Chapter 666: Chapter 666: I Know Who’s the Father of My Child
“I won’t give it to you,” Xu Chaomu said firmly.
Although she didn’t know what was so important about that project, since Shen Chi trusted her, how could she give it to someone else?
“I’ll give you one minute to think it over, and if you don’t agree, by tomorrow the whole C City will know about the child in your belly,” the man threatened her.
Xu Chaomu walked to the window and angrily looked at the man.
The man lit a cigarette at the window, looking relaxed and at ease.
“Do you believe I’ll call someone right now?” Xu Chaomu said.
“Call someone? Shen Shihan? Will he help you? Or perhaps, Shen Chi? That would be perfect. Bring Shen Chi over, and I’ll talk to him about custody of the child.”
“I will not hand over the planning brief to you!” Xu Chaomu’s attitude was resolute.
“You have thirty seconds left.”
Xu Chaomu clenched her teeth. If she didn’t agree to this beast now, he would surely fabricate stories tomorrow.
She didn’t want to involve Shen Chi, didn’t want to involve Shen Group.
Suddenly, a light bulb went off in her mind—yes, she could give him a fake planning brief.
“I’ll go to the group to get it.”
“Very good,” the man seemed satisfied, “Head directly to that alley later. Do you see it? I’ll be checking the goods in person.”
The man pointed to a narrow alley not far away, which was dark and rarely frequented by people.
Xu Chaomu glanced at the alley, her teeth clenched: “But you must ensure the safety of my child and me.”
“Of course, your child is also my child, how could I bear it,” the man said with a sneer that was not a smile.
Xu Chaomu felt a chill and immediately hung up the phone.
So, he wanted that planning brief.
After hanging up the phone, she headed back to Shen Group.
It wasn’t far from the group; she walked with her head down, not even turning on the lights, and made her way to her desk using her phone’s light.
Unlocking her desk drawer, she took out the planning brief.
She photocopied the top few pages. For the rest, she used several sheets of scrap paper.
She wouldn’t really go to the alley; at the corner, she would call for help.
Soon, she was out of Shen Group.
As she was about to approach the alley, she stopped, not moving any further forward.
She saw that the man was already waiting in the alley. Seeing her not coming over, he quickly approached her.
“Give me the planning brief,” the man reached out his hand.
“Once I’ve given it to you, you won’t harass me anymore?”
At this moment, Xu Chaomu turned on her recorder. She couldn’t believe that Feili Group, such a large corporation, would stoop to such despicable tactics.
“Harassment? Can’t you remember that night in Paris? It hurts my heart to think that you could forget such a beautiful and sensuous night,” he said.
“I remember, but that man was much more handsome than you.”
“Give it to me,” the man reached out again.
“Feili Group, how low will you stoop by using such methods to strike at your competitors?” Xu Chaomu said disdainfully.
“Cut the crap, hand over the planning brief!”
The man threw the cigarette butt from his mouth onto the ground and extinguished it harshly with his shoe.
Xu Chaomu stepped back. She had it all figured out — there was a bustling shop nearby, and she planned to run inside it for help.
Realizing Xu Chaomu intended to flee, he stepped forward suddenly, grabbed her bag, and pulled her close to him!
As soon as he got hold of her, he snatched her bag away!
Xu Chaomu knew the bag contained nothing valuable. She dropped the bag and dashed towards the shop.
However, the man was prepared. He grabbed hold of Xu Chaomu, casting a disdainful glance at her.
“Trying to trick me? I told you, I’m going to check the goods,” he said.
Finishing his words, he clutched her with one hand while with the other he opened her bag.
Xu Chaomu’s heart climbed to her throat; the planning brief inside was fake! Fake!
She would never hand over the real one to him, as it would bring significant losses to Shen Group!
Just as she despaired, suddenly, the man let out a loud “Ah!”
A punch met the man’s face head-on!
The man covered his face, the bag dropped to the ground, and he staggered backward.
Seizing the opportunity, Xu Chaomu dodged to the side, picked up her bag, and kept her distance.
In the darkness, she saw the newcomer was Nie Chenglang.
Nie Chenglang had already landed a punch on the man, causing his eye to swell, and then delivered another punch to his temple!
The man howled like a banshee, but upon recognizing Nie Chenglang, he called out, “President Nie.”
“What are you doing?” Nie Chenglang exploded in a furious rage.
“I… it’s nothing,” the man denied.
Nie Chenglang was about to throw another punch when the man dodged and struggled to his feet.
“President Nie, please show mercy. I was just discussing something with her,” the man pleaded.
Xu Chaomu stood aside, even more curious. How did they know each other?
“Discussing? Do you need to resort to robbery?” Nie Chenglang demanded sharply, his eyes filled with coldness.
“No, President Nie, you’ve misunderstood. There is, indeed, something between us, but it’s not convenient to tell you…”
Xu Chaomu spoke up, “Chenglang, I don’t know him.”
The man scoffed, “Miss Xu, we didn’t know each other before, but I’ve already made it very clear—that child in your belly is mine.”
Now it was Nie Chenglang’s turn to be stunned.
Xu Chaomu’s child was his?
Nie Chenglang only knew that Xu Chaomu’s child belonged to some unknown man, but he had yet to discover who.
So, it was Vice President Zhou’s?
He knew that night in Paris, Feili Group was signing a contract with Xu Chaomu’s company, and it was Vice President Zhou who had gone there.
In a panic, Xu Chaomu said, “Don’t talk nonsense! Chenglang, don’t listen to his ramblings!”
“Miss Xu Chaomu, why won’t you believe what I’m saying? Could it be that you think the child is President Nie’s?” the man said.
“No…” Xu Chaomu shook her head, for only she knew that her child wasn’t Nie Chenglang’s, and certainly not this stranger who popped out of nowhere!
“President Nie,” the man spoke, clutching his face, “You were also in Paris that day. Whether the child is yours, you should know better than anyone else, right?”
Nie Chenglang, indeed, fell silent; yes, he knew very well.
Xu Chaomu’s child wasn’t his; at first, he had lied to her fearing she couldn’t cope with the truth.
Latterly, he had come clean to Xu Chaomu.
Yet, he hadn’t anticipated that Xu Chaomu’s child would turn out to be Vice President Zhou’s.
Of course, Xu Chaomu’s heart could never accept such a fact!
“Chenglang, don’t believe him. My child isn’t his; I know whose child it is,” Xu Chaomu said desperately.
“President Nie, since you’re here today, it might be better to lay it all out,” the man suggested. “That night, I had a one-night stand with her, so I’ll take responsibility for it.”
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Xu Chaomu’s face turned dark.
“President Nie, perhaps you can help persuade her,” said the man shamelessly.
