Back To The 80s: President's Doted Wife

Chapter 298: Chapter 298: His Code Name is Thousand Foxes

Cheng Su set the phone down and stuck out her tongue at it, muttering to herself. If her mother-in-law hadn’t scolded her so unreasonably, would she ever have talked back to her? And this was over the phone; was she supposed to act like a meek daughter-in-law?

Pah!

However, the thought of her mother-in-law’s impending visit made Cheng Su’s head throb with pain. It was a timeless struggle to get along with one’s mother-in-law, and hers was not an enlightened one.

Enough of that, she thought. When the soldiers come, block them; when the flood comes, use earth to hold it back. As a modern woman of the twenty-first century, could she really not handle an old lady?

Without delay, Cheng Su entrusted the restaurant to Qiulan and the others and rushed off to the factory.

The goods that were to be sent to Beijing needed to be rushed out in the next two days. She had to keep a close eye on the process. Afterward, she still had to go into town to buy some things—she had to make arrangements for her in-laws’ stay at her home, after all!

Upon arriving at the company, Cheng Su dressed appropriately before inspecting the operation room. After multiple iterations of training and practice, the staff there had become quite proficient in the process of making the sauce.

”Check everything carefully, any spoiled strawberries must be picked out,” she said.

Since the goods were being sent for diplomatic review, Cheng Su was very strict about this batch. But regardless of the destination, she didn’t use spoiled strawberries at all because they would ruin the overall flavor of the sauce.

After making a round of inspections around her, Cheng Su caught sight of Zhao Da and asked, ”Has President Ning not arrived yet?”

Zhao Da shook his head: ”President Ning hasn’t shown up yet!”

Cheng Su frowned and muttered, ”What has this kid been up to these past few days, elusive like a dragon.”

Where was Ning Ge? At that moment, he had cornered a bearded man in a secluded alleyway, glaring at him fiercely.

”Cang Ying, you’re indeed alive, it really is you!” Ning Ge clenched his fist, teeth gritted, as he stared at the man across from him.

The man known as Cang Ying glanced around and said, ”Thousand Foxes, what do you want?”

”Come back with me to the organization, and explain yourself to the brothers,” Ning Ge said through gritted teeth.

Cang Ying laughed: ”On the records, I’m already a dead man. What explanation do I need to give? Naive!”

”Cang Ying!” Ning Ge’s eyes bulged: ”Three lives, brothers who’ve been through life and death together, died by your hands. Is that it? You’re the one who betrayed us!”

Cang Ying’s eyes flickered, and he replied, ”Thousand Foxes, let’s not point fingers. I’m no good guy—are you? As I recall, isn’t your elder brother a high-ranking Chief?”

Ning Ge’s face darkened: ”What do you mean by that?”

With a cold smile, Cang Ying moved along the corner of the wall and said, ”With or without me, they would have died. They knew too much. You survived because your surname is Ning.”

”You’re talking nonsense!” Ning Ge’s face turned pale.

”Why not investigate it yourself? The slogan of Thousand Foxes wasn’t for nothing,” said Cang Ying with a slow smile. ”Despite having the army’s protection, Cang Lang and the others still died in action. Why do you think that is? Who benefits from those leaks being exposed?”

”You’re full of shit! My brother has no idea I’m...”

”He might not know, but does the Chief not know?” Cang Ying interrupted him, saying, ”I deceived you guys because I was forced to; I never imagined things would turn out this way. If there’s anyone to blame, it’s the army.”

Ning Ge’s face was a picture of unpredictable emotions.

”If I were you, I’d investigate why the order came down from above. I’m sorry.” Cang Ying suddenly said, unleashing a kick at Ning Ge, sending him flying to one side, and then quickly fled the alley.

Ning Ge spat out a mouthful of blood but didn’t pursue. Cang Ying’s words echoed in his mind.
