Tangling with the Western Commander

Chapter 319: Chapter 316: A Twist of Fate, Lu Xiao Arrives Chapter 319: Chapter 316: A Twist of Fate, Lu Xiao Arrives Li Tingze.

CEO of the Beijing Li New Energy Group.

Wen Xian tugged at the corner of her lips, saying, “Mr. Li is young and talented, thank you for the invitation, I’ll check my schedule.”

The man smiled, “Looking forward to seeing you again.”

Both were ready to leave, tidying up their things.

But at that moment, unnoticed by anyone, a silver USB-shaped object flashed through the air and slipped into a white LV bucket bag, vanishing from sight.

…
After getting off the plane, she headed to the parking lot with Huo Qi.

In her mind, Wen Xian couldn’t help but recall the man from the plane, especially how uncomfortable she felt when his gaze fixed on her.

Although he hadn’t done anything, the way he looked at her didn’t seem altogether innocent.

He even wanted to ask her out for coffee?

Over her dead body!

It wasn’t that she was narcissistic, but having been in the entertainment industry for many years, she was well aware of the kind of intentions most men harbored towards her.

And this man, most likely, saw her as his prey.

Her slender fingers rubbed the somewhat sore temples, as she decided not to think about this matter anymore.

When her hand reached into her bag to grab her cellphone, it unexpectedly brushed against something small and smooth.

She pulled it out and her brows immediately furrowed.

Was that a–USB drive?

How did it end up in her bag?

Could it have been left there by Sister Ling, concerning the script?

Without giving it much thought, Wen Xian proceeded as the car in the underground parking lot had been waiting for a while, and she, along with Huo Qi, hurriedly left in the car.

Yet, as she left, in another place.

Inside a Mercedes-Benz S-Class.

The atmosphere inside the car was suffused with a sinister pressure.

The driver and assistant in the front didn’t dare speak a word or even breathe too heavily.

“Search! It’s very likely that it was dropped on the plane, rummage through everything upside down! You must find my item!” the man in the backseat was far from his previous composure, angrily adjusting his tie while barking orders into the phone.

The assistant’s face lost all its color.

Who would have thought that their CEO could lose something so important?

It was a USB drive, and although it was fully encrypted, the loss still posed a significant risk.

Because it contained many things that should never see the light of day.

…
…
That very afternoon.

A plane took off and arrived at Beijing’s Capital Airport.

This time, upon landing, someone was there to meet him–after all, Beijing was his home, his territory.

A Hummer slowly pulled up to the curb, the driver with a cigarette dangling from his lips.

A man opened the door and stepped out, glancing at Lu Xiao and showing a hint of rogue upon his lips.

The two exchanged fist bumps, and Shen Lin said with a smirk, “It’s been too long. Let’s properly catch up this time, brother.”

But Lu Xiao was direct and unapologetic, “I don’t have the time; I’ve come back for an important matter.”

At these words, Shen Lin’s eyes narrowed slightly.

An important matter?

It must be something big, because in many cases, even when the sky falls, it wouldn’t count as a big deal for him.

He took out a cigarette, and Lu Xiao pulled one out and placed it between his lips, turning his head for Shen Lin to light it with the flame cupped in his hand.

With one drag, the smoke slowly billowed out from his nostrils.

Now, standing on Beijing’s ground, he truly felt like he was back home–everything here was extremely familiar.

Shen Lin.

He was his comrade and brother from his military days.
