123: Chapter 123 Admit Cowardice?
Mole?
May your whole family die off!
Tang Xiao’s full-throated curse silenced ng Changxin.
The two underlings responsible for following them were even more terrified by that deadly murderous aura.
The impressive military exploits were no fabrication or empty bragging.
Even though she was injured, Tang Xiao, who had countless lives on her hands, could have easily snuffed out the two of them as if they were re ants.
…
In the hospital, separated by a phone call, ng Changxin could feel Tang Xiao’s intent to kill.
Domineering female CEO, fierce female War King…
was it all just an empty reputation?
A widow?
ng Changxin suddenly understood.
The underlings who had followed them before reported that Tang Xiao and Wu Jie had taken pictures together, probably to register for marriage.
Now Tang Xiao’s words confird it.
With Wu Jie becoming a son-in-law of the Tang Family, and the Tang Family being Tianyuan’s local boss…
Temperantal Tang Xiao would absolutely put her words into action.
If Wu Jie died, could he really withstand the retaliation from the Tang Family?
May your whole family die off…
those words were not just said in vain.
Taking a deep breath, ng Changxin, lying on the hospital bed, hung up the phone abruptly.
He didn’t want to capitulate over the phone and apologize due to Tang Xiao’s threats—he couldn’t bring himself to say it.
And because he didn’t know how to respond to Tang Xiao, he simply hung up.
His mind was in turmoil.
ng Changxin knew that the incident from last night originated from himself.
Feeling emboldened by the support of an international consortium, he got cocky and ended up saying things he shouldn’t have.
Speaking disrespectfully about his deceased wife, he was knocked unconscious by Tang Long.
Insulting his dead mother, he dodged Tang Xiao’s furious kick, but couldn’t escape Wu Jie’s beating, and even his bodyguard Luo Wen was injured.
In the end, ng Changxin should not have disrespectfully insulted the dead.
Even his friends Zhang Canzi and Pang Kunlin, who ca to visit, said anyone else would have definitely exploded in rage.
If last night it had been Tang Long being insulted about his deceased parents, perhaps he would have raged as well?
So…
ng Changxin truly never thought about becoming enemies with the Tang Family, becoming mortal foes.
He was a businessman at heart, only interested in profit.
Was he to be so proud as to suffer alive just for the sake of revenge?
Or swallow the bitter pill silently and pretend nothing happened?
ng Changxin was a rchant, and he began to weigh the gains and losses should the situation escalate further.
…
On the other side.
The scene was very awkward.
The two underlings responsible for the surveillance had not expected their boss to be so cowardly.
He hung up without even saying hello.
Tang Xiao and Wu Jie, they could really fight!
What could they do?
They felt utterly hopeless!
Their eyes t, and without a word, the driver shifted into reverse.
Vroom!
Abandoning the mobile phone, the Buick sedan sped away.
“Uh…
does this count as highway robbery?” Wu Jie asked, stunned.
No sooner had he spoken than the phone rang.
“The phone was busy earlier, I…”
“No need to explain!” Tang Xiao interrupted coldly, “Speak if you have sothing to say, fart if you have to!”
ng Changxin said resentfully, “I was out of line last night and accidentally insulted your mother, that was wrong of , but him attacking and injuring and Luo Wen was too much!”
Tang Xiao snorted coldly, “If both sides are at fault, then let’s call it even!
But what else do you want?
You won’t be happy until soone dies, right?”
“Let’s call it even, but there’s no way you can win the East Africa SAM project against !”
“Seems you still have anger pent up inside, wanting to turn the tables in the business world, huh?
Fine then, we shall see!”
After hanging up, Tang Xiao tossed the phone to Wu Jie.
“We must find the mole as soon as possible!”
Wu Jie nodded, “He’s so arrogant, it looks like the mole he’s colluding with holds a high position and authority, and must also have significant influence over the East Africa SAM project!”
Tang Xiao frowned as she pondered.
After parking the car and taking the elevator, as soon as the elevator doors closed, Tang Xiao said,
“Co with to the Supervision Departnt first.
Don’t ask why—you’ll know when we get there!”
Wu Jie thought to himself, I didn’t even want to ask.
…
The Supervision Departnt, a special departnt that strikes fear into the employees of the entire corporation.
It had imnse power, capable of investigating and even dismissing and prosecuting individuals for issues as small as falsifying educational or employnt records.
The Intelligence Section, a sub-unit, was specifically dedicated to internal anti-corruption and counter-espionage efforts.
Wu Jie had long heard that if soone was invited by the Supervision Departnt for tea, it definitely ant big trouble.
The elevator arrived at the eighth floor.
The Supervision Departnt had a separate access control system and was guarded 24 hours a day at its only entry and exit point.
Without Tang Xiao leading the way, Wu Jie would have had no authority to enter.
They went straight through without obstruction, heading directly to the director’s office.
Dou Cheng, in his fifties with a head full of white hair, was studying stock market trend charts.
He was a comrade-in-arms with Tang Long and had many years of experience in political and legal work.
Tang Long had put in a lot of effort to poach him to beco the director.
Knock, knock, knock!
Hearing the knock on the door, Dou Cheng quickly switched his computer screen and yelled “Co in.”
“President Tang, this is…”
“The mole who leaked secrets of the West Africa project has been elusive for months.
I’ve brought you a newcor in hopes that a fresh mind might help root out the mole!”
Tang Xiao was always straightforward, not caring if her words might imply a jab at the Supervision Departnt’s incompetence.
“Great!
That’s wonderful!”
Dou Cheng was stunned for a mont before he hurriedly gestured for them to sit down.
Seated across from Dou Cheng at the coffee table, he gave Wu Jie a look-over.
“A fine young man indeed.
Mr.
Tang has ntioned you to multiple tis, and now that you’re not only President Tang’s partner but also an operative in the Security Affairs Departnt, getting involved in this case is certainly most fitting.”
Wu Jie’s eyebrows knitted together in an instant.
Ding!
[System: Gained Dou Cheng’s hatred 5000]
Strange!
With no injustice between us, why the hell do you hate , Dou Cheng?
Is it because I married President Tang or because I was brought in to investigate the case?
Dou Cheng, well into his years and a senior of Tang Xiao, was unlikely to be jealous.
So, it had to be…
the investigation!
“As an operative, I’m like a brick, moved wherever there’s a need,” Wu Jie responded with a grin.
Dou Cheng gave an almost imperceptible snort before he laughed and said,
“Since that is the case, would you mind going back to the Marketing Departnt to investigate your old colleagues?”
As he said this, Tang Xiao also turned her head to look at Wu Jie.
Clearly, she also suspected that the mole was in the Marketing Departnt.
After all, the Marketing Departnt interacts with clients, operates projects, and participates in bids…
the possibility for leaks was too significant.
Yet, faced with their gazes, Wu Jie simply chuckled and shook his head.
“Why should we investigate the Marketing Departnt?
If you ask , we should investigate you!”
Boom!
Tang Xiao’s heart abruptly leapt, and she was sowhat bewildered.
Her eyes widened as she looked at Wu Jie, as if asking, “Have you lost your mind?”
While Dou Cheng, sitting across from him, had a flash of panic in his eyes but still asked with a chuckle,
“Jie, you really have a sense of humor.
How could I be the leaking mole when I don’t handle the projects?
Why would you want to investigate ?”
“Without any evidence, what grounds do you have to suspect ?
You’ve been with the Marketing Departnt for over a year; the possibility of you being the mole is greater than mine, right?”
Wu Jie smiled and said, “I was just speaking off the cuff, and yet you’re so quick to disassociate yourself and even bite back.
Isn’t that the guilt of a thief showing through?”
“I’m speaking the honest truth here, nothing about a guilty conscience,” Dou Cheng suddenly stood up, his voice rising in volu as he shouted,
“Don’t assu that just because the Intelligence Section hasn’t found anything on you yet, and now that you’re President Tang’s partner, you can rest easy.”
“Although Mr.
Tang called off the investigation into you by the Intelligence Section, I have the authority to restart it imdiately!”
“So if you’re the mole, you might as well confess to President Tang right now!
We’re all family after all; President Tang will forgive you!”
