Chapter 163: Chapter 163: The female devil

In Shenzhen, a woman standing in front of a floor to ceiling window, wearing a black suit that accentuated her slim figure, turned around clutching a phone in her hands.

The phone looked like it was about to break into pieces from that iron grip.

"Why was the news kept from me?" Shentu Ling scolded her assistants.

"I’m sorry, boss! We didn’t know until now!" They kept their heads bowed as they apologized repeatedly.

"Enough!"

The strict voice of the woman was enough to send these cowardly people into a corner.

"If you are really sorry, then don’t make the same mistake next time! If another mistake like today happens, go to the HR department and settle your salary," the woman gave them a fiery look, and the assistants and managers nodded and quickly excused themselves.

Shentu Ling look at the photo of Shentu Jing on her desk. The black and white photo reflected in the sunlight that came pouring in from the windows, the person in the photo looked even more ethereal.

"Did you really die or is this some kind of joke?" Shentu Ling stared at the photo, pupils tensed as her fingers lightly touched it.

Knock Knock!

"Come in,"

A man walked in, a file under his arm and a tablet in his other hand.

"Boss Ling, here’s the Shentu Group’s reports. It seems to be doing fairly well after the change of leadership. And this is our sales in the first quarter," Tan Yuanci said.

"I guess I underestimated Shentu Chu. Not bad,"

If someone gets a compliment from Shentu Ling such as ’Not bad’, it was something to be proud of. Shentu Ling nevers praise anyone. She was known for being the female devil in country and a successful entrepreneur.

Shentu Ling sighed and put the file down.

"Is something wrong, boss Ling?" Tan Yuanci asked.

"Book a plane ticket back to Shengjing," a chilling smile danced on Shentu Ling’s lips.

"Okay," Tan Yuanci excused himself and left. He could never know what was going on on her mind. No wonder Shentu Jing and Shentu Ling were biological siblings!

Both were fearsome and cold, chilling yet stunning. The two siblings were also born geniuses in business and technology. At a young age, they passed all the exams and tests that were meant for older kids. So they graduated early, with Shentu Ling one year behind Shentu Jing.

"It’s all done," Tan Yuanci came back to report to her, bowing slightly.

"Boss Ling, this Shentu Chu seems like a greedy person. I heard he took over the second young master’s shares after his.... uh, passing," Tan Yuanci had to be careful of his word. The sharp chilling eyes of Shentu Ling were enough to cut him to pieces on spot.

"I heard that he no longer shows respect to old master Shentu and Master Dong. He was even suspected of killing the second... young master. Although there’s no evidence of that, the rumours online are pointing at him," Tan Yuanci continued.

"Where did those rumours come from?" The woman sat on the red leather chair, the skirt exposing her fair and slender calves.

"Some accounts were spreading it online, anonymously. I have checked it, they were paid by Jiang Zhaoling. There are even rumours that Shentu Chu sabotaged the plane," Tan Yuanci had to be very efficient if he wanted to work for Shentu Ling and become her right hand man. He had all the information sorted out at top speed, all ready at his fingertips.

"Jiang Zhaoling? Jiang Sumei’s daughter?" Shentu Ling tapped her fingers lightly on the desk.

"What a mess," her voice was soft yet icy.

Tan Yuanci only stood there waiting for orders.

Then she got up and took out a phone from the drawer. Pressing the call button, the person on the other end picked it up after the second ring.

"I left you in the Shentu family to keep an eye on things. Why haven’t you reported to me?"

"I’m sorry, boss Ling. There seemed to someone blocking me from sending any message out, an invisible pair of eyes watching everyone’s movements. I...I can’t do anything," the voice of a young girl said.

"But I know who was the person stopping me. There are two forces fighting with each other in the family. Like a cold war!" The girl added. From her tone, she sounded frightened.

"Who?"

"Tang An and You Lan, the senior maid,"

"Whose people are they?"

"Tang An secretly works for Shentu Chu. I cannot figure out who You Lan works for," the girl whispered.

"Keep an eye,"

"That’s the thing, Boss Ling. I can no longer keep an eye. Things are getting messy. I’m sorry. My identity might be exposed," the girl’s voice quivered slightly before Shentu Ling hung up.

On the surface, it seemed like everything was peaceful. But underneath, it was turbulence!

Meanwhile, Qin Zhuzhu went back to the villa quite early. She had just came back from the hospital. Her mother’s condition was getting worse. The doctors have decided the perfect time for a surgery, exactly on her birthday.

A birthday was supposed to be a happy thing but because her mother’s surgery date fell on that date, it felt like a matter of life and death.

She don’t lack money, she lacked the confidence. What happens if the surgery failed and the worst happened? Qin Zhuzhu sighed, lying on the couch.

Qin Zhuzhu found herself taking longer than expected to Qin company back on track. Somehow, she felt reluctant in her heart, as if something was pulling her back. Her desire to fulfill her grandfather’s wish wasn’t as strong as before.

What was going on? Maybe it was because too much had happened.

Strolling up to the front door, Qin Zhuzhu noticed a brown paper bag. Someone had left something for her as it was addressed to her name.

It couldn’t be Sanya because that girl would have shove whatever it was up her mouth instead.

Who could it be from? Was this another one of Bai Qianhua’s evil plot?
