The black gold door behind him was slowly closed from the outside.
Shen Chaoxi tilted her head, retracted her gaze, and looked forward.
In the study room, where the majestic atmosphere seemed oppressive, a golden toad jade inlaid with black gold and fine carvings was conspicuously placed in front of the desk.
What then caught Shen Chaoxi's eyes was an old wrist wearing black Buddhist beads. In Dongzhou, the helmsman of W Group was called "Lafayette."
It is said that when he was young, he relied on his skills to conquer Dongzhou's family business with ruthless methods. He took countless lives at his hands and committed murder, which led to the tragic deaths of his two children at the hands of his enemies.
As the Buddha said, killing is a serious sin and requires a golden basin to wash hands, put down the butcher knife, and spend the rest of his life to repent, so he always carries a string of black beads on his right hand, and his wrist is covered with veins and fine lines.
"Yes." Lafayette's voice was rich, with a hint of age.
What did not match his serious face was his pair of deep black eyes, which looked like half-lengths of ancient rotten wood found under the roots of a tree filled with dead leaves.
"I heard that you took people to Shacheng. Did you gain anything?"
This is probably the majesty of his high position at the helm. Even in his seventies, sitting inside the group without going to Shacheng in person, he can still hear the news he wants from the forces under his control.
"You know it all."
Shen Chaoxi had no intention of hiding it, because she knew that the old man already knew everything.
Otherwise, as soon as she came back and stepped into the door of W Group headquarters, someone would not have told her that the old man had already been waiting here.
"Axi, don't you have anything to say to me about this matter?"
Lafayette's pair of dark, old eyes, with deep pupils, like dead wood, exuding an air of age, fell on her face.
Make eye contact with her.
At that moment, Shen Chaoxi's eyes darkened for a moment, she pursed her lips, lowered her head slightly, and said to Lafayette.
"You are blaming your granddaughter for killing Gong Xia Li privately in Shacheng without telling you in advance."
The eldest lady of the W Group has vicious hands, which is something that Lafayette really taught her.
She has been with Lafayette since she was a child. She learned to hold a gun at the age of five. She also killed hunting dogs and jackals alone in the Romiya jungle. For her, killing people is like ants.
Therefore, it was absolutely impossible for Gong Shenxi, a young lady with such a bad temper, to spare Gong Xia Li's life after Gong Xia Li planned to kill her.
From the moment she decides to kill, she doesn't care who the other person is.
Even if Gong Xia Li's mother is the adopted daughter in name by "grandpa", she will show no mercy at all!
But she knew that by killing Gong Xia Li, even if she could silence everyone who knew the whole truth about what happened in Shacheng that night and hide it from Gong Xia Li's mother and many people in the W Group, she would not be able to survive Lafayette. This level.
She couldn't hide it, and she couldn't hide it.
Just when Shen Chaoxi was standing in the study room, slightly pursed her lips, lowered her eyes, facing the imposing and imposing Lafayette, whose eyes were focused on her, she suddenly heard Lafayette's old and gruff voice. From in front of her came: "Wrong!"
Lafayette twisted the prayer beads in his hand and looked at her with a pair of dark eyes, "Axi, I have not trained you for so many years to teach you to bow your head."
"Man, you kill well."
As early as when she was still in Shacheng, Lafayette, who was the helmsman of W Group, had already received the news from Shacheng.
Naturally, we knew that Gong Xiali was also in Shacheng, and had used Shacheng's underground experiments to lure her, the granddaughter, in an attempt to kill her.
He knew everything, but he seemed to know nothing. No one could guess what this old Buddha was thinking.
Even knowing that his granddaughter might fall into a trap or be killed in Shacheng, he just sat firmly on the throne of W Group and calmly arranged for people to continue to watch.
He didn't believe that the people he had trained with his own hands would not be able to handle such a small crisis.
"As the eldest lady of W Group, you should have such ambitions!" He thought that she killed Gong Xiali this time because she wanted to remove her stumbling block within the group, just like Gong Xiali wanted to kill She then became the only second lady in W Group.
The corners of Lafayette's eyes covered with wrinkles and fine lines slowly lowered, and there was a sense of appreciation in his dark and old eyes.
He said: "Otherwise, I won't be able to trust you in handing over the entire W Group in the future."
Immediately, he played with the prayer beads in his hand, and his serious face showed a rare look of kindness.
"I heard from Amo that you were injured in Shacheng. Is the injury serious?"
It turned out that he had sent someone to ask Yu Mo a long time ago and had a clear understanding of her situation, so he would wait here for her to come and ask her personally.
"Thank you for your concern, old man. I'm fine." Shen Chaoxi still didn't dare to take it lightly.
The reason why she was his granddaughter but still often called him "old man" like an outsider was because he had strictly disciplined her when she was a child, and he was afraid that if someone knew her identity, they would attack her.
Therefore, this title of old man has become a habit until now.
Thinking of the injuries she sustained, Lafayette didn't ask her much about what happened in Shacheng. After all, he already knew it almost clearly. There was a glimmer of kindness in his eyes as he spoke to her.
"Okay, since you are back, you should go back and have a good rest."
At the end, he added another sentence and paused while twisting the prayer beads.
"Take good care of yourself."
"yes."
Shen Chaoxi thought that the old man would not tell her anything else here, so she responded, lowered her eyes, slowly took two steps back, and then turned around and went out.
At this time, the door was opened, and a girl wearing a dark purple tight leather trousers suit, earrings, sharp features, and a man's short hair pushed the door in from the outside.
She is Lafayette's right-hand man, her name is Amin, and there is no one in Yingdu who is not afraid of her.
Just when she came in, she saw Shen Chaoxi turning around to go out, her eyes darkened slightly and her eyes flickered.
Lower your head to show respect.
Shen Chaoxi passed her by.
The headquarters building of W Group is just like the luxurious high-rise area of Yingdu, a city full of gold-selling caves for people to have fun. It rises from the ground, majestic and spacious.
The transparent glass building is dazzling with lights day and night, as bright as day. The helicopter comes down from the high floor. Yu Mo, who is waiting in the lobby, sees the elevator door open and Shen Chaoxi walking out of the elevator. The moment he sees it, he She pursed her thin lips tightly, and her jawline, which had been tight since she came up, was obviously a little looser.
Shen Chaoxi didn't say anything, so he didn't ask any questions. He followed her to the first floor of the headquarters. When the elevator they took stopped and reached the first floor at the bottom of the group, Shen Chaoxi was stopped in the lobby. Way to go.
"Gong Shenxi!"
When Shen Chaoxi saw the person coming, she ignored him and pretended to leave. The man followed him and chased after him, opened his arms and cursed.
"Smelly woman, did you hear me calling you?"
Yu Mo was beside her, and his eyes turned cold when he saw the person coming forward and making a provocation.
He was about to take action immediately, but was stopped by Shen Chaoxi.
This is the group's headquarters. It's not good to have a conflict with him in public.
Unexpectedly, the other party seemed to think she was scared and asked her in a playful tone: "Gong Shenxi, where is my girlfriend Ali?"
The man just led someone to stand in front of her, took off his sunglasses and held them lazily in his hand. He smiled arrogantly, blocking the girl's way with his domineering attitude.
He is nicknamed "Second Master Guan" by insiders in W Group. He is Gong Xiali's boyfriend for many years. It is said that he started his business by opening an underground store. He is well-known in Dongzhou and is doing well.
Only the two of them, Gong Xia Li, have been eyeing her position as the eldest lady of the group. After all, with her here and with her as the true heir of W Group, no matter how big the group's property is, it will not fall into their hands.
Gong Xia Li wanted to get rid of her a long time ago.
But this so-called "Second Master" is very strange. In the group, he is always self-righteous, thinking that he is handsome and great. While he is in love with Gong Xia Li, he secretly harasses Gong Shenxi again and again. Maybe he thinks Gong Shenxi Xi is beautiful, and she has been with Gong Xiali for many years, and she is getting acquainted with her taste. Maybe she is tired of playing with each other, or maybe it is a man's bad nature that is hard to change, and he just likes to be a licking dog.
Eating from the bowl and looking into the pot.
But his licking was definitely not normal human licking. He took pleasure in antagonizing Gong Shenxi, or teaming up with his own girlfriend Gong Xiali to cause trouble for her, and toy with her for fun.
I don’t know where he got the courage.
"Your girlfriend, why did you come to me?" Faced with the man's rude words, Shen Chaoxi tugged her red lips, and moved her eyes to the man's face in a good-tempered manner, but looked at him a little more. Very impatient.
Since she had a car accident three years ago and almost died at the hands of Gong Xia Li, she has avoided conflicts with Gong Xia Liming since she came back. Although there will still be fights, calculations, and conflicts, at least it will not be like before. Then, on an occasion like today, fight against your opponent in full view of everyone.
So Gong Xia Li's "boyfriend" probably didn't know Gong Shen Xi's temper and nature, and thought she was very tolerant.
"Yo? Pretend, come on, keep pretending!"
When the man heard her words, he raised his eyebrows. He could not tell that he was worried about Gong Xia Li. He seemed to be using this excuse to deliberately cause trouble for Shen Chaoxi.
"Did you start the fire in the abandoned factory in Shacheng?"
The man seemed to have guessed something a long time ago. He was waiting here to block her.
"I can not understand what you say."
Shen Chaoxi's cold voice didn't even bother to give him a look, and turned sideways to leave.
As soon as he finished speaking, a trace of anger suddenly emerged from the man's eyebrows.
"Okay, you don't know, right? There are a lot of people in this world who know!" With a sullen smile on his face, he snapped his fingers at the people around him, and someone immediately brought a man in a black suit up.
It was the person beside Shen Chaoxi.
He was the driver who was supposed to drive for her when he came back from Shacheng that night.
But when Yu Mo saw that she was injured and in a bad mood, he asked the driver to take another car and he drove back himself.
At this moment, the driver was beaten until his nose was bruised and his face was swollen, and his body was covered in blood. He was brought to Shen Chaoxi.
Someone behind him kicked his knees violently, causing him to kneel down with a bang.
"Uh huh..." The black tape sealed his lips, and he could only make intermittent sounds.
This scene fell in Shen Chaoxi's eyes.
And this is a provocation to her!
