Can't help feeling for you: can't live without you

Chapter 41
There is always someone who makes you unable to let go; there is always someone who makes you want to stay.

Dong Zhiwei has not been able to contact Yuan Jingrui. It is almost April, and the chill in the night wind has long since disappeared, but she is still breaking out in a cold sweat on the brightly lit streets of Shanghai—after a desperate search and after running.

She went to Yuan Jingrui's office in the company, his homes in the urban and suburban areas, and even his mother's home, but all the places were empty, not even the old lady, the old Shikumen house from Darkness from top to bottom, like her heart.

Dong Zhiwei has always carried a handheld computer in her bag, which is used to deal with documents and emergencies all the time. She searched the web on the way, and Qi Dandan was right. This sudden explosive news almost flooded the In each space, tens of thousands of messages have been forwarded, and the existing numbers are being refreshed every second.

She couldn't contact Yuan Jingrui all the time, he seemed to evaporate suddenly, which aggravated her panic. In addition, countless calls came into her mobile phone, and almost everyone who knew her suddenly appeared. There are countless things to say to her.

The phone call at home also came, but it was just that her father asked her when she would go back for dinner.Dong Zhiwei replied that he had to work overtime due to urgent matters, so he couldn't rush back for dinner, and he might be very, very busy tonight.Dad's voice sounded suspicious, but he hung up the phone after sighing, and didn't ask too many questions.

On the other end of the phone, Dong Zhiwei rejoiced that her parents never used the Internet, and that the terrible news hadn't reached their ears so quickly.

But the phone kept sending reminders of incoming calls and text messages. After the photos of her date with Yuan Jingrui were suddenly exposed, everyone who knew her had contacted her so enthusiastically once, but Yuan Jingrui took her everywhere at that time. In many places, there was no mobile signal at all, so it didn't leave her with too difficult or troublesome memories, but this time it was different.

Even though Dong Zhiwei wisely put her cell phone on silent after Qi Dandan's call, she never stopped calling Yuan Jingrui. The call was repeatedly received to voicemail, and soon overwhelmed it showed that the battery was strained. Reminder, and it will automatically shut down after a short time.

Holding the mobile phone whose screen suddenly turned black with both hands, she sank heavily, sinking in the icy water, sinking in the ocean in the night with broken icebergs floating.

Something must have happened, she couldn't believe he wouldn't answer her call - if he could.

Dong Zhiwei shuddered, she stood on the street, countless people came and went around her, in Shanghai, a city that never sleeps, everything is bright and brightly lit in the spring night, only she silently maintained a stiff posture and stood alone. As he stood, he let his shadow be trampled by countless pairs of strange feet.

The shoulder was touched again, and the person passing by hurriedly dropped a vague "sorry".Dong Zhiwei lowered his head, disassembled the phone, took out the battery board, put it in again, and pressed the power button again.

The screen was on, and the red light of battery was flashing non-stop. She pressed the number that she had repeated countless times. After the monotonous ringtone, there was still the sound of voicemail being connected. She spoke, "Jingrui , I’ve been looking for you, my phone is running out of battery, I’ll be waiting for you in Gubei.”

The phone turned off automatically again, and it was unknown whether her words had been recorded in voicemail.She glanced at the pitch-black screen again, and suddenly had a crazy feeling of wanting to speak to him.

what to do?She still has so much to say, she wants to tell him that she must believe him, she wants to say that she is willing to face all the things that have happened or might happen with him, no matter how bad they are, but the battery is dead, She didn't have time to say it.

There is no time to say anything.

Dong Zhiwei returned to the downstairs apartment she was familiar with.

She had come here an hour ago, the door was still closed, and it was quiet inside. There were not many residents in this residential building. There were only two families on the floor where Yuan Jingrui lived, and the other house was always It was vacant, had never seen anyone come in or out, she rang the doorbell with little hope - still no answer.

Dong Zhiwei let out a sigh of relief, the turbulent exhaustion made her unable to stand, she had the key card here, Yuan Jingrui gave it to her, just a few days ago, but she came out too hastily, and left at home.She didn't even think about going back to get it. She glanced at the camera in the aisle, thought for a while, and finally turned around and entered the stairwell, where she sat down.

She didn't want the security guard to come up in 5 minutes and ask why she didn't open the door and go in by herself.

The stairwell was dead silent, as if she was the only one left in the whole world, the phone had completely lost its function and would never turn on again, no one would bother her, and no one could find her—except The one she wanted to meet.She feels cold.The stairwell was lit with bright white lights, and the ground and all the steps were covered with bright marble. She looked down, and her shadow was clearly reflected on the ground. She bent her knees and tried her best with both hands. hug yourself.

She looked at herself silently, feeling sad like never before, she saw what she least wanted to be, helpless, terrified, powerless to everything, not to mention protecting others, even she didn't know what to do next What.

The sound of the elevator opening woke Dong Zhiwei up, she stood up abruptly, and when she put her hand on the corridor door, two men were talking, it was Xia Ziqi and Yuan Jingrui.

"Who on earth leaked that report and suicide note? Jing Rui? Don't keep silent. I'm your lawyer. It's not that simple."

"The suicide note is not real. She did leave me a letter, but it is definitely not a suicide note." Yuan Jingrui replied in a deep voice.

"And what about the medical report?"

Dong Zhiwei heard the slight sound of swiping the door card, and heard Yuan Jingrui's answer, "It's true."

Xia Ziqi gasped, "You never told me! The doctor was bribed?"

"No, he signed a non-disclosure agreement."

"Then who else knows about this?"

"There's only one person who knows, besides me and the doctor," he said with an unprecedented gravity.

"Who is it?" Xia Ziqi's voice was lost in the sound of closing the door, and there was a "bang", as if hitting Dong Zhiwei's face.

She was still standing in the stairwell, with her hands on the cold doorknob, her whole body was stiff, many strange voices echoed in her ears, there were countless phantoms in front of her eyes, faces one by one, Yuan Jingrui's, Wen Bailiang's, Dai Ailing's , Zhang's brothers, her parents, and countless more familiar or unfamiliar faces.

She felt that she had fallen into a net, an endless net, and everything around her became a hide and seek, and it was impossible for her to crawl out of this net with her own strength.

There was only one thought that broke through the siege and finally became clear. She heard her own voice resounding sharply in her mind. When she was crazily worried about Yuan Jingrui, he let her wander alone in this huge and boundless city without anyone picking her up. No phone call even gave her a chance to explain. He believed the doctor unconditionally, that is to say, he suspected that she had leaked Cheng Huimei's secret, because she was the only one who knew besides the doctor.

He suspects her!

Unable to think any more, Dong Zhiwei's hand left the doorknob, she turned around, and ran downstairs like flying, the cold and smooth stairs reflecting the white light seemed to extend endlessly under her feet, She felt dizzy, but she couldn't stop herself, as if a beast was chasing her right behind her. The terrifying breath was already close to the back of her neck, and every nerve in her was so tense that it was about to shatter. up.

It was almost early morning when Dong Zhiwei returned home, the alley was quiet and there was a thin mist, when there was a sudden sound of footsteps behind her, someone quickly caught up with her and grabbed her hand.

Dong Zhiwei let out a low cry out of fear, and then suddenly fell silent when he saw the man's face clearly.

"Zhiwei." It was Yuan Jingrui who said these two words. He not only called her name, but also pulled her over with such force that she almost fell onto him.

Dong Zhiwei tried hard to keep her balance, and many terrible emotions tormented her along the way, but now when she suddenly saw him appearing in front of her, her mind suddenly went blank.

What is he going to say to her?At this time, shouldn't he discuss countermeasures with Xia Ziqi?There were so many things he needed to deal with, and he didn't trust her, so why did he come to her again?

Or, did he come to question why she betrayed him?The anger made him unable to bear it for a moment, and he found her home when he had time.

Her silence and non-cooperation made Yuan Jingrui swear, he was not a gentle man in the true sense, his so-called elegant demeanor was all a disguise, after such a busy and tiring day, in front of her again, the disguise was lost I have gone to cloud nine.

"Where did you go? What's wrong with your phone? You called me so many times before and said you were looking for me all the time. When I called you, the phone couldn't get through again."

She looked up and saw a frowning face with tired shadows etched deep in his eyes.

"I..." She only said one word, and couldn't continue anymore.

Cheng Huimei's medical report and suicide note caused an uproar. The rumors that the head of Chengfang murdered his ex-wife never stopped. Now Yuan Jingrui has been pushed to the forefront. Formally put forward a proposal to replace the chairman of the board of directors, and asked Yuan Jingrui to appoint a suitable candidate to act as the chairman of the board of directors during the investigation period.

Yuan Jingrui rejected the proposal on the spot, leaving no room for negotiation. The other members of the board of directors did not make any statement. The meeting broke up in a standard posture of sitting on the fence.Lin En's representative, Hamers, had a phone call with Dai Ailing that night, and Dai Ailing said confidently, "Don't worry, we have already acquired enough shares, plus the 15.00% of Lynn Capital's share, it is enough to pull Yuan Jingrui down. "

"As long as Yuan Jingrui can step down from the position of chairman of the board of directors, the next thing will be very easy to operate."

"This is the benefit of the company's boss." Dai Ailing smiled, "It is beneficial to the circulation of capital, and it is more beneficial to those who are most prepared."

After putting down the phone, she raised her wrist to check the time, and then made a call.

The call was made to Wen Bailiang. Since the preparations for the IPO of the private equity fund started, he has been very busy. He often worked until late at night or even early in the morning. Especially recently, when she went to visit occasionally, she actually saw him lying on his desk fell asleep.

She likes him like this, once she found herself at his desk, looking at his sleeping profile, stood there for 5 minutes, and then saw her eyes on the French windows in the dark night behind him, which were full of love look.

She felt that she really fell in love with this man who was many years younger than her. He used to be the man who was close to the shadow in her heart, but unconsciously, he had replaced that shadow and made her obsessed.

She messed up for him, angry at his approach to his ex-girlfriend, and he went after her when she was about to give up on him, and stood at the door of her apartment with blank eyes, begging her forgiveness, saying that everything was wrong. It was to wonder if she cared about him, and said he loved her.

And he proposed to her!

Dai Ailing couldn't deny that even though she had been married twice and divorced twice, a marriage proposal from a man she liked in the morning light, who was much younger than her, still moved her heart.

Of course, she was also worried about how much love was in the proposal, but so what?Everything about him is given to her, and she can control him until the day she gets tired of him.

Or, she will never get tired of him, Dai Ailing thought so, with a smile on the corner of her mouth, the ringing continued, Wen Bailiang answered the phone just before she hung up, "Ai Ling, what's the matter? "

She was in a very good mood, so she didn't ask him why he took so long to answer the phone, she just said, "Where are you? Are you still busy? Do you want to have a supper together?"

"Supper? Aren't you in Beijing?" Wen Bailiang asked her.Dai Ailing has been in Beijing for the past few days, and it was the airport he sent her to.
