"Let everyone know that at this time, I will be accepting all resignations . But there is only one rule: whoever quits now will be put on GK's blacklist, never to be rehired . Let those who choose to stay know that once this crisis is over, their salaries will be doubled . "
"Okay, I will send out a notice right now . " Bella nodded as she walked out of the office with Yang, leaving Huo Mian sitting alone in the president's office . . .
She let out a deep sigh and pressed her temples with her hands, looking exhausted .
Recently, she tired easily and always felt dizzy and sleepy . Huo Mian thought she was being overworked .
She opened her bag and put a piece of chocolate in her mouth to gain some energy .
Then, she closed her eyes, hoping to rest her eyes for a couple of minutes .
Ever since Qin Chu was arrested for murder, even Director Wu called his connections and tried to help him, but unfortunately, his efforts were in vain .
It was also Chen Jie's day off . She came over to visit Huo Mian and brought her some dishes that she had made .
However, Huo Mian didn't have much of an appetite for it . . .
Su Yu was right; this was such a tough situation that many people failed and gave up on, but only Huo Mian kept trying .
Huo Mian knew that if she gave up, no one could save Qin Chu .
He was entangled in Huo Siqian's perfect trap, which was planned carefully and was basically inescapable .
No one could see any weakness in that trap . They couldn't figure it out at all .
Huo Mian thought about it for a few nights; the truth was, she didn't want to use her last resort .
Unless it was approaching the end of the world, she didn't want to go down that road . But with the date of the first trial approaching, there was no other way out except that one .
- Some Island in the Pacific Ocean -
A bright and beautiful young girl, wearing a long sky-blue Bohemian dress, stood on the cruise ship with a glass of champagne in her hand .
"Boss, here is the latest information I found . "
"Mhm . " The young girl put her wine glass down, picked up the document, started reading carefully without missing a single word .
"The situation is already so complicated . "
"It is, Boss . Do we need to step in?"
The young girl remained silent .
"Your brother-in-law is in jail now . His company's stocks are being purchased maliciously, their situation is quite dire . "
The young girl still remained silent .
"Boss, are you worried about what the professor said?" the man next to the girl asked hesitantly .
"Yes," she nodded, "Dad said that if I went back to help her right now, it will blow her cover . If her true identity gets involved, the situation will be a hundred times more dangerous than it is now . Right now she's going through some hard times, but at least she's not in life-threatening danger . Also, rumor has it that my sister's husband is friends with an American mafia group . The Rick and Lino Brothers won't sit on the side and do nothing . "
"But even if what he said is all true, Boss, don't you also worry about her safety?"
The young girl seemed to be affected by what her lackey said . She bit her lip and fell silent .
After a bit . . .
She started slowly, "Dad has lived longer than me, I know he has his reasons behind the words he says and the decisions he makes . Plus, his love for my sister is not much less than mine . Maybe this is really not the best time to find my sister . Maybe we should keep waiting and see . "
Afterward, the young girl picked up the champagne glass and finished it in one sip .
Then, she walked into the cabin with a heavy heart .
Over the last few years, she had visited almost the entire world . It seemed like there was nowhere that she had never been .
The highest she had been was the Himalayas; the lowest she had been was the deep sea of Alaska .
Europe, Australia, Asia… The seven continents and four oceans, there wasn't a place that she had never been to .
The life she experienced was also under the fire of guns and bullets .
The whole world knew that she was the professor's daughter, so she had to live a cautious life filled with anxiety .
She had to try to make sure she didn't get caught, that she didn't get captured as a hostage to be used against her dad and that she tried to stay safe and not make her dad worry .
So what her dad said was not wrong . Over the last twenty-or-so years, her sister's peaceful life was much happier than hers .
Although she had a lot of money and a lot of followers, her life was in a struggle between life and death .
To her, just being able to see tomorrow's sunrise was a luxury .
Ever since she was born, she only had two wishes:
One was that she could survive and leave behind her life of guns and bullets .
The other one was to meet her sister Huo Mian and reunite as a family .
Two days later, the High People's Court held the first hearing for major homicide 327 .
Wearing a black suit and with her hair tied in a bun, Huo Mian appeared before the court, looking smart and professional .
