Nan Zhentian got cold feet, but he tried to bear up, “What tape? I don’t follow. I never knew the so-called tape.”


  He tried to pretend to be innocent and knew nothing about it. But Meng Zuo would not buy it just because he said so.

  “Ni Yuan, if you’re considering for Ni’s Family, you should hand out that tape.” Meng Zuo said.

  Nan Zhentian shook his head and looked at Ye Sichen, “I came here for business. As to Ni’s Family, that is the past for me. My name is not Ni Yuan, but Nan Zhentian. I am curious, why Mr. Cong, as a businessman, would cheat me for Ni’s Family? You’re not a member of Ni’s Family, are you?”


  Ye Sichen smiled, “I have nothing to do with Ni’s Family, but I happened to own Meng Zuo a favor, and helping him this time will repay my debt.”


  “Have you ever considered that I am not nobody here in Country A? If you kidnap and blackmail me, you will be targeted.”


  “Have you ever considered it’s a good deal to get the power to control petroleum with just a tape?” Ye Sichen said.

  “I didn’t have the tape you claimed.” Clenching his hands, Nan Zhentian was itching to kill Meng Zuo.

  “Meng Zuo, since he doesn’t have it, let him go.” Ye Sichen told Meng Zuo.

  Although Meng Zuo was unwilling to do so, he still loosened Nan Zhentian.

  In order to get the power to control petroleum, Nan Zhentian had to swallow his pride and negotiate with Ye Sichen, “Mr. Cong, no matter how much you require, I’ll double or even triple it.”


  Staring at the jade thumb ring on his hand, Ye Sichen played with it elegantly, “Meng Zuo just wants the tape, which you don’t possess. So, I can do nothing. You can leave now.”


  Ye Sichen gave his compulsion order.

  Nan Zhentian stepped forward, “Mr. Cong, I really didn’t have the tape you claimed……”


  Before finishing his words, he was taken out by two muscle men.

  Nan Zhentian fumed with rage that he had never been treated like this and he was arbitrarily carried out!

  Nan Zhentian was standing just outside the door, his eyes glinting with anger.

  As Xia Nuan was taking the children upstairs, Ye Sichen walked out.

  “How’s going on? Have you made a deal?” Xia Nuan held Ye Sichen’s hands and couldn’t wait to ask him.

  Ye Sichen shook his head, “Not yet, Ni Yuan said he didn’t have the tape.”


  Meng Zuo asked seriously, “Sir, we just let him go like this? What if we keep him here and force him to hand out the tape?”


  Ye Sichen smiled and looked at Xia Nuan, “My dear, what do you think?”


  Xia Nuan thought for a while, and said, “I think we should put him under pressure so that he has to come back by himself.”


  Ye Sichen nodded, holding her hands, “Bingo, this is also my idea.”


  Meng Zuo looked anxious, “How could this be possible? Definitely, he will be defensive and not show up anymore. He probably will secretly aim at us. It’s obvious that he doesn’t care about the reputation of Ni’s Family at all, let alone rehabilitate of its reputation. He has always been selfish and he cares only for himself.”


  Meng Zuo knew Ni Yuan too well.

  “Don’t worry, Uncle Zuo. I make sure that he personally comes over again.”


  Meng Zuo looked a little confused about Ye Sichen’s confidence.

  Nan Zhentian returned to his mansion with a dark face, and asked his subordinates to leave him alone. He went to the study alone and locked himself in it.

  Immediately, he opened a mechanism, and a safe appeared on the wall. He walked over, and took out a tape from the safe. Staring at the tape, he was lost in his mind.

  How did Meng Zuo know about the tape?

  All the traitors around him at that time had been eliminated. Who else could know the existence of the tape?

  He had been keeping this tape secretly. Thanks to this tape, he could get the position in Country A. Therefore, he would hand it to Meng Zuo under no circumstances. Once he gave it to Meng Zuo, he would lose everything he achieved. And maybe a fatal disaster would come for him.

  Thinking of this, Nan Zhentian released the tape. Suddenly he had an urge to destroy the tape.

  Yes, he should have destroyed the tape long ago.

  As he took the office, Xiao Chi, the President of Country A, had asked him to destroy it. He promised, but he never did it. He was worried that once the evidence in the tape was destroyed, Xiao Chi would immediately change his mind and kill him. After all, he threatened Xiao Chi with this tape at first, and Xiao Chi had no choice but to make him a powerful general in Country A.

  Since he had the power now and had no fear of Xiao Chi, so he’d better destroy the tape.

  “Sir, the President is calling you.”


  His adjutant entered the room and told Nan Zhentian.

  Nan Zhentian put the tape into the drawer quickly, “Okay, transfer it to me right away.”


  As saying this, Nan Zhentian picked up the phone on the desk and immediately changed to a deferential gesture, “Your Excellency, what’s your order?”


  “Zhentian, What’s the status? Haven’t you taken back the power to control of petroleum?” From the other end of the line, Xiao Chi’s voice sounded not pleasant.

  There was a hint of terrifying severity.

  Nan Zhentian was helpless, “Sir, I will try my best.”


  “Try your best? You must get the power of controlling the petroleum, otherwise, just resign as the general.” Xiao Chi shouted with a surge of exasperation.

  “Cong Shen is really unpredictable. No matter how high I bid up the price, he wouldn’t change his mind. So, I think we should eliminate him, when necessary.”


  “I think I should eliminate you.” Xiao Chi smiled coldly.

  Nan Zhentian clenched his hands unconsciously, with his eyes glinting with a surge of hatred.

  “What should we do? He will gradually control the economy of Country A. We have to get rid of this man.” Nan Zhentian concealed the intention of murder in his eyes bit by bit.

  “How could we kill him? He is closely connected with several major families like Monte’s Family. He is their partners, so he will get the support from them. Even if he dies, that control power will not fall into our hands, but into those wealthy plutocrats. It will be even more chaotic and out of control by then.”


  Hearing the words of Xiao Chi, Nan Zhentian frowned and kept silent.

  “Nan Zhentian, I’m telling you that, get the control power within three days, otherwise quit your post then!” After saying this, Xiao Chi banged down the phone.

  Nan Zhentian held his phone, and his eyes were red with rage.

  He refrained from flinging the phone to the ground, and took out the tape from the drawer. He pinched the tape so hard that the color of his fingers faded, “Xiao Chi, you will see.”


  If it was not for him, how could Xiao Chi become the president?

  Since he could make him become the president, he could also make him fall from this position.

  Thinking of this, the decision in his mind became clearer, and he couldn’t help but sneered.

  At night, Xia Nuan could not fall into sleep, and she tossed and turned. When she closed her eyes, she always felt uncomfortable. A surge of sadness spread across her body. Looking at the night scene outside, she had a strong sense of déjà vu. She sighed quietly, and her eyes got red.

  “Mom, what’s wrong with you?”


  Ansheng snuggled up in her arms, playing with Xia Nuan’s arm.

  Xia Nuan came back to her senses and embraced Ansheng, “Maybe I’m just worried.”


  “About what?” My brothers and I are by your side. And Dad is here too.” Nianci also snuggled up.

  “Mom is just worried about your safety, and about when your dad can finish these things as well.” Xia Nuan turned around, and put Ansheng onto bed. Then she dragged Nianci to lie down, covering them with quilts, “But I believe it will be all right. Your dad is an incredible man.”


  “Mom is also incredible.” Nianci kissed Xia Nuan, “Because you gave us life, you are incredible, too.”


  Xia Nuan smiled gently, “Fool.”


  “Mom, tell me how you and Dad knew each other?” Nianci had no intention to sleep. She supported her chin, lying on the bed and watching Xia Nuan.

  Ansheng imitated his elder sister, while Wuyou lay on his back and read a book silently.

  However, he pretended to be so. In fact, he was eager to hear it too.

  Xia Nuan gave a sweet smile, “We just knew each other like that, nothing special to be mentioned.”


  “Come on. I like to hear the details and I am curious how I came to this world.” Nianci kissed Ansheng, “Ansheng is curious too, right? Ansheng?”


  “Yes, I also want to know.” Ansheng giggled and echoed his sister.

  “Mom was very poor then, so I went to sell light sticks where your dad had a concert, and then we knew each other.” Xia Nuan didn’t want to go into details. After all, they were still young.

  “How many people were there in the concert?”


  “About 100,000, anyway, there were a lot.” Xia Nuan recalled the concert in Zhongshan.

  “But is it not weird that Dad could see you among so many people? Did he have a telescope?” Nianci doubted.

  “No, but your beautiful mom was just shining like a star!” Ye Sichen came over and sat beside Xia Nuan, holding Xia Nuan’s hand.

  “You are right. Mom is really beautiful.” Nianci looked at Xia Nuan, “That’s why I’m so pretty, isn’t it? Dad?”


  “Yes, your mom and you are the prettiest.” Ye Sichen held Xia Nuan in his arms, and his eyes are full of tenderness.

  Xia Nuan blushed.

  “No wonder Uncle Enchen liked Mom so much, as well as Uncle Shen and Uncle Lacy. I remember well that they used to like Mom. Uncle Lacy once cheated Mom into a room and tried to kiss her. Thanks to my brother and me, we stabbed in his ass with a cactus……”


  Before Nianci finished her words, Wuyou dragged her over.

  “Time to sleep. Nianci, you have talked too much.” Wuyou stopped Nianci.

  Wuyou had known for a long time that Uncle Enchen should not be mentioned. Every time he mentioned Uncle Enchen, Dad would get unhappy. This time was no exception. Just like before, Daddy looked disappointed slowly.

  Nianci was inconsiderate.

  Xia Nuan also felt embarrassed, and noticed obviously his disappointment. She tucked Nianci and Ansheng in, “Hush and sleep now. Children should not stay up late.”


  Nianci just noticed the strangeness, responded obediently, and closed her eyes. Then Ansheng also closed his eyes.

  Xia Nuan and Ye Sichen went out after they settled the children.

  “Any news from Nan Zhentian?” Xia Nuan asked Ye Sichen.
