Chapter 95 Loyalty and Integrity, Don't You Understand?

"Although I would love to have coffee with Mr. Jason, I'm sorry, I can't have coffee right now."

Anmin smiled and politely declined Jason's request. She walked past Jason to leave, but Jason grabbed her arm.

"It's alright, coffee is secondary, I have something to say to Mrs. Liang."

After Jason finished speaking, two men walked up behind him, looking like they were threatening Anmin.

Looking at the two tall and imposing men, Anmin knew she had no choice but to agree.

Anmin struggled to free her arms, but Jason's fingers gripped her like iron clamps.

She looked up at Jason, the composed smile from before vanished, replaced by a chilling coldness in her eyes.

"Mr. Jason, is this what you call gentlemanly conduct in your country—forcibly detaining a lady?"

Jason seemed not to hear her, and turned to the side, gesturing for her to proceed, his posture very firm.

"Mrs. Liang is a smart woman. Let's talk somewhere else. It will be better for both you and Commander Liang."

The two men behind him took a half step forward, their shadows almost completely enveloping Anmin.

Anmin took a deep breath, knowing that confronting him head-on would only put her in a more passive position.

She composed herself and said, "Since Mr. Jason has important matters to discuss, I can give you ten minutes. But this is my husband's camp, so please behave yourself."

"Mrs. Liang, there's no need to worry."

Jason interrupted her, a meaningful smile playing on his lips.

"I just want to talk to you about something more realistic."

A car was parked not far away. Jason led Anmin over and pushed a document in front of her. The symbols printed on the cover were particularly glaring.

His eyes gleamed with calculation.

"If Mrs. Liang does me a small favor and finds a way to get Commander Liang to allow our people to enter the restricted area to assist in the investigation, then this amount will double after it's done."

An Min glanced down at the document, then suddenly chuckled, "Mr. Jason, are you mistaken? I'm not some big shot, and I can't influence my husband's decisions."

"Mrs. Liang is too modest."

Jason leaned against the car, sporting what he thought was a very charming expression.

“Yesterday in the conference room, you helped Commander Liang out of a tight spot with just one sentence. I can tell that you know how to be flexible better than him.”

The implication in his eyes was obvious.

An Min looked directly at Jason and said, word by word, "Being flexible doesn't mean having no bottom line. Loyalty and integrity are ingrained in the bones of us Chinese."

She pushed the documents back, her tone icy, leaving no room for change: "You should keep this money to buy a coffin for your missing professor."

Anmin suddenly seemed to remember something and added, "Oh, wait, I heard that your country's laws emphasize human rights, so perhaps we should hire a good lawyer for him first."

Jason's face darkened instantly, his previous gentle facade shattering completely: "Mrs. Liang, don't push your luck. Do you think Liang Yi can protect you forever?"

"If I don't trust my husband, should I trust you?"

"You're like a jumping clown."

After saying that, Anmin left.

Jason's approach to her this time is definitely not a good sign.

Thinking of this, An Min turned around halfway and went to find Liang Yi.

Jason watched Anmin's retreating figure, crumpled the documents in his hand into a ball, and threw them away.

I originally thought that if I could use money to get the two of them to compromise, some things would be much easier to handle.

Unfortunately, they were too clueless.

After hearing what An Min said, Liang Yi carefully examined An Min.

"Are you OK?"

"What could possibly be wrong with me? Did you understand what I just said?"

Seeing Liang Yi's nervous expression, An Min reached out and pulled him to sit down. "We interrogated him all night last night, but he's too stubborn. However, it's only a matter of time. After today, he definitely won't be able to hold out."

With Liang Yi's words, An Min felt relieved.

"After you get off work today, I'll take you home so you don't get blocked on the way again."

Liang Yi reached out and touched An Min's hair.

Jason actually dared to ambush him at his doorstep; he's got a death wish.

Thinking of this, a hint of ruthlessness appeared on Liang Yi's face.

An Min nodded, indicating that she wouldn't let Liang Yi see her off; he would come on his own.

When Anmin arrived at the Women's Federation, she heard the people inside discussing the events of the past few days.

"Comrade An, you've arrived. We heard that we arrested someone here... Is it true?"

Most of the colleagues at the Women's Federation are middle-aged women, the age when they love doing things in the lobby the most.

Wang Weiguo's matter has caused quite a stir. Although it hasn't become a major public uproar, most people have heard about it to some extent.

"Who knows? We'll all find out soon enough."

But Anmin can't say much. This matter is still confidential. If she were to reveal it, wouldn't she want to die?
Sitting in the corner, Lin Mei snorted coldly: "She's the regimental commander's wife, different from us. Even if she knew, she wouldn't tell us."

Upon hearing Lin Mei's words, everyone took a step back.

Lin Mei's husband died in the line of duty years ago, and ever since then, her personality has become increasingly eccentric.

He doesn't get along well with others on a regular basis, and his words are often sharp and sarcastic.

Chunli, who was close to Anmin, reached out and patted Anmin on the shoulder.

"Ignore her. She's always being sarcastic and unfriendly. We know this is a secret."

Comforted by Chunli, Anmin smiled and agreed.

"I don't know much about this matter. I dare not say anything more before the official announcement from above."

Chunli nodded in understanding.

When An Min finished get off work in the afternoon, Liang Yi arrived early to wait. When he saw An Min come out, he took a few steps forward and helped her up.

"Liang Tuan came to pick up Minmin from get off work? How thoughtful of him, I'm so envious."

Chunli looked at the two of them, her face full of good-natured teasing.

"Sister Chunli, Commander Liang is known for doting on his wife. Alright, let's go."

No matter how much everyone joked around, their words were all well-intentioned, but another untimely voice came from behind them.

"I heard that foreigner contacted Comrade An, wanting to use money..."

"Comrade Lin, be careful with your words. You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

An Min turned her head and looked at Lin Mei with sharp eyes.

“I won’t say much about you targeting me normally, but who are you trying to hurt by saying things like this?”

Her words successfully interrupted Lin Mei's ill-intentioned remarks.

When everyone heard Lin Mei say that, they all looked at her with disdain.

"Lin Mei, if you're jealous of Comrade An, just say so. You're so petty, always being sarcastic and mean."

"That's right, Lin Mei, Comrade An didn't provoke you."

Chunli stood on the steps and refuted Lin Mei.

Everyone knows that Lin Mei has always targeted An Min because of her background.

She looked down on Anmin, but had to admit Anmin's work ability.

They are also jealous of others' successful careers and happy families.

But no matter what, you can't say that someone...did that kind of thing for money, that's despicable.
