Chapter 348 She Has Family
Lu Jinye's words startled Wen Ni.
But Wen Ni quickly suppressed her shock and forced herself to calmly push his hand away. "Oh, I understand. If I meet her, I will definitely pass on your message!"
"Thanks."
Hearing his somber thanks, she nodded expressionlessly, and together with her brother, loaded the things into the trunk of the rental car and sat in the back seat.
A bitter smile spread across her lips as she waved goodbye to her brother, Gang Maqi, her gaze silently falling on Lu Jinye's face, which was filled with mixed feelings of heartache and sorrow.
They continued driving until the car was far away and could no longer be seen in the rearview mirror.
Wen Ni's straight back finally bent, her shoulders trembling uncontrollably. Tears streamed down her face, each drop landing on her legs, yet she couldn't make a sound.
go home.
She will definitely return home safely!
The setting sun disappeared behind the mountains, and night fell.
At 8 p.m., Wen Ni returned to the Blind Thorn Villa in northern Myanmar.
In the villa's living room, the bodyguards helped Wen Ni spread out the local specialties she had brought back on the table, packing them into portions for easy distribution to everyone the next day!
"You came back quite early."
As Blind Thorn entered, she saw them bustling about and said with a smile, "Brother Hua Ying, I thought you wouldn't be back until tomorrow morning!"
“If I hadn’t come back sooner, some people would have continued to monitor me. It’s really uncomfortable to live under other people’s noses every day like this!” Wen Ni sat at the table without turning her head.
The bodyguards around them dared not act recklessly, standing on either side with their heads bowed!
The special treatment that Blind Assassin gave Hua Ying was something that everyone in the villa had become accustomed to and no longer found strange!
"You knew all along? Actually... I sent people to follow you to protect your safety. After all, I was worried that Ban Gou... still had ulterior motives."
"Huh~ If you hadn't said anything, I would have thought you were like Ban Gou, harboring doubts about me and wanting to throw me into the arena to fight a few more times!" Wen Ni said sarcastically, a smile playing on her lips.
"Brother Huaying, please don't be angry with me. I'm just doing my job!" Seeing that he was in the wrong, Blind Thorn pretended to be aggrieved first!
He stepped forward and sat on the stool opposite Wen Ni, cupping his face in his hands and putting on a flattering smile, his pure eyes appearing quite innocent.
"Brother, you are ultimately meant to stay by my side. The Chamber of Commerce is forcing me to stay unless I thoroughly investigate your background!"
"That's good! If you don't keep me, I can finally have some peace and quiet!" Wen Ni had a million things to say in rebuttal. She took out a small dried shrimp, popped it into her mouth, and then turned to take away the remaining local specialties that were packed up.
"Wait! Wait!" Blind Thorn hurriedly reached out and grabbed Wen Ni's pocket. "Brother, everyone got some, even the part-time cleaning lady got some, why didn't I get any?"
"Oh dear, how could I possibly deserve to be called 'brother' by you?" Wen Ni said casually, continuing to pack. "I guess you won't be used to these country things I brought back!"
"How could that be? Alright, alright! Brother Huaying, don't be angry with me!" Blind Thorn still wouldn't let go, and he wrinkled his nose at her in an appeasing manner, "How about this! After we're done with this busy period, I'll give you a long vacation. You can go back and rest however you like, I won't care! Okay?"
"Finished with this busy period? What's next?" Wen Ni rolled her eyes, frowning as if she was very impatient!
“Brother, you’re not an outsider, so I can tell you!” Blind Thorn said, taking a small dried shrimp from Wen Ni’s open bag and putting it in his mouth. “The Imperial Alliance Chamber of Commerce is currently preparing for a very important international trade project. The Burmese military will also be involved. Our chamber of commerce has been assigned tasks from top to bottom, and we can’t be idle for at least a month. Brother, you have to work with me too!”
"I don't want to," Wen Ni said, refusing swiftly.
"Brother~ can you just keep me company?" Blind Assassin chased after him, acting cute and charming.
"snort."
"Good brother~"
Wen Ni only pretended to be uninterested.
In reality, she was playing hard to get, lowering the blind assassin's guard!
Blind Thorn didn't elaborate on the Imperial Alliance Chamber of Commerce's international trade project, and Wen Ni couldn't ask any further questions.
The only thing she was certain of was that Williams would definitely be there for such a big project!
Earlier, on the second floor of the underground arena, she saw the figure talking to Blind Assassin in a room, and she was 100% certain that it was Williams!
This is also the main reason why she chose to leave Ban Gou's protection and follow Blind Assassin through various schemes.
What is our task today?
"Nothing special." Blind Assassin nodded, his hand on the steering wheel. "Just checking out the factory, Hua Ying, you can think of it as a relaxing trip with me~"
"Um."
Wen Ni responded verbally.
Upon arriving at the factory, someone greeted me as soon as I got out of the car.
Leather bag and jacket, bald head and big belly, perfectly matching Wen Ni's stereotype of a factory manager!
"Young Master Blind Thorn! Look, why did you have to come all this way in person? Don't worry! I've already taken care of everything that needed to be done!"
“Well, just to be on the safe side, the higher-ups require us to go through all the procedures. After all, this international trade conference involves Myanmar’s overall market position in the world, and we can’t afford any mistakes!” Blind Thorn put his hands in his pockets and raised his chin. “Please lead the way, Director Zhou.”
"No trouble at all!"
Factory Director Zhou bowed and scraped, displaying the utterly servile demeanor of a lackey!
Wen Ni followed behind, seemingly nonchalant and carefree, but in reality, she observed and remembered everything around her.
"Young Master Blind Thorn, I actually have a question!"
Director Zhou, with a fake smile on his face, walked ahead side by side with Blind Thorn, chatting as they went.
"The things our factories are responsible for are all very confidential! I personally feel that they are unlikely to affect the holding of this international conference! Besides, no one from the international community has come down to investigate. Are we making a mountain out of a molehill by being so strict?"
"Making a mountain out of a molehill? If something really goes wrong, this problem will be serious! If someone with ulterior motives sabotages and obstructs or ruins this international conference, causing our position in the international market to plummet is a minor matter. Damaging the international reputation of the entire Myanmar region is the real issue! Do you think it will be as simple as just getting a few chambers of commerce to step forward and apologize?"
"Hmm... Is it that serious?" Factory Director Zhou secretly pursed his lips, but when Blind Thorn looked over, he immediately became enthusiastic. "I understand now that you've mentioned it, young sir! Starting today, I will have people guarding the factory 24 hours a day!"
"Absolutely not! Just do things normally! Making a big fuss will only be a pretense and a smokescreen, and will only make things worse!" Blind Assassin waved his hand impatiently. "Have you compiled all the information I asked you to gather? Don't miss a single piece. Only by handling these things thoroughly can we ensure that nothing goes wrong!"
"It's all sorted out already! The stuff is in my office, I'll take you to see it now?" Director Zhou smiled obsequiously, but in reality, he was practically grinding his teeth to powder.
He refused to accept the blind stabbing.
Wen Ni, who was following behind, saw all of this!
That makes sense. It's inevitable that a person in their forties would feel resentful if they had to work under a boss who was about the same age as their son, bowing and scraping every day.
“Brother Huaying”.
Blind Thorn stopped and turned to look at Wen Ni.
"You wait outside first, Director Zhou and I will go in to discuss some things!"
"Okay, call me if you need anything."
Wen Ni responded calmly and readily.
I felt a pang of regret that I couldn't go in with them!
We can't hear with our own ears what exactly this important thing they're talking about is.
