The Beauty CEO's Personal Expert-Chapter 614 - 611 Military Threats

"Do you know what they told Wanqing?"

"I’m not sure, they sent me away at that time. Later, I went to ask Wanqing, but she didn’t mention a word about it, and there was nothing I could do."

Ling Chen frowned secretly and his gaze towards the two men in suits turned very unfriendly, with a faint glint of cold light in the depths of his eyes.

Threat!

These two bastards must have threatened Nanrong Wanqing to force her compliance with their demands.

Feeling the chill in Ling Chen’s eyes, one of the older men in suits spoke up sharply, "Ling Chen, don’t forget your previous identity. As a soldier, even though you are now retired, you should still prioritize national interests."

Ling Chen said indifferently, "I have never compromised national interests, but if it really was the intention of the nation, I believe they wouldn’t be so stingy. Wanqing has agreed to your terms, but as long as the contract hasn’t been signed, nothing is final. Haozi!"

"Chen, what do you need?"

"Take them to the reception room, get Wei to send a few people over, make sure to keep a close watch on these two. Without my permission, no one is allowed to let them go." After speaking, Ling Chen turned and walked towards the finance office.

Watching Ling Chen’s departing figure, the two men in suits looked at each other with somewhat ugly expressions, and in the depths of their eyes, there was a hint of panic.

"Ling Chen, stop right there!"

However, Ling Chen seemed deaf to their rebukes and slammed the door shut with a ’bang’.

Back in the chairman’s office, Ling Chen didn’t want to disturb Nanrong Wanqing’s rest, but he couldn’t let her unknowingly transfer the exoskeleton armor technology at a throwaway price. Over the years, Nanrong Wanqing had invested enormous sums of money in this technology; even several billion in transfer fees wouldn’t cover the costs.

"Wanqing." Ling Chen gently pushed her, whispering her name in her ear.

In a daze, Nanrong Wanqing fluttered her eyelashes, her eyes glittering like stars slowly opened, and seeing Ling Chen’s distinctively featured face, her sleepiness vanished mostly at once, and she sat up in bed, exclaiming with surprise, "You’re back!"

Ling Chen nodded and asked, "Let’s not talk about that first. I heard from Su Lin that you’re planning to undersell the patent rights for the exoskeleton technology?"

"They are from the military..."

Hearing this, before Nanrong Wanqing could continue, Ling Chen waved his hand and said, "What about the military? Does being in the military justify cheating and deceiving? If we’re doing business, we should be sincere. Whatever the price should be, it should at least not cause us to lose money. You have been the chairman for so many years, don’t you understand this?"

Nanrong Wanqing said softly, "It’s not that I don’t understand, it’s just..."

"Just what?"

Nanrong Wanqing hesitated for a moment, then shook her head, "Nothing."

But her hesitating expression couldn’t escape Ling Chen’s eyes. Seeing that she was reluctant to speak, he said, "Su Lin told me that those two men had a private conversation with you, what exactly did they say to you?"

"I can’t say."

"Why? Is there something you can’t say in front of me?"

"No, I didn’t mean that," Nanrong Wanqing said anxiously, "Just don’t ask, I’ve already agreed to it. Besides, whether it’s several billion or tens of billions, for Hongyu Group, it’s just a drop in the bucket, the amount doesn’t matter."

"That’s unacceptable."

Ling Chen could see that there was definitely a problem with this situation, but Nanrong Wanqing refused to say. Clearly, whatever made her do this was not simple.

Threat!

A thought flashed through Ling Chen’s mind. It must have been those two men threatening Nanrong Wanqing, making her fearful and unwilling to disclose it to him.

Thinking this, a wave of nameless anger surged in Ling Chen’s heart.

Damn it! Having spent so many years with the Ghosts, I was part of the military, and now they’re bullying me? Do they really think I don’t have a temper?

"Wanqing." Ling Chen looked directly into Nanrong Wanqing’s eyes, pausing on every word, "Tell me the truth, what exactly did they say to you?"

"I..."

Before Nanrong Wanqing could finish, Ling Chen cut her off, saying sternly, "Just remember, no matter what they said, it’s not enough to threaten you or me."

After speaking, Ling Chen watched Nanrong Wanqing, quietly waiting for her to speak.

After a while, Nanrong Wanqing, deep in thought, finally chose to be honest.

"They came to me and said, if I didn’t agree to their demands, they would have you arrested."

"Arrest me?" Ling Chen felt amused and asked, "Did they mention why?"

"They said you were guilty of murder. Recently, many bodies were discovered in East Sea City, and apparently, they’re all related to you. They told me they have sufficient evidence to prove that you killed those people."

Hearing this, Ling Chen immediately understood.

Recently, the God Organization had repeatedly sent people to cause trouble, all of whom he had dealt with. Murder, he indeed had committed, but those he killed were deserving of their fate. Previously, with the old general’s protection, even after committing murder, no one dared to touch him. Now that the old general had stepped back, it seemed someone was using this as an excuse to trouble him.

Who could it be?

Ling Chen thought to himself. He knew most of the high-ranking officials in the military, although he hadn’t interacted much with them, he at least had a rough understanding; there was no reason for those people to trouble him.

After thinking, Ling Chen took out his phone and directly called Tang Yuan. freewebnøvel_com

"I wasn’t aware of this; I haven’t even heard about it," Tang Yuan expressed surprise over the phone after learning of the situation.

"Tang Yuan, are you sure those two are people sent by the military?"

"That shouldn’t be a problem. I checked their IDs; they are all genuine. With my eye for detail, if the credentials were fake, I could spot them instantly; there’s no way they could deceive me."

"That’s strange then; we didn’t receive any news on our end. Besides, the collaboration with Hongyu Group was initiated by the Ghosts, and although Ghosts have disbanded, Lonely Wolf is still around. If there’s any negotiation to be done, it should be Lonely Wolf taking the initiative, not some military personnel acting on their own. Hang on, let me go find Mr. Han; he was the person who negotiated initially, he might know the situation."

"Alright, hurry up, let me know once you find out anything."

After hanging up the phone, Ling Chen looked at Nanrong Wanqing and said, "Don’t worry about this matter; just rest here peacefully, I’ll handle it."

Nanrong Wanqing, concerned, said, "Try not to conflict with them, I don’t want you to get into trouble."

"There’s no need to worry for me. Those two guys... huh! They’re not worthy enough to conflict with me."
