Chen Meng’er’s little action caused the somewhat silent atmosphere in the room to dissipate. Elder Liu finally revealed a smile.
There was a reason why Elder Liu agreed to Chen Meng’er accepting this mission. Firstly, based on his understanding of Chen Meng’er, this la.s.s was a person who valued emotions very much. Although Qu Yaobing was a father who jumped out halfway, Qu Yaobing’s kindness towards Chen Meng’er was genuine. And now that Qu Yaobing was in danger, how could she sit still? Moreover, he was originally in the pugilistic world and valued relationships very much. He still admired his la.s.s’s temper very much.
Secondly, even if he did not agree, this la.s.s would probably sneak away in the middle of the night. It was not like there had never been such a precedent before. Rather than this, it would be better for him to agree and let her bring more people along, it would save her from having to go alone, making him even more worried.
Furthermore, Elder Liu also wanted Chen Meng’er to take advantage of this opportunity to go out and relax. The series of events that had happened during this period of time were awful. Although he saw Chen Meng’er’s smile hanging on her face all day, as if nothing was on her mind, he knew that this girl’s heart wasn’t as calm she appeared to be.
However, if others knew of Elder Liu’s thoughts, they would definitely have frown lines on their foreheads. Speaking of which, which child would go out for a walk to such a dangerous place for such a dangerous mission?
!!
Moreover, Elder Liu, who had some evil intentions, also had his own little thoughts. Yuwen Jing had called the Green Gang quite a few times in the past two days, but they were all suppressed by him. Elder Liu estimated that Yuwen Jing probably could not sit still for these two days and wanted to come over personally.
Elder Liu had always known that his little girl had special feelings for Yuwen Jing, and was especially soft-hearted towards the people around her. Elder Liu was afraid that she would forgive him again because of Yuwen Jing’s apology, so he had been worrying for the past two days about what method he should use to make Yuwen Jing not want to see Chen Meng’er.
He had not even thought of any good methods, yet he had already delivered himself to his doorstep.
After Chen Meng’er finished talking to Elder Liu, she looked for Zhou Yunjie and asked him to drive her to the higher-ups. There were some things that she felt it was better to talk about in person than over the phone.
In the office, the higher-ups who were anxiously waiting for Elder Qu to reply to their letter had long lost the confidence they had before. Their leader, who had spoken to Elder Qu, had always thought that everything was under his control, but when he turned around, he realized that, that was not the case at all.
The leader’s brows were tightly furrowed, and his left hand was rhythmically knocking on the office desk. He was wondering if it was necessary for him to call Elder Qu and urge him on.
Just as he was in a dilemma and did not know what to do, the doorbell to his office rang. He hurriedly sat up straight and put away the expression on his face. “Please come in.”
“Chief, the little miss of the Green Gang, Chen Meng’er is here. She says she wants to see you.” The one who came in was his secretary.
“Chen Meng’er is here?” Upon hearing this news, he almost stood up from his seat in shock. However, fortunately, he was shrewd and quickly steadied himself. “Did she come alone, or did she come with someone?”
“She came alone. Chief, what do you think?” The Secretary asked.
“Let her in.” Chen Meng’er came directly to find him alone, which was out of his expectations. But even so, he could only choose to let Chen Meng’er in.
When Chen Meng’er came in, the leader had already adjusted his facial expression, and the emotions that leaked out just now were all hidden by him.
“Chief, long time no see,” Chen Meng’er said with a smile.
“It’s been a long time. You’ve grown into a big girl.” The leader revealed such an intimate look. It was estimated that even his grandchildren did not receive such treatment.
However, Chen Meng’er was not flattered by such treatment at all. She still looked at the man with a normal expression and said, “Chief, let’s not beat around the bush. Let’s get straight to the point.”
“Okay.” The leader never dared underestimate Chen Meng’er. He put away his pretentious look from before and put on a professional expression.
“I heard from my grandfather that you have a small mission to ask me for help?” The leader was cunning, but Chen Meng’er was not inferior to him.
“You can say that. However, the matter of asking you for help is also related to your father, Qu Yaobing. He is also on the list of special force soldiers who we lost contact with.” Facing Chen Meng’er, the leader did not dare lower his guard at all. He did not say anything else. He first set up a stage to talk about the matter.
“Yes, I heard about it. Initially, I was prepared to save my father single-handedly. However, before I left, I heard my grandfather say that you want me to save everyone.” Chen Meng’er would definitely agree to go there, however, this time, she came to look for the higher-ups with a purpose. She would not give up until she achieved her purpose.
“Yes.” The leader was not sure what Chen Meng’er wanted to say. He became even more vigilant.
“But, it’s impossible for me to save so many people by myself.”
“I’ll send a special forces team for you to lead,” the leader said quickly.
However, Chen Meng’er shook her head. “That won’t do. I’m not familiar with them. They will only drag me down. When the time comes, they will probably have to stay back, let alone find my father.”
“Then what do you mean?” The higher-ups could no longer keep their cool.
“What I mean is that recently, some people seem to be targeting our Green Gang in the dark. I just want the chief to tell those people to show mercy,” said Chen Meng’er as she wiped away the smile on her face, her sharp eyes looked at the other higher-ups.
Chen Meng’er’s gaze seemed to be able to see through everything, causing the higher-ups to shift their gazes to the side, not daring to look into Chen Meng’er’s eyes.
“Ahem. About this matter…” The leader still wanted to decline, but how could Chen Meng’er give him such a chance?
“Chief, don’t find any other excuses. You just have to answer me, yes or no. If it’s not possible, then our negotiation ends here,” Chen Meng’er said firmly.
