Chapter 972: 972
On the second morning, Xia Lei received a message from Tang Yuyan . I have already approved of her return and her resignation . You have two more days to find the spy .
Xia Lei showed Long Bing and Fan Fan her message .
“She suddenly gained a conscience?” said Fan Fan .
Liang Siyao said, “Nope . She probably just approved because she now knows that Ah Bing wants to resign and will not threaten her throne . ”
Long Bing’s contribution far exceeded Tang Yuyan . She was the one who arrested Yu Shanhe, who was a major criminal . More importantly, she was Xia Lei’s woman . Although Xia Lei had no official title in China, he was the pride of the nation . His reputation was astounding in the country . If she wanted to replace Tang Yuyan, it would be a piece of cake . This threatened the Tang family .
“Do you think the Tang family leaked information about Ah Bing working on a Japanese mission?” said Fan Fan .
Liang Siyao stared intently at him, waiting for an answer . She already had an answer for herself .
Xia Lei smiled bitterly . “Probably not . That is considered treason . Even if the Tang family are ruthless people, they would not risk it . You can speak of it here but don’t mention it outside of our home . ”
“You’re too kind . You trust so easily,” said Fan Fan .
“The law forbids murder, yet there are so many murderers out there, no? The law also forbids corruption, yet bribery still happens, right?” said Liang Siyao .
Her words made sense . He just didn’t want to believe it .
“Fan Fan, get your grandfather to come to the office,” said Xia Lei, changing the topic .
“Alright, but why do you want him to come?” Fan Fan seemed awkward . “Are you talking to him about the wedding? He won’t accept your dowry . ”
“It’s not about the wedding,” said Xia Lei . “I am going to trick him . ”
“Huh?” Fan Fan was stunned…
When he arrived at the office, Xia Lei got busy, typing out a document at his desk .
Qing Caiyue walked in . “Director Xia, why isn’t CEO Liang here today?”
Xia Lei said, “She’s out picking wedding dresses with Fan Fan . ”
She walked over to him . “Is she picking a dress for herself or for Fan Fan?”
Xia Lei quickly turned the monitor off and pretended to be solemn . “Caiyue, don’t say that . It would be bad if other people hear you . ”
She grinned . “Director Xia, everyone knows about your marriages . Also, it’s not a bad thing . All the men in the company are so jealous . ”
“Just don’t say that,” said Xia Lei .
Qing Caiyue walked over, slightly lowering her chest . The top three buttons of her shirt were undone, revealing her fair skin . He could clearly see her deep cleavage and smell the fragrance of her perfume .
Xia Lei instinctively leaned back . “What are you trying to do?”
“Director Xia, have you forgotten what happened in France? You almost…” Qing Caiyue said seductively . “We almost did it . ”
Xia Lei said, “That was a misunderstanding . ”
Qing Caiyue continued leaning closer towards Xia Lei .
“Siyao, you’re here,” he said suddenly .
Qing Caiyue straightened up and turned around, only to realise Liang Siyao was never there .
She pouted . “Director Xia, you lied . ”
Xia Lei said flatly, “Caiyue, stop this nonsense . We will never be together . If you continue this behaviour, I will have you sent to the Shu Di base . Go make me some tea . ”
Qing Caiyue’s eyes darkened . Just now, Xia Lei was like a friend who was an old crush but now, he was truly just her boss . There was a cold distance between them . Right now, she was just an employee here for her paycheck .
Qing Caiyue turned around to make him some tea .
He turned the monitor on to continue working . When she brought his tea over, he turned it off again .
“Director Xia, what are you typing?” Qing Caiyue placed a cup of Jinjunmei black tea .
“It’s not important . You may leave to do your own work now . ”
“Mm . ” She turned and left .
“Wait,” Xia Lei stopped her . “Elder Fan will be coming today, please prepare for that . Decorate the conference room . Inform my chef to prepare lunch .
“Are many people coming?” said Qing Caiyue .
“Not many, just a few leaders from the military . Right, it needs to be more official . Get some girls who can dance and sing . Arrange for a few performances,” said Xia Lei .
“No problem, Director Xia,” said Qing Caiyue . “Which military leaders are they? We’ve never done any performances before, why now?”
Xia Lei said, “This time, the general of the Airforce is coming along with a major figure from Pakistan . I heard this Pakistani will play an important role in our military position within the South Asian subcontinent . He will be bringing with him a . . . ” Xia Lei trailed off . “That’s all you need to know . Go prepare, remember to choose talented and beautiful girls . It’s important for the image of Thunder Horse Group . ”
Qing Caiyue smiled . “Then I should perform myself, I will be the face of Thunder Horse . ”
Xia Lei waved . “Go, go . ”
Qing Caiyue left . After that, he turned the desktop monitor on and accessed the Thunder Horse Group’s surveillance system . This time, he did not use any tactics because he already had the highest authority clearance within the organisation .
Boxes appeared on the screen, people at every corner of the place were put on display .
It was time to cast the net a second time .
There were many suspects but he had no direct evidence that anyone was the spy . He made Qing Caiyue go choose the performers and knew that this news would reach the spy’s ears . This was the first step to his plan .
The plan wasn’t supposed to be this soon but Tang Yuyan only gave him two days . If he still couldn’t find the spy, then the Bureau 101 would intervene . When that happened, the spy would either run or do something drastic to save themselves . He did not want to accept any of these outcomes . He had to catch the spy by his own means!
Meanwhile, within the academy of sciences .
Fan Fan put a fresh set of formal attire on Fan Yiming’s office desk .
“What’s the matter?” Fan Yiming, who was busy with work, looked up at his precious granddaughter .
Fan Fan said, “Grandpa, change into this and visit the Thunder Horse Group . ”
“No . That punk has been going behind my back . Does he know who I am? I’m his grandfather! If he doesn’t treat me as one, then I refuse to recognise him as my grandson! Listen to me, don’t marry him . You won’t be happy married to him . ”
“Sigh . Grandpa, you’re acting like a child!” Fan Fan pouted . “He didn’t tell you because you didn’t have the ability to keep the secret . Do you know how important the secret is to our country?”
“I could protect you well enough . Why can’t I protect this secret?”
“Is it the same thing? Also, didn’t he say he’ll tell you when we get married?”
“I can’t sleep, I can’t eat . I’ll probably die before your wedding . ”
“What are you talking about? I don’t want to talk about this . ”
“Hmph, fine . ” Sometimes, Fan Yiming acted like a child . His hatred towards Xia Lei was like a child hating his class teacher .
Fan Fan sighed . “Grandpa, I came today because you need to accompany an important person from Pakistan and a leader from the Air Force on a visit to Thunder Horse . This is very important . Your presence will show our sincerity . Listen to me, go change . ”
“I’m not going . I’m not going no matter what you say . ” Fan Yiming was stubborn .
“Fine . ” Fan Fan said, “If you go, I’ll get Xia Lei to give you the true recipe and manufacturing process of Alloy X for your research . What do you think?”
His eyes shone with excitement instantly . “Are you serious?”
“Of course I am, I’m your granddaughter, why would I lie to you?” Fan Fan gave a solemn expression .
“He’ll listen to you?”
“I’m pregnant with his child, he’ll listen to whatever I say . ” Fan Fan pushed her hips out forward to show the small bump on her belly .
“I knew it . Sigh, fine . I don’t want to scrutinise your lifestyles . I’ll go change . ” Fan Yiming picked up the tuxedo from the desk and left for the lounge .
Fan Fan left the office and went to her office .
When she opened the door, there were several people in airforce uniforms and a Pakistani . He was clad in traditional attire, slightly tanned and had a tall nose . He had the classic Punjabi look . Punjabis made up a major portion of Pakistan, a branch of the Aryan people . They were easily distinguishable .
Liang Siyao was also in the office . “So?”
Fan Fan smiled . “It’s done . My grandfather is easy to convince . He’s just like a child sometimes . ”
Sometimes, Fan Yiming acted like a child but women were best at coaxing children .
“I’m done too . ” Liang Siyao grinned .
The ‘generals’ from the air force came over to shake Fan Fan’s hand, calling her ‘Director Fan’ .
These weren’t any soldiers . They were teachers from a performing arts school in Jingdu, all experienced actors . The Pakistani wasn’t any important figure from Pakistan . He was just a student actor who came to Jingdu to further his studies .
“Are you all okay with it?” said Fan Fan .
“Of course . ” The actors were all relaxed .
“You all remember what to say, right?” said Fan Fan .
“We remember . Don’t worry, General Fan . We will put on a good show,” said the actors .
“That’s good, let’s go then,” said Fan Fan .
A group of actors and two pregnant directors .
The only audience member changed into his tuxedo excitedly .
The show was about to begin .
