She Lives without Regret in This Life

Chapter 964: Chapter 1017: Stirring Up Trouble

The two still refused to accept it no matter what, so in the end, Du Xiaosong simply locked them out, refusing to let them in.

”Captain Zhao’s men are something else.”

”Yep!” Meng Ping nodded, not giving it much thought, as the phone on the table rang, and he didn’t need to look to know who was calling.

”Hello, Dad!”

”You little brat, causing me trouble again.”

”Dad, I really didn’t cause trouble this time. I think I’ve discovered something huge,” Meng Ping said slyly.

Meng Xingzhi slapped the table on the other end of the phone, ”Get back here right away and explain everything to me in person.”

”Yes, sir! By the way, where should I go? Home or the Provincial Rescue Center?”

”Provincial Rescue Center.”

Upon hearing this answer, Meng Ping laughed into the phone, his laughter full of schadenfreude.

”What are you laughing about, kid?”

”Laughing because our home isn’t home anymore, isn’t that funny?”

Meng Xingzhi suddenly fell silent, and only his heavy breathing could be heard on the phone.

Du Xiaosong, standing nearby, was anxious; Second Young Master’s mouth was just too careless. Wasn’t he rubbing salt in the President’s wound with those words?

The phone went dead on the other end.

Meng Ping put down the receiver and said to Du Xiaosong, ”Let’s head to the Provincial Rescue Center. Looks like there’s going to be a big event again; there’s just too much excitement lately.”

”Yes!”

The two left together; while Du Xiaosong was locking the door, Meng Ping suddenly asked, ”How’s Four Eyes doing? Has he started working?” Today, Xu Mo had been bailed out, and without even a change of clothes, was directly sent to the magazine office.

If he couldn’t complete the tasks assigned, he’d be thrown back into the Detention Room. Xu Mo indeed did not disappoint; after all, having studied abroad for many years, his moral boundaries were not the same as those domestically, and his views matched my requirements.

Those daring photos, reports on infidelity scandals were seen as terrifying by others, but to him, they were surprisingly thrilling!

Du Xiaosong recalled Xu Mo looking at the materials loaned to him and agreeing without hesitation to produce a rich and exciting report overnight.

Earlier, he had been clamoring for a break, a shower, and a change of clothes. But once he got into work, he forgot everything else.

”He’s still working on the plans, should have a sample magazine ready the day after tomorrow.”

”That’s not good enough; we need to speed it up. Even if no one sleeps, make sure it’s done well for me.”

”Hm! I’ve already sent word down.”

”Good! Let’s go.”

At the Provincial Rescue Center, a meeting was in progress in the dead of night. Many people were there, including Xu Qigang, who should have been in the hospital. He was half-leaning in his chair, his face slightly pale, but his eyes were sharp and bright.

Shen Feihu leaned over, sniffing.

”Shen Feihu, what are you doing? A military dog?” Lu Yuan said irritably.

Shen Feihu ignored him and asked directly, ”Did your wound open up? Why do I smell blood?”

”No,” Xu Qigang shook his head, brushing it off lightly, ”It’s from someone else.”

”That’s good!” Shen Feihu sat down, relieved.

Meng Xingzhi stood with his arms crossed at the head position, his brows furrowed, his expression extremely grave.

In the middle of the night, news from the hospital had everyone’s spirits high, roused from their beds with no hint of sleepiness.

Soon, the reconnoitre scout reported quickly.

”President, the second batch failed.”

No one in the office spoke; a few minutes later, another came to report.

”President, the third batch failed.”
