Chapter 852 - 827:
Facing the exclusion of others, the Squad Leader still insisted, "Haoran is an excellent young man. Being so young and having such insights and intelligence, he is indeed outstanding. After joining the Elder Council, you all should mentor him more!"
Seeing the Squad Leader so insistent, the others did not dare to say much and could only nod repeatedly.
Kong Haoran’s lips curled slightly, revealing a sinister and evil smile. He thought to himself, Li Ruo, you bitch, I won’t let you off this time. I will definitely have you submit beneath me!
Yun Qi looked at Kong Haoran curiously, not expecting that he would gain the Squad Leader’s appreciation, which she hadn’t anticipated. However, this made her see Kong Haoran in a new light.

United States, New York Wall Street, ever since she was kidnapped on Wall Street last time, Li Ruo frequently shuttled in and out cautiously, refusing to go shopping unless absolutely necessary. Even when her playmates called, she wouldn’t go out. She still harbored a deep-seated grievance over the incident.
At 5:30 PM, it was time to finish work. Li Ruo tidied her desk briefly, and her secretary immediately stepped forward to hand her papers and see her off downstairs. She habitually called Ye Chen after work every day, although she sometimes forgot when she was too busy working overtime. Having finished work on time today, she naturally missed Ye Chen a bit. A call was made, and Ye Chen quickly answered the phone.
"You scoundrel, where are you now?" Li Ruo asked through gritted teeth. It’s hard not to act like a little woman when you miss someone.
"Oh, I’m outside!" Ye Chen chuckled.
"Then why do I hear a woman’s voice?" Li Ruo asked suspiciously, a tactic she often used to see if Ye Chen would confess without being pressed.
