Chapter 629: The Next Governor
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Cheng Yan’s cold eyes seemed to be tempered with ice. In an instant, her cold and terrifying aura spread throughout the entire office, making one shudder. “If you let me stay for a few more days, I’m really worried that 1 won’t be able to hold on and accidentally say something.”
“So did you say anything?”
Lang Nan ignored everything Cheng Yan had said and asked directly, “1 want to hear the truth.” As soon as he finished speaking, the room quickly fell into a silent atmosphere. Mist surrounded the sky, and even the breathing of the two of them could be heard clearly.
The fog surrounded the sky, and even the breathing of the two of them could be heard clearly.
“Deputy Governor Lang, do you know what question you’re asking? Are you suspecting me now?”
Cheng Yan’s answer broke the strange atmosphere for a moment. “If I had revealed what had happened, I wouldn’t have dared to come back to see you as soon as I came out. I would have bought a ticket and escaped long ago. Why would I have to suffer for myself?”
“You have a point.” Lang Nan waved his hand and immediately changed his attitude. He said half-jokingly, “That was just a joke. Don’t be so serious. If I didn’t believe you, 1 wouldn’t have waited for you here.”
Cheng Yan looked up at Lang Nan and did not say anything else about what she had just said. Instead, she walked to the opposite side of him and sat down. Then, she picked up the steaming tea and tasted it.
“Alright, let’s get back to business. Let’s discuss some serious matters. The exposure of the Federation Hospital has caused the entire Federation City to fall into panic. There are too many pairs of eyes watching this matter. Even I can’t interfere so easily.”
Lang Nan crossed his hands. “Only when the most vigorous limelight passes will I dare to use some connections to get Wang Ming to let you out.”
“I naturally understand these things.”
Cheng Yan nodded. “1 firmly believe that no matter what, you will definitely come to save me. That’s why I can last until now.”
“However, the current situation is not as optimistic as we thought. Such a huge thing has happened in Federation City. The higher-ups will send people down to investigate sooner or later.”
Lang Nan’s eyes narrowed slightly. “If they really find some clues that can prove us, no one will be able to escape the law.”
“Don’t worry about this, Deputy Governor Lang. Although everyone outside knows that I have a backer, no one knows that that person is you.”
Out of instinctive vigilance, Cheng Yan still didn’t tell him what had happened between her and Shan Yue. “This way, no matter how the people outside investigate, they won’t be able to trace it to you. So in this matter, you’re still absolutely safe.”
Although she said that, Lang Nan, who was already very suspicious, nodded on the surface. In fact, he naturally did not believe it in his heart.
Cheng Yan had the same mentality. The two of them were just an unspoken mutual understanding separated by a piece of paper.
However, what Lang Nan did not know was that Shan Yue had already obtained evidence and recordings of his crimes. This would also become something that would kill him in the near future.
“1 knew you were meticulous. You’ll definitely reassure me.” Hearing that it had nothing to do with him, Lang Nan did not hide his smile at all. “Then let them investigate as much as possible. I don’t believe they can pose any threat to me.”
“But it’s too early to be happy. I can hide the fact that I’m yours for a while, but
I definitely can’t hide it for the rest of my life.”
In a moment, Cheng Yan had finished half a cup of tea. “Since the virus has already caused the Federation’s Central City to enter such a state, we can’t just stand by and do nothing.”
“Ever since the novelty of the virus was confirmed, I’ve already spent a high price to hire the most famous lung doctors in the country and even overseas to gather in the laboratory I’ve long prepared.”
Lang Nan smiled confidently, revealing his confidence from the inside out. “I know that Yu Sen and Shan Yue have already begun to work alone, but 1 don’t believe that the person I find will be any worse than them. As long as I can be the first to develop the antidote to the virus, the next governor will be me..”
