Sixth update! The next second, before Jiang Qi could say anything more, the crowd boiled over again. This was because Ouyang Qingcheng, a name synonymous with Chu Qingxue, arrived and reignited the atmosphere. Looking around, one could see Ouyang Qingcheng, whose presence was overwhelming, a woman as mysterious as Chu Qingxue and equally popular.NovelFire "Master, I have something to report to you!" Bai Jie whispered beside Ouyang Qingcheng. Ouyang Qingcheng’s lips parted slightly, her tone filled with interest, "Does it concern Ye Chenfeng?" Bai Jie nodded, "Master, you are right, it’s about Ye Chenfeng! Do you know? The young man who escaped when we tried to catch the mad Taoist that day was Ye Chenfeng!" "It really is him, just as I had guessed!" Ouyang Qingcheng nodded. "Master, I also suspect that the masked man in black is him!" Bai Jie shared her thoughts. Ouyang Qingcheng smiled charmingly, "This is getting more and more interesting. Are you really my little boyfriend? I do hope it’s you! I’m getting more and more interested in you, giggle..." The corporate executives looked at Ouyang Qingcheng with odd expressions. After all, her sudden laughter seemed incredibly eerie. "Miss Ouyang!" Chu Qingxue approached, greeting her first. "Miss Chu!" Ouyang Qingcheng responded with a smile. Both women were darlings of heaven, blessed with perfection in everything. However, when these two stunning women faced each other, their calm and clear gazes collided, but beneath the surface lurked an invisible murderous intent. Actually, in Chu Qingxue’s mind, her biggest rival was not Jiang Qi, but Ouyang Qingcheng, who was overly mysterious and might have some hidden killer moves. "Miss Chu seems very determined to win the bid this time?" ventured Ouyang Qingcheng after a while. However, Ouyang Qingcheng’s remark reminded Chu Qingxue, who had not seen Dong Zheng. "Leave it to fate!" Chu Qingxue chuckled. Giggling, Ouyang Qingcheng’s smile was meaningful, "Miss Chu, you never used to submit to fate. Less confident today?" "Overconfidence is not a good thing! Miss Ouyang, I have some other matters to attend to. Excuse me!" Chu Qingxue left after saying this and hurried away. Ouyang Qingcheng watched Chu Qingxue’s retreating figure, pondering something, then she glanced at Jiang Qi. "What happened?" Chu Qingxue ran out and encountered Ye Chenfeng, who was just about to go in. Chu Qingxue looked anxious, "Dong Zheng has disappeared, and his phone isn’t reachable!" "Ah? Dong Zheng has disappeared?" Ye Chenfeng’s heart also skipped a beat. He suddenly realized, if those people had control over Dong Zheng who had the final project proposal, wasn’t that enough? Did they need to go to such lengths to stop Chu Qingxue? Of course, it was likely their last trump card, something that might attract police attention. They wouldn’t use it until the last moment. "What should we do? I’ll go look around!" Ye Chenfeng began searching everywhere, and so did Chu Qingxue. But after a full circle, they discovered nothing. When he told Chu Qingxue this, her complexion turned pale, and there was even a thin layer of sweat on her forehead. Not finding Dong Zheng meant something crucial— all her previous efforts could be wasted. Thinking this, she deeply blamed herself for not having any backups from Dong Zheng, trusting him completely with everything, yet facing such a glitch at the last moment. "Tsk!" At that moment, a line of sedans arrived; Qiu Muran and others had come a little earlier than anticipated, thanks of course to Xi Dazhuang’s innate divine power. "What’s wrong, President Chu?" Everyone could tell from Chu Qingxue’s expression that something had happened. After learning everything, the employees of Chu Corporation also became anxious and started searching for Dong Zheng, but couldn’t find him through any channels. "There are only twenty minutes left until the bidding meeting begins!" Qiu Muran said, her voice filled with despair. "Let me try myself? Muran, help me!" In the final moments, Chu Qingxue still chose not to give up and decided to proceed based on memory herself. "What’s wrong, President Chu? Is there a problem? Do you need my help?" Jiang Qi came out, looking concernedly at Chu Qingxue. Kicking someone when they’re down! Chu Qingxue forcefully suppressed the rage in her heart and replied coldly with a sneer, "I can handle the internal affairs of the company by myself, there’s no need for President Jiang’s grand entrance. Perhaps you should focus more on your ’Thirty-Six Stratagems’!" "Thirty-Six Stratagems? President Chu truly has a sense of humor!" Jiang Qi laughed, smart as he was, he could clearly discern the implied meaning in Chu Qingxue’s words. Chu Qingxue using the Thirty-Six Stratagems was essentially accusing him of being despicable, shameless, and unscrupulous. "Ring, ring, ring..." At that moment, Chu Qingxue’s phone suddenly rang, its tone crisp and clear. When Chu Qingxue took out her phone and saw the saved name, her eyes lit up fiercely, and her face broke into an unprecedented expression of ecstatic joy as she immediately answered the call. Meanwhile, Jiang Qi’s mouth curled into a sinister smile at the side. "Dong Zheng, where are you?" Chu Qingxue asked anxiously. "President Chu, I... I don’t know why I’m at the company, I woke up here, but I was just at the Thousand Lakes District bidding site, why?..." Listening to Dong Zheng’s confused words on the other end, Chu Qingxue’s heart sank. The surrounding employees of Chu Corporation were also holding their breaths, staring wide-eyed at Chu Qingxue. "President Chu, I’ll come right away! Please wait for me!" Dong Zheng’s final words went unheard by Chu Qingxue, who simply said, "You better not come back!" Even if a car drove extraordinarily fast from Chu Corporation to Thousand Lakes District, it would still take three hours, and the bidding meeting was starting in just twenty minutes. It was an absolute impossibility! "Congratulations in advance, President Jiang!" Chu Qingxue said, laden with sarcasm. Jiang Qi laughed, "You are too kind, President Chu. Chu Corporation is still a strong competitor in the bidding meeting!" At that moment, one person quietly disappeared from the scene—it was Ye Chenfeng. ... "Ye Chenfeng, what do you want from me?" Chen Xijun never expected that Ye Chenfeng, who had always been avoiding her, would seek her out. "Officer Chen, I need your help now!" Ye Chenfeng said, each word deliberate. "Help with what?" Chen Xijun looked at Ye Chenfeng in surprise.NovelFire "I need to use your police communications vehicle!" Ye Chenfeng disclosed his request. "Is it urgent?" Chen Xijun asked, her eyes wide. Ye Chenfeng nodded, "It’s extremely urgent!" "Alright, it’s done immediately!" With Chen Xijun’s command, Ye Chenfeng smoothly made his way to the communications vehicle. However, Chen Xijun followed him up, as that was her condition, since in case Ye Chenfeng did anything not in her favor, she could intervene right away.
