Chapter 1488: Chapter 1488: Xing Can’s Secret

Li Jing had just gotten off work, thinking about how to have a romantic moment with his wife when he suddenly received a call from Chu Liyuan. His expression instantly soured…

“Mr. Chu, I literally just got off work!” Though unwilling, he didn’t dare not answer.

Taking a deep breath, he answered, “Mr. Chu, what can I do for you?”

“Li Jing, I’m leaving for a few days, return date undetermined. If anything comes up in the company, go directly to Grandpa.”

“What? You’re leaving again?” Li Jing blurted out his inner thoughts in agitation.

“What, do you have a problem with that?”

“No, no, of course not~” How would I dare?

“Good.” Then he straightforwardly hung up the call.

His boss’s focus on work lately had become increasingly infrequent. The former workaholic was completely gone. This time, it was even more extreme–the return date wasn’t even fixed. Could it possibly extend beyond three months?

Though he thought this way, what could he do? After all, he wasn’t the boss! He was just an employee! His only role was to follow orders.

Once everything was arranged, Chu Liyuan set out for the base without any delay…

On Jian Dan’s end, after dinner with Xiao Ting and sending her back to her room, she made sure Xiao Ting had fallen asleep before returning to her own room.

Lately, Xiao Ting hadn’t been sleeping well because of the incident with Ouyang.

After returning to her room, Jian Dan went straight to the bathroom. After taking a shower, she was ready to sleep. But just as she stepped out of the bathroom, she was pulled away by a strong force.

“Uncle? How did you…” Jian Dan’s words hadn’t even escaped her lips before Chu Liyuan cut her off.

Only after quite some time did he let go. Jian Dan could distinctly feel her swollen lips. “Uncle, this is…?” Jian Dan pointed at her slightly puffy lips and asked.

“Who told you to deceive me, Jian Jian!”

“Huh? I…”

“What?”

The feeling of being caught red-handed wasn’t great at all.

“Then~ Uncle, given what you just did, does this mean we’re even now?”

“Even? I totally disagree with that!” As he spoke, he directly scooped Jian Jian up horizontally…

A thoroughly drained Jian Dan managed to oversleep. When she woke up, the space by her side was already empty. Upon glancing at the time, she scrambled out of bed to dress. After quickly washing up, she hurried to the Special Team.

Who would’ve thought, as soon as she stepped into the Special Team, she’d see both Uncle and Shang already there.

“You two, how come…”

“Back to the team!” Chu Liyuan addressed Jian Dan.

“Yes!” Jian Dan swiftly returned to her position.

“Good! Now that everyone is here, I’m announcing something: Starting today, the Special Team will follow Li’s instructions until the mission is complete.”

The Special Team members exchanged glances.

“What, do you have issues with this, or doubt my ability to lead you?”

“We’ve only heard of you but never met you, so of course, there’s a bit of…” Xing Can was the first to speak.

He always had a knack for courting disaster.

“No problem. I hear you’re skilled in psychology?”

“I am~ I…” Just as Xing Can was about to elaborate, Chu Liyuan hypnotized him.

“What’s your name?”

“My name is Li Tie~”

When that name came out, Jian Dan couldn’t help but bust out laughing.

Of course, aside from Jian Dan, everyone present was equally stunned, as none of them knew his name was originally Li Tie.

“You all didn’t know either?” Jian Dan asked while covering her mouth.

Everyone shook their heads.

“If I had such a lame name, I wouldn’t tell anyone either!” Xiao Ran said bluntly.

“Can you imagine what Xing Can’s reaction will be once he realizes we know his real name?”

“He’ll probably want to find a hole to crawl into!”

Xiao Ran and Jian Dan playfully bantered back and forth.
