Chapter 431 Information was Leaked?!

This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml

Not long ago; to be precise, three months ago, Qin Lan enrolled on a driving course to learn how to drive a car. This incident had caused some discussions in the general operation team, and it was also the reason why Liusu always wanted me to buy a car a while ago.

Qin Lan may look clever, and it seemed like she could learn everything quickly at work, but she was very dumb when it came to learning how to drive. Plus her time was limited, her learning result was not great.

At this time, Gong Fanlin, who had bought a car long ago, expressed his willingness to use his car to help Qin Lan do exercises in her free time, but Qin Lan declined.

However, this inspired Qin Lan, so she found Yang Wei, who had a good relationship with a car rental agency, and wanted to rent a car during her off days.

She wanted to ask a friend who could drive to teach her, and it just so happened that she and Yang Wei were off on the same day.

Brother Wei was also a stupid good guy. Not only did he help her rent a car at a low price, but later he also became her free coach. It was no wonder that a while ago, as soon as his rest day came, he would decline Liusu and my invitation to go out to have fun, saying that he had something else to do. It turned out that he was teaching Qin Lan how to drive.

The two people seemed to have incompatible personalities, but after staying with each other both during the work and after the work for a while, they actually developed chemistry with each other. This made Gong Fanlin, who had seen everything, very jealous.

Only until now did I learn that Gong Fanlin had actually been chasing Qin Lan for a year already. The reason why this guy had been spreading rumors about Qin Lan, saying bad things about her was first because he was angry at Qin Lan’s indifferent attitude; secondly, he was worried that someone else within the company would also chase Qin Lan.

Having this kind of mindset and motive, he was really an obnoxious person. Seeing that Brother Wei was getting closer and closer to Qin Lan, Gong Fanlin’s resentment towards Brother Wei also grew heavier.

This resentment finally broke out completely because of the arrival of Ziyuan. Gong Fanlin, who was rejected by Qin Lan, was like other male wolves in the office. He was attracted by Ziyuan’s beauty.

Ziyuan was my childhood friend. Brother Wei was worried that she would be deceived by these wolves’ sweet words, so he once said a few words to them, warning them to not overdo it. But he didn’t expect that Gong Fanlin would have a strong reaction. He believed that Brother Wei was deliberately targeting him because he used to chase Qin Lan…

Yesterday afternoon, because Gong Fanlin forced Ziyuan to accept the invitation, Brother Wei quarreled with him once again. But because Brother Wei was trying to ruin the opportunity for all the bachelors in the office, he lost the argument. Later, because I mocked Gong Fanlin, saying that his mother had also asked me to impregnate her before, Brother Wei took the opportunity and mocked him as well. It made Gong Fanlin feel humiliated. Because of that, Gong Fanlin held a grudge, and thought of this vicious plan…

Mo Fei breathed a sigh of relief, because she finally had a reason to fire Gong Fanlin, which was also the reason Sang Yingjie invited her to come with me.

The truth of this matter would make people feel angry, but this did not prevent me from feeling a little happy. First, it was for the relationship between Brother Wei and Qin Lan, and second, it was for Mo Fei.

Mo Fei once deliberately created the illusion of layoffs by sending a survey to each member of the general operation team. The results of those three difficult questions proved that there were at least two or three people in the general operation team that were working for the Zhang family. From Mo Fei’s relieved expression, it seemed that Gong Fanlin was one of them. Perhaps it was also for this reason that she didn’t show any surprise when she heard that Gong Fanlin had some relationship with the Zhang family, and he also had personal relations with Zhang Mingjie. But no matter what, it was a great thing that she could finally have a good reason to get rid of Gong Fanlin.

I believed that Liusu would be as happy as her.

……

Xiao Yike still had classes in the afternoon and must go back to the university. Before getting on the bus, Sang Yingjie whispered to me behind her back, “Brother Chu, you won’t blame me for telling Milady what Lin Yun’an did to you, right?”

“Huh?” My pretentious confusion was just to cover up the fact that he had seen through my mind. I would be lying if I said that I didn’t blame him. However, Sang Yingjie has helped me so much. I was embarrassed to blame him because of such a small thing.

Sang Yingjie glanced at Xiao Yike, who was chatting with Dong Xiaoye and Mo Fei very happily, with a smile and said seriously, “Maybe Milady is just a stubborn little girl in your eyes, but she is not like this in our eyes, or even in her father’s eyes. Sometimes I even suspect that the girl who always laughs with Brother Chu is really Milady. Haha, recently her father often sighed with emotion, saying that she has changed, and that she knows how to care about other people. This is all due to Brother Chu.”

‘What is he talking about?’ I was confused.

Seeing me frowning in confusion, Sang Yingjie waved his hand and said, “It’s nothing. Brother Chu, you don’t need to keep it in mind. I just hope that you won’t alienate Milady because of people like us. For us, we all like how she behaves when she is by your side.”

Was she not like this when she was around others? Recalling my first encounter with Xiao Yike, I seemed to understand what Sang Yingjie meant. She was obviously kind, but she always pretended to be indifferent and ruthless in front of people. Like my little sister, she would act one way in front of other people, and the other way when there was no one around…

“What are you two talking about?” Dong Xiaoye was too sensitive. Seeing Sang Yingjie whispering to me, she became vigilant immediately.

I could’ve told her the truth, but seeing Xiao Yike staring at us curiously, I suddenly thought of one thing.

“It’s nothing, I was about to ask Brother Sang about someone.”

Sang Yingjie was taken aback, “Oh? Who?”

“Xu Heng,” I asked pretentiously, “Does Brother Sang know Xu Heng?”

Sang Yingjie’s expression changed obviously, “You mean the man who is responsible for what happened in Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort?”

Dong Xiaoye obviously did not expect that I would directly ask Sang Yingjie this question. She was very surprised. And the same as her, Mo Fei was also surprised. However, Xiao Yike’s face was full of confusion, “Uncle, who is Xu Heng? A man or a woman?”

I did not answer Xiao Yike, but stared at Sang Yingjie intently, “Do you know him?”

I hoped that he would say no. I knew that even if he really knew Xu Heng, he would definitely deny it. But I still wanted to ask this question because I wanted to show Dong Xiaoye that Xiao Yike was Xiao Yike, and she had nothing to do with what her family was doing.

“What happened in Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort was probably the most atrocious crime in Bei Tian city. Not to mention that it also involved so many influential figures. So if I say that I never heard of Xu Heng this person, it will be no different than lying.” Sang Yingjie smiled faintly. He slightly lowered his voice and said, “And not only do I know Xu Heng, but I also know that he might be hiding in the eastern region of the city now.”

Dong Xiaoye couldn’t help but blurt out in shock, “How did you know?”

“Officer Dong, have you forgotten what I do? How many of your colleagues have been coming in and out of my premises recently? How can I not notice it?” Sang Yingjie chuckled helplessly and said seemingly carelessly, “Moreover, not only do I know about this matter, but almost all the people in the underworld know about this… Police don’t seem to do a very good job at keeping it a secret.”

The implication of his words was that the information about Xu Heng hiding in the eastern region of the city was leaked by the police? !

Dong Xiaoye’s pretty face instantly turned pale. Sang Yingjie saw it, but he pretended that he didn’t notice it, “It’s true that we don’t have a clean background, and we are in no position to ask the police to trust us, but we are trying our best to improve. I believe that this is something the police can see clearly. Although Xu Heng destroyed the Long family, and we benefited from the fall of the Long family, if that man had bad luck and was caught by us, we would still hand him over to the police without hesitation.”

Sang Yingjie was not saying those words to Dong Xiaoye, but to me. However, who would believe his words? But what surprised me next was that Dong Xiaoye actually showed a relieved expression, I almost fell off the chair when I saw it. Why did she believe him so easily?

After Sang Yingjie left with Xiao Yike, Dong Xiaoye couldn’t wait to get into the car. Before she started the car, she poked her head out of the window and asked me, “Shu Tong and Yuan Yuan should have gone back to school at this time, and Shu Tong’s family probably also went back to the hotel, so where are you going next? Do you want me to drive you there?”

I thought for a second and said: “If you have something to do, you can leave first. You don’t need to worry about me.”

“But…” Dong Xiaoye hesitated but eventually did not tell Mo Fei that she must stay with me to protect me for the time being.

Mo Fei also asked me curiously, “What are you doing next?”

“I’m going to the bank to handle some personal affairs.”

“In that case, I’ll drive you there.”

“Are you not going back to the company?”

Mo Fei smiled and said, “Recently, the workload of the investment department has decreased a lot. So it is very boring to stay in the office doing nothing. Besides, it is rare for me to stay outside during working hours. I also want to experience what it is like to skip work. Unless it is not convenient for me to give you a lift?”

“No…” Mo Fei was the general manager of Fengchang’s investment department. It felt very strange for her to say such a thing. Skipping work was one thing, but she even wanted to be my chauffeur…

“Then why do you have so many questions?” Mo Fei turned to Dong Xiaoye and said, “Offer Dong, you are going back to the station, right? Don’t worry about Chu Nan. Just leave him to me.”

These words sounded even stranger. Why did I feel like I was like a little kitten or puppy who was left alone at home because the owner was on a business trip?

Dong Xiaoye’s face also couldn’t help flushing. She gave Mo Fei a scolding look, seemingly criticizing her for using such ambiguous words. But when she opened her mouth, she said, “Okay. Keep your eyes on him for me. I will leave first.”

Wait, what did she mean? Did she really treat me as a little animal that would get lost or something? However, before I could say anything, Dong Xiaoye already drove her car away.
