CapĂtulo 1441: Chapter 494: Reporting In_3
âŠ
Although the work in their hands needs to be reported, even a fool can see that Lord Okens is in a rage. Wouldnât reporting now be walking right into the line of fire, knowing that none of the issues theyâre reporting are good news?
They had better wait until Lord Okens calms down a bit before going in.
At this moment, a frustrated voice from Okens came from within the office.
âWhereâs everyone? Next one!â
âIâll go first.â
Upon seeing this, Su Ming stepped forward.
âFollow me.â
Nan Ying gave Su Ming a puzzled look, feeling a sense of familiarity, but couldnât recognize him initially due to the mask Su Ming was wearing.
Su Ming followed Secretary Nan Ying into the office.
At this time, Okens was annoyingly reviewing a file.
Su Ming stood face to face with Okens, quietly watching him review the file.
âWhereâs the file?â
Okens, seeing the official who came in to report, hadnât handed over the report file for a while and said impatiently.
âLord Okens.â
Su Ming spoke with a smile.
âWho are you?â
Okens was taken aback when he heard Su Mingâs voice, and immediately looked up at Su Ming, the more he looked, the more familiar Su Ming seemed, instinctively standing up soon after.
Su Ming smiled and took off his mask to reveal his identity.
âSu Ming!â
Okens was instantly shocked, then excitedly stepped forward, giving Su Ming a hug.
âLord Okens, donât be so excited.â
Su Ming replied with a smile.
âNot that, you brat, youâre not dead!â
Okens said with extreme excitement.
Even though the official announcement was that Su Ming had been found and was recuperating at a secret base.
It was something that couldnât be hidden from people like Okens; they were very aware of the inside story.
âIâm tough; itâs not that easy for me to die.â
Su Ming replied with a delighted smile.
âWait a minute, whatâs with these bloodstains on your face?â
Okens suddenly noticed the bloodstains on Su Mingâs face and asked urgently with concern.
âOveruse of the biological machine, resulting in contamination.â
Su Ming replied with a wry smile.
âIs it nothing serious?â
âFor now, thereâs no problem.â
âWhere exactly have you been all these years, what happened?â
âItâs a long story, difficult to explain in a few words.â
âLetâs not talk about this now, Iâll take you to meet Lord Gakels. You really made a significant contribution in the Tidal Star Sea battle, and the Federation will surely give you a hefty commendation.â
Okens said excitedly.
âAlright!â
Su Ming put the mask back on.
âToday, there will be no work, the officials who have reports, let them just send the files up, Iâll handle it later.â
Okens turned his head to Secretary Nan Ying and said.
âYes!â
Secretary Nan Ying replied respectfully.
Okens swiftly left the office with Su Ming.
Soon, Su Ming was taken by Okens to the entrance of Gakelsâs office, and just as they approached, a cold reprimand was heard coming from inside the office.
âHow are you handling things? This yearâs tax collection is not even half done yet?â
âLord Gakels, the people below are not cooperating; they keep complaining about having no money. Besides, according to our investigation, many of them have moved their funds, and some have even gone to seek refuge in Saint Qiao.â
âA bunch of fence-sitters, didnât I tell you to block the borders and financial flows?â
âTheyâre blocked, but itâs useless. They got out using Morris Interstellar Bank and various false identities.â
âSigh~â
Upon hearing his subordinatesâ report, Gakels slammed the teacup he was holding hard onto the table.
Crack!
The entire teacup instantly shattered, Gakelsâs hand was directly cut by the shards, blood streamed out.
The officials reporting the situation all turned pale with fear.
âLord City Master, your hand!â
Yun Rou hurriedly approached with a change in expression and said.
âItâs nothing. Why are you all standing around? Go down and try every possible way to chase it back!â
Gakels commanded the officials who were trembling with fear.
âYes.â
These officials, feeling as if they had been saved, hurriedly left in a panic.
At this moment, Yun Rou also stepped out of the office and called out.
âMing Qi!â
Very soon, a male doctor carrying a medical kit hurriedly came from the adjacent lounge.
But just as the doctor was about to enter.
Okens stepped forward to stop him and said.
âJust give me the medical kit, you can go.â
âUh, yes.â
Ming Qi was slightly taken aback, then handed the medical kit to Okens.
Yun Rou saw Okens and hesitated for a moment, but said nothing, just greeted courteously.
âLord Okens.â
âMm, Yun Rou, wait outside, donât let anyone come in and disturb us, leave the rest to me.â
Okens instructed Yun Rou.
âAlright!â
Though Yun Rou didnât know what Okens intended, she agreed immediately.
Okens then took Su Ming into the office and closed the door.
At this moment, seeing Okens bring someone in, Gakels also said exhaustedly.
âOkens, take a look at how the people below are behaving? Not one is making things easy for me.â
âSigh~ The situation is similar on my side. You shouldnât get angry over these people; itâs not worth compromising your health for. Let me help you with your wound.â
Okens said as he stepped forward with the medical kit.
Upon hearing Okensâs words, Su Mingâs expression became quite intriguing. He didnât know who was just flaring up, and now conversely, advising Gakels not to get angry, for a moment he couldnât help but smile.
Then, Gakelsâs gaze fell on Su Ming, and the more he looked, the wider his eyes became.
âAre you, Su Ming?â
