The Scheming Billionaire's Heartfelt Devotion-Chapter 865 - 880: They Have Guns

Qi Shangyu pulled a bitter smile but got up and left without saying anything.

After the office door closed, Zhong Li raised her head. Although Qi Shangyu had sincerely apologized, she still couldn’t forgive him.

If Lu Jinghan hadn’t found Gu Nanxi that day, she couldn’t bear to imagine what could have happened next.

......

In the afternoon board meeting, not only were all the shareholders present, but even the company’s executives were all there.

Qi Weidong sat up straight, looking at everyone present: "The main purpose of today’s meeting is to announce personnel changes. Qi Shangyu has been transferred to a branch abroad. The position of president will be taken over by Zhong Li. I hope everyone will actively cooperate with Zhong Li’s work in the future and help the company prosper."

Once Qi Weidong finished speaking, the meeting room erupted in applause.

Zhong Li stood up from her chair with a smile and began to speak: "Thank you all, especially the shareholders, for coming to this meeting, as well as all my colleagues present. We’ve been working together for such a long time, and I hope everyone will continue to support my work in the future."

Qi Shangyu sat calmly in his seat, his face showing no emotion. By now, he had completely accepted everything.

Accepted Zhong Li as his nominal sister, accepted being transferred to a branch company.

After the meeting, Assistant Wang leaned close to Zhong Li and whispered, "I feel a bit sorry for President Qi."

Assistant Wang had no idea about Qi Shangyu and Li Jiaxue kidnapping Gu Nanxi.

Zhong Li just smiled without saying anything. There’s a saying that pitiful people must have something despicable about them.

"Want to treat me to dinner tonight? As a celebration for your promotion to my boss?"

Zhong Li rolled her eyes in exasperation: "Fine, let’s invite the other colleagues too."

"Got it, I’ll go inform them right away." With that, Assistant Wang dashed out of the meeting room.

Qi Weidong chatted briefly with the company’s board members before heading home. Although Yu Lu had already recovered, Qi Weidong still wasn’t comfortable leaving her home alone.

.......

After getting off work in the evening, Zhong Li sent Gu Nanxi a WeChat message, saying that she was going out for dinner with colleagues that night and that he shouldn’t wait up for her.

Assistant Wang got in the elevator with Zhong Li and hesitated for a few seconds before speaking: "Should we invite President Qi along?"

"Forget it, he probably wouldn’t want to come."

"Alright then."

Assistant Wang understood why Qi Shangyu wouldn’t want to come. After all, having the woman he liked suddenly turn into his half-sister would be tough for anyone to handle.

Once out of the elevator, Zhong Li got directly into Assistant Wang’s car. By the time they reached the restaurant, everyone else had already arrived.

After ordering, everyone casually chatted in the private room, completely at ease without being formal due to Zhong Li’s new position, as they’d worked together for so long and had good relationships.

Midway through the meal, Zhong Li went to the restroom, and upon returning, she was busy texting Gu Nanxi and accidentally bumped into someone.

"I’m sorry, really sorry, you didn’t..."

"Please help me get this camera to the TV station or the police. Inside are photos of human traffickers kidnapping children. They’re after me; you need to hide quickly. No matter what happens, don’t come out. They have guns."

The man’s panicked eyes pleaded, his pale face already sweating. Likely from running continuously, he was panting heavily.
