When Xu Ling returned to the company, the sun was shining brightly above her head. She got out of the police car and raised her hand to block the pouring light above her head. She smiled at the police officer who had sent her back. “It’s been hard on you. Do you want to go up and have a seat? 1’11 make you a cup of tea.”

“No need.” The young police officer smiled shyly. Seeing that she was about to leave, he could not help but remind her, “Our captain said that President Jing would have to handle the rest of the matters on his own. However, he will send out a message to help clarify the truth.”

“Alright, I ’will tell President Jing the truth.” Xu Ling bowed to him gratefully again before bidding him farewell and returning to the office.

At the front desk, many people had already noticed the commotion outside the door. Now that they saw that she had really returned safely, they heaved a sigh of relief and asked curiously, “Sister Ling, why did you come back with the police? Could it be that you’re implicated in Miss He’s matter?”

Xu Ling could easily guess what the people outside were saying about He Miao. She put away the standard smile on her face and warned them expressionlessly, “Don’t ask about the higher-ups’ affairs. It’s fine if you ask me, but if President Jing hears about it, you might have to go back to the job market and polish your resume.”

The few of them were frightened by her cold expression and quickly lowered their heads to apologize. “We’re sorry, Sister Ling. We shouldn’t have asked about it.”

“Yes.” Xu Ling did not have time to waste on teaching these people a lesson. On the way back, she asked the police about the current situation in the outside world. She knew that He Miao must have kept the video from the public because of her.

Every minute she returned late, He Miao would scold her for another minute because she cared about her.

Thinking of this, Xu Ling felt a little comforted. She was lucky to have a boss who knew how to take care of her subordinates.

She took the elevator to the top floor. Chen Zhao had been waiting outside the office for a long time. He went up to her excitedly when he saw her. “Xu Ling, you’re finally back! Are you hurt anywhere?”

“No, I’m not.” Other than a layer of dust on her body, Xu Ling did not suffer any injuries. Fortunately, it was Ren Wei who kidnapped her. Otherwise, if it was Ren Zhong, she would not have returned in one piece so easily.

Hearing her answer, Chen Zhao was relieved. He led her to the office door with a smile. “Go in. President Jing and Miss He are waiting for you inside!”

At that moment, in the office, He Miao heard the commotion outside. She walked out from behind her desk and came over happily.

When Xu Ling saw her, her eyes turned red and her nose started to sting. “Boss, I almost thought I wouldn’t be able to come back alive to see you!”

Her tone was very pitiful, and it did not look like she was still angry and lecturing the front desk just now.

He Miao thought that she had suffered, so she quickly gave her a hug. Then, she pulled her over and examined her from head to toe. After confirming that there were no wounds, she heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s good that you’re fine. Don’t worry, I’ll definitely get to the bottom of this and give you an explanation. 1 won’t let your efforts go to waste.”

“Did you find the video?” For some reason, Xu Ling felt that she and He Miao had an unspeakable tacit understanding to a certain extent.

As expected, He Miao nodded after she asked, “I found it. Fortunately, you’re smart. Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been able to get any solid evidence to fight back.”

Xu Ling smiled in satisfaction and then looked at President Jing carefully. “What do you plan to do next?”

“It’s already been arranged.” He Miao smiled and pulled her to the sofa to sit.

While they were waiting for Xu Ling to return, He Miao and Jing Yan had not been idle. The two of them had organized all the evidence that their subordinates had gathered and were prepared to hand it over to different people to publish. Now, everything was ready, and they could strike back at any time.

Xu Ling finally relaxed. She gratefully accepted the cup of hot tea Chen Zhao handed her and smiled embarrassed. “There’s one more thing 1 need to trouble you with, boss.”

“Go ahead,” He Miao looked at her and said readily.

Xu Ling clenched the teacup in her hand shyly. “It’s just that I haven’t had a good sleep in a long time. I’ve been tied to a chair all this time and now my back is aching. Can you give me a day off? I’ll definitely come to work on time tomorrow! We won’t delay the renovation!”

He Miao looked at her disapprovingly and shook his head helplessly. “Am I such an inhumane boss in your eyes? You can rest for a few days if you want, but you still have to go to the hospital before you go home to sleep. 1’11 arrange a through health examination for you. Although you don’t look injured, you can’t be careless. You can go home and rest after the examination.”

“It’s true!” Xu Ling was so touched that she was about to cry.

She had been working for Jing Yan for a long time, but she had never taken a day off on a working day. She did not even dare to ask for leave when she was feeling unwell, for fear that she would fall behind and the secretaries would no longer need her..
