Chapter 472 - Another Letter of Appointment (1/2)

“Commander, as to that woman…” Zhang Hai hesitates at the other end of the phone, “Wan Liqing said that she didn’t know her. She didn’t see clearly the woman’s face when she passed the video to her. She didn’t know the name of her, either. She said that she knew nothing about her except hearing her voice.”

Hearing this, Yi Yunrui thinks for a while and asks, “Did Wan Liqing remember when she met this woman and got the video from her?”

“Yes, she did.”

“Good. Keep an eye on her. Tell Director Tong to take her to the police office.”

“Yes, Commander!”

Yi Yunrui still wants to say something. However, his phone rings for another call. It is Gu Luan.

Gu Luan?

“Zhang Hai, keep me posted with any news.” Then, not waiting for Zhang Hai’s responses, Yi Yunrui presses the answer button. He glances at his wife and says, “Hello, Mr. Gu.”

Hearing the words Mr. Gu, Xia Ning widens her eyes. She looks at Yi Yunrui in surprise.

“Commander Yi, … is Ning with you?” Gu Luan’s voice sounds very weak at the other end of the phone. However, by comparison, he seems to be better.

“Yes. Do you want to speak to her?”

“No need. Commander Yi, can you two come to the hospital now?”

Fifteen minutes later, Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning arrive at Gu Luan’s ward in the C City Military Region Hospital.

Gu Luan looks very pale. He is having infusion on his hand while there are a few inspection instruments around. However, generally speaking, he looks better.

When Gu Luan sees Yi Yunrui and Xia Ning, his eyes gleam with complicated emotion. He looks at Xia Ning for quite a while and says, “Ning, all these days, I have brought trouble and inconvenience to you. I am sorry. I am not trying to deny my responsibility. After I get better, I will go to give myself up and confess everything.”

Xia Ning purses her lips. Actually, Gu Luan didn’t commit serious crimes while Jiang Yongran didn’t turn him in – to be exact, Jiang Yongran avoided this issue during the inquiry. With his background, Gu Luan can’t be sentenced to any serious punishments.

If Gu Luan gives himself up, he will lose all the achievements he has worked hard to make.

Is he really willing to do that?

Isn’t the consequence too bad?

“Are you… really going to give yourself up?” Xia Ning asks. Actually, she wants to ask Gu Luan to think it over again.

Gu Luan looks at Xia Ning for another while. He lowers his head and gives a sigh, “I can’t face myself and I can’t face someone, either. Ning, you don’t need to persuade me.”

When Gu Luan says someone, he means Xia Ning.

Xia Ning understands. However, because Yi Yunrui is here while he knows nothing about what happened between Gu Luan and her, it is inconvenient for her to talk about some issues.

Gu Luan turns to Yi Yunrui. He pats on Xia Ning’s hand and says, “Ning, you are really married to a great husband. Commander Yi … is a nice guy.”

This is the truth. Though he denied this in his heart all the time. Most of the time, he doesn’t like Yi Yunrui. However, every time, when Xia Ning is in danger, it is always Yi Yunrui who protects her safely.

It is correct that he spent more time staying with Xia Ning, but Yi Yunrui understands better what Xia Ning wants than he does.

It is ironic that all the time, he has been creating trouble for Xia Ning, though he always says that he has been protecting her.

Xia Ning feels a little sad. She doesn’t know what she can say to comfort him. She is clear that Gu Luan loves her and she understands how difficult it is for Gu Luan to say these words.

After quite a while, Xia Ning responds, “Director Gu, thank you.”

Gu Luan gently smiles. He shakes his head, “Ning, I am not a director any longer. You really need to call me Luan in the future.”

Xia Ning feels shocked, “Not a director? What happened?”

Gu Luan takes out a document from the drawer beside him. He passes it to Xia Ning, “Ning, this is a Letter of Appointment from the headquarters of World Era Weekly in the US, you may read it carefully yourself.”

Xia Ning takes over the Letter of Appointment. When she reads it, she is shocked by surprise!

The Letter of Appointment is for her. She is appointed as the Director of World Era Weekly in the Asian areas!

God. It means that she is the boss of World Era Weekly in China! That is an important position!

Does she make any mistakes?

All these years, she has been dreaming of becoming a director. She thought that she might not be able to make this dream realized all her life. However, the Letter of Appointment seriously tells her the truth: yes, she is the director now!

She is the director of World Era Weekly!
