Chapter 88: Chapter 088 The Great Devil Escapes_1
“Lu Jin, what are you doing?”
“We’re screwed!” Lu Jin said in a panicked tone, “I don’t think it’s that simple! The boss must have been rejected by a girl he likes, so he’s quite troubled.”
Chen Qi stammered for a while, retorted, “No…no way?” He saw it firsthand! They…they’d even kissed, and the girl was so pretty——
Did the girl refuse, and the captain forced his will anyway?
Given the captain’s temper, he would 100% do something like that!
Touching his chin like a seasoned veteran, Lu Jin said, “According to my analysis, the captain must be in a bad mood! We all need to be careful, or else we’re all screwed.”
Everyone widened their eyes, damn! How did he come to that conclusion? Why was their theory completely different from Lu Jin’s? Wait…if the captain found out they were talking about him behind his back, they’d be courting death!
In the communications room, Huo Beijiang’s face darkened as soon as he picked up the phone.
“Brother, it’s Jinlan.”
“What? If there’s nothing, I’m going to hang up. I’m busy now!”
Huo Beijiang’s indifferent attitude made Huo Jinlan’s heart sink further. In her urgency, she shouted, “Wait, there’s something!”
“What is it?” Huo Beijiang frowned, a hint of confusion in his mind. Normally, his family wouldn’t call him while he was at the military base due to various inconveniences and risks.
They didn’t want to distract him!
His tenacious mind and years of dealing with extremists provoked him to be alert first.
Did Jinlan want to take the initiative in the conversation? Make him follow her line of thought?
“Where’s grandma? Let her talk.” He interrupted Huo Jinlan harshly, causing her to grit her teeth.
“Grandma went out!” Afraid that he would hang up, Huo Jinlan quickly said, “Brother, are you okay? Is it tough on the military ship?”
“I’m fine! Not tough.”
“… I’ll let mom take the call.”
Huo Jinlan knew that her behavior during her brother’s last visit had upset him. At this time, she couldn’t be anxious, so she handed the phone to Yuan Xueshan.
Yuan Xueshan had been eagerly waiting. As soon as she got the phone, she blurted out like spilling beans.
“Beijiang, I have something to tell you. Jiang Nanfei came to our house to break off the engagement this morning. Your engagement is off. But don’t worry, I will help you find a better one…”
“What did you say?” Huo Beijiang brutally interrupted Yuan Xueshan’s words. “Say it again.”
Yuan Xueshan’s heart tightened, she knew her son would be angry, but the angrier her son, the more she couldn’t admit that it was her who initiated the breakup. “Jiang Nanfei came to break off the engagement and swore she will never step into our house ever again.”
Huo Beijiang’s breath hitched momentarily, but he concealed it quickly. His handsome face was deadly cold, the fury in his eyes frightened everyone in the communication room into silence.
Everyone watched him with trepidation.
“Of course it’s true, when have I ever lied to you?” Yuan Xueshan began her lie somewhat hesitantly, but as she continued, she became more fluent. She exaggerated the events that happened at the door, making it sound highly plausible.
