"Breaking news in the financial industry. The President of the Li Corporation has died!"

"Li Nanchen seemed to have angered an enemy and died today due to an untimely treatment from an explosion..."

When the news was out, it shocked the entire B City. He occupied the headlines of both economic and entertainment news!

Li Nanchen's huge photo was being shown on a television program again. The Li Corporation's stock price had been affected and plummeted, going in the negative!

The phones at the Corporation's headquarters were exploding with calls seeking confirmation. The Public Relations department did not get any concrete information, so they could only try to deal with them...

Old Master Li was seated in the villa when he received the news. He was so shocked that his breathing froze for a moment. He has been visiting Li Nanchen frequently these few days and Nanchen is clearly alive and well. How can this be?! Pushing aside the butler, who was blocking his way, he staggered into Li Nanchen's ward.

Wu Mei looked back at him in surprise when she heard the loud bang.

Old Master Li's voice trembled as he asked, "Lass, is Nanchen... dead?"

Wu Mei realized the problem and looked up to glare at Bi Fang. Bi Fang hung his head guiltily and leaned against the wall, pretending to be invisible.

He was really too busy! It's forgivable for these issues to slip his mind!

Wu Mei squatted down and patted Old Master Li's knee lightly as she explained, "I'm trying to use a ploy to lure out the sneaky people behind this."

"Those news are for the people outside to see. Look, isn't Li Nanchen lying here perfectly fine? His body is recovering quite well now. His wound is about to close up. Don't worry..."

Old Master Li believed Wu Mei, but he could not completely relax. He shook his head and said, "I'll stay here and guard him."

Wu Mei gritted her teeth and glared at Bi Fang. She wanted him to clean up the mess he had created!

Just as Bi Fang was about to persuade Old Master Li, two feeble coughs came from the bed. Li Nanchen opened his eyes and wanted to prop himself up to sit up, but he fell back onto the bed heavily. Dark red blood flowed back into the IV drip. "Grandpa, I'm fine."

Finally feeling reassured, Old Master Li quickly ran to his bed and said, "Rascal, you nearly made me watch you die before me!"

Wu Mei's eyes turned hot. Looking at Li Nanchen's cold face, which had lost a lot of weight, she said, "What were you thinking? You don't care about the consequences when you do things!"

"Do you know that if anything happens to you, I will feel guilty for the rest of my life?! Did you ask me when you risked your life to save me?"

Li Nanchen slowly lifted his eyes to look at her. His lips curled up into a relieved smile and he said, "I'm glad you're fine."

Wu Mei felt a warmth she had never felt before. Her throat felt itchy as she coughed and shifted her gaze elsewhere. Gritting her teeth, she said softly, "Li Nanchen! You're not allowed to do such a dangerous thing again. I don't want to owe you a favor..."

"More than that, I don't want to hold a funeral for you for real! You have to live on!"

"Otherwise, my mission will be considered a failure!"

"I can't let you get hurt in front of me!"

Li Nanchen understood her concern hidden under her interrogation. He merely smiled lightly and occasionally looked at her with a gentle gaze.

The two of them seemed to be arguing, but it was actually a public display of affection that Bi Fang found difficult to bear. He cleared his throat.

Wu Mei restrained her emotions and took the opportunity when Li Nanchen was conscious to explain her entire plan to him. "The news has already spread. Now, we need President Li to suffer a little and pretend to be dead. Don't leave this villa and don't contact anyone else."

Li Nanchen harrumphed twice and pointed at his bandaged body. "Can I still move after you've bandaged me up like a mummy?"

Bi Fang was amused by him. He pressed his clenched fist against his mouth while his shoulder shook from trying to hold in his laughter.

Seeing how sweet they were, Old Master Li's eyes shone with joy. However, very quickly, he thought of the series of effects that Li Nanchen's death would have caused... Old Master Li was experienced in the business world and knew it well.

The Li Corporation was headed by Li Nanchen. Now that he was dead, the board of directors and President's position were vacated.

The Li Family's collateral branch would definitely be worked up and want to snatch the Li Corporation!

"Lass, do you have any ideas on how to deal with those blood-sucking leeches?"

As soon as Old Master Li finished speaking, the butler rushed in in a panic before Wu Mei could reply. He pointed outside while stammering, "Old Master, a group of people has surrounded the villa outside. It looks like it's very chaotic! It seems like they want to break in...
