At his statent, Wang Yuan froze. After a mont, he scratched his head. "I thought you detested her."
Min Xin scoffed. "Even though she’s unorthodox, she still has talent." He was the type who rarely paid attention to others, so for him to say such a thing was high praise indeed. The Secretary-General quickly added, "Then you admire her."
"I admire her, my ass!" Min Xin exploded. Wang Yuan flinched and fell silent.
Min Xin looked at him. "Go handle things. Find a way to hide those people. Also, inform our contacts in South Africa that, at the critical mont, they must protect Bo Xichen no matter what."
He touched his neck. "If we can’t protect Little Wang, she’ll probably try to kill ."
That Little Wang... she doesn’t listen to reason. No matter what happens to her man, she’ll bla it on , Min Xin. This is so bullshit! I’m just an outsider, yet she has completely under her thumb.
Min Xin said bitterly, "In the future, let Bo Xichen go wherever he pleases! But as long as that bastard stays in Beicheng, he’s a damn nace, and yet everyone still has to guarantee his safety!"
With that, he kicked a chair and muttered, "What the hell kind of world is this?"
Wang Yuan rubbed his nose and sighed. "She’s a little demon who wouldn’t even blink while pulling the trigger."
Min Xin couldn’t help but recall the scene from that morning. It had been bloody enough. That little hellion truly hadn’t blinked an eye!
He sneered. "Fine. We’ll stay neutral for now. No rush. Let her fight it out with Hong Fu and Dark. Once Dark and Hong Fu take care of her, then we..."
Wang Yuan interjected at the right mont, "But by then, will we still be able to handle Dark? Won’t we be under soone else’s control again?"
Min Xin froze, speechless for a long mont.
After a long pause, he lit a cigarette and took a slow drag. "But now... it’s not yet ti to choose."
Wang Yuan understood. Min Xin’s wife was still in the country. He knew that if things truly escalated, even sending her abroad wouldn’t guarantee her safety; it was better to keep her nearby under protection.
...
Wang Yuan left to handle matters. An hour later, he rushed back to the hospital.
Min Xin was sitting by the bed reading docunts. When Wang Yuan entered, his expression was grave.
Min Xin looked at him. "How did things go?"
Wang Yuan leaned in close and whispered, "Those top experts... they all... unfortunately..."
Min Xin was stunned.
After a mont, he tilted his head back. "Really?"
Wang Yuan nodded. "It’s confird. This indicates the enemy knew Professor Bo’s itinerary. They might not have intended to kill Professor Bo himself; instead, they chose to eliminate the experts."
Min Xin’s eyes narrowed. "Utterly depraved!"
Just as he said that, a call ca in from King Jingyao. The mont he answered, a roar of anger blasted from the receiver. Min Xin held the phone slightly away from his ear. "It’s no use yelling at . I didn’t do it."
With that, he hung up and, ignoring his injuries, rushed to the main governnt office.
King Jingyao had already smashed two cups. When Min Xin entered, King Jingyao hurled another one. Min Xin managed to dodge it, but Wang Yuan was accidentally hit. A sharp pain shot through Wang Yuan’s arm, but he didn’t dare make a sound, forcing a smile instead. "Mr. Min is still injured, Mr. Wang. If you have any anger, please direct it at !"
King Jingyao was seething. "Of course, I’m asking you! Traces of you were found at the locations where those experts died. Can you explain that?"
Wang Yuan was montarily speechless and glanced furtively at Min Xin.
Min Xin stated bluntly, "I sent Wang Yuan to find those people to protect them."
King Jingyao sneered. "Protection? Or imprisonnt? Min Xin, do you think I don’t know what you’re really thinking?"
Min Xin gave a wan smile. "I wasn’t directly involved in this matter. I’m not that depraved."
"Not involved? So you were just planning to sit back and reap the rewards?" King Jingyao sneered. "Min Xin, think carefully. If it weren’t for you, could Dark have beco as powerful as it is today? I let the Jiangcheng incident slide last ti out of consideration for you, but this ti..." His eyes narrowed. "If anything happens in Beicheng that forces to step down, believe , you’ll be the first one I take down!"
