Ms. Tan Is The Real Boss

Xiao Mo got out from the driver’s seat and respectfully said to Tan Rou, “Miss Rou, the head of the Zhuang family asked me to come pick you up.”

Tan Rou asked, “Has the person been found?”

“Our people followed that reporter to the front of Hua Yuan Building. The reporter went inside, and we couldn’t follow because we didn’t have an access card,” Xiao Mo replied.

“Hua Yuan Building?” Tan Rou frowned. “There are so many companies inside, it’s going to be very difficult to find someone there.”

Liang Lu said, “That reporter doesn’t look like the mastermind; he might just be following orders. We need to find the person who asked him to take the video.”

Tan Rou said, “Xiao Mo, check if there’s a boss surnamed Zhou in Hua Yuan Building. He might be the one bribing the reporter to spread rumors.”

“Okay, I’ll have someone check right now,” Xiao Mo said. “Miss Rou, do you have other plans now? The head of the Zhuang family has reserved a private room and would like to have a meal with you.”

Tan Rou indeed had nothing else scheduled, and it wouldn’t be possible to find Mr. Zhou anytime soon, so there was no problem in going for a meal. However, Liang Lu was with her; what about her if they went to eat?

Upon hearing Xiao Mo’s words, Liang Lu immediately said, “Tan Rou, you go ahead and eat. I can take a taxi back by myself.”

“It’s too far from where you live here, and it’s also hard to catch a taxi. By the time you manage to get a taxi home, it would probably be completely dark,” Tan Rou took out her car keys. “You take my car back. I will go with Xiao Mo.”

Liang Lu did not want to trouble Tan Rou any further. For the past few days, Tan Rou had been busy dealing with her matters and hadn’t had the time to attend to her own issues.

“I’ll find a way back myself,” said Liang Lu.

Tan Rou stuffed the car keys into her hand. “Since Xiao Mo came to pick me up, I’m obviously going to leave with him. If I go and nobody drives my car, it will just be left here.”

Liang Lu took the keys and promised, “Tan Rou, don’t worry, I will definitely drive your car back safely.”

Xiao Mo drove with Tan Rou, and Liang Lu followed in Tan Rou’s car. The two cars left the hospital one after the other.

On the road, Tan Rou received a call from Zhuang Liu. He asked if the police had arrived.

Tan Rou answered, “The police have already taken those two extortionists away. Thank you for calling the police for us; otherwise, I really couldn’t have spared the time to do it myself.”

Zhuang Liu said, “It’s just a small matter, don’t worry about it. Where are you now?”

Tan Rou smiled cheerfully, “We’re on our way to see you.”

On the other end of the line, Zhuang Liu’s heartbeat slowed for a moment. He unconsciously tightened his grip on the phone. “Good, hurry over. I want to see you sooner too.”

“Mm-hmm.” Tan Rou glanced at the roadside outside, “We’re just about to turn into the city road…”

“Bang—”

A huge collision sound interrupted Tan Rou’s speech. The emergency braking threw Tan Rou’s head against the passenger seat, causing her hand to loosen and the phone to fly towards the window, then slide under the seat.

Tan Rou felt a bit dizzy. She rubbed her head, then asked, “Did we have an accident?”

“Miss Rou, how are you?” Xiao Mo’s voice came from the front seat. “There was a collision ahead, and I couldn’t avoid it. I had to hit the brakes.”

Tan Rou shook her head. “There was an accident ahead?” Her mind suddenly became clear. “Liang Lu’s car was right in front of us. How is she?”

She sat in the back seat, unable to observe the front cars instantly, but Xiao Mo, sitting in the driver’s seat, could clearly see the scene of the accident ahead.

Xiao Mo’s voice trembled as he said, “Miss Liang’s car… it got hit…”

Tan Rou’s face turned pale instantly. She yanked open the car door and rushed towards Liang Lu’s car.

Xiao Mo followed, shouting, “Miss Rou, be careful of an explosion!”

Tan Rou did not listen to Xiao Mo’s words at all. The only thought in her mind was that Liang Lu must not get hurt!

At the intersection, a luxury car collided with a van. Liang Lu’s car was proceeding normally when the car ahead suddenly braked, and she couldn’t swerve in time, crashing directly into the rear of the car in front.
