Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shan Yue let Cheng Yan sit on a chair, then sat at her desk. “To put it bluntly, we all have our own goals. If I don’t save your parents, you won’t be able to really recognize Lang Nan’s true colors.”
“President Shan, don’t worry. Since things have come to this, I’ll help you no matter what.” Cheng Yan’s words were very firm. “All these years, I’ve also helped Lang Nan do many shameful things. No matter when you need me, I’ll definitely testify in court to all of Lang Nan’s crimes.”
“Have you really thought it through? You have to know that you helped Lang Nan do these things. Although he’s the mastermind, you’re the direct perpetrator.”
Shan Yue confirmed what Cheng Yan had said. “Once Lang Nan’s crimes are established, you will definitely not be able to escape punishment. Although you can reduce your sentence by providing evidence as a witness, you will definitely have to go to jail.”
Although Cheng Yan was already fully prepared, she still fell into deep thought when Shan Yue said these words. How could she not know what Shan Yue was saying? However, Cheng Yan knew very well that she was the only direct witness.
At this moment, her parents’ words kept echoing in her mind.
“Cheng Yan, Mom and Dad are very ordinary people. It’s our blessing that you can be as successful as you are now. But you have to remember one thing. No matter if you’re rich or poor in the future, you can’t forget your original intentions.”
Only then did Cheng Yan realize that in the past few years, she had completely gone against her parents’ fundamental expectations of her. But now, she could not continue to degenerate like this.
“President Shan, I’ve already thought about it. Once the two elders know about my current actions, I’ll disappoint them.”
Cheng Yan nodded firmly. “Since they’re out of danger, I don’t have anything to worry about. In order to take down Lang Nan, I’m willing to accept such a price.”
“I’m relieved to hear that.” Shan Yue stood up and patted Cheng Yan’s shoulder. “As for your parents, if you believe me, you can let them stay here. 1’11 give them the best care, but of course, you can also pick them up at dawn. No matter what choice you make, it’s your own right.”
“I’d better pick them up. If we let the two of them stay here forever, it will affect the operations of your company.” Cheng Yan paused for two seconds and thought for a moment. “Besides, they haven’t experienced such a life before. A day or two is fine. If they do this every day, they’ll be unaccustomed to it sooner or later.”
“No problem.”
Unlike Lang Nan, Shan Yue did not show any signs of difficulty. She only nodded. “I’ll get the chauffeur to send you away at dawn.”
After solving the problem of the accommodations of Cheng Yan’s parents, Cheng Yan consciously closed the office door. Then, she told Shan Yue everything she had done for Lang Nan all these years.
Including how he had gotten to his current position as deputy governor step by step, how he had bribed all kinds of officials who worked for him along the way, and the entire process of the pneumonia incident in the Federation’s Central City.
“I really didn’t expect this. It’s already flattering to say that Lang Nan is a wolf in sheep’s clothing. He’s simply a rat’s meat that ruined the entire pot of soup in the Federation City.”
Shan Yue’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “But that doesn’t matter. He doesn’t have much time left. Next, he needs to wait in peace. I’ll devote myself to the development of the antidote. The day the antidote is released will be the day he steps down.”
“Then what do you need me to do?” Cheng Yan asked tentatively, “I still know Lang Nan and Ah Yong’s habits very well. They might play a key role at some point.”
“You don’t have to do anything. I’ll have everything under control from here on out.” A smug smile was already on Shan Yue’s entire face. “What you need to do is protect yourself. I’ll also get my subordinates to protect you in secret. As long as Lang Nan doesn’t seize the opportunity before I develop the antidote, victory won’t be far from us..”
