Chapter 2182: Not a Shred of Tacit Understanding

Seeing Jiang Mobai hanging his head, looking like he was waiting for judgment, Li Beijue became even angrier.

However, before he could speak again, a voice came from behind him and Jiang Baobao: "Sorry, Jiang Mobai was implicated by me this time."

Hearing this voice, Jiang Baobao immediately turned around.

She saw Su Kexuan standing there.

This time, it was Jiang Baobao who was completely bewildered.

She hurriedly asked: "What is going on here?"

Su Kexuan recounted the "unexpected encounter" between her and Jiang Mobai.

Finally, Su Kexuan said very apologetically: "If it weren't for troubling Jiang Mobai to take me, the unlucky events that followed wouldn't have happened."

Unlucky?

Jiang Baobao certainly didn't think so!

She felt this was simply a pie falling from the sky!

But as an elder, she could not show unusual emotions.

Jiang Baobao took Su Kexuan's hand and said: "Neither of you is wrong; the ones who are wrong are those bad people!"

As she spoke, she looked at Jiang Mobai with gratification: "I didn't expect our Mobai to actually have a reliable side."

Jiang Baobao was praising Jiang Mobai for being able to play the hero saving the beauty and seizing the opportunity.

Who knew that Li Beijue would undermine her from behind: "He took the wrong road and ran out of gas; how is that reliable?"

Uh...

Jiang Mobai was a bit embarrassed and unable to refute; he scratched the back of his head and lowered his head.

Jiang Baobao immediately glared at Li Beijue, signaling him not to speak.

Then, Jiang Baobao withdrew her gaze and smiled at Su Kexuan again: "Mobai is usually muddled, but he has a heart full of passion."

Su Kexuan did not comment on this.

Thinking of Jiang Mobai having just come out of the examination room, Su Kexuan asked: "How were your test results?"

"It's nothing, the doctor said I'm doing quite well."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao's brows twitched, and she turned her head to ask: "Son, are you really doing well?"

Her words carried a hidden meaning.

Unfortunately, Jiang Mobai did not understand.

He was still comforting Jiang Baobao: "I'm doing quite well, Mom, you don't need to worry. I even used a Shitou to hit the bad guys at the time, and I was very accurate!"

"Then... are you injured?"

"No!"

Jiang Mobai's tone was firm.

His firmness left Jiang Baobao in silent speechlessness.

Sigh—

To be mother and son, yet have not a shred of tacit understanding!

Jiang Baobao felt secretly melancholy.

Su Kexuan turned a blind eye to Jiang Baobao's change in mood.

She took her bag and said to the two elders: "Uncle, Aunt, you take care of Jiang Mobai. I'm going to the police station to see if I need to cooperate with the investigation further."

"Alright, if there is any situation, just call Mobai."

Su Kexuan nodded lightly and then walked slowly away along the corridor.

Jiang Mobai kept staring at Su Kexuan's back.

Only when she was out of sight did he reluctantly withdraw his gaze.

Then...

He saw his parents staring at him without blinking!

That look made Jiang Mobai feel a bit creeped out.

He hurriedly said: "I really didn't do anything excessive this time; come to think of it, it was a heroic act!"

A heroic act?

Li Beijue gave a cold hum: "Having to rely on a woman for protection at a critical moment, what kind of heroic act is that?"

"I wanted to be a hero, but... Kexuan was too strong."

Jiang Mobai's voice grew quieter as he spoke.

Finally, he lowered his head, lacking confidence.

At this moment, Jiang Baobao spoke up for Jiang Mobai: "Mobai's injuries haven't fully healed, and that affected his performance."

This was a good excuse, and Jiang Mobai nodded hurriedly.

But who knew that the next second, his mother would aim her spear at him: "Only knowing how to watch her from behind, what's the use? You still have to strive for it!"

"Oh my, my head... it hurts a bit, I still want to sleep."

Jiang Mobai raised his hand to cover his forehead, closed his eyes, and swayed his body slightly.

His acting was truly terrible.

Jiang Baobao rolled her eyes in anger.

Glaring hard at Jiang Mobai, Jiang Baobao said crossly: "Since you're uncomfortable, go home and rest. Let's go!"

"Forget about going home, there's a pile of things waiting for me at the racing team, I'm leaving first!"

After Jiang Mobai finished speaking, he lifted his legs and slipped away.

Jiang Baobao and Li Beijue were left looking at each other.

After a few seconds, Jiang Baobao said huffily, "Tell me, why did we come here? What a waste of worry!"

"It wasn't entirely without gain."

"Yeah, right, I also discovered that Mobai and I don't have a shred of chemistry!"

"That is true."

Hearing Li Beijue agree with her, Jiang Baobao did not feel very happy; instead, she frowned and stared at her husband.

Sensing that what his wife needed at this moment was not agreement, Li Beijue immediately brought up something else: "The two children are fine; isn't that the best result?"

Yes, as long as the people are fine, that's all that matters.

As for the rest...

We'll see as we go!

Inside the glass doors, several company executives were locked in a heated debate over a new project.

Su Kexuan sat opposite them, listening with an expressionless face.

Not until they were parched from talking did she open her mouth: "Regarding the news that Dong Qu is about to be developed into a Xin Qu, is there any internal documentation?"

"There isn't; it's all hearsay. Right now, as long as we seize the opportunity and lay the groundwork a step ahead of others, we will definitely reap huge benefits!"

Another executive who did not support the project immediately scoffed upon hearing this: "What if this news isn't accurate? Investing five hundred million is no small sum!"

"This news couldn't have come from nowhere. As far as I know, several companies are already preparing to get involved; we must also speed up!"

"Talk is cheap; we must rely on data and documents to speak!"

"Hmph, by the time the data and documents come out, everyone will have already made their move. By then, where will there be any meat left for us to eat? In business, one cannot be timid!"

"But one also cannot rush forward recklessly; otherwise, will you take responsibility for it!?"

"I..."

Seeing that both sides were about to quarrel again, Su Kexuan tapped lightly on the tabletop.

After the scene quieted down, she said, "President Wang is quite right; this sum of money is no small amount."

Having received Su Kexuan's approval, the executive who had rejected the project immediately straightened his back.

But the next second, Su Kexuan added, "Since we have received the news, we shouldn't let it go to waste. Continue pushing the project forward, and as soon as the news is confirmed to be true, we will immediately set about executing it."

"Boss, then this news..."

"I will meet with Director Tang to sound out his attitude."

With Su Kexuan stepping in, the expressions of the several executives who supported the project eased slightly.

Su Kexuan waved her hand lightly: "Meeting adjourned!"

As her voice fell, Su Kexuan stood up and walked out of the conference room.

The air inside the conference room was stifling.

Outside, it was much fresher.

Su Kexuan breathed deeply to dispel the irritation in her chest.

Don't be fooled by Su Kexuan's calm face during the meeting.

In reality, she was annoyed and flustered by the arguing.

Furthermore, Su Kexuan had said lightly that she would find Director Tang to probe for information.

But it would not be easy to pry any real information out of that director.

Su Kexuan would have to think of a good plan...

She lowered her eyes, deep in thought as she walked.

Out of the corner of her eye, she saw her assistant hurrying toward her.
