Chapter 236: Chapter 236 Again Pretending to Obey but Acting Against Him

"No, I checked the list over and over again..."

Xu Lin answered under pressure.

Despite the mountain of documents on Bo Yunshen’s desk, Bo Yunshen still found the time to concern himself with these insignificant trifles!

Holding a thin sheet of A4 paper, Bo Yunshen pressed it down on the table surface, his narrow eyes sparking with frost.

His gaze briefly swept over the name Lu Yi at the end of the list, his voice icy,

"These people have been neglecting their duties. Go to the HR department and issue a notice according to the severity of the situation."

Xu Lin nodded.

Bo Yunshen tossed the list to Xu Lin and pursed his thin lips, "First, go to the market department and call Director Qin here."

Xu Lin hesitated.

Bo Yunshen let out a cold laugh, "What are you hesitating for? Is Director Qin too big to see me?"

"No, no, no, it’s just that, Mr. Bo, Mr. Qin is not in the office..."

Xu Lin’s voice was as small as a mosquito.

Bo Yunshen stayed silent, his sharp gaze lingering, his fingers with distinct joints playing with a pen, instantly freezing the atmosphere in the office.

Xu Lin swallowed and explained, "President, Director Qin went to Bo Group’s flagship shopping mall for market research..."

"I just called Xiao Shen, and Mr. Qin said he’d come back to the office by the afternoon at the latest."

Bo Yunshen: "..."

He pinched his brow, suddenly remembering the call he received from Qin Yan.

What about calling the guest of honor, seeing who has time, to bring her to work?

Pah!

Qin Yan has even learned to play both sides like this!

Well done!

His fingers tightened around the pen, the knuckles on his large hands turning white.

Flagship shopping mall? Market research?

The largest shopping mall under Bo Group is Central Mall, isn’t it?

If he remembered correctly, wasn’t Shi Muzhou invited there today?

What was Qin Yan really up to, market research or meeting her "guest of honor"?

"So the market department has no one else? This kind of work falls to her, the Director of the market department?"

Xu Lin: "..."

Wasn’t Bo Yunshen just complaining last time that Mr. Qin wasn’t doing practical work, always giving orders?

So why is Mr. Bo unhappy now that Mr. Qin is actually working?

Bo Yunshen’s tongue touched the corner of his lips, his gaze lingering momentarily on the documents on the table.

"Call her back. We’ll have a meeting in twenty minutes!"

Having said that, Bo Yunshen handed his documents to Xu Lin to print several copies to keep for the lunch meeting.

Xu Lin, relieved, took the documents and headed out.

But before he could leave, Bo Yunshen stopped him.

Xu Lin’s body tensed, and he asked in a low voice, "President, any further instructions?"

An undercurrent swirled in the depths of Bo Yunshen’s eyes, "No need to call her, I’ll personally go find her!"

Xu Lin remained silent and slowly exited the president’s office.

Bo Yunshen squeezed the pen in his hand, signing a document he had finished reviewing, his expression somber.

Qin Yan must have guessed he would cause trouble after returning to the office!

She actually came up with such a ploy to avoid him?!

Bo Yunshen didn’t think he’d done anything wrong. Back at Xing Yue Bay, it had been Qin Yan who said it herself.

Even if he restrained himself, he still bore that title above his head!

After signing the papers on his desk, Bo Yunshen glanced at the clock—it was already eleven.

Bo Yunshen rotated his wristwatch and stood up from his desk, heading straight downstairs.

Central Mall was close to Jin Yang Guang Kindergarten; perhaps Qin Yan actually made it to work on time today.

He adjusted his shirt collar, a vague look on his face, Qin Yan, this woman, was truly harmful, as Lu Yi was a prime example.

He tugged at the corner of his mouth, the sullenness fading from his face, lending a bit more clarity to his handsome features.

Upon stepping out of his office door, Xu Lin shrank back a little.

Bo Yunshen beckoned Xu Lin with a finger, "Secretary Xu, come down with me."

Bo Yunshen rarely smiled, so upon seeing a flicker of humor in his eyes, Xu Lin shivered.

Following Bo Yunshen’s steady steps, Xu Lin hesitated no further, accompanying him downstairs to the parking garage.

Bo Yunshen opened the trunk directly, taking out a dirty set of clothes.

In the pocket of the trousers, Bo Yunshen found a collection bag, then tossed a set of clothes into the garbage bin in the parking garage.

The collection bag was dirty, but that didn’t prevent Xu Lin from seeing the lock of jet-black and shiny hair inside.

Next, Bo Yunshen took out another collection bag from the car, also containing hair, and handed it to Xu Lin.

His hair had been ready since the night before his visit to Gu Jinyan.

Qin Yinyin looked too much like him, previously unnoticed by him, and moreover, it wasn’t just one person who pointed out their resemblance.

Even though he couldn’t remember ever sleeping with Qin Yan...

But even to shut Qin Yan up, he had to go ahead with this DNA test!

A complex emotion flashed briefly through Bo Yunshen’s eyes.

"Help me with something, take these materials to the address I’ve sent to your phone."

"You don’t have to come to work today, just do this for me, in person, and make sure it’s confidential."

Xu Lin, hearing this, nodded and hesitated before asking, "President, are you going for a paternity test with Miss Yinyin?"

Bo Yunshen’s stare swept over Xu Lin, who fell silent.

...

Tong City Mall.

Qin Yan was busy when Shi Muzhou showed up.

She paused, handling her work momentarily before making time to see him.

Shi Muzhou was rarely dressed in a black shirt. As a celebrity, his makeup was light but well-executed, giving him an edgy and defiant appearance.

He tilted his head and extended a hand to greet Qin Yan.

Qin Yan blinked and smiled, "What brings you here? Is there an event?"

Shi Muzhou showed a touch of discontent, "After so many years as classmates, don’t you care about me at all?"

He tugged at his tie; his presence made Qin Yan’s counter the center of attention in the mall.

After finishing the form, Qin Yan stood up from the counter.

As she turned around, Shi Muzhou’s pupils contracted, his gaze fixed on her leg.

Her leg was injured on the mountain and further scraped on the sand while trying to rescue Yinyin.

Some parts were treated in the hospital, but the wounds on her knee, after festering overnight, looked even more dreadful. Even through her stockings, the injury was starkly evident.
