Chapter 19: When Are You Going to Marry Xi'er?

  As soon as Old Xu spoke, the whole scene suddenly stirred. Those shareholders who were watching from the sidelines stood up one after another with shocked expressions, each with a look of fear on their faces.

  They just came to make comments. Don't want to die here.

  Bai Yicheng's body stiffened for a moment. His fierce eyes stared at Old Man Xu. He shouted, "Nonsense! I'll kill you right now!" He quickly drew out his pistol and aimed it at Old Man Xu's forehead, his eyes filled with violent intimidation.

  Leng Xi was so scared that her face turned pale. She grabbed Ling Han's hand and couldn't stop trembling. The cold sweat on her forehead kept seeping out of her skin like dew drops. She was really afraid, but she didn't know why. Her hands and feet were icy cold, and her stomach was cramping with pain.

  Ling Han's warm and gentle hand stroked the cold creek that had shrunk into his arms, silently comforting her.

  "Kill me then. You won't be able to leave alive either. Ling Han, I didn't think you'd end up like this too... Haha..." Xu Lao Tou stood on the side, his eyes gleaming with sinister and destructive malice as he burst into maniacal laughter.

  In an instant, the atmosphere fell into a dangerous and icy state. The air seemed to be filled with scorching and bloody elements. Breathing became cautious, afraid of taking a deep breath, as if the entire office was about to explode.

  Facing such a stern expression and Old Man Xu's harsh words, Ling Han suddenly curled his lips into a smile, as if he had heard the most hilarious joke in the world. His thin lips slightly curved upwards, his deep eyes narrowed, and countless dazzling lights burst forth from his lips. His beauty was unparalleled, stunning everyone's eyes.

  Bai Yicheng was even more stimulated by this smile, his mouth twitching. What kind of time is this? Ling Han actually laughed out loud. Perhaps Old Man Xu really did install a timed bomb in this conference room. The lives of everyone in the house are hanging by a thread. And he still has the nerve to laugh.

  Xu Lao Tou glanced at Ling Han with a scornful sneer, humming, "Dead to the end", but was just pretending to be calm.

  At this time, under everyone's astonished gaze, Ling Han slightly curled his lips and snapped his fingers. Du Shaoxi walked over with a sly smile, placed a black square box in Ling Han's hand, then cast a contemptuous smile at Old Man Xu.

  "This is your last chip, what a pity, it's just a fake, nothing but a toy." Ling Han flipped the box in his hand and said lightly.

  Xu Lao Tou's eyes widened in shock. How could that be? The bomb was clearly the one he had painstakingly obtained from America, and he had paid so much money for it. How could it possibly be a toy?

  "You probably don't know, but on the American side, this kind of business is mostly controlled by our boss alone." Du Shaohui rubbed his nose to explain to Old Man Xu's confusion.

  You think you're the big boss of the Golden Triangle just because you eat white rice? Du Shaohui was very pleased with himself.

  "Ladies and gentlemen, you also heard it just now. Xu Lang's ultimate goal is the position of CEO of Lingyun Group. Everything he has done is to get Lingyun Group. The former CEO of Lingyun Group, Ling Yun Tian, was also designed and killed by him and Manager Leng." Du Shaoxi suddenly changed his tone, gritting his teeth as he swept a glance at Xu Lao and Leng Long.

  "No. Not us. We really didn't frame President Ling." Long Dragon hastily explained, his forehead tense with sweat.

  The cold and gloomy eyes sank, with a stormy wave rising in the black pupils. The chilly air was turbulent and rolling. Leng Xi could feel his hand tightening around hers. It was so tight that she almost couldn't breathe. Her whole body was icy cold, her legs numb and weak. She grasped his shirt tightly, her voice weak and powerless. "Ling Han, I don't feel well. Can we leave?"

  Her legs trembled with weakness, but she was even more afraid of Ling Han's anger. What happened next, she really didn't want to hear anymore. She really didn't dare to imagine that her own father might have actually participated in the unforgivable act of harming Ling Han's father.

  Nor does she know how to face Ling Han if this is true.

  "Brother, you have to believe me. I absolutely wouldn't do such a thing. Ling Yun Tian has been kind to our Cold family. How could I possibly harm him? You have to believe me." Leng Long's heart was burning with anxiety as he sincerely explained to Leng Xi.

  "White officer, take these people away... For now, suppress the case of my father's plane crash..." Ling Han suddenly spoke coldly. His narrow and deep eyes sank with a hint of gloom. He horizontally picked up the trembling Cold Creek and walked steadily towards the outside.

  Leng Xi hooked her arms around Ling Han's neck, buried her face tightly in his chest, and listened to his steady and powerful heartbeat. Her heart suddenly tightened, a wave of fear messed up her heart.

  She suddenly felt very afraid, very afraid. What kind of fear is this? Even she herself couldn't explain it clearly. If one day, she no longer had the right to love, what would she do?

  Leng Long and Xu Lian privately formed a gang, embezzled public funds, engaged in illegal transactions, were convicted of crimes, and were arrested by Bai Yicheng under the Criminal Law.

  This sensational farce finally ended with Ling Han's victory.

  "What should be done with those who participated in the parade?" Du Shaohui held a stack of name lists, asking Ling Han somewhat hesitantly.

  Sitting by the bed of the cold creek, Ling Han's worried hand touched her forehead. Cold. Very cold. No signs of fever. But there were signs of gradual cooling down. He furrowed his brow and replied evasively, "Dr. Shao hasn't arrived yet. Go hurry him up."

  Her hand was grasped by a soft, yet icy hand. Leng Qing looked at Ling Han's worried expression and felt a warm current surging in her heart. She blinked her eyes, and her dense eyelashes fluttered like butterflies. She forced a weak smile on her face. "I'm fine... I just feel a bit cold. I... I was just scared..." She said with some embarrassment.

  She had a faint fear in her heart, worried about something, but couldn't quite put it into words. In short, she had an inexplicable sense of unease and a lingering sadness.

  Du Shaohui saw their sweet and intimate scene, he couldn't help but curl his lips in disdain. "Hey, hey, hey. Han Shao, aren't you overreacting a bit? That thrilling scene just now, I'm used to it. Xi'er is a weak woman, she's never seen such a serious atmosphere since childhood. Her fear is a normal reaction for a girl like her. No need to make such a big fuss about it. Make a decision quickly, the company still needs to operate normally and is waiting for your order, Great President."

  "Ling Han, you go to work. I'm fine. Just rest for a while and it'll be okay." Leng Xi pushed Ling Han gently. She didn't want to delay his business.

  Ling Han's brow was still furrowed with worry, and he didn't leave the bedside. He turned to Du Shaohui and said, "All those who participated in the parade will be fired. None of them will receive any company benefits. A disloyal dog by one's side will only bite its master. Immediately go post recruitment ads. Tell the interviewer to come up with a difficult question to test loyalty. Those who fail will not be hired." Ling Han's words were decisive and intimidating, exuding an aura of royalty that made people willingly submit.

  He was like that under the radiant sunlight, with a majestic and powerful aura that made people's hearts skip a beat. His sharp facial features were mesmerizing, and Cold Creek couldn't help but be enchanted by his masculine charm and decisiveness at that moment.

  Du Shaohui immediately retreated and went out. When he went downstairs, he happened to bump into Dr. Shao who was hurrying over. He smiled awkwardly and said, "Dr. Shao, you're as vigorous as ever. The taste of wandering around the women in Zhou's family isn't bad, is it?"

  "You..." Dr. Shao was so angry at his playful teasing that he puffed out his cheeks and glared with his eyes wide open, almost blowing his old glasses off his nose. Du Shaohui quickly slipped away, laughing. "Haha, Dr. Shao, you old rascal! Don't glare at me, hurry up and go, Han Shao is still waiting for you."

  Dr. Shao rubbed his glasses, took a few deep breaths, and hummed. Those who stayed by Han Shao's side were not good people. They would often tease this old man for no reason.

  If Du Shaoxi's words were heard by Han Shao, Han Shao would have destroyed him, Dr. Shao.

  Dr. Shao checked Xi'er's body and felt a sense of relief in his heart. Fortunately, Xi'er had endured a lot of hardships since childhood and had developed some resistance. The child in her belly was safe and sound.

  "It's nothing serious, Xi'er just got a fright and her body is weak. She needs to take good care of herself. And during this period of recuperation... ah... you'd better..." Dr. Shao rubbed his glasses somewhat awkwardly.

  Her cold eyes narrowed, her deep pupils gazing at him, waiting for his next words.

  Dr. Shao cleared his throat and continued, "It's best not to do that to Xi'er... uh... yeah..."

  Dr. Shao's tone was sarcastic and teasing, causing Leng Xi's face to suddenly flush with heat, her small face covered in a layer of crimson red, full of shyness.

  His eyes sank, and he waved his hand. "Alright, I know." How annoying. This was to restrain himself. His own woman could only be looked at but not touched. There's nothing more frustrating than this.

  "There's still a chance that Xi'er might be more emotional and sensitive lately, her mood can easily turn bad. You should spend more time with her, this child..."

  "Alright, I know. It's none of your business. You can go now." Ling Han somewhat irritably sent Dr. Shao away.

  Dr. Shao paused, his words trailing off into silence. A wave of discomfort suddenly surged up in his heart. He spoke carefully. "Alright, I'll just say one more thing and then I'll leave. When do you plan on marrying Xi'er?"

  The words fell. Leng Xi's head was shocked. All attention was focused on this sentence. The heart suddenly jumped wildly. Tensely and expectantly looking at Ling Han.

  When will he marry her? Will he marry her?

  His face, half evil and half handsome, suddenly turned gloomy. His eyes were filled with cold frost. The black pupils rotated like a whirlpool, mysterious and profound, unfathomable. He didn't say a word, but turned his face to stare at Dr. Shao, as if trying to see through his thoughts.

  His cold aura made Dr. Shao feel a sudden pressure in his heart. However, since he had already asked the question out loud and wanted to decide whether or not to tell Ling Han and Xi Er about this child's existence, he had to get an answer no matter how much pressure Ling Han put on him. This was because it concerned the life and death of this child.

  Dr. Shao adjusted his expression, staring straight into the cold and stern eyes without backing down. He said seriously, "If you're just playing with Xi'er, then please let her go now..."
