The Elite Assassin Becomes a Flat and Ugly Nerd! Chapter 254 Repent

254 Repent

Seeing that Tang Li was in a fit of anger, the a.s.sistant stood at the side and did not dare to breathe. After pausing for a few seconds, he said carefully, “President Tang, the butler said that Master has already instructed in advance. No matter what kind of matter you have tonight, even if the Tang Corporation collapses, you have to find someone else to hold it up. Master has to see you tonight.”

Tang Li could not help but panic in the face of her father’s sudden and serious request. “This doesn’t make sense. Father has always been very steady. He never treats me like this. If he wants me to go home, it means that something big must have happened.”

Tang Li carefully recalled what had happened recently. Suddenly, a bad thought flashed across her mind. “Could it be that Father wants to ask me about firearms smuggling too? He’s always been an upright person and can’t stand these transactions. d.a.m.n Shan Yue. She’s going against me everywhere. I definitely won’t do as she wants this time.”

Tang Li’s hands turned into fists and punched the table fiercely. Even the expression on her face became gritted teeth to vent the anger in her heart. “Call the butler back and tell Father that I’ll be home on time tonight. If he has any questions, take this opportunity to ask them.”

“I understand, President Tang.”

After the a.s.sistant left, Tang Li, who was in the dark office, fell into deep thought again. Why could Shan Yue grasp the evidence in advance about Zhou Xuan’s matter?

Since Shan Yue had already made this matter clear, it meant that Shan Yue must have something in her hand that could accuse her. She could not sit still and wait for death. If she was always in a pa.s.sive position, she would never be able to defeat Shan Yue.

Tang Li was also very efficient. Just as she thought of this, she immediately called her a.s.sistant over. “Get someone to investigate now. From our company’s internal and cooperating partners, you must find out what substantial evidence Shan Yue has now.”

Before the a.s.sistant could reply, Tang Li added, “Help me prepare the car immediately. I’m still uneasy sitting in the office. I’ll go home now.”

When it was almost evening, Tang Li’s car stopped at the entrance of the Tang family’s house. Tang Xia did not directly blame her immediately. Instead, as usual, they ate dinner first before calling Tang Li to the study.

“Sit down first. There’s something I have to clarify today.” Tang Xia’s usual amiable att.i.tude changed. At this moment, his att.i.tude was very serious. “In the past few years, our Tang Corporation has developed so rapidly. I originally thought that it was because of your painstaking management, but that was not the case. I handed the Tang Corporation to you personally. What have you done?”

As Tang Li had expected, her father called her home anxiously. The question he wanted to ask was about her smuggling firearms. It further confirmed the fact that Shan Yue had told her father.

At this moment, Tang Li stammered, trying to use the trust between the two of them to get away with it. “I didn’t do anything. I’ve always led the company on the path of proper management. In the past few years, the market environment has been good, so our Tang Corporation could develop so quickly. If you don’t believe me, you can ask my a.s.sistant and the employees in the company.”

“You’ve been running the company for a few years. Don’t I know that? Most of the a.s.sistants and employees around you have long become yours.”

Tang Xia frowned and his serious tone gradually became stern. “The reason I called you home to ask you today is to give you a chance to turn over a new leaf. If you really didn’t do anything, then I can believe you. But if you do anything illegal and don’t tell me the truth, even I won’t be able to protect you in the end.”

As soon as she said that, Tang Li became even more convinced that her father should already know about her smuggling. However, he was waiting for her to admit it herself.

Tang Li did not speak. She just walked silently to the table and poured herself a cup of tea to ease the serious atmosphere. “Father, you’ve never interfered in the company’s affairs all these years, so you won’t ask me these questions for no reason. Did someone come to the house to say something to you? Is that person Shan Yue of the Shan Corporation?”
