Forced to Date a Big Shot - Chapter 510
Chapter 510: If I Go, Who Will Stop Me?
Xue Xi did not know that Xiang Huai’s fingers were currently on the keyboard, typing codes furiously. Not only did he prevent Nicholas from intruding, but he also interfered with his calls to Xue Xi.
The two hackers exchanged blows. As Nicholas was the attacker and Xiang Huai was the defender, Nicholas was at a disadvantage.
After fighting for an hour, Nicholas gave up and established a channel to talk to Xiang Huai.
Nicholas said, “Xiang, are you so afraid that I’ll convince her to go?”
Xiang Huai leaned back in his chair with a sharp gaze. “I’m not afraid.”
Nicholas said, “Then why don’t you let me talk to Ms. Xue for a while longer?”
Xiang Huai said coldly, “You’re delaying her studies.”
“…”
After a moment of silence, Nicholas said, “Xiang, let go. It’s unfair to trap her by your side. Do you think she’s really happy?”
His words were like a knife stabbing into Xiang Huai’s heart, causing his eyes to turn even colder. “You can’t bear the price of angering me.”
Nicholas continued, “Then let me ask you a question. Are you keeping her here for China’s sake or for yourself? She never had a choice. If you really like her, you have to give her freedom. Xiang, you don’t love her at all, do you?”
Xiang Huai placed his fingers on the table, anger brewing in his eyes.
Nicholas continued, “Besides, I’m the only one who can give her what she wants right now.”
Xiang Huai interrupted him. “Victoria’s Secret Peninsula, coordinates 60E, 230N.”
His words made Nicholas stop chattering. He sounded anxious. “Xiang, what are you doing? That is Country M’s secret base!”
Xiang Huai said slowly but firmly, “If I go, do you dare stop me?”
Before Nicholas could answer, he scoffed. “Wrong. It should be if I go, CAN you stop me?”
Nicholas was silent. After a moment, he said, “We made a peace agreement.”
Xiang Huai lowered his eyes. “You destroyed my family first. It’s reasonable for me to take revenge on you.”
Nicholas exclaimed, “That’s Ms. Xue, not your family.”
“Wrong.” At the mention of Xue Xi, Xiang Huai’s voice finally became gentle. “She’s my little one.”
“…”
Nicholas, who was being fed dog food for no reason, was speechless.
Nicholas took a deep breath. “What exactly do you want?”
Xiang Huai said calmly, “I want to buy a mountain from you.”
Nicholas instantly understood that Xiang Huai was going to buy the mountain where the raw materials for producing nerve acid were. He said, “The price can’t be cheap.”
Xiang Huai said, “I didn’t ask about buying it cheaply. I’ll buy it at the original price.”
Nicholas said, “Country M has a limit on the number of Chinese imports!”
After all, in the entire world, only Country M had this mineral. External trade had to be limited.
Xiang Huai said coldly, “That’s your problem.”
He was already paying for it. If Nicholas didn’t sell it, he wouldn’t give him face. He would have a reason to destroy Victoria’s Secret Peninsula!
Nicholas understood this and gritted his teeth. In order not to offend the Devil, he said fiercely, “Okay, deal!”
After the deal, he was still unwilling to give up. Hence, he said something heartbreaking. “Xiang, why are you so angry? Do you not think Ms. Xue will still love you without that restriction?”
Beep, beep, beep…
Xiang Huai hung up.
Jing Fei, who was standing in front of him, exclaimed, “Boss! Do you know how much it costs to buy a mountain? It costs 200 billion!! How can you casually buy it!”
Xiang Huai looked at him coldly and slowly said, “Someone will have to pay for this matter sooner or later.”
In the past, when it came to such matters, medicine that involved life and death would eventually be covered by medical insurance.
So it was either him or someone else.
Jing Fei sighed and immediately gloated. “Qian Xin is probably going to cry that he’s poor again! Hahahahaha!”
Xiang Huai: “…”
Just as Jing Fei was about to watch the commotion, Xiang Huai suddenly asked, “Are you very free?”
Jing Fei was stunned. “Huh?”
Xiang Huai said coldly, “Have you solved the case of Liu Zhao’s murderer?”
Jing Fei immediately said, “No, those people are too mysterious. They’re like loaches hiding in Huaxia University. I can’t catch them no matter what.”
Xiang Huai cursed angrily, “Useless.”
Jing Fei immediately said, “I’m innocent!”
Xiang Huai sneered. “Even with you around, Xue Xi still met with an accident during the incident with Jin Peng. In what way are you innocent?”
Jing Fei lowered his head and muttered to himself, “Boss, you still have the cheek to mention Jin Peng. You clearly know that he’s not one of those people and is just an ordinary person, yet you still want me to catch him. Isn’t that a waste of my talent?”
Xiang Huai: “Liu Zhao’s case has to be concluded and revealed to the public.”
Jing Fei shut his mouth.
After the video of Liu Zhao being killed was released, the Internet had exploded. It was difficult for them to keep the peace.
Jing Fei cleverly thought of the theory of drugs. Moreover, there was indeed such a thing at the university, but it was not under his jurisdiction.
Now that Jin Peng was arrested, Liu Zhao’s case seemed to be closed on the surface. It could be considered a perfect ending.
But actually…
Jing Fei coughed and stole a glance at Xiang Huai’s expression. “Boss, you’re in a bad mood and you’re angry at me… Don’t look at me. I’m so scared. I’ll go to Huaxia University now!”
The moment Xiang Huai raised his mouse and smashed it at him, Jing Fei rushed out of the room.
After he left, the calm Xiang Huai suddenly leaned back in his chair. He stared at the mouse and slowly put down his weak hand.
‘Yes.’
Inside him, there was a strong sense of helplessness toward the little kid.
The usually calm and collected person was now distraught.
He admitted he was stung by Nicholas’s words.
The little kid never gave in about going abroad, no matter what temptation she faced, even when it involved her studies. But when Nicholas said he could remove that restriction, she fell silent.
The five seconds of silence was torture for him.
Between him and the little kid, he had always been the one taking the initiative while she was the one being passive. Moreover, she would always push him away without understanding the situation…
A sense of defeat that he had never felt before welled up in his heart.
His phone rang again.
He took a look and realized that it was the little kid. He reached out and hung up.
He was also a human. After more than a year of chasing, coupled with today’s incident, he was at a loss.
In her heart, was he a pervert who’d forced her?
These thoughts stabbed into his heart like a needle. The more he struggled, the deeper he was stabbed…
Time ticked by. He sat in the basement in a daze for a very long time.
When the sky turned dark, he stood up. His back, which had been stiff all this while, now felt a little lonely.
He found his car in the parking lot. After pressing the keys, he suddenly noticed a familiar figure standing beside the car.
Xiang Huai was stunned.
