Chapter 98 Begins (Part )

It's usually not this busy at this time, but today seems very different.

"Boss Gu!"

A soft call broke the eerie atmosphere in the room. Fan Fan pushed open the heavy glass door of Lin Tao's office at the right moment, her steps filled with a bit of urgency. Her eyes accidentally met Tian Tian's, and instantly, a subtle undercurrent seemed to fill the air.

Tian Tian also saw her come in. She picked up the thermos cup on the table in a huff. A hint of dissatisfaction and stubbornness flashed in her eyes. She gave Fan Fan a meaningful roll of the eyes and turned away.

After Tian Tian's figure completely disappeared outside the door, Fan Fan finally came to his senses and walked quickly towards Lin Tao, his eyes full of concern and anxiety. "Boss Gu, has something happened to Sister Hong?"

Lin Tao glanced towards the door, and Fan Fan immediately understood what he meant and ran over to close the door, and even locked it.

"Is the situation serious?" Fan Fan returned to Lin Tao's side, his tone full of anxiety.

"It's a bit troublesome." Lin Tao took a document and handed it to her. "This is the information Xiao Ran urgently sent back last night. It's about the mysterious group of people who raided the Red Scorpion Organization."

Fan Fan flipped through the pages quickly, a serious look gradually forming between his brows. "Not from Siam?"

Lin Tao nodded solemnly, "They were sent from China."

Fan Fan's brows were furrowed, his eyes filled with confusion and bewilderment. He slowly turned to Lin Tao, his tone filled with disbelief, "Why? There's no reason! Hasn't the Red Scorpion been targeting us all along? How could we suddenly be attacked by people from China?"

Lin Tao gently raised his hand, removing the sunglasses that always obscured his deep eyes. His fingertips casually slid across the bridge of his nose, as if trying to relieve some invisible pressure. "Sister Hong was attacked only after she learned of the situation and rushed over to investigate."

"Have you confirmed who the Red Scorpion is?" Fan Fan looked back at the gate and asked cautiously and tentatively.

Lin Tao's mouth curled up into a complex and subtle smile, somewhat helplessly, "Yes, it's her."

Fan Fan also sighed helplessly and sat down on the chair in front of him, "Then can I quit?"

Lin Tao rolled his eyes at her and said, "Be serious and don't learn those nonsense from your sister Hong."

Fan Fan curled her lips slightly, as if expressing dissatisfaction and a hint of playfulness. She suddenly leaned forward, resting her hands on the table, a sly glint in her eyes. "Tsk! Sister Hong isn't as serious as I am. How about this, just once? I just need to get pregnant with your child. I promise that once I'm pregnant with your child, I won't bother you again."

Lin Tao paused abruptly, then, with an almost doting yet somewhat helpless intensity, he gently patted Fan Fan's head, making a crisp "pa" sound. "What are you thinking about every day?"

Fan Fan let out an exaggerated "ouch" and involuntarily shrank his head back. His eyes were full of innocence and grievance. He looked at Lin Tao with grievance and a face full of resentment.

"I have a mission for you." Lin Tao's tone turned serious. "Go back to Sister Hong and keep a close eye on her for me. No matter what happens, don't let her act impulsively, and don't let her think about revenge. Remember, this is for the greater good."

Lin Tao pulled out a bank card from the drawer and placed it in front of Fan Fan. "Give this to the brother over there. All my accounts are being closely monitored by the Red Scorpions. If I try to transfer money, it will be intercepted."

Fan Fan picked up the card, a hint of curiosity and amusement in her eyes. "Aren't you going to confront her?"

"It's not the right time yet." Lin Tao shook his head. "The most urgent task is to quickly figure out which Chinese power is behind this. My intuition tells me that the Jiang family may no longer be able to sit still."

Upon hearing this, Fan Fan's expression became solemn and he silently put the card into his arms.

"By the way, what are you going to do with the brothers who have come here?" When Fan Fan turned around to leave, he seemed to remember something and turned back to ask.

Lin Tao pushed up his glasses, which he had put back on, and said, "Send them all to Nanshan! I think that old fellow from Beihanshan is probably hiding there."

Fan Fan didn't say anything else, walked to the door and opened it.

Just at this time, Tian Tian also came over, and the two met at the door.

Fan Fan glanced at Tian Tian, ​​slyly patted his waist, and said in a coquettish voice, "Oh! Mr. Gu, you are so mean. I won't come here anymore!"

After saying that, she gave Tian Tian a provocative smile, twisted her waist and walked away.

Tian Tian glared at her back fiercely before returning to Lin Tao.

"Boom!"

She suddenly slammed the thermos cup in her hand onto the table in front of Lin Tao, making a dull thud. Her eyes were filled with unquestionable determination, and her tone was tinged with impatience. "I need a leave!"

Lin Tao didn't seem to hear what she said next. "She's just talking nonsense."

"Ah? What?" Tian Tian frowned slightly and looked at Lin Tao in confusion.

Seeing this, Lin Tao hurriedly clarified, "I mean, she just said nonsense. She just came to me to report on her work. We didn't do anything!"

Tian Tian suddenly realized, "Why are you telling me this? Oh! I'm serious, I need to ask for leave! I really have something urgent to deal with."

"What's the reason?" Lin Tao turned on the computer and ignored her.

"It's urgent!"

"The reason is invalid!" Lin Tao's fingers tapped quickly on the keyboard, showing no sign of agreeing with her.

Tian Tian curled her lips helplessly at this, thinking to herself, this stubborn guy, no matter how much she said, he wouldn't be easily shaken. She simply leaned closer to the table and looked at Lin Tao, "Can't you just let me go for once? I really have something important to do, and I don't want to waste time!"

"If it's something very important, you should tell me clearly instead of letting me guess." Lin Tao raised his head, his eyes firm, and his tone revealed a hint of unquestionable majesty.

Tian Tian raised her fist and gestured above Lin Tao's head for a while, then suddenly an idea flashed in her mind, "I'm going on a honeymoon with my husband, this excuse is okay, right?"

Lin Tao closed his computer and looked up at her seriously. Tian Tian felt a little guilty. Although she couldn't see Lin Tao's eyes, she still felt uneasy when he looked at her.

"What are you looking at? It's real!"

Lin Tao smiled slightly, with a hint of cunning in his tone, "Really?"

Tian Tian nodded seriously.

Lin Tao said "oh" and turned on the computer to continue his work.

"No, what do you mean by 'oh'? Do you agree or disagree?" Tian Tian was anxious. She turned off Lin Tao's computer and stared at him.
