Legend Of Dragon Lord

chapter 57 Complicated Feelings

Before Frank finished, Cecilia said directly, "No way!"

"That's not what I mean." She realized that she said the wrong words upon the utterance of them. She

rushed to correct her words, but the more she did that, the more embarrassed she felt. Especially when

facing his meaningful look, how she wished she had burrowed into a crack in the floor, if any.

"Frank, I have nothing at all now."

She calmed down. Thinking of her current situation, she couldn't help mocking herself. "I've cut all ties

with the Chu Family and all the cashes of the Fallen-city Corporate have been used to compensate it."

Frank said to himself with a frown, she must be foolish. During this period, Fate of Beauty sold like hot

cakes and brought in at least over billions of yuan. But she should give them all to the Chu Family!

"Don't give me that look!" she bit her lip. "I'm gonna pay you back, pro rata."

Frank shrugged his shoulders, thinking that he didn't care about money.

"I know you don't care about it." She laughed at herself, "But I care."

She continued before he spoke, "Both you and I know the current situation of the Fallen-city Corporate.

Without your help, it will surely collapse and I will become penniless and face miserable fate."

She looked up as she spoke and said firmly, "So I can't cancel the engagement with you. Please!"

As long as they were still engaged, ordinary people dared not do anything to make things worse. If

given time, she was surely to bring the company back on track in a short time.

She knew that it was better not to always rely on others. But at that moment, she had no choice.

"Are you serious?" Frank said with a frown. He didn't care about whether the engagement was

canceled or not. The reason why he came up with the suggestion was that he wanted to avoid some

unnecessary troubles. Besides, he didn't want to have anything to do with the Ye Family.

"Of course." She bit her lip again and showed firmness on her pretty face. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

In fact, she could be desperate. In order to break off relationship with the Chu Family, she abandoned

enormous assets of nearly dozens of billions of yuan. It didn't matter if the company went bankrupt.

Since she could set up the Fallen-city Corporate, she wouldn't starve to death.

However, she was unwilling to cancel the engagement.

Maybe that was the only bond between them.

In that period when he left, almost everyday, she was recalling the short days on which she got on with

him. He came to her quickly like heroic and skillful armies and helped her when she felt most helpless.

As she kept thinking about him, she felt he was in her heart.

She was not sure whether that was love or not. But she was very terrified, down and sad at the thought

of being a stranger to him later on.

She decided to seize her happiness so she moved her company to Peking.

She intended to get along with him. After realizing her feelings for him, she would do anything to chase

him whether he accepted it or not.

Her arrogance, stubbornness and pride all faded away before him.

"All right." Facing her firm eyes, he couldn't refuse.

The situation twisted when they were discussing about the problem.

First of all, all the inspectors of different departments in the Fallen-city Corporate withdrew and then

Patent Office exposed the real patent owner. On the official military blog, the company was lavished

praise on for its charitable deed of providing the people's soldiers with drugs. Meanwhile, it was

announced as the partner for military procurement of drugs.

Countless people didn't believe what they saw. In a flash, an intense debate went on online about the

secret reasons for the shocking twist.

There was more astounding news than those.

The descendants of Wong Family who had accused the company of infringing their patent right used a

video to expose behind-the-scenes schemes that they were paid ten millions of yuan to put on a show.

Then, Matthew appeared in public.

After that, in official circles of Peking, a large number of officials of departmental level and below were

under investigation at appointed duration and place. With careful inquiry, it was easy to find that they

were those who had once ordered an investigation to the Fallen-city Corporate.

But that's not all.

People's Daily criticized illegal dealers for monopolizing drugs and drove up prices. Just less than half

an hour, some merchants in various regions were under investigation. Special procedures of the court

were started so they would end up in prison.

Police sirens kept wailing outside the workshops of Donghaiand the Fallen-city Corporate. Many people

were handcuffed and taken to police cars. Meanwhile, some were secretly led away in the name of

committing a crime of espionage.

As darkness fell, things came to a close.

From morning to night, the secret fight lasted less than ten hours. Netizens were inundated with various

news.

However, how they felt about the news didn't matter. The seemingly short fight made innumerable

people behind the scenes terrified including...

GL Club, Peking.

The atmosphere was suffocating although it was the same private room, tea bar and people.

"Richard, my family members have warned me." Hunter said slowly with a pained look.

Billy said with a wry smile, "You were just warned while I was excluded by my family and not allowed to

use family connections in five years. I was given thousands of millions to sink or swim."

Richard said with a frown, "I'm gonna add billions of yuan to the total amount, then you can make your

way in the world."

"It's not that simple." Billy again permitted himself a wry smile. If a problem could be solved with money,

it wouldn't be called a "problem".

"You'd better be grateful." Hunter glanced at him. "You're lucky to know Richard. If it were someone

else, he wouldn't care whether you're alive or dead."

It was an unpleasant yet honest remark.

It was very kind of Richard to donate that large sum of money for getting him out of trouble.

Billy clenched his right fist with left hand over it. "Thanks."

Richard said with a frown, "You're welcome 'cause we're friends. Essentially, it was I who got you into

trouble."

He never expected that Frank should fight back so quickly and fiercely. Luckily, they didn't show up, or

they might have not stayed for tea.

"Matthew is dead meat this time." Hunter said with a gloat, "That guy is disfigured and in treatment

now. His venture capital is targeted by relevant departments. There must be something wrong with it."

"He's gonna have an accident even if those things don't happen. It's just a matter of time. But he serves

as a shield for us this time. Otherwise, we won't feel so easy and comfortable." Billy said casually, kind

of sorry for him.

If these second-rich-generation kids were really under investigation, something must have been wrong

with them.

At a critical moment, the problems they encounter in ordinary times would decide their life and death.

"If we can help them, we should try to do it. But if we can't, just forget it." Richard said slowly and then

added, "That's all for today. If you have things to do, go ahead."
