The sky was heavy with dark clouds, signaling an imminent downpour.
Nan Yu gazed at Chen Li, her eyes slightly cold.
"Secretary Chen, what do you want to ask?"
The piercing cold wind added a desolate chill as it blew against Chen Li.
She suppressed her shivers and suggested calmly, "Doctor Li, the rain is about to co pouring down. How about we find sowhere to talk?"
Nan Yu glanced at the pitch-black sky and nodded, "Let’s go to your car."
Chen Li imdiately stepped back, making way.
"Doctor Li, this way, please."
As Nan Yu left the factory, from the corner of her eye, she spotted X slipping into her car from a spot where Chen Li couldn’t see.
She let down her guard and got into Chen Li’s car.
No sooner had the two settled into the car than the rain started to pour heavily.
Rumble——
The sound of thunder closely followed, shaking the heavens.
Chen Li watched the raindrops as big as beans smash against the car window, instantly subrging the view outside and obscuring everything.
She slowly turned to look at Nan Yu next to her, her gaze showing a trace of composure.
"Doctor Li, I have co to you today on the orders of the Family Head."
Nan Yu shifted her gaze slowly back from the window to Chen Li and raised an eyebrow.
"Orders?"
After pondering for a mont, Chen Li began, "Doctor Li, the Family Head already knows that you’re not really Li Yingying, or rather, Li Yingying is just a false identity you’ve been using to cover up your real one."
A dark glint passed through Nan Yu’s eyes, "Is that so?"
Seeing Nan Yu did not deny it, Chen Li knew her first step in bluffing had succeeded.
She adjusted her smile to be a bit more relaxed, "Doctor Li, we have no ill intentions. After uncovering this matter, aside from informing the Family Head, no one else knows your identity is a fake. You don’t need to worry about being exposed."
"Furthermore, the Family Head has instructed to remove any information that could reveal your false identity completely clean, ensuring no one else will find out that your Li Yingying identity is fake."
On hearing this, Nan Yu’s wariness intensified.
"Secretary Chen, you’re doing so much for ; what exactly do you want?"
There’s no such thing as a free lunch. The effort the Huo Family Head had put in to keep her identity issue well-hidden must an he’s expecting sothing far from simple in return.
Chen Li put on a professional smile, "Doctor Li, this is the sincerity the Family Head wanted to convey to you. I trust you can see we an no harm."
Nan Yu kept silent, quietly waiting for her to continue.
Chen Li went on, "Doctor Li, the Family Head has done all this because he simply wishes to know your true identity. Would it be convenient for you to let see what you really look like?"
Nan Yu instantly understood her intention and let out a soft chuckle.
"All these words, just to find out my real identity?"
Chen Li nodded earnestly, "Yes, Doctor Li."
She paused, then assured, "You don’t have to worry about us revealing your true identity. I will absolutely keep it to myself and not disclose it to anyone else."
Nan Yu looked into Chen Li’s pleading eyes, the sound of heavy rain ringing in her ears, and rembered the rainy night when the Huo Family Head had saved her.
She still believed what Chen Li was saying.
Otherwise, news of her being saved and still alive would have spread all over City A by now, and her plans wouldn’t have proceeded so smoothly.
Chen Li waited quietly for Nan Yu’s answer, experiencing what felt like an eternity for the first ti, even feeling the heat rise within the car.
She extended three fingers on her right hand, her expression serious and sincere.
"Doctor Li, if you don’t trust , I can swear to heaven that if I reveal your true identity, may I be struck by lightning."
