The Hidden Heiress Is a Secret Big Shot-Chapter 58 - Shen Yurou Was Kidnapped
Chapter 58: Chapter 58 Shen Yurou Was Kidnapped
Chapter 58 -58 Shen Yurou Was Kidnapped
As soon as she thought of this, Shen Yurou became anxious.
“I warn you not to mess around. Do you know who I am? Do you know who my grandfather is? I am a Shen Family member!”
“Miss Shen? What a coincidence, I’m actually looking for a Miss Shen. Since you’ve accepted my order, you should act according to the rules, right?”
Shen Yurou was dumbfounded. An order? What order?
Lately, she was short on cash and hadn’t played cards in a long time; there shouldn’t be any order, right?
The driver’s voice was fierce, with the veins on his arms showing. A mountain tattoo was prominently displayed, and the scar on his face was particularly ferocious.
“My name’s Tarzan. You’ve accepted my order, so it doesn’t matter if you’re the Ghost Doctor Chang Yue. Today, you must come with me!”
Shen Yurou: “???”
What Ghost Doctor nonsense was he babbling about… Was he talking about that one-billion US Dollar order on the Dark Web?!
She still wanted to say something, but a heavy blow to the back of her head made her roll her eyes and pass out.
The unlicensed taxi moved silently, blending into the night.
…
Ning City, Lin Family Villa
Lin Jingsheng slammed the surveillance footage onto the table, his beard trembling with anger.
“Chengcheng, you tell me, what’s all this about? How many of our family’s orders have you shown the Lu Family?!”
“Not many, Dad. I really couldn’t help it… Mingchuan said that if I didn’t show him, he would break up with me. He said since it’s about us both, when we get married, won’t we all be one family?”
Qian Yueqiang also stepped up to calm Lin Jingsheng down, “Yes, honey, and besides, the business scope of our family and the Lu Family don’t even overlap. Many of these orders are just coincidences. Now that Chengcheng has shown Lu Family our contracts, when they get married, can’t she show you the Lu Family contracts too?”
Lin Jingsheng: “…”
That seems logical.
Even though the Lu Family’s business hasn’t been too good lately, it still does a lot better than the Lin Family. Plus, Lu Mingchuan is absolutely a good kid. Otherwise, he wouldn’t help the Lin Family renovate their ancestral home.
“Don’t do this in the future, but if you find a chance, let Dad see the Lu Family’s contracts…”
Lin Xuecheng, seeing that he was no longer pursuing the issue, quickly agreed, “Once I marry in, I’ll let Dad know everything. Mingchuan is very good to me and wouldn’t hide anything from Dad.”
Lin Jingsheng nodded but then began to worry about the Lin Family’s recent business situation.
He had gone through great expense to entertain four bosses, but none showed up, and he ended up eating the entire feast himself. The ingredients were not fresh, causing him many days of distress…
Lin Xuecheng thought of the Qingwu poster she saw on the university campus, bit her lower lip, and brought up her idea.
“Dad, I seem to have seen that Sister Qingwu plans to debut. I don’t know if she wants to act or sing… I’ve never heard that Sister Qingwu has talent in these areas. If she’s planning to make certain negative films, it won’t be good.”
Lin Jingsheng got angry just thinking about Qingwu.
That ungrateful girl—she had connections with Shen Jishi, and when he asked her for an introduction, she blocked him!
A true traitor and ungrateful wolf!
“Who cares about her, anyway? She’s already severed ties with our family. Chengcheng, you’re a lady of a noble family; you mustn’t imitate her and pick up all her bad habits.”

“I know, Dad. Isn’t our family being sued by East Sea Culture now? Why not let me debut? I also want to help our family.”
With her looks and talents, she would surely outshine Qingwu once she debuted.
When the time came to marry into the Lu Family, no one would look down on her as the child raised by a nanny!
Lin Jingsheng rejected it outright.
“No way, my daughter is my darling. What does she want to become an actress for? A girl should stay home and take care of her family. How improper to show her face everywhere. You should use this time to sweet-talk Lu Mingchuan into marrying you soon and discuss the bride price with the Lu Family.”
The key point is, Lin Xuecheng doesn’t know anything. Even as a vase, she wouldn’t qualify if she debuted.
Lin Jingsheng had thought it through. For a wealthy family like theirs, marrying off a daughter, the bride price should be at least two billion if not three billion. Perfect to fill the gap of various company compensations!
Lin Xuecheng felt somewhat wronged. Why could Qingwu do what she couldn’t?
If she debuted, she’d certainly be more successful than Qingwu!
“Alright, let’s not bring up this matter again. When Dad resolves these issues, he’ll prepare a generous dowry for you!”
When his daughter got married, no matter what, the dowry should reach at least five million, right? The problem was, the Lin Family couldn’t currently come up with that money…
Lin Xuecheng’s eyes darted around, “Yesterday I heard Mingchuan say that the president of Pei Group has been visiting Qiao Xi Hospital every day recently. Maybe we should try our luck too?”
“You mean the president of Pei Group, Pei San? He probably isn’t feeling well and is getting check-ups. Normally, you wouldn’t get to meet such an important figure…”
If they could latch onto the Pei Group, Lin Jingsheng wouldn’t worry about any future business difficulties.
Never mind the Lu Family giving him a hard time, he could kick them away and find a better in-law!
The compensation amounts would be a trivial matter in the eyes of the Pei Group; probably, Pei San would spend that kind of money on one meal…
“Arrange it. We’re going to Beijing tomorrow!”
“Okay.”
Lin Jingsheng happily made the arrangements as the secretary’s call came through.
“Mr. Lin, someone has offered three million to buy the Lin Family’s old house in Xing City.”
“Who? That house is so old. I haven’t lived there for more than twenty years. Who would be interested in it?”
“It’s someone from the village, saying they like the Osmanthus Tree in the yard. If you don’t agree, I will refuse them.”
Lin Jingsheng immediately sat up on the sofa.
“Agree! Why wouldn’t I agree? The market value of that house is at most twenty thousand, but someone is offering so much for that old house! Of course, I’m selling it!”
He had little attachment to that house, and wasn’t the villa he was living in enough? What was he doing thinking about that old broken-down house?
Now that someone was willing to overpay three million, he would obviously sell it to get some cash.
“Agree to their offer, and see if you can raise the price. Can’t raise it? Three million will do.”
“Okay.”
…
Changrong Group, CEO’s Office.
“What did you say? Lin Jingsheng wants five million? How can he be so shameless!”
The secretary was also a bit speechless. Their boss was willing to offer three million for that house just to thank Old Madame Lin for her affection toward the young lady. Why would Lin Jingsheng dare to demand the moon?
Qingwu, sitting on the sofa, spoke indifferently, “Maybe it was the secretary’s idea, trying to pocket two million. Contact Lin Jingsheng directly and let him know that our initial offer was five million but now it’s reduced to one million. Take it or leave it.”
Shen Boyi chuckled along.
Knowing Lin Jingsheng’s character, not only would he feel aggrieved for not getting a good deal, but he’d probably also want to tear his secretary apart.
“Do as the young lady said.”
“Understood.”
Qingwu picked up the latest financial news, intending to check the recent economic trends. As soon as she picked it up, she saw a man in a suit on the front cover.
Pei Jue’s face appeared, with a half-smile. The photo alone was full of intimidating charisma.
It seemed like he had deliberately exposed his ruby cufflinks on the sleeves, and the English report highlighted that his fiancée had put them on for him…
Qingwu: “…”
If she remembered correctly, how long ago was that?
Pei Jue’s phone rang three times before Qingwu answered. She put down the newspaper, unafraid of the presence of Shen Boyi, and picked up the call.
“What’s up?”
“Can’t I just miss you?”
Qingwu felt speechless and was about to hang up.
“More importantly, Shen Yurou was taken by Tarzan’s people, probably mistaken for the Ghost Doctor Chang Yue.”
“Got it. Anything else?”
“Do I have the pleasure of having dinner with my fiancée tonight? Of course, we can take five minutes to discuss Tarzan. Any longer would be improper, since I really don’t like discussing other men with my fiancée.”
Qingwu: “…”
Was something wrong with this person?
Qingwu thought for a moment and coldly declined, “Then we could skip dinner and just talk for five minutes.”
“Can’t do. We haven’t seen each other for days. To have dinner with you, I’ve worked overtime for several days. If you say this, it would break my heart!”
