Chapter 179: From the Wide Bench

Chapter 179 From the Wide BenchThe next morning.

City Z, Jiang Lan's home.

Sitting in the living room, Jiang Lan placed a card on the coffee table.

"There's 137258 million in it, and the password is . You can use this money to do something you like."

Jiang Lan looked at Chen Duo who was sitting next to him and continued, "But you also know your own problem. There will be a strange person watching you 24 hours a day until the poison problem in your body is solved."

Chen Duo was too dangerous, and even Jiang Lan didn't dare to leave her alone outside.

It would be fine if nothing goes wrong, but if something goes wrong, it would definitely be a big problem.

If her poison really affected too many ordinary people, not to mention Jiang Lan, even the gods would not be able to save Chen Duo.

Chen Duo obviously also knew that Jiang Lan was doing this for her own good.

After pondering for a while, Chen Duo said:

"I'm not going anywhere. I'm fine right here."

The place where the two are now is not Jiang Lan’s parents’ villa, but Jiang Lan’s 100-square-meter house.

"It's okay, don't be so nervous. Didn't you say that you can control the poison in your body and prevent it from escaping?"

"But..." Chen Duo hesitated to speak.

Jiang Lan interrupted, "Don't think too much. Just eat and drink. I have no objection to you living here, but don't let yourself get suffocated."

Jiang Lan took Chen Duo back not to restrict her freedom.

On the contrary, Jiang Lan wanted to set her free.

But her situation was really special, so if Chen Duo wanted to go out, Jiang Lan had no choice but to ask someone to follow her.

Jiang Lan continued:

"You don't have to worry about other problems. When you are outside, I will only ask someone to follow you secretly. If there is no special situation, I will not disturb you."

Chen Duo's eyes flickered.

After a while, she raised her head and looked at Jiang Lan steadily.

"Why are you... so nice to me?"

Jiang Lan twitched the corner of his mouth.

"Didn't I tell you that we are friends? Isn't it normal to be nice to friends?"

Chen Duo still looked at Jiang Lan and repeated: "Friend..."

"Okay, don't think too much..."

As Jiang Lan was talking, the cell phone he had placed aside suddenly rang.

Reaching out to pick up the phone from the side, Jiang Lan saw the contact on it and pressed the answer button.

"Hello, Xu Si?"

"Brother Lan, where are you?"

"Home." Jiang Lan thought for a moment and added, "My own home."

"Well, is it convenient for you to come over? Something happened over at Ma Xianhong's place."

"Something happened?" Jiang Lan frowned.

Hasn’t Ma Xianhong been taken away by the company’s people? What else could have happened?

Could it be that he was kidnapped?

"The vehicle carrying Ma Xianhong was hijacked."

Jiang Lan: "..."

Why didn’t I realize before that he also has the talent to be a prophet?

"Okay, I'll be there." Jiang Lan glanced at Chen Duo beside him, thought about it, and still didn't say it on the phone, but said, "I'll be there right away."

After saying that, Jiang Lan hung up the phone.

He turned his gaze to Chen Duo, "You stay home for a while. I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon. If you are bored, there are computers and game consoles in the study. The charger is in the drawer next to the computer desk."

"Uh-huh!"

When Chen Duo heard the words computer and game console, his eyes lit up and he nodded repeatedly.

Jiang Lan was still a little worried, "Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, it's okay."

Chen Duo took off his coat, revealing the protective suit underneath, "And with this, nothing will go wrong." "Okay then."

Jiang Lan didn't say anything more. He stood up from the sofa, grabbed a coat and put it on, then pushed the door and went downstairs.

Outside the community, Jiang Lan waved his hand to stop a taxi.

"Everywhere leads to the Z City headquarters."

"okay!"

With the roar of the engine, the taxi shot out like an arrow.

……

five minutes later.

Jiang Lan took the elevator to the second floor.

When Jiang Lan arrived at the door of Xu Si's office and was about to knock, the door was opened from the inside.

Zhang Chulan's head popped out from inside.

"Brother Jiang Lan, you are here."

"Ah."

Jiang Lan agreed and walked into the office.

In the office, Xu San, Xu Si, Feng Baobao and Zhang Chulan were all there, obviously waiting for him.

Xu Si's face looked a little unhappy.

Seeing this, Jiang Lan sat on the sofa and said:

"Ma Xianhong ran away. Shouldn't the board of directors be the ones who should be worried? Why do you look so sad?"

Xu Si raised his head and looked at Jiang Lan with a gloomy face.

"That's the problem. No one except a few people and the escorts knew the route Ma Xianhong took. Even the driver didn't know that the person they were escorting was Ma Xianhong.

"So the company suspected that there was a problem within us."

"Internal problems have nothing to do with us." Zhang Chulan spread his hands. "Fourth brother, you also said that except for the escort and several senior executives of the company's board of directors, no one else knows the escort route of Ma Xianhong. It is even more impossible for us to know."

"I know." Xu Si sat back in his office chair, took out a cigarette from the cigarette box, lit it, and blew out a smoke ring before continuing, "But the problem is that the company is now going to conduct a credibility investigation on you. All temporary workers who participated in the Biyou Village incident will have to take the lenient bench."

"From the wide stool?"

Zhang Chulan was a little confused, "What is that?"

"It's an instrument that can judge whether the subject is lying by the flow of Qi and various body data." Xu Si said: "Just think of it as a lie detector in the shape of a stool."

Zhang Chulan's eyes flickered.

Xu Si continued:

"I don't know what questions the board will ask after I sit on the lenient bench."

As he spoke, Xu Si's face became darker and darker. "So whether to go or not is up to you. If you don't want to go, take Bao'er and run away immediately."

Xu Si said this to Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Chulan was silent for a while.

At this time, Jiang Lan suddenly asked:

"Do I have to go too?"

Xu Si paused, then shook his head and said:

"Apart from the temporary workers, Director Zhao only specifically named Zhang Chulan to go. As for you, he didn't mention it..."

Jiang Lan nodded slightly.

The board of directors is not a monolithic entity and there are also factions within it.

Therefore, even among the board members, not all of them agreed to let Chen Duo go.

If he was also pulled to the wide bench, if someone asked any inappropriate questions, it might lead to other troubles.

When the time comes, it will not end well.

So Jiang Lan was not too surprised about this matter.

"Since the board of directors didn't contact me, why did you call me here in such a hurry?"

Xu Si looked at Jiang Lan, then at Zhang Chulan.

"I'm thinking that if the two of them run away, can you help me take care of them, Brother Lan..."
