Chapter 373 - The Scary Scene

Chapter 373 The Scary Scene

Yi Yunrui looks at Zhou Mengyao’s sincere eyes. He slightly frowns. He thinks for quite a while before he responds, “It is up to Ning. Aunt Zhou, don’t worry.”

So, Yi Yunrui is not against it. Zhou Mengyao gives a sigh of relief.

“Thank you, Rui.” Zhou Mengyao takes up the coffee for a sip. She lowers her eyes to hide the excitement in it.

She wants to take Ning as her nominal daughter because of her own health problem and also because of Junhao Group. Actually, there is a third reason, which she doesn’t want to tell and is not allowed to tell.

However, as a smart man, may Yi Yunrui notice her plan?

If he has realized her plan, as the youngest son of the Yi family, will he agree?

Thinking about this, Zhou Mengyao stealthily glances at Yi Yunrui and finds him looking at her. She feels a little panic and draws back her eyes at once.

Maybe...he has noticed it.

It is in the Chief Editor Office.

“Chief Editor, what do you tell me to come here for?” Xia Ning politely greets and sits down in front of Leng Weiwei.

Leng Weiwei looks at Xia Ning for a while, and then she says, “You look great. It seems that you have recovered. Are you OK to work?”

“No problem. Chief Editor, please don’t worry.”

“Good.” Leng Weiwei passes a file to Xia Ning, “These are new candidates. You are in charge of interviews and evaluations. In a month, Ruoruo is going to her new position, and you need to find an assistant.”

Xia Ning opens the file and looks at the resumes of the new recruits. All of them are very excellent in all aspects. Xia Ning remembers Su Xueli. She has some questions. She thinks for a while and puts down the material.

“Chief Editor, I have a question, and I want to figure it out. I wonder if it is convenient for you to tell me.”

“Is it about Su Xueli?”

“Yes.”

Leng Weiwei thinks for a while. She slowly says, “She is recommended by the headquarters. Based on some internal information, it is because that Su Xueli’s father used to help a senior officer in the headquarters. That officer asked Su Xueli to come to work in World Era Weekly. I think that her educational background must be fake.

That’s it. No wonder she found Su Xueli behaved not like a well-educated elite.

“Oh. I see.” As if she remembers something, Xia Ning asks, “Su Xueli doesn’t work here now. Are there any comments from the headquarters?”

“Su Xueli asked to quit herself. So, the headquarters didn’t comment.” Leng Weiwei pauses here for a while and continues, “Ning, as to Su Xueli, I want to say sorry to you. I promise that it won’t happen again. I hope you can forgive me.”

Xia Ning smiles, “I understand that it was tough for you. I have known you for a long time. Let’s just forget it and move on. Anyway, this time, I really need to carefully choose my assistant.”

“Hum. Sure.”

When they are talking, Xia Ning’s phone rings. She turns to Leng Weiwei and says, “Excuse me.” Then she takes up her phone and sees that it is Gu Ruoruo.

It is surprising. Gu Ruoruo knows that Xia Ning is in the Chief Editor Office. Why does she look for her so urgently?

Leng Weiwei notices Xia Ning’s confusion. She says, “There are not any other special things. You may go back to your office if you are busy.”

“OK,” Xia Ning responds and turns to leave.

She closes the door of the Chief Editor Office and presses the answer button, “Ruoruo, what’s wrong...”

“Sister Xia, I have to ask for leave! The hospital called, saying that my brother’s ward was surrounded by a group of army men. I need to go there to see what happens.”

Gu Ruoruo sounds very anxious. Xia Ning responds at once, “OK. You may go now. Wait. It is abnormal. You may call my elder brother.”

It is inconvenient for Yi Yunrui to deal with it with his current position. Or, she might have asked Yi Yunrui to go there.

“OK. Sister Xia, I may leave now.” Xia Ning hasn’t responded when Gu Ruoruo has hung up the phone.

It is in the C Military Region Hospital.

There are a lot of army men standing in the large ward. It looks tense.

Gu Luan glances around and stops his eyes at one of the commanders, who still has some bandages on his body. “Commander, I don’t know what I have done to bother you to come here.”

Fang Youqi checks over Gu Luan dismissively. He hates genteel wordings most.

“You are Gu Luan, the director of that weekly, aren’t you?”

“Yes, I am Gu Luan, the director of World Era Weekly.” Gu Luan has met a lot of people. He is aware that this army man doesn’t come with good intentions. He asks, “Commander, how can I address you?”

Fang Youqi glances at Adjutant He, who is standing beside him. Adjutant He understands and responds, “This is Deputy-commander Fang of C City.”

Gu Luan lifts his eyebrows, “Oh. Deputy-commander Fang. Nice to meet you.”

He heard that a new commander came to C City. Seemingly, that is him.

“Mr. Gu, our commander comes to you this time. He hopes that you cooperate with the army to create a harmonious society.”

Adjutant He thinks that he should also speak in a literary way before a man of letters.

Gu Luan’s eyes gleam. He turns to Fang Youqi, “I don’t understand what the commander means.”

“Mr. Gu, please hand over the name list of major figures of the illegal society in C City. It would be better if you include the maps with descriptions,” He Hong responds directly.

Hearing this, Gu Luan frowns.

The problem is not that he doesn’t have the list, but that he can’t hand it over to them.

Deputy-commander Fang is injured. Seemingly, he had some trouble because of something. He is looking for the boss behind that.

If the deputy-commander gets the name list today, while the army comes to Gu Luan openly and everyone notices that, it is easy to figure out that Gu Luan hands over the name list.

Ever since ancient times, legal and illegal societies always exist together. There are rules in the game. If he hands it over, he will break the rule of the game, and he will be put in danger at that time.

The Deputy-commander Fang really brings a tough task to him.

Fang Youqi is aware of Gu Luan’s hesitation. He feels a little impatient. “Director Gu. You are the director of ... World Era Weekly. You are a journalist. You must know more people than I do. If you can give me the name list, I believe it will be much easier for me to deal with the case.”

“Commander Fang, since you deliberately come to me, I may tell you the truth. If I say that I don’t have the name list, you can’t believe me. But, if I give the name list to you, I will be risking my life. I hope Commander Fang can understand my difficulty.”

Fang Youqi hears Gu Luan’s words. He darkens his face!

He Hong looks at their expressions and is aware that Fang Youqi is displeased. He said seriously, “Gu Luan, our commander deliberately comes to meet you. That is flattering you. Don’t neglect the respect and ask for humiliation! Are you concerned about your safety? Listen to me. If you don’t hand it over, you will know the consequences.”

The news that Fang Youqi was beaten spread all over the C Military Region very soon. In an instant, Fang Youqi became a big joke. Fang Youqi was furious. He even called Director Tong of the police office in person to warn him openly and stealthily. Director Tong took some actions. However, it had been days, and he hadn’t found out anything. In Director Tong’s opinion, it seemed that he had met a tough rival.

That was ... bad!

Director Tong’s response made Fang Youqi furious. He wanted to lecture Director Tong. But He Hong stopped him. After all, the Army and police belonged to the same system, and they might need some help from Director Tong in the future. However, Fang Youqi turned his anger at He Hong. He Hong had to withstand the bitterness. He had just come to C City for a few days and didn’t know many influential people in C City. Director Tong didn’t help, and he didn’t have any other solutions.

He heard from a young soldier that the director of World Era Weekly was also in the hospital. He Hong felt excited. It could be a good chance!

He failed to press tough men. He might bring pressure to a gentle one!

Wasn’t he just a director of a weekly? How tough can he be? That was him!

Gu Luan hears what He Hong says. He slightly screws his eyes. The commander and his adjutant put on the interactive play. They come to him with an obvious plan.

“My list is a little out of date. I may check it and give it to Commander Fang later. But I am not well now. So, please wait for a few days...”

“Nonsense!” Gu Luan hasn’t finished his words while Fang Youqi has lost his patience, “Gu Luan, do you think I am a fool? I hate journalists like you most! There is nothing good in your brain. Listen to me. Give me the list now! Or, I will dismantle your so-called weekly!”

Not expecting that Fang Youqi will react so emotionally, Gu Luan darkens his eyes, realizing that he has met an irrational man!

“You have to get it today? Well. I try. Anyway, if there are any mistakes, please forgive me.”

Fang Youqi widens his eyes, “You are bargaining with us? Do you have the competence for that?”

“It is not a matter of competence. I just tell the truth...” Gu Luan has not finished his words, but he stops.

There is a gun pointing at his head.

It is Fang Youqi holding the gun.

The air seems to be frozen at once.

“Gu Luan, listen carefully. I want to have that list within today. If there are any mistakes in it, you are dead!”

Gu Luan purses his lips into a line, and he doesn’t respond.

Receiving no responses from Gu Luan, Fang Youqi presses Gu Luan’s head with the gun, “Do you understand or not?”

“What are you doing? Put down the gun!”

Suddenly, a voice is heard, the majesty it shows shocked Fang Youqi seriously.

He turns to the door and sees a tall, handsome man. He looks dignified and overwhelmingly mighty. Everyone is shocked. Fang Youqi unconsciously trembles his hands.

“Who are you? Who allows you to come in?”

Wait. The man looks very familiar as if he has met him somewhere else.

“My name is Yi Yunyi. Commander, this is the military region hospital, not a battlefield. A gun is not supposed to point at people of our side.”

Yi Yunyi, Yi...Fang Youqi darkens his face.

No wonder that he looks so familiar. It turns out that he is from Yi Villa!

He hates the Yi’s most!

“Ah! What are you doing! Let go of my brother!”

Suddenly, someone cries, and then a slim woman rushes to stand in front of Fang Youqi. She holds out her hands to grab the gun from Fang Youqi.

Yi Yunrui loses his color, “Ruoruo!”
