Chapter 604: A Mess
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
Shan Yue sounded very confident and was even in the mood to joke. “Actually, I came tonight to help Director Cheng check how your security measures are. From the looks of it, it’s simply a mess. Even someone like me can barge in so easily.”
“Security check?” Cheng Yan’s every word was filled with disdain for Shan Yue. “President Shan, I’m sure you know very well why you’re here tonight. Do you have to be so secretive?”
“If Director Cheng speaks like this, 1 don’t understand even more. What should 1 know? Or do you have some unspeakable secret that can’t be discovered?” Shan Yue looked clueless and looked forward innocently. “But if you really want to pin this on me, there’s nothing 1 can do. 1 just hope you can make things clear.”
“Shan Yue, at this point, there’s no need to continue pretending.” Cheng Yan’s eyes darkened immediately, looking very terrifying. It made one’s back turn cold. “You should have seen everything. With your meticulousness, nothing in this room can escape your eyes.”
Since she had already said it so clearly, Shan Yue decided not to continue pretending. She immediately retracted her pitiful gaze and replaced it with an abnormally firm gaze that stared intently at Cheng Yan.
“You’re right. 1 did see everything.” Shan Yue spoke very casually and naturally, without the slightest timidity. “Including the extent of the medicine on Director Cheng’s table, the treatment plan, and the patient’s condition record. Of course, this naturally includes the person lying in the secret room.”
Cheng Yan was stunned for a moment when she heard this. However, she quickly regained her composure. The anger in her eyes gradually turned into aggressive killing intent. Shan Yue deliberately emphasized the last sentence, as if it was an affirmation, but it was also more like an invisible warning. It stabbed deeply into Cheng Yan’s heart like a time bomb.
“Since President Shan has said it so clearly, I can’t let you leave this room alive today.” Cheng Yan’s lips curled into a mocking smile. “Don’t blame me. You can only blame yourself. The hunter will shoot the bird that sticks out. Since you’ve become the person who stands out, you have to pay the corresponding price for your recklessness.”
“We’ve already come this far. Director Cheng, you don’t have to be so hypocritical.” Shan Yue did not show any mercy to Cheng Yan and directly exposed her sinister side. “It’s precisely because I discovered your secret that I gave you an excuse to attack me. However, even if 1 didn’t discover anything, you’re not prepared to let me leave here alive today, are you?”
As soon as she finished speaking, Cheng Yan did not answer directly. Instead, she clapped her hands. Then, she waved her right hand and gestured for her subordinates to close the door that she had just knocked open.
“President Shan is indeed President Shan. It’s really easy to deal with smart people. No wonder there are many rumors about you in Federation City. From the looks of it, you live up to your reputation.”
Cheng Yan was not stingy with her praise because she thought that she already had an absolute advantage. “You’re right. I definitely can’t let you reveal the situation in this room. Otherwise, not only my position, but even the people above will be in danger.”
As soon as these words were spoken, Shan Yue quickly caught the main point of her words. Since Cheng Yan dared to say so, she must know what position the person behind her held in the Federation’s Central City.
Therefore, as long as she could pry open her mouth and uncover the entire chain of officials covering up for her, this muddy water in the Federation City could be completely purged.
At the very least, she could exchange it for a moment of peace.
“Director Cheng, recognize the reality and repent. Do you really think the higher-ups will still protect you after something really happens? At that time, they won’t even be able to take care of themselves. How can they have the time to care about you? Isn’t Yu Sen the best example?”
Shan Yue spoke bluntly and hit the point that Cheng Yan did not like to hear. “Don’t wait to take the blame for them while smiling and thinking that you’re
very important when the time comes..”
