The Bigshot Shocks The World When She Backs Home

915 His Fiancée

Yao Ran despised him for it, but at the same time, he was her only hope. She struggled against the man who was holding her by the collar.

As for Yang Ming, he was deeply disappointed with Yao Ran’s performance earlier.

And so, he grabbed the opportunity to cast her aside and abandon her.

In truth, Yao Ran had always known that he was a cold and ruthless person. But she told herself that it was a worthwhile risk if it gave her the chance to wield the Yang family’s power in her favor.

“Young master Yang, the drug I gave you is not the latest prototype!” she called out to Yang Ming. “I have an even more refined version in my possession. If you want it, then you know what you should do!”

As soon as he heard the words, Yang Ming grew even more irritated.

Yao Ran was hoping against hope that her last gamble would work out.

She had no way of knowing whether Yang Ming would save her or not. If he turned his back on her now, she would be in for great suffering.

The Meng family was known to have some connections in the underworld.

Just thinking about the possibilities drained all the color from Yao Ran’s face. Her heart was pounding so hard, she felt it might break through her chest.

Yang Ming was seething.

People had called this girl smart, but she didn’t even know how to tie up loose ends and had to be rescued from some remote words.

Now, just as he was thinking that she was dumb, after all, she came up with good leverage to hold over his head.

It turned out that Yao Ran, whom he had thought to be loyal to him, had, in fact, been holding out from him all this time. If things had not unfolded the way that they had, he would never have known that the drug sample he had was outdated!

That wench!

Yang Ming raged and debated between saving Yao Ran and leaving her to the wolves.

If he came to her aid, then he would have to go against the Meng family.

He wasn’t particularly afraid of the prospect, but he did fear that his actions would be in vain. He did not want to waste his efforts on something pointless.

Then again, Yao Ran’s value had somewhat risen in his books, thanks to her recent revelation.

Yang Ming needed to consider every angle. The research institute had already devoted much time and energy to the research, and they were about to carry out the next phase of their experiment. If he gave up now, he knew that he would eventually regret it.

After all, he had invested a lot of money in the project.

And if he wanted to see it through to the end, he would need the most refined version available, which was currently in Yao Ran’s hands.

Even if his team released their developed version of the drug to the market, it could never compare to the one produced by the Meng family, since they had the advantage of a head start. This was something he needed to address as well.

He could persevere on the research and development front, but he would still lose on the sale side of things, and all that money would be for nothing.

If he saved Yao Ran, however…

Yang Ming gritted his teeth and looked at the men pursuing her. “Stop!” he bit out unwillingly. “I am from Yang Ming of the Yang family. That girl is my fiancée. Unhand her this instant!”

He had no choice. If he didn’t stop them, he would never get that priceless drug formula.

The one leading the thugs happened to be a member of the Meng family. His name was Meng Chang, and he was a towering hulk of a man. Only an idiot would dare to trifle with him.

He strode forward and stopped in front of Yang Ming. “Are you President Yang?”

Meng Chang had never seen this young man before.

When Yang Ming had turned to leave, he just assumed that he was not connected with Yao Ran in any way. But as soon as he heard her words, the young man stayed behind and actually spoke up for her.

Meng Chang considered the possible reasons why Yang Ming would do this.

Over the years, the Meng family had poured their resources into medicinal research, and when Madam Meng had instructed them to apprehend the thief, she repeatedly emphasized that they needed to catch her no matter what. She had also told them that this girl was involved in the research secrets of the Meng family.

That, in addition to what Yao Ran had said just now, led Meng Chang to deduce that this young lady had stolen the valuable drug that was being developed by the Meng family.

She had even claimed to have the most recent prototype in her possession.

In that case, it gave them all the more reason to hold on to her.

This was related to the Meng family’s legacy.

It was no small matter.

If he didn’t handle this properly, it would be even harder for Meng Chang to establish a foothold within the Meng family in the future.

He knew that he must seize this opportunity and let the elders recognize his strength once and for all. He wanted to take an important seat among the wisest and strongest in the family.

Yang Ming was not happy with Meng Chang’s tone. It sounded like he was being questioned.

How dare he act so brazenly in front of Yang Ming?

Worse, the thug didn’t even flinch at the mention of the Yang family.

“You crazy dog!” Yang Ming snorted derisively. “Open your eyes and look carefully!”
