The black jeep stopped steadily next to the main entrance of the Jiangnan Villa.
Xu Jingchu unfastened her seat belt, turned her head to Yue Heng and whispered, "I'll go back first."
In the dim car, her eyes were as bright as the morning stars.
Yue Heng nodded. "Good night."
"Good night."
Xu Jingchu pursed her lips and suddenly leaned over to kiss him lightly on the face.
Before Yue Heng could "retaliate", the girl slipped out of the car like a frightened rabbit.
Yue Heng couldn't help laughing. He touched his face and felt that his heart was soaked in sweetness.
"Jingjing."
Xu Jingchu got out of the car and ran a few steps. Suddenly, a man walked out of the shadow next to the guard booth.
Xu Jingchu stopped. "Dad."
It was Xu Yuntian.
She didn't know if Xu Yuntian saw her "sneak attack" on Yue Heng. She felt very guilty and her pretty face was burning with shame.
It was bright red.
Xu Yuntian coldly glanced at the jeep driven by Yue Heng. His eyes flashed with a fierce light.
He turned his head and showed his daughter an amiable smile. "Why did you play so late? Go home. Your mother is talking about you! "
"Got it."
Xu Jingchu stuck out her tongue and obediently left with Xu Yuntian.
But when she walked through the gate, she secretly turned around and waved at the jeep.
Yue Heng, who was sitting in the car, also waved at her.
After watching the girl's figure disappear, he returned home.
The next morning, Yue Heng called Manli.
Last night, Cai Ruichen used Manli to threaten Yue Heng. Although Yue Heng scoffed at it, he also wanted to know about Manli's recent situation.
In the end, Yue Heng dialed twice before the phone was picked up. "Hello?"
The voice that came out of the phone sounded very tired, as if he had just woken up.
"Sister Manli."
Yue Heng said, "I'm Yue Heng. How have you been?"
"Uh, Yue Shao?"
Manli seemed to have woken up from a dream and was flustered for a while. "Ah, I've been fine recently. Thank you."
He didn't seem to be very awake.
"Are you free this morning?"
Yue Heng asked, "Can we meet and discuss something with you?"
Manli hesitated for a moment. "Okay."
After agreeing on a time and place to meet, Yue Heng ended the call with Manli.
He drove to the city.
An hour later, he met Mary in a coffee shop.
It hadn't been long since they last met. Manli looked a few years older. Her delicate makeup couldn't hide the haggard look on her face and the gloominess in her expression.
She had completely lost her previous beautiful and moving charm.
When she saw Yue Heng, she forced a smile. "Yue Shao, why are you looking for me?"
"I ran into a guy called Cai Ruichen last night."
Yue Heng said bluntly, "He told me that you're about to go bankrupt. Is that true?"
Manli was stunned for a moment before she smiled bitterly. "He's right."
Manli had been in a very bad situation recently.
Because of the chain reaction caused by the Qian Palace murder case, the companies and enterprises under her name had been heavily suppressed by the Taigu Group and had suffered heavy losses.
Manli was in a terrible fix because of this and hadn't had a good rest for a long time.
Yue Heng asked in a deep voice, "Is that Vice President Cai targeting you?"
On the night of the Qian Palace murder case, Yue Heng accompanied Manli to the police station. When they came out, they were stopped by the people from the Taigu Group.
They forced Manli to meet their Vice President.
"Cai Shuoqi."
Manli nodded and replied, "Cai Ruichen is his son. I've heard people talk about him."
Cai Shuoqi was a direct descendant of the Cai Family in Shanghai, and the Cai Family was one of the three major shareholders of the Taigu Group.
Cai Shuoqi was the Vice President of the Taigu Group and had a prominent status and a high position.
Manli had met Cai Shuoqi at a cocktail party, and the latter had always harbored ill intentions towards her.
However, Manli didn't have the slightest good impression of this lecherous and ruthless Cai Family member.
Cai Shuoqi had once said in the circle that there was no woman he couldn't get if he wanted one.
This time, Cai Shuoqi was using the Qian Palace murder case to pressure Manli. His purpose was self-evident!
"Even if I go bankrupt …"
Manli bit her lip and said, "I won't give in to him!"
Yue Heng asked, "Then what are your plans now?"
Manli smiled bitterly. "What else can I plan? I'll end the business and try to recoup some losses."
The biggest problem she faced was actually not Cai Shuoqi's coercion.
It was that her previous backer had fallen.
These days, there were many people who wanted to add flowers to the brocade. There were very few who would send charcoal in the snow. There were even more who would add insult to injury.
It was already not easy for Manli to hold on until now.
Yue Heng stared at her. "Do you want to admit defeat?"
Manli was helpless. "Do I have any other choice?"
"Yes."
Yue Heng took a sip of coffee, then took out a document that he had already prepared and handed it to her.
Manli took the document in a daze.
The Taigu Group was one of the largest groups in Jiangnan Province, and its scale and strength were firmly in the top three. It also had the backing of the three major families. Although its power in Taijiang had not reached the point where it could cover the sky with one hand, it was still not something that she and Yue Heng could contend with.
Manli couldn't think of any other choice.
She looked at the document in her hand with a puzzled gaze.
It was a technical description.
At first, Manli was a little distracted, but after reading a few paragraphs, her expression gradually became serious, and she revealed a look of shock, astonishment, and disbelief.
After reading the two pages, Manli's expression was extremely complicated. "Is this true?"
Although she believed that Yue Heng would not lie to her, the content on these two pieces of paper was not only quite science fiction, but also a counterexample in reality!
Yue Heng was very serious. "Sister Manli, do you think I would joke with you at this time?"
After a pause, he continued, "I can produce a sample in half a month!"
"I want to ask, are you willing to cooperate with me?"
Not long ago, Yue Heng had used a mutant to exchange for several pieces of future technology with Queen Chong.
What he had just shown Manli was the technical description of one of the future technology products.
Yue Heng planned to cooperate with Manli to produce, promote, and sell this product.
While benefiting mankind, it also created a long-term stable income channel for himself!
As a former level nine master mechanic, Yue Heng could not be satisfied with the small scale of his own mechanical workshop.
He wanted to build his own large mechanical factory, research and create all kinds of high-tech equipment products.
Including the future mecha!
But this required a huge amount of investment, and it was obviously far from enough to ransack the enemy's treasury.
So Yue Heng thought of cooperating with Manli.
He would provide the technology behind the scenes, and Manli would stand in front of the stage in charge of production and operation.
