Chapter 249: Chapter 249 Hearing Your News

Just a simple name, two monosyllabic syllables.

It was enough to turn all the text on the document in front of him into incomprehensible code.

Bo Jingshen put down the pen.

Cheng Yan furrowed his brows—a rare occurrence for him, as he usually showed little fluctuation in his expressions, "Can’t you wait until he’s done with the official business before bringing this up?"

He had planned on mentioning seeing Su Lu in Beijing, but he wanted to wait until Bo Jingshen had finished signing documents and reviewing what needed to be reviewed.

Yan Sui, however, bluntly brought it up, and this was indeed...

"You really screw things up," Cheng Yan said.

Yan Sui, "..." How did it come to insults? Cheng Yan, with such a temperament, actually swore?

"Then what?" Bo Jingshen’s voice rang out, still calm.

But his voice, which was a bit husky to begin with, seemed even huskier.

"What then? There’s no what then..." Yan Sui thought. Was he being too presumptuous? Mainly because he saw how Bo Jingshen, even in such circumstances, maintained a calm demeanor.

Yet in that instant, just because of a name, his demeanor changed completely.

In his eyes, there were clearly many indescribable emotions.

Yan Sui realized he might have stepped out of line, so he didn’t continue the casual talk, waving his hand and saying, "Uh... You should focus on your work first."

But Bo Jingshen had already lost interest, only glancing through a few less important documents and signing them. He pushed the rest back to Cheng Yan, "We’ll talk about the rest when I get out, it’s not long now."

"Speaking of which, it’s the day after tomorrow," Lawyer Liang came over and said with a smile, "Congratulations President Bo, you’re finally seeing the end of this. These days must have been really tough for you."

Bo Jingshen neither agreed nor disagreed with Lawyer Liang’s comment.

Many things are not tough when you’re willing to endure them.

"Since that’s the case..." Seeing that Bo Jingshen was no longer in the mood to work properly today, Cheng Yan also gathered and packed up the documents and then said, "I’ll talk about something else then. I usually don’t like dealing with or talking about trivial matters, but Jiang Li insisted I tell you."

Bo Jingshen furrowed his brows slightly, "What is it?"

"I was on a business trip to Beijing recently. About the amusement park project you were interested in, Beijing is willing to support it. My visit was mainly to discuss when the land could be approved," Cheng Yan said.

"Get to the point," Bo Jingshen said.

Honestly, that was already quite significant. If this project went through, it would be of great importance.

But Bo Jingshen felt that wasn’t the focus because he knew Cheng Yan well enough to tell how he spoke.

"Oh," Cheng Yan responded, then got straight to the point with something very critical, very shocking to Bo Jingshen, "The driver rear-ended a car on the roundabout of that famously convoluted interchange."

Cheng Yan paused, "Su Lu’s car."

Bang!

Bo Jingshen slammed the table and stood up.

The correction officer, who had been sitting in the corner and not hurrying them as Lawyer Liang had arranged, was giving them a bit more time, but still adhered to his duties.

Hearing Bo Jingshen’s actions and response, he immediately stood up and spoke sternly, "3795! What are you doing? Sit down! Calm down!"

Bo Jingshen then sat down.

Lawyer Liang was taken aback. He had always managed Bo Jingshen’s case, so he had been following it all along.

This was a man who had made it big in business, a dragon among men, temporarily trapped. He had never seen him so agitated; he had always faced everything calmly, and dealt with it quietly.

This was the first time he saw President Bo so unsettled, so disturbed.

Bo Jingshen frowned and stared intensely at Cheng Yan, "What did you say? Is she... is she alright?"

"There’s no harm. A tail light was smashed, and the rear bumper was damaged. My driver took full responsibility and has paid for everything," Cheng Yan responded.

Cheng Yan’s tone was still business-like, unaffected by Bo Jingshen’s agitated emotions.

Yan Sui felt like Cheng Yan was truly a work machine. It seemed as if Cheng Yan had thrown a stone into calm waters. Couldn’t he see that the boss was extremely anxious here? Yet, Cheng Yan remained utterly calm.

"Jiang Li asked me to tell you about this," Cheng Yan said. "I thought if I told you, you’d be even more troubled. It might be better to wait until you get out the day after tomorrow. But he insisted, so I told you."

Bo Jingshen’s brows tightened deeply.

As expected, Cheng Yan had guessed right, Bo Jingshen was indeed unsettled.

And it was imaginable that even though he would be out the day after tomorrow, he probably wouldn’t sleep well these next two days.

Jiang Li thought there hadn’t been any news of Su Lu for years, at least he hadn’t heard anything, so Jiang Li thought it was important to tell Bo Jingshen since Cheng Yan had seen Su Lu in Beijing.

Jiang Li was always a bit simple-minded and straightforward.

Though Cheng Yan might seem bureaucratic and stoic, he was not so simple-minded. For instance, he couldn’t be sure but guessed that Bo Jingshen might not be entirely without news of Su Lu.

Bo Jingshen might have known where Su Lu was these years, and how she was doing.

Telling him would only add to his worries.

But since Jiang Li insisted, why not say it? Just as expected, right?

Look at Bo Jingshen’s deeply furrowed brows now.

It was Yan Sui who kindly comforted him, "Hey, don’t worry. Look at the timeline, Cheng Yan hit Su Lu’s car back then in Beijing. Right?"

Bo Jingshen looked towards Yan Sui.

Yan Sui continued, "But I saw Su Lu at the airport yesterday. She looked great, even prettier than a few years ago! There weren’t any signs of injury or being in a bad state. What’s there to worry about? She’s fine. Plus, there were quite a few people around her, probably her friends...? Anyway, she seemed to be in a good mood and in fine condition. Clearly, that bump from Cheng Yan’s driver didn’t cause any harm."

Bo Jingshen didn’t respond, and the correction officer, seeing how quiet things were, glanced at Lawyer Liang.

Lawyer Liang felt a bit at a loss, what was this about? If they had finished talking, then they shouldn’t waste more time here...

Lawyer Liang was just about to speak to break the silence.

Before he could say anything, he heard Bo Jingshen’s low, hoarse, and deep voice, as if asking them, but also asking himself, "Why did she come, what is she here for..."
