After the call, Kong Qixian stood up from the study table and anxiously paced back and forth in front of the window. He then made a few more calls to his daughter, urging her to come home quickly.
The Kong Group's entire board of directors was long in a chaotic state. Restless about the situation, those elderly directors made one call after another, asking him 'What was going on?' and 'What did you do to offend the Mu Group?'
When Kong Xiaoqian returned home, her father was sitting grumpily before the study table with a cigarette in hand, enraged with those directors.
Seeing her return with red eyes, he slammed the table hard as he squinted at her. "What did you do to offend Mu Yazhe that he'd do this to the Kong Group?"
Let alone lose his temper at her, he had not once shown her any attitude before. She retreated a step at his sinister look and wept quietly at the entrance with bowed head.
