Chapter 265: Mercenary Group Running Errands
At this moment, Shang Qiongying, upon hearing Shang Fu’s explanation, turned her eyes, brimming with shrewdness, towards the window.
She raised her hand to touch her pearl earring and smiled thoughtfully, "Is that so? Your so-called letting down their guard is running to South Sea Mountain behind my back to tip him off?"
Shang Fu’s expression tensed, but she quickly regained her composure, "Aunt, you’re overthinking it. It’s true that I went to South Sea Mountain last night, but I came back shortly after. You can’t blame me for the Mercenary Group’s failure."
"Little Fu, you should remember how you got to where you are today," Shang Qiongying said with a gaze that quietly returned to her face. That expression, although smiling, somehow made Shang Fu feel uneasy.
Shang Fu nodded slightly towards Shang Qiongying, her tone much more respectful, "I always keep Aunt’s promotion in mind."
"Mhm, that’s good. Otherwise... I wouldn’t want to raise an ungrateful wolf in sheep’s clothing for no reason. Old Lee, let’s go."
After Shang Qiongying finished her last sentence, she casually picked up the magazine and continued to flip through it.
And for Shang Fu, these words were nothing less than a warning.

In the evening, Li Qiao took a helicopter to leave South Sea Mansion.
Her car was still parked at the entrance of the Mountain Road, and since police tapes had been set up around the road, the car remained where it was.
