Tables and chairs were arranged neatly inside Li Group’s large, spacious meeting room. The floor was covered in an expensive red carpet. It was a luxurious meeting room.
At the head of the table, Bai Chen was sitting calmly. There was a coffee mug in front of him. He had already drunk half of it.
It had been 20 minutes after they had left the office of the vice president Hua Hai.
Bai Chen had been sipping his coffee for the past 20 minutes, waiting for the police to arrive.
When they did, Li Cong Tian would hand over the accounting ledger showing embezzlement of funds, the important evidence implicating Hua Hai, to the police. The rest of it would be the police’s job. Feng Chao would eventually be relieved of the charge.
“Mr. Bai San, would you like more coffee?” Li Cong Tian, who was sitting beside Bai Chen, asked politely.
Li Cong Tian was in a better mood now.
At this point, one could say that Li Cong Tian was an admirable person. Even though he had to deal with the betrayal of his close subordinate who had been working with him since the firm’s establishment, he was still able to be calm about it.
“No, thank you,” Bai Chen replied softly. He still wondered why Li Cong Tian was so polite to him.
However, he did not think too much about it because he was only here for the mission.
“President, sir, the police are here.”
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door. It was Li Cong Tian’s bodyguard.
He’d ordered his two bodyguards to guard the door and to immediately report to him if the police arrived.
“Let them in,” Li Cong Tian called back in reply at a moderate volume.
The door was opened. A fine, enchanting figure in a police uniform walked into the room. Her neck-length long hair was blown back a little, revealing her smooth skin under it.
She was none other than Xu Xin Tong, a police lieutenant general of Xing Zhou city police station.
Behind her was lieutenant Jong and two police officers.
“Huh?” Bai Chen’s eyes widened a little when he saw Xu Xin Tong and the other three officers. He did not expect that Xu Xin Tong would be on the case too.
“Huh?” Not only Bai Chen, but Xu Xin Tong’s eyes also did the same when she saw Bai Chen.
“You!” She stopped short. Her face clearly showed surprise. She had not expected to see Bai Chen here…The man who’d saved her from Hei Chang, the great assassin.
Since that day, Xu Xin Tong had been wanting to repay Bai Chen, who’d saved her life.
It was a shame that she had not been able to do it because she did not know his address. It was true that he had given her his phone number, but he’d never contacted her.
Thus, it could not be helped that she had not been able to repay him.
Other than that, when Xu Xin Tong had met him again, he had been in his 18-year-old form, and she’d thought that he was his nephew. The nephew had also saved her life. She had been saved twice by both of them.
Of course, it was only her misunderstanding. How could Bai Chen be his own uncle and nephew? It was all thanks to the thousand-face skill.
Actually, she also wanted to thank the 18-year-old Bai Chen as well because he’d saved her from the assassin from the Hell Shadow International Assassin Association.
However, she had not been able to do that either because of the same reason: she did not know Bai Chen’s whereabouts.
It was obvious that even though Bai Chen had refused to let her treat him to a meal, Xu Xin Tong still wanted to repay him. She’d even asked about his whereabouts and phone number from her sister, Xu Xie Ning.
It was a shame that Xu Xie Ning had not told her anything. In the end, Xu Xin Tong could only keep the issue of repaying the two Bai Chens all to herself.
Lieutenant Jong and the other two police officers also stopped walking when they saw Xu Xin Tong had. They wondered why she’d halted like that.
While they were wondering, Xu Xin Tong rushed towards Bai Chen.
“I never thought I’d see you here.” Xu Xin Tong spoke with a cold and stiff voice. She sounded distant.
Bai Chen was not surprised that she talked to him like that because she had spoken like this since the last time.
“Me neither.” Bai Chen said with his normal voice.
Li Cong Tian was fine with this because he thought that a man as glorious as Bai Chen would know the second youngest daughter of the Xu family, one of the five big families of Beijing.
Xu Xin Tong flashed Bai Chen a meaningful look. Last time, she felt that there was something difficult to explain to him deep inside her.
Months later, all those feelings had vanished. However, seeing him again now seemed to bring them back.
“If you don’t mind, please let me treat you to a meal to repay you for that day,” Xu Xin Tong said.
Bai Chen went quiet for a while. He did not expect Xu Xin Tong to remember it. He thought for a little and eventually nodded. It should not be a problem to dine with her once. “Okay.”
“Thank you.” Xu Xin Tong felt happy that Bai Chen had accepted so that she could finally repay him for what he had done for her.
Then, she suddenly recalled that she had to repay his nephew as well. Xu Xin Tong prepared to speak.
However, before she spoke, Bai Chen interrupted. “Leave this for later. You still have an important thing to do.”
Bai Chen looked at Li Cong Tian who was sitting beside him.
Xu Xin Tong seemed to finally recall that she had been sent here by superintendent Yang to investigate the embezzlement case at the Li Group.
She turned to Li Cong Tian without hesitation. “Mr. Li, I’ve heard of this from superintendent Yang. Where is the evidence?”
“Here.” Li Cong Tian handed over Vice President Hua Hai’s accounting ledger to Xu Xin Tong as soon as she asked for it.
Xu Xin Tong flipped through the accounting ledger. Her face went cold. One of the types of people that she hated the most was those who pinned a crime on innocent people.
“Lieutenant Jong, go bring Hua Hai here.” Xu Xin Tong closed the accounting ledger and gave her order to lieutenant Jong who was standing behind her with the two other police officers.
“Yes, ma’am!” Lieutenant Jong accepted the order without hesitation and rushed out of the room along with the other two officers.
