Chapter 310 You Don't Understand, This is Called a Sense of Ritual
Both interests and security must be taken into account.
You can't have the life to live but no money to spend, or have money but no life to spend it.
“Okay.” Qin Luofeng knew his concerns and didn’t urge him further. “But don’t take too long to consider it. We need a long-term plan.”
Qin Muchuan's expression turned serious: "Understood."
Qin Luofeng stood up and walked out.
Qin Muchuan watched his retreating figure and asked, "Will Huo Zhizhou find out about this?"
"No." Qin Luofeng had carefully planned beforehand, taking several detours. "At most, he can find out that the collateral branches have something to do with Jiang Ruan's existence, but he can't trace it back to us."
"That's fine then." Qin Muchuan was slightly relieved.
Jiang Ruan arrived at the Qin Group more than forty minutes later.
After parking the car, Tang Bai considerately opened the door for her and made a particularly gentlemanly gesture: "Miss, please get out of the car."
Mo Mo: "Fancy and gaudy."
Tang Bai: "You don't understand, this is called a sense of ritual."
Jiang Ruan: "..."
How can they even start arguing about this?
Mo Mo seemed to have a switch flipped when she met Tang Bai: "Now that the young lady is the boss, the boss's atmosphere and aura should be serious, capable, and efficient."
“That’s a stereotype,” Tang Bai said, closing the car door after Jiang Ruan got out. “Being a boss is a status, not a personality trait.”
Jiang Ruan glanced at him.
Tang Bai seized the opportunity to ask, "Is that right, Miss?"
Jiang Ruan: "Mm."
Mo Mo frowned almost imperceptibly.
He seems to have discovered something incredible.
Ever since Tang Bai joined his and his boss's regular team, his boss has stopped pampering him.
“Boss.” He was a man who dared to speak the truth, his dark eyes filled with sincerity. “I’ve noticed a flaw in you.”
"What?" Jiang Ruan turned her eyes to the side.
Mo Mo said with a serious face: "You are easily fooled."
Jiang Ruan: "?"
Mo Mo said, word by word, "Tang Bai has only been a driver for half a day, and you've already started to believe in him, admire him, and approve of him. That's not right."
"That's easy to say. Miss appreciates, approves of, and trusts me because I'm trustworthy and a good person." Tang Bai smoothly took over the conversation, speaking with utmost naturalness. "The bodyguard position I held for the previous two months was for evaluation, and the driver position I've been using for this half-day is for getting to know you."
Jiang Ruan: "Yes."
Mo Mo stared at her.
That look seemed to say: You see, you subconsciously lean towards him.
Jiang Ruan somehow understood what he meant, and not knowing what to say, she changed the subject, saying, "Let's go up first, we'll talk about it later."
No sooner had he finished speaking than a simply dressed middle-aged man rushed over.
"You're the one who ran over and killed my son with your car!"
"I don't care how rich or powerful you are, I'm going to get justice for my son today!"
He took the knife and slashed at Jiang Ruan's side.
The incident happened quickly, but that didn't stop passersby from raising their phones to watch.
"Dad!" Tang Bai quickly stopped him, deftly disarming him. "Didn't I tell you to stay home and rest? Why are you out again?"
Middle-aged man: "?"
The person in the crowd, ready to coordinate at any moment: "?"
Jiang Ruan: "?"
"If you keep doing this, I'll have no choice but to send you back to the mental hospital." Tang Bai held down his wrist, not giving him a chance to move. "Even if Mom and my sister cry and beg me, I won't let you out."
"Who's your dad!" The middle-aged man finally came to his senses after being held captive for a minute. "Let me go!"
"When you forced me to release him, didn't you say you'd keep an eye on him?" Tang Bai's gaze fell on the middle-aged woman and the girl in her early twenties in the crowd. "Is this your idea of keeping him?"
"We..." the two stammered.
They exchanged a glance.
Only one question was on my mind: Who is this person? Do they know him?
“If he really hurts someone, he may not be convicted due to his mental illness, but you, as those who are in charge of him, will pay the price.” Tang Bai said with great seriousness, “Why don’t you send him back now?”
A middle-aged man would argue back.
Tang Bai lowered his voice and said to him calmly, "Something unexpected has happened, the plan is canceled."
The middle-aged man froze, staring at him.
Tang Bai: "Later I will push you in front of the two of them, and you can tell them about this."
Middle-aged man: "?"
Was he really sent by the leader?
"Miss, you go up first." Tang Bai gave them a wink. "I'll come up after I finish dealing with my family matters."
"Do you need help?" Jiang Ruan's mind was racing with thoughts after what had just happened.
"No need," Tang Bai refused. "I can manage on my own."
Jiang Ruan cooperated with him: "Call if needed."
Tang Bai: "Mm."
Jiang Ruan and Mo Mo looked back every few steps before finally entering the gate of the Huo Group.
Tang Bai looked at the three people who were in a daze, first told the people around to disperse, and then stared at the three of them.
"Didn't you just call to discuss the operation?" The middle-aged man, his previous madness gone, frowned and asked seriously, "Why did you change your mind again?"
"You're asking me?" Tang Bai pulled out a rope from somewhere and tied his hands behind his back.
Middle-aged man: ???
He was completely bewildered: "What are you doing?"
"If you're going to put on an act, go all the way." After tying him up, Tang Bai pushed him to the other two, his gaze sweeping over their faces to memorize their features. "With so many people watching just now, there might be someone filming the rest in the shadows."
The two men immediately rushed over and restrained the middle-aged man.
Tang Bai took out his phone and tapped a few times: "The car will be here soon, please wait a moment."
The three of them, intimidated by his composed demeanor, subconsciously obeyed him: "Okay."
Ten minutes later.
The police car arrived.
Tang Bai handed the three of them over to the police: "Officer, this man just attacked my boss with a knife and almost hurt him. The three of them are accomplices."
The three of them: "???"
“This is the evidence.” Tang Bai showed the police the footage that Mo Mo had secretly filmed. “I also recorded their conversation when they admitted they were accomplices.”
"You're not one of the leader's people!" The middle-aged man's anger overwhelmed him, and he blurted out the words.
The other two glanced at him, saying they were more trouble than they were worth.
Then, looking pitiful, he told the police, "Officers, we don't know any of them."
"Whether you recognize him or not, we'll find out when we come back to the station for questioning." The three police officers, in a businesslike manner, reviewed the evidence in Tang Bai's hand and then asked, "Would it be convenient for you to come to the police station with us to give a statement?"
“It’s convenient,” Tang Bai said, “but I need to tell my boss first.”
The policeman nodded slightly: "Okay."
Tang Bai opened Jiang Ruan's contact information and promptly asked for leave.
When Jiang Ruan received the message, she was already sitting in the Qin Group's reception room, with coffee brought in by Secretary Wen in front of her: "President Qin will be here soon, please have a seat for a moment."
"Okay," Jiang Ruan replied.
After Secretary Wen left, Jiang Ruan took out her phone to check.
Upon seeing the above content, she frowned slightly and looked at Mo Mo beside her: "Why did Tang Bai go to the police station?"
"Instead of guessing who orchestrated this later, let's leave it to the police to investigate." Mo Mo and Tang Bai shared a certain understanding: "It's less trouble, less time-consuming, and less complicated."
Jiang Ruan nodded.
That makes sense.
but……
Thinking about how Mo Mo quickly pulled out her phone when Tang Bai stopped that man, she became more suspicious: "You guessed Tang Bai would do that all along?"
The moment Tang Bai called out "Dad" as the man rushed up, her mind went blank for several seconds.
It wasn't until Mo Mo took out her phone that I realized this might be a staged performance.
