Possessive & Addicted: The CEO Could Never Let Her Go
Chapter 856: Pleading for Leniency
"And I found you suspicious, that’s why I followed you... Even if he didn’t kill you, you might have been forced by him... Where are you crying now?"
Firebird ruthlessly analyzed the events of the night, making her understand the nature of the danger.
After regaining her composure, Xue Xiangtong also realized the severity of the incident.
But it shouldn’t have reached the point of losing her job!
When she wanted to plead with Firebird, he just waved his hand, indicating that she didn’t need to say anything more.
Xue Xiangtong was somewhat upset, and the next day she went to the set.
Mu Anhan saw her coming over dispiritedly and asked what was wrong with her.
Xue Xiangtong didn’t hide anything from her good friend and recounted what had happened the previous night.
What she didn’t know was that Mu Anhan was terrified after hearing it.
She didn’t expect Xue Xiangtong to actually go into danger by herself?
Fortunately, Firebird noticed something amiss in time and rescued Xue Xiangtong, otherwise, the consequences of this incident would have left Mu Anhan uneasy for a lifetime.
"Tong Tong, it’s not that I’m blaming you, but with such a big thing, why didn’t you report to the team? Not only would the captain punish you, but if it were me, I would also punish you harshly."
Mu Anhan was also extremely furious.
She had always had some objections about Firebird, but this time, after he saved Xue Xiangtong, her view of Firebird changed 180 degrees.
If she had known earlier, Mu Anhan would have sent that evidence to Firebird.
Xue Xiangtong immediately admitted fault, "Han Han, please don’t scold me anymore, the captain has already scolded me harshly, I already know my mistake."
"That’s why you should listen to the captain, conduct a thorough review, and reflect deeply on your mistakes," Mu Anhan said, looking at her.
There was still an aura of justice in Xue Xiangtong, "It’s all because of that cunning criminal, I just want to catch him personally now. Otherwise, this matter will make it impossible for me to hold my head high in the police team."
"What’s more important? Reputation or life?" Mu Anhan rolled her eyes.
Having lived a second life, having been reborn once, she knew the despair and pain of losing one’s life, truly with no other solution.
"Han Han, help me, can you talk to our captain for me?" Xue Xiangtong pleaded with her, hands clasped together.
"No." Mu Anhan felt Firebird’s decision was completely correct.
Xue Xiangtong, feeling helpless, was like an eggplant hit by frost, drooping and lifeless. 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺
"Actually, during your break, you could take the opportunity to get to know my Sixth Brother better," Mu Anhan immediately suggested another path.
Xue Xiangtong: "...Let Sixth Brother focus on acting! I’m leaving now."
Mu Anhan watched her departing figure, worried that she still might not give up.
She took out her phone and sent a message to Firebird.
[Are you free? Can we meet to talk?]
Firebird quickly replied: [I’m free, I’ll head over to you now.]
Despite their last conversation not ending well.
How could he truly let her go?
Firebird soon appeared in her office, "Mrs. Gu, what do you need from me?"
He asked directly, without any emotional lead-up.
"I thank you for saving Tong Tong, and I think you were right to punish her," Mu Anhan acknowledged his ability and contribution, "But, could you let her return to the team?"
Firebird was a bit troubled, "Is this all you wanted to tell me?"
