Honest Beta gets scammed

What kind of requirement is this?

Xu Shi was full of questions. He exchanged glances with several medical staff around him, and they all saw confusion in each other's eyes.

But the waiter in front of them had a serious expression and a firm look in his eyes, as if he wouldn't let them take the person away without seeing the call log.

It's still unclear what He Xiangchen's exact situation is. Xu Shi didn't want to get into a pointless argument with a waiter in this kind of place, so he took out his phone from his suit pocket, unlocked it, pulled up the call log, and handed it to Li Qing.

Li Qing immediately leaned over to examine it closely.

The latest call log on the screen reads: Mr. He, call time: 30 minutes ago.

Mr. He?

Li Qing paused for a moment, pondering the form of address.

He sounds like a leader, so it seems He Xiangchen holds a position in his family's company.

Thinking of this, he breathed a slight sigh of relief, slowly stepped aside, and watched as the medical staff took He Xiangchen away.

Xu Shi put away his phone and prepared to follow, but just as he took a step, someone gently tugged at the hem of his clothes.

He turned around and saw Li Qing standing behind him.

"Is there anything else?"

Xu Shi was eager to know He Xiangchen's situation, and he was getting impatient with Li Qing wasting his time. However, his good professionalism kept him polite on the surface.

Li Qing approached mysteriously, lowered his voice, and whispered, "Um, is he still working at their company?"

What's the problem?

Where else could Mr. He be if he's not working at the He Group?

Xu Shi glanced at Li Qing with surprise, but still nodded: "Of course."

Wow!

Upon hearing this, Li Qing's expression improved considerably.

This means that He Xiangchen's situation at home is not at its worst yet, and he has not been completely kicked out of the company, which means there is still a chance!

He swallowed hard, and seeing that Xu Shi was about to leave, he grabbed the other man's sleeve again.

Xu Shi turned his head away expressionlessly.

Li Qing lowered her voice and asked softly, "So, does that guy usually target him at work?"

Who is that?

Who is that person?

Who dares to target He Xiangchen within the He Group?

Xu Shi narrowed his eyes at Li Qing's mysterious "you know what I mean" expression, but still patiently answered.

"...As far as I know, there shouldn't be anyone like that."

Hmm, it seems this assistant doesn't trust me.

Li Qing expressed her understanding.

That makes sense. After all, Assistant Xu is on He Xiangchen's side, which means he's a member of the "Xiangchen faction." Of course, he has to protect his boss's face at all times. How could he possibly admit to outsiders that his boss has been bullied?

Seeing his strange expression, Xu Shi felt even more confused. He glanced at the medical team that had already disappeared and really didn't want to delay any longer. He turned to leave, but unexpectedly, his clothes were tugged for the third time.

"Sir!"

Xu Shi turned his head abruptly, his voice rising several decibels, "What exactly do you want?!"

The medical staff had almost disappeared, but he was being pulled back by this waiter again and again, and he was really getting angry!

Seeing that he was unhappy, Li Qing realized that she had offended him a bit, so she awkwardly let go of his hand and gave a dry laugh.

"Oh, um, excuse me, I just wanted to remind you that he was in a really bad state just now. You guys need to keep a close eye on him when you get back, and make sure that... that illegitimate child doesn't take advantage of the situation!"

In the end, fearing that Xu Shi might not believe him, he added a sentence.

"Don't worry! I'm very tight-lipped, I definitely won't tell anyone!"

Xu Shi had already become impatient and turned to leave when Li Qing was halfway through his speech, but Li Qing's mention of an illegitimate child made him freeze in mid-air.

illegitimate child?!

Xu Shi turned around, his eyes wide like copper bells, staring at Li Qing in shock.

Does the He family have any illegitimate children? How come he didn't know?

He carefully observed Li Qing's expression. Seeing that it seemed genuine, Xu Shi blinked, slowly walked back, moved closer to Li Qing, and whispered.

"Did Mr. He tell you this?"

Li Qing immediately put on an expression that said, "We're on the same side," and nodded.

Xu Shi was deeply shocked.

He went through all the ups and downs of the He family in recent years in his mind, but he couldn't remember when there had been any scandal involving an illegitimate child!

Could it be that Mr. He is keeping it from him?

Why would Mr. He tell such an important matter to a club waiter?

Xu Shi frowned, glanced at Li Qing, and considered for a moment.

Should we just knock this person out and take him away?

But he quickly rejected the idea.

Mr. He always has his own considerations when doing things, and there must be a reason why he did it this way.

Thinking of this, Xu Shi put on a professional smile again and spoke gently.

"Sir, let's exchange contact information. Please don't tell anyone about this matter. This... is indeed an internal matter of the He family."

"Of course, I definitely won't tell anyone!"

Upon hearing this, Li Qing immediately took out his phone and readily provided his contact information.

Xu Shi glanced at the red tractor that had suddenly appeared in his friend list, his lips twitched, he took a deep breath, nodded to Li Qing, and then turned around and quickly chased after the medical team.

Li Qing watched his figure disappear into the elevator, still feeling sorry for He Xiangchen.

The next second I suddenly realized I was still at work!

Li Qing's expression hardened, and he forgot all his sentiments, taking off running towards the staff elevator.

When he returned to the work station, panting, the peak check-out period had already begun, and staff were pushing trolleys back and forth in the corridor.

Liu Yu had just finished cleaning up a private room when she came out and immediately saw Li Qing.

"Hey, where have you been? I've been looking for you for ages!"

Liu Yu had noticed that Li Qing was missing earlier. He first called people to look for her, only to find that Li Qing's phone was left in the lounge. He tried calling her on the walkie-talkie but no one answered. He thought something had happened to Li Qing.

Seeing Li Qing appear unharmed, I finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Li Qing scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly: "Oh, something happened, sorry."

"It's alright."

Liu Yu didn't ask any further questions, but instead said, "Is your walkie-talkie broken? I called you several times and you didn't respond!"

Is the walkie-talkie broken?

Li Qing was stunned for a moment; he remembered that everything had been fine before.

He took the walkie-talkie off his shoulder, pressed the call button, and tried to say a few words. Sure enough, it didn't work at all.

Li Qing was a little puzzled. "Ah, it seems to be really broken. I'll ask Brother Zhang to replace it later."

Liu Yu nodded and was called away by the pager again. Seeing this, Li Qing quickly joined in the busy work.

Two days passed like this.

Zhang Chen sat in his office.

He crossed his legs, holding a black walkie-talkie in his hand—the very one Li Qing had broken before. After glancing at it a few times, he casually tossed it into the trash can.

It was all caused by a pheromone attack.

It's already scrapped.

He blindly bet on He Xiangchenqian's hand.
