Chapter 436: Chapter 436: Who is the Puppet Master
“…Qin Youxuan, don’t always use that trick.”
Dan Hanjie saw through her craftiness, his eyes flickered slightly.
“So will you let me do it?”
Qin Youxuan mirrored his somber expression, pouting her lips, looking visibly upset. “I’m kept at home all the time, the rare times I get to play, and you don’t let me enjoy…”
“Ten minutes at most.”
“Deal!”
Qin Youxuan nodded hastily, scooping up some water and splashing it towards his face.
A surprise attack always works.
But just as she turned around, Dan Hanjie was nowhere to be seen.
A tall figure leaning against a cherry blossom tree, raising his eyebrow at her, made Qin Youxuan feel a chill run down her spine.
His movements were too fast, totally bland.
Qin Youxuan pouted, turned her head, directly took off her shoes, placed them in the river, and began to play by herself.
Seeing her action, Dan Hanjie frowned. He was about to walk over when he noticed something out of the corner of his eye and stopped in his tracks.
He turned and briskly left the cherry blossom forest.
“Mr. Jie.” Yao greeted him as he came out.
“Have you found anything yet?”
“Not yet. The seller behind the selloff of Dan Group’s stocks has concealed himself well. The identities traced back from multiple stock accounts are all suspiciously clean. Plus, even online, the discourse has taken a positive turn. The attempts to denounce you and call for your removal as CEO seem to be failing,” Yao paused, his face suddenly grim. “Mr. Jie, we can handle the domestic issues, but overseas… There are voices of dissent within the Dan Family. Many believe you acting unilaterally in discreetly marrying and even publicizing the marriage has compromised the interests of our conglomerate. The board expects you to provide a satisfactory explanation.”
“They can’t hold back anymore.” Dan Hanjie smirked coldly, his enchanting eyes gleaming like a leopard’s in the darkness.
“Keep an eye on that old man. He’s been waiting for this day for a long time. I’m quite interested to see how he plans to deal with me. And remember to keep searching. We must find out whoever it was that showed up on Extreme Love Island!”
“Yes, sir.”
Yao nodded respectfully, “Mr. Jie, Diwu Zexuan called. He asked if you have finished your medicine and if you need more…”
“There’s no need.”
Dan Hanjie’s eyes flashed, his hand at his side tightened slightly,” I won’t need it ever again.”
With that cat around, he wouldn’t need any medicine at all.
Remembering Qin Youxuan, Dan Hanjie didn’t say anything more. He turned and strode back into the cherry blossom forest, looking for her.
As soon as he got to the edge of the river, he saw her sitting there, hugging Da Bai in a daze.
Her blank face was expressionless, her hands were habitually stroking Da Bai’s fur. The little creature, comforted by her touch, stretched lazily in her arms.
From time to time, it would hook her dress with its paw, then free it, frolicking with the round ornament on her belt.
Every now and then, Da Bai would lift its head to rub against her chest…
Dan Hanjie’s eyes darkened instantly.
He walked over, reached out and plucked Da Bai out of her arms, throwing it to one side.
“Hey—”
Shocked, Qin Youxuan stood up and reached out to hold Da Bai, which was thrown away by him./p>
Her heart ached for Da Bai.
“Qin Youxuan, try hugging that creature in front of me again!”
“You shouldn’t be so rough, Da Bai is still very small.”
How could it withstand his kicking and throwing…
“Let’s go.”
Dan Hanjie dropped a word and turned around to leave.
After striding a few steps and seeing that Qin Youxuan wasn’t following, he turned back, grabbed her hand, and pulled her along.
“…”
Qin Youxuan looked at him, clearly very angry, yet he still didn’t leave her behind. A smile crept on her lips as she deliberately slowed down, letting him pull her along.
