289: C289 The Truth

C289 The Truth

Does he know what happened to her these days?

What was it that made him so busy that he didn't even care about whether his wife was alive or dead?

Thinking of this, Hai Xiaomin's chest felt stuffy and painful. She only took a deep breath but it was as if she had sucked in a knife. The pain went into her lungs. She held her chest and coughed softly in pain.

"Who asked you to open the window? I don't know if Madam can get cold?" A man's stern reprimand suddenly sounded at the door. Jess saw Hai Xiaomin coughing the moment he arrived. How could he not be angry?

"Sorry..." The maids lowered their heads guiltily and ran to close the window.

Hai Xiaomin suppressed the itch in her throat and looked up. "Jess, don't blame them. I wanted to open the window to get some fresh air."

The air in the cellar was hard to circulate. During that period of time, she did not feel good at all. When she had the chance to breathe fresh air, she wanted to take a few more breaths. There was nothing wrong with that. It was just that she did not expect her body to be so weak now. She was really weak.

The maid looked gratefully at Hai Xiaomin. These few people who lived on the 39th floor had an aura and temperament. Each one was more terrifying than the last. Only this Madam Ling was the most approachable and would speak up for them.

Most of the time, special Assistant Jess was very gentle and charming, but his unpredictable style and the dark temperament that he exuded from time to time made it hard for people to get close to him. Once he was strict, even Mr. Ling had to respect him.

How could Jess scold Hai Xiaomin for this matter? His handsome face returned to the usual smile. "I heard that Madam has woken up. The boss specifically asked me to come and take a look. Madam, your body is weak now, so you must be extra careful."

"Thank you for your concern. I will be careful." Hai Xiaomin leaned against the headboard and gave Jess a pale smile. Then, the smile on her lips froze. She changed the topic. "Why didn't Ling Yao come himself?"

She really cared about this...

"Madam, the boss is cleaning up the follow-up of the anti-narcotics plan that was completed a few days ago." Jess explained.

"Drug control plan?" Hai Xiaomin's face was blank.

The drug control operation a few days ago, including the series of actions taken to rescue her, had affected the entire H City. Only she, the person involved, was foolish enough to not know anything.

"Does Madam know who kidnapped you?" Jess waved his hand and motioned for the others to leave. He brought a chair over and sat down by the bed. It seemed that he was prepared to stay for a while longer.

Ling Yao had asked him to come to help Hai Xiaomin solve some of her problems first.

Hai Xiaomin lightly bit her lower lip and shook her head thoughtfully. She had thought of this question in the cellar, but there was no answer.

"It's a drug lord."

Hai Xiaomin was slightly stunned. Where did this drug lord come from? Wasn't the LY found out that it was a drug lord?

"Madam, could it be that you don't have confidence in the BOSS?" Seeing through what Hai Xiaomin was thinking, Jess's tone revealed a trace of helplessness.

After listening to him, Hai Xiaomin also realized something. When Ling Yao was still in the detention center, she had asked Jess for confirmation. The latter made her believe that Ling Yao would not be involved in drugs, but later found a large area of poppy planting in Star Gazing Manor. Jess did not deny anything after that.

She had always thought that he chose to be silent. He was silent about reality, and he was silent about his attempt to cover up the truth. Now, it seemed like that was not the case.

"But Star Gazing Manor..." This was a fact that could not be concealed. Hai Xiaomin also did not know how to excuse him.

"The Star Gazing Manor is not as simple as you guys think. On this point, the BOSS has other arrangements. I cannot reveal it to you yet. I hope that Madam can understand, but I can assure you that there is no evil in the Star Gazing Manor!" Jess looked straight into Hai Xiaomin's eyes and said very seriously.

Hai Xiaomin looked at him blankly. She was really confused by his words and the chaotic situation in front of her. However, since Jess had already said so much, she could only choose to accept it.

"Then, what happened to the drug lord who kidnapped me just now?" The topic returned to the right track.

"Madam, I don't know if you still remember, but you told me that you suspected there might be a spy in the company?" Jess threw out another question.

Hai Xiaomin thought for a while and nodded.

Jess continued to explain. "Actually, we noticed it a long time ago and secretly set up a plan to follow the clues and get rid of the forces behind the other party. When the two pictures were revealed on the internet, and the LY fell into a disadvantageous position, the other side revealed their true intentions."

"Actually, the BOSS doesn't need to stay in the detention center for so many days. He deliberately used this to make the other party lower his guard."0

"While he was in the detention center, the bureau set up a large net at the same time, and I was in charge of carrying out his plan outside. But this way, the company would have no one to oversee it, and it would be easy for people to panic, so the boss asked Miss Laecia for help." Speaking up to this point, Jess playfully winked at Hai Xiaomin.

Laecia had always thought that Ling Yao had nowhere to go, and that she came with the attitude of a saviour to save the person who saved him from the abyss of suffering. She did not think that she was just a chess piece of Ling Yao, and was pushed out to work for him without any complaints.

One should know that during this period of time, the LY's reputation was at its worst. Advancing to the position at this time was equivalent to being roasted on a fire. It was the most strenuous and unrewarding task. This was something that Laecia herself had deeply felt after she ascended to the position.

When she knew that it was Ling Yao who promoted Laecia, Hai Xiaomin was disappointed for quite a while. Now that she knew of this result, the knot in her heart had been resolved, but she did not feel much about it.

Perhaps it was because things had developed to this point, some things had already become less important...

Everything that had happened during this period of time was still under Ling Yao's control!

Hai Xiaomin could no longer describe the shock in her heart. There had been more than one person who had described Ling Yao to her, saying that he was terrifying. It was only now that she had a deeper understanding of it.

His intelligence, his scheming, compared to others, seemed to have reached the level of a god!

To be able to develop the LY to its current level in just a dozen years... Ling Yao was truly not an ordinary person!

In comparison, she... was so ordinary.

What was funny was that she did not recognize such an obvious difference in strength in the past. It was because Ling Yao was too good to her. He had placed her in front of his eyes. If she was too close to him, she would not be able to see him clearly. She would not be able to see herself either.

"What happened after that?" Hai Xiaomin did not want to guess how deep this man's thoughts were and what things were arranged by him. She blankly prepared to hear Jess finish.

"After that, the situation was a little out of the control of the boss." Speaking up to this point, Jess paused and looked at Hai Xiaomin with a complicated expression. "Just when we were ready to put away the net, madam, you were kidnapped by them!"
