living room.

As soon as Li Ming came in, he saw Ming Bella sitting upright.

After not seeing her for a long time, she still looks the same.

He has deep facial features, thick eyebrows and big eyes. His face is tall and three-dimensional like that of a European or American. His skin is fair and his facial contours are soft.

Compared to the first time we met, her skin was much whiter.

She was wearing a white casual suit, with an emerald pendant hanging on her chest and her slightly curly hair draped over her shoulders.

Zhang Xuan sat opposite her, making tea without saying a word.

Hearing the footsteps, they both turned around at the same time.

Then Li Ming walked in.

"Mr. Li."

Zhang Xuan stood up and greeted with a smile.

Simultaneously.

Ming Bella also looked up at Li Ming without saying a word, still sitting upright.

Li Ming nodded to Henry Zhang and said, "I'll talk to her, you go down and have a rest."

Zhang Xuan didn't say much. After nodding, he left and closed the door behind him.

"Haha, you really are worthy of being the new noble of Jiangcheng. It's really not easy to meet you.

I arrived at the gate of your manor during the day, but you didn't invite me.

In the evening, I shamelessly came here by myself, hoping to get a free meal, but I ended up drinking tea instead of eating. ”

Ming Bella glanced at the full cup of herbal tea on the table, and no emotion could be heard in her words.

Li Ming picked up the clean cup and poured himself a glass.

Then, he smiled and said, “We just moved in, so there’s not much of a smoky atmosphere yet.

I wonder what brings you here today, Miss Ming?"

Li Ming was too lazy to beat around the bush with her and asked straight to the point.

Ming Bella frowned slightly, her blue eyes fixed on Li Ming, and she said softly, "It's been a long time since I last saw my old friend, so I came here specially to see you."

Li Ming didn't say anything, just picked up the teacup and started drinking.

The two fell into silence.

friend?

Not really!
Li Ming drank the tea in the cup and said with a smile: "I am honored to have the attention of the daughter of the Ming family. Now that you have met her and drank the tea, please speak quickly if you have anything to say."

Ming Bella said: "Haha, you are still as anxious as ever."

Say it.

She lowered her eyes and said calmly: "Before the Li family became the overlord of Jiangcheng, our Ming family started out as an investor.

I like to invest in companies with great potential, and I am very optimistic about your company.

Li Ming, your company's total assets are currently 3 million. Although it is not a small amount, it is just a drop in the bucket compared to a number of listed companies.

I also know that what you have been doing requires a lot of money to maintain.

You have just started a company and may not know how much money is needed to maintain the normal operation of a company.

Especially companies with large R&D investments are money-eating beasts.

I'm willing to pay you whatever amount of money you need now.

Of course, the price is that you sell part of your shares to me.

How about I give a 10% higher market valuation?"

Ming Bella finished speaking, with a hint of anticipation in her blue eyes, her gaze always fixed on Li Ming.

Li Ming looked at her doubtfully and said, "Give me financing for my company? Are you sure?"

Ming Bella nodded and said, "Of course."

Li Ming really couldn't understand it, because the company he founded had absolutely no value in the eyes of all investors.

Even Aunt Zhao thinks so. The reason why people around her are willing to follow him is mostly because they have a friendship with him.

The rest of the people were attracted by money.

Even he himself doesn't know how much it will cost to produce results from his research on brain-computer interfaces and neuromedicine.

He also did not have absolute confidence.

Ming Bella actually chose to believe it, and was willing to pay a high price? This was indeed something he had not expected.

Li Ming asked with great interest: "So how much money do you plan to pay and how much share do you want to own?"

Seeing that Li Ming did not refuse, Ming Bella narrowed her eyes and said, "I have estimated the investment amount for a 49% stake. Originally, 3 million US dollars would be enough, but I am willing to give you 5 million US dollars."

The words fell.

Li Ming smiled, poured another cup of tea, looked up and asked, "Anything else?"

He himself knew very well that his company had not achieved any results and had no core competitiveness, so it was not wrong to say that it was worthless.

Ming Bella definitely has other purposes.

As expected, she looked at Li Ming in surprise, and said with admiration: "If you join the Ming family, whether your company is profitable or not, we in the Ming family will cover you.

Also, we will protect your father for life and provide him with the world's top medical team. How about that?"

Li Ming looked strange, knowing Bella's thoughts were indeed different from those of ordinary people.

She actually wanted me to join the Ming family?
If it was just a matter of investing money, Li Ming would definitely agree because he would have an extra partner to share the risk.

But what the hell is going on here, asking him to join the Ming family?

Li Ming said: "The Ming family is a well-known big family in Jiangcheng, controlling hundreds of billions of wealth.

You have everything you need, so why would you want me to join you?"

He did not refuse immediately, wanting to find out Bella's real purpose.

Ming Bella did not answer, but said with a firm look: "In addition to the 50 million, I will give you 10 million US dollars every year in the future."

Li Ming was silent.

Could it be that Ming Bella discovered something? This shouldn't be the case!
He shook his head and said, "You have to give me a reasonable reason, right? Otherwise, if you ask me to commit a crime, wouldn't that be harming me?"

Ming Bella said seriously: “Don’t worry, it’s definitely not the case.

If this happens, you can always withdraw, and this can be written into the contract. And it won’t harm you.”

Li Ming said: "If you don't say it, there's nothing to talk about."

After saying that, he stood up and was about to leave, not intending to pay any more attention.

"Wait, Li Ming, this plan is related to anti-aging of the human body.

To be honest, it will only do you good and no harm. That's all I can say. I can't tell you more.

If you want to know everything, then join us and you will know all the secrets. "

After hearing this, Li Ming slowly turned around and looked at Ming Bella without saying a word.

Anti-Aging?
The legends about the rich people immediately came to his mind.

Rumor has it that some wealthy people, those who are dying, have used various drugs and treatments to extend their lifespan by more than ten years.

A chaebol like the Ming family is actually researching this kind of drug!

No wonder he is so rich!

As long as they develop a special medicine or treatment that can extend life by two or three years, they can sell it at a sky-high price.

Ask yourself, you have no academic qualifications, you are not an expert, and you are not rich at all.

Why did the Ming family come to me to research anti-aging drugs?

It's nothing more than yourself, and the inhuman power you often display.

They also wanted to equip their father with a top medical team? Li Ming had reason to suspect that they wanted to use his father to coerce him, or they wanted to conduct research on him as well.

Although these are all speculations, Li Ming still felt a chill down his spine.

It seems that my worries are gradually becoming a reality.

Perhaps, from today on, no more terrifying power can be displayed.

In addition, you should also improve yourself quietly to meet unexpected needs.

At this moment, Li Ming's mind was full of fire and lightning, and he thought of many things. He turned back, and this time he did not stop, and left the reception room directly.

"I'm not interested. There are many rooms. If you don't want to go back, just pick one and sleep in it. Good night."

Li Mingren had disappeared at the door, but his voice could be heard in the distance.

Ming Bella opened her mouth, but was too late to call Li Ming.

"I was fooled by him." Ming Bella realized instantly that she was deceived by Li Ming.

Li Ming's real purpose was to trick people into confessing everything. Even if he revealed everything, he would not join the Ming family.

"It's really tricky. This makes him alert. What should I do?" Ming Bella frowned and whispered to herself.

Simultaneously.

After Li Ming left the living room, his expression turned cold.

"Mr. Li."

Zhang Xuan, who had been waiting outside for a long time, came forward. He saw that Li Ming looked unwell and stood respectfully.

Li Ming said: "Among the brothers now, is there anyone who has strong reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance capabilities, good skills, and actual combat experience?"

When Zhang Xuan heard this, his eyes lit up and he said, "Are you here to work? Yes! I count as one, and Ji Tian the bastard is also fine!"

Li Ming didn't care about Zhang Xuan's address to him, Ji Tian. He said, "You don't have to go together. Just let Ji Tian take the risk and tell him to keep a close eye on Ming Bella.

You should secretly investigate the Ming family's businesses, especially medical institutions related to medicine, beauty, and anti-aging."

As soon as these words came out.

Henry Zhang grinned, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes gathered together, his originally hunched back straightened a bit, and his whole temperament became sharper.

Zhang Xuan said: "Okay, I will report the progress to you every day, and contact you at any time if there is any abnormality."

Li Ming nodded and said, "Okay, remember, don't let your identity be exposed, and be careful about your safety."

After giving the order, Li Ming went straight to the underground gym.

The fundamental way is to make yourself strong!

Now wealth is just a tool for him.

If my dad wasn't in a vegetative state, he probably wouldn't have chosen the path of accumulating wealth.

When he arrived at the gym, Li Ming started training without saying a word.

There is only one goal tonight, which is to increase strength by 10 points, which is kilograms.

Now I have discovered that it is becoming increasingly difficult to increase my strength.

If you want to increase one point, you must be able to challenge your current physical limits before you can increase it.

His current strength is 460 kg, which means that he has to practice madly with 460 kg until his strength is exhausted before he has a chance to increase it.

Or, it can withstand weights of more than 460 kilograms for a period of time.

Only when you break through the limit will your power points increase.

This mode is no different from ordinary people's exercise. Both of them are about gaining strength after challenging the limits.

This is not as easy as imagined and it takes time to accumulate.

The only difference is that his strength will not decrease.

"Where's your boss? I have something to talk to him about."

In the villa, Ming Bella glanced at the magnificent living room and frowned slightly.

Henry Zhang stood by and said with a smile: "Mr. Li has already rested. If you have anything to do, come back tomorrow."

Ming Bella folded her arms across her chest and said calmly, "Rest? Haha, he just came in, why is he resting?

He just said that if I don't want to go back, I can stay in any room I want.

I won't make it difficult for you, just tell me which room is next to his."

Zhang Xuan was stunned.

Mr. Li's luck with women is really great. Even his enemy, Miss Mingtian, actually came up with this method to get close to him.

He shook his head and said, "We all just moved in. I don't know which room Young Master Li lives in."

Ming Bella glanced at Henry Zhang calmly and said, "You are Henry Zhang, right? Back then, your eldest brother Wei Zhen also cooperated with our family quite a bit.

We all know each other, there's no need to do this. Just tell me quietly, it won't affect anything.

Besides, haven’t you always been interested in the piece of land in the North District? You said that we can talk about this matter again. "

Hear the words.

The smile on Zhang Xuan's face completely froze, and his heart was in turmoil.

It seems that the daughter of the Ming family in front of him not only knows her own business very well, but also knows the details of everyone around Li Shao.

No wonder Li Ming asked them to keep an eye on her. Ming Bella is definitely not simple.

Henry Zhang smiled and said, “I suddenly don’t want that piece of land anymore.”

Ming Bella didn't say anything. She took a closer look at the computer, mobile phone, and a hairband on the table in front of the sofa.

She looked at the floor of the stairs again and found two pairs of footprints.

She said nothing, just chuckled and said, "I'm not interested anymore."

As she spoke, she walked straight towards the stairs, bag in hand.

Zhang Xuan's eyelids jumped, and he instantly discovered the rain-stained footprints of Li Ming and Yang Yu.

Second floor?

Not to mention the second floor, the entire villa is a forbidden area.

Wei Zhen has already said that strangers are not allowed to enter the villa.

No one you know is allowed to go up to the second floor without the consent of Li Ming and Zhao Huiya.

Even he, Wei Zhen, Ji Tian and others can't do it.

Swish!
Henry Zhang rushed to the stairs, stopped Ming Bella and said, “Miss Ming, this is Li’s Manor, not your Ming family.

If you go up there, you are trespassing. As the security guard here, I have the obligation to protect the safety of the owner."

Ming Bella heard this and said with a half-smile: "Security? Li Ming is really interesting, recruiting a bunch of former gang members to be security guards.

He said that I could live in whichever room I wanted and we would still be friends.

So, please let me..."

As she spoke, Ming Bella rushed to the left in one step. Zhang Xuan wanted to follow her but suddenly took a long step to the right.

He climbed the stairs in one step.

Henry Zhang wanted to rush forward, but his body stopped and did not move forward.

Ming Bella smiled and said, “Haha, as expected, I dare not come up.

Don't worry, I'm just staying here for one night. I won't do anything bad to your boss, let alone his girlfriend."

After saying that, Ming Bella didn't even turn around, picked up her bag, took off her hairband, and walked up to the second floor with her long legs and elegant steps.

"you……"

Henry Zhang's face was gloomy, and he stared at Ming Bella until she disappeared before he pressed the headphones.

"Jitian, the danger level of the Ming family has been raised to the highest level. If anything happens, you are not allowed to involve Young Master Li.

Also, have Pingtou and Jiumei sweep the area around the manor, and contact me immediately if you find anything unusual."

"Highest danger level? Haha, interesting."

In the headphones, Ji Tian's cold voice sounded, followed by the sound of whistling wind.

Henry Zhang frowned and said, "I was careless. Ming Bella has definitely practiced before, and she is also extremely smart and good at observation."

Villa, second floor.

Ming Bella followed the blurred footprints that she had not yet dealt with and came to the three suites.

She stood in the empty, brightly lit corridor and listened for a while with her eyes closed.

Then, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, and his deep blue eyes locked onto one of the suites.
