King of Capital: From Unemployment to the Pinnacle of Life

"What happened? Where's Meiyun?!"

I asked in shock, while simultaneously covering my body with the blanket...

Seeing my actions, a trace of sadness flashed in Lin Lan's eyes... After all, we were the original couple years ago, but now we have to 'avoid suspicion'.

"cough!"

Lin Lan sighed, "Xiao Bo came looking for Mei Yun early this morning... Even though the Xu family has told Xiao Bo that Mei Yun is on a business trip, Xiao Bo doesn't believe it... He probably heard something, and he's waiting outside Mei Yun's house, determined to see her today and get to the bottom of things!"

"originally......"

Lin Lan shook her head and sighed, "It's fine that Mei Yun didn't come out... but after she woke up around 10 a.m., she knew Xiao Bo was outside and insisted on going out to break up with him... This drove Xiao Bo crazy. He gathered a couple hundred people and searched everywhere for you! If it weren't for my sister's bodyguards stopping them, they would have stormed in!"

Listening to Lin Lan's story, my head was buzzing...

In the voice message Xu Shaokun sent me last night, he assured me confidently that he would keep it strictly confidential and wouldn't let Xiao Bo know! So where did Xiao Bo get this information from?

"Did Xu Shaokun set me up?" I asked, frowning.

"No!"

Lin Lan frowned and shook her head: "He probably wouldn't! Because if the Yunbo Auto project fails, the Xu family will suffer enormous losses, which will directly affect Xu Shaokun's personal interests! He wouldn't be that stupid!"

"What about Xiaojuan? Is Xiaojuan alright?" I asked worriedly.

"Xiaojuan is alright!"

Lin Lan sighed and said, "Xiao Juan and Duo Duo are being protected very well... They have nothing to do with this, and Mei Yun is also being protected by her older sister, so you don't need to worry!"

Hearing Lin Lan say that, my tension eased a little...

"Who could have leaked the secret?"

I frowned, muttering to myself... and asked Lin Lan again, "Lin Lan, why are you here? How did you know about these things? Did Xu Meijuan send you?"

"No!"

Lin Lan frowned and shook her head, then reached out and took my hand: "Honey... it wasn't my older sister who sent me..."

"Don't call me husband!"

I pulled my hand away: "Get to the point! Don't bring up other things!"

"sorry!"

Lin Lan's tears fell in streams as she choked out, "Acheng... even though I'm not by your side, I've always been thinking of you! I have my own ways of getting information... but that's not important. What's important is... I can't let anything happen to you!"

"Where is Mei-Yun now?"

I was too lazy to listen to Lin Lan's explanation, so I asked anxiously.

"Meiyun has been taken to her eldest sister's house..."

Lin Lan said, "Xiao Bo suspects you're in here, so my older sister took Mei Yun to her place first to divert his attention... That way, Xiao Bo won't keep rushing in, right?"

"What about Teacher Sun?" I asked nervously again.

"Teacher Sun is alright, don't worry... Teacher Sun's house is behind my eldest sister's house. If they want to rush into Teacher Sun's house, they have to get into my eldest sister's house first..."

Lin Lan comforted him, "Xiao Bo is searching for you all over the world, and the area he suspects most is still Mei Yun's house..."

"damn it!"

I frowned and said, "That's strange! If someone saw me and Meiyun together last night... why didn't Xiao Bo come looking for us last night, but only came to confront us this morning?"

"Acheng!"

Lin Lan said seriously, "I suspect... it was Xu Meiwen who leaked the secret!"

"Xu Meiwen?"

I gasped, "Why...why would she leak the information? Isn't she a member of the Xu family?"

"cough!"

Lin Lan sighed, "Originally, Xu Shaokun and Xu Meiwen had a very close sibling relationship... you could even say they were inseparable! But... yesterday you and Meiyun almost sent Xu Jiayi away, and then Qiao Jingshu couldn't wait to produce the will... So, I suspect that Xu Meiwen knows she didn't get a penny after the old man's death, and she must be resentful! Therefore... she wants to muddy the waters!"

She paused, then continued, "Xu Meiwen is just like her mother—extremely jealous. She always thinks... if she can't have it, no one else can either! She always believed that after the old man died, she would definitely get shares, or at least... like her eldest, second, and third sisters, sharing the remaining 30% with Xu Shaokun and Xu Meiling. But yesterday's unexpected events showed her the truth..."

Lin Lan's reminder brought back some memories...

Yesterday, when Mei-yun and I took Xu Jia-yi to the operating room, Xu Mei-wen looked like a dead person, as if someone owed her money.

However, at that time... the matter of a will had not been publicly discussed.

Perhaps, the mother and her children already revealed their true intentions on the way here?

"Xu Jiayi has many similar IPO projects to Yunbo Auto across the country..."

Lin Lan sighed, "If the old man dies, and then these successive crises occur, it will create a domino effect, and the entire Xu family will be finished! Nobody will get anything!"

"Um......"

I nodded: "Lin Lan, so what's the meaning of you coming here? Forget about protecting me, you almost got blown up by a bomb yourself..."

"Acheng, I..."

Lin Lan lowered her head, twisting the hem of her clothes, tears streaming down her face. "I'm waiting for Song Guolong... waiting for him to come out and settle this matter. He's still in the provincial capital, on his way..."

My heart clenched again when she mentioned Song Guolong...

To date, Lin Lan and I have not confronted each other about Song Guolong.

Among the "love rivals" she set up for me, only Xu Shaokun was...

Now that things have come to this, she's finally willing to bring up Song Guolong...

"Lin Lan!"

I shook my head and sighed bitterly, "You! You've been hiding it so well! I originally thought... Xu Shaokun had stolen you away, but it turns out... you're the one who found a godfather, and Xu Shaokun was just a cuckold. You guys played this elaborate scheme so well! I've been fooled by you again and again like a complete idiot..."

"Acheng! I know you hate me..."

Lin Lan sniffed and said, "After you got together with my older sister, I knew... she would definitely tell you about this. But whether you hate me or resent me, I, Lin Lan... have never had the heart to harm you. The only person I've ever deeply loved is you!"

"Alright, alright!"

I waved my hand: "Let's not bring up this old, stale stuff anymore, okay? Have you thought about it... what would Song Guolong do if he found out that Duoduo is my child?"

Lin Lan wiped away her tears and sniffled, "I haven't thought about it. I'll just take it one step at a time..."

"snort!"

I sneered, "You seem to have it all easy! You never seem to care about other people's lives..."

"Acheng!"

Lin Lan looked at me earnestly with her red, tear-filled eyes: "I have my secrets and my own difficulties, which I can't reveal right now! But don't worry about one thing, I will absolutely not let anything happen to you!"

She had barely finished speaking when her phone rang.

Lin Lan took it out and saw that it was Song Guolong's phone...

"Feed? Dad!"

Lin Lan answered the phone: "Yes! I'm with Xiao Cheng, everything's fine... The villa is surrounded by bodyguards, they can't get in!"

......

Hearing Lin Lan call Song Guolong "Dad" made me feel even more fucking awkward!

You could even just call me "godfather"!

They come up here and immediately call me "Dad," as if I were their real father. It's disgusting!

Lin Lan said a few words to Song Guolong, then handed the phone to me: "He wants to talk to you..."

I frowned and took Lin Lan's phone: "Feed? Uncle Song!"

"Hahaha!"

On the other end of the phone, Song Guolong laughed heartily, "Song Cheng, Song Cheng! You little rascal...tsk tsk tsk! What can I say about you? I just heard yesterday...that your relationship with Meijuan is quite unusual, and today you're hanging out with Meiyun again? You're something else!"

"Uncle Song, this...?"

"hehe!"

Song Guolong laughed, "You truly are a member of the Song family! If I had a son like you, I'd be overjoyed! Alright, alright... Uncle will take care of this for you, don't worry!"

Hearing Song Guolong's words, I felt a warmth in my heart, but I was also even more confused!

Song Guolong, why are you helping me like this?

"Uncle Song, I'm sorry, I've caused you trouble..."

"Oh, it's nothing!"

Song Guolong laughed, "Xu Jiayi and Xiao Zhenjiang, those two good-for-nothings, always getting into trouble like that, I've wanted to teach them a lesson for a long time... Give the phone to Lanlan!"

I handed the phone back to Lin Lan, who chatted with Song Guolong for a few more minutes before hanging up.

"He'll be there in about ten minutes, Acheng, hurry up and get dressed!"

"Oh...you should step aside for a moment."

Lin Lan frowned, sighed sadly, and got up to leave Xu Meiyun's bedroom.

After I got dressed, I also turned on my phone!

Shortly after turning on the phone, I heard someone yelling outside the villa, "We have a signal! He's in here, get the signal!"
