CHAPTER 422: CHAPTER 420 MYSTERIOUS GIFT

Luo Jingwei resigned?

Qin Hao was taken aback at first, then immediately asked in confusion: "Why? Why the sudden resignation?"

Concerning the incident where Luo Jingwei encountered the Golden Stone Sect disciple in the office and was almost assaulted, Qin Hao had also mentioned it to Lin Yuhan. Lin Yuhan was very concerned about the company’s security and felt fortunate that Qin Hao appeared in time to save Luo Jingwei.

After Qin Hao asked, Lin Yuhan sighed and said, "I don’t know either, she left me a letter this morning saying she’s returning to Jianghai City, then just resigned. I can’t reach her by phone now."

Qin Hao looked puzzled and asked, "Jianghai City? What’s she going there for?"

Lin Yuhan took out a beautifully wrapped gift box from under the desk and said, "Her family is there. Luo Jingwei is already married, and her husband is in Jianghai City. She went back to look for her husband."

"Oh, right, she left this for you before she left, saying it’s a gift for you to thank you for saving her last time."

She said, handing the gift box to Qin Hao.

Qin Hao took it curiously and opened the box, but as soon as he took a look, his heart skipped a beat. He then quietly closed the lid without a change in expression.

Seeing Qin Hao’s reaction, Lin Yuhan couldn’t help but ask curiously, "What did Director Luo give you before leaving? I haven’t seen it yet."

Qin Hao thought to himself that it was fortunate she hadn’t seen it. He immediately pretended to be calm and nodded, saying lightly, "Oh, it’s nothing, just some ordinary gifts."

Although Lin Yuhan found his response odd, seeing Qin Hao’s very composed expression, she did not pursue further and instead sighed, "Luo Jingwei suddenly left, now I’m going to be even busier."

"She was very capable and helped me a lot during this period. The company just reached the Provincial Government, and I discussed the marketing strategies of several upcoming products with her a few days ago, but then she just left like this..."

Lin Yuhan continued to talk on, while Qin Hao’s mind was entirely occupied by the gift left for him by Luo Jingwei in the box.

Seeing him lost in thought without speaking, Lin Yuhan quickly asked, "Qin Hao, what’s wrong? Why are you standing there without saying anything?"

Qin Hao responded slightly flustered, "Oh, I was wondering if something happened to Luo Jingwei. This sudden trip to Jianghai City, could it be because she’s encountered some trouble."

As Qin Hao said this, he indeed felt a bit worried. Luo Jingwei’s sudden departure with no sign certainly meant she encountered something significant. Whatever the issue causing her to leave without notice, it made Qin Hao somewhat anxious as well.

Lin Yuhan also responded, "Yes, I’m worried too. But there’s no way to contact her now, so I don’t know how to help her."

She said this, and Qin Hao also nodded. His thoughts turned again to Jianghai City where Luo Jingwei went.

Jianghai City, one of Huaxia’s four directly governed cities. A top-tier city both nationally and within the entire Southeast, a center for economy, politics, culture, and trade.

Jianghai City’s prosperity goes without saying; its true power and Noble Families are well-known Red Noble Families in the Republic’s history.

These deeply rooted and powerful entities exist at the top of the hierarchy, representing a completely different world to the average person.

Jianghai City’s complicated and murky waters not only harbor hidden dragons and crouching tigers, but mere worms and frogs are not scarce either. In this mix of intertwining forces, one can only hope nothing happens to Luo Jingwei!

As Qin Hao thought this, Lin Yuhan continued, "Now that Luo Jingwei left, the position of Marketing Director is vacant. Pay attention around the company for anyone suitable for the position."

Her words brought Qin Hao’s thoughts back, and the first image that flashed in his mind was Yu Qianqian. He immediately wanted to tell Lin Yuhan that for the Marketing Director, anyone could take the role but definitely not Yu Qianqian.

As his words were just forming, Lin Yuhan frowned sharply, suddenly swayed a few times, and then collapsed onto the desk!

Lin Yuhan fainted directly in front of Qin Hao!

"Yu Han!"

Qin Hao froze for a moment, shocked.

In an instant, Qin Hao was utterly stunned. He thought Lin Yuhan might have accidentally fallen or fainted from exhaustion.

Immediately, Qin Hao rushed forward to catch Lin Yuhan, letting her fall into his arms, then checked her carefully, his expression changed dramatically.

Lin Yuhan lay powerless in his embrace, her complexion pale with lips already turning a bluish-white hue, her entire body as cold as a block of ice, without any warmth, constantly emitting cold air.

Qin Hao placed his hand on Lin Yuhan’s wrist, feeling for a long time before barely detecting a weak pulse.

Carefully perceiving a while longer, his expression changed drastically!

This is... Cold Ice Vein Poison!?

This thought flashed through Qin Hao’s mind, and considering Lin Yuhan’s symptoms, he had no choice but to believe it despite the shock.

This Cold Ice Vein Poison is extremely insidious, with almost no antidote once poisoned. The victim’s meridians and blood will slowly freeze over, ultimately becoming a senseless frozen corpse!

However, such a rare poison could only exist within Ancient Martial Families; it would be impossible for such a thing to appear in the ordinary world. Even Qin Hao had only seen brief mentions of such Cold Ice Vein Poison in a fragmented script.

He quickly laid Lin Yuhan on the sofa, his mind racing as he recalled Yu Qianqian’s sneaky appearance.

"I just went to President Lin’s office, wanting to discuss some matters..."

Earlier, when Qin Hao confronted her, Yu Qianqian had made this statement in panic, which now resurfaced in Qin Hao’s mind. He realized that only Yu Qianqian had visited Lin Yuhan’s office during this period.

Although this Cold Ice Vein Poison is unusual, and Yu Qianqian doesn’t seem like someone who could possess such a poison, her presence at Lin Yuhan’s office door with an eerie demeanor places her under significant suspicion.

"Yu Qianqian!"

Anger flashed in Qin Hao’s eyes.

Immediately, Qin Hao found someone to care for Lin Yuhan temporarily and dashed out of the office, heading upstairs and storming towards Yu Qianqian’s office.
