Chapter 943 - Chapter 943 Chapter 942 New Love
Chapter 943: Chapter 942: New Love Chapter 943: Chapter 942: New Love Having realized this, Yan Lirong quickly calmed down, and reported a series of addresses, then Ning Di silently turned the corner and headed towards the destination.
In the darkened back seat of the car, where no lights had been turned on, sat two men with upright and tall figures, exuding a daunting sense of oppression. Yan Lirong didn’t dare to play any tricks and took the initiative to speak up. “Major General Huo, may I ask why you are looking for me? Do you have any orders?”
“Indeed I do.”
Yan Lirong’s breath hitched, almost unable to catch her breath. She inwardly exclaimed, was this Major General Huo so direct, so unsparing of others’ feelings?
Despite her internal critique, she still had to gather her courage and say, “Then please, what are your orders?”
Huo Beijiang sneered, propping his elbow on his knee, unconsciously rubbing his chin, and prodded, “So straightforward? What if my orders are contrary to Fu Yiming’s?”
Even with a strong psychological fortitude, Yan Lirong felt backed into a corner. She had worked for Fu Yiming for ten years, relying on not just exceptional work ability but also on loyalty.
To ask her to betray Fu Yiming was to ask the impossible. Yet, thinking back to everything she had just seen at the Fu Family and the scenes while accompanying Fu Yiming to gatherings, she knew very well that Huo Beijiang was not someone she could afford to offend.
Not only could she not afford to offend him, neither could Fu Yiming.
“Ms. Yan, it’s time for you to make a statement.”
Yan Lirong bravely spoke up, “I’m sorry, Major General Huo, I cannot do things that go against my conscience.” This was her bottom line.
“Ha!” Huo Beijiang scoffed, “After so many years with Fu Yiming, are you not clear about whether you’ve done anything against your conscience? Don’t pretend to be noble in front of me, I have no patience for deceit in my sight.”
Yan Lirong was startled, a cold sweat soaking the clothes sticking to her back.
“The business world is the most treacherous, and the crime rate for economic offenses is even higher than that for criminal offenses. If you can’t remember, I can help you list, one by one, all the things you’ve done following Fu Yiming over the years.”
Yan Lirong didn’t dare say anything else, hurriedly making her stance clear, “Major General Huo, whatever your orders are, please say them directly. As long as it’s within my capabilities, I will certainly do it. Even if it’s not, I will try my best.”
“Good,” Huo Beijiang said, pleased.
He shifted to a more languid posture, leaning against the back of the chair, and gestured for Ying Jiuming to continue.
“Ahem…” Ying Jiuming cleared his throat.
The person who had been silent finally spoke, startling Yan Lirong into sitting upright and attentive. She didn’t dare turn around, but listened intently.
