Chapter 346: Chapter 344: What Grass to Cut, What Root to Remove
“President Lin, look, when can we co in and move this office?”
Just as Lin Yuhan’s thoughts were wandering, a clear voice from outside the door interrupted her reverie. She tidied her hair near her ear, then turned her head to see a young employee at the door holding a large cardboard box, looking at her inquiringly.
This was a staff mber sent by the major conglorate that acquired Fenghua Pharmaceutical Group, now urging her.
Lin Yuhan quickly took one last look at her desk, then said, “It’s fine, you can co in and move now.”
After speaking, she gazed affectionately at her office once more, and in a daze, it seed she saw Qin Hao with a smirk, sitting on that black sofa, waiting for her to pour him a drink.
The sadness of farewell, combined with the longing for Qin Hao, made Lin Yuhan’s nose tingle, and tears fell uncontrollably. She forced her eyes wide open, then silently packed the last of her personal items, and struggled to carry a large box as she walked out of the company building by herself.
Outside the building, the warm and bright afternoon sun was briefly dazzling. Standing in the sunlight, Lin Yuhan suddenly felt a sense of dizziness. She stood still, closed her eyes briefly, then just as she was about to carry the box forward, she felt the weight lift from her hands; the box had been taken by soone else.
She opened her eyes to see Zhao ngke standing across from her with a pained expression, holding her box.
“Xiaong, why are you here?”
“I was worried about you, so I ca to check on you.”
Zhao ngke’s voice was a bit hoarse too. Unable to reach Qin Hao so far, his life or death remained unknown. Although Zhao ngke remained optimistic, the situation still had a significant impact on her.
She took Lin Yuhan’s box and walked to a very ordinary sedan.
Like Lin Yuhan, she had sold all her savings and her commuter car, replacing it with a small-displacent dostic car worth tens of thousands.
After placing the box in the trunk, Zhao ngke opened the car door, helped Lin Yuhan settle into the passenger seat, then got in herself.
She gripped the steering wheel and promptly started the car.
“Xiaong, where are we going?”
After starting the car, Zhao ngke straightforwardly said, “I’ll take you for a good al first, then we’re heading to the Provincial Governnt.”
“Why go to the Provincial Governnt? I don’t want to go.”
Imdiately persuading, Zhao ngke said, “Co on, Sister Yu Han, I have a girlfriend in the provincial city nad Tang Rou. We were middle school classmates and have a great relationship. I’ll take you to hang out with her for a couple of days, to relax.”
Lin Yuhan frowned in silence, and Zhao ngke continued, “Sister Yu Han, we sold everything, and even hiring an assassin takes ti. We don’t have to rush these couple of days.”
“Look at you lately, all worn out with the company matters. If your health breaks down, how can we avenge Qin Hao?”
“So just agree, I’ll take you for a good al first, then once we arrive at the Provincial Governnt, there’s more opportunity there, even for finding an assassin, it’s definitely better than in Qingshan City.”
Lin Yuhan thought about it seriously upon hearing this, then sighed and said, “Alright then.”
Zhao ngke cheered imdiately, then stepped on the gas, slowly driving out of the Fenghua Pharmaceutical Group Mansion’s parking lot.
Lin Yuhan took a deep look at her company’s office floor through the car window one last ti and finally sighed, her expression complex as she gazed silently out the window.
At the sa ti, in the Provincial Governnt, at the Xiao Family.
Today, the Xiao Family exuded an atmosphere of stern and intimidating solemnity.
Both Xiao Yu and Xiao Jintian stood trembling outside the study door, waiting for the call from inside.
No one knew how long they had been standing, Xiao Yu’s leg hadn’t fully healed, leaning on a cane outside the door, sweating profusely yet not daring to slack off one bit.
Finally, a calm yet authoritative voice ca from within.
“Co in.”
Xiao Jintian and Xiao Yu felt as though they had been granted amnesty, gently opened the door, and cautiously walked into the study.
Within the spacious study, a towering figure stood at the window, back to the door. As soon as Xiao Jintian and Xiao Yu entered, they quickly bowed respectfully towards the figure:
“Good health, venerable ancestor.”
Such treatnt naturally belonged to the greatest support of the Xiao Family, the Guardian God of all Huaxia, Xiao Lingtian!
Xiao Lingtian seldom returned to his family, and his arrival today naturally made the entire Xiao Family nervous, ticulously preparing to receive him.
Xiao Lingtian heard the greeting from behind but did not respond. He continued to silently gaze out the window, his back to Xiao Jintian and Xiao Yu. anwhile, Xiao Yu and the others maintained their deep bow, daring not to move.
The atmosphere in the study was suffocating and oppressive. After about a minute, Xiao Lingtian finally turned around.
Turning, he imdiately confronted Xiao Jintian coldly, “Why did you annihilate the Qin Family?”
This direct question made cold sweat instantly break out on Xiao Jintian’s back. Although he hadn’t received Xiao Lingtian’s explicit permission for the annihilation of the Qin Family, this decision wasn’t made rashly.
If Xiao Jintian were truly so foolish, he wouldn’t have survived until now.
Before deciding to eradicate the Qin Family, Xiao Jintian thoroughly considered and deduced the situation dozens of tis, ultimately concluding with certainty.
That was, their venerable ancestor, Xiao Lingtian, could no longer tolerate the Qin Family.
Having reached this conclusion, Xiao Jintian dared to act against the Qin Family. Otherwise, who in the entire Xiao Family would dare to act against Xiao Lingtian’s will?
Thinking this, countless thoughts flickered through his mind instantly, and eventually, gritting his teeth, he said, “Annihilating the Qin Family was to eliminate them root and branch!”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Lingtian imdiately and angrily said, “A fine ‘root and branch,’ yet Qin Hao is still alive. What roots have you removed, and what branches have you severed?”
“If Qin Hao were dead it would be one thing. As long as Qin Hao is alive, you dared to exterminate the Qin Family, this act of yours was foolish, utterly foolish!!”
Hearing this, Xiao Jintian breathed a long sigh of relief. Xiao Lingtian’s statent made his aning clear.
The act of annihilating the Qin Family wasn’t a mistake, nor had Xiao Jintian misinterpreted the intention of their ancestor. Just now, the ancestor seed more concerned about Qin Hao’s life and death.
It seed that whether the Qin Family was exterminated or not was irrelevant, as long as Qin Hao was dead, that would suffice.
