Chapter 1395: Chapter 1414: Special Conscription

"Which superior gave this order? They’ve sure got some nerve. What kind of riff-raff do they think I, Huo Beijiang, am protecting?"

"Um..." Lu Jin scratched his head, both frustrated and at a loss for what to say.

Given the boss’s rank and status, indeed, average superiors wouldn’t have the authority to command him. It’s likely they didn’t anticipate the task would end up in the boss’s hands when they issued the order.

"Then just hand it over to Captain Lei." Lu Jin didn’t like the idea of the boss personally protecting Ding Jiaqi either because Ding Jiaqi didn’t deserve it.

"Even Lei Hao isn’t obligated to her," Huo Beijiang finally spoke a fair word for Lei Hao, who would probably be moved to tears if he heard it.

"Haha... You’re absolutely right, boss." Lu Jin nodded in complete agreement.

"Is the task completed?" Leng Peixi asked Feng Sha, who had just returned looking harried: "Did you leave any loose ends this time? Because of last time, my freedom is now restricted, so don’t cause any more trouble for me."

Feng Sha immediately assured her with respect, "Absolutely not, please rest assured."

"That’s good to hear." Leng Peixi nodded in satisfaction, and as her words ended, a cryptic smile crossed her face.

Noticing this, Feng Sha probed, "Miss, have you encountered something delightful?"

"The top brain surgery expert from M country is now in my hands," Leng Peixi said with a satisfied smile.

She was now very much looking forward to seeing how Huo Beijiang would choose when he found out—whether he would stubbornly fight her to the end or bow down to her for the sake of a woman.

Her son turned out to be a hopeless romantic, which was truly laughable.

Feng Sha’s eyes lit up, "Can we go back now?" He was very uncomfortable staying here, feeling constrained at every turn.

"Not just yet," Leng Peixi shook her head, then suddenly asked, "By the way, how’s Leng Ran’s Christmas banquet coming along? Who’s been invited?"

"Several elders from the Leng Family, venerable members, and over a dozen outstanding juniors from the various branches are within the scope of invitation. In addition, there are the responsible parties from Dark Street and various others engaged in business dealings," Feng Sha reported.

Leng Peixi’s mouth twisted sardonically, "Didn’t she used to look down on us? Now, she even knows how to actively seek connections."

Leng Ran’s invitation list revealed her ambition; having ambition is good, but it’s problematic if it’s too large to satisfy.

Feng Sha smiled knowingly, "But isn’t her ambition precisely what you appreciate about her?"

"That is true."

"By the way! Jiang Nanfei has also been invited." Feng Sha reminded, "Could she be planning something?"

Previously, Leng Ran had Jiang Zhuanzhuan and Leng Tianqi as checks on her power, but now that Jiang Zhuanzhuan was in, Leng Ran would undoubtedly dominate quietly.

"She definitely plans to do something," Leng Peixi cautioned, "Remember, Feng Sha, whatever you suspect might happen will indeed happen."

Feng Sha turned noticeably serious, the usual unserious expression replaced by solemnity. Although he harbored his own little schemes, he knew to distinguish what was more critical.

Most importantly, he knew that Leng Ran currently didn’t have the capacity to break free from the control of the Miss. If she did harbor such intentions, she should hide them well, at the very least until her wings were fully hardened.

"You’ll also attend the banquet and, by the way, enjoy the drama that unfolds."

"Sure!"
