Chapter 5 - 5 4 Mouse Courage_1
?Chapter 5: Chapter 4 Mouse Courage_1 Chapter 5: Chapter 4 Mouse Courage_1 After settling the debts and studio matters, Feng Yi enjoyed another good night’s sleep.
However, another individual wasn’t so lucky with the quality of his sleep.
Because of Feng Yi’s words, Lu Yue, having taken the item for testing, waited the entire night with extremely complex emotions, all for the test results.
It was at the crack of dawn when Lu Yue finally received a call.
The person on the other end sounded as if they were hiding somewhere, speaking secretly, their voice hushed as if about to reveal something dreadful.
“Brother Lu, have you gotten yourself into some serious trouble?”
A sense of dread sank into Lu Yue’s heart just from hearing these words—he knew things were far from good.
“Tell me the results first!”
The person on the other end took a deep breath, then continued in a subdued tone, “It’s real snake skin, likely wild, and probably of a rare variety. It’s difficult to tell the specific species since the leather has been processed, which makes it impossible to match, but it’s mostly a rare variety.
“I used the company’s newly-acquired state-of-the-art equipment and testing kits, which took a little extra time. Fortunately, these instruments are only in the calibration phase recently, and I was the only one on duty tonight, so I didn’t dare keep the test results.
Brother Lu, how did you come by this?”
Lu Yue closed his eyes tightly, and when he re-opened them, his eyes were filled with fierce determination. He squeezed out a few words through clenched teeth, “It was a gift from someone else!”
The relief was palpable from the person on the phone, “Brother, it’s better you stay away from those people. I heard there’s an ongoing investigation into a batch of wild animal skins that entered the market. Given the nature of your company, not so long ago your old man was in the official news advocating the use of more environmentally safe materials in response to the national call. Getting caught up in this, even if you’re cleared, will lead to a lot of trouble, with so many people waiting to find faults with you! It’s not easy to build and maintain a brand, nor is it easy to have reached your current position; you can’t afford a stain like this!”
“I am aware of all that! Dispose of your operating records on that side, and I’ll transfer the money to you in a moment.”
After hanging up and transferring the money, Lu Yue dug out Feng Yi’s contact information and sent him a message, “Thanks! I owe you one!”
…
In the early morning, Feng Yi saw the message upon waking up and smiled.
