Chapter 497: Chapter 493: Elder Cousin Brother

"You’re right, my father truly was a selfish man. If it weren’t for you telling me the truth, I would probably still be in the dark, deceived and used by my father."

Nanrong Yong sighed and said, "Regardless, he is your father after all. Besides, he’s already gone. There’s no need to hold a grudge against him anymore."

Snake King nodded, about to say something. But at that moment, his expression abruptly changed, and he said in a deep voice, "Not good!"

...

Hongyu Group headquarters.

Nanrong Wanqing handed a document to Wang Lan and instructed, "Hurry and deliver this to Manager Chen."

"Yes, Chairman."

Leaving the office, Wang Lan was about to enter the elevator, but then she heard her cellphone ring in her pocket. She took it out, and a blissful smile instantly bloomed on her face when she saw the caller ID. She quickly answered the call.

"Hello! Calling me during work hours, be careful that your manager doesn’t find out and dock your pay... No, the Chairman asked me to deliver a document downstairs... Okay, then wait for me, I’ll be over soon."

A few minutes later.

The elevator doors opened, and Wang Lan returned to the office, followed by a young man—it was Ji Beizhao.

"Beizhao, why do you insist on speaking with the Chairman in person, is it something I cannot convey?" Wang Lan asked curiously.

Ji Beizhao spoke with a grave tone, "This matter is of great importance; I’d better tell her myself."

As they spoke, the two arrived at the door to the Chairman’s office.

Knock, knock, knock!

Hearing the knock, Nanrong Wanqing, who was dealing with documents at her desk, looked up and said, "Come in!"

With the office door pushed open, Wang Lan walked in with Ji Beizhao following closely behind. Seeing the arrivals, Nanrong Wanqing put down her work and asked Wang Lan, "Who is this?"

"Chairman, his name is Ji Beizhao, an employee from the marketing department. He says he has something important to report to you."

Hearing this, Nanrong Wanqing scrutinized Ji Beizhao and said indifferently, "You should be clear about the company’s policies. I don’t meet with staff below the Manager level, nor should employees bypass their superiors to report directly, unless there’s an exceptional situation. Tell me, what’s the important matter?"

Ji Beizhao briskly walked to the desk and placed the folder he was carrying on it.

"Chairman, please take a look at this first."

Nanrong Wanqing nodded slightly, ready to open the folder to review it. But at this moment, the cellphone by the computer suddenly rang, showing Ling Chen’s number on the caller ID.

"Wait a moment," said Nanrong Wanqing to Ji Beizhao, gesturing with her hand as she picked up the phone. However, before she could answer the call, Ji Beizhao, who stood in front of the desk, suddenly lunged forward without a word, smacking the phone out of her hand to the ground.

His unexpected action stunned Nanrong Wanqing momentarily. Behind her, Wang Lan’s face changed dramatically; she did not expect her boyfriend to act so boldly and out of line.

"Beizhao, what are you..."

Before she could finish, Ji Beizhao let out a cold sneer, his eyes glinting menacingly as he leaped over the desk to land beside Nanrong Wanqing. Immediately after, he reached to his waist, and a sharp dagger was swiftly drawn, pressed against Nanrong Wanqing’s delicate neck.

Seeing this scene, Wang Lan’s face turned ashen, her voice shaking as she said, "Be... Beizhao, what... what are you doing?"

"Shut up!" Ji Beizhao shouted coldly.

Nanrong Wanqing lifted her head, looking straight at Ji Beizhao with a calm demeanor, "Are you an Assassin?"

"Assassin? If I were an assassin, you’d be dead by now."

"So what do you want?"

"It’s simple. Prepare a contract for me to transfer Hongyu Group’s shares to me."

"You think that’s possible?" Nanrong Wanqing spoke, "Even if I agree, I don’t have the authority. The shares of Hongyu Group aren’t in my hands; they’re all under my grandfather’s name."

Ji Beizhao frowned and was about to speak. However, at that moment, there was a ’bang’, and the office door was kicked open from the outside. Immediately, Zhong Wei and others rushed in, shouting, "Ji Beizhao, release the Chairman at once."

Seeing Zhong Wei and his people closing in, Ji Beizhao’s expression shifted slightly, and he hastily shouted, "Don’t come any closer, take one more step, and I’ll kill her right away."

As Ji Beizhao held the dagger tightly against Nanrong Wanqing’s neck, Zhong Wei immediately spread his arms, signaling the others not to make any rash moves. Then, he took out his cellphone from his pocket, dialed a number, and put it on speaker.

Du-du...

The phone rang a few times before quickly being picked up, and a familiar voice followed, "Beizhao, stop this now, don’t continue making mistakes."

"Ling Chen?" Ji Beizhao laughed coldly, "It’s too late for me to stop now, there’s no turning back."

"Beizhao, stop it, won’t you listen to me anymore?"

As a voice full of magnetism emanated from the phone, Ji Beizhao froze, incredulously saying, "Dad, you... you’re still alive, I thought you..."

"Don’t worry, I’m fine. Listen to Ling Chen and release Nanrong Wanqing. We were wrong to blame them for that incident."

Hearing this, Ji Beizhao pleaded, "But..."

"No buts. Release her now, won’t you even listen to me?"

Ji Beizhao hesitated for a moment, his eyes flickering as he looked at Nanrong Wanqing. After a while, he stepped back and threw the dagger to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhong Wei and Liang Zhao Hui rushed forward, subduing Ji Beizhao who had given up resisting.

"Beizhao..."

Watching Ji Beizhao being led away, Wang Lan’s color was drained from her face, and she mumbled as if she couldn’t believe what had just unfolded.

"I’m sorry," Ji Beizhao said softly, his eyes filled with remorse.

By the time Ji Beizhao was taken away, it hadn’t been twenty minutes before Ling Chen and Nanrong Yong hurried back to the Hongyu Group headquarters.

"Wanqing, are you alright?" Ling Chen rushed to the Chairman’s office, deeply concerned.

"I’m fine. Ling Chen, who was that Ji Beizhao just now?"

"He is..."

"He’s your cousin," Lian Zhao Hui cut in before Ling Chen could finish.

"Cousin?" Nanrong Wanqing was taken aback, asking in confusion, "When did I get a cousin?"

Nanrong Yong sighed softly, and said with melancholy, "It’s a long story that dates back to my younger days."

"Grandfather, Wanqing, you guys talk, I will go down to check on Beizhao."

As Ling Chen turned to leave, Nanrong Yong quickly called out to him, saying, "Ling Chen, he was just misled and didn’t truly mean to target the Nanrong Family. I hope you can help."

Ling Chen nodded and said, "Grandfather, don’t worry, I know what to do."

Leaving the office, Ling Chen took the elevator straight to the security department.
