Extreme Almightiest Young Master

Chapter 679: Waiting for Your News (Request for Monthly Ticket)

"Yang Guo, you’ve finally called me!" A cold voice came through the phone. Dressed in a black suit, the suave Charles Jones swirled the red wine in his hand, standing by the top-floor window of a skyscraper, on the phone with Yang Guo. His face was very grim at the moment and inside, he was in a fury. He had not anticipated Yang Guo screwing up the original plan, which was infuriating!

He had been watching Su Xiaoxi for a long time and had also coveted her beauty. Charles had expected Yang Guo to bring Su Xiaoxi back smoothly this time, but never thought that Yang Guo would bungle it thus. So now, Charles Jones was very angry, his face ashen and his voice even colder.

But Charles Jones had a secret identity unknown to others, he was actually one of the partners of several large groups who had acted against Chu Meng last time, and was currently a member of the Business Alliance. His Jones Family had an especially close relationship with the Doer Family of Mace Doyle, a fact that no one knew of.

"Boss, there was an accident. We encountered a mastermind, and..." Hearing Charles Jones’s voice, Yang Guo started to sweat profusely. He knew the background of Charles Jones. If Charles really got angry, Yang Guo’s life could be regarded as non-existent. With this thought, Yang Guo didn’t hesitate and hastily explained the entire situation, wanting to prove one thing—that the kidnapping of Su Xiaoxi was intricately planned and would have been absolutely successful, had it not been for that unexpected interference that caused everything to fall apart and raised alarm.

"So that’s what happened..." After hearing the whole story from Yang Guo, Charles Jones finally understood what had happened in Tianhai. According to Yang Guo’s account and planning, there shouldn’t have been any mishaps. It was indeed an unforeseen incident. Yang Guo had thoroughly scoped out all of Su Xiaoxi’s bodyguard arrangements, and there shouldn’t have been such an incredibly capable young man involved. Meaning this young person must have stumbled upon the scene by coincidence and rescued Su Xiaoxi.

Reflecting on this, the originally irate heart of Charles Jones calmed down somewhat. After all, given such circumstances, while Yang Guo was responsible, the blame couldn’t entirely fall on him. However, Su Xiaoxi was a must-have for him; he had to bring her to the Jones Corporation.

"Yang Guo, regardless of anything else, you must find a way to make Su Xiaoxi sign the contract. Otherwise, I won’t be gentle with you. If you can’t get this done, you need not come back. Understand?" Charles Jones said indifferently, swirling his wine glass. His heart was now completely set on Su Xiaoxi. As long as she signed the contract, everything else would be easy to handle.

"Boss, we simply can’t meet with Su Xiaoxi. This time, kidnapping Su Xiaoxi to forcibly sign the contract was already a last resort. With the failure of this operation, the other party is on alert now. Su Xiaoxi’s villa is now surrounded by layers of bodyguards, inside and out. There’s no opportunity left. It’s not that I don’t want to handle it, boss, but in this situation, even if I risk my life, I can’t do it. I’m truly out of options, and not just me, anyone would be the same."

As Yang Guo explained the current situation right after hearing what Charles Jones had said, he had planned to kidnap Su Xiaoxi again. However, his subordinates had already discovered that Su Xiaoxi was not going anywhere now. The guards surrounding the villa formed an impenetrable barrier. There was no chance to act. Therefore, upon hearing Charles Jones ordering him to kidnap Su Xiaoxi again, he simply had no more opportunities to act and couldn’t complete the task.

Yang Guo certainly heard the threat in Charles Jones’s words and was terrified, but under the current circumstances, he was truly powerless. Last time the kidnapping of Su Xiaoxi was successful because they caught the other party by surprise, exploiting a moment of negligence. Now, to think about abducting Su Xiaoxi from a villa surrounded by numerous bodyguards was utterly impossible, an implausible feat for anyone under these conditions.

"Yang Guo, you should be clear on whom you are talking to. I only care about results, not the process," Charles Jones said after hearing Yang Guo’s words. Although he was extremely annoyed, Charles Jones also knew that Yang Guo was probably correct. After encountering such an event, Su Xiaoxi’s company would definitely bolster protection. Besides, with Charles Jones’s eyes on Yang Guo, Yang Guo wouldn’t dare resort to any tricks. Thus, the situation in Tianhai described by Yang Guo must be accurate. Considering this, Charles Jones still couldn’t help but ask if there was another way, as letting go of Su Xiaoxi was something he found hard to bear.

"Boss, I really can’t do it. Under the current situation, no one could manage it. A small villa surrounded by more than twenty bodyguards, not even a fly could get in. If we forced our way in, we wouldn’t get far before the police encircled us. I’m not making excuses; under such conditions, no one can do it. If you want my life, boss, just come and take it because I can’t accomplish this matter."

Upon hearing Charles Jones say this, Yang Guo felt indescribably frustrated. Under the current state of affairs, for the boss to still pressure him like this left him utterly helpless. If there had been any way, he wouldn’t be so troubled. His subordinates reported that Su Xiaoxi’s villa was already in that state, there was truly no way to attack her again. Even if there were the slightest possibility, he would have strictly followed the boss’s instructions. But now, under the present situation, he could find no way to resolve the Su Xiaoxi matter.

"If I can’t have Su Xiaoxi, then she must be destroyed!" Charles Jones, upon hearing Yang Guo speak thus, understood that Yang Guo was truly out of options. If there had been a way, Yang Guo would not have said such a thing to him. Realizing this, Charles Jones felt an immense rage building within him. He hadn’t expected things to turn out this way. Su Xiaoxi, who seemed within easy reach like a cooked duck ready to be plucked, had eluded him. How could he not be infuriated?

Now that they had startled the snake by hitting the grass, there was no chance of getting Su Xiaoxi any longer. In that case, there was no need to keep her around. What he couldn’t have, he certainly couldn’t let others possess. With this in mind, Charles Jones finally decided to destroy Su Xiaoxi, and coldly conveyed his decision to Yang Guo.

"Alright, boss. If there’s another chance, I will definitely take Su Xiaoxi into my grasp. If all else fails, I will follow your directive and destroy her. You can rest assured," Yang Guo said, his heart finally settling down upon hearing Charles Jones’ resolve. Seeing his boss make the decision to destroy Su Xiaoxi, Yang Guo could tell that this time his boss was truly determined to have her. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have made such a decision upon hearing that the matter couldn’t be resolved. Thinking this, Yang Guo hurriedly and cautiously responded to Charles Jones.

However, in his heart, Yang Guo still hoped that, if possible, he would do his utmost to get Su Xiaoxi to sign with Jones Corporation. Successfully achieving what seemed impossible would elevate his status in the boss’s eyes, securing his importance and making his life much easier in the future. But if push came to shove and it just wasn’t possible, then killing Su Xiaoxi would absolve him of any involvement. This outcome, in his view, would be for the best.

"Good, that’s settled then. By the way, Su Xiaoxi has a concert, doesn’t she? You know what to do?" Charles Jones was very satisfied with Yang Guo’s response, and then it suddenly occurred to him that Su Xiaoxi was about to perform a concert in Tianhai. It was the perfect opportunity.

"Understood, boss, you can count on me!" Yang Guo quickly assured Charles Jones, understanding exactly what his boss meant. The concert would be crowded, and placing a bomb under the stage would get rid of everything. No matter how lucky Su Xiaoxi was or who was protecting her, she would be doomed. If he couldn’t figure out such a simple task, he wouldn’t be fit to work for his boss much longer.

"Hmm, let’s proceed with that. I’ll await your news," Charles Jones said, then hung up the phone, swirling the red wine in his hand, looking through the window at the outside scenery with mixed emotions. Su Xiaoxi was the first Chinese actress he had taken a shine to; he truly didn’t want to destroy her unless absolutely necessary. With a sigh, he downed the wine in his glass...

After hearing Charles Jones hang up, Yang Guo moved towards the liquor cabinet, starting to plan the next steps. Setting up a bomb required meticulous planning, as the slightest carelessness could blow back on them. He opened a bottle of wine, lit a cigar, and settled onto the sofa, carefully plotting through the plan over and over...

Time swiftly advanced, and soon it was evening. Lin Feng finished his French class and, after work, went to Ding Wan’er’s office to take her home. Upon opening the door to the office, he didn’t expect to see Leng Mei there again. However, after the events of the previous day, nothing surprised him anymore.

"Lin Feng, you’re here. Sister Leng came by again this afternoon," Ding Wan’er said, greeting Lin Feng with a chuckle as he entered the office from outside. She straightened his clothes for him, smiling as she spoke.

Leng Mei had come to her office that afternoon to talk about some work-related matters and then they had chatted some more, with time flying by before they knew it, leaving Ding Wan’er quite happy. Through yesterday’s events, Ding Wan’er could clearly sense that Leng Mei was gradually letting go of her facade and was starting to enjoy the atmosphere of the three of them together. This was exactly what Ding Wan’er had wanted.

So, seeing that it was time for Lin Feng to finish work and be on his way to pick her up, she intentionally held up Leng Mei, preventing her from leaving. By doing this, she aimed to have Leng Mei let go of everything and fully immerse herself in her new role. They were both Lin Feng’s women and should consider his feelings. Only by adapting to this kind of life could they ensure harmony in their future together.
