Chapter 548 - 549 Young Mistress is Kidnapped 1
"It’s over, it’s over!" Mrs. Xia plopped down on the sofa. "The reporters have come to our doorstep! Now with things a mess like this, and Xiaonuan divorced from the Young Master... boo hoo, what should we do...""Cry, cry, cry! All you know how to do is cry!" Mr. Xia glared at Mrs. Xia and shouted, "What good will crying do? Now, we’re just waiting for bankruptcy!"
Is it really that serious? Xia Xiaonuan was completely stunned.
No, she couldn’t sit idly by. What’s really going on here? She had to ask Nangong Yaoling and get to the bottom of this!
Xia Xiaonuan turned around and walked towards the door.
But just as she reached the entrance, she saw lots of reporters outside, along with cameras.
"Miss, you can’t go out right now..." The butler said from the side.
Suddenly, Mr. Xia’s phone rang.
"What? President Li, you can’t do this... things haven’t been clarified yet... hello..."
Mr. Xia hung up the phone with a look of utter despair on his face.
"What’s wrong? What happened now?" Mrs. Xia grabbed him and asked.
"President Zhang of Haoyuan Group wants to withdraw his investment, saying he can no longer cooperate with us! What are we supposed to do if this continues!"
Mr. Xia slammed his fist on the table.
Mrs. Xia’s eyes were filled with tears, and she said resentfully, "When the wall falls, everyone gives it a shove! The news just broke, and these people can’t wait to add insult to injury!"
Xia Xiaonuan stepped forward. "Dad... Mom... it’s all my fault... I didn’t expect it to get this serious..."
"You still dare to speak!" Mr. Xia rushed over and suddenly slapped Xia Xiaonuan’s face.
Xia Xiaonuan was stunned, completely bewildered by the slap.
Mrs. Xia rushed over. "Why are you hitting our daughter? Are you crazy!"
"I am crazy! All my years of hard work have gone to waste!" Mr. Xia said angrily.
Mrs. Xia hugged Xiaonuan. "Xiaonuan, it’s not your fault. I haven’t had a good talk with you during this time either. Don’t blame your father..."
Xia Xiaonuan reached out and covered her burning cheek, tears welling up.
"Mom, it’s okay. Don’t worry, I will find a way..."
As she spoke, she let go of Mrs. Xia and walked over to Yun. "Is there a back door or something out of the house?"
"Yes, Miss, but it will take some time to find a cab once we’re out."
"That’s fine, take me there quickly."
Yun led Xia Xiaonuan out through the back door. Xiaonuan walked along a secluded path to the roadside and hailed a taxi.
She had to find Nangong Yaoling and figure out what was going on.
Maybe he was the only one who could help her now.
Xia Xiaonuan took a taxi directly to the Imperial Mansion.
From a distance, she saw that the front of the mansion was also surrounded by many reporters, all holding cameras and frantically trying to rush inside. All just to get the latest sensational news first.
Xia Xiaonuan had no choice but to instruct the driver to turn around and head to the back entrance.
...
President’s Office.
Nangong Yaoling sat behind his desk, looking at the man kneeling in front of him.
"Who exactly ordered you to do this?!" Nangong Yaoling’s lips parted slightly as he coldly asked, gritting his teeth.
His whole body exuded an aura of imminent destruction, sending shivers down one’s spine.
"Young Master... I... I was paid to do this..." The man trembled all over, speaking cautiously.
"Crown Prince, there’s something I find strange. Regarding the Luo Family acquisition case, only our internal team knew about it. This time, it was suddenly acquired by someone else, and with such speed. They must have obtained internal information.
To make a move at this time and abruptly acquire the Luo Family, obviously taking advantage of the situation, I suspect this mysterious person is also related to the news scandal we’re dealing with."
