Yan Xing was taken aback by his intimidating manner: “President Lu, why are you here?”
“Who restored the video for me? Tell me his true identity!”
“President Lu, I don’t know his identity either. We’ve always only been in contact over the internet!”
Lu Lingche fiercely grabbed his collar and slammed him down onto the table: “Are you going to talk or not?!”
Yan Xing almost cried but lied without a hitch: “President Lu, I wouldn’t dare lie to you. I truly don’t know who the expert is. If I did, I would’ve taken him for my own company a long time ago!”
Lu Lingche gripped his throat and was just about to strangle him when he still refused to speak.
All of a sudden, he let go.
Yan Xing leaned on the table, gasping for breath as a large portion of his back became damp with sweat—scared senseless.
After who-knows-how-long, Lu Lingche finally spoke: “Why is there only one person left at your company’s reception desk? Where’s Qiao Yin?”
Yan Xing was completely flabbergasted, his mouth wide open as if he was about to swallow a goose egg whole: “President Lu, didn’t you order me to fire her?”
Lu Lingche frowned: “When did I say that?”
Yan Xing quickly replied: “Your assistant called to say it was your instruction to fire Qiao Yin or else my company would be ruined!”
Lu Lingche turned his head, glaring coldly at his assistant: “Lin Yuanshan!”
The assistant was terrified and quickly shook his head: “Not me! President Lu! I didn’t call him!”
Lu Lingche looked back at Yan Xing: “Show me the phone number.”
Yan Xing quickly realized what was happening. He hurriedly took out his mobile phone, found the number, and showed it to him.
Lu Lingche took one look at it and then tossed it to his assistant: “Check it.”
The assistant left with the mobile phone and reappeared soon after, whispering: “President Lu, it’s a number from your home.”
Lu Lingche didn’t even need to think about it: “My mom?”
“Yes, President Lu. Madam had one of the bodyguards pretend to be your assistant and made the call for her.”
Yan Xing finally understood. So, it wasn’t Lu Lingche who wanted him to fire Qiao Yin!
Lu Lingche glared icily at Yan Xing: “Even if my assistant didn’t call, wouldn’t you have thought to confirm it with me?”
“Well, you’re so busy, I wouldn’t dare to bother you! I also didn’t think someone would be impersonating you!”
“Where did Qiao Yin go?”
“I don’t know, President Lu. It was all so sudden today, she packed up her stuff and just left.”
“Are her injuries healed?”
“Injuries? What injuries? Is Qiao Yin injured?”
“You know nothing, so stupid. How on earth did you manage to keep your company up and running until now?”
Yan Xing looked at him, wanted to say something, yet ultimately didn’t dare to speak.
Had the nerve to call him stupid. He knew a lot more than Lu Lingche did. Lu Lingche didn’t even know what Qiao Yin really did, still thinking she was the receptionist!
With that in mind, he inexplicably felt a lot better.
“So, President Lu, should I ask Qiao Yin to continue working?”
However, Lu Lingche shook his head: “No need.”
With that, he left with his assistant.
Once in the car, Lu Lingche called Madam Lu.
“Why did you use my name to force others to fire Qiao Yin?”
Madam Lu did not expect him to find out so quickly, yet she had no guilt, she justifiably argued: “You’re my son, what’s wrong with me using your name? She dared to expose your marriage, of course I have to teach her a lesson!”
“Can you stop, bothering her day in and day out for what?”
Madam Lu was suddenly furious: “You’re lecturing me?! If it weren’t for her, would I have been beaten by the Old Madam? If it weren’t for her, would Yuyi have to hide and dare not meet people? Am I the one picking a fight with her? She is trying to destroy me and you!”
Lu Lingche did not feel like arguing with her about this, he resolutely said: “Don’t do such things in the future, you don’t need to take action against Qiao Yin. Just take care of Yuyi.”
“Have you gone through the divorce procedures with her yet? I’ve already chosen a good date for you and Yuyi this month, the 25th. You two should get married then!”
Today is the 22nd..
