Chapter 45: The Beginning

"I've already made up my mind about Yuan Ping. Just bring him here," He Ting said. He didn't want to hear Li Li's words anymore. He wanted to know where An Ke was from Yuan Ping's mouth.

Since Li Li failed to persuade He Ting, he could only sigh deeply and brought Yuan Ping in front of He Ting. "Boss, Yuan Ping is here. He..."

"Okay, you can go now," He Ting directly told Li Li to leave.

Before leaving, Li Li glanced at Yuan Ping and He Ting. He was reluctant to say something but finally gave up. He knew He Ting's personality. It was useless to say anything.

It was estimated that the only person in the world who could change He Ting's mind was An Ke. But An Ke had long disappeared. The world was so big. Where could He Ting find him?

He Ting took a look at Yuan Ping. Maybe because he had been locked in the room by He Ting and refused to eat or drink, Yuan Ping looked extremely weak now.

There were dark circles under his eyes. His face was pale. His lips were whitish due to lack of water. He looked extremely exhausted. Seeing Yuan Ping like this, He Ting felt a bit heart - ache.

He Ting really had always treated Yuan Ping like a younger brother. Yuan Ping was indeed wrong this time, but He Ting couldn't entirely blame him. After all, he did it for He Ting's own good.

"Where on earth did you hide An Ke?" Even though He Ting felt a bit heart - ache for Yuan Ping, An Ke was really too important to He Ting. He couldn't lose him.

Yuan Ping twitched the corner of his mouth. It hurt a bit. He smiled indifferently. "Brother, I really didn't. I just told him to leave. Later, I found that I really couldn't find him either."

He Ting suddenly stood up. He paced back and forth in the room helplessly. "An Ke, where on earth is An Ke? I can't, I can't let him leave..."

Yuan Ping was startled by He Ting's state. He quickly grabbed He Ting. "Brother, what's wrong with you? Have you really been poisoned by An Ke?"

He Ting tried to shake off Yuan Ping but failed. His clothes were torn, and it was clear that there were wounds all over his arms.

Yuan Ping was a bit confused. He Ting had been well - protected recently. How could there be wounds? And these wounds were obviously new. How could this be?

Suddenly, Yuan Ping seemed to remember something. His face was full of disbelief. "Brother, you actually hurt yourself for An Ke. Is An Ke really that important to you?"

He Ting subconsciously covered his wounds. He had already been poisoned by An Ke. He probably couldn't get rid of it in this lifetime, and he didn't want to.

Seeing He Ting's silence, Yuan Ping finally understood how important An Ke was to He Ting. "Brother, okay, I know. I will definitely help you find An Ke with Li Li."

He Ting didn't say anything. If An Ke didn't want to show up, he couldn't be found. Just like he suddenly appeared and suddenly disappeared before.

"Brother, don't worry. I will definitely find him. I will," Yuan Ping said firmly. For his brother, he would surely do it.

He Ting still didn't say anything. He just gently patted Yuan Ping on the shoulder. "You don't need to worry about these things. Take good care of yourself. I was also wrong before."

Outside the door, Li Li saw Yuan Ping being brought out by He Ting. He finally knew that the two had reconciled. He felt relieved. "Boss, Doctor Chen is here to check your body."

He Ting nodded. He told Yuan Ping to take good care of himself and then left. Yuan Ping's tears couldn't stop flowing. He knew he was wrong.

"Li Li, let's work together to find An Ke and make up for my mistake," Yuan Ping tightly clenched his fists. It was his fault, and he must make up for it.

The next day, everything seemed calm on the surface. Yuan Ping and Li Li were still searching for An Ke intensively, but secretly, the old foxes in the company couldn't sit still.

"President, this is the report submitted by the finance department. Please take a look," Fu Qing said. Looking at He Ting who was still looking through the materials, he put the report beside He Ting and then stepped back to wait for He Ting's instructions.

He Ting looked up at Fu Qing. After thinking for a while, he picked up the report and looked at it carefully. No matter how angry He Ting was, he would never bring his emotions to work.

However, this work report finally gave He Ting a chance to vent his long - held anger. He Ting threw the report on the ground.

Fu Qing quickly picked it up. He hadn't read the report before. He just saw the seal of the secretary department, so he brought it to He Ting. He didn't expect there were such big loopholes in this report.

"President, it's my fault. I didn't review it well and just... I'd like to write a self - criticism and accept a salary deduction," Fu Qing quickly admitted his mistake. He didn't expect that someone couldn't wait so soon.

He Ting knew that Fu Qing was innocent in this matter. "You are my special assistant, not from the secretary department or the finance department. What does it have to do with you? It seems that some people have been living too comfortably recently and can't help itching to make trouble."

Fu Qing knew who He Ting was referring to and didn't reply. He just needed to wait for He Ting's order.

"Go and call all the people from the secretary department and the finance department up. I'm going to have a meeting in the conference room," He Ting said. Fu Qing knew that He Ting was going to rectify these people again. Without much thought, he quickly went to notify everyone for the meeting.

He Ting was left alone in the empty office. As soon as Fu Qing left, He Ting seemed to deflate and slumped into the chair.

Before, because of his father's sudden death, He Ting took over the family company in a hurry and felt a bit overwhelmed. So he pretended not to see many things.

However, now the company was thriving under his leadership. He didn't need to endure anymore. Even if he was willing to turn a blind eye to everything, some people didn't think so.

They wished they could take action themselves. But this time, he was going to play a big game with them. They had already taken action when he was in a coma in the hospital.

Yuan Ping only punished Hao Ming. It seemed that it wasn't enough. This time, he was going to uproot them and force them into a corner.

"Father, if only you were still here..." He Ting looked at the photo of him and his father on the table. He felt a bit nostalgic and looked into the distance with a far - away look in his eyes.

Although his father wasn't a kind - hearted father in the traditional sense, he always fulfilled his son's requests. Moreover, he never remarried because of He Ting's mother who died early.

He knew that He Ting liked An Ke and didn't force him to separate from An Ke. Instead, he always supported him. Having such a father was really a blessing for He Ting.

The only pity was that until now, he still hadn't found the murderer who killed his father and avenged him. But this was just a matter of time.
