“Since he’s already bitten his tongue, he’s not that much of a threat for the time being. Immediately send someone to keep an eye on him. If Liu Qing doesn’t make it, pretend that nothing happened. I’ll explain to Lang Nan.”

Huo Jue narrowed his eyes, his killing intent rising. “But if he survives and betrays us, get rid of him immediately.”

“Understood, Elder Huo.”

After Xiao Ming received the punishment for Liu Qing, he immediately asked, “What about the mission entrusted to us by Deputy Governor Lang? With Liu Qing’s current appearance, it’s obvious that he didn’t succeed. Should we continue sending people over?”

“There’s no need. Since we didn’t succeed, we don’t have to care about this matter. I’ve had a lot of missions recently, so let’s put aside some unimportant things.”

Huo Jue leaned back in his chair and drummed his fingers on the table. “A person like him takes himself too seriously. He’s not a worthy companion. It’s good to let him suffer a little and learn his lesson.”

“Understood. I’ll send someone to the Federation Hospital to keep an eye on it.” With that, Xiao Ming prepared to leave the room.

Just as he reached the door, he was stopped by Huo Jue. “Xiao Ming, how’s the communication with Zhou Yan going?”

“Elder Huo, there’s basically no problem. He said that he needs to be given three days to think. After three days, he’ll tell us his final choice.”

Xiao Ming reported the situation. “But I can tell from his eyes that he can’t resist the conditions we propose, so there shouldn’t be a problem.”

“That’s good. This way, the most important problem at hand has come to an end. Next, I should deal with my own matters.”

With that, Huo Jue waved his hand. When Xiao Ming saw this, he consciously left the office.

The night gradually deepened. The moon was faintly visible behind the dark clouds, providing insignificant light. Everyone had also entered a state of rest.

The only one still working hard for his future was Lang Nan. The bright lights in the office were especially eye-catching at night.

To be honest, even he didn’t expect to be forced to this extent by a woman one day.

Recalling the storms of the past, no matter what troublesome things he encountered, he could turn misfortune into fortune and successfully survive.

However, Shan Yue was like his nemesis, obstructing him all the time.

But even so, Lang Nan would not give up so easily.

He believed that humans ruled over the heavens and that their fates were in their own hands. The only reason why others dared to fight him was that he was not ruthless enough.

At this moment, in the bright provincial office, Lang Nan was sitting alone on a chair. The hot water that had just been poured in front of him was surrounded by smoke. It curled up like a fairy, giving off a hazy feeling.

As he waited longer and longer, he gradually became anxious and could no longer sit still.

After a while, he stood up and walked to the window to see if any of his subordinates had returned. Then, he paced back and forth in the room.

It wasn’t until the tea on the table was almost cold that he remembered to drink it. Then he poured a new cup.

This action was repeated at the same time. If not for the cup of refreshment tea that went down his stomach and the thought that Lang Nan had been persistent about, he would have been so sleepy that he would have fainted.

Finally, there was a response to Lang Nan’s painstaking persistence. He clearly heard clear footsteps in the corridor outside the door. It was very messy. It was definitely not the movements of one person.

Lang Nan stopped in his tracks and looked nervously at the door, hoping that it was the person he had sent to carry out the mission.

As expected, the complicated footsteps stopped in front of the office door. Clearly, they were Lang Nan’s bodyguards.

Immediately after, there was a knock on the door. Lang Nan couldn’t suppress his excitement. Suppressing his anxiety and irritation, he pretended to be calm and sat on the chair with his legs crossed.

“Come in..”
