Chapter 3: Chapter 3: She Saw What She Shouldn't Have, Just In Case
This 'handling' refers to Tang Yu, who suddenly appeared at the crime scene.
Tang Yu took a step back in fright, especially the man's gaze on her was dark and sharp, making her very uneasy.
Could he be thinking about killing her to silence her?
"I... I didn't see anything... uh... I won't say anything, I promise!"
Xiao Yu asked, "What are you doing here? An employee?"
"No! I... I submitted my resume online and was asked to come here for an interview today," Tang Yu said.
Ye Sihan's sharp black eyes stared at her, "Have I seen you somewhere before?"
Tang Yu trembled with fright, shaking her head like a rattle, "No, no, definitely not!"
In reality, her blood was already racing with fear.
How could she admit it? The first step in hiding the child was to vehemently deny 'knowing each other'.
Xiao Yu couldn't help but scrutinize the girl standing at the door, her interview outfit accentuating her curves, slender and graceful, with her fair and shapely legs exposed.
She wore black-framed glasses that made the contours of her eyes blurry, but her pupils were very clear, bright as a spring, and her entire demeanor was spotlessly clean.
Mr. Night's gaze lingered on her perhaps a little longer than usual, with a meaningful depth that had never been seen before.
Even with Luo Bingbing.
The man who had been begging for mercy suddenly raised his face, showing a ferocious twist as he charged towards Tang Yu, grabbing her throat and pressing a knife against her carotid artery—
"!!" Tang Yu's eyes widened in terror, not daring to move.
"Nobody come over! Otherwise, I'll kill her!" The man had lost his reason in his desperation to live.
The man sitting calmly in the chair merely had eyes as cold as ice.
"Calm down! I'm here for an interview, I'm innocent!" The life-and-death reversal shocked Tang Yu silly.
Ye Sihan spoke, his voice deep and cold, merciless, "Do you think threatening me with someone insignificant will work?"
The man screamed, "Don't push me too hard, I might..."
Nobody saw clearly what happened, the movement was a blur, followed by a bang and the man's cries of agony.
Tang Yu was thrown aside by the impact, her back crashing against the hard wall, feeling dizzy.
Looking up, Ye Sihan remained seated with his leg crossed, the same immovable posture, only with a controlled item in his hand—a black handgun. The man on the floor was intermittently wailing, a bloody hole in his arm gushing blood.
The knife that had been pressed against her carotid artery lay a meter away.
Tang Yu belatedly felt her own neck, thankfully, her head was still there.
Ye Sihan left without a sideways glance, coldly instructing, "Handle it."
The bodyguards from outside came in, dragging the man on the floor away like a dead dog, leaving a trail of blood that was shocking to see.
Tang Yu believed that this 'handling' was definitely not sending him to the hospital, but rather silencing him permanently.
She wanted to scream, "My neck had a knife against it, how could you shoot so recklessly, you could easily have hurt me, you know?"
But she didn't dare, even her palms were sweating cold, her face turning white.
Because if her accidental death really did occur, the worst outcome would be just another body to bury.
"It looks like your job opportunity just went down the drain."
Tang Yu's soul returned to her body, and she looked at the man in front of her, who really hit the mark.
"I'm Xiao Yu, Mr. Night's secretary. Can I take a look at your resume?" Xiao Yu asked.
Tang Yu handed him her resume.
Xiao Yu glanced at it and asked, "You didn't graduate from college? Why did you stop studying?"
"Fell on hard times..." Tang Yu couldn't say too much.
Xiao Yu didn't press further, returning her resume, saying, "Go work at KING Group. Interested?"
"What?" Tang Yu was surprised.
Of course, she knew what KING Group was, having checked on the computer; it represented authority, power, wealth, and capability in the capital. It wasn't a place just anyone could go to.
Was he sure he looked at my resume?
"You heard me right."
"I... I refuse." If it wasn't for that one-night stand three years ago, no, to be precise, if it wasn't for the children born from it, she would have been overjoyed to receive such an invitation, probably even waking from her dreams laughing. But she couldn't wish more to stay away from Ye Sihan! "Mainly because I lack the ability."
"You don't really think I'm interested in your ability, do you?" Xiao Yu pointed out the harsh reality.
Tang Yu was puzzled, then for what reason?
Her gaze fell upon the pool of blood on the floor, and she instantly realized this was not a job offer, but a threat.
"You can rest assured, I won't say a word."
"Verbal guarantees are meaningless. Stay at KING Group for a month, and if the issue remains undisclosed, then you can leave. This is my business card."
Tang Yu accepted it with a confused mind.
"Report within three days. Goodbye."
When Tang Yu looked up, the person was already gone, leaving only the empty corridor and the thick scent of blood in it.
Not daring to linger, she quickly ran off.
She couldn't believe that she just came for a job interview, how did she get involved in such a situation?
But it will all be over in a month, right?
After a day of contemplation, Tang Yu still went to KING Group.
The sheer grandeur and towering presence of the building's exterior left her dizzy with awe, an imposing and dominant force that intimidated the soul.
Tang Yu approached the reception, "Hello, I am Tang Yu, here to report for duty today, directed by Secretary Xiao."
The receptionist glanced at her and came around the desk, "Please follow me."
Not being refused indicated that a notice had been given in advance.
She had thought she would meet Xiao Yu, but it turned out to be the reception manager instead.
The male manager, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and having a plump figure, looked her up and down, "I don't know how you got into KING Group, but here, if you make a mistake, everyone is treated equally. Don't think you can do whatever you want just because you look somewhat attractive. Understand?"
That gaze made Tang Yu quite uncomfortable.
This first step had tested her secrecy, so she could not argue and had to let misunderstandings be.
"Yes."
Tang Yu put on her work uniform and stood at her internship position.
The position was indeed meticulously arranged.
As long as someone entered the group and passed by here, they could see her at first glance, keeping an eye on her every word and action.
Just as she had stood there for a short while, she saw a black car driving up to the door through the glass entrance, a Rolls-Royce.
The security staff respectfully opened the car door, revealing strikingly long legs stepping out, and the man from inside disembarked, his profound and sharp aura spreading out, pressing upon the hearts of everyone.
Ye Sihan walked in the front, his steps firm, followed by Xiao Yu heading towards the elevator.
When Ye Sihan's dark eyes fell upon the new face at the reception, they became quietly profound and knowing.
Tang Yu's pupils shrank back, and she hurriedly shifted her gaze.
After the elevator doors closed, Ye Sihan spoke in a low voice, "An unnecessary move."
"She saw what she shouldn't have. Just in case."
Tang Yu showed no change, earnestly fulfilling her duties at her position.
If it wasn't for a secret that couldn't be told, she really would have liked to perform well and stay here.
The manager informed her about her salary, which was unbelievably high, the maximum offered by other companies.
Fortunately, it wasn't for nothing.
Since the pay was good, she would still do her duty. After enduring a month, she would leave! After all, she knew what was more important!
When her colleague went to the restroom, Tang Yu glanced down at the reception regulations, and upon looking up, she saw a dazzling woman walking in, heading straight for the elevator as if it were her own home.
Tang Yu quickly went over, "Hello, may I know who you are looking for?"
