CHAPTER 300: CHAPTER 300: HE’S STILL ALIVE

Bai Xu saw the man, furrowed his brows, and asked gently without changing his expression, "May I ask, who are you looking for?"

The man leaned closer to Bai Xu and whispered in the latter’s ear, "Assistant Bai, Mr. Li has asked me to tell you to hurry."

Bai Xu did not expect Li Sihe to send someone to remind him directly, he felt somewhat uncomfortable for a moment and coldly said, "I will, Miss Bian is always absent from the group these days, I can’t..."

"There’s no need for such excuses, Assistant Bai," the man smiled, his face lean and capable, his eyes cunning and fierce, "You’ve been with Mr. Li for so long, don’t you know his way of handling things? Mr. Li only cares about results."

Bai Xu felt annoyed in his heart, and also remembered the expression of complete trust Bian Yue had when she had left.

His expression cold, he glanced at the man who thought he held significant authority, scoffed, and turned to leave.

The man stood still, watching Bai Xu leave without giving face, his gaze sharpened, "Mr. Li’s guess was indeed correct; this Bai Xu, I’m afraid, is no longer usable."

It was noon, and the sun was at its zenith.

In the office, Bian Yue inadvertently looked up and saw Bai Xu walking in with a white envelope in his hand.

"Vice President Bai, what is this..."

"President Bian, the Bian Group is almost back on track, after you and SK have finished your talks, you will also need a period of rest. Mr. Shen will manage the affairs of the Bian Family, and I trust he can do it better than me."

Bian Yue looked at the resignation letter Bai Xu placed in front of her, still somewhat surprised, "You want to resign?"

"Yes."

"Have you been unhappy working here recently?" Bian Yue frowned, speaking softly, "Bai Xu, I really appreciate your work capability, and I’ve noticed everything you’ve done lately, I believe you’re capable of handling your current job, and I trust you..."

"President Bian, I appreciate your trust, but I really am not suitable for the Bian Group. Once everything settles down, I should leave too. You have always taken good care of me since the time in the Li Family, thank you for the many years."

Bai Xu didn’t wait for Bian Yue to finish, he politely interrupted her. Bian Yue’s mention of ’trust’ was truly a source of immense shame for Bai Xu.

How could he bear this trust?

Bian Yue frowned, and confirmed again, "Have you thought it through?"

"I have thought it through." Bai Xu paused, then sincerely said, "President Bian, no banquet in the world doesn’t come to an end. Today, after your meeting with the SK representative is over, I will go abroad to settle the related matters, and after that, I will stay overseas and not return."

He had arranged everything very clearly.

Bian Yue knew his intention was set, and did not say anything more to dissuade him, only pausing a moment to say, "Since you’ve decided, I won’t persuade you. I will ensure your shares in Bian’s stay intact. Thank you for everything during this time."

Bai Xu frowned, his gaze complicated as he looked at Bian Yue, then he took a deep breath, smiled, and said, "Alright, President Bian, if there’s nothing else, we will depart in 2 hours."

Bian Yue nodded, not overthinking it, "Okay, you go prepare."

Two hours later, Bian Yue stood in the underground parking lot, watching as Bai Xu drove the car to her.

He got out of the car and walked quickly toward Bian Yue, opened the car door for her, his voice still gentle, "Sorry, President Bian, a call came at the last minute, it delayed me a bit."

"It’s alright." Bian Yue got into the car, Bai Xu hesitated a moment before he shut the door.

There were just the two of them in the car, the car slowly and smoothly moved through the garage, gradually heading towards the exit.

Bian Yue looked at Bai Xu in the driver’s seat, curiously, "Why are you driving today?"

"It’s not far, I can drive," Bai Xu said as he looked at Bian Yue through the rearview mirror, who had already lowered her head to look at some documents.

After hesitating, Bai Xu suddenly said, "President Bian, actually I could meet the representatives alone; if you’re feeling unwell, you can get out of the car."

Bian Yue looked at Bai Xu amusedly, "What? Now that you are leaving, you want to get everything done before you go?"

Bai Xu smiled and lightly said, "President Bian is joking."

"We’re just going to Xiangjiang, as you just said, it’s not far, I might as well go." Bian Yue sighed lightly, smiling, "We always have to show others our sincerity."

Bai Xu did not reply, just smiled.

The car left the city, Bian Yue was gazing out the window lost in thought, suddenly she heard Bai Xu say, "President Bian, have you ever dreamed of Li Sihe?"

Bian Yue was momentarily startled, she composed her emotions, looked at Bai Xu, and softly asked with a smile, "Why suddenly mention this?"

"I dreamed of Li Sihe yesterday, dreamed that he was still alive." Bai Xu drove very slowly, watching Bian Yue’s expression, and continued, "President Bian, have you ever thought about how you would feel if Li Sihe were still alive?"

Bian Yue sensed something unusual, "Are you hiding something from me?"

Hearing Bian Yue’s inquiry, Bai Xu’s expression stiffened for a moment, after which, he drove even slower, "President Bian, I grew up supported by the Li Family, before I became an adult, all my tuition and living expenses were provided by the Li Family. I’m not a child from a wealthy family; from a young age, I knew how much one must pay to survive, so I am always grateful for the Li Family’s donation, without the Li Family, there would not be a me today."

Bian Yue frowned, listening to Bai Xu’s heartfelt words, a vague feeling in her heart became clearer, her voice cooled, "You don’t need to tell me this, Bai Xu, I haven’t treated you badly either, I just ask you one thing, are you working for me now, or for the Li Family?"

"The Li Family."

Bian Yue’s heart sank, directly took out her phone intending to send a message to Shen Jinci, but the words ’no signal’ on the phone screen made her palms turn icy cold.

"This car has been pre-arranged with a signal blocker, it’s too late to contact Mr. Shen now," Bai Xu said calmly, "But rest assured, I will be with you, no one will hurt you, after the meeting, I will take you back."

"Who are you meeting, Li Tingmo?" Bian Yue clenched her phone.

Bai Xu remained silent.

Bian Yue’s expression turned colder and continued, "Tang Yuwei? Or Li Shiheng? Are you trying to tell me that Li Sihe is still alive, Bai Xu, speak up!"

"Please don’t ask," Bai Xu gripped the steering wheel tightly and said in a deep voice, "You’ll know when you get there, asking now won’t change anything."

Bian Yue’s breathing became hurried; she was about to say something when suddenly, her face changed drastically.

In the direction ahead, a large unlicensed truck was coming towards them at an uncontrollable speed...
