Divine Doctor and His CEO Wife-Chapter 285: Accompanying

"Alright!" Ye Hongyi also hastily hung up the phone.

Leng Baiyu losing contact is no small matter. Given her strength, whoever could put her in crisis is obviously no ordinary person!

Meanwhile, Chen Xiao narrowed his eyes.

He now suspected that this was all a setup from the beginning.

Could it be that even the information about the Mermaid’s Tears was intentionally released by the opponent?

The opponent is targeting Leng Baiyu!

Or perhaps, he too was part of the calculation?

If that’s the case, the opponent is well-prepared and may not be easy to deal with!

However, he had no choice now.

He must brave the dragon’s den!

Determined, Chen Xiao planned to set off immediately.

Luo Qingli asked worriedly, "Are you planning to leave now?"

"Yes." Chen Xiao nodded, "The situation is urgent!"

"But I want to take Lu Ruge with me." Chen Xiao stated, "Earlier, my senior sister asked the Lu Family for the Mysterious Yin Pearl. They know my senior sister is looking for those materials."

"I don’t know if the Lu Family is involved in this matter."

"So, I need to keep Lu Ruge, this unstable factor, by my side."

"After all, without me here, you guys can’t suppress her."

"Keeping her with me as a hostage will certainly make the Lu Family cautious!"

Luo Qingli nodded.

She knew that Chen Xiao was always very clear-headed about major issues like this.

It was definitely not just out of lust.

Moreover, what Chen Xiao said made a lot of sense. If he left Yuncheng City for Fragrant City and Lu Ruge was unguarded, who knows what the Lu Family might do.

By then, it could put them at a disadvantage.

Chen Xiao went to Lu Ruge’s door and knocked.

"What?!" Lu Ruge’s tone was annoyed.

"Come with me on a business trip." Chen Xiao said flatly, "I’ve already booked the tickets."

"Are you crazy?" Lu Ruge frowned.

"One word, go or not?" Chen Xiao’s eyes turned cold.

Seeing Chen Xiao so agitated, Lu Ruge gritted her teeth, "Go! I still need to make my money back in the stock market! I want to see what game you’re playing!"

Chen Xiao coldly warned, "You better behave, and tell the Lu Family behind you to behave too."

"Don’t test my limits!"

"Pack up."

"We’ll leave in half an hour."

After speaking, he turned and left.

"What’s with this guy?" Lu Ruge was full of confusion.

She had no idea what happened that made Chen Xiao, who was usually a layabout, go on a business trip? 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

Could there be some urgent matter?

But now wasn’t the time to think too much about it.

After a quick pack, Chen Xiao took Lu Ruge to the airport.

Heading straight for Fragrant City.

Fragrant City was a unique place.

It’s open to the world, economically prosperous yet mixed with all sorts, because of its unique geographical position, it’s renowned in the eastern world.

On the plane.

Lu Ruge kept observing Chen Xiao.

This guy actually had a solemn look on his face, unlike his usual frivolous smile. She was even more curious about what had happened!

"I’m very interested in what made you so serious?" She teased.

"Don’t ask what you shouldn’t." Chen Xiao replied coldly, then suddenly changed the subject, "How much do you know about the Xiang City Li Family?"

"The Li Family of the Four Great Families in Fragrant City?" Lu Ruge was taken aback.

"That’s right."

"Why do you want to know?"

"Speak!"

"The Xiang City Li Family originated in the last century, and has a history of about a hundred years now! But its status in Fragrant City is incredibly high! In fact, the previous head of the Li Family once became the richest man in South Asia!"

"The Li Family made its first fortune in real estate."

"Back then, their real estate business once dominated half of Fragrant City’s market."

"After that, the Li Family quickly rose."

"Moreover, they started developing industries abroad, and gained considerable fame worldwide."

"Their influence abroad is far above my Lu Family!"

"Moreover, those of the Li Family prefer to deal with foreigners."

"To put it bluntly... hehe."

Though Lu Ruge didn’t finish, Chen Xiao understood her meaning.

"However, I must warn you, the Li Family is extremely difficult to deal with and acts like a local tyrant in Fragrant City. That domestic routine won’t work on them!"

Chen Xiao remained silent, his expression indifferent, "If they really cross my bottom line, I don’t mind turning the Li Family into history!"

The fact that Leng Baiyu and the others lost contact at an auction headed by the Li Family makes them accountable! If he uncovers something deeper, he certainly won’t let the Li Family off!

"Big words!" Lu Ruge sneered.

"By the way, the Zhonghai Li Family and the Xiang City Li Family have quite the connection."

"Initially, the old head of the Li Family had a concubine who gave birth to an illegitimate child, who was marginalized in the family and had to set up their own branch in Zhonghai, becoming the Zhonghai Li Family."

On hearing this, Chen Xiao was also somewhat surprised.

He hadn’t expected the Zhonghai Li Family, where Li Kani is from, to have such a relation with the Xiang City Li Family.

Five hours later, the plane landed.

The two walked out of the airport.

Lu Ruge, carrying her luggage, complained unhappily, "Hey! Don’t you have any gentlemanly manner? Can’t help a lady with her luggage?"

"Carry it yourself." Chen Xiao sneered, "Why not buy whatever you need here, rather than bringing so much stuff? Isn’t it asking for trouble?"

"Do you think everyone’s as rough as you?" Lu Ruge coldly laughed, "I have lots of custom skincare products inside, not used to anything else!"

Chen Xiao didn’t want to listen to her prattle.

Soon, he saw a sweet-looking girl walking towards him, "Are you Mr. Chen?"

Chen Xiao nodded, "Are you the one sent by my second senior sister to make the connection?"

"Yes." The sweet girl smiled, "Mr. Chen, please! I’ll brief you on the details in the car!"

Chen Xiao followed her, casually carrying Lu Ruge’s luggage too.

Only then did Lu Ruge’s expression soften a bit.

She admitted... at this moment when he helped carry her luggage, this annoying guy looked quite handsome.

However, she was also very aware that Chen Xiao took her along to control her, so she wouldn’t let her guard down with this guy.

"My name is Xu Meimei, a member of the Hundred Flowers Pavilion." In the car, the sweet girl introduced herself, "Mr. Chen, if you have any questions, feel free to ask."

Chen Xiao got straight to the point, "What’s going on with my senior sister and Xu Yanran?"
