Chapter 1276: Everything Is Yours, I Am Yours

"Stop feeding me useless talk; that restaurant is mine now."

"It's yours, it's yours, it's all yours! I am all yours!"

Wang Yong beamed as he welcomed Shi Ran; what was one restaurant worth?

Compared to his niece, it wasn't even worth mentioning; even if he gave away ten restaurants, he wouldn't even blink.

Liu Fengchao was also happy, smiling until his eyes were mere slits: "This is what you said, you can't go back on it!"

Presidential Palace.

After the meeting adjourned, the first thing Qi Heng did was go to see Shi Ran.

Before he even reached the door, he saw the bodyguards looking grim, and an ominous premonition washed over him.

"What is going on, hmm?"

Seeing the President had returned, the bodyguards trembled so hard their legs shook like chaff: "President, your subordinates have failed in their duty..."

"President, it is not our fault!"

"What happened to Ranran?"

His expression shifted; he pushed the door open and entered, only to see "Shi Ran" sitting with her back to him, while the caregivers knelt on the floor, their faces ashen.

"Ranran..."

Just as he called out, "Shi Ran" turned around.

"Ah! Why is it you?"

Qi Heng's expression also changed; he quickly realized what had happened!

Liu Min had let Shi Ran go, and the person who had caused the scene earlier was undoubtedly Wang Yong.

The Secretary was a man who had followed his father for years and had seen great storms and waves; if it weren't for someone extraordinary causing trouble outside, how could he have had that expression?

He felt such hatred.

He hated his own momentary lapse that allowed Liu Min to exploit the opening.

"A Heng, listen to my explanation..."

Qi Heng grabbed her by the throat, his eyes flashing with murderous intent: "Aren't you known as the Female Yama? Then go explain yourself to the King of Hell; you don't need to explain to me."

"Let go of me, I can't breathe!" Her voice grew weaker, and breathing became increasingly difficult.

Her eyeballs bulged, her face flushed red, and her consciousness seemed as if it were about to fly out of her body.

Tears streamed from the corners of her eyes; she couldn't believe this was real.

If Liu Min was in despair at this moment, then even more desperate things were yet to come.

Qi Heng sneered at her: "Stupid woman, did you really think your father died at the hands of Zhu Qingrui? He died at my hands!"

"I was always worried about what would happen if you found out the truth, but now I don't have to worry anymore. You are about to go to hell to reunite with your father; you two can finally be together..."

Liu Min's eyes rolled back, her head tilted to the side, and her hands, which had been gripping him tightly, went limp.

He released his grip, and the woman collapsed onto the floor, soft and lifeless.

Qi Heng grabbed a bedsheet and wiped his hands vigorously!

He had tolerated this woman, Liu Min, for a long time.

A toad lusting after swan meat—it turns out that isn't just a phrase to describe men coveting women they can't have.

It is equally effective for describing a woman's delusional fantasies!

He called for people to come in, take Liu Min out, find a deserted spot, and bury her so no one would discover her.

The bodyguards at the door were his own men; they were efficient, and this little task was a piece of cake for them.

"Yes."

Seeing Liu Min lying on the floor, the bodyguards were startled, but they still carried out the President's order.

The body was stuffed into a sack, and just as they were preparing to carry it out, Qi Heng suddenly changed his mind: "Wait, you do this, and this..."

A heavy rain began to fall from the sky.

It was so heavy it felt like it was being poured down from basins; the rain was intense, and visibility was very low.

The heavy rain was accompanied by strong winds that made it impossible for people to open their eyes.

The harsh weather outside did not affect the atmosphere inside the building in the slightest.

In the luxurious and imposing white building, servants bustled about, and the kitchen was a hive of busy, heated activity.

The eldest miss had been successfully rescued, and according to the building's custom, good news called for a celebration!

Shi Ran being safe and sound was the greatest piece of good news; it had to be celebrated grandly.

Wang Yong and Liu Fengchao had their arms around each other's shoulders, clinking glasses and acting like brothers!

Their relationship had never been this harmonious before.

Wang Yong found Liu Fengchao much more agreeable now; even though he had lost a restaurant, he still found him much more agreeable.

Who else had the ability to trick a Commander with military power into switching sides with just a few words?

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he wouldn't have believed it no matter what.

Now he believed it, and he admired him to the point of prostration.

"Brother, from today on, you are my brother, Wang Yong. If you have trouble, it is my trouble..." Wang Yong promised, patting his chest.

Liu Fengchao, as always, seized the opportunity; he certainly wouldn't let such a chance slip by.

He deployed his flattery skills, heaping praise upon Wang Yong until he made him sound like the greatest man in existence.

Whether it was sincere or not didn't matter; the atmosphere at the table was very harmonious—so harmonious that they didn't even notice when Shi Ran left the table.

She had returned to her room.

Although the banquet was held to celebrate her rescue, Shi Ran couldn't feel happy at all; there was nothing to celebrate. Her husband's fate was unknown, and her heart was entirely preoccupied with him.

If it weren't for this hellish weather, she would have gone out to sea to search for him herself.

The news coming from the sea is both good and bad.

The good news is that the plane has been found; only the tail wing was hit by a shell, the seat ejected, and the person successfully escaped with a parachute!

The bad news is that it is unknown where they drifted; the maritime rescue team has already arrived at the nearby waters at the first opportunity and is searching intensely.

Shi Ran stands by the window, silently praying for her husband.

Praying that her husband is safe and sound, and that the two can reunite soon.

With things on her mind, the air in the room feels thin, as if it is not enough.

She feels a tightness in her chest, so she pushes open the window.

Ugh!

Who is there?

In the rainstorm, voices drift over.

It is not heard very clearly, but it seems to be related to Liu Min.

"What a pity," "Commander Liu," "dead," "hurry up," "put it down and leave"—these words reach Shi Ran's ears.

She immediately leaves the room, goes to the dining room, and whispers a few words in Wang Yong's ear.

"You few follow me, the rest of you stay put, don't alert the enemy." Wang Yong wakes up instantly; the slight drunkenness he had just a moment ago vanishes the second he hears that something seems to have happened to Liu Min.

After they go out, they quickly find Liu Min, who has been dumped behind the building in the rainstorm.

Wang Yong places his hand on her carotid artery; there is still a faint pulse.

It is very faint; if one did not observe carefully, one would not notice it!

He picks her up and runs back quickly.

Liu Min is placed in Wang Yong's room, the best room in the Xiaobai building, and also the safest room.

A doctor is invited over at the first opportunity; it is Wang Yong's family doctor, who is also a trusted confidant.

The news that Liu Min is still alive will not be spread.

Wang Yong's doctor mainly treats knife and gunshot wounds; being choked into a state of suspended animation also falls within his range of capabilities.

"Boss, rest assured, she is fine. The reason she is unconscious now is because of extreme anxiety and excessive grief..."

"Stop throwing those terms at me; I don't understand them. Just tell me when she will wake up."

Doctor: "She can wake up today."

He wants to stay and take care of her personally, but is chased out by Shi Ran.

Although Wang Yong is old enough to be Liu Min's father, after all, men and women should keep their distance; it is inconvenient for a girl to be cared for by him.

"Hehe, my niece is right. Then this young girl is left to you; you take good care of her." He prepares to go out, still looking reluctant.
