Chapter 330: Kidnapping
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
After w.a.n.g Ping thought about it, he realized that the reason why he had been beaten up for the past two days was all because of Yuan Shu. He immediately transferred all his anger to Yuan Shu.
He felt that compared to Song s.h.i.+, who had a group of bodyguards protecting her, Yuan Shu was easier to bully. After all, bullying the weak and fearing the strong was one of w.a.n.g Ping’s principles.
w.a.n.g Ping asked tentatively, “What do you want to do?”
Song s.h.i.+ raised her hand to admire her fresh manicure and suggested with interest, “Why don’t you kidnap her and tie her up? Then, you can do whatever you want, right?”
When w.a.n.g Ping thought of Yuan Shu’s valiant whip, he immediately felt discouraged and said, “No, that woman is too powerful. It’ll be very difficult for me to secretly kidnap her.”
The bodyguard sneered. “It’s bad enough that you can’t beat us, but you can’t even beat a woman? What is someone as incompetent as you doing in the underworld?”
w.a.n.g Ping glared at him and thought to himself, “What do you know? The whip in Yuan Shu’s hand isn’t to be trifled with. You weren’t the one being hit, so you don’t know fear.”
Song s.h.i.+ looked at w.a.n.g Ping impatiently and said, “Trash, if you’re incapable, don’t pretend to be some sort of big shot. If you can’t even deal with Yuan Shu, what’s the use of keeping you around?”
Song s.h.i.+ waved her hand and voiced another idea. “How about this? Wait for me to inform you. After my people knock Yuan Shu out, you’ll be in charge of kidnapping her. You should be able to get this small matter done, right?”
When w.a.n.g Ping saw Song s.h.i.+’s gaze, he felt that she might beat him up again, so he immediately nodded and said, “Of course I can. Don’t beat me anymore.
Only then was Song s.h.i.+ satisfied and she got someone to let w.a.n.g Ping go. Before she left, she even instructed him not to tell anyone about what happened today.
w.a.n.g Ping knew Song s.h.i.+’s methods. If he said anything, he would definitely be beaten up again, so of course he wouldn’t say anything.
On the other side, as soon as Yuan Shu arrived at the company in the morning, she realized that the people in the company were giving her strange looks. However, Yuan Shu didn’t care and walked straight to her office.
After entering the office, she finally understood why everyone was giving her strange looks. It turned out that Lin Xi had been waiting for her in the office since early in the morning.
Yuan Shu frowned as she looked at Lin Xi who was currently sitting in her seat and looking at her provocatively.
Logically speaking, Lin Xi was s.h.i.+ Xiao’s personal a.s.sistant and all her work was directly communicated with s.h.i.+ Xiao, so there shouldn’t be any work-related matters that concerned her. Why was she in her office?
Yuan Shu asked politely in a business-like tone, “Miss Lin, what’s the matter?”
Lin Xi put away her provocative expression and put on a docile smile before saying, “Nothing much, I just came to see you, Sister.”
Yuan Shu frowned, but there was no change in her expression.
When Lin Xi called her ‘Sister’, it sounded awkward and there was no friendliness at all. Instead, her tone was full of hostility. Moreover, Lin Xi was sitting in Yuan Shu’s seat, so Yuan Shu could only sit on the opposite side of the desk. The two people’s ident.i.ties seemed to be swapped, and Yuan Shu suddenly became the outsider.
Yuan Shu remained impa.s.sive yet polite. “Miss Lin, if there’s nothing else, please leave my seat. I need to work.”
When Lin Xi heard this, not only didn’t she move, but she smiled even more sweetly instead.
There was a very small scar at the corner of her eye. If one didn’t look carefully, they wouldn’t be able to see it clearly. If she put on makeup, it could have been covered with foundation.
However, Lin Xi purposely revealed this scar, making it appear especially obvious when she smiled. However, the scar didn’t stand out. Instead, it was like a little b.u.t.terfly landing on her fluttering eyelashes, making her seem even more innocent and approachable.
Yuan Shu remembered that in the book, it was said that this scar was left behind when she saved s.h.i.+ Xiao in Africa. That was why Lin Xi purposely revealed this scar. Was it to arouse s.h.i.+ Xiao’s sympathy?
It had to be said that Lin Xi was far more scheming than described in the book.
Lin Xi’s smile was very sweet, but there was a hint of provocation in her eyes. She looked at Yuan Shu as she said, “Speaking of work, I remember that there are some tasks that I have to collaborate with you on. Please organize the information regarding all the content of the company’s website and hand it to me.”
Yuan Shu hesitated slightly. Lin Xi immediately added, “s.h.i.+ Xiao said that I will follow up on this matter in the future.”
She addressed him as s.h.i.+ Xiao, not Mr. s.h.i.+..
