The Master and His Wealthy Fiancée

Those few short words froze Liu Qi in place. His feet felt rooted to the spot, unable to take another step.

Liu Qi struggled to control his emotions and asked slowly, ”Are you telling the truth?”

”I haven’t verified it, so I don’t know if it’s true or false,” Chen Dong answered frankly.

”Where did the information come from?” Liu Qi asked again.

”Someone by the name of Huang sent it to me.”

At these words, Liu Qi’s pupils shrank to pinpoints.

Before Liu Qi could ask another question, a knock sounded on the door.

Li Huiran’s secretary, Xiaoyu, strode in. Liu Qi didn’t press the matter and took the opportunity to leave.

Once the guest was gone, Xiaoyu spoke directly, ”Chairman, General Manager, the chairman of the Tianjiang An Group is visiting. He’s already in the lobby on the first floor.”

Li Jianwen and Li Huiran exchanged a look of surprise. They had clearly had a falling out with the An Group. Li Huiran had even reported it to Li Jianwen on her phone—if she hadn’t, he wouldn’t have invited Liu Qi over.

’But the negotiations had already collapsed, so what was the An Clan doing here now?’

Still, since he had come—and as the head of a leading enterprise in the city, no less—they had to show him the proper respect. Li Jianwen immediately led the group downstairs to greet them.

In the first-floor lobby of Li’s Company, An Zhengping waited anxiously with An Ruoling in her wheelchair, An Qiu, and several bodyguards. Beside them lay a human-shaped object wrapped in a bedsheet, a bloody and mangled mess.

A few minutes later, Li Jianwen came striding over with a group of people, a smile on his face.

”Mr. An, hello! A pleasure to finally meet you. I’m Li Jianwen, chairman of the Li Group.” Li Jianwen extended his right hand warmly.

An Zhengping excitedly grasped his hand with both of his own. ”Hello, hello! I have come today to show you the sincerity of the An Clan!”

He pointed to the figure on the floor. ”The An Clan was in the wrong before. This is just a small token of our apology.”

A bodyguard stepped forward and lifted a corner of the sheet, revealing a twisted, blood-covered face. Though unconscious, the man was vaguely recognizable as An Junxian.

Everyone from the Li Group was stunned. ’Who on earth offers an apology like this?’

Only Li Huiran covered her mouth, shaken. Just two hours ago, this man had been threatening her, and now he was reduced to this.

Under the astonished gazes of everyone present, An Zhengping clapped his hands twice.

A bodyguard brought forward an exquisite wooden box and slowly opened it. Instantly, a pearlescent light filled the lobby. Inside was a set of jewelry made from the finest natural jadeite—earrings, a necklace, a ring, and a bracelet. They were clearly all carved from the same raw stone. Any single piece would have been a treasure, but as a complete set, it was priceless.

An Zhengping pointed to the jewelry. ”The An Clan was careless and caused a small offense to your General Manager Li. This is a personal apology for her.”

Everyone from the Li Group was dumbfounded. A priceless set of jadeite jewelry as an apology? They couldn’t help but wonder what kind of offense could possibly warrant such a gesture, wishing they could be on the receiving end of a similar ”offense” themselves.

Their gazes toward Li Huiran were filled with envy and jealousy.

Li Jianwen’s mind was reeling, and he was at a loss for words. While he knew what had happened with the An Clan, he couldn’t imagine what the Li Group had done to deserve such a grand apology.

Before anyone could fully process this, An Zhengping cleared his throat and announced solemnly, ”On behalf of the An Group, I, as its chairman, promise the Li Group that we will supply you with all your building materials at cost! We will not make a single cent of profit!”

His words landed like a bombshell, making the ears of everyone from the Li Group ring.

The Li Group’s most critical shortage was building materials, and now the An Clan was offering to supply them without making a single cent.

My God!

This was tantamount to the entire An Group working for them for free! For a small amount of materials, it might not matter much, but for large quantities, the value would be astronomical!

At that moment, in front of everyone, Li Jianwen’s eyes welled up, and tears streamed down his face.

He was completely overwhelmed by An Zhengping’s gesture. Wiping his tears, he pulled An Zhengping into a tight hug. ”Brother An, the Li Group will be forever indebted to you for this. We will never forget it.”

In stark contrast to the emotional Li Jianwen, An Zhengping was wracked with anxiety, terrified that Divine Doctor Chen would still find the An Clan’s apology lacking in sincerity.

Just as An Zhengping was about to cautiously ask for Chen Dong’s opinion, An Ruoling spoke. ”Dad, that’s enough. I’ve received the message.”

Hearing this, An Zhengping clenched his fists tightly.

While the crowd was still buzzing with excitement, Chen Dong had already slipped away and made his way to a coffee shop near the Li Group headquarters.

Sitting across from Chen Dong was none other than Liu Qi, the king of construction materials.

Liu Qi spoke with great difficulty. ”Please, I’m begging you, tell me about my son.”

Chen Dong replied calmly, ”Frankly, I don’t want to tell you. This information will push you past the point of no return. There are people pulling strings in the background, wanting to use you as a pawn.”

Liu Qi gave a bitter laugh. ”I was already a pawn when I went against the Li Group. As long as I can find my son, I’m not afraid of what fresh Hell awaits!”

Chen Dong chuckled. ”Alright, then. Chalk this up as a small victory for the man named Huang.”

Then he stated simply, ”The Sun Family’s private hospital. The drug testing facility.” With that, he stood up and left.

He left Liu Qi frozen in place, a look of pure horror on his face, unable to recover for a long time.
