Feng Huaijin rested his elbows on the conference room table, rubbing his tired eyes with his long fingers, and said in a deep voice, "How long has he left the company?"
"Two hours."
Feng Huaijin chuckled lightly, "It takes only one and a half hours to get from here to Jiangcheng Airport. Send soone to the airport to check first."
Once he boards a plane and escapes the country, it’ll be difficult to find him again.
Even if we manage to find him abroad in the next couple of days, the project’s information might have passed through several hands already and would be aningless.
Despite the air conditioning in the conference room, Xiao Heng felt a chill all over his body. After all the hard work, this was the result.
It’s over, it’s all over this ti!
Xiao Heng even felt like committing seppuku; this loss wasn’t just a simple matter of one or two billion, and Brother Qi had been working overti on this project for so long...
Xiao Heng felt that he didn’t need Brother Qi to send him to Africa; he could go by himself.
Though the air conditioning was warm in the conference room, everyone still felt cold, as if plunged into a real winter, covered with ice and snow.
A phone ringtone broke the silence in the room. Su Li took out her phone and her lips gradually curved up.
Su Li glanced at Feng Huaijin and suddenly put the call on speaker.
From the other end ca the sound of rushing wind, the roar of car engines, and the shouts of youths.
Hu Zi took off his helt, and said self-assuredly, "Sister Li, we stopped that fat guy nad Li Hang. How should we bring him to you? Pack him up?"
"Did Li Hang commit a cri? Why’s he clutching his bag so tightly? Yeah, he pissed himself. Hey, don’t pee on my car! We’re racers, not gangsters!" yelled an agitated youth.
"Hey, big guy, don’t faint. At most, we’ll take you to the police station; we won’t harm you. We’re good people."
"..."
A group of young racers chattered, with the sound of a plane faintly flying overhead.
Xiao Heng listened, his head swirling, staring blankly at Su Li. It took him a while to say, "They... they stopped him?"
Did Li Hang not manage to escape?
The project information hasn’t been leaked, right?
In an instant, Xiao Heng’s nearly dying heart ca alive again.
Xiao Heng cried out, "Su Li, from now on, you’re my savior. I just doubted you, so feel free to beat up!"
Su Li: "I won’t hit you, my hand hurts."
Feng Huaijin said softly, "Your hand hurts? I’ll help you."
Xiao Heng, terrified, pressed himself against the conference room door, shaking his head like a rattling drum, saying, "No... no..."
Su Li turned her head, her eyes softly smiling, looking at Feng Huaijin with a playful wink, "I thought you wouldn’t go bankrupt?"
Feng Huaijin was stunned for a few seconds, a spring smile spreading across his face, lting the cold room, "Hmm, you spend money so well that if I went bankrupt, I couldn’t support you."
Su Li coughed lightly and turned her eyes away.
I have money, I can support myself.
"Sister Li, you promised a kiss as a reward for finishing the task, when is that?" Hu Zi boldly asked.
This question ca through the phone’s speaker.
The smile on Feng Huaijin’s face vanished without a trace, as he stared at Su Li incredulously, "What did you promise? A kiss?"
Su Li let out an "ah" sound; when did she promise a kiss?
These youngsters were spreading false rumors!
"I didn’t, this is all a misunderstanding."
The warmth vanished without a trace, and after saying "Have soone co pick up Li Hang later," Su Li hastily hung up the phone.
Xue Niannian got up from the ground, looking at Su Li with tears in her eyes, gratefully saying, "Thank you."
Xue Niannian could hardly believe it; if Su Li hadn’t shown up, she might have been investigated in the coming days. Even if she really didn’t do it, being investigated would be an ordeal.
Su Li glanced at Feng Huaijin and replied, "I didn’t do it for you."
"I did it for..." Su Li paused, aningfully saying, "Xiao Heng."
The recently relieved Xiao Heng shivered all over: "...???"
What the hell, Su Li, don’t throw under the bus!
