Everyone took their sits and the auction started. From where Wang Tingling was sitting he could see clearly Xin Shianmeng and how she was busy laughing with the Li couple.
"Don't tell me you are all waiting for the painting?" Xin Shianmeng asked looking at Huan.
"And why can't I bid for it it's made by my favorite person." Li Huan sneered.
"And I can guess that many people are waiting for it since it is going to be the last item being auctioned." stated Zhou Wencheng.
"Ok , now here comes the last and long waited item of today. It's the painting of the famous artists who is still mysterious to all all of us but got famous among the people. This time the name of the painting is *emotions go wild* which is a mystery. Now we can start...
"10millions!" Wow it has started with a force. exclaimed the auctioneer.
"15millions"
"25millions"
"35millions."
"50millions."
"100 millions" "gusps, this time things become exciting." Said the MC. As Li Huan was going to raise to add another money Xin Shianmeng stopped him.
"Huan just leave it, I will convince her to draw you one ok."
"You should stop you have a collection of them, just let others also have one ok, darling!" Li Huan felt wronged, he really wanted the painting.
"Ok, but you better keep your promise."
"Goes once, twice,thrice ! good now the painting goes to the lady in blue, congratulations." The MC concluded with loud applause from the others who had attended.
After the auction had ended some had to mingle and introduce themselves, while others went back to attend other matters.
After greeting a few people Xin Shianmeng and Zhou wencheng headed home alone since Li Huan had gone to handle an emergency at the company.
"Will you now tell me what's going and don't even try to deceive me!" Xin Shianmeng asked her friend seriously. Zhou Wencheng told her everything without skipping anything.
"And when were you planning to tell me , after the company had gone bankrupt eeh!?" Xin Shianmeng asked angrily looking at her friend.
"Please Meng Meng don't be angry at me we did not want to bother you with too much, so we kept quite." Zhou Wencheng explained on the verge of tears she really hated lying to her friend.
"As if " Snorted Xin Shianmeng and looked away. The rest of the drive was quite.
When Wang Tingling tried to look for her she was no where to be found which left him disappointed.
"Brother the transaction is over let's go home."
"So the painting was what you wanted?"Wang Tingling looked at his sister with question marks on the face.
"You don't know anything about art so just leave it, let's go but thanks for tonight." Wang Fe exclaimed happily. She really wanted to have one of the painting and she had got one. They headed home with Wang Tangling engrossed in his thoughts. When he reached home he asked his secretary to do check on Xin Shianmeng, only to find nothing like always. He only found information from the previous months when they had come back to the city and nothing more and he found that she had changed her names, her current address and that she had daughter.
The following day at the NT Holdings things were chaotic they had been attached again and Li Huan was going mad with anger, even at the Li cooperation things didn't look good as all of them didn't have a clue of who was attaching the NT Holdings.
"CEO Li you have a phone call from the grand master." The secretary handed the phone to Li Huan.
"Come back this evening to the mansion." A stern voice came from the other end .
"Yes Dad!" Li Huan answered. "Today evening I am heading at the old mansion, you take care of the company and also inform my wife and daughter we are going together." Li Huan said massaging between his brows he had not taken a rest from yesterday and looked dead tired.
"Right away sir!" said the secretary and headed outside.
In the evening at the old Li mansion the atmosphere was suffocating as everyone had a stern face.
"What's with the faces did I invite you brats to see your unhappy faces?, I only get to see you when there is a problem eeeh ! You have alot money to last you and your descendants why do you care about a small problem." The old madam Zhan Yuanjuan their grand mother complained.
"And you who was that beautiful woman of yesterday? Your pictures have gone wild today you were smiling and laughing which is rare to see!" Old madam asked and even others turned to look at him because even them they were surprised to see him comfortable around another woman other than his wife.
"She doesn't have any record about her and her background when I did a research on her I found nothing." This time Li Kangyou the eldest son who usually kept quite said.
Looking at his young brother Li Shiaming asked.
"Do you know her well?" because I know you are not the one who hid her information."
"If you didn't get any information about her it means it's a secret and I respect her privacy so Iam not saying anything." Li Huan said as matter of fact and got up to answer a phone.
They were really surprised by how he was being protective of her, among all of them Li Shunyuan was busy looking at the pictures of the woman they were saying and she resembled alot her daughter An and he could easily guess.
"Dear Cheng what is the relationship between the woman and you both!" Old Madam asked looking at her daughter in law.
"To Li Huan Xin Shianmeng is a sister, patterner, a friend...." She was cut short by her ringing phone.
"Speaking of the devil.. Hello Mengmeng, ooh! let me call him... Huan Mengmeng wants you on the phone." Zhou Wencheng called to her husband who was coming back to his sit.
"Hey, Meng" Li Huan greeted her through the loudspeaker.
"Hey! seriously Huan when were you going to tell me you were facing these problems eeh!?" A beautiful slight angry voice could be heard on the other side of the phone, when she said like that Li Huan looked at his wife with a worried, questioning face.
"Meng listen..." Li Huan wanted to explain his self but was not given a chance. All the people around were astonished by what they were listening to. Only the old master had a calm face observing what was happening so far, without saying anything.
"Get a laptop and let's do what is the priority."
"I don't have any with me right now."
"Ask the people around you to give you one, don't tell you can't get one in that big mansion?"
"How did...!?" Like everyone even Li Huan was surprised about how she could guess that he was at the old mansion.
"Are going to ask me how I have known that you are at the old mansion, mmmh?! I have a strong sense of hearing I can know where you are easily, seriously! I thought you knew me better and if I guess right, at the right far end there is an open window you better close it, it's getting chilly outside and it's not good for the elders... is the laptop ready we can start."
"Mmmmh, Li Huan could only agree he was shocked.
"Ok, open the link I have sent you and the person you are seeing is the one attacking you, I have found that he is getting the revenge on you because you won the project he wanted, and you got agreat profit from it , you may have forgotten it because it's the first project you had collaborated with other companies when you started."
"How did you track him easily in day when we had failed for a month?" Li Shiaming asked since all of them were listening to her explanation.
"He was using different IP addresses at the same times to confuse you and he was also using a different channel using a different method which was recently discovered in the eastern where you don't have a great access, which is why you couldn't trace him." Explained Xin Shianmeng. As she had finished talking An came running from her room calling her.
"Mom I have juicy news, I found a scumbag I want to punish but it concerns big people so I am confused." An exclaimed.
"You don't always ask for permission to punish scumbags, and you should be studying right now and leave that to the authorities." Xin Shianmeng stated.
"Ananh you should listen to your mother." An heard Li Huan's voice through the phones loudspeaker.
"Uncle great timing but uncle, you listen to how you are siding with mom! you know how capable I am although I can't reach your nephew's level in punishing the teachers." This time Li Shunyuan raised his brows in confusion as he was listening to the conversation, as for Li Xiaosheng she was suppressing her laughter, even her mother the same while the others were really impressed by he girl's boldness to bad mouth him.
"And why do you say so dear?" Li Huan asked amused looking at his nephew.
"You see that guy he had to answer in the most complicated way. I happened to see it when I was collecting the papers because he sits behind..uuuh! I immediately prayed for the teacher because I tell you that's the complicated method to answer ever, even I can't not use it due to my sympathy to the teachers it's like he was punishing them!" An elaborated with a sigh.
"Any way uncle back to the topic last night I saw mom looking into the guy who was disturbing you and I also happened to fall on this guy and this matter is really crucial to the Li cooperation specifically speaking to your brother." As everyone was listening they were surprised by what she was saying.
"He is here you can talk him." Li Huan said looking at his brother, An who was drinking from her mother's cup almost chocked at the water and they heard her coughing.
"Ananh are you ok !?" this time Zhou Wencheng asked concerned glaring at her husband.
"I am ok aunty, Uncle don't joke like that!" An complained and heard her mother's giggles from her side.
"Why don't you believe I can be around?" this time An had a strong masculine stern voice and could not believe she was talking to Li Shiaming the idol business man to her.
"It's...not like that I was just surprised." An answered unbelievably.
"Ok, go ahead and tell me." Li Shiaming said in his calm voice he really had a good feeling about this little girl he didn't know why.
An connected her tablet to the laptop and started explained.
"This man is acorn man he has done this many time, he goes claiming new secret projects of other companies and says they stole from him which becomes a bad end for the companies, so this evening as we talk he is still meeting with one of your people and trying to do what he is good at ,if iam not mistaken there is a secret project worth billions you have been working on, he got a snoop from a person in your company and they are meeting so that they could do a deal and attack you before you officially launch it."
"If I am not mistaken the place where they met there is tight security no electronic device is allowed, how did you get hold of these pictures and moreover they are still in their meeting and have not noticed anything and I am sure they are always alert." Li Shiaming asked impressed by the girl.
"Well it's their fault to be obsessed with new improved watches, I hacked through their watches and got what I wanted, who lied to them a watch is not an electronic device! I hope you can punish him accordingly." An requested.
"Thank you young lady, what do want as a reward." Li Shiaming asked.
"Nothing really I am happy to have helped, have a good night all of you." An said and ran to her room as quick as she can, leaving the others laughing and smiling.
" I hope that's all Huan let's talk later." Xin Shianmeng also bid goodbye and hung up.
"Did you have tell her." Li Huan asked looking at his wife.
"She is observant dear, she can guess right away when you are unhappy and you know even if I hid it from her and refused to tell her she would have known by herself, you know her better."
"What is the name of the young girl?" Old master asked.
"An, that's her name." Li Huan answered.
"Impressive, like her mother!" stated the Old master and headed to his room.
"And remember to close the window!" The old Madam said before following her husband, with a happy face.
On the other side a man was observing the photos from the articles.
"She is still beautiful like always.Prepare a jet we are going to pay a visit to my dear one." said the man to his surbodinate .
"Yes sir."
