Chapter 630: It's Over, Completely Over
After resolving the minor conflict with Lv Zuowei, Ye Qiu found himself with much more free time.
However, this did not make Ye Qiu complacent.
Ye Qiu was not too concerned about Lv Zuowei; what worried him the most was Bai Lan's new partner, Xu Xin'Er!
Even though Xu Xin'Er hadn't had much contact with Bai Lan over the past five days, Ye Qiu still felt that this person was extremely suspicious.
How could someone who just returned from the United States suddenly seek out Bai Lan?
Even with the reason of that municipal project, it still seemed rather illogical!
With not much contact from Xu Xin'Er, Ye Qiu had no choice but to take things one step at a time.
At night, Ye Qiu drove to the suburbs while dialing the military research institute's phone, "I want to know how the potion research is progressing."
"The progress is quite good!" The head of the institute chuckled confidently, "Don't worry, Demon King. The upgraded Golden Potion we're developing this time is definitely more than twice as powerful as before.
Moreover, the chance of success is now one hundred percent; we just need to wait for enough time for the potion's reaction to complete."
"Great, please notify me immediately once the potion is successfully developed!"
Knowing that the new Golden Potion was soon to be completed, Ye Qiu was very pleased and eagerly anticipated the results of the new potion.
After hanging up, Ye Qiu floored the gas pedal and hurried to the outskirts.
Arriving at the riverside in the mountains, he immediately jumped into the river with a splash, took the potion, and continued training!
Meanwhile.
At Fell's hideout.
A yellow-skinned Vietnamese man, tied to a chair, struggled desperately, "Who are you! You'd better let me go right now! I am Tang Zan, the Vietnamese Thief King, and the connections behind me are beyond your imagination. If you harm me, you will offend many people!"
Fell didn't care about Tang Zan's threats, smiling lightly as he said, "I heard you came to Huaxia this time to steal Bai Group's bidding proposal."
"I can give up this mission if you let me go!" Tang Zan said in a panic.
"No!" Fell shook his head and casually took a pre-prepared briefcase, "You still need to continue to steal Bai Group's bidding proposal, but before that, you need to steal Xiangxin Group's first. The reward is two hundred thousand US Dollars."
With that, Fell used a dagger to cut the ropes binding Tang Zan and then said coldly, "You can take the money and get lost!"
"I will do as you say!" Tang Zan picked up the briefcase and left in a panic.
Two minutes later, Fell took out his phone and dialed Liao Min'Er's number, "Everything is proceeding according to plan. Keep an eye on the time, and the moment the time is right, call Bai Lan immediately!"
...
After absorbing the potion, Ye Qiu went to Bai Lan's residence.
Bai Lan was in a good mood, reclining on the sofa and humming a little tune.
"What good thing happened, you're so happy?" Ye Qiu walked over and sat beside Bai Lan.
Bai Lan got up, embraced Ye Qiu, and laughed, "It's naturally the municipal project. Over the past few days, all the company's employees responsible for that project have been working diligently, and I'm very satisfied with the bidding proposal they've come up with.
Moreover, I contacted two of the project's heads and slightly revealed our proposal. They were very pleased upon hearing it, so if nothing goes wrong, the municipal project bid will basically go to Bai Group."
"That is indeed good news." Ye Qiu nodded slightly.
"Didn't I say I could do it without your help?" Bai Lan glanced at Ye Qiu with pride, took the red wine from the coffee table, and took a small sip, looking slightly tipsy.
"I just don't understand why you still have to be so strong-willed around me, what's the point?" Ye Qiu said helplessly.
Bai Lan glared at him and said irritably, "Didn't I say before, flowers in a greenhouse can't grow strong, and when you weren't around, wasn't Bai Group sustained by me alone?"
"You're not wrong, but in this world, not all flowers have a greenhouse like me." Ye Qiu said, though he was no longer concerned about the municipal project because he found Bai Lan, slightly tipsy from the wine, even more alluring.
The fragrance from Bai Lan's body, mixed with the faint wine aroma, made Ye Qiu's heart race, and he pushed Bai Lan onto the sofa.
"In a good mood today, I'll comply with you."
Bai Lan obligingly unbuttoned Ye Qiu's shirt.
However, just as they were about to advance further, Bai Lan's phone rang abruptly.
Seeing it was a call from Xu Xin'Er, she immediately answered it, "Xin'Er, why are you calling so late, what's going on?"
"Something's happened! Something big!" Liao Min'Er's voice came through urgently, "I just got word that Xiangxin Group's bidding proposal was stolen.
I believe this is all arranged by Lv Zuowei. Since he stole Xiangxin Group's proposal, he probably won't spare Bai Group either. So I called you immediately, hoping it's not too late!"
"This is trouble!"
Upon hearing Liao Min'Er's words, Bai Lan was instantly anxious. She hung up the phone, quickly got dressed, and said to Ye Qiu, "Someone may try to steal Bai Group's bidding proposal; I have to go to the company and check!"
"I'll go with you." Ye Qiu said.
Once dressed, the two drove towards Bai Group!
Just two minutes from Bai Group, Bai Lan's phone suddenly rang again.
Answering the call, a man's voice came through, "Hello, President Bai, I'm from the Jiangnan Police Station. Just now, your Bai Group's alarm system was triggered, and the police received the alert.
I've already brought people to the scene and found that something seems to have been stolen, so I'd appreciate you coming over as soon as possible."
"I'll be right there!" Bai Lan hung up, her face unprecedentedly grim.
Just now, she was elated about the company's bidding proposal and determined to win the municipal project, but within minutes, the crucial bidding document was stolen!
After working so hard, Bai Lan could not accept such an outcome.
"Hurry! Hurry up!" Bai Lan urged Ye Qiu anxiously.
Ye Qiu had already floored the accelerator, driving the car swiftly through the alleyways.
A minute later, the two arrived at Bai Group!
Then, they headed straight for the president's office!
Opening the safe, Bai Lan's face froze, "Sure enough... the bidding document has been stolen."
"It's over, it's completely over this time!"
Bai Lan looked up at Ye Qiu, momentarily at a loss for what to do.
