After the death of the previous emperor, the Empress Dowager became arrogant

Chapter 261 Madness

It's not that I hate it, it's just that it's hard to let it go. After all, this is the path I chose, and I can't blame anyone else.

How have things been going for you these years?

Thank you for your concern. Except that I don’t have the rich and comfortable life as before, everything else is fine.

That's good. Now that you've passed, you don't have to think about anything else. Just stay here and work hard. We are short of staff right now, so you come back at the right time.

Yoko responded and stepped back, slowly closing the door, leaving only Muto Takaya and Mieko in the room.

Mieko didn't understand why he did this, so she had to ask.

Since you suspect that her purpose of coming back this time is not pure, why don’t you deal with her directly to prevent future troubles?

She can't die yet, we still need a legitimate reason to participate.

At least for now, she is more useful alive than dead.

Notify her and assign some important work to her. Remember to report any abnormalities.

Got it. I'll do it right away.

In the blink of an eye, it is already the second half of the year.

The weather in July and August was like being trapped in a cage, humid and hot. Everyone was extremely anxious and restless. Even Yoko, who usually just lived a lazy life, felt uneasy.

Not only has the workload increased several times, but there are more unfamiliar faces coming and going than usual, and several staff members have been missing for entire days.

The tense atmosphere seemed to spread quickly to every corner within a few days.

In contrast,

So much so that whenever she finished work and was about to go home to rest and walked through a large area, almost everyone would look up and watch her leave with an envious and pitying look, making her feel as if she was eating alone behind their backs but was forced to do so.

She packed her things and prepared to go home as usual. As soon as she walked out of the hospital gate, she ran into Mieko who had been there.

There were some unfamiliar faces in the group following her, all blindfolded, walking forward.

Seeing Yoko coming out, Mieko subconsciously stepped forward and tried to block her gaze.

Yoko couldn't help but shake her head in amusement. Over the past six months or so, she had become accustomed to the way everyone in the office avoided her when doing things.

She had gone to see Uncle Wang long before she returned, and she knew

As the most suitable link between the two parties, Muto Takaya will definitely not mess up the overall situation at this critical moment.

So she resolutely decided to go back and seek a way to survive, for herself and for those she cared about.

Suddenly, a wave of heat hit her in the face, bringing with it a hint of moisture. Yoko raised her hand and fanned herself symbolically a few times, muttering something.

I don't know when the weather will change. I have to buy an umbrella just in case...

In less than a month, Yoko and her friends were located a few alleys away from where they were now.

And her job is still, just that she also holds a clerical position.

The nature of other people's work has remained basically unchanged.

There were wailings everywhere, and every household had their doors closed tightly, as if there was an evil ghost outside the door watching their every move. If they were not careful, they would be caught by the evil ghost and lose their lives.

Secretary Qi, take this notice to Gu Jinri and ask her to deal with it.

This was Yoko's own request. Besides, the name Qi Jun was less likely to cause alienation and disgust among them.

She had only been working for a few months, but she had already received such orders no less than a hundred times.

Basically every two or three days there will be a group of people saying yes.

Some people's reasons are even simpler and more direct: it doesn't matter where you work, you just...

The light hurt her eyes and she turned her head away quickly.

A feeling of powerlessness suddenly came over me, and I subconsciously wanted to do something.

Now that she has the idea, what Yoko should think about now is how to implement it.

Thinking of some of the things that man had told her.

If successful, she will hide herself and will never reveal her identity unless necessary.

Since she couldn't directly participate and arouse suspicion, she could only do it from the side and let them hand the loophole to her themselves.

As long as they bring it up,

This is exactly

Of course, these are all for later.

Hello, is your brother there?

It’s Miss Yoko. Your husband is not at home today. Do you have something to talk to him about?

I originally wanted to tell him something, but since he's not here, forget it. I'll tell him next time when I have time. Thank you for your help.

After making this call, Yoko inquired about the news from other places, including that almost half of the managers were not at work.

Not only them, but the whole building seemed unusually quiet today.

When Yoko finished organizing the documents at hand and walked through the outer room of the office, someone joked that he wanted to ask her out to relax.

These phenomena did not exist in the past. During the heyday, everyone worked hard all day long, wishing they could split themselves into several parts to use.

It’s good enough to have some free time to drink some water, how can I dare to hope to have time to go out and play?

Yoko looked at the time and it was still early, so she nodded in agreement.

It was today indeed.

Yoko murmured, she passed

Since she couldn't get involved anyway, she might as well take this opportunity to do other things.

The group of people came to a dance hall together. When the waiter saw a group of distinguished people in extraordinary clothes coming to the door, he hurried over to greet them.

Call out the one who sings well, I want to listen to the song!

The man who led them was called

Yoko has learned about this person in detail. He is arrogant and conceited.

Although he is timid, he is still loyal to those who have helped him or are under his protection, as long as they have not offended him.

Especially since this guy had secretly come out to drink and leaked a lot of information when he was drunk, but since what he leaked was not important, no big deal was made.

I just dragged him to the office and gave him a scolding, and only then did he quiet down for a while.

She knew that He Wensu could no longer hold back.

I learned that he had recently fallen in love with the mainstay of this dance hall, a woman named Jiang Man.

It’s just that this woman’s identity is somewhat unusual, so she lured them here.

As long as He Wensu asked to meet Jiang Man, she would have the opportunity to make things bigger. As long as this matter reached Muto Takaya's ears, everything else would fall into place.

At work, He Wensu has a flexible personality and is easy to control, so he became Yoko's first choice to implement the first step of the plan.

He Wensu was taken out for nearly an hour. This guy was a coward and confessed everything. His attitude of admitting his mistakes was more sincere than anyone else.

Except for He Wensu, no one else responded and just asked about the situation.

But in the end, he couldn't escape and suffered the punishment he deserved.

Sure enough, not long after he left, Yoko and Ning Xiaoru were also brought in.

Ning Xiaoru started cursing softly as soon as she walked in. Who else could have been taken away so quickly except that wimp?
