Chapter 475
However, Leng Chenmo was not sure whether Tang Zhou had encountered any trouble at this moment.
Returning to the past, the first thing he did was to pull out his cell phone, dial Tang Zhou’s number; every second was painful before the call was answered. He was fearful that the standard shutdown notice, “Hello, the user you dialed has powered off,” would resound from his phone.
“Beep, beep….”
“Hello?” From the phone came Tang Zhou’s voice, which sounded like heavenly music to his ears.
Leng Chenmo’s eyes were moist for a moment. Even this strong, restrained man was moved by Tang Zhou’s one spoken word, leaving him momentarily choked up and unable to speak.
Tang Zhou, who was driving, cursed when he heard no response, “Are you sick, calling without saying anything, what are you trying to do?”
“… Where are you?” Leng Chenmo forced himself to stay calm.noveldrama
“Driving to grab some food. Have you finished handling the files in my office? I’m telling you, my little errand boy, you’re not allowed to clock off until they’re done, got it? Otherwise, I would have no problem having you sleep under a bridge. Right now, I’m the only one willing to provide you with a job. Be grateful.”
Tang Zhou was justifying his laziness. Ever since he got his errand boy, his leisure time had increased significantly. He could delegate any tasks to him, allowing Tang Zhou to take joy rides every day, life couldn’t be more pleasant for him.
“Immediately return to the racing club and stay in crowded areas, I am coming to find you.”
With only an hour to spare, Leng Chenmo didn’t dare waste any time. He grabbed his car keys, stood up, and while holding his phone, he quickly stride out of his office.
“Why?” How could Tang Zhou possibly listen to Leng Chenmo?
“I just received news that someone wants to assassinate you. Be obedient.” Leng Chenmo, with his quiet and restrained voice, was almost pleading.
“Who wants to assassinate me?”
Before Tang Zhou could finish his sentence, his racing car suddenly skidded. Without thinking, he dropped his phone, gripped the steering wheel with one hand, braced himself against the handbrake with the other, and swore, “Damn it!”
Leng Chenmo had just left his office when he heard Tang Zhou swear on the phone. His voice took on a grave tone instantly, “What’s wrong, Tang Zhou? Tang Zhou? Tang Zhou?”
He said ‘Tang Zhou’ three times, each time with a lower and more serious tone than the time before. The last time, it was a shout.
Outside the President’s office, in the secretarial area, all the secretaries and assistants looked up in surprise. They watched Leng Chenmo, usually calm even when facing the toughest situations, sprint towards the elevator.
What had happened?
After a few quick maneuvers, Tang Zhou finally managed to stop the out-of-control car. He pushed the car door open brusquely, grumbled, “Why is my luck so bad?”
Getting ready to return to the car to look for his phone and call Leng Chenmo to pick him up, before he could climb back in, he heard the humming sound of motorcycles. Frowning, he turned towards the source of the noise and saw Leng Weixuan waving a baseball bat leading a gang of bikers towards him, surrounding him.
Damn, someone really was plotting against him!
Tang Zhou squinted at Leng Weixuan who had dismounted from his motorcycle, “Leng Weixuan, have you lost your mind? Daring to confront me with this gang, wasn’t the lesson from last time enough?”
Leng Weixuan, waving his baseball bat in an arrogant manner, replied, “Tang Zhou, I told you to wait for this. I swore to avenge the humiliation of that day. If I don’t, then I’m not Leng Weixuan.”
