208: Evil Scheme II

Evil Scheme II

2His eyes remained fixed upon the glaring computer screen while his hand restlessly reached for the mug far away. That was when he caught Lin Yazhi staring at him from the corner of his eyes.

He nearly fell off his chair.

"How long have you been there? And what's with that look? What do you want?"

Lin Yanzhi responded to his question with an eyeroll. "I am just here to give you a few words about our dear President. I definitely understand that he has not been in a great mood lately, but could you at least stop him from touching all those bottles again? Can't you see? Do you need to observe for yourself how bad he looks right now?"

Lin Yazhi was right. The longer the President had to bear with his headache, the more the little secretaries like her had to suffer.

Gosh—Zhaoyang, my great Senior Zhaoyang, come back already…

I can't take this anymore! Only you can handle the beast! Sniff…

"I would love to help. But it's not like he's listening." It would be a miracle if Huo Yunting listened to him for once.

"Well, excuse me, someone is his P.A here, and he has one job!" Lin Yazhi then stormed out of the office in disdain .

"Tsk, I'm not Belle, alright. Let the real Belle deal with the real beast." Huo Li then got up to pour himself some water before he got back to his work.

Thunderbolt Corp's office remained dead and gloomy like a courtyard in the following days as the owner of the grave grew more volatile and ill-tempered. There was one time when he just swept the entire stack of contracts off the table right after Lin Yazhi placed it on his desk. News Flash! The President also suddenly stomped his way out of the meeting room during a colleague's presentation today.

The staff looked at each other in confusion.

"Will Thunderbolt Corp. shut down one day?"

"At this rate, should I start looking for a job in Glassdoor now?"

"Is President Huo ever going to be alright?"

"Sec…" Huo Li got up from his seat and followed the moody man into his office, wondering the hows and whys as if it was the biggest mystery since Atlantis.

What's wrong? What has gotten into Brother Ting again?

Wait…

Huo Li remembered something. During that presentation, someone mentioned something…

What was the case study again?

Zhaoyang Property?

Oh, of all the property companies, why??

He gave the door a knock and carefully pushed it open, only to see the angry man pouring himself a glass of Vodka. He hissed as his face tightened upon sight.

He's into her. Yup, he's definitely into her!

"Hold it!" Like an ace attorney, Huo Li raised his palm and interrupted Huo Yunting while he sprinted towards the desk and snatched the bottle away.

By hook or by crook, he had to stop him from drinking that day! Brother Ting had been drinking way too much recently!

Huo Yunting glanced soullessly at the half-empty glass and took a sip. "Found anything?"

"Not yet. But I plan to have a look myself. Those subordinates you have aren't as great as your Brother Huo Li. I swear I'll find out!" He gave Huo Yunting a wink and coughed seriously.

"Ahem, but, I gotta say, the second young master is the real deal after all. It may take some time. But, promise me, my beloved Prince Charming Ting, stop drinking when I'm not around. Okay?"

Seriously, at this rate he'll be admitted to the hospital and diagnosed with cirrhosis.

An expression finally cracked across Huo Yunting's frozen face.. He frowned. "Not okay."

Not okay at all. If I send Huo Li to look for them, it'll only show that I actually care.

And I can't let them know that.

Huo Li tried to fix his dropped jaw. He thought he could convince Brother Ting to let him go. He even bought himself a nice first class flight. Great, Brother Ting was acting up again.

"Okay, okay, fine. Not going. I'm not going, I swear."

Sigh, I'll stay. Just in case this beast breaks his jar of rose again.

…

Mo Shan covered her mouth in surprise. She could not believe what she overheard.

Them? They? Not "her"?

I knew it! I knew Lu Zhaoyang did not go outstation! She ran away with another man!

Huo Li said,"the second master"…

What? Doesn't this mean that Yunting's uncle was the one who snatched his woman?!

Huo Chen—Lu Zhaoyang…

What are they?

She backed away from Yunting's office quietly and headed straight back to the entrance.

The moment she got into her car, her trembling hand pulled out her phone from her purse. She dialed it excitedly. "Hello, find out about Huo Chen and Lu Zhaoyang; their education background, their family, everything since they were born!"

"All right, Miss Mo. Immediately," she hung up with a satisfied smile.

She then pressed the button to turn on the engine and smiled with an indescribable joy.

One day, Lu Zhaoyang. One day, I'll know everything.

Just you wait.

She made an elegant U-turn with her car and zoomed away.
