Stepmother: I Am Asked To Give A Kidney To My Half-Brother

Chapter 294: First Confrontation

Angry voices accused the trio’s lack of conscience. They felt uneasy and afraid, and wanted to flee the scene, but they were trapped by the crowd. They could not leave even if they wanted to. They were filled with regret! They regretted being tempted by a small profit. They regretted accepting such a mission.

In the past, they would be sitting in the office, drinking tea. They were holding managerial positions and there were many people who wanted to see them but could not. If they had not agreed from the beginning, they would not have suffered like this! When they thought of this, they could not help but blame Fifth Miss. Couldn’t she have called someone else to do such a wicked thing? Perhaps… This was what she wanted to see.

After all, people were well aware of Fifth Miss’s resourcefulness. Every step she took might be part of her plan to see them suffer. But why? They did not seem to have offended her, right? Could it be that she treated them as cannon fodder?!

The flames of confusion and resentment burned brighter.

Lu Ming looked at this scene in satisfaction, but he quickly pretended to be troubled and said, “I didn’t expect you to do such a thing to infiltrate the company. It’s really disappointing! Please come with me, the three of you. I must find out who the mastermind is. Otherwise…

None of you can leave.”

The devil’s whisper!

The pupils of the trio dilated.

Is the boss of Lu Ming Corporation openly threatening us??Just as they were about to get someone to call the police, they saw the cold and angry faces in the crowd. Even if they died here today, these people would not be moved at all. They might even help Lu Ming and the others bury their corpses!

Isn’t this a little too terrifying?

They subconsciously shouted in their hearts,?Fifth Miss, help!

…

Tang Yajing, who was far away in the capital, seemed to have sensed their cry for help. Her heart suddenly palpitated for some reason. She sat in her seat in frustration, but she could not bear to continue reading Sun Zi’s ‘Art of War’ in her hand.?What’s wrong with me today? I can’t seem to calm down at all! I’ve already done what I needed to do. Could there be a problem?

Just as she was thinking carefully about what could have gone wrong, the phone in her pocket suddenly rang. She clicked her tongue and took it out. When she saw the caller ID, she panicked for a moment. It was one of the three people she had sent to Shanghai—Yue Yier!

For some reason, she felt that nothing good would happen from crossing paths with Lu Ming!

She said cautiously, “Hello? Why are you calling me? Did something happen? Are you in danger? If so, where are you now? Should I get someone to send you back?”

“There’s no danger, they’re not injured at all. Other than being traumatized emotionally, there’s no other problem. However, you can’t blame anyone for this. Who asked them to slander my company in public? Don’t you think so, Miss Tang?”

Tang Yajing immediately recognized the other party’s true identity. She had heard the same voice during the last auto show! It was Lu Ming! It seemed that the people she had sent had all been caught by him! Speaking of which, this was the first time they had communicated. Although she had indeed thought of chatting with Lu Ming, it was not under such circumstances!

Now that the initiative was in the other party’s hands, she could only wait to be slaughtered! In addition, Old Master thought highly of those three people. If they did not return to the capital in a short period of time, he would definitely be suspicious and quickly investigate her! Perhaps in the future, not only would she lose her position as the family head, but she would also have to suffer the ridicule of her sisters!

No way!

She could not accept such an outcome!

So she clenched her fists with a dark expression and said, “Mr. Lu, I was wrong this time. I apologize to you. I shouldn’t have gotten someone to cause trouble at your place. In fact, I heard that the chip you wanted to make was an improved version in the market, so I did this out of curiosity. I hope you won’t take it to heart.”

She paused for a moment before continuing, “In order to compensate you for the damage, name a price. Do me a favor while you’re at it. On the account that I once had a good relationship with your wife, release Yue Yier, Gan Kuangzhe, and Cui Yantong back to the capital. Or rather, you can ask for any other compensation as long as I can do it.”

She lowered her head without hesitation and even lowered her stance so much that Lu Ming felt that the difference between this person and Tang Wenyi was too great! She was indeed the daughter that Tang Boyan valued the most. If the Tang family was really handed to her, she would be his greatest stumbling block!

What a pity. If Tang Yajing was not a member of the Tang family, they might have become good friends.

“You know my wife?”

Tang Yajing was stunned for a few seconds before she said, “Yes, I was in the same high school as Miss Chu. I was a senior two years older than her. We got to know each other through various fortuitous competitions. Your wife was rather outstanding and was especially popular in school. At that time, I was wondering who she would end up marrying. I didn’t expect it to be you.”

So Tang Yajing is so young??He had thought that the five sisters of the Tang family were about the same age. He assumed that although she was the youngest, she was at least in her thirties. It turned out that she was only in her early twenties. It was obvious that he did not notice this person at the last auto show. Otherwise, he would not have thought so.

“From what you’re saying, you’re quite familiar with my wife, but why is this form of address so unfamiliar? Besides, I’ve never heard her mention you. Could it be that something unpleasant happened between the two of you?”

Chu Jinyu had never mentioned anything about knowing anyone from the Tang family, let alone having a past relationship with the Fifth Miss. Therefore, Lu Ming asked curiously. Judging from Tang Boyan and Tang Wenyi’s character, the Tang family probably could not raise any good people. She must have done something wicked.

However, the person on the other end of the line only said vaguely, “It was just a misunderstanding. It was not a big deal. If you come to the capital with her in the future, I can entertain you as the host. So… Can you release my people? Mr. Lu.”

“Of course.”

Lu Ming replied without hesitation. He could not be bothered to think about useless things for a long time. Then the corners of his lips curled up as he said, “However, I hate it when someone crosses the line, so Fifth Miss should know what I want to say. The three of them will pay 30 million yuan and transfer it to my account. I’ll let them go once that’s done.”

How could she not pay a price for daring to extend her claws into his territory? It would be a waste not to scam a sucker who came knocking on his door!

On the other side, Tang Yajing did not look surprised. Instead, a look of understanding flashed across her eyes.
