My stunning iceberg CEO wife

Chapter 167: Chapter 166 Shocked Liu Yuxi

”””

Qingcheng International, inside the CEO’s office where Liu Yuxi was sitting. However, at this moment, Liu Yuxi’s face was extremely grim. Due to the concerted pressure from various forces, Qingcheng International was riddled with issues and severely lacking in liquid capital. If Qingcheng International couldn’t overcome this obstacle, it would soon face the danger of going bankrupt.

”I’m out of money,” Liu Yuxi said helplessly, her gaze drifting towards the window, at a loss for what to do.

Yet, Liu Yuxi thought of what Mu Chen had said – the Hell Key could be exchanged for a large sum of money. Subconsciously she touched the Hell Key around her neck, her eyes filled with confusion as she unwittingly muttered, ”Could this scoundrel be deceiving me? But it doesn’t seem like something he would lie about. Ah, why am I even thinking about that scoundrel’s offhand remark?”

At this point, Liu Yuxi was extremely frustrated, particularly because of Mu Chen, the man who sometimes gave her hope and at other times filled her with despair.

”Forget it. For the company’s sake, if that scoundrel is lying, I definitely won’t let him off the hook,” Liu Yuxi spoke and then immediately left the CEO’s office.

Soon after, Liu Yuxi drove directly to the Heller Bank and went inside.

Heller Bank was quite empty, with very few people coming and going, but it looked beautiful with a well-decorated interior.

However, as soon as Liu Yuxi entered, her expression changed. Holding the Hell Key in her hand, she didn’t know what to do next. Could she just approach someone and ask if the key could be exchanged for money? If they refused, wouldn’t she look like a fool? Thinking of her status as the CEO of Qingcheng International, the idea of losing face and being taken for a fool felt like a huge loss. Her heart was torn with internal conflict.

Yet unbeknownst to Liu Yuxi, her stunning beauty had already caught everyone’s attention. Indeed, she was so gorgeous that even women couldn’t help but take a few extra looks, filled with envy.

”Miss, is there anything I can assist you with?” At that moment, a male employee approached Liu Yuxi and asked with a smile, very politely.

”I’m here to withdraw money,” Liu Yuxi said unavoidably.

”Withdrawing money? Please come this way, miss, I’ll take care of it for you.”

”But I only have this,” Liu Yuxi said somewhat hesitantly, producing the Hell Key.

”This?” The male employee scrutinized the Hell Key in the beautiful hand of Liu Yuxi with curiosity. ”This looks very peculiar, it must be no simple thing,” he remarked lightly.

”Does that mean I can’t exchange it for money?” Liu Yuxi’s face changed instantly as she spoke, quite embarrassed, the thought of dying from mortification crossed her mind, but at least she took some consolation in the fact that only one employee knew.

”I might be unaware of some special matters. Let our manager take a look; he’s a foreigner and very knowledgeable. He should be able to help,” the male employee suggested.

”I think it’s better not to bother; it probably can’t be exchanged for money,” Liu Yuxi said reluctantly, about to leave.

”No problem, I will be right back,” the employee assured and quickly grabbed the Hell Key to go inside.

Feeling helpless, Liu Yuxi didn’t know what to do and could only stand there blankly.

Quickly, the male employee found a middle-aged man with a beard, also a foreigner.

”Manager Charlie, a beautiful woman outside said this thing can be exchanged for money,” the male employee handed over the Hell Key to the middle-aged man.

”Is this the Black Key?” Charlie examined it closely.

”Is this the Hell Key?” Charlie’s eyes suddenly widened with shock, nearly jumping in surprise.

The male employee’s face changed; he didn’t understand why this mysterious and respectful manager would have such a big reaction. It all felt like a dream.

”How is this possible? This is that person’s possession, unique in this world, something that represents absolute power, and it appears here, this is utterly incredible!” Charlie said again with shock.

”Manager, is there something special about this object?” the male employee couldn’t contain his curiosity.

But Charlie didn’t respond to the male employee, immediately turning on his computer instead. He had to verify for himself; he needed to see it clearly to believe it. After all, he couldn’t believe that this object would come so easily from that person.

”Wait for me outside, I’ll come out shortly,” Charlie instructed the male_employee, just as he was about to open something on his computer.

”Yes, manager.”

As the male employee left, Charlie quickly typed a sequence of secrets and opened a file. As the file opened, various patterns appeared, but the last one showed a black key, identical to the Hell Key, with the exact same designs and lines, no difference whatsoever.

”It’s real, it really is the Hell Key, this is unbelievable, it’s miraculous.”

”No, who brought this in, I must go out and see right away,” Charlie said, excitedly heading outside.

”Manager, how did it go?” As Charlie appeared, the male employee quickly inquired.

”Where is the person who had this key now?” Charlie asked, his voice tremulous with excitement.

”She’s waiting outside.”

”Take me to her immediately.”

”Yes, manager.”

Following that, the two of them went to Liu Yuxi. As soon as Charlie faced Liu Yuxi, he asked respectfully, ”May I know if you are the owner of this key?”

”Yes,” Liu Yuxi felt it was strange, but affirmed seriously.

”May I ask who gave it to you?”

”Um... my husband gave it to me,” Liu Yuxi responded sincerely.

”Your husband, is his name Mu Chen by any chance?”

”How do you know?”

”Then there’s no mistake, absolutely no mistake,” Charlie was immensely excited and behaved even more respectfully.

”May I ask what’s the matter, is there a problem with this Hell Key?” Liu Yuxi inquired curiously.

”This is not the place to talk. Please come with me so we can discuss this privately.”

”Alright then!” Liu Yuxi felt that Charlie wasn’t a bad person and agreed.

Subsequently, the two of them went into an office belonging to Charlie. As soon as they entered, Charlie immediately kneeled halfway and addressed Liu Yuxi with great respect, ”I pay my respects to the Queen.”

”What are you doing?” Liu Yuxi’s face was filled with shock.

”You are the King’s woman, naturally you are our Queen.”

”The King? Who, Mu Chen?”

”Yes.”

”The King? What does he do?”

”The King didn’t tell you?”

”Mu Chen didn’t tell me. I only knew he said this key could be exchanged for money, so I came to try.”
