Chapter 1188 - 1192: Seo Fei Is His Weakness
Upstairs, Leng Zirui stood behind the Louvered Window, fingers lightly prying it open, watching Seo Fei surrounded by journalists. "Tang Ming, I want to see how long you can endure this!"
"Boss, are you sure this method will work?" Seo Shaochuan asked from behind him.
"Tang Ming is human, and all humans have weaknesses. Seo Fei is his Achilles’ heel!" Leng Zirui released the Louvered Window.
"So should we monitor her?" Seo Shaochuan asked.
Leng Zirui gently shook his head, "No, just ensure she doesn’t leave the country, don’t startle the snake."
He needed Tang Ming to understand Seo Fei’s predicament without making him too anxious. This balance Leng Zirui had to maintain to truly lure the snake out of its hole, rather than startle it.
Soon, all major media outlets were reporting on Seo Fei’s situation.
As the new head of the Seo Family and having been embroiled in scandals with Leng Zimo, Seo Fei, who Luo Xiaoqian had slapped, instantly became the center of worldwide attention.
Nobody knew the real reason she was being investigated; various rumors began circulating, causing already-doubtful Seo shareholders to lose even more confidence.
That night, when the United States stock market opened, Seo Family stocks plummeted like a free-falling glider, hitting the down-limit once again.
...
...
Hebei, a small town.
A tall man clad in black gently pushed open a small restaurant that was still open. The lady owner, watching television, saw a customer entering and immediately smiled, picking up a grease-stained menu. "What would you like?"
"A bowl of beef noodles." The man’s voice was somewhat hoarse.
"A bowl of beef noodles!" the lady owner shouted toward the kitchen, casually glancing over the man’s face. "You don’t seem to be from around here, do you?"
The man didn’t respond. Seeing his reluctance to talk, she pouted and returned to her seat to watch her movie.
The TV show was at an advertisement break. She muttered a sound of annoyance and changed the channel.
"...Due to the influence of Seo Fei’s incident, Seo Family stocks took a nosedive again last night..."
On TV, a business program was broadcasting news about Seo Fei.
She immediately changed the channel once more, having no interest in such dull news programs.
"Switch it back!"
From the corner, the man’s voice demanded with an undeniable authority.
The lady owner turned her face, only to see him looking up, revealing a refined and handsome face, watching the TV intently. Pouting, she switched back to the previous business news.
This man was Tang Ming, who had previously escaped the blockade of Leng Zirui and others.
At that moment, the TV program was showing footage of Seo Fei being taken out of a precinct. Watching Seo Fei surrounded by swarms of reporters, Tang Ming’s right arm, hanging at his side, clenched hard.
His excessive exertion caused the gunshot wound on his arm to reopen, fresh blood dripping down, leaving bright stains on the eatery’s white tiled floor.
The beef noodles were ready. The lady owner quickly got up, brought over the noodles, and saw the blood seeping from his arm. She was startled, almost dropping the noodles. "Your arm..."
Tang Ming calmly extended his still bleeding right hand, "Give me your phone!"
The lady owner, trembling slightly, handed over her newly purchased phone.
Tang Ming took her phone, pulled a SIM card from his pocket, inserted it, and quickly dialed a number. "Sir, this is Tang Ming!"
