Chapter 35-CEO novel (15)

These past few days, the entire society was in upheaval as the news on TV continuously reported the crimes of the Peng family.

There were rumors running wild on the Internet and people attacked and abused the Peng family everywhere they went.

Meanwhile, in the Peng Family’s household,

“Damn it.” Peng Qing’s hair was disheveled, cigarette butts and empty bottles of wine surrounded him in the room that was now full of a pungent smell.

And the beauties who originally surrounded him have long disappeared. It can be said that in the Peng family mansion, except for some old servants who were willing to stay, all the others had left without a trace and some had even made off with some valuables.

But how could Peng Qing have the time to worry about some servants? Currently, every single Peng family enterprise was a mess. Their businesses were being ignored by their partners, their underworld contacts surrendered to other gangs and some people have decided to take their business for themselves as they rose up in rebellion. There was no need to even mention the entertainment business, it has long been abandoned.

He threw down the documents in his hand and lit up another cigarette, inhaling a deep breath of smoke. With a greasy and unwashed face, he picked up the phone again and dialed each phone number, one by one. However, these phone numbers had either blocked him or hung up directly.

Was this divine retribution? A few days ago, he also cut off his own little brother with the same ruthlessness and now these business partners did the same to him.

Today, the last friendly company has withdrawn their funds. At this point, the Peng family could be considered to be on the verge of bankruptcy. Was the Peng family going to fall in his generation?!

What to do? Is there a way to fix this? Suddenly, his cell phone rang and he immediately picked up the phone. One must know, he has not connected a single call to anyone these past few days and now someone was calling him? Just who was it?

Staring at the screen, Peng Qing’s expression turned calculative and he raised the phone to his ear, his tone suddenly gentle and full of warmth,

“My dear, why are you calling me now?”

“Qing, I have heard everything about your situation over there. I begged President Mu for three days, but the damn old man won’t say a thing.” A concerned female voice came from the other side.

“My dear, it doesn’t matter. I don’t blame you, this is my own problem I have to fix.”

“No, Qing, the Peng family’s problems are my problems. I will definitely help you! Let’s think of a plan together!”

“A plan…” Peng Qing’s thoughts swirled and he licked his lips, his eyes full of calculation and he slowly told her his idea.

In the office,

“Qingli, after this storm passes we should start recruiting talents again. We probably will be looking at up to a few hundred new employees. Although not all the employees we fired were from the Peng family, the number is still impressive.”

The Mu Company and businesses had over 100,000 employees but they sniffed out over hundreds of rats. However, don’t underestimate these numbers as that meant that in every branch company there were at least 2-3 potential spies in the higher up position and at least five at the head company alone. Could it be said that the people from the Peng family hid too well, or that the Mu family’s recruiting was just too lax? It seems they would have to carefully investigate each leak one by one afterward, or else the Mu family will run into some problems in the future.

“Qingli, Mengyan, the coffee is ready.” Gu Anran and Hong Qingyi each handed a cup of coffee to their respective targets as they sat on the sofa to watch the news together.

“So is this how the Peng family ends?” Watching the various news on the screen and the harsh criticism from the audience, Gu Anran had no sympathy towards the Peng family and believed this was their justly deserved retribution.

“I don’t think so, even rabbits will bite before they die. Not to mention, the Peng family is not a weak rabbit, but a wolf, a cunning wolf.” Mu Qingli analyzed.

“However, we don’t know when the Peng family will take the next step, but we do know that this next move will determine their life or death. If they succeed, the Peng family will be saved from their downfall. If they fail, the Peng family will end up in prison.” Chi Mengyan commented, leaning her body lazily against Hong Qingyi.

“Then shouldn’t their next move be directed at the Duan family? After all, at least on the surface, it was the Duan family who attacked them.” Gu Anran tilted her head as Mu Qingli hugged her head to rest on Mu Qingli’s shoulder.

“Not necessarily. Although it was the Duan family who attacked first, they cannot retaliate now. The previous Peng family might have been able to face the Duan family head-on with the upper hand, but now it is impossible. I predict that the Peng family will try to find others who might cooperate with them and then they aim their attacks at us.” A trace of worry flashed in Mu Qingli’s eyes.

Gu Anran pursed her lips, thinking she really wasn’t suitable to be in the business industry. It required a lot of scheming and thinking about the most complicated of things. For successful people are threatening, but successful businessmen should be feared.

“But President Mu wouldn’t do something this stupid, right? Wouldn’t he be courting an early death by cooperating with the Peng family? If he does this, he will be dragged down with them.” Hong Qingyi grabbed a cookie from the table and took a bite. Immediately, the other half of the cookie was poached by Chi Mengyan in one bite. She glared at Chi Mengyan but only received a flirty and charming look back. Turning her head away, she felt quite helpless in her heart.

Eating cookies with my little sheep is the best! The cookies are even sweeter than usual! Chi Mengyan stretched out two fingers and said,

“President Mu might not be so stupid, but he has two fools behind him! And they are the type of fools who bite the hand that feeds them.” As for who those two people are….it was quite obvious…everyone present knew who they are.

“It seems I need to pay a visit to the Mu household today and talk with the President.” Rubbing her temples, Mu Qingli felt tired from just thinking about it.

“Qingli, I’ll go with you!” Gu Anran grasped Mu Qingli’s hand and looked at her expectantly.

“…ok.” Mu Qingli squeezed back, not planning on letting go anytime soon.

“Aiya~ How cheesy!” Chi Mengyan said hypocritically, her own hands reaching under Hong Qingyi’s clothes…wait! Under her clothes! Gu Anran’s eyes widened. Were they going to do that again? Right in front of them too!!

“Get your hands off of me!” Hong Qingyi blushed and pulled Chi Mengyan’s hands out of her clothes, throwing them to the side. Now on high alert, she glared at Chi Mengyan.

“Wuwuwuwu, Little Yi Yi, do you not love me anymore~” Chi Mengyan put on an aggrieved expression and howled.

“Hmph.” Hong Qingyi shook her head and ignored a certain dramatic someone as she continued to eat her cookies.

It’s about three now if we’re going to the main household it’s best to go early and finish our discussion quickly. Afterward, I can take Little Ran to dinner, it’ll be a date! I need to book a reservation first! Where should we eat? Should we go for steaks again or hot pot? Maybe Italian cuisine? Japanese food is good too!

Mu Qingli thought happily to herself, pulling Gu Anran up as she said to Hong Qingyi and Chi Mengyan:

“As there is nothing else to do here, we will be leaving first to solve the problem at the main household.”

Of course, Chi Mengyan perfectly understood what Mu Qingli was thinking inside her heart. Hmph, Mu Qingli is such a tsundere, an extreme case too! She has been a tsundere ever since we were young!

“En, I understand.” Chi Mengyan pouted, her own brain calculating potential date spots. Since you’re going on a date, then I’ll take my little sheep on one too! Maybe I can finally do it with her in the next few days.

After saying goodbye, Mu Qingli held Gu Anran’s hand as they took the elevator to the parking lot when suddenly Gu Anran felt like she needed to go to the bathroom.

“Qingli, I’m going to the bathroom.”

“Ok, go ahead. I’ll be in the car.” Mu Qingli nodded, Watching Gu Anran trot towards the bathroom. She walked over to her car and was about to open the door when suddenly she felt something hit her hard in the back of her head. Then, everything went black.

「Attention! The Female Lead has taken severe damage! The Female Lead has taken severe damage! The Female Lead has taken severe damage! Important things must be said three times! May the player please quickly resolve the situation.」

Gu Anran, who was about to calmly walk out of the restroom after washing her hands, frozen and then rushed out the door. Running the fastest as she ever had in her life, she saw some large man carrying an unconscious Mu Qingli into a van.

“What are you doing!” Gu Anran yelled and darted toward them. Her movements attracted the men’s attention and caused the men to move more quickly as they got onto the van. Gu Anran could only watch as they drove away, leaving behind a cloud of smoke and dust.

“F*ck!” Gu Anran entered Mu Qingli’s car and ignoring the security guards running towards her, she sped out of the parking lot and after the van that had kidnapped Mu Qingli. She thanked the heavens that it wasn’t working hours right now as even though the car was far away, she could still clearly see it with her naked eye.

Her foot pushed hard against the accelerator and the car chased after the target. One hand on the steering wheel, she used her other hand to make a call,

“Qingyi, Qingli was kidnapped a moment ago. She was abducted when I was in the bathroom.”

“What did you say?!” Hong Qingyi exclaimed, turning the phone’s volume up the maximum to let the Chi Mengyan beside her hear Gu Anran’s words.

“I’m staring at the van that kidnapped Qingli right now. I will chase after them, but can you guys call the police? The license plate number is 129387.”

“I got it, I will notify the police immediately.” Chi Mengyan understood the seriousness of this matter and quickly dialed 110 on her mobile phone with a dark expression.

“Anran, listen, don’t do anything impulsive! Do not act rashly.” Hong Qingyi said worriedly.

“I know, I know. I won’t do anything dangerous. The van is at a distance that should be barely visible to the naked eye. The other party probably hasn’t noticed yet. When I reach the destination, I will call you again.” She didn’t wait for Hong Qingyi to respond as she hung up and threw the phone into the backseat.

Both eyes stared intensely at the small dot on the horizon while her brain tried to figure out who did this. Just who would do this? A figure flashed in her mind.

Peng Yankai! That demented lunatic! If Mu Qingli fell into his hands, the consequences….will be unimaginable.
