Chapter 354 You Used Me
"What the hell? Luke, sweetie, I know I''m handsome, but you can''t just throw yourself at me so eagerly.
I''m very reserved," Rain said, touching his high nose which hurt like hell after having been crushed by
Luke. Luke was not a small man, and it felt as if his body were made of iron.
"I''m not that horny yet. And don''t call me sweetie." Luke moved quickly around Rain with a cool
expression and walked in the CEO''s office. Rain''s affectation was totally ignored.
"Sweetie, what do you mean? Do you despise me? Am I not good enough for you?" Hearing Luke''s
words, Rain turned around to step into the room. His feelings were hurt. ''Unbelievable!'' he thought.
''How could he indicate that an extremely handsome man like me was not good enough?''
"I don''t despise you. I just don''t like you," Luke answered, looking at Rain without a hint of smile on his
face.
"Come on! That''s the same thing." Rain rolled his eyes and then realized that it was pointless to talk
about like or dislike with Luke, because in Luke''s world only Edward mattered, and nobody else
concerned him. He would be stupid to continue the topic.
Edward was amused by Rain and Luke''s banter. Rain was always talking, yet Luke was not much of a
talker. It was funny when they were together.
"Mr. Mu, you''ve got to watch this video." If Luke disliked someone, he wouldn''t even look at him. It was
who he was. At this moment, no matter what Rain said, he just ignored him and then calmly put his
phone in front of Edward.
"What is it?" Luke sounded serious. Edward looked at him, confused and nervous about what he was
to see. Somehow, he sensed it was rted to Daisy.
"y it and you''ll know." Luke sighed inwardly. Someone screwed up. He wondered how Edward would
deal with this matter.
"Er, maybe I should excuse myself," Rain asked cautiously. He stopped fooling around, sensing it was
serious, "No, you don''t have to," Luke said simply. He didn''t ignore Rain this time. He just didn''t like him
ying around. When it came to serious business, he could be easygoing.
Edward took a deep breath and pressed the ''y'' button. After some rustling noise, a man and a
woman were seen standing together. Since the woman was standing with her back against the camera
in the dim light, it was uncertain who she was. But Edward had seen the man at the cocktail party the
night before, the one who had been at the Commander''s side the whole time, hard to ignore.
"Miss Lin, you used me. Colonel Ouyang was the wife of the CEO of FX International Group. Why did
you deceive me into reporting Colonel Ouyang by telling me that you are the CEO''s wife?" The man
sounded furious. His face was full of anger.
"Hank, you knew all along that I was using you. What''s more, you wouldn''t have cooperated with me if
you didn''t have a problem with Daisy, right?" Edward was familiar with the woman''s voice. His hands
coiled into fists in anger. ''Jessica, it''s you. I know you aren''t as simple as you pretend to be. I''m
impressed you found someone in the military to use so quickly.
I thought Daisy was suspended because her superiors thought she had taken a bribe. It turns out it was
a conspiracy by these two. Jessica, you think you deserve to be my wife? Don''t taint that title!''
"Miss Lin, I wasn''t your partner. I was used by you when I was unaware of the truth. I hope you can
shut your mouth during the following investigations, or I will be very angry." Hank red at Jessica with
wide eyes, looking grim and vicious.
"Haha, Hank, do you really think you can get off scot free? Don''t you forget that you took my check! Do
you really think I don''t know why you were willing to conspire against that bitch Daisy with me? If I''m
not wrong, it''s because her rank is higher than yours, isn''t it?" On hearing this, Edward, Luke and Rain
looked at each other. They never thought Hank was a good person. But they couldn''t believe Hank had
taken a bribe, because it was an especially severe crime for a serviceman. Didn''t he know that?
"I''ll return the check to you right now. We''ve never met. Remember that. Don''t assume you know other
people''s thoughts. It''s not good for you." Hank took out something out of his pocket and threw it at
Jessica. Then he marched off. The video ended here. Edward''s face was flushed with rage -- the scene
angered Edward enormously.
"Mr. Mu, what do we do?" Luke took his phone back. He had recorded the video by ident. Hank and
Jessica had been bold enough to talk about their dirty business inside Kate Hotel. Luke had put the
entire hotel under surveince for FX International Group''s anniversary ceremony.
"Rain, take action to wipe out Lin Group right now. Luke, find someone to keep an eye on Mrs. Ouyang.
I''ll find something against her." Edward squinted his eyes grimly. Since Hank and Jessica were trying
everything to ruin his woman''s life, he would mercilessly make their lives a living hell.
"Ah, so soon? I''m still taking a break from myst assignment." Rain thought it would be some time
before he got a new workload. Edward had just mentioned it several minutes ago. In this case, he
would be too busy to eat, let alone think about Annie.
"Don''t you know you should strike while the iron is hot? Since Jessica''s so eager to die, why don''t I
redeem her wish? I''ll wait and see what dirty tricks she can y without Lin Group''s protection,"
Edward said, but he didn''t know that Jessica could still stir things up even without Lin Group''s backing.
"Boss, do you want it done fast or effectively?" Rain put his elbows on the desk and looked at Edward
with his hands under his jaw. He hoped Edward could promise him some benefit for doing this task,
because he would be exhausted from all this work. It had been awhile since he had a break.
"What''s the difference?" Edward looked at Rain indifferently, sensing that he was up to something.
"If you want it done fast, you have to reduce the quantity of the files on my desk by half and if you want
it done effectively, you have to give me time." Rain put forward his terms leisurely. To get what he
wanted, he had to withstand the killer look his boss was casting at him. Otherwise, he would not have
the slightest second of personal time left.
"I want both. But I won''t reduce the quantity of the files on your desk at all. I want the result in three
days. As to how to do it, that''s your job." Obviously, Edward was a better game yer than Rain.
Exploiting Rain was his entertainment. Otherwise, how would he have time to apany Daisy? She
hardly ever had a vacation.
Edward''s response was a heavy blow to Rain. He pressed his face against the desk. Instead of
benefits, he got a pressing deadline. He felt desperate. "What? Boss, you can''t do this to me. I''ll die
from exhaustion. What about assigning Anna as my assistant?"
"You go ask Anna yourself. I have no problem with it if she agrees." Edward smiled mischievously.
Anna had never engaged in major decisions-making and approvals, so she would only be able to help
Rain with some simple files. Edward had intended to assign Aaron to assist Rain. Now that he asked
for Anna, so be it. In this case, Aaron would be able to assist Edward with his work again and Edward
would have more time for Daisy.

Hearing Edward''s words, Luke twitched his mouth violently and thought Edward couldn''t be more evil,
because even if Anna agreed to assist Rain, as a secretary to the CEO, she would be concerned with
the CEO''s office all the time and in return, she would have less time to help Rain, which meant she
wouldn''t be of much help at all.
"OK. then as of now, Anna''s main task is to assist me, so she won''t be your secretary, temporarily of
course." Rain wasn''t stupid. He had chosen Anna for a reason, which he''d like to keep secret for now.
"No problem. I''ll find somebody else to rece her." Edward gave an evil smile. He had thought Rain
was sloppy, but today he was impressed with how shrewd Rain really was.
