“Oh. So, what do you want me to do?” Ouyang Mingqi sounded calm and casual.

Xia Ruolin thought for a while and said, “I want you to get someone to stop him from transferring the company.”

“And how do you intend to stop him? You can stop him once but can you stop him for the second or third time?”

Xia Ruolin clutched her phone tightly. She kept quiet for a long while and suddenly said depressingly, “Then, let’s make sure that he will never get to transfer it.”

“Okay. But how can I benefit from helping you?” Ouyang Mingqi said again.

“Ouyang Mingqi, did you forget that we’re alliance? Help me, and of course, I will help you in the future.” Xia Ruolin promised.

“Okay. You better remember what you’ve said.” Ouyang Mingqi hung up the phone immediately.

Xia Ruolin put away her phone and splashed her face with cold tap water. She calmed down and looked into the mirror in front of her, “Grandpa, you’ve forced me to do this.”

Silence fell upon her and Xia Mei was no longer knocking on her door. She must have gone to the office. Xia Ruolin opened the bathroom door and walked out to her room. She sat on the bed, quietly waiting for Ouyang Mingqi to take action.

Meanwhile, at the 4s shop.

“Can you hurry up?” Xia Weilan checked the time, and it was almost time for Mo Beichen to go to work.

“Miss Xia, it’ll take another five minutes. It’ll be done soon.” The staff replied while cleaning the car.

Xia Weilan sat on the sofa and took a few more glances at the clock. She finally heard the staff say that the cleaning was completed. She quickly stood up and stepped forward to open the car door.

A nice smell welcomed her and the Maybach looked completely new. Xia Weilan glanced at the passenger seat and saw a brand new leather seat cover had been fitted. She was satisfied with the outcome. She got in the car and drove away immediately.

The moment she left the 4s shop, she received a call from Mo Beichen.

“Hubby, I’m done and I’m on my way back.” Xia Weilan said without waiting for Mo Beichen to speak.

“Okay. I’m already on my way to work with another car. Once you get home, have some breakfast before going to the office.” Mo Beichen said with tenderness. His voice was so tender that it could make her ears pregnant.

“Okay.” Xia Weilan hung up the phone and felt a lot more relaxed. Just when she was about to put away her phone, she received another call.

It was from an unfamiliar number. Xia Weilan hesitated for a while before picking it up. The voice of an anonymous man was heard, he said coldly, “Is this Miss Xia Weilan? I’m a police officer from the Jiangbin Police Station calling from Jiangbin Avenue. There has been a fatal car accident here. Nobody survived the car accident…”

Xia Weilan’s lips trembled. She said in disbelief, “What did you just say? Who is in a car accident?”

“It’s Old Master Xia. Please come over now, I’m at…” The policeman repeated the location. Xia Weilan’s mind went blank.

When Xia Weilan turned into Jiangbin Avenue, she saw a lot of bystanders there. When she got closer, she saw the barricade set up by the police, prohibiting unauthorized entry. Xia Weilan couldn’t see what’s going on inside.

She stopped the car and reached out to pull the key. She realized that her hand was shaking so badly that she couldn’t even pull out the key.

In the end, she didn’t even care about the key. She got out of the car and pushed herself through the crowds.

“Excuse me, please let me pass through! Xia Weilan yelled loudly. The people in front of her automatically stepped aside, looking at her oddly.

She rushed over. A policeman saw her and immediately asked, “Are you Miss Xia? This way, please follow us to confirm the identity of the deceased.”

Xia Weilan didn’t know how she managed to walk over. She saw three corpses lying on the road with their bodies covered by white cloths.

The people around her whispered something but she couldn’t figure out what they were talking about. Some of them gazed at Xia Weilan with sympathy while some were emotionless at all as if they were just standing there out of curiosity.

There was no time to care about those things. The police in front of her had already flipped open the white cloth one by one, revealing the lifeless faces under them.

The police stared at her, “Let’s see if it’s your…”

“Grandpa!” Xia Weilan called out suddenly and knelt in front of Old Master Xia.

The policeman shut his mouth and habitually took out a tissue and handed it to her, “Deepest condolence!”

Xia Weilan couldn’t hear anything now. Tears kept flowing like a river from her eyes until it went dry. Her eye sockets were red and swollen, and her expression turned numb.

At this moment, someone rushed over. First, it was Xia Mei, followed by Xia Ruolin, and Xue Zhiqing. Xia Weilan heard Xia Mei questioning the police, “What’s happened? How did this happen? Did you come across anything?”

“Madam, we retrieved the car from the river. The car fell into the water after colliding with another vehicle. We’ve checked the other vehicle that was involved in the accident. The driver had surrendered himself for drunk driving.”

Xia Ruolin pretended to rub her eyes to make them appear red. However, she couldn’t squeeze out a single drop of tear. She swept a glance at Xia Weilan, and she secretly sneered. She did not feel sad at all.

Xia Mei restrained her sadness and dealt with the police while Xue Zhiqing followed beside her to comfort her.

At this moment, a tall and lofty figure pushed his way through the crowd. He looked at the thin figure not far away from him and strode towards Xia Weilan, pulling her up from the ground.

Xia Weilan lifted her eyes in a daze. After she saw that it was Mo Beichen, she didn’t show any emotions.

Mo Beichen frowned and comforted, “You can cry if you wanted to.”

Xia Weilan was already exhausted from crying just now and was already out of tears. She overheard Xia Mei contacting someone from the funeral home to arrange for them to collect the bodies.

“Weilan, are you okay?” Mo Beichen felt her powerful grasp on his arm but she didn’t seem to notice it at all.

“I’m fine.” Xia Weilan said calmly and loosened her grip.

“I’ll send you home to get some rest. I’ll let Xu Wei stay back to help deal with the matter here.” Mo Beichen grabbed her hand again, looking concerned.

Xia Weilan didn’t say anything as Mo Beichen led her into the car.

Xia Ruolin there, staring straight in the direction where Mo Beichen and Xia Weilan left.

Her eyes were flashing with resentment.

Mo Beichen drove away and noticed Xia Weilan staring at him blankly.

She looked like a body with no soul.

Mo Beichen felt pitiful for her but she was very calm. She didn’t cry but followed him back to Fairview Imperial Court. She entered the bedroom and lay down quietly.
