Chapter 489: Chapter 489 Change Clothes_1 Chapter 489: Chapter 489 Change Clothes_1 Snow Eagle Office–
The car Chen Qi was driving was Huo Beijiang’s usual ride. The vehicle arrived at the entrance and the security guards already let it pass.
Entering the main gate, the sound of various training exercises and occasional laughter can be heard on both sides of the road.
As they passed a large training field, Huo Beijiang rolled down the car window, and those training in the field waved at him.
He waved back, and Lu Jin came running over. Leaning on the car window, he grinned, revealing a dazzling set of white teeth, “Boss, how is your wife doing? When can we visit her?”
The men were all discussing about the captain’s wife in whispers, surprised to learn that The Great Devil would even get a wife.
At the initial stage, they thought it was just bragging!
Speaking of Nan Fei, the gloominess in Huo Beijiang’s eyes seemed to have intensified.
Chen Qi subtly signaled to Lu Jin. Lu Jin, more observant than Chen Qi, noticed Huo Beijiang’s unsound mood right away, having spent quite some time with him.
So as soon as the question was asked, he regretted it.
“Boss, the leaders are waiting for you! Let’s hurry,” Lu Jin quickly changed the topic.
After the car stopped at the office building, Huo Beijiang got out of the car and left. Lu Jin then grabbed Chen Qi by the collar and dragged him into a corner.
“What are you doing? Can’t we have a nice talk?”
“Who said we’re going to have a nice talk?” Lu Jin wondered if Chen Qi’s brain had been flooded during his days away, considering he had forgotten what kind of place this was. “We, from Snow Eagle, have always been straight to the point.”
“Speak! What’s wrong with my boss?” Lu Jin deliberately asked fiercely.
Chen Qi wanted to cry, “I don’t know!” He didn’t dare to talk about the captain’s affairs! He remembered all too well how it felt when he reported to the captain what he had learned from Doctor Lu.
It was something he would never forget. At that time, he thought he was done for.
“Chen Qi.” Lu Jin flexed his wrist and gave a crafty smile, “You probably don’t realize you are a terrible liar, huh?”
“Honest, I swear. I was just following orders. I have no idea what’s going on. Seriously, I really don’t know,” Chen Qi replied with a bitter face.
Lu Jin smirked and said, “It seems there is a lot that you don’t know. For instance, do you know that in Snow Eagle we have this place called the ‘little black room’?”
“The little black room?” Chen Qi shivered. He knew it all too well! From the first day he joined Snow Eagle, he had heard about it in the dorm-room discussions.
“Isn’t that a myth established by the old staffers just to scare the new guys?”
Lu Jin gave him a look, as if to say, “You’re so naive.”
“If you refuse to talk, I will lock you in the little black room.”
“I can’t tell you, I absolutely can’t,” Chen Qi was trembling from fear, yet he remained resolute and shook his head, “This is an order. Even if I die, I cannot disobey the captain’s command.”
“Oh! I underestimated you. You’re tough,” Lu Jin was genuinely surprised, “Okay then! I don’t need you to tell me the specifics, you can give me a rough idea.”
He didn’t even wait for Chen Qi to refuse, “Is it about your boss’s wife?”
Lu Jin was quick witted. Since the captain’s wife was in the hospital, she must be in poor health. Once he had that realization, he let go of Chen Qi. He was just intimidating him all along. If he had beaten him up, his boss would surely send him in the ‘little black room’.
Inside the Snow Eagle conference room, it was packed with people. The man at the head was a prominent figure in his fifties with a tall, hefty build and a pair of dark, thick eyebrows.
This was Du Tianning, the head of the Provincial Rescue Center.
He was known to be a rather short-fused hot-head who particularly disliked Tu Cheng. Because of this, his opinions often were aligned with Huo Beijiang’s.
Huo Beijiang’s wild demeanor, his audacious air, desiring to stand shoulder to shoulder with the sun, was at least half cultivated by Du Tianning.
“Why isn’t he here yet? This bastard even dares to defy me. He must be in need of a good lesson,” Du Tianning, not one to have much patience, started to get antsy after waiting for over half an hour.
Many of the men there were Du Tianning’s followers, and they all gave a helpless look upon hearing his words.
Some brazen man couldn’t resist saying, “Director, we are looking forward to you disciplining captain Huo.”
Du Tianning snorted coldly, “Keep dreaming!” He couldn’t bear to do anything to his golden boy!
Ha, ha, ha! Knew it would turn out .
Jiang Linzhang was seated in the middle, observing everyone’s expressions. Even he was beginning to envy Huo Beijiang’s luck — accomplishing countless feats, causing numerous troubles, yet still being the apple of Director Du’s eye.
“Oh! You guys from Snow Eagle participated in the World Ship King Congress with Boss Tu last time, right? I heard there was nearly a fight?,” asked Du Tianning, who had always disliked Tu Cheng.
Jiang Linzhang immediately stood up, “Director Du, there was a small disagreement, but no fight took place.”
Why does Director Du look disappointed after hearing that there was not a fight?
“Next time Tu Cheng comes asking for people, do not supply!” ordered Du Tianning in an annoyed tone.
Just as this conversation was going on, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open from outside. Huo Beijiang entered, casually dressed in leisure wear, looking rather informal compared to the others in the room who were wearing standard rescue team uniforms.
“Huo Beijiang, where’s your uniform?” Hu Shilong, being impulsive, asked right away.
“Sorry.” Huo Beijiang coldly turned around and left, leaving everyone in the room looking at each other.
Jiang Linzhang, suppressing his laughter, replied, “He went to change his clothes!”
“Utterly ridiculous, we have all been waiting for him, and he has the nerve to run off?”
Hu Shilong’s eyes widened, desperately wishing to rush out and give Huo Beijiang a good beating.
