A few minutes later, Xu Lie turned and hurried back to the ward.
“Xiao Lie, those two people just now looked a bit scary. What do they want?”
“Is it related to Chonglou?”
Zheng Xiumei, holding a water cup, was leaning against the headboard, her hands trembling slightly.
Her eyes were filled with fear.
Although her godson Xu Lie’s actions had surprised her, after spending time together, she knew that Xu Lie was arranged by her son to protect him. She didn't know what her son was doing, but she had a hunch that his activities were very dangerous.
She didn’t ask many questions, but it was impossible not to worry.
“They probably came to visit a patient and found the wrong room.”
“Chonglou is fine. He’s been busy for the past two days and went out of town. He’ll be back in a few days.”
“Godmother, as long as I’m here, don’t worry.”
Xu Lie tried his best to comfort Zheng Xiumei. As someone who only knew how to fight, comforting people was quite clumsy. After a few brief sentences, he fell silent.
He couldn’t help but feel anxious. It seemed that Li Chonglou must have run into some trouble.
At this moment, his top priority was to stay by his godmother’s side, guarding her at all times.
Zheng Xiumei quietly glanced at Xu Lie, knowing she wouldn’t get any answers by asking more.
She knew even better that Xu Lie was deliberately saying that to comfort her.
Those two men looked fierce; they didn’t seem like good people, and they had already mentioned her son’s name.
She was just an ordinary woman and couldn't help her son. She could only pray to heaven to keep her son safe.
She murmured silently, saying nothing further.
Meanwhile, at the Desheng Hotel.
The lobby was bustling with people.
Wang Jingwu stood in the hotel lobby, one hand on his hip, the other directing the hotel staff.
“You two, clear out all that stuff over there and put it in the storage room first.”
“You guys, go and change this sign at the entrance.”
“Hurry, hurry, move it, and be quick about it.”
After giving instructions, Wang Jingwu lit a cigarette and took a deep drag, even exhaling a smoke ring.
His face was flushed with joy, and the triumphant look in his eyes was unconcealed.
Thinking about the recent events, he couldn’t help but feel elated.
He even tapped his foot rhythmically on the ground.
Two days ago, a man with glasses came to the hotel, introducing himself as Mr. Wang.
He said that as long as he followed his requirements, he could transfer the Desheng Hotel into his name.
This Mr. Wang’s requirements were very simple: he was openly told that he wanted to cause trouble for Li Chonglou.
Now all the procedures were completed, and the speed of the process was astonishing.
It was enough to show that Mr. Wang’s connections and methods were extraordinary.
Although he was a little curious about Mr. Wang’s background, it didn’t matter.
Whoever he was, as long as it benefited him and allowed him to deal with Li Chonglou, that was enough.
He had wanted to get revenge on Li Chonglou for a long time, but he lacked the ability.
He had tolerated him for so long.
He had long wanted to vent the anger he had suffered from him before.
A son-in-law, actually climbing over him and acting imperiously.
Now, it was truly heaven’s will. Let’s see how Li Chonglou dies this time!
Now, everything here belonged to him.
As for Wang Dehai, he hadn’t seen him for several days, and his phone was unreachable.
When he returns, it will be a fait accompli. What can he do?
Wang Jingwu’s lips curved upwards, he shook his head, snorted through his nostrils, threw the cigarette butt under his feet, and stomped on it forcefully.
During the short half-month Li Chonglou was under house arrest, all related matters in Qin Prefecture had changed.
Jiang Yuxin, with her brows furrowed, was contemplating a stack of documents on her desk.
Supplier cut-offs occasionally happened, but this time, it was all suppliers stopping supply, as if they had agreed beforehand. Even when she approached new suppliers temporarily, she was rejected with various excuses.
Not only was the cooperation project with Lu’s Group forced to pause, but Lu’s Group itself also encountered problems in various aspects.
Material quality issues, worker strikes, project progress problems, site fire safety, security, noise, capital recovery, turnover, etc. In an instant, all problems surged like a tidal wave, sweeping over Jiang’s Group and Lu’s Group.
This forced the company to suspend all operations and focus entirely on dealing with the various issues.
Although the situation was now a mess, Jiang Yuxin remained calm and composed, carefully analyzing the cause of all these events.
It was very obvious that a powerful force was manipulating all these matters from behind the scenes.
She just didn’t understand what force it was and why it was targeting Jiang’s Group and Lu’s Group.
Jiang Yuxin’s usually beautiful face was now noticeably haggard.
What’s more, in this situation, the people in the family, who had already begun to stabilize, started to stir again.
Subconsciously, Jiang Yuxin picked up the phone again and redialed Li Chonglou’s number, but it was still busy.
Since Li Chonglou left on her birthday, she hadn’t been able to contact him. Jiang Yuxin’s emotional state had shifted from initial anger to a hint of worry.
At this moment, Li Chonglou was sitting cross-legged in meditation in a room at the Yong’an golf course.
Since entering this place, after multiple attempts to investigate, he still couldn’t find any way to leave this room.
Li Chonglou was unaware of the events happening in Qin Prefecture.
He could only keep himself calm and careful at all times.
After investigating all possibilities, he continued to cultivate the breathing technique from the sheepskin scroll to strengthen his physique.
A small cycle of circulating qi and adjusting his breath had ended. The qi in his dantian was now flowing throughout his body.
He clearly felt that his cultivation had progressed significantly during this period, but he was still a distance away from reaching the second level of the Shengu realm.
Li Chonglou slowly exhaled a breath.
As he opened his eyes and was about to get up, Li Duo’er, the little devil, ran over like a gust of wind.
“Big brother, play with me. I’m so bored.”
Li Duo’er whimpered coquettishly, wrapping her arms around Li Chonglou’s arm. She showed no shyness and even winked at Li Chonglou.
She looked like she was trying to seduce him, but it wasn’t quite successful, making her look rather comical.
“Let go quickly.”
Seeing her comical appearance, Li Chonglou pursed his lips, wanting to laugh but holding back.
He put on a stern face and raised his arm to break free.
Just then, the door opened, and someone was pushed in and then quickly closed.
He heard a low shout from outside the door: “Get in there!”
The young man who was pushed in stumbled to steady himself, patting the dust off his clothes while cursing, “What’s with the attitude? Do you know who I am? Treating me like this, you’ll regret it sooner or later.”
After speaking, he looked around and immediately spotted Li Duo’er and Li Chonglou.
“Duo’er? I see you again. Why are you here too?”
“I’m so happy to see you.”
The young man’s eyes brightened instantly, a smile appearing on his face as he walked directly towards them.
“You, what are you doing?”
