“Ha, it’s just a little busy for now, it will get easier in the future, then I’ll give you two months of annual leave a year.”

“Chan, you’re still so good at making empty promises.”

“I proved the FT incremental digging model was sound from the beginning, and you still lacked confidence.

Now look, haven’t I predicted correctly?”

“So, I’m not just making empty promises, they can be fulfilled.”

With that said, Lisa nodded and turned to leave.

At the door, she hesitated, then turned back to ask.

“After the last attack, the LAPD came to me.

A guy named Jax asked me a lot of questions, and I answered ‘I don’t know’ to all of them.

Is there any problem with that?”

Cheng Daqi knew that she wasn’t asking if there was anything wrong with Jax.

Lisa wanted to know what would follow-up.

Whether it was out of friendship or having shared a common experience in an accident, she indeed had many questions.

However, this girl had a good sense of social distance, so her question seemed rather indirect.

“Don’t worry, just keep working as normal.

The incident where we were attacked is pretty much over.”

“Over?”

Seeing Lisa’s incredulous look, Cheng Daqi smiled.

“LPAD mobilized all its strength to investigate, but found no leads, so it probably ends there.

Maybe that’s just life?”

The blonde white girl still didn’t quite understand.

How could an attack by gunmen, particularly a targeted and organized one, not be taken seriously and be a cause of concern?

“You said it might be Mi’er’s brother Achilles who sent people to attack you.

Why not investigate him?”

Lisa was somewhat conflicted.

She guessed what kind of answer Cheng Daqi might give, but she was at heart a good person, otherwise, she wouldn’t have helped CEO Cheng when he was in trouble.

She hoped the world wasn’t that dark, right?

“In America, we value equality, but some are more equal than others.

Moreover, this matter isn’t something that can only be resolved through the police or lawsuits.

I told you a lot that day, but it was just to help you understand the situation that Mi’er and I are facing.

Lisa, we’re friends.

So, these issues might involve you, including the attack the other day which is part of such involvement.

Actually, I’m still not sure what exactly happened.

Just continue your normal life.

At most, just keep those two female bodyguards I found for you close.

Don’t feel pressured.”

The brutal clash brought on by the huge business conflict left CEO Cheng feeling helpless.

He could descend into a mutually destructive struggle but preferred to work his way up to the summit step by step.

When it came to involving his friends, however, he still felt sorry.

Cheng Daqi had said things like ‘don’t feel pressured’ several times today, and Lisa sensed he was under immense pressure.

This man was being suffocated by stress, which was why his words seemed off.

“Alright…

you mean, there’s another way to solve this case?”

“Keep it secret.

Off you go, get back to work.”

With that, Lisa was confusingly ushered out the door by CEO Cheng.

Wishing to talk more wasn’t an option, as CEO Cheng felt informing her was enough, and there was no need to involve her further.

Little Zhao was an example of how he coped with transformation.

Because of his greed and fear, he lost a friend.

Sigh.

Moreover, CEO Cheng still wasn’t sure the gunmen who attacked him were sent by Achilles, but he’d rather pin it on Achilles than Wolf—who had insufficient motive—or Gru, who had no reason at all.

Others were even less likely.

CEO Cheng preferred to believe in the contradictions tangled in interests, suspecting it was the work of a potential big brother-in-law.

However, it was time to meet Achilles.

Theoretically, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, but many roads in reality are curved.
