Chapter 355: His Fiancee

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

When Shi Xiao returned to the ward again, Wang Ping was no longer as terrified as before.

Thinking of Shi Xiao’s fiancee’s promise and the deposit she had already paid, he was a little smug.

As long as he did as that young lady said, not only could he get money, but he could also set Shi Xiao up. It was really a win-win for him.

“Your brother’s surgery is over. The blood clot in his head has been removed. There’s no other problem.” Shi Xiao’s tone was cold. He didn’t say that Wang Dong still had an observation period, since he couldn’t wait anymore.

“Where’s the money?” Wang Ping asked for the money right away. Money was the most important to him now.

After Shi Xiao nodded at the bodyguard beside him, the man took a suitcase and said, “There’s half of the money here. After we find Yuan Shu, I’ll give you the other half.”

Just as Wang Ping was about to reach for the money, he was stopped by the person beside him.

Shi Xiao continued to ask, “Where’s Yuan Shu? Tell me!”

Wang Ping looked at the suitcase and swallowed hard. “She’s in the forest at the top of Phoenix Mountain. I tied her up there.”

He made this up. He had clearly brought Yuan Shu to the seaside, but he had told Shi Xiao that she was on the mountain.

The Phoenix Mountain Range spanned like a phoenix spreading its wings. Moreover, it had yet to be developed. It wasn’t easy to find someone in the deep mountains and forests.

Shi Xiao looked at him suspiciously, but Wang Ping had already prepared an excuse. “We brothers grew up nearby. The villagers nearby know the way up the mountain. It’s just that no one is willing to go now. If you don’t believe me, you can investigate.”

He sat up straight and looked at Shi Xiao without blinking. “The two of us went back to the village previously to hide Yuan Shu. Otherwise, how could the Shi Corporation not find her?”

Thinking about how he had indeed been unable to obtain any news about Yuan Shu, Shi Xiao frowned. He wondered if she could withstand the harsh weather in the deep mountains and forests.

What Wang Ping said next made him worry. “Miss Yuan was injured when she was sent there and her wound is bleeding. If you don’t find her quickly…”

Before he could finish speaking, Shi Xiao grabbed his collar and said to Zhao Cheng, “Prepare people to go to Phoenix Mountain to find her immediately.”

He said to Wang Ping coldly, “You’d better pray that she’s fine!”

Phoenix Mountain was filled with mountains. Shi Xiao left in a hurry and his people searched in pairs, but they still couldn’t find her.

On the third day, rumors were already spreading in the Shi Corporation.

“Why isn’t President Shi here yet? I have several contracts waiting for him to sign!”

“Zhao Mian can’t explain it either. I don’t think Zhao Cheng came to the company either, right?”

“Could she have gone missing again? I wonder where Miss Yuan went?”

“Did something happen? What about the company?”

At first, Lin Xi was still pretending to call Shi Xiao in the office, but on the third day, not only could she not contact Shi Xiao, but Wang Ping didn’t answer the phone either. She knew that her plan had succeeded.

Just as the board of directors found Shi Xiao’s office, Lin Xi hurriedly stood up. “Everyone, listen to me. President Shi has something very important to deal with.”

Almost everyone in the company knew that her relationship with Shi Xiao was special, so no one thought that she was lying. There were even people who felt that only Lin Xi knew the truth.

However, the board of directors didn’t buy it.

“That won’t do. If he leaves, what about our work?”

“That’s right. We can’t just put this collaboration worth tens of millions of yuan on hold. When will he be back?”

“If he’s not going to come back, he should at least tell us, so at least someone else can make the decisions.”

Lin Xi cleared his throat, then showed a forged document.

“How could Shi Xiao not have prepared it? He already gave it to me.” Lin Xi held a document in her hand, and there was even Shi Xiao’s seal on it.

“You? Who are you? Why?” A director questioned.

“Because I’m his fiancee.” Lin Xi deliberately showed the ring on her finger. “When Shi Xiao went missing overseas, I saved him and took care of him, so he brought me back to the country. I’m his fiancee, so I naturally have the right to help him manage the company.”

At the same time, Jiang Chen also learned about Shi Xiao’s disappearance.

He couldn’t hide the joy in his heart. If Shi Xiao didn’t return, Yuan Shu would be able to return to his side.

When there was a knock on his office door, he still maintained a smile.

Song Shi was stunned for a second when she saw his smile. Then, she said happily, “Jiang Chen, my engagement dress is ready.. When is the engagement party?”
