Aware that the initiative was in his hands, Guo Meiyu's brows knitted slightly as she said, "No objections, now if you have something to say, hurry up and say it."

"Great! I want to talk to you about the transfer of your company, I want to acquire it, just name your price."

"Acquire? Why should we sell?"

"Meiyu, I know you think your company is doing well now, but that's because I haven't been serious. Once I get serious, you'll soon be completely squeezed out, so I'm talking to you about acquiring you now to allow you to retire with grace, instead of being utterly destroyed."

"This must be the most shameless person I have ever met!"

With such a glance, Guo Meiyu scoffed, "So you mean I should be thankful to you?"

"Yes! That's exactly what I mean. I've brought the transfer contract. You just have to sign it later on. As for the price, one hundred thousand yuan should be enough, right?"

"One hundred thousand? Do you really think that's sufficient?"

"Originally, I thought the price was indeed a bit low, but you also know that that good-for-nothing Hu Xiaobei is in my hands. I think he, plus the one hundred thousand yuan, should be enough."

"You… you're despicable."

"Business is business. That's the marketplace. Now, think it over carefully."

Guo Meiyu's brow furrowed...

While Guo Meiyu was thinking this, Hu Xiaobei returned to Xiaohe Village!

...

"Eh? Sister-in-law isn't here?"

After returning to Xiaohe Village, Hu Xiaobei went to Guo Meiyu's residence, only to find she was not there.

"Could she have gone to Aunt's?"

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei planned to see Han Xueyao, but before he could leave the alley, he saw Han Xueyao approaching from the opposite direction.

After exchanging quick greetings, Hu Xiaobei hastened to say, "Auntie, where's my sister-in-law?"

Hearing Hu Xiaobei's straightforward question, Han Xueyao pursed her lips, "You see me and immediately ask about your sister-in-law? Aren't you afraid your auntie will be jealous?"

"Uh... Auntie, I..."

"Ha ha! Just kidding with you. Guo Meiyu told me earlier that she went to Lake Heart City to discuss a collaboration."

"Lake Heart City? Where in Lake Heart City?"

"A private room at Wanghai Pavilion!"

"Got it, thank you, Auntie!"

"Sure! You've just got back, take some time to rest. I'm going to handle some things!"

"Okay!"

After watching Han Xueyao leave, Hu Xiaobei quickly picked up his cellphone.

Ever since he'd returned, Hu Xiaobei had felt a faint sense of crisis...

He didn't know what it meant, but he worried something might have happened to Guo Meiyu.

"It's switched off!"

After dialing Guo Meiyu's number, Hu Xiaobei's eyelid twitched slightly...

"Could it really be that something happened?"

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei didn't hesitate to get in the car and head straight to Lake Heart City...

...

"She's so beautiful!"

In the private room at Wanghai Pavilion, Lin Yongqiang, with a lecherous look on his face, ogled Guo Meiyu from a distance, drooling.

"Soon this perfect fairy will be mine!"

Thinking this, Lin Yongqiang took a sip of tea and spoke in a low voice, "I've given you plenty of time, now tell me, what have you decided?"

"I can agree, but you must guarantee that you won't harm Xiaobei. Additionally, I want to talk to him on the phone."

"Talk to your sister! Hu Xiaobei isn't even in my hands!"

While muttering to himself like this, Lin Yongqiang coldly spoke with feigned impatience, "Making a call is out of the question, but I can assure you, I absolutely won't harm him."

"Haha, just tell the truth, Xiaobei isn't even with you, right?"

"You... Why would you say that?"

"Simple, a piece of trash like you could never capture Xiaobei."

Exposed, Lin Yongqiang did not continue to lie but sneered, "Yes! Hu Xiaobei is indeed not in my hands, but it doesn't matter, now I have you, and soon, I will make him obediently submit."

With such a frenzied laugh, Lin Yongqiang quickly stood up and lunged at Guo Meiyu.

Having long sensed his ill intentions, Guo Meiyu was prepared. So, as he charged at her, she swiftly grabbed the cup on the table. Quickly, the scalding hot tea from the cup was splashed onto his face!

"Ah, my face..."

He screamed miserably, the scalding tea poured directly onto his face!

Guo Meiyu didn't pay him any heed and quickly went to open the door, but she found the private room's door was locked from the outside.

Knowing she couldn't open it, Guo Meiyu swiftly headed straight for the restroom in the private room.

After rushing in, Guo Meiyu immediately locked the door behind her...

Once locked, she quickly opened the window and was startled. Because she found that they were more than a hundred meters above the ground...

"Looks like it's not possible to leave through the window!"

After murmuring so, Guo Meiyu closed the window.

She knew now she could only wait for Hu Xiaobei to come and save her.

Before she left, she had informed Han Xueyao about her departure. So she knew that as soon as Hu Xiaobei returned to the village, he could find out where she was through Han Xueyao.

By then, it was very likely he would come to save her.

Thinking this, she suddenly heard a venomous voice coming through.

"Guo Meiyu, do you think you can just hide? Today, I must have you, the more you struggle, the more I find it interesting!"

Startled by such a venomous tone, Guo Meiyu jumped as she suddenly heard the sound of someone kicking the door.

"If he breaks in before Hu Xiaobei arrives, I'll jump from here. I belong to Xiaobei entirely, no one is allowed to touch a single hair on me."

As the door began to deform, she made her resolution and opened the window...

At this moment, had Guo Meiyu looked down from the window, she would have seen a person quickly running down from a car...

...

"The private rooms, at Wanghai Pavilion!"

After running off the car, Hu Xiaobei charged towards the lobby like a madman.

The receptionist, surprised by Hu Xiaobei's frantic behavior, asked, "Sir, what's this about...?"

Anxious Hu Xiaobei cut her off, "Tell me, where are the private rooms here?"

Not knowing the purpose behind Hu Xiaobei's question, she still explained earnestly, "All private rooms are on the top floor, do you need one? If so, you can make a reservation in advance! We have special staff responsible for reservations!"

"I don't need a reservation, I'm here to find someone."

Having said that, Hu Xiaobei quickly dashed towards the elevator.

"Please let her be okay, sis, please let her be okay!"

Inside the elevator, muttering frantically, Hu Xiaobei rapidly pressed the elevator buttons...

Soon, the elevator began to ascend; a few dozen seconds felt like an excruciatingly long century to Hu Xiaobei!

"Finally arrived, ah!"

Upon hearing the 'ding' sound, Hu Xiaobei quickly rushed out of the elevator...

"I wonder which private room she's in?"

Thinking this, Hu Xiaobei saw a crowd gathered around the door of private room 001 ahead.

"It must be that room!"

Muttering to himself, Hu Xiaobei walked over expressionless and at a quick pace...
