Wang Yu was an employee of Ziyan Technology.
This morning, on his way to work, he saw several delivery drivers beating a woman on the street. He immediately joined many concerned citizens to stop this immoral act.
Just as Wang Yu was about to call an ambulance, he was surprised to see his company's boss, Bai Ziyan, appear and shout that the beaten woman in plain clothes was her mother.
"My god, the woman who was beaten is the First Madam of the Bai family in Tiandong!"
After Wang Yu understood the identity of the woman in plain clothes, he was shocked.
He quickly helped Bai Ziyan to lift Jiao Yin, who had been knocked unconscious, into the car and sent her to the hospital.
Soon.
Bai Yujing, who had just arrived at the Bai family's company, also received the news and rushed to the hospital.
The First Madam of the Bai family being beaten on the street was a big incident!
Bai Yujing would definitely not let those delivery drivers go.
But just as Bai Yujing, full of anger, was negotiating with the special police who had arrived at the scene, preparing to thoroughly investigate the attackers through traffic surveillance, Jiao Yin, who had just woken up, stopped him.
Jiao Yin, with her charming appearance and kind heart, did not want to make a big fuss over this.
After all, she had also made a mistake (she had slapped someone first, which led to the counterattack), and she was only knocked unconscious. After an emergency examination, she was fine.
Jiao Yin not only stopped Bai Yujing from thoroughly investigating the delivery drivers, but also politely declined the medical staff's suggestion to stay in the hospital for observation.
She insisted on going home to rest.
Seeing her firm attitude, Bai Yujing and his sister had no choice but to comply.
Although the kind-hearted Jiao Yin did not want to make a big fuss, the incident of her being beaten on the street still attracted a lot of attention.
At least.
Chu Yazhi, the general manager of Zhizhi Club, quickly received the news.
She immediately called Li Qianfan—
"What?"
Li Qianfan received Chu Yazhi's call while he was in Old Su's office, negotiating with Wei Wan and others about the overall plan for the merger of Jinfeng Fashion: "Please wait a moment, I'll talk to you after I go outside."
Ten minutes later.
Chu Yazhi carefully reported the intelligence she had gathered to Li Qianfan.
"The First Madam of the Bai family in Tiandong, while taking a walk on the street, happened to overhear several delivery drivers slander me wantonly. Unable to help herself, she retorted, which led to a conflict and she was knocked unconscious on the street."
Li Qianfan was full of emotion: "Zhizhi, do you think I should visit Madam Bai after hearing the news? After all, she was injured for me. If I don't visit her, am I still human?"
"Master."
Chu Yazhi agreed with his suggestion: "For reason and emotion, you must bring gifts and visit her in person."
"You make sense."
Li Qianfan nodded: "How about this, you help me prepare some gifts for visiting the injured. I'll go to the provincial capital to visit Madam Bai."
Chu Yazhi readily agreed to Li Qianfan's instructions and quickly carried them out.
After the call ended.
"I never imagined that the beautiful Miss Jiao would be injured on the street defending me. With such great kindness, how can I repay it other than by offering myself?"
Li Qianfan looked up at the sky outside the window, shaking his head in感慨.
Buzz buzz.
The phone vibrated urgently again.
Bai Ziyan called.
"Li Qianfan, I'm at Liushui Pavilion now."
Bai Ziyan said directly: "I have something to tell you. This morning, when my mother was out for a walk, she happened to overhear some delivery personnel slandering you on the street. She couldn't help herself."
As Bai Ziyan said this, Li Qianfan heard Jiao Yin's voice from the phone: "Ziyan! Didn't I tell you not to make a fuss, and not to call Mr. Li?"
Li Qianfan heard Bai Ziyan reply: "Mom. I don't mean anything else, I just want to say something to Li Qianfan. After all, you were beaten on the street to defend him. Isn't it normal for me to say something to him?"
"You child—"
"Mom, don't worry about it."
Bai Ziyan added: "Manager Du, Director Liang, and others have come to visit you. Everyone knows why you were beaten. The news will spread to Li Qianfan sooner or later."
"You, sigh, what can I say about you."
"Alright. Mom, you rest first, I'll talk to Li Qianfan for a bit."
Bai Ziyan said to Jiao Yin, and then continued the call with Li Qianfan: "Li Qianfan, I'm telling you this news because I think you should visit my mother. Of course, you can also not come."
"What are you talking about!"
Li Qianfan frowned: "Although there was a misunderstanding between me and Madam Bai last time I went to Liushui Pavilion, regardless, your mother helped me during the Early Autumn Women's Wear Festival. Now, she has been beaten for defending me. If I remain indifferent, how can I have the face to walk in this world in the future?"
Go.
He had to go to the provincial capital to visit Madam Bai.
After making up his mind, Li Qianfan walked into the office and casually found a reason to ask for leave.
Old Su frowned when he heard this.
Li Qianfan knew that Old Su was going to act pretentious again in front of Wei Wan, An Ran, and the others.
As expected.
Old Su said indifferently: "Vice President Li, do you know what we who are building a career are most afraid of? It's inconsistency. If everyone is like you, always prioritizing personal matters, can our business still grow?"
"Yes, President Su, you are right."
Li Qianfan said with shame: "To be able to concentrate on work, I will immediately throw 'Half an Hour Tonight' into the trash can. From now on, except for work, I will never be distracted by personal matters again."
What half an hour tonight?
Wei Wan and the others looked at each other with confusion.
Old Su's cheeks twitched rapidly.
He coughed dryly: "Vice President Li, although career is important, personal important matters should not be neglected. That, you just go and attend to it. As for matters at the company, with Vice President Wei and the others here, you don't need to worry."
That old fox.
He's forcing me to use my ultimate move!
Li Qianfan scorned him inwardly, but outwardly he was respectful, bowed and thanked President Su, and returned to his office.
Vice President Li's personal secretary, Shen Yun, was helping him with his daily work.
Seeing him come in, Chong Chong immediately stood up, ready to make him tea: "Vice President Li, would you like black tea or green tea?"
During work hours, Chong Chong was quite serious.
"Plain water, please."
Li Qianfan sat down behind her desk, held a cigarette in his mouth, but didn't light it. He was lost in thought, tapping his fingers lightly on the desk.
He had calculated that Jiao Yin would find a way to make him visit.
After all, since Li Qianfan returned from Lingnan, Jiao Yin had invited him to Liushui Pavilion again through Bai Ziyan, but he had never gone.
Jiao Yin became impatient and deliberately arranged a good show this morning.
This way, she could "force" Li Qianfan to visit Liushui Pavilion.
Li Qianfan didn't care about this.
What he needed to consider was how to ensure that Jiao Yin wouldn't realize he was "walking into a trap" after meeting her, and even make her actively offer to play a cameo role as an influencer and accompany him to Blackwater Forest for a check-in.
Li Qianfan had already discussed the general plan for Jiao Yin to go to Blackwater Forest with his parents and Su Nanyin.
But once the plan was implemented, the details would require his careful attention.
If Jiao Yin realized he was "walking into a trap," with her intelligence as the third president of the dark web, she would definitely realize something.
She would flee Tiandong as quickly as possible!
Even if she couldn't escape—
Li Qianfan was not satisfied with just eliminating the third president of the dark web!
He hoped to use Jiao Yin as a line to find out who the six presidents of the dark web were.
To achieve his goal, it would depend on Li Qianfan's ability, and especially his luck.
Now.
The enemy has made their move!
A pair of small hands were placed on his shoulders, gently and sometimes forcefully massaging them.
It was nice to have a personal secretary.
No wonder so many bosses liked to hire beautiful women as secretaries.
Li Qianfan raised his hand and gently patted Chong Chong's hand: "It seems I'll have to go to Blackwater Forest in a few days."
Shen Yun's massage movements paused noticeably, but she said nothing.
Li Qianfan added: "I've finally waited for Jiao Yin to make her move."
He briefly recounted to Shen Chong Chong the calls from Chu Yazhi and Bai Ziyan.
Although in Li Qianfan's heart, Shen Chong Chong was just a fragile porcelain doll, she already knew about the white-bellied bird.
She also knew that the white-bellied bird would fly again.
Now that the enemy had made their move, and he had to leave for Blackwater Forest at any time, he naturally had to explain it to Shen Chong Chong.
Shen Yun listened and said in a low voice: "Brother, you must be very careful about this matter. Jiao Yin being the third president of the dark web, she is not only skilled in martial arts and beauty. Her wicked methods, especially the darkness behind her, are the most important."
She was right.
Shen Yun added: "Brother, shall I accompany you to Blackwater Forest?"
"You accompany me?"
Li Qianfan was stunned.
Shen Yun nodded: "Yes. Since you are going on a grand expedition this time, you should at least bring two beauties with you, right? Less than two wouldn't be worthy of your status as a top-tier scion."
"Nonsense!"
Li Qianfan blurted out: "I'm going to Blackwater Forest to risk my life! Let alone that you can only moan and groan about dying, and can't do anything else. Even if you knew a few moves, I wouldn't bear to. If anything happened to you, wouldn't I be heartbroken?"
Shen Yun's face immediately turned red.
But her heart was sweet.
She leaned forward and bit his ear lightly: "Chong Chong moans about dying, isn't it because you are too powerful?"
Little vixen.
She just knows how to say nice things to coax her brother.
Li Qianfan pinched her cheek and said, "You absolutely cannot go. However, what you just said did remind me. As a top-tier scion like me, if I want to go to Blackwater Forest for a check-in, the number of beauties around me must not be less than two. It's certain that Miss Jiao will go. As for the other candidate, I need to think carefully."
The other candidate must not be like those fat pigs who hire influencers with money.
After all, Li Qianfan was a top-tier scion, and the level of an influencer was too low to match his status.
Shen Yun couldn't go.
Du Junlin and Bai Ziyan definitely couldn't show up.
Chu Yazhi and the sisters Zhe Xing and Zhe Yue had already been assigned important roles in Li Qianfan's plan.
So—
As Li Qianfan squeezed Shen Chong Chong's face, his mind raced, and a flash of inspiration suddenly struck him.
He thought of someone.
Murong Mingyuan!
