Chapter 17

"Father, Da Ying is not someone to be provoked. You should do as he says!" Zhang Baogang was genuinely afraid now. If Da Ying found out that someone was plotting against him, it wouldn't be hard to guess it was them. If the video and the memory card were really handed over to the disciplinary committee, they would be in trouble.

"My actions don't need your interference!" Zhang Gang glanced at Zhang Baogang with disappointment and said coldly, "In Qingshan Town, no one dares to touch me. Da Ying, you're really something!"

At this moment, the father and son still didn't know Chu Ying's name. Perhaps for Zhang Gang, it was beneath him to even know.

...

At the Dachengshan construction site, the lights were brightly lit, and the workers were still working enthusiastically. Inside the office, however, the scene was different.

Although it was already late at night, the sisters were still awake. Sister Ling Siyi was playing a card game on the computer, while Ling Xuan was pacing back and forth in the office, her expression a mix of anticipation and worry. Although she didn't know what Chu Ying had in mind, she was sure he was going to cause trouble for the Zhang family.

Thinking of the words Chu Ying had said earlier and his expression at the time, Ling Xuan said, "Sister, do you think he might really kill the Zhang family?"

Ling Siyi didn't look up, just said calmly, "If he were a brute, we wouldn't need to continue testing him."

"Sister, what do you think of him?" Ling Xuan showed a great interest in Chu Ying.

Ling Siyi stopped what she was doing, pondered for a moment, and slowly said, "His past must have been filled with things we can't even imagine. When he's angry, he's like a bloodthirsty lion, and the killing aura is palpable. But when he's happy, he's full of mischief, like a street thug. He's a complex person."

Ling Xuan's interest grew even more, and she smiled lightly, "He's an interesting person. Have you been moved by him?"

Ling Siyi rolled her eyes and countered, "Is it you, little girl, who has fallen for him? If our Xuanxuan likes a man, I don't know if any other man would still be alive if they found out."

Ling Xuan pouted, and the sisters started to play around. If someone saw, they would be surprised to see that the ice queen Ling Siyi had such a cute side.

As she spoke, Ling Xuan coldly snorted and suddenly pulled open the office door, just in time to meet Chu Ying, who had a smile on his face. He said, "Sisters, is it necessary to get so angry?"

At that moment, the office door knocked, and the sisters stopped their play. Ling Siyi returned to her cold demeanor and said, "Come in!"

Chu Ying pushed the door open, waved the notebook in his hand, and said with a smile, "It's done!"

"Sister, you talk. I'll go out first." Ling Xuan walked up to Chu Ying, made a face at him, patted his shoulder, and whispered, "This is just the first step of a long journey. I, your little sister-in-law, look forward to your better performance in the future!"

"Please rest assured, Commander. I will complete the mission!" Chu Ying, thinking of the glorious and arduous task of dating on orders, patted his chest and guaranteed.

Ling Xuan smiled faintly, "Little rascal, I have high hopes for you!" She then left the office and closed the door behind her.

Chu Ying handed the memory card and notebook to Ling Siyi, briefly explained the process and outcome of his negotiation with Zhang Gang, and concluded, "I don't trust him. I think he has a way to deal with it. While we wait for the results, we can't just sit idle. You know what to do better than I do."

Ling Siyi's gaze toward Chu Ying changed slightly. For the first time, she didn't argue with him but instead warned, "Zhang Gang is a vengeful person. Now that he has a handle on you, he won't let you off easily. Be careful. If nothing happens, stay here for a while."

Chu Ying chuckled, "My wife is here. Even if you kick me out, I won't leave. In the future, we'll eat, live, and start a business together, and then have a bunch of kids..."

Ling Siyi, who had just started to like this guy, was annoyed by his words. She quickly interrupted him, "You can eat anything, but you can't say anything. If someone hears what you just said, you'll be dead!"

Chu Ying raised an eyebrow, a powerful aura emanating from him. His expression was cold and fierce, and he teased, "Are you threatening me?"

Ling Siyi felt a chill. At this moment, Chu Ying gave her a feeling she couldn't face. She had only felt this aura from her father, but her father's status was far beyond what this man could compare to. This man must have an extraordinary background!

During the day, Ling Siyi had asked Huanzi about Chu Ying. From Huanzi, she learned some things about him, but with Ling Siyi's intelligence, she knew that Chu Ying's sixteen years of disappearance were far from simple.

"You can think that way if you want," Ling Siyi responded coolly, then ignored Chu Ying and casually flipped through the notebook, pretending to read it seriously.

Chu Ying was momentarily stunned and couldn't help but laugh. These sisters were indeed not simple. Ling Siyi was only in her twenties. At her age, most girls were either in college or immersed in love, or at best, a white-collar worker. But she was the CEO of a real estate company.

Without a powerful background, it was hard for Chu Ying to believe that Ling Siyi had achieved this on her own.

As for Ling Xuan, she appeared to be a fiery and spoiled girl, but Chu Ying could sense a strong aura from her, an aura that could only be cultivated in a specific environment.

What kind of environment could have produced such sisters? Chu Ying couldn't help but be curious about their identities.

He laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "You're my wife. Why should I argue with you? I'll pretend I didn't hear what you said earlier."

Ling Siyi had been paying attention to Chu Ying's reaction. She knew he wouldn't be so obedient just because of her words, but she was still angry and didn't want to explain.

After a moment's thought, Ling Siyi said solemnly, "I will handle the matter with the Zhang family. Let's give him a week. If he makes any moves, I'll make him regret not listening to you."

She paused, then looked at Chu Ying and said slowly, "Now, let's talk about the real business."

"Real business?" Chu Ying was puzzled. If dealing with the Zhang family wasn't the real business, what was? Could it be...

Seeming to have an idea, Chu Ying's eyes brightened, but he said cautiously, "What do you want to do? Don't do anything rash, or I'll cry foul!"

Although he said this, his hands were spread out, and his face showed no fear, only anticipation for Ling Siyi's "foul play."
