Zhao Youlin’s face went blank for a few seconds, and her eyes suddenly turned cold. She turned to look at the person-in-charge of the investigation and asked coldly, “What’s going on?”
‘The person-in-charge was shocked by Zhao Youlin’s glare and immediately broke out in cold sweat. He said awkwardly, “General manager, here’s how it is. The matter you asked us to investigate previously was actually found out by this gentleman…”
‘When the person-in-charge explained this… Zhao Youlin’s face tuned even darker. “What do you mean by that matter was found out by this gentleman? If I remember correctly, when I asked you to investigate this matter previously, I specifically instructed you to keep this matter a secret from anyone.
Are you guys taking my words for granted
This was the first time Zhao Youlin had spoken to this group of people in such a stern tone. They were all scared out of their wits and did not dare to speak.
The culprit who caused this situation did not seem to be aware of it. After silently watching Zhao Youlin reprimand those people, he slowly opened his mouth and said, “No matter what, we are old friends. Are old friends that unwelcome in your sight?”
Zhao Youlin really wanted to glare at him.
‘Of course, I don’t want to see you. And if possible, I don’t want to see you again in my life!’
Zhao Youlin took a deep breath and tried her best to suppress the raging anger in her heart. She looked at the man who was smiling like a wallflower and said with a fake smile, “Mr. Qin, do you want to hear the truth or something sugarcoated?”
Qin… That’s right. The man in front of her who currently wore a wide smile and looked gentle and amiable was the man who had almost exposed Zhao Youlin’s identity in the hospital that day. In the end, Zhao Youlin was able to brush him off without any danger. He never appeared in front of Zhao Youlin
again… until now!
After that incident, this man never came to look for Zhao Youlin again. Zhao Youlin only knew that he was moved by her words and heaved a huge sigh of relief. As time passed, she no longer took it to heart.
But just when Zhao Youlin almost forgot about this person, he actually… appeared again, and in such a manner.
Qin Huai did not expect Zhao Youlin to be so straightforward. He was stunned for a moment and said with a bitter smile, “You are just as straightforward as ever.”
Zhao Youlin chuckled. Under Qin Huai’s clear gaze, she had already calmed down. She replied unhurriedly, “Mr. Qin, I’m really sorry. My subordinates didn’t keep their mouths shut and caused such a ridiculous matter. It’s fine if I didn’t know, but now that I do, I naturally can’t let this matter continue to be
ridiculous. If there’s nothing else, Mr. Qin, you should head back first. I still have some important matters to discuss with my subordinates.”
“In other words, I didn’t know anything about them revealing important matters to you. But now that I know, this matter will end here. Hurry up and go back to where you came from. I still have important matters to discuss with my subordinates. It’s not convenient for an outsider like you to be here!”
Was this an order for him to leave? Qin Huai’s eyes flashed slightly. He did not avoid Zhao Youlin’s eyes and said in a low voice, “Ms. Zhao, are you sure you want to do this? I have something that you want.”
When Zhao Youlin heard this, her expression suddenly froze. Her gaze turned colder as she looked at the surrounding intelligence officers, who were so afraid that they had remained quiet.
The intelligence officers felt their legs go weak under Zhao Youlin’s gaze. They wished they could just hug their heads and crouch down in surrender.
Zhao Youlin took a few deep breaths before she could suppress the urge to swear. She looked up at Qin Huai and said bluntly, “So, you have something I want. Are you here to make a deal?”
Qin Huai was stunned by Zhao Youlin’s words. After a long while, he didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as he replied, “Ms. Zhao, can you stop thinking of me as… such an opportunist?”
Qin Huai’s pleading tone stunned Zhao Youlin even more. She seemed to have realized that she had overreacted and coughed lightly. She tried her best to soften her tone. “So, you are prepared to give it to me for free?”
“Of course not.” Qin Huai keenly sensed that Zhao Youlin’s attitude towards him had softened after he played coy. The corners of his lips curled up slightly, and a hint of cunning appeared in his cold eyes, “Ms. Zhao, you should be very well aware of how tricky the subject of your investigation is, and it
would not be easy to trace every end. I have spent a lot of effort. Wouldn’t it be a big loss if I just give it to you, free of charge?”
Zhao Youlin was stunned.
‘So that’s how it is. How could he say that he was not an opportunist? Are you f*cking kidding me?”
Zhao Youlin resisted the urge to open fire and beat him up. Gritting her teeth, she asked, “Stop beating around the bush. Just tell me what exactly you want.”
‘As she spoke, Zhao Youlin glared at the people beside her. If it weren’t for these people, they wouldn’t be in this situation now. Did she have to end up doing this?
They shivered when Zhao Youlin swept her glance at them, and their heads sank even further.
Zhao Youlin was furious, but she had no other choice. She could only wait for Qin Huai to state his terms.
However, to the surprise of everyone in the office, Qin Huai did not ask for an exorbitant price in the end, but..
“It’s very simple. As long as you agree to talk to me alone.”
‘As soon as Qin Huai said this, the intelligence officers who had been looking down at their feet suddenly raised their heads and looked at Qin Huai with their mouths agape, as if they did not understand why Qin Huai would give up on this great opportunity. A private chat with their general manager?
Wait, a private chat? Could it be that this person was treating their general manager… Oh, my God, they seemed to have discovered something extraordinary. After all, their General Manager was now a married woman, moreover, her husband was the President of the Mu Feng Group. This person dared to
tease their General Manager like this. Was he really not afraid of death?
Zhao Youlin’s face had already turned completely gloomy the moment Qin Huai made his request. Who knew? Ever since she was interrogated by Qin Huai in the hospital that day, what she had been most worried about was to be left alone with this person.
Who would have thought that her greatest fear would come true? The request this person made today was exactly what she had been most worried about… This was the worst-case scenario!
