CHAPTER 676: CHAPTER 676: SEEING THROUGH NAN SHAN’S INTENTIONS

Nan Qiao softly replied, she certainly understood what Li Yehan meant.

Nan Shan voluntarily entered a trap he wove himself.

He placed himself in danger to bring Professor Zhong’s phone out.

Considering Nan Shan’s hatred for Professor Zhong, he probably already killed him and left no witnesses.

"Nan Shan didn’t tell you these things probably because he was afraid you’d overthink," Li Yehan said.

"If Nan Shan doesn’t say, I won’t ask him. If he wants to hide, then let him. It’s better for everyone that way."

Nan Qiao wouldn’t ask about things Nan Shan didn’t want to talk about.

Li Yehan: "Qiaoqiao, you need to learn to keep your distance from Nan Shan."

"I will be careful, don’t worry. I’m not naive; I won’t disregard my own safety. I’m not alone now; I have you." Nan Qiao gently tapped his hand to reassure him.

How could Li Yehan feel at ease? He had many thoughts and things he wanted to do, but had to consider Nan Qiao.

"Has Old Wu found out where they took Nan Shan? Try to find the kidnappers, pry information from them, and gather some news."

"The investigation is ongoing."

Nan Qiao contemplated; she remembered her plan and whispered a few words in Li Yehan’s ear.

"I disagree!" Li Yehan firmly refused.

The resolute voice startled Nan Qiao.

"Why don’t you agree? It’s a rare opportunity; if we miss it, it’ll be gone. Besides, I’m doing this for the greater good. Don’t you want to resolve this quickly?"

Of course, he wanted to.

But Li Yehan didn’t want to resolve it by risking Nan Qiao’s safety.

"Qiaoqiao, listen to me first; we need to plan carefully. Do you think those people have infiltrated Hua Country so long without deep roots? The deeper the roots, the longer it takes to uproot them," Li Yehan earnestly explained.

"Qiaoqiao, your idea is very dangerous. You must not entertain such dangerous thoughts anymore. Be good, let’s not do anything so risky, okay?"

Nan Qiao: "..."

Li Yehan: "Let’s check on grandfather; we don’t know when he will wake up. Once he does and speaks about what happened that night, all problems will be solved."

Nan Qiao also hoped Old Mr. Li would wake up soon; he was a key figure!

"Let’s go."

Nan Qiao turned off the computer, and Li Yehan carried her personal computer without leaving it in the office.

Nan Qiao reached for Professor Zhong’s phone, but Li Yehan was quicker, picking it up and putting it in his pocket.

"I’ll hold it. The phone emits radiation, and you should be careful, Qiaoqiao."

Nan Qiao: "..."

"Let me keep Professor Zhong’s phone; I still want to see if there are any other secrets in it."

"You’ve already checked today; there’s not much useful information inside. The investigation and conclusion about Nan Shan’s experiment don’t match Nan Shan’s current situation. The experiment is dead, but the results are alive. The stuff Professor Zhong wrote is worthless, just a waste of time." Li Yehan criticized coldly.

In short, the phone couldn’t be given to Nan Qiao; he didn’t want her to see the contents of the last folder.

Letting Nan Qiao see it would only make her shut down emotionally.

Li Yehan carried Nan Qiao’s computer bag in one hand and held her small hand in the other as they left the company together.

Du Li watched them leave and, with a sneaky glance, went over to Secretary Fu’s desk to gossip.

"Secretary Fu, they really are a great match!"

Secretary Fu: "Aren’t you busy?"

Du Li: "I’m not free; I’m swamped. Rong Yan resigned, Fu Qingyan was fired, you have no idea how busy I am. Secretary Fu, could you ask Rong Yan when he’s coming back to work? The company can’t do without him!"

Secretary Fu raised an eyebrow: "Rong Yan isn’t here, and you’re not happy being in charge?"

"Happy for what! I’m so busy I don’t have time to date."

Fu Xingyao: "..."

"Everyone wants to climb up, and you want to stop? Du Li, your ambition isn’t very high!"

"What’s the use of ambition! You know my ability; I can’t compare to Rong Yan. For the company’s good and Mr. Qiao’s profits, I should leave the position for someone capable. As for me, I’d rather stay where it’s quiet. I really can’t manage."

Du Li sighed heavily; comparing people drives one crazy!

Fu Xingyao: "..."

Fu Xingyao sighed three times within ten seconds.

I don’t know if Mr. Qiao is lucky or unfortunate to have an employee like Du Li.

"Secretary Fu, don’t look at me like that."

Du Li smiled wryly.

Secretary Fu: "You’re not busy?"

Du Li: "Busy, very busy, but I wanted to tell you something. Someone messaged me, trying to recruit me as a designer with a salary twice as much as here."

Secretary Fu put down the work and looked at Du Li incredulously: "Recruit you?"

Du Li: "..."

"Secretary Fu, are you looking down on me? You think a designer like me wouldn’t get recruited?" Du Li was helpless and speechless; Secretary Fu looked at her with an incredulous gaze.

"I didn’t mean that; don’t misunderstand."

Secretary Fu earnestly explained.

Du Li: "Think whatever you want; I just want you to tell Mr. Qiao. Regarding Rong Yan’s return, a decision must be made soon. If someone is offering me a price, they must be offering a higher one to Rong Yan. If Rong Yan goes to a competitor, Mr. Qiao will lose a strong figure, and the company’s loss will be too great."

Secretary Fu nodded slightly: "I understand."

Du Li said what needed to be said and didn’t pursue the topic further.

As soon as Du Li left, Secretary Fu immediately called Nan Qiao, briefly stating the purpose.

"Mr. Qiao, what do you think?"

Nan Qiao: "I’ll ask about Rong Yan."

If Rong Yan still wanted to stay with the company, Nan Qiao would give him a chance.

Of course, this would be the last chance.

Hopefully, Rong Yan can learn from this and won’t make such a mistake again.

No traps fall from the sky, nor will a Sister Lin.

It’s a coincidence that it landed on him.

Secretary Fu immediately understood; Mr. Qiao intended to give Rong Yan another opportunity.

Secretary Fu hung up the phone.

Nan Qiao held the phone, pondering over this matter.

The driver drove while Li Yehan handed Nan Qiao a cup of warm water.

"Do you still want Rong Yan to return?"

Nan Qiao: "If Rong Yan doesn’t return, I’ll have to transfer someone. After all, I can’t personally handle everything; I’ll have to entrust others to manage it."

Changing someone would require retraining.

Rong Yan is different; after experiencing this, he should have learned a lesson from the setback.

"Give him a chance first and see how he performs." Nan Qiao was willing to take a gamble.
