Sheng Jun's bodyguard had already approached Li Qingqing's side.
Li Qingqing had previously thought that having the appearance of a child would be advantageous in getting close to people like Sheng Jun. Now she didn't think so anymore...
Because the bodyguard bent down and picked her up without giving her a chance to refuse.
Li Qingqing was so frightened that tears came to her eyes. "Uncle Sheng, I'm really scared..."
"Scared? What are you afraid of? Didn't you already foresee that it wouldn't fall?" Sheng Jun asked her.
I'm afraid you've tampered with the roller coaster to force me to tell the truth!
Li Qingqing cried even more pitifully, "Uncle Sheng, I've never ridden anything like this before. I'm scared of things I haven't seen."
Sheng Jun said, "Tomorrow I'll take you to watch some American blockbusters. In those movies, people who gain superpowers can't be afraid. They have to pay a big price, and in serious cases, their whole family might die."
Li Qingqing was on the verge of a complete breakdown after hearing this.
Sheng Jun waved his hand, "Go on, muster up your courage. Just like how you mustered up the courage to tell me about your superpower."
The bodyguard placed her on the roller coaster.
Finally, Li Qingqing remembered a life-saving rule: "Uncle Sheng! I'm not heavy enough! I can't stay seated, I'll fly out..."
Sheng Jun raised his chin slightly, "Help her."
The program staff in the distance noticed Li Qingqing's breakdown and couldn't help but whisper among themselves, "What's going on?"
"Don't know, Mr. Sheng just said to pause for a moment and asked us to step back."
At this moment, the bodyguard bent down and said kindly, "Miss Li Qingqing, I will strap you to the roller coaster, it will be very safe this way..."
Li Qingqing couldn't take it anymore and screamed, "I lied! I lied!"
"What did you lie about?" Sheng Jun walked over and asked.
"I... I don't have the ability to foresee, I don't." Li Qingqing cried, gasping for air. "I was just afraid you wouldn't believe me, I wanted you to take me seriously. I, I actually only know a little about things related to the Sheng Family and the Xu Family."
"Are you not lying this time?"
"No, no I'm not."
"Then how do you explain knowing these things?"
"I don't know either, it's just that after seeing Brother Sheng Yuxiao, suddenly these things appeared in my mind."
Li Qingqing was of course still lying, after all, she didn't dare say she had been reborn.
If Sheng Jun knew that an adult soul was inhabiting this child's body, she would be in even bigger trouble.
"So you're saying that Yuxiao activated some switch in your brain?"
"I guess so, I, I can't explain it clearly." Li Qingqing said timidly. "Actually, at first I wanted to tell you that Brother Yuxiao's cousin's parents would die. But I was afraid you'd think I was cursing them to die..."
Sheng Jun smiled, "Child, why didn't you say so earlier?"
It seemed the little girl in front of him was so stupid that she still didn't understand why she had been strapped to the roller coaster. If she were a bit smarter, she would have known that it would have been better to speak up about this first, rather than mentioning anything related to Sheng Corporation.
That would only have led him to determine her as a potential threat to the company.
"Wipe your tears, go ride the merry-go-round," Sheng Jun said gently, lifting Li Qingqing out.
But now Li Qingqing had no more fantasies.
It was too difficult! Every step in the world of the wealthy was treacherous!
Sheng Jun made a gesture to the distance, and the staff finally came back to continue the live broadcast.
Seeing this, Li Qingqing shuddered.
Before, she only thought this was the power of the wealthy, something to be envied!
Now, watching how easily these people were commanded by Sheng Jun, she felt like an ant that had fallen into the world of the rich - insignificant and easily crushed.
At this moment, Wei Zhen was viewing Little Duck Li in the same way.
Even if she returned to the family, she would still be too easy to dispose of.
Wei Zhen was still coldly scrutinizing Little Duck Li, but the young man in the white jacket had already strode over, his demeanor aggressive: "Do you know who I am?"
"Young Master Sheng, you've been all over the hot searches recently. Of course I know you," Wei Zhen said.
Wei Zhen had a bit of a headache, but not much fear. He had known from the start that with these reckless rich kids around, it would take some effort to take Little Duck Li away.
"Good that you know. To be honest, I don't care who you are, what Wei Family, or if your Mr. Wei is in a hurry to recognize his granddaughter. None of that matters to me."
"Young Master Sheng!" Wei Zhen angrily exclaimed, "Even if your father were here, he might not dare to speak so impolitely!"
"That's right, my father is polite. But I'm young and hot-blooded, so I dare. Is there a problem?"
"..." Wei Zhen was speechless.
In his opinion, these domestic rich kids were all spoiled rotten, relying on their parents' assets, uneducated yet arrogant to the extreme. At this rate, the decline of a family would only take two or three generations.
"You have nothing to say, but I have something to tell you. Don't come here acting all high and mighty. Be polite when speaking to Little Duck Li. I hope you realize this fact soon: it's you begging her to go back, not her begging you to take her away. The doors of the Sheng Family, the Xu Family, which one wouldn't open for her?"
Ning Heng chimed in, "Actually, the Ning Family doors could open too..."
After all, they couldn't lose face at this moment! Regardless of whether his parents would agree or not, he had to say it now!
The corner of Wei Zhen's eye twitched, and the scar on his face almost shifted due to his grotesque expression.
Controlling his emotions, he asked, "What's the basis for Young Master Sheng's words? You're all heirs to various conglomerate families. What does it mean to be an heir? You should understand better than me. It means you're uncrowned successors, without real power. Can you make decisions for your parents?"
Wei Zhen shook his head, "Forget about making decisions for your parents, what can you use to pressure me? Young masters."
[Ah, so infuriating! How can this person be so irritating?]
[The key is, I can't refute what he's saying...]
Ning Heng was also a bit agitated, "You don't think we brought bodyguards, do you?"
Wei Zhen said with certainty, "They can't beat me."
At this point, Sheng Yuxiao placed his hand on top of Little Duck Li's head, a reassuring gesture, before calmly interjecting, "To deal with you, do we need to use our parents' power? We don't even need bodyguards."
Wei Zhen's expression remained unchanged, "Oh, is that so?"
Sheng Yuxiao said, "I could just call the police. For instance, right now, you're threatening me, and I suspect you're a gang member."
Wei Zhen: "..."
Sheng Yuxiao sneered, "Been abroad for too long, have you? Forgotten where this is? Under the red flag, we're a society ruled by law! The police are watching you!"
[Damn! Young Master Sheng is still the quick-witted one!]
"The young sir is right, with you here it is indeed troublesome." After saying this, Wei Zhen's gaze returned to Little Duck Li, "Don't you have your own opinion? What do you think? Tell me."
"I think what he said is very correct," Little Duck Li said.
The corner of Wei Zhen's mouth twitched, "It seems you really don't have your own opinion."
"Don't you also think what your Mr. Wei said is correct? Why can't I think he's right? I'm still a child. You're not a child anymore," Little Duck Li shook her head at Wei Zhen.
Wei Zhen had lost count of how many times he had been left speechless today.
"Fine, go back and think it over slowly. I'll be back," Wei Zhen knew there was no point in persisting, he just put away that photo album.
He knew that for this item, the little girl would eventually bow her head.
After putting it away, Wei Zhen turned and left, walking in a completely opposite direction.
Who knows how far he had walked before he made a satellite phone call.
"Sir," he called the person on the other end.
The other end transmitted an intermittent but vigorous voice: "Mm, have you picked up the person?"
Obviously, it didn't sound like the voice of an old man like Wei Xuanming.
This was another "sir."
"I haven't picked her up. It's my incompetence," Wei Zhen briefly recounted the process.
After listening, the person on the other end frowned, "A little girl, able to stay so calm?"
"Could it be that the Sheng Family has specially taught her?" Wei Zhen speculated.
"Mm, that's possible," the person on the other end said, suddenly pausing, "Wait, our Second Young Master accidentally knocked over his bowl again. I need to go clean up."
"Thank you for your hard work, sir."
"Haha, it's what I should do. I, Wei Lin, have been by Mr. Wei's side for so many years."
Saying this, this Wei Lin ended the satellite call and slowly walked to the bedside.
Someone fell off the bed. The person was gaunt, with a pale complexion and severely atrophied leg muscles. He asked, "Who did you send Wei Zhen to pick up? What girl?"
Wei Lin crouched down, picking up the broken pieces of porcelain while saying, "Second Young Master, it seems we've found your sister's orphaned child. She's not doing well at all..."
The Second Young Master became instantly agitated, firmly grasping Wei Lin's sleeve. "What? What did you say?" His veins bulged from the effort.
However, having neglected himself for so long, he quickly lost his strength and collapsed back onto the floor.
Wei Lin made no attempt to help him up. He tossed the broken porcelain into the trash and said to the Second Young Master, "It's terrible, truly terrible. She doesn't have enough to eat or wear, and her body is covered in marks from beatings. Her grandfather even wants to sell her as a child bride. But your legs have been useless for so many years now. Even if you wanted to rush over there, you wouldn't be able to make it."
