CHAPTER 404

The next morning, Bai Renxiang and Bai Xiaojin got ready to leave. Since Li Fengjin left for his business trip, they used that opportunity to stay with Jiang Meilin.

As soon as Bai Renxiang stepped out of their apartment, Mrs Yi did too. There was a momentary pause as they looked at each other. Just then, Mrs Yi's lips curved up into a bright smile.

"My sweet girl. It has been a really long time," she said as she pulled Bai Renxiang in for a hug.

"It is, aunt Yi. Good morning. How have you been of late?" Bai Renxiang asked.

"Oh, just the same. I am alive and kicking," Mrs Yi replied as they walked to the elevator.

"That is good to hear. And what about Minsheng? Is he alright?"

"Yes, he is. He told me about your decision of getting married to that Li boy. I am so happy for you and Xiaojin," Mrs Yi said.

"He did?" Bai Renxiang was kind of surprised.

"Of course, he did. He said he was really for you. I have also told him to move in with his life. Which is working but slowly," she shrugged.

"I am sorry, aunt Yi," Bai Renxiang apologised.

"Sorry? About what? Not being able to love my son back?" Mrs Yi asked to which Bai Renxiang nodded.

"Oh, child. There is nothing to be sorry about. Love is of choice of the heart and not a must. You can't force yourself here to love who you do not love. That is just it. So, don't worry about him, hmm? I am glad you still consider him a good friend of yours," Mrs Yi rubbed her shoulders.

"Sigh. Thank you, aunt Yi."

"You are welcome. Enjoy your life with that handsome Li boy," Mrs Yi wiggled her brows as she teased Bai Renxiang.

Ding! The elevator door slid open and they stepped out.

Bai Renxiang blushed and nodded. "I will aunt. I will see you when I see you, aunt. Please, say hi to Minsheng for me," Bai Renxiang said as she and Bai Xiaojin walked off to their awaiting car.

"I will do that. Bye Xiaojin," she waved them off.

"Bye-bye, grand aunt."

After successfully dropping Bai Xiaojin off in school, driver Xin sped off to the company. As usual, as soon as Bai Renxiang sat down on the swivel chair behind the huge desk, Xia Xinyi brought her a cup of warm chocolate drink before she began to report her (BR) schedule for the day.

She has just two meetings to attend today which was a relief for Bai Renxiang. Thankfully those meetings would not take much of her time. She could review some documents, pick Bai Xiaojin up from school and together they would go and receive Li Fengjin from the airport.

Just thinking of welcoming him made Bai Renxiang feel giddy. She has really missed him, huh? Taking deep breaths, Bai Renxiang excused Xia Xinyi and began looking at the documents she would be reviewing today.

Looking at her silver watch, Bai Renxiang nodded. She still had thirty minutes before her first meeting which will be held at the company.

"Okay, Renxiang. Let's get down to business," she said to herself.

~twenty minutes later~

Ring! Ring!

Ring! Ring!

"Hello."

"Good morning, boss. It is me, Charlie."

"Oh, Assistant Charlie. Good morning to you too. Do you have any updates for me?" She asked as she dropped her fountain pen.

"Yea, I do boss. Juicy updates, if I may add," assistant Charlie replied.

"That is great. So tell me, what did you find out?"

"Ahem! First and foremost, Lim Corporation that is being headed by Mr Lin is indeed involved with the infiltration."

"Okay. We know that."

"Then, I stumbled upon something rather illegal during my investigation."

"What is it?"

"Trafficking. Mr Lin Tian-yu is involved in an illegal business of human trafficking," Charlie dropped the bomb.

"What? How disgusting," Bai Renxiang's face scrunched up at his discovery.

"It is indeed. Not only that, those humans he trafficking would all have their organs harvested for sale," Charlie paused.

"Go on.," she urged him.

"Lastly, Lin Corporation is also involved in the production of skincare products. All through their years of production, it was found that their products never sold well because of the poor quality... But now, his company has broken through the top ten best skincare producing companies."

"So, that means that the formula that Jiang Bojing took from us was given to Mr Lin. Is that what you are getting arm" she asked.

"Yes, boss. That is the reason why Mr Lin agreed to help Jiang Bojing. And now, r Lin Tian-yu is gaining from our palm," Charlie shook his head.

"How dare that old conniving snake?" Bai Renxiang slammed her palm on her desk.

She was angry alright. Angry. She had never thought that Jiang Bojing would go this far to get revenge. He went as far as selling Jiang Corporation's top secret to their long-time enemy.

This was too outrageous.

"Calm down, boss," Charlie spoke.

He heard the loud sound of her slamming the desk and her irregular breathing. He could tell without a glimpse that she was angry.

"How could he? How could he do that to his own brother? To his own family? How far will he go to get some stupid revenge for something he brought upon himself?" Bai Renxiang questioned.

"I am afraid it is how most human minds work, boss. When driven by revenge, they become blinded to see who is family, friends or for," Charlie sighed.

The shelf was shocked when he discovered this truth. When he even told old man Jiang, the latter was so furious that he almost got a high blood pressure.

If not for the fact that his medicine was close and Charlie was able to calm the old man down, only God in heaven knows what might have happened.

There was no one who would hear such a thing that would not be enraged. This was the height of it all. The height of betrayal is so merciless even to family members.

"Just for revenge," Bai Renxiang absentmindedly said.

"Not just revenge boss," Charlie's words brought her back to their discussion.

"Huh? You mean that that Jiang Bojing had another reason for asking Mr Lin Tian-yu for help?" Bai Renxiang asked.

Just what else did he trade the destruction of Jiang Corporation for?

"It appears that Jiang Bojing has a company of his own," Charlie reported.

"A company of his own?" Her brows furrowed.

"Yes. Don't you remember? You found this out when you confronted, Jiang Bojing in one of the board meetings," Charlie said.

Bai Renxiang sighed as she fell back on the chair. Of course, she remembered. But then it was not that fact that bothered her. It was the fact that she had forgotten about Jiang Bojing.

Or rather, she did not think of him or see him as a threat since he has taken more than enough from Jiang Corporation to build his old. Even workers were not spared from his act of robbery.

He poached most of them or rather bribed them into working for him. No. Bribing is not even needed. Bai Renxiang could tell that those people who left the Jiang Corporation to work for Jiang Bojing were all bad eggs.

Now that she thought of it, deep down she was happy that they left. Good riddance to bad rubbish, they say. Who knows what other damage they would have caused the company if they remained.

Bai Renxiang made light turns on the drivel chair like she was rocking a baby to sleep. She massaged her temples as she felt a slight wave of headache wash over her head.

"Boss? Boss! Young miss, can you hear me?"

"Ah! Yes, I can hear you... Sorry. I got lost in thoughts there," she apologised and sighed.

"It is alright, boss. If you want we can continue this discussion later. It looks like your mind is being stressed out."

"No. No, don't worry. I am fine. Just continue. The earlier the better," she said.

"Alright then. So, do you remember the company now?"

"Yes."

"Great. So, Jing Xue, which is the name of the company, is an upcoming one since you were able to expose and dispose of him before he used Jiang Corporation to grow."

"And..."

"And the other reason he went to Mr Lin Tian-yu was so that he, Mr Lin would invest in a project that Jing Xue is taking on. The profits were shared with Jiang Bojing having the bigger share," Charlie stated.

"How is that possible? He is the one asking for help, isn't he?"

"He is. But Jiang Bojing took advantage of the fact that he was giving our formula to Mr Lin Tian-yu."

"What a smart way to topple over your helper," Bai Renxiang said before taking a sip from the hot chocolate.

"Indeed it is. Sigh... That is how they came to this agreement," Charlie said to conclude his report.

"Sigh. Thank you, assistant Charlie."

"You are welcome, boss. Besides, I also must aid the company I work for."

"Yes. We will talk about how we are going to expose these two men to their evil doings. I need to prepare for the meeting in five minutes."

"No problem. I await your call when you are ready to discuss this further. Have a good day ahead, boss."

"Hmm. You too."

With that said, Bai Renxiang ended the call and dried her phone on the desk. Her mind went back to all Charlie had reported to her, digesting the piece of news.

"Sigh. The day has just begun and this news came in. Urgh! I wish my Jin was here with me."
