She was fired after she refused to be the CEO's dog licker.

But You He's message was full of doubt: "Xu Xu, are you really okay? Why did you take so long to reply? Did something happen during this time?"

Only then did I realize that I had sent a message to Youhe when I returned to the community and entered the elevator. An hour had passed since then.

Yuhe is so perceptive, of course he would feel something was wrong.

I didn’t want to make him worry: “My phone ran out of battery and shut down automatically. I just turned it on.”

In addition to not wanting to worry Yuhe, another reason was that I realized that my phone might not be safe, and it would be safer and more reliable to tell some important secrets in person.

So, without waiting for Youhe to ask again, I immediately sent another message: "I'm too tired today, go to bed early, let's make an appointment for dinner on Wednesday, see you at the usual place."

The words the other party was typing were displayed above the dialog box for a long time, but Yu He finally sent back only one word: "OK."

I put away my phone and drove home immediately.

I am indeed very tired today, but some things finally got definite answers and I feel at ease.

The next day.

Yuan Tianye hadn't contacted me yet, but Officer Lu contacted me first: "Ms. Meng, there has been a new breakthrough in the case. Please come to the police station."

"What? What kind of breakthrough has been made in the case?" I was very surprised by this, and at the same time, I felt a little excited. Holding my breath, I asked tentatively, "Is there a twist in Zhu Ling's confession?"

"Well, and..." Officer Lu's calm voice came from the other end of the phone. He said a few more words, then told me to go to the police station to sign in time, and then hung up the phone.

But I still held the phone in my hand, in a daze for a long time.

At this moment, the door of my office was pushed open from the outside, and Yuan Tianye, with gray hair, squeezed in excitedly. His pair of peach blossom eyes were so beautiful that people couldn't take their eyes away.

"Sister! I'm here! You haven't seen me for so long, do you miss me?"

Without waiting for me to say anything, he sat directly in front of me and said, "I miss my sister so much. It feels like I haven't seen her for more than ten years."

"It's only been a few days since we last met, how come it's been more than ten years?" It was only then that I came to my senses and looked at him with a smile.

"It feels like a long time since we last met. It's been more than ten years now." Yuan Tianye answered playfully, with a light in his peach blossom eyes and a clear and clean look in his eyes.

This guy is really...

I looked at his face, which was obviously darker and thinner than before, and at his passionate and sincere eyes, and my heart was moved again: "Yes, it's only been more than ten years since we last met. Your face has changed a lot in more than ten years. You have quickly gone from a young handsome boy to an old man."

"Ah? Really? Sister, you are scaring me. I went to Aunt Zhang's beauty salon to wash my face. Do I still look so haggard?" Yuan Tianye stopped smiling and playing around and started to get anxious.

I originally wanted to tease him, but when I heard that he had a special beauty treatment before coming to see me, I knew that he had experienced more and more cruel things in the past few days than what was shown on his face at the moment.

I was no longer in the mood to tease him, and I couldn't help but stretch out my fingertips to touch his head.

"Never mind, let it be, business is more important." Yuan Tianye grabbed my hand and pulled me to get up and go out, "Sister, come on, I'll take you to see the good news."

"Are we going to the police station?" I asked as he took me up.

Yuan Tianye suddenly stopped and looked back at me in surprise: "Sister, how did you know that the good news I brought you was at the police station?"

"Officer Lu just called me and told me to go to the police station to sign. He said Zhu Ling suddenly changed her confession and said that she was indeed instructed by someone to delete the surveillance video." I looked at him and whispered, "It's been so long. Zhu Ling suddenly changed her confession. There must be a special reason. I asked, and Officer Lu said that Zhu Ling's son went to see her this morning. Her son has been in Yongcheng. Did you bring her son from Yongcheng to Beijing-Hong Kong?"

"Oh, Officer Lu, how come he leaked the surprise I carefully prepared in advance?" Yuan Tianye pouted when he heard this, "I'm not happy!"

"But I am very happy. Thank you, Xiaoye, you always help me and help me so much." But I held his hand tightly.

He was the one who assisted the police in bringing Zhu Ling back from Yongcheng. Now he is the one who is trying to find Zhu Ling's son and prompting Zhu Ling to change her confession. Xiao Ye's love is sincere and pure, which is expressed not only in words but also in actions.

He was a young man who was born and raised in a wealthy family. He was fair and handsome. Now he is darker and thinner. He must have suffered a lot in the mountains and forests in the past few days.

I really feel emotional and distressed.

Yuan Tianye didn't care at all: "What are you talking about? Isn't it normal for a boyfriend to do something for his girlfriend?"

"Huh? What boyfriend and girlfriend?" I was stunned and couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Tianye started to play dumb, not bringing up the subject anymore. He just rushed to help me carry my bag: "Let's go, let's go to the police station quickly."

But when I walked out of the office with him, he suddenly raised his voice and said, "Girlfriend, how about taking your boyfriend's car today?"

This kid started to act naughty again. I reached out and patted him, scolding him: "Stinky boy, stop messing around..."

But when I looked up, I bumped into Yan Dong and Feng Wenting standing together. Both of them looked at me and Yuan Tianye, but the expressions on their faces were different.

A smile full of joy, with eyes curved with laughter.

The other one frowned, his eyes filled with suspicion and solemnity.

I was now so focused on getting to the police station that I didn't have time to talk to them. I could only say hello and leave quickly.

But I still heard Feng Wenting's laughter behind me: "Director Yuan and Manager Meng are so sweet and loving. Director Yuan has only been out for a few days, and he came to see Manager Meng as soon as he came back. It's so happy to see them as a couple. Don't you think so, Teacher Yan?"

"They are not dating, they must be having something else. Wenting, don't speculate about other people's relationships. It's not good."

"Director Yuan just called Manager Meng his girlfriend. They must be in a relationship. I'm not making random guesses. I'm stating the facts."

Yan Dong seemed to be choked by Feng Wenting's words and stopped talking.

I don’t know what happened next because Yuan Tianye dragged me downstairs, got into his car, and drove straight to the police station.

At the police station, Officer Lu told me in detail about Zhu Ling's new confession: "Zhu Ling confessed that she was found and bribed in the early morning of the second day after the incident. Then she deleted the corridor surveillance video from the previous night and took the money and went directly back to her hometown."

"The person who bribed her was Lin Xixi, right?" I noticed a detail that Officer Lu did not mention, so I asked.
