Chapter 345: Lin Fan—"I choose you!"

"Wait..."

Lin Fan’s voice was weak.

But nobody listened.

Dermila, who had been troubled moments ago, also put those thoughts aside and looked worriedly at Lin Fan as he was carried away by the three brothers.

"He’ll be alright, right?"

Bert remained calm.

"Don’t underestimate him. How can a superhero fall down so easily?"

He nodded with absolute confidence.

"I’m sure he must have overused his powers while saving other people."

Dermila was relieved.

Her eyes followed the direction in which Sam and the others had left.

"Don’t worry. We can go see him after we hand this robber over to the police."

"Okay!"

Dermila nodded before suddenly remembering something.

"By the way, my name is Dermila Ausburn."

"Hello, I’m Bert Wrick. Those three are my brothers."

It didn’t take long for the police to arrive.

A female officer stepped forward and confirmed the situation.

"Hello, I’m Captain Song Jinyu. Were you the one who called the police?"

"Yes, officer."

Bert nodded and stepped forward to explain the situation, while Dermila also described everything she had experienced.

Song Jinyu looked at Dermila and offered her a reassuring smile.

"I’m sorry that you had to experience something like this under my jurisdiction."

She then gestured for the other officers to take the unconscious robber into custody.

"Although I understand that you might still be frightened, I hope you can come with me to give a statement."

Dermila and Bert nodded before following the officers to the police station.

Ankang Biotech

When Su Mo entered the building, he happened to come across a familiar figure walking out, carrying a file.

"Secretary Lin?"

Lin Yaorui looked over upon hearing someone call her. At the sight of the handsome man standing before her, a look of surprise appeared on her face.

"Mr. Su." She greeted him politely. "Hello."

"Are you here to see CEO Leng?" Su Mo asked as he walked over.

Since he was in the company, he addressed Leng Shuang a little more formally.

He knew that Secretary Lin and Leng Shuang had a good relationship, so it wasn’t surprising for her to come over. What was surprising was that she had come during working hours.

Given Secretary Lin’s strictness and diligence, this was rather unexpected.

Just as he expected, Secretary Lin’s following words made him understand that she had indeed come here for business.

"I had a meeting with CEO Leng regarding the launch of some new products. Yang Industries will be providing the supply chain."

Lin Yaorui answered briefly. This wasn’t the place to discuss business secrets.

Su Mo understood and didn’t ask any further.

Anyway, he would find out after meeting Shuang later. Not that he was particularly interested in the company’s affairs. Leng Shuang was capable enough to handle everything and let him continue being a hands-off boss.

"Since it was a meeting, how come you’re alone? Where’s your new assistant? I heard you hired your cousin."

Su Mo asked because he had seen Lin Fan earlier and was confused as to why he wasn’t at work.

Did he take a leave? He hadn’t looked like he was sick.

Lin Yaorui was slightly taken aback by his question. She wondered why Mr. Su would know about this matter.

However, she soon thought of her boss and her unclear relationship with Mr. Su and immediately understood.

"Actually, my cousin resigned, and we haven’t had time to fill the vacant position of my assistant. So I came alone."

"Your cousin resigned? Why?"

Su Mo was surprised.

"He couldn’t handle the work pressure and gave up."

Lin Yaorui tried to make it sound like it wasn’t a big deal, but Su Mo immediately sensed a huge piece of gossip.

Interesting.

He would definitely let Qingxi find out the exact situation later.

"Alright then, I won’t occupy your time any further, Secretary Lin."

Lin Yaorui bowed slightly.

"I wish you a good day as well, Mr. Su."

With that, she turned around and left.

Su Mo remained standing in place as the thought he had previously suppressed once again resurfaced in his mind.

Should I send him a Subsystem?

Of course, since this guy was no longer Qingxi’s subordinate, Su Mo decided to become a completely black-hearted capitalist.

Anyway, that guy is unemployed now.

Which means he can focus more on earning System Points for me.

The only question is, which one should I give him? The Live Broadcast System or the Popularity System?

After thinking for a few seconds, Su Mo made his decision.

The Popularity System.

He wasn’t sure if anyone would even watch Lin Fan’s livestream.

As for the Popularity System, Lin Fan’s negative popularity should be able to generate quite a lot of points.

It’s just that Lin Fan needed to appear in the public eye once again.

Su Mo opened the system.

...And send.

A faint smile appeared on his face.

’Lin Fan, I hope you make good use of this opportunity in the future.’

Ankang Biotech — CEO’s Office

After arriving at the CEO’s office, Su Mo knocked before walking in.

Leng Shuang raised her brow, and a surprised expression appeared on her face.

"Master, you’re back!"

"Mm-hmm. I just got back earlier. How is everything going?"

Leng Shuang took out a file and handed it to him.

"These are the records of all the major decisions the company has made recently."

Su Mo looked at the thick folder in his hand and put it aside without a second thought.

"...I trust you."

Leng Shuang simply stared at him expressionlessly.

She would have been happy to hear that if she hadn’t known his true nature.

Does he trust me? Maybe.

But I know for certain that the reason he isn’t reading that folder is because he’s too lazy to do so.

Su Mo merely chuckled dryly under her gaze.

"Anyway, let’s put that aside for now. Let me tell you about my experience this time."

"Should I call Qian Lian too? She’ll definitely be excited to hear about it."
