In the office, Xia Hou Yu had a pulsing headache as he was angry.
“So you told her? I told you so many times to be tactful, but you… you told her explicitly that we would send someone over to watch her? Mu Chen Yuan, are you trying to anger me?”
“Was it so hard to be tactful?”
The more he spoke the angrier he became. He threw the half-read document at Mu Chen Yuan.
Mu Chen Yuan caught the document. He took a big step with his back straight and returned the document to the table. Then he retreated and returned to his original position. His tidy military uniform did not have a trace of wrinkles.
He replied with a cold voice, “She is smart and prefers to be straightforward, why not just tell her the truth.”
The truth was that she was being watched, but he was supposed to tell her that it was to protect her due to her involvement in Carl’s arrest.
Would she believe that?
He didn’t believe it anyway.
Xia Hou Yu wanted to throw the tea in the thermo flask at him.
“Do you understand the art of speech? Who could stand this type of directness? If you were kind enough to help, but not only were you not rewarded but you had to be watched, would you take that?”
Mu Chen Yuan replied, “If there is nothing to hide, then there is no need to be afraid.”
“And what if there is? You would have alerted her!” Xia Hou Yu glared at his subordinate who showed no remorse. The back of his head was also aching by then.
“If there was a problem then we would resolve it,” he replied simply, his words were cold and simple. “Cheng Ming is still hidden, you don’t have to worry about alerting her.”
Xia Hou Yu picked up the thermo flask, lowered his head and took a sip of tea. The smile in his eyes was concealed.
Every generation of the Mu family was extraordinary. Mu Chen Yuan, who replaced his brother in the war, was even better. There was nothing to be worried about when he was in charge.
Investigations on the first Miss An did not reveal anything unusual, her background was clean like a fresh sheet of paper. She had not even been out of Xuancheng City, let alone the country. Both she and her mother were tortured by the An family and trapped in Xuancheng City.
But she had changed all of a sudden, the records seemed to show a different person from who she was. Even though she assisted in the arrest of Carl, the military department could not trust her.
Mu Chen Yuan let her know that the military department was investigating her so that she wouldn’t act rashly.
The more actions she took, the more she would reveal.
Doing nothing would be safer.
But to the investigating team, if she took no action then they would have more time to investigate the clues she left in the past. Through those clues, they could determine if there was anything amiss with Miss An.
Xia Hou Yu did not reveal that he understood. Placing the thermo flask back on the table and with the same look of displeasure he said, “ Do I still need to teach you not to say everything you know aloud? What if there isn’t anything wrong with her? Then it would be difficult for us to recruit her!”
“You were never so direct before this, but with Miss An, you are so straightforward? Were the others in the team right about something going on between you two?”
It’s not impossible.
His eyes flashed, Xia Hou Yu’s displeased expression became more serious as he looked at his proud subordinate. He frowned slightly.
The look in Xia Hou Yu’s eyes clearly showed what he meant. Mu Chen Yuan looked back at him and said, “You think too much.”
“Really?” Xia Hou Yu showed his doubt. He tapped his fingers lightly on the wooden table. After a few taps, he asked thoughtfully, “Chen Yuan, have you had a girlfriend before?”
As far as he knew, he had always been single.
