Chapter 717 Tail
But Annabelle Xia's replied with a soft snore.
She was too sleepy already and she just couldn't stay awake and listen to him.
When Alistair Mu saw that she was sleeping so soundly, he didn't continue. He simply kissed her lips
and went to take a shower.
……
The next day, in the company.
Alistair Mu sat on his swivel chair and he was wearing a deep blue suit. The man was exuding a
pressuring aura as there was a stern look on his gorgeous face.
"How was it?"
Jack walked over and passed him the document, "It's all here!"
As Alistair Mu opened it and scanned through the contents, he sneered coldly.
So that was it!
"President Mu, what should we do now?"
Alistair Mu simply lowered the documents and smirked confidently. With this, he had taken control of
the chesspiece, "Nothing, let them enjoy a few more days!"
"I hadn't thought that he was the one that did it…"
"Jack!"
"Yes?"
"Don't tell anyone about this!"
Jack looked at Alistair Mu and he knew the reason behind his instruction, the man didn't want to let
Annabelle Xia know.
The man nodded agreeably, "Got it!"
Alistair Mu glanced at the document on his desk. He wanted to mess with me, Alistair Mu?
Sadly he just wasn't up to par yet!
"By the way, president Mu, I received news that the Xia Group will be signing the CS project with Frieda
in two days!"
"Two days?" Alistair Mu raised his eyebrows lazily.
"Yes!" Jack nodded.
"Okay, I understand!"
Jack didn't ask further. He knew his boss would always have his own thought and plans. He believed
the man could settle it in no time.
In the afternoon, in a coffee house.
The place was quiet and there was hardly anyone inside. Alistair Mu sat in a seat by the corner and
that was a cup of coffee in front of him. The man's long fingers were tapping on the table lightly and he
seemed to be in reclining on his chair leisurely.
At that time, the glass door was pushed opened and a man walked inside.
The man looked around and the moment he saw Alistair Mu, he walked forward.
"President Mu, may I know why are you looking for me?" The man was none other than the director of
the design department of Yun Rui, Lee Yi.
Annabelle Xia had looked for him previously as well.
The moment Alistair Mu saw him, he smiled and gestured the man to sit down, "Have a seat!"
In front of Alistair Mu's authoritative presence, Lee Yi sat down nervously.
"What do you want to drink?" Alistair Mu asked casually.
"No, there is no need…"
Alistair Mu did not force him and simply lifted his cup of coffee elegantly and took a sip.
"President Mu, may, may I know what is the reason you look for me?" When facing Alistair Mu, the man
was much more nervous than when he faced Annabelle Xia. After all, Alistair Mu had a great
reputation.
"It's nothing, I simply wish to talk to you!" Alistair Mu looked at him and smiled. The man's eyes were
showing sincerity and Lee Yi just didn't know how to react.
"By the way, I heard that your son will be needing a heart transplant?"
Lee Yi was interlocking his fingers. When he heard that, he got all the more nervous, "Yeah, that is
true…"
"That requires a lot of money. How was it? Are you able to afford it?"
Lee Yi nodded hurriedly, "Yes, I have already gathered the money!"
"How much is it?"
"Five hundred thousand…" Lee Yi answered nervously.
This felt very familiar. Lee Yi had experienced this when Annabelle Xia interrogated him earlier. Now
that Alistair Mu was the one doing it, the man was on the verge of losing his cool.
He couldn't help but feel that the husband and wife were just similar!
"Five hundred thousand? That isn't a small amount at all. It seemed that director Lee had quite some
savings!" Alistair Mu said mirthfully. Lee Yi was unable to guess the meaning behind his smile.
The annual income from Yun Rui was about three hundred thousand. The man had just gotten his
promotion and it wasn't time for his own desk. According to Jack's investigation, the man wasn't
financially well off at home. Therefore, to be able to bring out five hundred thousand all of a sudden…
Lee Yi got even more anxious, "I borrowed it from my relatives…"
"Really?"
"President Mu, can you just tell me the reason you look for me?"
"Oh, it's nothing. I heard that you are quitting your job and I am here to follow up with you!"
Lee Yi didn't dare to make eye contact with Alistair Mu. He lowered his head, "My son will need to take
the surgery soon. I wish to accompany him at home after the surgery. Therefore, I'm so sorry to quit my
job and let you down!"
"That's alright…" Alistair Mu continued to sip on his coffee elegantly. The man simply examined him like
an object.
At that time, Lee Yi's phone rang. He picked it up and took a look. After that, he gripped his phone and
said, "President Mu, excuse me but I have something coming up and I got to go!"
As the man stood up and wanted to leave, Alistair Mu called out to him suddenly, "Lee Yi, why not you
check this out?"
When Lee Yi heard that, he turned his head back. Alistair Mu took out a deck of pictures and put it on
the table. When Lee Yi saw the pictures, he was stunned.
The man's face turned pale right away and he stared frightfully at the pictures. The man was gripping
his fist hard.
When Alistair Mu looked at his reaction, his lips curled up, "Can you please explain these pictures?"
Lee Yi raised his head and looked at Alistair Mu. The president simply reclined to his seat lazily and his
gorgeous face was showing a confident expression. His eyes looked as if he had completely dissected
him.
"President Mu, this… What does this mean?"
"How much did he offered?"
Lee Yi looked at him and he didn't dare to make eye contact. The man said diffidently, "I don't know
what you mean!"
"You don't know?" When Alistair Mu heard that, his expression took a sudden change, "Lee Yi, I am
laying down an opportunity in front of you. You better appreciate it. If you were to miss this, I will not
give you another chance!"
Lee Yi bit his lips and said no more. He knew that the more he said, the more fault and weaknesses he
might show.
At that time, Alistair Mu stood up and he was exuding an overbearing aura. The man walked slowly
towards Lee Yi, "I will give you one day. After this one day and you decided not to take this opportunity,
then I will simply do it my way!" After saying that, he glanced at Lee Yi and walked outside.
Jack was by his side all the time. He saw that Alistair Mu was showing a friendly front all the time to
Lee Yi, and had only bared his true fangs in the very last moment.
Jack knew that the more Alistair Mu acted that way, smiling elegantly… The more he was infuriated
and burning inside…
The assistant glanced at Lee Yi and followed the boss outside.
When Jack got inside the car, he looked at his president and asked, "President Mu, why didn't you say
it directly?"
"His son will be doing a surgery soon and I do not wish to corner him. Just give him a chance and
some time to consider." After saying that, he took out his laptop and worked on it.
But when Jack heard him, he was shocked.
When Alistair Mu saw that he wasn't driving, he raised his head and saw Jack's perturbed expression.
The man raised an eyebrow and asked, "Why are you making that face?"
Jack hurriedly looked back to the road and said, "No, it's nothing…"
"Speak!" Alistair Mu said sternly.
Jack swallowed a gulp and hesitated for a while, "Actually it's nothing. I simply noticed that ever since
you know Miss Xia, you are getting more and more humane…"
Alistair Mu would never act like this in the past. As long as it was for his best interest, he would do C0pyright © 2024 Nôv)(elDrama.Org.
anything and showed no mercy. But now, he was offering grace and a second chance. The man was
completely different!
Humane???
When Alistair Mu heard that, he glared at Jack furiously.
"No no, not humane, but more and more like… like…" Jack couldn't come up with a different word and
he just want to cry. Honestly speaking, that was the most suitable word…
Alistair Mu simply fumed, "Start driving!"
Jack nodded hurriedly and started the car.
Alistair Mu tilted his head and looked outside the window. What the assistant said was true. After
knowing Annabelle Xia, he himself had noticed a lot of changes.
However, this is truly quite the problematic situation… How should he handle it?
How should he tell Annabelle Xia?
The man's eyes narrowed and his gaze was of helplessness…
On the other side, another coincidence happened.
Covi accompanied Annabelle Xia to do her checkup. Right after they were done, they saw Lee Yi
accidentally.
It was nothing much but Annabelle Xia suddenly recalled that she asked for Lee Yi in the company. She
remembered that the man was nervous but he said nothing.
And now, the man showed up in the hospital…
Annabelle Xia didn't know if Jack had told Alistair Mu about that.
But when he saw how nervous Lee Yi was and the way he looked around, Annabelle Xia was assured
that something must have happened.
"The doctor said he is healthy and I just couldn't wait to see him after a few more months!" Covi co said
as she walked beside Annabelle Xia. Whenever she looked at Annabelle Xia's bulging stomach, she
was just excited.
But Annabelle Xia was just fixing her eyes on another direction…
When Covi saw that Annabelle Xia wasn't responding, she frowned and nudged her gently, "What's
gotten into you?"
Annabelle Xia came back into her senses and looked at Covi, "Look, isn't that Lee Yi?"
Covi looked towards the direction she pointed and she saw Lee Yi checking at the counter, "Yeah, ever
since that day, he resigned and never go to the company again. What is he doing here?"
Covi was curious as well.
Annabelle Xia pondered for a while and suggested that they go check it out.
Covi nodded and the two women went forward.
Lee Yi walked inside a ward and the two women and followed him. The door was half closed and they
could see what happened inside.
"Son, you must stay strong. You will be fine after this heart transplant surgery…"
"Don't worry, daddy will not let anything happen to you!" Lee Yi looked at a young boy lying in the bed
and he caressed his face carefully. The man's eyes were red and he seemed to be in anguish.
Probably it was due to Annabelle Xia's pregnancy, she somehow begun to understand a parent's love
and she was moved. When she saw the fatherly love of Lee Yi, she just couldn't express what she felt.
Covi was surprised, "His son has a heart complication?"
At that time, Lee Yi's phone rang. He took out his phone from his pocket but the moment he saw the
number, it was noticeable that his eyebrows furrowed deeply and his jaw tensed up.
Annabelle Xia noticed that and he hurriedly dragged Covi away.
Lee Yi held his phone and walked outside.
After walking out the door, he answered the phone, "Hello, I want to see you now. Yes, right now…"
"Okay!" After saying that, Lee Yi hung up right away.
Covi and Annabelle Xia were hiding behind a corner. When they saw Lee Yi's expression, Annabelle
Xia frowned. She had an intuition that Lee Yi's phone call wasn't that simple!
Not only that, it was related to the recent happening in the company.
It was a strong hunch!
At that time, Annabelle Xia turned her head over and looked at Covi, "Covi, why not you go back first? I
have something to do!"
"Will you be fine alone?" Covi asked.
Annabelle Xia nodded, "Don't worry, I will be fine!"
"But president Mu said…"
"Don't worry, I will talk to him!" After saying that, Annabelle Xia gave her a reassuring smile and walked
away.
Covi still wanted to say something but Annabelle Xia had already left…
The woman walked so fast while being pregnant… Covi couldn't help but shook her head.
After Annabelle Xia walked out, Lee Yi called for a cab and left. Annabelle Xia hurriedly got into another
cab and followed after him.
"Sir, please don't get too close but make sure you don't loose him!" Annabelle Xia said.
The cab driver looked at Annabelle Xia through the rearview mirror and said nothing. The man drove
steadily, following behind Lee Yi's cab.
They drove about twenty minutes and came to a stop.
"Miss, they stopped!"
Annabelle Xia nodded. She paid the fare and got down the car.
At that time, Lee Yi was walking in front. The man kept looking around as he walked on the street.
When Lee Yi walked to a quieter part of the street, he slowed down his steps. There was a man waiting
for him.
Annabelle Xia hurriedly searched for a place to hide herself. The woman fixed her eyes on Lee Yi's
back. But as the man spoke and approached another man, Annabelle Xia's heart was lifted up.
As the man slowly turned over, Annabelle Xia was stunned.
Director Lee…
It was him!
The woman continued to spy on them and she was tensed.
Lee Yi walked over and director Lee looked at him, "Why are you looking for me so desperately?"
Lee Yi seemed hesitant. In just two short days, he seemed to have aged tremendously. The man
looked completely different when he was dressing smart in the office.
"Alistair Mu looked for me today…"
Director Lee was stunned and he hadn't expected that. However, the man seemed quite calm, "So
what?"
"He got someone to follow us and took pictures of us. If he were to find out that I was the one that did
it, I will be getting into jail!" Lee Yi panicked.
"Even so, it is just impossible for him to have evidence!"
"But…"
"Come down. Even if he gets someone to follow us, that can prove nothing except the fact that we met.
He has no evidence to prove that you did anything!" Director Lee was much more composed than Lee
Yi. The man was in his forties and his face looked more menacing than few months ago.
Ever since Alistair Mu chased him out of Yun Rui, he had been trying everything to avenge himself. The
man finally got his chance.
"But even so, he will definitely find out about it one day!" Lee Yi was nervous and fearful. If it wasn't for
the sake of his son, he definitely wouldn't do it.
When director Lee heard him, he glared at him furiously, "Calm down! Let me tell you, he will never be
able to get evidence on us. There is no CCTV footage and witness. What do you think he could get? As
long as you don't admit it, he will never be able to find out about that!"
Lee Yi looked at him hesitantly and unconfidently.
Director Lee approached him slowly and grabbed his shoulders, "Just think about your son. He will be
doing the surgery soon and you still need to accompany him after that. Therefore, make sure you seal
your lips about this. You must not say anything!!" Director Lee enunciated.
The moment Lee Yi heard that about his son, he gained courage. He looked at director Lee and
nodded, "Okay, I understand!"
When director Lee saw that he agreed, he was restful, "Since Alistair Mu suspected us, we should
avoid meeting for the time being. No, we should completely stop meeting!"
Lee Yi looked at director Lee in perturb, "Why are you doing that?"
"Why?" When director Lee heard that, he sneered menacingly, "Alistair Mu was the one that started
everything!"
As he said that, director Lee walked away slowly. As the two of them walked, they continued to chit
chat.
"He was the one that founded Yun Rui. But without me, it is impossible for him to do that!"
"When he needed us, everything was fine. The moment he didn't need me, he heartlessly kicked me
out from the company. This kind of merciless and heartless person deserves to lose everything!"
Lee Yi looked at director Lee. The man had heard about their previous feud. But he hadn't expected
director Lee to go to such extreme just to exact his revenge.
"I heard that the two of you were going at it quite fiercely during the previous board meeting!"
"He was dead! How can they blame me for choosing a new president? Do they really want to let a
clueless woman handle the company?" Director Lee said furiously. The man could vividly remember
what happened in the previous board meeting, "I did that for the company's best interest. I hadn't
expected him to kick me out for a woman. Not only that, he bought in all of my shares. I have sacrificed
and contributed to the company for so many years. How could he simply kick me aside? What did he
see me for? Since he was the one that showed no mercy, why should I go easy on him? With that kind
of leader, the company would come to ruin sooner or later!" Director Lee enunciated. His tone was filled
with his hatred towards Alistair Mu.
When Annabelle Xia listened from the side, she understood what happened.
After saying that, director Lee looked at Lee Yi, "Now he will finally taste the fruit of his mistake. Yun
Rui will fall and never get back up. You don't have to worry!"
Lee Yi nodded.
"Okay, you should leave. Let's not meet again!"
Lee Yi nodded again.
When Annabelle Xia saw that they wanted to leave, she sneaked away quietly. All of a sudden, her
phone rang.
Director Lee looked towards her direction and frowned, "Who's over there?!"
