Hearing Lu Chennan's question, Qiao Shinian also felt a little strange.

If it was just a simple report of the itinerary, Secretary Hao shouldn't have been so frightened.

So, what she was involved in might be a bit serious.

As expected, Secretary Hao became even more frightened when he saw Lu Chennan's rare stern look.

She said in a trembling voice, "One time, when I brought you coffee, I heard you telling Mr. Huo that you wanted to check the relationship between Miss Qiao's friend and Bai Yiyi. I told Bai Yiyi about it..."

When Lu Chennan heard this, he really remembered that Huo Yanci specifically asked him to check whether Cheng Wanxin and Bai Yiyi had any private dealings.

After careful investigation, he found that Cheng Wanxin and Bai Yiyi had met and contacted each other, but there was no direct financial dealings.

Because of this incident, he suspected that Bai Yiyi was playing a trick by taking the wrong medicine at the villa. Later, he heard from Brother Ci that Bai Yiyi took the initiative to clear Qiao Shinian of suspicion.

Lu Chennan always felt it was strange. If Bai Yiyi had framed Qiao Shinian, why would she find out the truth for Qiao Shinian?

It turned out that Bai Yiyi had known through her secretary that he was investigating her, so she responded in that way.

Qiao Shinian also remembered from Secretary Hao's words that Huo Yanci once told her that he asked Lu Chennan to investigate Bai Yiyi and Cheng Wanxin, and he also questioned Bai Yiyi.

But she didn't believe Huo Yanci at all at that time. She thought he was just trying to please her and even seemed to be sarcastic towards him.

Now that I think about it, there were too many conflicts between me and Huo Yanci because of Bai Yiyi.

Even though Bai Yiyi was locked up in a mental hospital, Qiao Shinian still felt a lingering fear. Bai Yiyi's mind was really deep and vicious.

Secretary Hao continued to apologize, saying that he regretted his past behavior and begged for their forgiveness.

Lu Chennan looked at the woman with a red forehead and said, "People die for money, and birds die for food. It's abominable that you tipped off Bai Yiyi, but it's not a heinous crime. Why are you so scared that you have to come to us to confess your crime?"

Normal people will try every means to hide and deny the truth before being found out.

Secretary Hao not only took the initiative to admit his mistake, but also looked worried about being harmed.

"Who forced you to come to us?" Qiao Shinian also asked.

Secretary Hao shook his head. "No one forced me to come to you. I just wanted to admit my mistake to you..."

No one will believe this.

"Since you just want to admit your mistake, now that you've done so, you can leave." Lu Chennan said bluntly.

Secretary Hao was stunned when she heard this, and then she begged, "Mr. Lu, in addition to apologizing, I would like to ask you to do me a favor..."

"What's the deal?"

"Please ask Mr. Huo for a favor and ask him to let me resign..."

Hearing this, Qiao Shinian was slightly surprised.

The Huo Group is one of the best in the industry in terms of salary and employee benefits. Many people are scrambling to get in. It would be fine if Secretary Hao just wanted to resign, but he actually had to beg someone for help like this?

Lu Chennan also frowned, "It's just a resignation, why don't you follow the normal procedures?"

At this point, Secretary Hao no longer concealed the truth and said that although Huo Yanci had never said anything about her and Bai Yiyi, she had been transferred to another position since Bai Yiyi was put in a mental hospital.

Her position was not a normal secretarial job, but she was promoted to the head of the company's life counseling department. She was mainly responsible for the psychological problems encountered by employees at work and helping everyone solve some life difficulties.

She also signed a contract and received professional training before taking office.

Recently, the company wanted to send a counselor to look after Bozhou’s former director Bai Yiyi, and this task fell on her.

She was shocked to realize that her promotion might not be a recognition, but a deliberate arrangement.

But because she has signed the contract, she cannot resign at the moment, otherwise she will have to pay a huge amount of compensation.

Not to mention that she couldn't come up with the money. If she really left the Huo family in this way, people outside would speculate that she had offended Huo Yanci, and she would probably have no place to stay in Haicheng.

"Mr. Lu, Miss Qiao, I heard that Bai Yiyi has serious violent tendencies. I can't go to take care of her, and I dare not get close to her!" Secretary Hao started crying again.

Lu Chennan finally understood that after the incident in Country T, Brother Ci had investigated Bai Yiyi in detail.

It is estimated that they discovered the unusual dealings between Bai Yiyi and Secretary Hao, and used this method as a punishment for Secretary Hao.

"Whether you resign or not is an internal matter of the Huo Group. I'm afraid I don't have the power to interfere." Lu Chennan said directly.

Secretary Hao saw that Lu Chennan was not able to do anything, so he hugged Qiao Shinian's legs again, "Ms. Qiao, please help me..."

"I just delivered messages for Miss Bai a few times, and I didn't do anything harmful. I heard that the person who took care of Bai Yiyi before has died. I'm afraid she may have harmed me..."

Qiao Shinian looked at the trembling Secretary Hao and then realized the reason for her fear.

Qiao Shinian would definitely not interfere in the affairs of the Huo Group.

However, she just didn't know whether Bai Yiyi's mental disorder was real or not. If Secretary Hao went over to look after her, he should be able to find out the truth.

So Qiao Shinian said, "You helped the tyrant and gained benefits, and you still want us 'victims' to plead for you? I can't repay evil with kindness. I don't have such a broad mind. I prefer to repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge."

"So, if you want me to help you, it's not impossible, but the prerequisite is that you help me first."

Under Secretary Hao's hopeful eyes, Qiao Shinian told her about the truth.

Although Lu Chennan was present, Qiao Shinian had no intention of avoiding him.

Huo Yanci will find out sooner or later anyway, so it makes no difference whether he hides it or not.

After hearing what Qiao Shinian said, Secretary Hao looked hesitant.

She just wanted to leave the Huo Group as soon as possible and never have anything to do with the people and things here again.

But the people she offended by delivering the message were not easy to deal with.

Instead of living in fear all the time, she might as well choose to agree to Qiao Shinian - at least she would be a supporter.

Huo Yanci's attitude towards Qiao Shinian was indeed not very good before, but in recent months, she has clearly seen how much Huo Yanci values ​​Qiao Shinian.

If she pleases Qiao Shinian, it is equivalent to pleasing Huo Yanci, so she will not have to worry about Bai Yiyi anymore.

Thinking of this, Secretary Hao nodded quickly and thanked Qiao Shinian for the opportunity.

Lu Chennan on the side tactfully did not comment.

Qiao Shinian didn't believe that Bai Yiyi was normal, and he didn't quite believe it either.

And Brother Ci, I don’t know what he is thinking!

Didn't he hate Bai Yiyi so much? Why didn't he send her to prison and sentence her as normal? Instead, he detained her in a mental hospital and sent someone to look after her?

But now Brother Ci is missing and there is no one to complain to.

What's even more difficult is that Lu Chennan didn't dare to say anything more in front of Qiao Shinian, for fear that if he said something wrong by accident, the relationship between Qiao Shinian and Brother Ci would become worse.

Qiao Shinian didn't know about Lu Chennan's dilemma, so she asked Secretary Hao to sit down and talk.

Just at this moment, her cell phone rang.
