Chapter 381: Bringing Back to the Villa

Maybe this time they truly aren't just after you; maybe they even want to take my life.

I remember now; last time, when we were talking about the JK Group, you seemed to have been hiding something. Can you tell me, back then with the JK Group, did you have any grudge?

Grudge? I'll tell you, the grudge is huge. And if it weren't for what happened back then, maybe I wouldn't have gotten to where I am today. That said, I still have to thank the JK Group; if it weren't for those things, maybe I wouldn't have today's achievements.

What exactly happened?

Maybe you'll find out later. Anyway, the key point now is: are those things he currently has still in your hands? You didn't hand them over to Bo'er and Tang Mu, did you?

No, how could I possibly hand over something so important to those two? I've always kept it in my own hands.

Good, if you haven't handed it over to them, maybe this is easier to talk about. So this thing must be very important, a life‑saving tool, and maybe it could save both our lives. Tell me, where is it?

It seems Xiao Ming is now eager to get hold of that important thing, because he knows.

If he grasps that thing in his hand, maybe there's still a chance for them to turn things around; but if they really give it all up, I'm afraid the two of them really won't be able to leave alive.

After Xiao Ming finished saying that, he merely paused slightly, then turned his head to look at Zong Long; upon looking, Zong Long seemed truly reluctant at that moment.

After all, if such an important thing were really handed to him, wouldn't that mean I'd have no chance to survive? Actually, regarding Xiao Ming, strictly speaking, I still harbor doubts.

What, don't you believe me? Or do you still have other thoughts in your heart?

No, I'm not saying I don't believe you. Besides, you'll only know that this is my last magical treasure, my last amulet. Now, my everything has been taken by those two; if that's the case, then I have nothing left in my hand—do you think I'd still teach you the last thing?

But if you don't hand it over to me, I tell you, your situation will be just as dangerous. If you really have to face them alone, do you think Zong Long would definitely keep an eye on you?

Actually, Xiao Ming knows that Zong Long is really in a tough spot right now.

Besides, this was originally just some business matter; he still feels the two of them could cooperate well together.

But Xiao Ming never expected that even his best rival nearby would give him a clear‑cut remark; if that's the case, then can their affair still go on? This is also a major challenge for them.

All right, you drive now; I'll go to the villa.

After hearing this, Xiao Ming suddenly froze; no matter what, he considered this matter agreed upon, and he hoped that if he agreed, especially since many things are actually about finding a way to solve them.

Finally, the two drove straight to the villa.

This is also the first time Xiao Ming has formally met him at this place; before, he had never come here, even though he knew his home was here, but since they are rivals, it would have been impossible for him to come.

After the car stopped, soon a red sedan drove out from the villa.

When the car reached the gate, it naturally stopped; suddenly the window rolled down, he glanced and didn't expect it to be Zong Mengni.

Dad, why are you coming back now?

Oh, I'm just going home to pick up something.

Zong Mengni also never expected to see him here; moreover, what surprised her was that sitting in this car was also Xiao Ming.

Oh, I came over to get something; where are you going? It seems you haven't been home these two days, right? I heard that from the downstairs housekeeper.

Yes, I haven't gone back; I've been busy with the studio's affairs, so I haven't had time to return.

I'm asking you, these few days you'd better not run around aimlessly, got it?

What? What's wrong, Dad? Is there something else again?

Oh, nothing much; I'll tell you, if you're going to work on the studio, just focus on it and stop running back and forth. Understood? If you need anything, I'll send the stuff over; just give me a call when the time comes.

Oh, okay, I got it.

After saying that, Zong Mengni merely nodded; although he felt her words were indeed a bit strange, she also thought that if he could say such things, he must have formed his own ideas.

Are you worried about Zong Mengni's safety?

After seeing that car drive off, Xiao Ming hurriedly turned back to speak to Zong Long.

That's right, he's my only daughter; to be honest, what I'm most worried about now is her safety. Actually, I'm not afraid myself—I'm just a worthless life; even if he killed me, what could he do?

If you say that, then we really need to take precautions; moreover, they have lethal weapons, so ordinary personnel simply can't protect him.

I know; I'll immediately arrange some personnel around his studio these two days, then start protecting Mengni. Once there's any sign of trouble, we'll leave right away. Also, at that place, I didn't build her factory for nothing; moreover, there are other things hidden there.

Hidden other things? You mean there's a secret passage under that factory that one can walk through?

Exactly; back then I left a hidden tunnel for her under the factory, and from there you can directly leave the suburbs, so that place is fundamentally very safe; as long as someone can keep watch around, I believe there will still be time to get away.
