Chapter 439: Chapter 440 Leaving Bei Tian? Part 2
Long Shan asked in confusion: “Regret? What regrets?”
This was my answer to Mo Fei. It was the only thing I could do for her…
“Chairman knows what I mean.” I didn’t explain it to Long Shan, because it was too corny to say.
“Mhm, I understand it,” Mo Yizhi said with a smile: “You are quite old-fashioned in your bones, but I like it. For men, there is nothing wrong with being a little bit conservative.”
“Conservative? People often say this about me,” For example, Liusu and Ziyuan, all of them had said this about me Before. I changed my tone and said: “But no matter what, Chairman, I still can’t accept the condition of leaving Bei Tian city and working somewhere else…”
What does it mean to leave Bei Tian city? It means that I would have to leave my old man who had worked so hard to raise me; leave my childish stepmother; leave Liusu who liked to cling to me like a tail; leave Dongfang Lianren, Dong Xiaoye, and Xiao Yike who had become a part of my life; leave Mo Fei, who would often make my heart beat faster; and leave Yang Wei, Shu Tong, Yao Wan’er, and all my friends. The person that I didn’t want to leave the most was Chu Yuan, who had occupied my flat and even my room. I believed that after leaving them, I definitely would not be able to get used to it.
I don’t deny that I’m a family man, but I don’t think this is an embarra.s.sing thing. In my opinion, it is only embarra.s.sing when you have no one to care for.
“I understand. What I said was indeed a bit sudden,” Mo Yizhi smiled apologetically, “After all, it was just decided…”
“Just decided?” For a moment, only for that moment, I seemed to see some confusion and incomprehension from Mo Yizhi’s face, and my heart skipped twice uncontrollably.
Mo Yizhi continued on, “Although it was just decided, it is not a bad thing for you, is it? You are still young, you should try everything to hone yourself and increase your knowledge.”
I was confused, “Chairman, when you said it was just decided, are you saying that you hadn’t really considered this issue in the past, right?”
“This…” Mo Yizhi was at a loss for words.
I continued on, “Since whether I need to leave Bei Tian city was originally not in the cooperation plan, why did you suddenly make such a decision?”
Mo Yizhi opened his mouth for a long time before he sighed and said, “I just realised that I have to be careful when talking to you. Just because I used a wrong word, you can dig out so much information. Yes, asking you to leave Bei Tian city was originally not in my plan. It can also be said that it is more appropriate for you to stay in Bei Tian City. After all, as a partner, the base of the Third Lady is going to be in Bei Tian City…”
“Then why do you still want to transfer me away?”
“Chairman is doing it for your own good,” Long Shan said suddenly, “Xiao Chu, do you not understand your situation?”
“My situation?” I was confused.
Long Shan said in a deep voice: “Xu Heng hasn’t been caught yet. Recently there have been rumors that he is still lurking in Bei Tian City. What is his purpose of staying in this city? You have nothing to do with him, we know that, but does anyone else know? Xu Heng’s att.i.tude towards you is different, and it has been witnessed by many people with their own eyes. Among those who were saved by you, there are more people who suspect that you and Xu Heng are working in collusion than those who are grateful to you.
“Those who were involved in the Long Family’s illegal business practices are now like sitting on pins and needles. They all hope that the police will not catch Xu Heng for the rest of their lives, but that is obviously impossible. Because Xu Heng is still lurking under the police’s nose. They want Xu Heng to die, so in order to find him before the police, many people have their eyes on you at this moment? Otherwise, the police wouldn’t send someone to protect you.”
Long Shan was alluding that on the surface Dong Xiaoye was protecting me, but secretly she was helping the police to monitor me, but I couldn’t refute it. Indeed, Dong Xiaoye trusted me, but that doesn’t mean that the police had no doubts about me. Otherwise, Lin Zhi would not arrange for Dong Xiaoye to stay by my side.
Long Shan eased her tone and said softly: “Bei Tian city is too dangerous for you at the moment, so it’s not a bad thing for you to leave this city for a while, don’t you think so? In this way, it can prove that Xu Heng’s stay in Bei Tian City has nothing to do with you.
“Besides, G.o.d knows why he is staying in Bei Tian city. Long Xiaotian is dead, and the only person who he has grudges with seems to be someone who shot him… and once Fengchang’s cooperation with the Third Lady is confirmed, the compet.i.tors who failed to get the cooperation like the Liu family may secretly retaliate against you, the person who helped Fengchang.
“You don’t know anything about this, right? Moreover, the young lady of the Li family has publicly stated yesterday that she and Liu Xiaosheng are just ordinary friends…”
“The young lady of the Li family? Li Song? “I was surprised, “Aren’t they dating at the moment?”
“They were, but not anymore,” Long Shan said indifferently: “It was the parents of both sides who brought them together, and this was originally done for both families’ interests. After Min Rou exposed that Liu Xiaosheng wanted to harm you, naturally, Li Xinghui would want to clear up their relationship with them. As for Li Song, she is just a spoiled girl, she did not object to the family’s arrangement at the beginning because Liu Xiaosheng was the most appropriate interpretation of the term “Prince Charming on a white horse”, but now, the prince has fallen off the horse and fell into the cesspit…”
Long Shan’s metaphor was so disgusting that even she herself couldn’t help but frown. In terms of Mo Yizhi, the gloating expression in his eyes was far more natural than the sympathy and pity on his face, “What do you mean?”
“It means that Liu Xiaosheng is completely ruined, not only his reputation but also his body,” Long Shan said lightly: “His hamstring has been severely injured by the wolf. I am afraid that it will be difficult for him to walk normally in the future.”
‘Liu Xiaosheng became disabled?’ It was not that I didn’t think that this would be possible when I saw how he was ravaged by the wolf, but when the worst possibility was confirmed, I still felt quite uncomfortable in my heart.
I had no sympathy for him, I just pitied him.
“Do you understand it now?” Long Shan said: “Although it’s true that Liu Xiaosheng did it to himself, it’s still difficult for the Liu family to accept it. So they have enough reasons to resent you. So avoiding it and giving them time to calm down may not be a bad idea.”
In fact, I also knew that leaving Bei Tian City temporarily was indeed the best choice for my current situation. But what I knew more clearly was that this was not the reason why Mo Yizhi wanted me to leave. He must have his own purpose.
I didn’t ask, and Mo Yizhi wouldn’t tell me even if I asked him; however, I could still roughly guess it. It was nothing more than hoping to use this legitimate reason to keep me away from Mo Fei…
I later went downstairs to the investment department with Mo Yizhi. As expected, the investment department was very noisy. My colleagues were whispering to each other in small groups, and the contents of their discussion were nothing more than disa.s.sociating themselves with Gong Fanlin, or gloating over the fact that the police were looking for him now.
Compared with other departments, the general operation team was unusually quiet.
Seeing that the chairman had a livid face, everyone except Ziyuan hurriedly went back to their desks to pretend to be busy. I even felt like Ziyuan had a little respect for Mo Yizhi. She rushed over in two steps and deliberately bypa.s.sed Mo Yizhi who was standing in between us, completely ignoring the owner of this company.
“Xiao Nan, Yang Wei said that you came to the company with him. But what took you so long to come to the office?”
