Chapter 603: A Plaster In Human Form (1/2)

“Look, I have come to see you several times and yet nothing has happened. It only proves that you have thought of letting me go, haven’t you? Otherwise, you’d have sent someone to arrest me!”

“Excuse me. I believe you overthink. No one has come for you only because I have retired and you have nothing to do with me now.”

“I didn’t know that you really stick to your professional ethics.”

Wen He arched the corner of her mouth, sneering at him, knowing that the more incorruptible he was, the harder it would get what she wanted. Swirling the water in the glass in her hand, she said, “Ultimately, the Huo Family gained its status virtually by its tie to the military. But now, with Huo Yunting in Thunderbolt Corp and Huo Zhenning getting old and frail, I believe that your mother would not be pleased about your retirement.”

She put down the glass, jumped down from the desk, and walked towards him. ” You’d better not waste your time in Huo Family Corp. It is beyond resuscitation. Since the guy with the name Xiang has wished it, don’t you think he has lost interest in the Huo Family Corp long ago? His focus is no longer here.”

“I know.” Huo Chen finally slightly casted his eyes on her. “Like I said, going back is not that simple. Stop dreaming.”

“Why not talk to the officer-in-charge, asking him to grant us a chance?”

She slowly leaned closer to him.

But Huo Chen quietly took a couple of steps back. “The last time you came, I had talked to him but he refused.”

Wen He was transfixed upon hearing his reply. All the while, she had been thinking that he did not take her to heart. Little did she know that he had tried to help. But since the officer-in-charge had refused, it only meant that Huo Chen was her only way out.

“For the sake of three of our lives, you should go back.”

“You should leave.” He closed the file in his hands and rubbed his tired eyes.

“No, all I got is time. I will stick with you.”

Lu Bai was still in the hospital after the accident. With a female bodyguard by his side, she had no way getting in to see him.

So her priority now was to fix Huo Chen. She was tired of hiding—she did not want to live a life like this.

“Well, up to you.”
