In the huge office, the atmosphere was extremely oppressive. Everyone was trembling with fear and dared not say a word.
Leng Jing sat with her legs crossed in a haughty posture. She glanced at the people present, then stood up. "Anyway, I won't agree to this cooperation. It will bring no benefits to the company at all. Instead, it may even have a negative impact on the company."
Zhai Cheng's face flashed a look of surprise, which he quickly covered up. "I'll make the decision on this matter. There's no need to discuss it further."
"I'm also a shareholder of the company and have the right to speak. Isn't it a bit too arbitrary for you, Mr. Zhai, to do so?" Leng Jing described it calmly.
The other shareholders kept silent, also confused. They were clearly relatives. How could they suddenly be at odds with each other?
"I'm also doing this for the good of the company. Do you think I'll let the empire I built with my own hands be ruined by myself?" Zhai Cheng didn't give in an inch either. The two were at a stalemate.
Leng Jing sneered. "Who knows? You can even keep a useless person like Song Ge by your side. How can you not do such a thing?"
"You!" Zhai Cheng was furious but managed to hold back his anger. "The meeting is over. We'll discuss this matter later."
The other shareholders quickly packed up their things and left, not daring to stay for a second longer.
Leng Jing also slowly packed up her things, not looking at Zhai Cheng once throughout the process.
"Leng Jing, stay behind."
Hearing her name called, Leng Jing wasn't surprised. She put down her things, sat down, and crossed her arms. "What else do you want to talk to me about, Mr. Zhai?"
"How could you become like this?" Zhai Cheng said painfully. Although Leng Jing used to be a bit willful, she still knew what was important.
Leng Jing burst into laughter, and tears slid down the corners of her eyes. She casually wiped them away. "What am I like now? I've become like this because of you all."
Zhai Cheng shook his head. "It's your own choice, Leng Jing. Don't be misled by others."
"Misled? Humph." Leng Jing looked disdainful. "Zhai Cheng, you've always been lecturing me. I've had enough of it over the years."
Zhai Cheng's eyes were complicated. Leng Jing had been by his side for all these years, but he never thought that she would view him like this.
Leng Jing calmed her emotions. She seductively brushed her hair, but the words she said were cold. "Zhai Cheng, I'll make you regret keeping Song Ge."
Zhai Cheng frowned and said nothing.
"Also, I'll avenge Ji Qingyun. I'll make you taste the pain of losing your dearest one!" Every word of hers hit Zhai Cheng hard.
"All this has nothing to do with Song Ge. She..."
Leng Jing covered her ears, refusing to listen to Zhai Cheng. "I don't want to hear it. Anyway, it's all your fault. I'll make you taste the pain!"
She paused for a moment, then smiled, but the smile didn't reach her eyes. "By the way, remind you to guard your company well. Don't say I, your niece, didn't warn you later."
After saying this, Leng Jing picked up her things and left the meeting room without hesitation.
Zhai Cheng sat on the chair, staring at the meeting room in front of him. His mind was in a complete mess, and he couldn't find a way out.
Song Ge was also in a mess.
She didn't know what she had done wrong. Zhai Cheng always avoided her. They could have discussed things and solved them together, but he refused to communicate.
Song Ge was extremely upset. She wanted to find someone to complain to, so she dialed Wu Yilan's phone number, but no one answered.
This made her feel confused, but then she thought that maybe Wu Yilan was busy.
After thinking for a while, she called Xu Jiawei, and the other person answered quickly.
"Why does Miss Song have the time to call me?" The other person's teasing voice came.
A smile appeared on Song Ge's lips. This was probably the only smile she had in so many days. "Stop joking. Are you free later? Let's go out for something to eat."
The other person paused for a moment. It seemed that someone was talking to her. After a while, the voice came again. "I have to work overtime later." The voice sounded pitiful.
Song Ge was a bit disappointed. Suddenly, she thought of Wu Yilan. "By the way, have you been in touch with Yilan? I just called her, but no one answered."
"I also find it strange. I called her several times before, but no one answered. I don't know where she's gone to have fun."
Song Ge vaguely felt that something was wrong. Wu Yilan usually reported where she was going. "I'll go to her house first. I'll contact you later."
After hanging up the phone, Song Ge immediately went to Wu Yilan's house, but the door was tightly closed.
Song Ge had no choice but to ask the neighbor next door.
"Her family has been closed for a few days. I don't know where they've gone. It seems to be because of something about their daughter."
Song Ge felt that the situation was getting more and more wrong, so she didn't leave immediately. Instead, she sat in front of Wu Yilan's house and waited for her parents to come back.
For some reason, maybe because she was too tired, Song Ge fell asleep right in front of the door.
When Mother Wu and Father Wu came back, they saw someone in front of the door. They thought it was their daughter who had come back and excitedly stepped forward. "Yilan."
Song Ge woke up when she heard the voice, and her mind was still a bit fuzzy.
Seeing that it wasn't her daughter, Mother Wu couldn't hide her disappointment. "It's Song Ge."
Song Ge stood up. She remembered that the last time she saw them was just a month ago, but she found that Wu Yilan's parents had aged a lot. The hair on their temples had turned white.
"Uncle and Aunt, is Yilan at home? I can't get in touch with her."
Mother Wu suddenly grabbed Song Ge's hand as if she had grabbed a life - saving straw. "Song Ge, please save Yilan." They really didn't know what to do.
"What's wrong with Yilan?" Song Ge's heart skipped a beat.
"Let's go inside and talk." Father Wu opened the door. After all, there were too many people outside, and if someone heard them, who knew what rumors would spread.
After entering and sitting down, Song Ge asked, "What exactly happened?"
Mother Wu's eyes were full of tears, and she choked with sobs. "A few days ago, someone called and said that Yilan had been kidnapped by them."
"What! Kidnapped?" Song Ge exclaimed. "How could this happen? Yilan rarely has grudges with others on weekdays."
Father Wu also sighed. "Who says it isn't? We can't figure out who did this either."
"Did the kidnappers say what they wanted?"
Mother Wu and Father Wu both shook their heads. They hadn't been able to eat or sleep well these days.
The kidnappers never said what they wanted. Father Wu even took the initiative to call them and said that they could give them as much money as they wanted, but the other side still didn't let go. No one knew what they were after.
Song Ge was also a bit panicked, but she managed to calm down. "Uncle and Aunt, did you call the police?"
