When the marriage partner is my mortal enemy, I am scared

Chapter 417 Return to Wancheng

"What? Why didn't you tell me earlier? Don't you believe me?"

As early as when Chu He returned to Wancheng, Xiao Cheng had informed Sister Fang and asked her to secretly send someone to protect her.

But he didn't tell Chu He that she was pregnant. He didn't want too many people to know about it, and he didn't want Chu He to become a tool for others to use against him.

Sister Fang didn't hear any response and felt that her words were too harsh.

If she didn't trust him, she wouldn't have given Chu He to her for protection. This would have been her dereliction of duty. What qualifications did she have to question Xiao Cheng?

There was silence on the other end of the phone for a few seconds, and then Sister Fang spoke again: "I'm sorry, Cheng, I betrayed your trust. I didn't do what you asked me to do."

But what's the point of saying this now?

Xiao Cheng let out a breath and sat back in his chair, leaning his elbows on the armrests with his tall body hunched.

At this moment, the suffocating feeling in his heart kept surging out. He took a deep breath, raised his hand to wipe his face, and his voice was very hoarse.

"Okay, Sister Fang, stop talking. Keep an eye on the hospital and let me know if there's any news."

After hanging up the phone, Xiao Cheng lit a cigarette and took a few deep puffs.

The feud between him and Kang Yao has implicated Chu He for no reason, and things are likely to become more complicated.

At present, Kangyao has joined forces with some small companies in North America to suppress the stock price of HC Group. In just ten days, HC's market value in the stock market has shrunk by nearly 30%.

Stock market turmoil is enough to affect a country's economy. Judging from the trading situation in recent days, the government has already intervened and regulated, otherwise a financial crisis would surely be triggered.

In recent years, HC has dominated the North American investment community and has long been a thorn in the eyes of many people.

These small companies have been suppressed by Xiao Cheng for too long. Everyone is ambitious, not to mention that those who work in finance are gamblers at heart.

Faced with huge profits, who wouldn’t want to take a chance? Kang Yao took advantage of this.

Kang Yao set up a big game for him in North America. His purpose was not to destroy Xiao Cheng's company, but to lure the tiger away from the mountain and make it impossible for him to escape from North America, so that it would be easier for him to take action in Wancheng.

There are inflows and outflows in the stock market, and the only losses are money. Kang Yao knows that Xiao Cheng is not afraid of these, so he will attack the people he cares about.

Kang Yao is a madman, even crazier than when Xiao Cheng sent him to prison four years ago.

Thinking of this, Xiao Cheng picked up his coat and walked out of the office quickly.

The financial crisis of a group or even a country is not as important to him as Chu He, not to mention that Chu He is pregnant with their child.

At this time, he had to go back and see that she was safe and sound.

Secretary Sophia was yawning while sitting at her workstation. When she saw the door of the president's office being pushed open, her eyes lit up.

Seeing that Xiao Cheng looked obviously unhappy, she immediately stood up from her workstation and came over to greet him.

Xiao Cheng walked quickly and said as he walked: "Immediately arrange a private plane to return to Wancheng."

Sophia was a little surprised. She glanced at the time on her watch and asked in very fast English, "Boss, if you leave, what will we do when the market opens tomorrow?"

Every second counts in the stock market, and hundreds of millions or even billions of dollars can be traded with just a few clicks.

Without the big boss in charge, when operations begin tomorrow, the people under him will definitely be timid and afraid that there will be a big mess tomorrow.

Xiao Cheng frowned but did not stop.

"Tell them to go ahead and do it tomorrow as planned."

"Oh well."

Seeing that Xiao Cheng's tone was very firm and there was no hesitation at all, Sophie had no choice but to do as he said.
