Chapter 278 The Beauty and the Boss's Love and Career (31 words)
He paced back and forth in the monitoring room, his steps hurried and heavy, each step seeming to dent the floor.
"What about all that before!"
It was just a minor skirmish, a group fight, a little friction.
They didn't destroy all the equipment and facilities in our underground city like this guy did!
Look at this scene! He turned the entire gambling area upside down! Everything was a mess, completely unrecognizable!
Can this be the same?
Ah! I'm asking you, can these be the same?
The team leader suddenly stopped, turned around abruptly, and stared intently at the deputy team leader, his eyes burning with a fury that seemed capable of igniting a flame.
The deputy team leader felt uneasy under the team leader's gaze. He opened his mouth, but his throat felt like it was choked by something, and he couldn't make a sound.
He was stunned for a long time before finally managing to squeeze out a single word:
"this…"
The team leader didn't give the deputy team leader a chance to speak at all, and continued angrily:
"I could let it go before, but do you even know what day it is today?"
The deputy team leader was completely bewildered by the question, his face filled with confusion and bewilderment. After hesitating for a long time, he finally answered weakly:
"...What? I really don't know what's so special about today."
The team leader held his head in his hands, spun around twice, and shouted almost desperately:
"Today, the boss, who comes here only once in a century, is here to discuss business!"
The boss is right here in the underground city, doing business right under our noses!
"!!!"
Upon hearing this, the deputy team leader's eyes widened instantly, and his expression changed from surprise to extreme terror.
His mouth was wide open and he couldn't close it for a long time; it was almost falling to the ground.
He never expected that the boss would be in the underground city at this critical juncture.
And to make matters worse, they encountered such a huge mess; it was a nightmare for working people.
The most terrifying nightmare!
The team leader was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan, pacing back and forth, muttering to himself:
"The boss finally comes by, and when he walks in, he sees the gambling area in this terrible state. Isn't this just a clear indication that we'll get criticized and lose our jobs?"
The whole team might be implicated! What should we do?
"!!!"
The deputy team leader was once again stunned into silence, with only one thought racing through his mind:
That's it, all my performance this time is ruined, and I might even face more serious consequences, like losing my job.
The team leader paced around the room several times before suddenly stopping and saying with a serious expression:
"No, no, we can't just sit here in the monitoring room waiting any longer."
As he spoke, he hurriedly took off the palm-sized metal blood fox hanging around his neck.
The blood fox gleamed eerily under the lamplight; it was an important symbol representing their identity and authority.
The team leader carefully handed it to the deputy team leader, his expression solemn, his tone carrying an undeniable firmness:
“I don’t trust them to go find the person who caused the damage; I have to go myself.”
Take this with you, then go to the scene of the crime immediately and subdue everyone present. Don't let a single one escape.
"Once we catch the person who caused the damage, we'll go together to apologize to the boss. Understand?"
The deputy team leader's hands trembled as he gripped the Blood Fox tightly, as if it were his last lifeline.
He nodded vigorously, his voice trembling slightly.
"Okay, I will definitely do it well."
Team leader, please be careful too.
After saying that, the two hurriedly left the monitoring room and went to their respective tasks.
Yun Sui hid in the small warehouse, listening intently to the sounds outside.
As the chaotic footsteps and noisy voices gradually faded away, he slowly relaxed, let out a long sigh, and slid down the wall, collapsing onto the ground.
He raised his hand to wipe the dense beads of sweat from his forehead, and his heartbeat gradually returned to normal.
At that moment, Ran Cang's urgent voice suddenly rang out in the earphones:
"Yun Sui, please go and ask her for me if Ruan Ruan is alright now."
Yun Sui was startled and subconsciously turned to look at Ruan An.
Ruan An's small body was curled up in the corner, her hands tightly covering her mouth, as if she was trying her best to choke all her cries.
His whole body trembled uncontrollably, like a fallen leaf shivering in a gale.
Yun Sui frowned slightly, a hint of ruthlessness flashing in his eyes.
He thought to himself, "I've already taken such a big risk to rescue this child, what does anything else have to do with me?"
So he said coldly into the earpiece:
"I've rescued him, my mission is complete."
Ran Cang paused for a moment on the other end of the earpiece, seemingly having anticipated Yun Sui's response, and then quickly said:
"Yun Sui, please do me this favor and go see him. Consider it an obligation I owe you."
From now on, if there's anything you need, I'll do my best to help without hesitation.
When Yun Sui heard the words "owing a favor," his heart stirred slightly. After weighing the options in his mind, he felt that the deal wasn't a bad one.
So he reluctantly stood up and walked towards Ruan An.
He knelt down beside Ruan An, his face still expressionless, and mechanically began to speak:
"Are you ok?"
There was not a trace of emotion in his voice; it was as if he were reciting a meaningless line of dialogue.
Ruan An did not respond, but his body trembled more and more violently, and tears flowed uncontrollably from between his fingers. In this dark and oppressive warehouse, his fear was magnified infinitely.
Seeing that Ruan An had no reaction, Yun Sui couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
But thinking of his deal with Ran Cang, he patiently asked again:
Are you alright?
After a long while, Ruan An slowly raised her head, her eyes filled with fear and confusion.
He opened his mouth, making a few indistinct sounds in his throat, as if he wanted to say something, but he couldn't get anything out.
After struggling for a long time, Ruan An finally stammered out a few words:
"I...I...I..."
Each word seemed to have been spoken with all his might, accompanied by a violent tremor.
Yun Sui frowned, leaned closer, and tried to hear what Ruan An was saying.
Ruan An was startled by Yun Sui's sudden approach and trembled, shrinking back and hugging herself even tighter.
"I...I'm so...scared..."
Ruan An finally managed to finish her sentence, and tears welled up in her eyes again.
His body trembled like a leaf, as if it would fall apart at any moment.
Looking at Ruan An's appearance, Yun Sui felt little pity, but still continued as Ran Cang had instructed:
"Oh, they'll find a way to get you out of here."
His voice remained flat, without any inflection or emotion.
Upon hearing Yun Sui's words, a faint glimmer of hope flashed in Ruan An's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by fear. He sobbed as he said:
"Really...really...? But...but...they...will...find us..."
As he spoke, he began to tremble violently again, as if he could already see the terrifying scene of those people chasing after him.
Yun Sui looked at Ruan An, unsure of what to say.
He's not used to comforting others, nor does he want to waste too much time and energy on it.
He stood up, listened intently to the sounds outside again, and then spoke into the headset:
“He’s terrified. He keeps saying he’s worried about being found. That’s all I can do. You’ll have to figure out how to comfort him after the meeting.”
Upon hearing Yun Sui's words through the earpiece, Ran Cang was speechless for a moment. After a brief silence, he couldn't help but retort:
"...Yun Sui, you're being way too perfunctory!"
Is that all it took to get rid of the matter?
Ruan Ruan is terrified right now. Can't you say something more comforting to put his mind at ease?
