Chapter 674 We have a mission (2/2)

Not only that, but he also wasn't close to the old man or ever held a conversation together.

However, after Yue Ling's sudden visit today, he finally understood.

General Ji's invitation was a warning to his face. If he or anyone dares to go against Yue Ling, they will be going against him (Grandfather Ji) too.

Thinking this, Guo Rong heaves another long sigh and moves his hand to massage his temples.

”As for why the information was not released to the media is because General Ji made sure that no one from the banquet said a word.”

The room quickly fell into silence again as no one knew what else to say. Now that they know who is backing Yue Ling, there is no way they can try to find trouble for her.

Xu Zhengyi stares at the space in front of him as his body turns sluggish and he slumps more into his chair.

”Going against her means going against two of Imperial's most respectable and fearsome men…”

Outside of An Qing, Yue Ling stood in front of the opened backseat door to one of the three black cars.

She looks at Liu Shan with furrow brows before slightly narrowing her eyes suspiciously. Normally, he is her driver, but the moment they stepped out of An Qing, he suggested Qi Li drive her back to De L'amour and asked for the remaining day off.

”Liu Shan, what are you up to?”

Hearing her question, Liu Shan flashes a wide grin at her and place an arm over Lin Hui's shoulder.

”I have something to do and need Lin Hui's help.”

He cast a quick glance at Qi Li and sends the man a look full of secrecy. However, as the person that she is, Yue Ling saw everything.

She shakes her head and decides not to question his reason for suddenly asking to leave work.

”Alright, I get it. You have something more important to do than work.”

Liu Shan wanted to retort and say that work is his number one priority but thinking about why he needed to take the day off, he could only press his lips tightly together. He forcefully nods his head at her while his soul was crying on the inside.

”Boss, I promise, only for today.”

Yue Ling stares at the two men for a long minute before turning away and enters the car. She swore, she is too lenient with her subordinates. If it had been someone else, she was sure Liu Shan would have been fired on the spot.

Watching the two black cars drive away, Lin Hui shoves away Liu Shan's arm that was still wrapped over his shoulder.

”Dude, are you courting death? What's so important that you have to take the day off?”

His last word fell, and a thought came to him. His eyes lit up and he leans closer to the assistant.

”Are we sneaking back inside to end the lives of those faithless beings?”

”…”

Liu Shan was struck dumbfounded by the man. He stares back at Lin Hui and couldn't help but wonder if he had chosen the wrong person for the job. Maybe he should have asked Qi Li or someone else.

However, knowing he is already stuck with Lin Hui, he sighs and turns for the remaining black car.

”Get in. We have a mission.”

Lin Hui purse his lip as he frowns. He sees Liu Shan already entering the driver seat and quickly jogs over to the passenger side of the car.

”What mission? I don't recall boss mentioning anything about a mission.”

Seated inside the car, Liu Shan turns on the engine, and his eyes flashing with a beaming light as a mischievous smile curl on his lip.

”It's not from boss. This is our first mission from our boss man.”
