Chapter 186: Not Even the Courage to Utter a Sound

"What, what are you doing here?" Seeing the daughter-in-law also there, Feng Yuejin was also bewildered.

Twenty minutes ago, the secretary told him that Xiao Ming of Minghui Group had called, saying he hadn't managed his own people well, daring to move Xiao Ming's people, as if he thought life was too easy.

At that time he was completely bewildered, wondering how he had offended that old man; hearing the secretary say Xiao Ming urgently told him to go to the city bureau, he hurried over.

The moment he contacted Xiao Ming, he immediately apologized.

But in fact, he himself still hadn't figured out what was going on; however, more importantly now, don't provoke that big shot.

Don't worry about all that; first lower your head and admit fault—that's the wisest choice.

At this moment, upon seeing his daughter-in-law, although he didn't know the truth of the matter, he already understood that this affair was definitely related to her.

Feng Yuejin stepped forward and, without a word, slapped Yu Siying across the face: "You wretched thing, how dare you offend Mr. Xiao—quickly, apologize to Mr. Xiao."

Apologize?

Yu Siying couldn't believe her ears; her father-in-law had always been extremely good to her, never even scolding her, let alone hitting her.

At that moment, her mind went blank.

After a while, she gradually came to her senses; seeing her father-in-law's fearful expression toward that man, she realized this person was someone she couldn't afford to offend.

"How, how could this be?" she whispered in disbelief, wondering if her luck was really that bad.

Seeing Yu Siying had no intention of apologizing, Feng Yuejin cautiously glanced at Xiao Ming's face, noticing his cold demeanor; he inwardly cursed his bad luck, stepped forward and slapped her several more times.

Feng Yuejin struck with real force; just hearing those crisp sounds made one feel pain, and Yu Siying's face instantly swelled into a pig's face, yet she didn't utter a single sound.

It wasn't that she didn't feel pain or resentment; she simply lacked the courage to make a sound.

Someone who could make her father-in-law fearful to this extent must have an enormous background.

"Eh, why did you resort to violence? Let's talk properly." Seeing the scene, the officers rushed forward to intervene, pulling Feng Yuejin and Yu Siying apart to prevent Feng Yuejin from striking again.

Just after finishing all that, the bureau chief entered; a few officers were about to say hello when they saw that leader walk straight up to Xiao Ming, speaking very politely: "Mr. Xiao, sorry I'm late."

"Rest assured, I will personally see to it that they investigate Miss Xiao's case thoroughly and will never wrong her."

What's going on?

The officers were dumbfounded; they had only ever seen others treat their superior with utmost respect, never witnessed a leader being so deferential to someone else.

After a moment, someone quietly muttered: "This person seems to be that recently internet-famous new tycoon of Wuxingguo, Xiao Ming."

Though his voice was low, everyone around heard it clearly; as soon as the words were spoken, everyone was stunned.

The tycoon of Wuxingguo?

Xiao Ming has been popular online recently, but he used to keep a low profile, so busy workers had no time to follow entertainment gossip, and some still didn't know him.

And someone like Yu Siying, who acts high and mighty, would never associate Xiao Ming with the term "tycoon."

But Xiao Ming is indeed Wuxingguo's newly risen tycoon, and she had heard of him before.

At this moment, hearing someone say that, her heart skipped two beats.

"No, impossible."

"How could it..."

Yu Siying broke down; no wonder her father-in-law was so furious.

Seeing Yu Siying's reaction, the officers looked at her sympathetically, while Xie Mengke's side secretly felt pleased.

Heh, wasn't she being arrogant? Karma came far too quickly.

"Tycoon? Jingrou's sister's father is actually a tycoon? My goodness..." Xie Mengke, who had braced herself for anything, felt her heart turn to ash.

Upon hearing someone say that man was the tycoon of Wuxingguo, her heart sprang back to life.

Lately she's been busy, no time to read the news, hasn't seen Xiao Ming's photo, but she knows that Wuxingguo has a newly risen tycoon named Xiao Ming.

She never dreamed that her former close friend would actually be the tycoon's daughter.

In an instant she understood: she would definitely be fine today, and she felt a surge of relief, as if reborn after a catastrophe.

Xie Mengke's employees, who had originally been worried about her safety, instantly turned envious—being friends with the tycoon's daughter is the kind of luck accumulated over several lifetimes.

Xiao Jingrou is so beautiful, and her values are so upright; if after this matter Xie Mengke continues to sell her studio to Xiao Jingrou, then Xiao Jingrou would become the new boss.

Working under such a boss, those employees just thinking about it makes them happy.

Yu Siying's thoughts were the complete opposite; she never imagined that the seemingly delicate little girl was actually the daughter of Wuxingguo's tycoon.

Just a few minutes ago, she had been openly mocking others; now thinking about it, that was practically courting death.

Her fearful heart was trembling.

……

After hearing the words of the leader who had rushed over, Xiao Ming nodded: "Then thank you; just follow the normal procedure. I know what kind of person my daughter is in my heart—if she's at fault, double the penalty; if not, anyone who wrongs my daughter will be severely punished without mercy."

As soon as Xiao Ming's words left his mouth, Yu Siying couldn't help but tremble.

"Who would wrong his daughter? That's none other than her, right?"

At this very moment, her intestines were practically turning green.

"All right, Mr. Xiao, please wait a moment; I'll handle this right away."

Feng Yuejin was also anxious like an ant on a hot pan; he knew exactly what kind of person his daughter-in-law was—ninety-nine percent of the fault in this matter lay with her, and if Xiao Ming continued to pursue it, the Feng family would be doomed.

"Mr. Xiao, could you give me some time to handle this?" Feng Yuejin stepped forward and bowed pleadingly to Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming glanced at him indifferently and waved his hand slightly.

Having obtained permission, Feng Yuejin took a few steps to Yu Siying's side, pulled her aside, and said: "You stupid wretch, who else should you have provoked? You had to provoke this great deity—our Feng family couldn't afford to offend him."

"Dad, I was wrong." Yu Siying now realized the magnitude of her mistake, but the deed had been done, and she felt helpless at this moment.

"Who is he? The tycoon of Wuxingguo, the war god of the business world." Feng Yuejin shouted angrily: "Everything I've painstakingly built over a lifetime means nothing in his eyes; do you still remember the Wen Clan Group? That was Mr. Xiao's doing."
