, but there was nothing he could do. What else could he do when he had a workaholic girlfriend?
At this moment, Li Ziqing had a thought and suddenly asked tentatively, "Why don't you come with me?"
Chen Xiao shook his head and said, "What would I do there? I know nothing about business and have no interest."
Li Ziqing immediately hugged Chen Xiao's waist and acted spoiled, "Just come with me. Besides, the guest we're meeting today is just one of my sisters and her boyfriend, so it's not entirely business. Okay, darling~~"
When Li Ziqing acted so cute, Chen Xiao couldn't resist and agreed. After all, he couldn't just abandon her after getting what he wanted.
On the way, Li Ziqing took the initiative to introduce her sister, Guan Shilan, whom she had known for many years.
Li Ziqing only mentioned her sister briefly, without much detail.
Today, she was mainly meeting Guan Shilan's boyfriend, Jin Zaishi.
From the name, it was clear that Jin Zaishi was from the Jin family of the Gaogou country's Gaishi Group, and he was currently the head of a subsidiary company under the Gaishi Group.
Hearing about this person's identity, even Chen Xiao couldn't help but be surprised.
This was because the Gaishi Group was simply too famous and had immense influence worldwide.
The Gaishi Group was the largest company in Gaogou country and a major conglomerate that ranked among the best globally.
The Gaishi Group was involved in various industries, covering all aspects of Gaogou country.
From gas, water, electricity, to education, hospitals, and then energy and oil, the daily lives of every citizen of Gaogou country were closely related to the Gaishi Group.
In more cutting-edge fields, such as military, technology, and biomedicine, the Gaishi Group's shadow could also be seen.
And such a monstrous entity, a veritable anomaly, was completely controlled by one family: the Jin family of Gaogou country.
Some people had even said that Gaogou country was merely the Jin family's backyard, that the government's president was just a figurehead, and that the Jin family was the true ruler of the country.
"Your sister is quite something, to be able to hook up with someone from the Jin family!"
Chen Xiao said playfully.
"Of course, who do you think her sister is!"
Li Ziqing said proudly, then realized Chen Xiao's words had a different meaning.
"What do you mean 'hook up'? My sister is very beautiful. You'd better not have any wicked thoughts when you see her later, otherwise, hmph... I won't let you into my bed tonight!"
Chen Xiao rubbed his nose and suddenly grinned mischievously, "It's okay if we don't go to bed, I've always wanted to try the sofa, the kitchen, the bathtub, and other places..."
