Mr.CEO’s Ex-wife Escapes Again
Chapter 119 - 119 119 How could she possibly still want to

Chapter 119: Chapter 119 How could she possibly still want to save him? Chapter 119: Chapter 119 How could she possibly still want to save him? Xu Guannan left with his brain completely numb.

It wasn’t his fault—The information he had received was so shocking that he couldn’t fully digest it on the spot.

He left the police station.

Not long after his departure, a military green jeep pulled up in front of the station with a fully-armed squad that came rushing in.

—

Aurora City.

Yin Hehe woke up early in the morning to find that the little one in her arms was much better, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

“Caicai, are you awake? I’m going to the supermarket to buy some bones to make a nutritious soup for Cen Bao.”

She got up, washed up, and went next door to wake up her best friend.

Bone soup indeed provides nutrition, especially for patients recovering from surgery.

“Okay, you go. I’ll take good care of the two kids,” said Caicai promptly.

Only then did Yin Hehe head out the door with a small basket in hand.

“Phew—”

This city was truly cold.

No sooner had Yin Hehe reached the ground floor than a blast of cold wind hit her face, pouring into her neck and making her shiver uncontrollably.

“Taxi!”

She quickly wrapped her coat tighter around herself and rushed to the roadside to hail a taxi.

It was a bit of a distance from here to the supermarket.

Soon, she arrived at the entrance of the largest fresh supermarket in the area.

“What’s going on? Why are there so many people at the supermarket entrance? What are they doing?”

She got out of the car, shocked to see so many people gathered at the supermarket so early in the morning.

The driver shrugged inside the car, “Don’t you know? The food from one country is about to run out.”

“What do you mean?”

Yin Hehe immediately turned back to look at the driver.

“Which country? Why would it run out?”

“You know about Shengshi Group from Asia, right? Its fresh meat has always been a major food source for our city. But this morning, that company was in big trouble; their CEO was taken away by the military of M country.”

Yin Hehe had not expected the driver to suddenly drop such news.

Her head buzzed at the thought.

The military?

Why would he be taken by the military? Didn’t Jin Saiwen tell her just yesterday that the local court had filed a murder lawsuit against this man?

The color drained from her face, which was half-covered by a mask.

“What in the world is going on? How can the CEO of such a large company be taken away by the military of another country so easily?”

“I don’t know the details, but if the military is involved, the man’s probably not far from death. That’s why everyone’s here so early in the morning, stocking up on meat from the company. If he dies, who knows whether we’ll still be able to get any?”

The driver had a look of regret in the car.

The products from Shengshi Group were indeed good, and under Sheng Siyuan’s leadership, they had expanded into the international market, conquering many remote cities as well.

Yin Hehe felt a chill in her hands and feet.

She didn’t want to deal with this matter, yet as if possessed, she pulled out her phone, and before she knew it, she had already made the call.

“Lan, what’s up?”

It was her boss’s voice.

Seeing this, Yin Hehe swallowed hard and, clutching her phone, still spoke up, “Mr. Jin, I wanted to ask about the case you’re handling. How did I hear that the CEO of Shengshi Group was taken away by their military?”

“You’re quite up-to-date with the news,”

Her boss chuckled nonchalantly over the phone.

“Yes, he was taken away this morning.”

“!!!!” Yin Hehe’s lips even turned pale.

It took her a long while to compose herself before she heard herself ask, “Why? Didn’t you say we’d go through the courts? How did you get the military involved as well? His case has nothing to do with those people, right?”

Her boss spoke in a very indifferent tone, “I don’t have that kind of power. This is all his own masterpiece.”

“What do you mean?”

“It means that in order to strike back at Bai Feite, he exposed all the dealings this company had with the military. Now, Bai Feite’s empire has crumbled overnight, and Sheng Siyuan can’t escape it either.”

The boss was fairly polite, explaining the ins and outs of the situation once more.

In an instant, after listening, Yin Hehe felt as if something had cleaved down on her, leaving her mind completely blank.

Had he gone mad?

To actually drag the military into this, wasn’t he courting death? A man should be flexible; why couldn’t he just endure it?

She finally lost her composure.

At that moment, she didn’t want to admit that the coldness and panic crawling up from the depths of her heart upon hearing this were even colder than the chill of the wind earlier.

“So, we at Landun have this case in the bag now,” said her boss all of a sudden, with a hint of glee after hearing her silence on the phone for a long time.

Yin Hehe snapped back to reality.

“They’ve approached you as well?”

“Of course. Bai Feite may have fallen, but the military wants Sheng Siyuan’s life; they need a just cause. Otherwise, with him being the president of such a large company, his disappearance would arouse suspicion.”

The boss didn’t hide anything and casually mentioned the reason the military had retained them.

Yin Hehe immediately understood.

In a moment of both shock and anger, gripping her phone, she blurted out, “So, you’re going to collude with them? Frame that person?”

“Frame? Prince Billy’s death is a fact, and all I am doing now is changing the plaintiff, what’s the difference?”

“You—”

Yin Hehe was so angry she trembled all over.

She had never imagined that her boss, who had originally brought her out, would become such a person under the temptation of benefits and power.

Where were his justice and his beliefs?

“Lan Yi, I know you know this Sheng Siyuan, but I remind you, best not to meddle in this matter. This time it involves the military. Even without me, they would have to get rid of him having his hold on their scandal!”

“…”

“If you get in their way, they’ll not spare you either!”

It was like thunder on a clear day!

The boss, hearing Yin Hehe’s unrestrainable anger, the next second let slip her connection with Sheng Siyuan.

All of Yin Hehe’s fury was suddenly stifled as if by acupoint sealing.

Yes, with such power, if she were to intervene, she would only become another soul under their guns.

So, why should she destroy herself for this man?

He was so ungrateful and beastly, had she forgotten the suffering and pain he had brought her over the years?

Yin Hehe eventually slowly closed her eyes.

After a long time, when the crowd at the entrance of the supermarket finally swarmed in, she opened her eyes, and her clear, cold amber pupils were already utterly calm.

She went back.

About twenty minutes later, just as Caicai living on this side of the residence was about to stop the two little ones determined to go down,

Yin Hehe finally appeared downstairs.

“You’re back? Eh? Didn’t you buy any bones?”

She saw it, a flash of joy crossing her eyes, and looked down at the basket Yin Hehe was carrying.

Yin Hehe: “…”

After a long while, she forced a slightly pale smile, “I was late, they were gone.”
