  She took out the phone and found the signal was very weak because of the rain. 

  “It’s raining. We are leaving for Gaoye Town now. My eyelid keeps twitching, so I think something bad might happen.” 

  Su Qingsang deleted the message after she edited it. What was wrong with her? Why would she want to send such a message to Huo Jinyao? 

  Even if he had been there with her, she would still have to go to the town. It didn’t matter what he had to say about it. 

  “We are going to Gaoye Town now and it will be some time before we settle down. I’ll contact you when I get there.” 

  A few minutes later she received Huo Jinyao’s reply: “My wife works so hard. I’m sending you a kiss. Take care of yourself and don’t get too tired.” 

  Looking at the kissing emoji that Huo Jinyao sent, Su Qingsang’s uneasiness dissipated. 

  “I know. You too.” She texted back four words. She knew the tone was not that intimate, but it was the best she could do. 

  “Thank you for caring about me, sweetheart. Miss me.” 

  Looking at last words, Su Qingsang could almost imagine Huo Jinyao’s expression. She laughed lightly. Looking out the window, she could not restrain a smile. 

  Did she miss him? Yeah, she did. Still, she wouldn’t tell him. 

  The road to Gaoye Town was basically a mountain road. As the rain got heavier and heavier, all the people in the car looked out at the rain. They were in no mood to chat. 

  They just hoped they got smoothly to theit destination. The driver suddenly braked sharply in the middle of the road. Luckily, Su Qingsang had fastened her seat belt. If she hadn’t, she might have flown out. 

  “Gosh, there seems to be a landslide ahead.” The driver, with a grave expression, looked out the front glass, which had been being washed by the rain. 

  They had two cars. From the second, Director Li poked out his head and asked, “Can we get past there?” 

  “I’ll try.” The driver quickly stepped on the accelerator with a grave face. 

  Su Qingsang wanted to stop him but it was too late. The landslide was severe and big rocks were constantly rolling down. 

  Before the driver could rush past, several large rocks rolled down. Their car stopped dead in the middle of the road. 

  The car following them also stopped. There were still rocks rolling down. The driver steered the car to a large tree on the side of the road to hold it steady and keep it from sliding down the hill. 

  Boulders and mud were still falling. Ye Shengge took out her phone and tried to call the police. Before she could dial the number, however, a large rock fell on the car and it crashed into a tree, sliding a long way down the slope. 

  Su Qingsang’s mobile phone flew out and the car slid down a lot again before she could pick her phone up. 

  “Ah!” 

  Several nurses in the car had already started screaming. 

  “Calm down. Calm down.” Director Li had never experienced such a thing before either. He just wanted them to calm down. 

  The car began to slide down again. Su Qingsang held the handle of the front seat tightly. Watching the car continue to slide, her heart sank. 

  Another big rock fell and the car following theirs slid down even deeper. There were even signs that they might flip over. 

  Now Su Qingsang could not stay calm, either. Looking at her mobile phone that had been thrown out of her reach, she tried to pick it up. 

  At that moment, the car crashed down the hill. 

  Tianyu Corporation, Rong City. 

  Sitting in the conference room, Huo Jinyao glanced at Huo Yifan and Huo Yiyang sitting across from him. He picked up the documents from the table in front of him. 

  “Huo Yifan, the contract to work with Lin’s Enterprise has been ready to be signed since last month. I want to know why the contract has not been signed yet.”


  Chapter 161: Don’t You Think You’re The One Who Should Be Questioned?

  Huo Yifan and Huo Yiyang both held positions in Tianyu. One was the manager of the business department while the other was the manager of marketing. 

  “Director Huo, I think that you can’t entirely blame me for this matter.” 

  Huo Yifan was a man who kept private matters away from work-related ones in the office. Under normal circumstances, he would usually address Huo Jinyao by his name. 

  “What do you mean?” 

  “Nothing.” Huo Yifan gave a fleeting smile. “The entire Rong City knows about your exceptional capabilities, Director Huo. You’ve almost wrapped this case up. If I accept it and continue the negotiations, won’t I be taking away your credit?” 

  Huo Jinyao studied Huo Yifan’s face, feeling more like giving him a punch with every second. 

  “Director Huo, don’t get angry. Don’t you think it makes sense? As a younger brother, I shouldn’t be taking away all your credit, right?” 

  “So you think that you can just sit and do nothing, and allow this case, which can already be scheduled to commence, to remain in a suspended state?” 

  Huo Jinyao’s voice sounded icy. His fingers drummed against the surface of the table in a subconscious manner, foreshadowing wrath that would soon come. 

  “How so? Aren’t you back already? You can continue it. Furthermore, I’ve already consulted the chairman.” 

  Tianyu’s current chairman was Huo Jinyao’s father, Huo Mingguang. 

  “Are you using the chairman to intimidate me?” 

  “I wouldn’t dare. I’m just telling you the facts.” 

  Huo Yifan retained his arrogant smirk. Huo Jinyao nodded. “Good. Very well. Since Manager Huo thinks that a consultation is required for such a task, I think that you’re no longer interested in keeping your position. Perhaps you shouldn’t even stay in the business department. You shall be in logistics now.” 

  “Huo Jinyao.” Huo Yifan stood up. “What’s the meaning of this?” 

  “Nothing much.” Huo Jinyao couldn’t care less about the shift in his expression. “This company only belongs to whoever is capable of running it. If the company couldn’t perform adequately just because I was gone for a few days, why should I keep you?” 

  The atmosphere in the meeting room was in an extremely ominous state. Huo Jinyao stood up without a care. 

  “Today I will go to Lin Enterprise personally and get the agreement settled. However, this is the last time. I hope that you two can do what you’re supposed to do whenever I’m not around and keep your own opinions in check instead of facing me with such irresponsibility.” 

  Huo Yifan glared at Huo Jinyao, darkness shrouding his gaze. Huo Jinyao’s eyes swept across the entire meeting room. 

  “As for Manager Huo’s arrangement — that takes effect immediately.” 

  Huo Yifan took half a step forward, thinking to negotiate with Huo Jinyao. 

  Huo Yiyang grabbed his hand from behind, shaking his head gently as he looked at him. 

  Huo Yifan’s footsteps came to a stop, his eyes dark and ominous as his gaze pierced Huo Jinyao’s back. ……

  Meanwhile, the vehicle Su Qingsang and the rest were traveling in continued to plunge downwards. Its middle collided twice with the car behind them. 

  The force of being hit from the back repeatedly, then plunging downwards, caused Su Qingsang to hit her head against the front seat. She blacked out momentarily. 

  By the time she came around, she realized that their vehicle was stuck in the middle of the hill, hanging between a few huge trees. 

  Her body was strapped securely with the seatbelt. She was feeling extremely faint and her head hurt a little. 

  She tried hard to lift her head to analyze the situation and her surroundings. Only then did she find that besides her, some of the other medical personnel were already awake, but nobody dared to move. 

  The driver’s body was draped across his seat. He had hit his head against the glass in front of him. His face was bloodied and he was unconscious. 

  Director Li, Deputy Director Chen and a few nurses seated in front were already awake, but they didn’t dare to move at all. 

  The vehicle was now entirely supported by a few large trees, inclined forty degrees downwards. 

  If they made any movement, they would fall towards the head of the car.
