With comparatively long hair dined with fashion gray, he has a very straight nose and brooding eyes. He is the little demon that I met in the horse ranch – Jiannan Lyu.
His skin used to be porcelain white, a kind of color that only mixed-blood owns. But his whole face is now full of bruises of purple.
He attempted to get up off the ground to head to my car, but soon fell down again.
He looked terrible.
I saw him waving to me and mumbled with two words from his mouth, “Help me!”
Feeling a bit terrified, I was considering whether to leave him alone.
He is a bad guy who is also an enemy to Leon. Should I call an ambulance for him?
As I was thinking about this, I noticed that he was nearly dying. If I didn’t help him, he would have definitely died.
If he died because I didn’t offer aid at once, I would feel guilty forever, after all he was a life.
Then he got up again, and with a sudden burst of force, he rushed toward my car and leaned over my reflector, only to fall over again. He looked gravely weak.
Still, I couldn’t stand a life disappearing at my sight. Although he was not good, it was hard for me to see him die in front of me.
Opening the door, I got out of the car to find Jiannan lying beside my car. He wasn’t dead, but he looked miserable. “Help me…” murmured he, trembling.
“What’s wrong with you?”
“I… was poisoned… by someone.” mumbled he, painstakingly.
“I’m now calling you an ambulance. Please hold on for seconds.”
“There is no need. Please send…”
Having not finished his words, he felt it even difficult to extrude more words from his mouth.
I understood what he meant that, it would be too late to save him after the ambulance had arrived. We were in the suburb area, and it would certainly cost a long time for an ambulance to come here.
Without no better means, I had to open the door and help him into my car.
Painful though he was, with my help, he successfully crawled onto my back seat.
I started up the car as fast as I could and drove directly to the nearest hospital.
When we got to the hospital, he had already fainted.
The doctor began to rescue him quickly.
While he was in rescue, I just remembered that I should have told that to Leon, but after several second’s deliberation, I gave up the idea. He must have blamed me for I had saved his enemy. Besides, what happened tonight was too coincident, and I’ve done all I could do. As to Jiannan, whether he could survive depended on the God’s will.
Thus, I secretly slipped away from the hospital and drove back to Mapple Villa.
When I got home, Leon had come back already. After a quick wash, he got out and asked me about my trip in Lanhai Technology(company).
“How’s your trip in Lanhai Technology(company)?”
“Seen from the surface, it is still in operation and wasn’t slipping into impoverishment, for there are working staff working overtime.”
“So, at what price, do you think, can we acquire Feng Shen’s stocks? And how soon can it be accomplished?”
“I’m afraid that will be too much difficult. Feng was the cooperator of Yan Chen, a relative to Mu Chen, and it was said that Mu Chen was an angle investor the time Lanhai Technology was established. So, for Mu Chen, the company was brought up by him. Even if it were about to sell one day, it would be sold to him.”
“Why is Mu Chen everywhere? It must have been him that told you to persuade me not to compete with him, isn’t it?” said Leon, frowning.
“Yes,” I admitted honestly.
“So, how did you reply?” asked Leon, coldly.
Considering he was not in good mood, I thought I needed to answer this question carefully. Otherwise, there might be a family conflict thereof.
“I told him that Leon would never throw in the towel. It isn’t a matter of quit. You can compete with each other fairly. Whoever wins the competition will win the acquisition of the company”
After I finished speaking, I found his face brighten a little. “That’s what you told him?”
“Of course, this is what I told him. But…”
“But what?”
“I have kept thinking these days that what if we obtained Feng Shen’s stocks and handled Yan Chen? What’s the point of us buying the Lanhai Technology if Yan Chen left the company supported by Mu Chen? Talents are the core competitive value in such company, and its total value will be deducted seriously with its team leaving.”
“What you said is obviously true. It is pretty good for you to think at such a high level. So, we need to buy not only the company but also the main team, so that we can guarantee its value.” said Leon with appreciation.
“It’s too hard. If Mu Chen is the angel investor, he will be the one received gratitude from Yan Chen for being well understood and treated. Moreover, they are relatives. It’s almost impossible for him to betray Mu Chen to turn to us.”
“I know it’s hard, but it’s also interesting. If it weren’t so hard, Chenxing would have done it before us. There must be a way out as long as we insist to it.”
“Inspiring words can be told by anyone, but it’s still hard to take actions. I’m afraid your elder brother would deem we overestimated our strength once we get failed.”
“But if you succeed in doing this, you can earn your face, and everyone in the company will therefore think highly of you. In a nutshell, you must manage to achieve it. if done perfectly, we can share the benefits, once screwing up, you will be fully responsible for that and you have to confess your fault to the board of directions.”
“I admire you so much. You are so clever that you have come up with such a “satisfactory” solution,” I mocked at him.
“Don’t be so modesty. We are the same,” said he without any anger.
I snorted in disgust.
“Are you covering anything from me for you behaved unnaturally tonight?” asked him suddenly.
To be honest, I was thinking about Jiannan and how to tell him the truth. But I didn’t expect he would see through me.
“You are so smart. How about you telling me what I’m considering?”
“You were confessed by Feng Shen, weren’t you? Did you refuse him or leave him ambiguous?”
I was completely speechless by his infinite imagination.
“It was a joke that he expressed love to me. And it’s all over now. How could he love me?”
“Well. What’s that all about? I don’t know what it is but I know it is a big deal. Hurry to tell me.”
