The guard, upon receiving the order, shouted, "Yes, sir!"
Old Zhang nodded in satisfaction, then glanced at her with pity before leaving.
"You won't listen to reason, you insist on having your way. Well then, I'll grant your wish..."
[...]
Rockwell Group.
In Luo Chen's office.
“Raphael, you were once a member of the Dragon King’s Palace. Logically speaking, you should know the whereabouts of your Dragon King.”
Raphael shook his head: "Boss, I betrayed you a long time ago. The information from before is useless now, and I don't know anything about the present."
"I see..."
Luo Chen nodded.
He had already anticipated not getting any information from Raphael. Asking again now was just to see if he could find out anything. It was also expected that Raphael wouldn't be able to answer.
Ye Lin was supposed to appear when filming wrapped up, but he deviated from the plot and we still haven't found him. He's hiding like a mouse.
Given his skills, Ye Lin shouldn't have done that.
In addition, Ye Lin is confident and arrogant, so he shouldn't hide himself.
But now, all his subordinates have been arrested, and Han Zhiruo is already qualified to be promoted to bureau chief.
Ye Lin was actually able to endure it.
This is truly unexpected and very puzzling.
Where did that guy hide?
Luo Chen was deep in thought.
“Boss, I believe you can catch him,” Raphael encouraged.
"Hehe, if Ye Lin heard you say that, what would he think? After all, you were once his subordinate."
Luo Chen hadn't expected Raphael to betray him so quickly; he hadn't anticipated that Raphael would betray him on their very first meeting.
At that time, I thought Raphael would follow the plot.
But that wasn't the case.
Luo Chen didn't ask Raphael about her identity; Raphael revealed it herself. When she learned that the Dragon King's Palace had collapsed, Raphael personally told her that she was from the Dragon King's Palace and explained her mission there.
Raphael didn't seem to think much about why she said such a thing; she simply believed that as Luo Chen's secretary, she naturally had to consider his feelings.
Hearing Luo Chen's words, Raphael said with disdain, "What does it have to do with me? I'm your secretary now, boss. Whether that guy lives or dies is none of my business. Since he dares to go against you, boss, I'm naturally on your side. How could I possibly consider his feelings?"
Luo Chen was speechless.
Just how much did Raphael hate Yelin?
It seems Ye Lin is truly unpopular that he could say something like that.
only.
Luo Chen looked at Raphael: "Since you say you're one of my people, then how do you explain this matter of you secretly tattling on me?"
"A tattletale? What tattletale?" Raphael didn't understand.
"Why did you tell Meng'er about Han Zhiqing wearing cat ears? Isn't that tattling?"
"Oh, is this considered tattling?"
Raphael exclaimed, "I thought this kind of thing was just something to talk about in the teahouse. Boss, I really didn't know anything about it. I didn't tattle."
Raphael looked pitiful, as if he didn't know anything.
Luo Chen didn't know what to say next.
After all, she's a foreign girl, so she doesn't know much about things in China.
After thinking about it, Luo Chen decided not to dwell on it.
"By the way, there shouldn't be anything going on today, right?"
"It seems there isn't one, but no, there is one."
What is it?
"The president of Han's Group wants to see you."
Um?
"Is it Han Zhiqing?"
"yes."
Receiving confirmation, Luo Chen nodded. The fact that Han Zhiqing actually wanted to see him meant that she had cheered up.
After what happened, we thought she would need a long time to recover.
Unexpectedly, the time was shortened.
Thinking of Han Zhiqing's lip reading that day, Luo Chen smiled and asked, "Was it said where we would meet?"
"It looks like the Michele Restaurant."
[...]
Michele Restaurant.
Inside the reserved private room.
Han Zhiqing, dressed simply and casually, sat there quietly.
Having stayed at home all this time, she looked pale and had lost a lot of weight.
With Luo Chen's help, she was freed from her shackles and learned the truth.
But the truth saddened her greatly; she learned of her mother's death and her father's betrayal and cold-bloodedness.
She was deeply trapped in her own predicament.
Normally, she wouldn't be able to get over something like this so quickly.
They might even think, "I'll just stay here like this," when they're in a small room.
But when she thought of Luo Chen's appearance, the words he had spoken to her, and the memories they shared, she couldn't help but feel a pang of sadness.
Han Zhiqing gradually regained her composure.
After leaving her room, her first thought was to see Luo Chen.
So they made the appointment here.
However, after that initial burst of energy, Han Zhiqing felt terrible.
Even though Luo Chen hadn't arrived yet, she still lowered her head shyly, her cheeks flushed, and she seemed a little unreserved.
"Luo Chen, do you think I'm a cold-blooded person? After something like this happened, I recovered so quickly... This..."
I didn't think too much about it.
The door to the private room was pushed open.
Hearing the noise, Han Zhiqing jumped and hurriedly looked up.
Han Zhiqing stared blankly at the person she hadn't seen in a long time.
"What's wrong? Why do you make that face when you see me?"
Luo Chen smiled and walked over to sit on the chair next to him.
No, no.
Han Zhiqing stiffened, slightly turning her head away to avoid his gaze.
"Are you alright?" Luo Chen asked with concern.
"I...okay."
Seeing that Han Zhiqing seemed a little reserved, Luo Chen blinked but didn't press her for details.
Changing the subject, she said, "Oh dear, I'm a little hungry. I didn't even eat dinner so I could have this meal you're treating me to."
She glanced up at Luo Chen's gentle smile, and Han Zhiqing gradually relaxed.
"Don't worry, I'll make sure you're well-fed. Don't be shy with me."
"Haha, that's exactly what I've been waiting to hear."
In the relaxed atmosphere, Han Zhiqing also smiled.
At the dinner table, Luo Chen kept telling jokes to make Han Zhiqing happy.
The effect was obvious; the gloom on Han Zhiqing's face gradually dissipated because of the joke Luo Chen told.
Luo Chen was like a ray of sunshine at this moment, making Han Zhiqing laugh from time to time.
Luo Chen's expression softened even more.
Of course, Luo Chen didn't hold back at all.
We ordered a huge amount of food.
They claimed they wanted to fleece Han Zhiqing.
Han Zhiqing simply looked at him gently, with a hint of doting affection.
Seeing Luo Chen's unladylike eating habits, Han Zhiqing's lips curled into an even more doting smile.
She subconsciously pulled out a tissue and helped Luo Chen wipe the grease from the corner of his mouth.
Luo Chen paused.
