The CEO's Woman Chapter 343 Lame

Chapter 343 Lame

Deafening silence covered Old Man w.a.n.g's study when Jiang Yue finished her story.

"So... it is Shen Rong? Why did you even let her go? You have already known about the dangers ahead of time!" w.a.n.g Minghua blurted out.

Jiang Yue decided not to tell them everything and stick to the facts that had happened lately: like the Secretary of Defense taking an interest in her projects.

After everything she had realized last night, she decided to hide some things from them, to keep them safe. Moreover, Jiang Yue had also decided to keep to herself the information that was still unclear. Of course, that included her true father's ident.i.ty and the possibility that he was the Prime Minister.

"I have released a piece of news in advance about her departure to her home country. Although Shen Rong is not really that well known, some media outlets still published the story, because she is a very important individual in my company." Jiang Yue explained. "She even accepted an interview at the airport. Although it was planned beforehand, it… still… created some exposure for her."

"But how could you do it, Little Yui? If that Queen wants to stop you from going there because it might threaten her family business, then… you should have known that they will still harm Shen Rong no matter what!!!"

"I suggest you lower down your voice," Fu Jin blocked w.a.n.g Minghua's glare towards Jiang Yue, "This is not her fault at all."

"Alright... Boys, calm down." w.a.n.g Huo interrupted, prompting both Fu Jin and w.a.n.g Minghua to take a step back.

"We need to make a plan to get her out of the country as soon as possible," he added.

Jiang Yue bit her lips while looking at everyone in the room: w.a.n.g Minghua's reaction was very unexpected for her. However, she couldn't blame anyone in this room for questioning her judgment about the whole situation. After all, she did not tell them everything. She just told them that the Queen did not want her to go to M Country, because she had her own Tech Company that was managed by her family members.

"If the King really wants you to stay, then he will surely try to capture Shen Rong." Old Man w.a.n.g said. "Then, the Queen will try and kill her, to warn you and not let the King use her to lure you there... Is that what you are saying?" He asked to verify his guess.

"Yes, Grandfather." She nodded.

"You haven't told us the reason you don't want to open a branch in M Country?" w.a.n.g Huo asked. "M Country has a highly developed military technology. Why you don't want to collaborate with them? It will only bring endless profits to you and the company."

"Moral reasons." She instantly replied. "I don't wanna come in between two warring families. I don't like chaos, Uncle. I am too lazy to deal with schemes."

That lame reason was the only thing that Jiang Yue could come up with to lie to her family. Nevertheless, it was partly true. She indeed wanted to avoid schemes and chaos.

In response, both Old Man w.a.n.g and w.a.n.g Huo nodded.

"Alright, that makes sense. It is indeed a very chaotic country." w.a.n.g Huo said. "I agree with your choice. Especially now, when their King has been very sick lately."

"Sick?" Jiang Yue's interest was instantly piqued, the moment she heard w.a.n.g Huo's words.

"I heard it from my friends, who sell diamonds on the black market. The King has been very elusive lately and he is almost always unable to attend cabinet meetings. He always uses his health as an excuse."

"Interesting..." she murmured as she thought back of Gideon's words last night. Was it possible that he was really dying?

"Anyway... What we can do now, is use Fu Jin's subordinates to get Shen Rong and her family out of the country as soon as possible." Old Man w.a.n.g said.

"I want to go there." w.a.n.g Minghua's words made Jiang Yue raise an eyebrow.

"Why would you go?"

"What if something happens to her?" He asked.

"What if something happens to both of you?" w.a.n.g Huo's voice was serious. "Shen Rong is one thing, but you, joining the ruckus is another. What do you think will happen if both of you get detained because of something unexpected? Huh? Shen Rong is enough to make us agitated. What do you think we will feel if something happens to you too?"

w.a.n.g Huo's words seemed to have woken up w.a.n.g Minghua, as he slumped into his seat in defeat.

Seeing that, an incomprehensible spark suddenly flashed in Jiang Yue's eyes. This was the first time she saw her cousin like that. What an interesting reaction...

"So, do you have a plan?" w.a.n.g Huo's question was directed to Fu Jin, as he knew that the latter's men were the one in charge of this rescue operation.

"Yes, we do," he said before he started talking about the plan that he and Jiang Yue came up with last night.

Jiang Yue could only hope that this plan would work out for everyone.
