Chapter 257: Dominant Oppression
Liu Yao had just arrived at the front door, escorted by her bodyguards, when she saw someone waiting. She became immediately tense.
Given the recent attack, both the male and female bodyguards increased their vigilance. They stepped forward to inquire about the identity of the visitor.
The guest claimed that he was from the same country as Liu Yao. Aware of her attack, he suggested that she return to their homeland with him, where she could receive better protection.
Liu Yao could guess who the person was but didn’t respond. Instead, she stepped into the house. At the moment she felt like a ship without a rudder, uncertain of what to do. She decided to give her father a call.
Upon hearing the news, Liu Zhendong’s face changed color. He immediately called Yuan Zhenggang for a discussion. They talked late into the night, their hearts filled with worry.
"What should we do? The boss wants to harm Liu Yao. We must do something about it. How about we talk to him?" Liu Zhendong cherished his daughter, Liu Yao. Unwilling to lose her, at this moment, he desperately needed the support of his brother-in-law.
In response, Yuan Zhenggang nodded, but after much thought, he said, "Firstly, we can’t confirm if it was the boss who sent someone to attack Liu Yao. If we recklessly accuse the boss, we risk angering him. Secondly, the fact that someone approached Liu Yao immediately after her attack, could it be a coincidence?"
Upon hearing this, Liu Zhendong gasped in fear. "What do you mean? You’re suggesting that the higher-ups arranged an attack on Liu Yao, making us believe it was the boss’s doing. Consequently, it will create a rift between us, pushing Liu Yao to spill all the secrets."
Yuan Zhenggang nodded once again, "That is highly probable. Otherwise, it’s too much of a coincidence that men from both the boss and the higher-ups located Liu Yao on the same day. We were careful in obscuring Liu Yao’s whereabouts abroad"
