Chapter 341: Seeing Peipei

After arriving here, he lowered his head and glanced; at this moment Liu Peipei was raising her head, and then it seemed as if she was looking at the surrounding environment.

After all, an unfamiliar environment truly makes a woman feel somewhat fearful.

When he saw a familiar man appear before him, Liu Peipei's face immediately broke into a smile.

"How are you? I just saw your attending physician; he said your condition should have improved a lot today."

After hearing that, Liu Peipei lightly nodded; although it had only been two days since they last met, he could feel that this woman had indeed become much more gaunt before his eyes.

As Xiao Ming approached, he eagerly reached out his hand; Xiao Ming hurried over and tightly grasped her hand.

"Don't move around like that; moving back and forth won't help your physical recovery at all. If you have anything to say, just say it—I'm here and can hear you."

"General Manager Xiao, how is the situation outside?"

"Don't worry, everything is going smoothly. Moreover, the reason I came here today is to tell you that Tang Mu has already been successfully taken down by me."

"Really?"

Although Liu Peipei was lying in bed at that moment, after hearing those words it was obvious that her eyes lit up.

"That's right, it's true. Now I haven't just taken him down; including that other foreigner named Bo'er, they have also kicked him out."

"Great! Then what about Zong Long?"

"Zong Long, I already signed a cooperation agreement with him this morning; now his company, Xing Ya, has been acquired, and everything is proceeding according to our plan."

"Good, that's great, only it's a pity that I can't be by your side to assist you in real time."

"I tell you, Peipei, this time the merit belongs to you; moreover, without you, our progress would certainly not be so smooth. This time I will definitely record a great achievement for you."

"Hehe, this is all I should do; if I can help General Manager Xiao, I am already very happy."

"You helped, and your help is absolutely a huge favor, so you don't need to worry about this at all."

"Good, what about the rest? Are the other matters progressing fairly smoothly?"

"Don't worry, with Assistant Ma and Yun Zhe by my side assisting me, you don't need to worry so much either."

"Good, I have another matter here."

"Oh, what else? Peipei, if you have something to say, just go ahead and say it; if not, we can talk after you leave the hospital. Right now, the most important thing is for you to stay in bed and properly heal your wounds; you don't need to worry about anything else."

"No, it's that I've known about it since that night, but I just haven't had a chance to tell you yet."

"What? You found out unintentionally? What do you know?"

"That day, when I was eating with them, he received a phone call in the middle."

"What are you saying? He got a phone call? When did that happen—was it that night while we were eating?"

"Exactly, it was while we were eating."

"But even if he took the call, it seems there's no big problem; it's just a normal correspondence."

"No, it's not that simple; that call, he seemed to have talked for a long time—I calculated it privately and it totaled a full twenty minutes."

"Twenty minutes? That means the call must have been very important—could it be his wife? Or his child? That's also normal, after all he's abroad."

"No, definitely not."

"Then what do you want to tell me? And who exactly was that call from? You still haven't figured it out yet?"

"Although I'm not sure, I know that person must be someone of very high status and authority, because when he saw that call, his expression clearly changed."

After Liu Peipei said those things, he merely hesitated slightly.

Actually, he originally thought that all these matters were progressing very smoothly today.

Moreover, there had been no unexpected complications, but his sudden remark just now has indeed made Xiao Ming feel somewhat worried.

"But we have no proof or evidence right now, so what should we do about all this?"

"I don't know either; it's just that things were rushed that day, so I didn't get a chance to tell you. Now I've suddenly thought of it, so General Manager Xiao, could there be other hidden aspects to this matter?"

"I'm not sure about that; I've had several private contacts with Tang Mu, and I feel he shouldn't have any problems."

"It's precisely because I feel the progress has been too smooth that I'm worried; there must be something going on here."

"Okay, I understand; just leave these matters to me to handle."

"General Manager Xiao, no matter what you do, you must be careful, prioritize safety, and if you ever notice something off, withdraw immediately; we'd rather lose these things than lose our lives—do you understand?"

"Okay, I understand; through this matter I've seen it clearly, and my life is yours—do you think I would not cherish it?"

Xiao Ming merely said this jokingly; when Liu Peipei heard it, she simply nodded satisfactorily, and finally a long‑absent smile appeared on her face.

After exchanging a few more casual pleasantries, Xiao Ming acted rather awkwardly at ease and then directly withdrew from inside.

But actually, his heart had gradually begun to doubt—namely, how exactly should he solve this problem?

After thinking this far, he dared not think further; he always felt that things were turning out contrary to his wishes, and that many things were not as he had expected.
