But before he could touch Su Ding, he was subdued on the spot by four men in suits who appeared out of nowhere!
The one in the lead even grabbed Xu Lang’s head and pushed it onto the mall floor!
“Damn it! Who are you guys!”
Xu Lang struggled with all his might but couldn’t break free from the four burly men.
One of the men in suits turned around, bowed respectfully to Su Ding, and said, “Madam, we apologize for startling you. We’ll be quicker next time.”
Su Ding, holding Xin Jiaer who had hurt herself, looked a bit stunned. “Yes, did Jin Ye send you to protect me?”
“Yes, Madam,” the man in suits replied respectfully, his hands straight down along the seams of his suit pants, precise and orderly.
After speaking, they left with their men, dragging the gagged Xu Lang away.
After walking a few steps, a security guard rushed over. The man in suits said a few words to him, and the security guard quickly bowed and let them pass, even helping to lead the way.
“Jiaer, are you okay?” Su Ding looked at Xin Jiaer’s scraped arm.
“I’m fine, it’s not bleeding,” Xin Jiaer sighed, looking a bit dispirited. “I was truly blind to have fallen for someone like him back then.”
Su Ding patted her shoulder. “Don’t think about it anymore, it’s in the past.”
Suddenly, she asked again, “What did he say about you and Xue Zhi Qiao?”
Xin Jiaer’s heart skipped a beat, her expression becoming a little unnatural. “No, it’s nothing. Last time Xue Zhi Qiao helped me, and Xu Lang thought I…”
“Oh, I see,” Su Ding nodded understandingly, then after a moment’s thought, she added, “But speaking of which, Xue Zhi Qiao is actually quite good. Would you consider him? He’s more handsome than Xu Lang and wealthy too, what do you think?”
“Ah. No, no, no!”
Xin Jiaer shook her head like a rattle drum, her face suddenly turning red. “Ding Ding, I don’t want to think about these things yet. That’s enough, let’s not talk about it.”
Su Ding chuckled and let it go.
…
The chairman’s office of the Huang Qi Group.
As soon as Jin Ye sat down after a meeting, he saw a credit card consumption notification on his phone.
Opening it, he realized Su Ding had bought clothes.
This reminded him; the card he’d given Su Ding had never been used before. This was the first time. Thinking about her secretly pooling money a few days ago, he felt like an incompetent husband.
Jin Ye made an internal call to ask Luo Zhu to come up.
“The company dividend payouts are happening these few days, right?”
“Yes, President Jin.” Luo Zhu was a bit puzzled. Why was President Jin suddenly asking about financial matters?
“Go to the finance department and inform them to transfer my share, along with Su Ding’s, directly into her personal account.”
Jin Ye had already transferred shares to Su Ding after their marriage.
But he suddenly realized that since they were a family, his salary as a husband should also be handed over to his wife.
“Alright, President Jin.”
As Luo Zhu was about to leave, he remembered something and turned back. “Oh, President Jin, we received word from over there.”
Jin Ye’s expression suddenly turned grave. “Speak.”
“It was indeed her. They have collected all the evidence and are waiting for your instructions.”
Luo Zhu paused, then added, “There’s also a rumor that Chen Gong seems to have returned, but the news hasn’t been confirmed, and his whereabouts are unknown.”
Jin Ye’s thick eyebrows furrowed, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, “Good, I understand.”
…
In the evening, at the Shao family villa.
Shao Lin greedily clutched the expensive jewelry on the bed and said to her phone, “Really, you have no idea, Xiao Xi treats me like her own mother now, she’s so obedient. I believe she’ll forget about that woman Su Ding very soon…
Speaking of which, it’s all thanks to your plan. Just finding some CEO named Wang and easily extorting five million from her, she’s too stupid. I doubt she’d dare to call the police, hahahaha…”
The voice on the other end of the phone was specially processed, with a metallic quality. “Mm, don’t make any moves these days, lest Jin Ye finds out. Follow my arrangements after some time.”
“Okay, okay.” Shao Lin hung up the phone obsequiously.
She excitedly put on the expensive jewelry. There were also several limited edition handbags on the bed, which would surely make the other socialites envious when she carried them out!
She had been so foolish before, never thinking to start from here.
Fortunately, now she had guidance from a master. Even if she wasn’t the young madam of the Jin family, based on the current situation, wouldn’t she have whatever she wanted?
“Knock, knock, knock”
A knock on the door sounded, particularly heavy in the silent night.
Shao Lin didn’t move, just tilted her head and called out, “Dad, what is it?”
“Knock, knock, knock”
The knocking sounded again, but there was no response from outside. Shao Lin frowned.
She got up with some strangeness, a sliver of unease rising in her heart. When she went to open the door and saw who was outside, she was stunned!
“Jin… President Jin!”
Shao Lin’s eyes widened. Guilt made her look very flustered. He was still as handsome and cool as ever, making her like and yearn for him. But now, his gaze was so cold, it seemed capable of freezing her to death.
Jin Ye’s face was somber. Dressed in a black suit, he was tall and exuded a terrifying, demonic aura.
And behind him were four police officers.
Beside the officers, Shao Zhenggang was looking at her with a worried frown.
“President Jin, what do you need me for?”
Shao Lin’s heart pounded with panic. She tried to calm herself down and asked nervously.
Why did he bring those policemen here?
Had he found out she blackmailed Su Ding? Was he going to arrest her?
Impossible…
Her father was still here, absolutely not. She absolutely couldn't show any weakness!
“Five million, used it all up?” Jin Ye’s cold words turned Shao Lin’s face ashen.
