While Xia Sanghuan and Professor He were intensively developing the medicine in the laboratory, the atmosphere in Leng Chuanjin's company had dropped to freezing point.
"By now,"
"there's no need to protect the person behind you anymore, right?"
His deep voice echoed in the silent meeting room, and the coldness in his tone could even seep into people's bones.
Two people were kneeling in front of him. One was a new employee in the management department recently, and the other was the department manager.
"Still not going to talk?"
"If you don't, I'll send you straight to jail."
Hearing his words, the department manager immediately panicked.
He crawled two steps towards him on his knees, grabbed his trouser leg, and said with a sobbing voice, "Young Master Leng, I've served you like a bull or a horse for so many years. You can't treat me like this!"
The department manager was a middle - aged man. Back then, Leng Qiuhua had forced him into the company when Leng Chuanjin hadn't fully taken over yet.
At first, because of his background, Leng Chuanjin had been on guard against him in the early days.
But after working with him for so many years, he found that the manager was outstanding in performance, and Leng Qiuhua hadn't used him to do anything to the company, so he gradually relaxed his vigilance.
Unexpectedly, he would stab him in the back through Leng Jingzhan at this critical moment.
He looked at the man who was crying messily with a look of disgust. Yun Ye beside him immediately understood and asked the security guards to drag him out.
Compared with the department manager who was crying hysterically, the new employee beside him seemed very calm.
He just lowered his head silently, as if everything around him had nothing to do with him.
Leng Chuanjin sat on the chair, quietly confronting him.
"I'll give you three minutes."
"If you don't talk, you'll be dragged away."
Hearing this, the employee raised his head and looked at the man sitting high above like an emperor.
It was thought that he wouldn't speak, but suddenly he laughed mockingly twice out of the blue.
"Although we didn't succeed this time, next time it may be different."
"Moreover, do you think we only targeted Leng Jingzhan?"
There was a crazy look in his eyes as he stared at Leng Chuanjin.
"Leng Chuanjin, Leng Chuanjin. You're just a clown who serves as a stepping - stone for others now."
"What are you so proud of? Anyway, sooner or later, you'll be pulled down from this position!"
He looked at Leng Chuanjin playfully, with a sinister smile on his lips.
Leng Chuanjin's eyes instantly turned colder.
He clenched his fists tightly to hold back the impulse to punch the man.
He stared fiercely at the man kneeling on the ground and spat out a few words as cold as ice.
"Tell me everything you know."
However, after saying these words, the employee lowered his head again, returning to his previous listless state, showing an attitude of refusing to reveal any more information.
Leng Chuanjin knew this was his provoking method, aiming to force him to lose his composure.
If he got angry at the employee, he would fall right into his trap.
Leng Chuanjin suppressed the anger rising from the bottom of his heart and waved his hand at the people beside him.
The next second, this employee was also dragged out like the previous manager.
When there were finally no outsiders in the meeting room, he let out a tired sigh.
His once - straight back was now sunk deep into the soft chair back. He leaned his head on the pillow, feeling that he was about to faint the next second.
But he couldn't.
Yun Ye was worrying beside him and advised, "Young Master Leng, no matter what, go home first and have a good rest."
"Only by taking good care of your body can you carry out the next step of the investigation."
Leng Chuanjin shook his head.
The words of the employee just now were like a thorn in his heart, making it impossible for him to relax.
This time, it was Jingzhan who had an accident. What about next time? Who would it be?
Would it be Wanqing and his mother?
Or, would it be Xia Sanghuan?
His heart skipped a beat.
Compared with his mother and younger sister who had always lived in a safe environment, this little girl always seemed to face all kinds of dangers.
Moreover, since she was working for him now, it was not ruled out that the other side would target her.
Besides, there had already been such an incident before.
The Doctor Ding and his assistant brought back from the hospital had already told everything they knew.
There was no important information. Even the fact that their families were threatened had been expected by him in advance.
But he was not a soft - hearted person and would not let them go just because they had their own difficulties.
After all, they almost killed Jingzhan.
He promised to protect their families, and what they needed to do was to reflect on their mistakes in jail for the rest of the time.
Fortunately, he had no shortage of confidants. In just one night, the information of the people related to this incident had been found by his subordinates.
He took the folder handed over by Yun Ye and directly flipped to the page with the new employee's information.
As expected, nothing was found.
Not even the relationship between him and Leng Qiuhua could be found.
To be exact, all that was found were just insignificant scapegoats.
He knew that Leng Qiuhua must be involved in these things, but he couldn't find any evidence to accuse his uncle.
So there was no reason to arrest him.
His face darkened.
Yun Ye looked at his unpredictable face and racked his brains to think of something to persuade him to go and rest.
Suddenly, he remembered the phone call Xia Sanghuan made this morning.
He asked Leng Chuanjin carefully, "Young Master Leng, Miss Xia called you this morning."
"Do you want to call her back now?"
Hearing Yun Ye's words, Leng Chuanjin pulled his thoughts back to reality.
Her phone call?
He hesitated a bit.
But thinking of the words that had made him restless just now, he still nodded.
"Call her back."
It was just the right time to confirm whether she was safe now.
Thinking this way, he took the phone handed over by Yun Ye.
The phone had just been dialed for no more than three seconds when Xia Sanghuan's slightly breathless voice came from the other end of the receiver.
"Hello, Second Brother?"
Hearing the girl's voice, his restless heart immediately calmed down.
"Yeah."
"What's up?"
"You called me this morning, didn't you?"
"Yes, Second Brother. Did you rest last night?"
Hearing this, Leng Chuanjin obviously paused for a moment.
"Second Brother?"
"You didn't sleep all night, did you?"
Hearing the strange silence on the other side, Xia Sanghuan immediately understood something.
"Did something very serious happen?"
"Are you injured?"
Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, she asked anxiously.
"I'm fine."
His faint voice came.
"What about you? Did you sleep well?"
Instead of answering the girl directly, he threw the question back.
His voice became very gentle, completely different from the tone he used when interrogating the two people just now.
