Quick Wear: Oops, the mission target is crying again

Chapter 1096 Angels Arrive 47

After more than a month of turmoil, the Fu family suffered several major business crises, the company's stock plummeted, and partners withdrew their investments and canceled their collaborations one after another. Finally, Lingyao obtained controlling interest in the Fu family's company.

When Lingyao opened her eyes again, she was already standing in front of a company building.

This is the current headquarters of the Chung Group in London.

The endless skyscrapers resemble a steel forest, with rows of small, cubicle-like office buildings confining office workers inside.

During the time she was acquiring the Fu family company, Lingyao didn't sit idle. She questioned Zhong Yanchuan thoroughly, over and over again.

They paid particular attention to asking about his leg injury and the timeline of events.

At first, Zhong Yanchuan was unwilling to bring up this matter, but he would purse his lips whenever Lingyao mentioned it.

But he couldn't bear giving others a handle against him, and later, panting, he still told Lingyao the story in fits and starts.

According to Zhong Yanchuan himself, his leg injury was caused by Zhong Xiaochen's business partner, who was Michael's uncle, who had almost lost his life in a racetrack accident.

Michael's uncle was not as powerful as the Chung family, but Michael had an older sister in the royal family, which made things much easier for him.

In addition, Zhong Xiaochen has offended too many people, and the royal family also thinks he is a ticking time bomb that is difficult to control. So in recent years, people from the business and political circles have basically joined forces to suppress him.

However, Zhong Xiaochen was no pushover either, and the two sides fought fiercely.

Zhong Yanchuan became a victim of this war.

As prominent businessmen, they had every reason to send Zhong Xiaochen an invitation to the birthday celebration of a member of the royal family.

During this period, the relationship between the two sides was tense and fraught with tension. Everyone knew that this was a trap, and the key was that Zhong Xiaochen had no choice but to attend.

After all, the royal family had already laid the groundwork in various news reports, saying that Zhong Yanchuan was an enemy who now controlled a vital economic lifeline but did not respect the royal family and imperial power, and was a spy businessman who was trying to divide the country.

When this news spread, it led to a boycott of Zhong Xiaochen's products and businesses by some members of the public.

If he doesn't even accept the invitation to this member of the royal family's birthday celebration, they might just find an excuse to throw him in jail and convict him of espionage.

However, going there might bring many unforeseen dangers.

Therefore, Zhong Xiaochen sent Zhong Yanchuan instead.

Zhong Yanchuan agreed to go because he made a deal with Zhong Xiaochen: after attending the banquet, he would return to China.

Previously, because of Zhong Xiaochen, Zhong Yanchuan was unable to return to China and couldn't even buy a plane ticket back.

This time, he made a deal with Zhong Xiaochen.

Unexpectedly, on their way to the banquet, they were attacked by terrorists, and an explosion occurred on a road they were passing through.

Zhong Xiaochen fell into a deep coma on the spot. When he woke up, he was informed that his legs had suffered severe blast injuries in the explosion and that he would never be able to stand up again unless he used prosthetics for training.

This outcome was unexpected for Zhong Xiaochen, but since it had already happened, he could only accept it.

However, he quickly used this incident to spread the news extensively, judging the accident as a deliberate murder, and in various circulating stories, he portrayed himself as a pitiful father whose son was murdered and became disabled.

Such news quickly sparked public controversy and condemnation.

In addition, Zhong Xiaochen also made large donations at this time and distributed corporate relief supplies to impoverished people.

Soon, a large number of people began to side with Zhong Xiaochen. Under pressure from public opinion and Zhong Xiaochen's economic threats, the royal family finally pushed Michael's uncle out as a pawn.

Based on the overwhelming evidence, Michael's uncle was convicted of intentional murder and imprisoned.

Zhong Xiaochen had no rivals in the business world for the time being.

......

When Lingyao heard this, she was heartbroken. In the whole incident, the only victim was Zhong Yanchuan.

That beast Zhong Xiaochen! Lingyao wanted nothing more than to tear him to pieces.

Zhong Yanchuan, who was initially still in Ling Yao's arms, stopped panting and moaning as he talked.

Her lips were pursed in a wronged manner, and her voice was low.

Hearing this, Lingyao couldn't help but tilt her head back and kiss him to comfort him.

"It's okay. It'll be fine."

If someone else said those words, it might just be meant to comfort them.

But Lingyao wasn't saying these words to comfort him; she was telling Zhong Yanchuan that things would get better, that his leg would heal.

Lingyao randomly grabbed a passerby and asked what the date was. She quickly got the answer: today was the day before Zhong Yanchuan was to attend the banquet.

Since she couldn't go up into the company building without her employee ID, Lingyao waited for people at the company entrance.

Many people came and went during that time, but none of them were the figure Lingyao wanted to see.

Around lunchtime, people gradually came out of the high-rise building. Lingyao stared at the people coming out of the gate for a long time before she saw Zhong Yanchuan, who was late and accompanied by several white people.

He was wearing a black overcoat, with a brown luxury scarf casually draped around his neck, not wrapped around it, but hanging down on both sides of the open overcoat.

He was glancing sideways and talking to the person next to him.

As he spoke, his keen observation seemed to detect that someone was watching him. He turned his head and met Ling Yao's gaze.

A girl was standing on the road outside the company gate.

She wore a thin chestnut-colored long dress, with a silk belt around her slender waist, and her long hair was slightly curled and casually draped over her shoulders.

Her skin and hair color were typical of an East Asian, but her features were very defined. Her fair face was free of makeup, and she stood there like a noble and proud snow lotus.

And the other person seemed to be looking at him at that moment?

Zhong Yanchuan felt that the other person was very familiar, so familiar that he didn't know why, but the moment he saw her, his heart involuntarily clenched tightly.

It felt as if a hand had gripped and tightened it, causing him to catch his breath.

But he couldn't explain why it felt so familiar.

The person who was talking to him noticed that Zhong Yanchuan was no longer listening to him and was looking in a certain direction, so he followed Zhong Yanchuan's gaze.

Her eyes lit up: "A beautiful Oriental beauty."

After subconsciously praising him, she turned to look at Zhong Yanchuan, who was still in a daze.

"Chuan, do you know this person? Is he your friend?"

Zhong Yanchuan then came to his senses and shook his head when asked, "I don't know him."

The two continued walking towards the door.

"Don't you recognize her? I thought you two were friends. I felt like she kept looking at you, but that's normal, you're handsome, everyone looks at you when you're walking. So, what are we having for lunch today?"

As they spoke, the two had already walked to Ling Yao's side and were about to pass each other.

"Either is fine," Zhong Yanchuan replied, unable to resist glancing at the girl standing close to him.
