Was it that beautiful woman? Since Xiao Nuo had appeared very suddenly, he had not had the chance to investigate her identity. It looked like that woman had an interesting background to have bodyguards protecting her in secret.

The man with the knife scar waved his hand and gave an order to the men in black shirts. "Search carefully, I will not allow any backup to get out!"

With great professionalism, the men in the black shirts searched the Passat inside out, including Lu Jianren’s cellphone. After they confirmed that they had not missed anything, they shook their head toward the man with the knife scar.

"Brother Scar, we’ve searched everything and confirmed that there are no backups!"

It was only then that the man with the scar nodded his head with satisfaction. He turned and walked toward the Rolls Royce Phantom, which no one had yet come out of. Reaching the car, he bowed respectfully and held up the camera.

The car window rolled down slowly, revealing a pair of long, pale, and slender hands reaching for the camera.

Respectfully, the scarred man asked, "What about the man?"

"Find out who his employer is and let him know that there are some people he cannot afford to offend."

The woman in the car gave the order lightly and the window once again rolled up.

The scarred man turned and an icy cold light shot out of his half-closed eyes, shattering Lu Jianren’s courage. Crying, he begged, "Brother, I don’t know who my employer is. He came to handle the commission wearing a face mask and sunglasses."

"Are you not a private detective? Given your level of professionalism, it shouldn’t be hard for you to find out your employer’s identity, right? You are a clever man, you should know what to do, right?"

The scarred man’s expression was indifferent but his tone carried a rich and unquestionable threat!

Lu Jianren swallowed his saliva and said, with a bitter expression. "Bro, once I’ve betrayed my employer, how will I continue in this profession?"

"Then continue working your job, just be careful that your entire family is not put into sacks and sunk into the river."

An icy smile appeared at the corner of the scarred man’s mouth and he walked confidently toward the Hummer.

"Do... don’t, brother, I... I will do my best."

Lu Jianren’s courage had been broken and he cried out in a trembling voice. The murderous intent on the scarred man’s body made him believe that he was not joking at all. What professional integrity? In the face of the lives of his entire family, it was nothing more than a drifting cloud.

"I’ll give you one day. At this time tomorrow, I will contact you again. If do you well, we will not treat you badly. I will double whatever commission that person gave you."

The scarred man paused and spoke indifferently without even turning his head. Without waiting for Lu Jianren to speak, he climbed into the car, escorted by a few men in black.

"Don’t worry, I promise to investigate his family for eight generations."

Hearing that his price would be doubled, the fear on Lu Jianren’s face immediately turned to joy. Happily, he shouted toward the Hummer, whose engine was already running.

He did not care whether the scarred man could hear him and excitedly waved his fist. This was truly light in the dark, a chance to redeem himself.

For someone like him who ran in the detective profession, reputation was very important. Once the news of him selling out his employer got out, he would not be able to remain in these circles.

But there was one special situation in the profession that allowed one to make much of and take a strike from the side. Although it was still a bit unethical, it could work. This was an unwritten rule within the profession.

That situation was when the employer and the side being investigated both sought out a detective to investigate each other at the same time. Under these circumstances, the two could be treated as individual cases. He provided services to whoever paid the higher price and there was no such thing as having sold out an employer.

All he had to do was to forge a commission from the scarred man. This was why Lu Jianren became happy and begun to hum a little tune as he wondered how to make this work perfectly. This was a two million dollar case, after all.

Inside the Rolls Royce Phantom, a stunningly beautiful woman wearing a silver business suit played with the camera in her hands. Looking at the pictures inside, a spoiled expression flashed through her eyes and she covered her mouth as she laughed gently.

"His taste is not bad, just a bit of a coward. He even made the girl take the lead in teasing and flirting, he needs a spine. However, this is what makes him my brother. He’s so careful with accounting that he even saved on money in getting a room. He knows how to live his life."

The simple and honest looking middle-aged driver wore white gloves and focused on driving the car. The female assistant sitting upright in the passenger seat turned her head and asked politely across the separating glass through the intercom.

"Chairman, should we return to the corporation or go somewhere else?"

The woman in the suit sat up straight and emanated a forceful aura of a powerful woman in the commerce world. In a low voice, she said, "Cancel all appointments at the office. Return to my home."

Tang Chen’s top target to move into their apartment was a prominent figure at the peak of the world. With each meter-squared priced at 150,000, it made a billionaire on the Forbes list become their main source of clientele.

Inside Tang Chen’s sea view garden, inside the 44th-floor mansion of 1,200 square meters, the suit-wearing woman had already changed into casual pajamas. She stood with bare feet in front of the floor-to-ceiling window and glanced at the river below.

She rang a number on the limited edition cellphone in her hand. She spoke quietly as soon as the line connected. "Mom, I saw brother."

"Is... is he doing well? Is he being bullied? Is he like how he was on the screen? Is he fatter or thinner?"

There was a pause on the other end of the line before there came the sound of a woman’s urgent and excited voice. She asked questions in rapid fire mode and at the end, her voice had begun to choke up.

"Yes, he’s looking very handsome and even beautiful women are chasing him. She even got him drunk and went to get a room, she even paid for it. He sure knows how to live, right? Hehe, no wonder he is your son."

The woman’s eyes were slightly red but she still joked with a slight smile.

Only she knew what kind of torment the woman at the other end of the phone had lived through these few years. Faced with commercial enemies, the person in charge of the business mothership was always powerful, harsh, decisive, ruthless, heartless, and tyrannical, she was always another word for elegance, sophistication, dignified, beautiful, and confident. An invulnerable business goddess.

She was her only idol growing up, her closest family, and the target she worked hard to catch up to.

When dealing with business matters, she could always maintain her reasoning and clarity no matter the pressure or difficulty. She would sink into a cold calmness and bring forth solutions. She had never lost her self-control in any matter.

Ding Ning was her only weakness and the only person who can make her anxious and lose her self-control, however, she was not jealous. She knew the bitterness in her godmother’s heart.

All these years, godmother had been like a never-tiring and exquisite running overloaded, using it to numb herself, to hide the weakness and longing in her heart.

Countless nights, she, when she had been a child, could always hear a faint crying sound from her godmother’s room where the lights were never extinguished. This became her motivation in her youth to work hard, she wanted to help her godmother realize her desires.

Even when godmother had vaguely hinted that she had decided on her as his child bride, it had not created much disturbance in her heart.

After all, she could never repay what she owed her godmother in this life. She existed to repay her debt of gratitude.

Each person has a price. As an orphaned girl, her godmother had saved her when she was faced with death and had given her warmth, a sense of family, and living conditions that she had never experienced before. She had also used all her resources to raise her. From that moment on, she thought of her as her real mother.

Even though she knew she was only a replacement, that she was only that boy’s support and replacement, she was satisfied and very grateful. Without her godmother, she would have long become a pile of bones beneath the soil.

"Qianlie, he’s at the wildest time of his youth, flirting is very normal. Don’t take it too heart. I know, it’s not easy on you."

The woman across from her had a sensitive heart. When she was overly excited, she became concerned about bringing in a child to raise as a bride.

"Mom, why would I care about such things? I’ve seen plenty these few years, which talented man doesn’t have multiple women? Brother is so handsome, it would be strange if women didn’t throw themselves at him, hehe."

Ding Qianlie was the girl’s name. In the past, she did not understand why her godmother did not allow her to take her surname and instead had her named Ding and why she had also given her such a strange name.

Later, she slowly learned that the man that her godmother missed was surnamed Ding.

She was very curious as to what kind of man could make her godmother, a goddess who possessed essentially all positive feminine traits, fall in love and to keep herself pure for him and refuse to remarry.

Unfortunately, her godmother’s mouth was shut tight and she never revealed his name. However, whenever she spoke of him, a fond sweetness and a content nostalgia would rise to the corners of her mouth.

This made the man the most mysterious figure during her growing years. He must be as handsome as her brother, right?

Ding Qianlie’s full, glossy, and red lips parted slightly, revealing a mouthful of white teeth and a shallow curve tugged at the corners of here mouth.

"Qianlie, help me look after him, please."

The woman on the other end has never spoken about something in such a serious tone.

"Mom, what are you talking about? He’s my brother as well as my... future husband, how could I not help him?"

A blush-like pink rose on Ding Qianlie’s beautiful face. Embarrassed to be discussing this topic, she quickly changed the subject. "Right, mom, don’t you want to see him?"

"I... Of course, I want to see him but... never mind. Send me his pictures. Now isn’t the right time."

Women carried a powerful desire and an almost homesick timidness. She had not seen her son for over 20 years, how could she not want to see him? If she could, she would immediately rush to Ninghai and envelop him in her embrace, making up for everything she owed him.

But... there were far too many obstacles for her to act so willfully. In the end, logic won over emotions.

"I can’t go see him yet. Seeing him right now does nothing good for him, it might even hurt him. Qianlie, try not to interfere too much with his life, just protect him from the sidelines. It would best if he did not notice it, to prevent the suspicions of those with agendas. Also, you must remember, our relationship must be kept secret."

"I know. Don’t worry, I will be careful. I’ll send you the photos now."

Ding Qianlie spoke gently. More than 20 years of bitter longing yet she was unable to acknowledge him. Qianlie understood her tangled emotions and thus knew how powerful the forces who were watching hungrily from the darkness were.

Even though she was now the leader of Longteng Corporation with the stocks of many large-scale businesses held secretly in her hand and had a personal value of over 10 billion dollars, she still could not challenge those forces.

After she finished sending the photos, Ding Qianlie picked up a cup of red wine and leaned against an Italian handmade sofa of genuine leather as she sat on a carpet of swan’s down, and slowly savored the lingering sweetness of the red wine.

Her waterfall of hair was loose and covered her bright forehead. Her eyes, bright as stars, shone with light under the noon light. She looked elegant and mysterious.

Brother was just a doctor. Although he had some fame, surely it was not enough for others to target him? Who was it that wanted to hurt him?

An icy light flashed through the star-bright eyes. No matter who wanted to hurt him, she would make them pay a terrible price. Ding Ning was her godmother and her most protective subject.
