Chapter 45 Worry
The car finally stopped in front of the banquet hall. Chen Manting suppressed the emotions on her face, said thank you softly and got out of the car.

The Rolls-Royce drove away as fast as the wind, without any reluctance.

Chen Manting looked at the car going away, and the expression on her face had already become an undisguised determination to win!

She, Chen Manting, is going to marry the most powerful man in Longcheng. Even if Xi Leng is really cold-hearted, she has the means to get him!

After Xi Leng returned to the company, he immediately got into work mode. His bad mood was visible to the naked eye. Even He Chengdu stayed away from him, fearing that he would be swept by the tail of the typhoon and lose his money.

However, no one expected that half an hour later, the topic #Xi's chaebol president and a beautiful woman riding in a car together# became a hot search, and even the hot search for Liruan was suppressed below it.

Anyone with a discerning eye can tell that someone is buying the hot search, and some may even suspect that the person who bought the hot search is Chen Manting herself.

The director of the public relations department came to the president's office with a bitter face. After all, after what happened last time, he dared not take it lightly again. Even if the president was unhappy, he had to report what he should report.

"Boss, we want to remove this trending search and sue the marketing account that leaked the information. Do you think this is a good way to deal with it?"

Xi Leng looked at the photos on the hot search with cold eyes. Obviously, the other party started taking pictures from outside the hotel box, but the only people who knew that he went there to eat were his biological mother and Chen Manting.

Chen Manting wouldn’t be that stupid, so this must have been arranged by her mother.

"Just ask someone to take down the trending search."

He wanted to turn off the screen of his phone, but a familiar name appeared in another entry. His face changed and he quickly searched for news about Li Ruan. When he saw her falling from a height of several meters, he felt his heart tighten. He called He Cheng on the internal line and said, "Book a flight immediately!"

I wanted to suppress my anger, but I couldn't help it. "You didn't know that something serious happened to her?"

He Cheng stepped forward with the president's dark face to explain, "I was busy with the planning case at Tiancheng in the morning, and I was working overtime at noon. When I noticed the trending search, Miss Li posted a Weibo herself, saying that she was fine, and you were not in the company at that time, so I didn't disturb you."

When President Xi and Ms. Wen were together, he never dared to disturb them, as that would make the president even more unhappy!
Xi Leng had already walked out quickly, "There won't be a next time."

He Cheng knew that the president was really angry and that this matter was indeed his fault. "I understand."

I quickly checked the booking information online. "The fastest flight is at 3:30, and it will take off in an hour and a half, but there are only economy class seats."

"Book the tickets and prepare the car."

……

In the old house of the Xi family, Wen Rong was happy when she saw the photo of her son and his best friend's daughter on the hot search. She knew that her eldest son didn't want her to interfere in his marriage, but she would not allow him to be with a woman who came out of nowhere.

Especially since that woman dared to let her son go to work with lipstick marks on his face. It was so unruly and extremely embarrassing.

Even if Xi Leng resists, or even if he may not be with Man Ting, it doesn’t matter. She is just a woman, and he will give up sooner or later.

The woman was just a little-known actress. She must have seen this trending search and must have had a quarrel with her son, but after a while, they finally broke up.

……

All the crew members were investigated. Director Ming stayed at the police station for nearly three hours before returning. The props Lao Zhao was arrested. Someone gave him two million yuan to cut off Li Ruan's wire in order to kill her, but he didn't know who that person was. The other party contacted him via a space number and paid half of the deposit. The police were still investigating the source of the money. The police leaders were not having a good time either. From the time the incident happened until two o'clock in the afternoon, they had received two calls, one from the director of the public relations department of Xingyao Company and the other from the president of the Xi family chaebol, all demanding that the murderer must be found.

To be honest, Xingyao is a purely official organization. If something happens to their own artists, they will definitely show some concern. This is normal, otherwise it would seem inhumane.

But it’s different for Xi, the head of the country’s largest chaebol. Who can tell him how a small 18th-tier artist can have such strong connections?
However, the clues ended with Lao Zhao, and it was really difficult to investigate further.

……

Liruan still saw the trending search about Xi Leng riding in a car with a beautiful woman. To be honest, she didn't feel anything and just forgot about it after seeing it. Some people from the crew came to see her, including the two leading actors, who asked their assistants to bring her a fruit basket. They put down their things and left as they were afraid of disturbing her rest. After all, she had to take care of the concussion.

When it was almost dark, Luo Jiaxing arrived, brought in by Qiangzi. Of course, he had informed Liruan in advance.

This guy was beaten so badly that day that his face was swollen like a pig's head. Li Ruan didn't pay attention to his appearance, but when she saw him today, she exclaimed in her heart, what a guy!
The man in front of him looked to be no more than twenty-three or twenty-four years old. He had shaved his original beard cleanly, and there was no trace of his previous slovenliness. His skin was quite fair, especially his pair of smiling fox eyes. One could tell at a glance that he was very cunning!

This is so different from how he looked when I first saw him!

Qiangzi: "Boss, sit down. This is the first time I see you wearing a suit. I didn't expect you to be so handsome. I never noticed it before!"

Luo Jiaxing's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously looked at Li Ruan, and found that she was sitting on the bedside, smiling at him. His heart immediately began to beat, "Of course you have to be serious when you come to see a patient, Miss Li, don't listen to his nonsense."

Li Ruan smiled and said, "You were much more casual on the phone than you are now. Don't call me Miss Li, just call me by my name."

Luo Jiaxing thought to himself: Today is their first official meeting, how can it be the same?

"Okay, then I'll call you by your name.

How are you feeling?

Li Ruan: "Look at me now, do I look like I'm in trouble?"

Luo Jiaxing's tone became relaxed, "That's good, but you still owe me a meal. If something really happens, I will be at a loss."

Liruan knew he was joking and glared at him unhappily, "I saved your life after all, but when I got into trouble you only remember that meal?"

"Tsk~ I would like to repay you for saving my life with my body, but I'm afraid you won't accept it."

Qiangzi: Oh wow, the boss has started to play straight ball. This is really rare to see in a thousand years!

"Sister Ruan, you might as well accept my boss. Really, with our boss's handsome face, you will definitely not suffer any loss!"

Luo Jiaxing secretly glared at Qiangzi. He clearly had a lot of advantages, but when it came to Qiangzi, all he had left was a face!
"Don't listen to him."

Qiangzi quickly made a zippering motion. Is it okay if he doesn't say anything? Then he looked at Li Ruan eagerly.
