Chapter 66 Investigation Suspended
Meanwhile, Wei Mingfeng reluctantly took the two to the hospital for treatment. After a night of emergency care, the two were out of danger and the surgery was successful. However... Wei Mingfeng still hadn't gotten what his boss wanted.
After learning that Zhao Tingguo and the others were out of danger, Wei Mingfeng went to the ward to see Luo Zhiwei.
Of course, it wasn't that he absolutely had to go; the main reason was that he needed to find Lu Jingxiao, so he could only go to Luo Zhiwei's ward.
Otherwise... you simply can't find it.
Sure enough, when he entered the ward empty-handed, he was met with a disdainful look from his boss.
Lu Jingxiao snorted, "Assistant Wei, this is too outrageous. Visiting a patient, and you... come empty-handed?"
Wei Mingfeng: "......"
President.
Don't you even think about me? At least look where I am.
I came from the hospital, right next to yours, no, I came up from downstairs.
Do I have to go outside and buy something before coming in?
Besides, I didn't come to visit Secretary Luo, so what's the meaning of your mockery?
Luo Zhiwei was speechless; how could this guy say such a thing?
"Assistant Wei, thank you for visiting me. But you must have something to discuss with President Lu."
The fact that Luo Zhiwei is lying in a hospital bed does not mean that her intelligence has declined.
She still didn't believe that Wei Mingfeng had really come to visit her; he probably just happened to be passing by, and that... his real purpose was to find Lu Jingxiao.
Wei Mingfeng: "......"
You've said everything, so what else do I need to say?
He awkwardly twitched the corner of his mouth and said apologetically, "Secretary Luo, I apologize for coming so abruptly today. I will visit you with my colleagues next time. Please forgive me for today."
Luo Zhiwei nodded slightly, a smile playing on her lips: "Assistant Wei, you don't need to be so polite. I should be able to be discharged from the hospital in a few days. See you at the company then."
The implication was that there was no need to come; I would be discharged soon, and there was no need for this extra step.
Lu Jingxiao frowned slightly, his eyes narrowed dangerously, he was in a very bad mood at the moment.
When did Luo Zhiwei become so familiar with Wei Mingfeng? They even talked about meeting at the company, and she said it so gently.
When will Luo Zhiwei be a little gentler with him?
Lu Jingxiao snorted: "You two are very close?"
Luo Zhiwei: "......"
One of your secretaries, one of your assistants.
Do you think we're close or not?
Wei Mingfeng immediately felt an alarm go off in his mind!
The CEO is angry!!!
He immediately changed the subject: "President, I have something to report to you, about..." Wei Mingfeng glanced meaningfully at Luo Zhiwei: "About Chairman Zhao."
Lu Jingxiao's face darkened further, and he said coldly, "Then let's talk outside."
Inside the emergency exit, Lu Jingxiao ignored Wei Mingfeng's work report and instead suddenly started 'calculating': "Assistant Wei, are you very familiar with my Weiwei?"
It's obvious that Lu Jingxiao is asserting his sovereignty.
Luo Zhiwei!
mine!
It's mine!
No matter how close you are to her, it won't matter!
The alarm bells in Wei Mingfeng's mind were ringing louder than ever; it was practically Liszt's "Will-o'-the-Wisp," not only keeping him flustered but also causing him to suffer from oxygen deprivation in his brain.
"Mr. Lu, you misunderstand. Secretary Luo and I only got to know each other because of you, so we're not really close. It's just that I took extra care of Secretary Luo because she's an important person to you."
If he doesn't distance himself from the situation at this point, he might be directly assigned to grow potatoes in Siberia.
Having been by President Lu's side for so many years, how come I still haven't figured out that he's a hopeless romantic?
Lu Jingxiao gave a few arrogant snorts. He was already in a bad mood, and if Wei Mingfeng said anything unpleasant, then everyone would have a hard time today.
"Mr. Lu, Zhao Tingguo and Lin Wanru are currently unconscious. We can't get the answers you want out of them for now. However... once they wake up, I will continue to press them and will definitely get the answers you desire."
Lu Jingxiao lit a cigarette, exhaling smoke with a worried expression. He said softly, "No need. I don't want to know the answer now. After they wake up, send them in and we'll talk about it later."
Luo Zhiwei wouldn't allow him to get serious, nor would she allow him to kill anyone, so locking someone up for a while shouldn't be a problem, right?
If he can't even do this, then what's the point of all those years of hard work climbing the ladder?
Wei Mingfeng felt a bit confused. Should he just let it go?
It's not like this these past two days.
He almost killed someone, and now he's saying he won't pursue the matter?
Wei Mingfeng was still a little unwilling to give up, so he cautiously asked, "President, may I ask why?"
Lu Jingxiao took a deep drag on his cigarette, and as he exhaled the smoke, it seemed to carry a hint of stale air. His eyes were also filled with confusion: "If Weiwei doesn't want me to know, then I'll just pretend I don't know."
What else could he do but compromise?
Wei Mingfeng: "......"
So, you gave up just because of one sentence from Secretary Luo?
"Wei Mingfeng, let's leave it at that for now. Once that bastard Zhao Tingguo wakes up, throw him in there and let the people inside take good care of him."
Perhaps he has driven Zhao Tingguo to the brink, and he might ask someone else for help, which could... perhaps help Weiwei investigate the cause of Aunt Luo's death.
Wei Mingfeng: "...Yes, I'll handle it."
Lu Jingxiao nodded slightly: "Yes, thank you for your hard work during this time."
Wei Mingfeng's eyes widened suddenly, his face filled with disbelief.
It wasn't easy; President Lu actually noticed his hard work. But after thinking about it carefully, he still felt something was off.
It's like when a village slaughters a pig for the Lunar New Year and then says to the pig they've raised for a year or two, "Thank you for your hard work..." It has a kind of horrifying sense of déjà vu.
"Mr. Lu, just tell me what you need. I can do anything, except go through fire and water."
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
He spoke unnecessary words.
Finally, Lu Jingxiao and Wei Mingfeng were locked in a stalemate for two seconds: "Fine, if there's nothing else, you can go back. I'll give you a bonus later. Take care of the company's affairs first, and don't bring anything to me unless it's important."
“Okay, Mr. Lu.” Wei Mingfeng perked up immediately upon hearing the word ‘bonus’.
At that moment, he felt that all the previous hardships had been worthwhile!
——
When Lu Jingxiao returned to the ward, Luo Zhiwei was calmly playing on her tablet, or more precisely, using it to handle official business.
He was speechless. Did everyone in the company die, and now they needed an injured person to come to work?
"Secretary Luo, you are truly dedicated to your job. Shouldn't I give you a bonus?"
Luo Zhiwei didn't look up. She simply finished what she was doing, copied her usual colleagues, and then put the tablet aside: "President Lu, is Zhao Tingguo in this hospital?"
Lu Jingxiao's expression hardened: "How did you know?"
“Since Assistant Wei works for you, and you didn’t arrange for him to come to the hospital, he shouldn’t bother you unless you asked him to do something. The only thing I can think of is Zhao Tingguo.”
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
I knew it! This brat is using all her attention on me.
"Can I see him?"
If she doesn't see him, how can she get her injuries back?
