My CEO Husband Has Some Issues-Chapter 457 - : Is the Situation Serious?

Chapter 457: Chapter 457: Is the Situation Serious?

Rong Yan thought of the man’s pathologically tired face and her heart suddenly clenched, “You’re saying the situation is very serious?”

“Not very serious, just rather tricky and it happened all of a sudden. The subsidiary was caught off guard, and the leadership has no idea how to handle it. Mr. Li could only go there in person.”

It indeed wasn’t a particularly serious matter, just a misunderstanding.

The subsidiary unearthed embezzlement and bribery at the senior level. While tracing evidence against the executive involved, he somehow caught wind of the investigation and, out of fear, jumped from the building at the subsidiary.

Now his family wouldn’t stand for it; they were outside the company, protesting with banners, demanding an explanation.

Normally, it would have been fine to simply present the evidence of the executive’s corruption and bribery, but frustratingly, the person investigating this matter was abroad and couldn’t be reached at the moment, not even by phone.

Currently, the family of the executive who had jumped was rallying people outside the company. The public outcry looked very ugly.

“I was supposed to go too, but Mr. Li was worried about leaving you alone in Capital City, so he asked me to stay,” he said. If he had gone, he wouldn’t be so worried.

It was precisely because he hadn’t gone that he was worried.

Mr. Li was already injured, physically weak after being busy and tired recently. What if he got hit or touched by those causing trouble?

Rong Yan took a deep breath and clenched the paper bag she was holding, making a swift decision, “You know where he is, right?”

“Huh?”

“I’m going to Lin City too, come with me,” Rong Yan looked him in the eyes, “Let’s set off right now!”

It would take two or three hours to drive from Capital City to Lin City. As for flying… the security check would take longer than the flight itself. It would be better to drive!

If she were to go alone without Gu Ming, she could borrow a race bike from Gu Linxi. With her speed, it would only take two hours to reach Lin City.

But Gu Ming was also here, and while she might dare to ride, he certainly wouldn’t dare to sit on it. So in the end, the only compromise was to go by car. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Seeing him still rooted to the spot as if he hadn’t snapped out of it, Rong Yan’s brows filled with an expression of resignation, “Aren’t you worried about Li Shengxiao? If we don’t go to Lin City and just stay here, our worry will be in vain. If I go, I can at least keep an eye on him, make sure he doesn’t overwork himself and neglect his own health.”

“Miss Rong, are you really going to Lin City?”

“Mhm.”

Gu Ming told her that Li Shengxiao was on a business trip – wasn’t it because he was worried about Li Shengxiao, hoping she would go to help persuade that man who worked himself to death on the job?

She had already said she wanted to go, yet he looked utterly dumbfounded.

“If you’re worried that Li Shengxiao will be angry at you for knowing, I’ll go alone; then I can tell him you didn’t know.”

She knew that man seemed easily persuaded and softened in front of her. But in reality, with someone else, that man was unbearably domineering.

Gu Ming simply didn’t dare to defy his orders.

“It’s just…” She was about to say it was okay for her to go to Lin City alone to avoid involving Gu Ming, when the person in front of her already clenched his fists, making up his mind, “I’ll go with you!”

“I’ll go and start the car.”

He had the car keys on him and before going to start the car, he didn’t forget to ask Rong Yan, “Miss Rong, see if there’s anything else you need to bring. If not, let’s leave immediately.”

“There’s nothing else.”

Everything she needed to bring was already on her.

Rong Yan glanced down at her inconvenient lady’s dress and high heels and said to him, “I’ll go up to change into a set of clothes and be right down.”
