Chapter 118

Lan He looked at Cheng Xiaojing who fell into a deep sleep in a daze.

Unlike Cheng Xiaojing, who has a fish brain, Lan He has a pretty good memory, especially those things related to Cheng Xiaojing.Guan Pengcheng took Cheng Xiaojing away from a small village in the south ten years and eleven months ago.

He clearly remembered how Cheng Xiaojing flew low and low to pass the high school graduation exam, and was stuffed into his white Buick by Guan Pengcheng with a livid face like a soulless puppet.

The action is a little rough~ a little rude, but Guan Pengcheng is a noble person in Cheng Xiaojing's life, and there is no doubt that this firm is his safe haven.

But now, Cheng Xiaojing suddenly said that he was leaving this safe haven.

What does this mean?

Lan He turned on his cell phone, flipped through the address book twice, and finally his gaze suddenly stopped on Guan Pengcheng's name.

Half a month later

Cheng Xiaojing sat next to the hospital bed again, Lan He put Cheng Xiaojing's folded clothes in the suitcase without complaint, and turned to ask him.

"Go to my house?"

Cheng Xiaojing was bending over to tie his shoelaces. The clothes on his body were brought to him by Lan He temporarily, and they were very casual - told him to bring two clothes casually in the morning, and he really took them according to his own preferences.

A place where leisure seems not suitable for going to work?Cheng Xiaojing hesitated for a while, then remembered his main purpose, and said with a smile: "Go to the office first, I..."

"Xiao Jing," Lan He stood up suddenly, deliberately walked around the end of the bed, walked to him and sat down next to him, "Have you really thought about it?"

Cheng Xiaojing looked at him inexplicably, and said, "What are you thinking about?"

Lan He handed him the resignation letter hidden in his pocket.

Cheng Xiaojing was stunned for a moment, as if recalling something, the smile on his face widened a bit.

"I thought I was dreaming." He reached out to accept the letter of resignation, opened it and took a closer look, a bright light suddenly appeared in his eyes, "Oh, you wrote this?"

On the white A4 paper, on the huge resignation letter, there is only one line of concise and clear words except for the header.

Cheng Xiaojing couldn't help laughing out loud.

"Hahahahaha, Lan He, you are really talented."

Lan He grabbed Cheng Xiaojing, who was laughing so hard that he couldn't help himself, into his arms, pinched his chin with that hand, fixed his eyes on him and said: "This is what I have concluded after reading countless resignation letters on the Internet. The most tactful one. I am the boss myself, and I know what kind of resignation letter cannot be kept.”

Seeing the seriousness on his face, Cheng Xiaojing held back a few times seriously.

Lan He simply used actions to silence him.

At 10:30 in the morning, Lan He's car stopped at the gate of Pengcheng Office belatedly.Su Weiai at the front desk had sharp eyes. She had already jumped out of the car as soon as Cheng Xiaojing got out of the car.

She smiled and took the big bag and small bag from Cheng Xiaojing's hand, and said, "Brother Xiaojing, why are you so polite, everyone is from your own family. You still bought so many."

Cheng Xiaojing looked at her and turned away with a wicked smile on her face, without any courtesy.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw a group of seniors and juniors inside greeting him, and many of them were scolding why he didn't give him a chance to pick him up.Cheng Xiaojing smiled and did not respond.

In the past, I only had them, and I always felt sorry for the friendship of these years.Now that there are people around him, how can he take up their time.

Guan Pengcheng's office opened silently amidst the noise.

Half of Guan Pengcheng protruded from the crack of the door, and shouted to Cheng Xiaojing who was standing at the door.

"Bring Lan He in!"

It just so happened that Lan He stepped in from the outside and heard Guan Pengcheng's voice. He seemed to be fixed in place by a nail, watching the surrounding people staring at him in unison, with question marks all over their heads.

Cheng Xiaojing looked back at him and said, "Let's go in together."

It was not long before summer, and the weather was still hovering around thirty degrees.Cheng Xiaojing was still a little weak after being discharged from the hospital, but he shivered as soon as he stepped into Guan Pengcheng's office.

Lan He, who was following behind him, asked, "What's wrong?"

Cheng Xiaojing glanced inside at the back of Guan Pengcheng standing by the window, turned his head and said to Lan He, "Go to my office and get a coat."

Cheng Xiaojing went in first and stood opposite Guan Pengcheng's large table.Hearing Lan He coming in through the door she left for him, she stretched out her hand for him to put on her clothes.

Guan Pengcheng turned his head at this time, straight to the point with a cold face.

"The day you woke up, Lan He called me."

Cheng Xiaojing glanced at Lan He in surprise, to be honest he had no memory of it at all.

Guan Pengcheng said again: "Do you have to resign?"

Cheng Xiaojing saw that the matter had already been seen, and there was nothing to pave the way for, so he said directly: "I have some things to do, and the office's performance has been pretty good these years. I'm afraid it will hinder you."

Guan Pengcheng asked: "Can you tell me something?"

Cheng Xiaojing lowered his head and smiled, and said, "Teacher, you ask the question knowingly."

Guan Pengcheng understood instantly, and he glanced at Lan He.Lan He quickly shook his head at him to indicate that he didn't know.

"So you have found the clue?" Guan Pengcheng probed.

Cheng Xiaojing pursed his lips and took a deep breath, and said, "To be precise, I remembered a lot of things. I left to investigate these things properly."

"What if I don't agree?" Guan Pengcheng was a little annoyed. After speaking, he suddenly felt that the tone was not good, so he made up for it a little bit, "Xiaojing, you..."

Cheng Xiaojing suddenly raised his voice to interrupt him.

"Then I will resign automatically. If I don't get my salary, I will sue you." Cheng Xiaojing puffed up his chest and said, "Teacher, I didn't intend to waste too much energy on such a simple matter. You I have more social experience than I do, so I should be able to tell that my current situation is very dangerous."

"The provocation is on my head."

"When the safe haven is no longer safe, it doesn't make sense for me to hide in it." Cheng Xiaojing finally made a decision for himself, "So, this is the only way I can go."

Lan He said: "Mr. Guan, I also told you a lot about recent events that day. Those were not fabricated by me, they were all confirmed facts by the police. Xiao Jing was involved twice... No, I have reason to believe that those actions were directed at him."

Guan Pengcheng raised his hand to stop them from speaking.

"I know what you said. Lan He, your father has reminded me many times. I always thought that I still have the ability to protect you juniors. Now..."

Cheng Xiaojing bowed and said: "Teacher, you have protected me legally for a long time. These years are enough, and I can protect myself. This time it's not like there's no return."

Guan Pengcheng glared at Lan He, and said, "Hey, that's not what I meant. Xiaojing..." When it came to this point, he suddenly hesitated to speak.

Cheng Xiaojing suddenly shut up, Lan He glanced at him intentionally.It was rare to see him standing there with an upright attitude, a serious and obedient listener.

He couldn't help thinking that elders are worthy of being elders, and he has never had this kind of treatment before.

Guan Pengcheng started to pull the drawer without any warning. Lan He watched him take out a USB flash drive from the drawer in front of him, and said earnestly: "This one, I sorted it out temporarily. It's just... too long time has passed, I can't remember many things clearly. This is something I discussed with Lan Shiyu two days ago."

As he spoke, he handed it to Cheng Xiaojing.

Cheng Xiaojing raised his eyelids, and the soles of his feet suddenly felt a little cold. He looked at Guan Pengcheng stiffly, and asked falteringly, "This..."

"About the information about your parents' case back then." Guan Pengcheng coughed lightly when he said this, and said, "Whether you blame us for hiding this from you or not, we will do the same."

Cheng Xiaojing's mouth tightened even more.

Guan Pengcheng simply put the USB flash drive in front of Cheng Xiaojing, and said: "For the details of that matter, you can ask Lan He. If you encounter any trouble, it has nothing to do with me or Lan Shiyu. We can help more or less .”

Cheng Xiaojing suddenly uttered two words: "Back then..." After speaking, he frowned and shut up.He wanted to ask Guan Pengcheng why he was doing this, but thinking that Guan Pengcheng had written all the details in a USB flash drive, it seemed a little more hypocritical to ask him in person.

Guan Pengcheng said: "I'm done talking. Since you have made up your mind, I won't stop you. Let Su Weiai handle the formalities for you."

Lan He grabbed Cheng Xiaojing's hand, thanked Guan Pengcheng, took the USB flash drive on the edge of the table, and dragged him out of the office.

Before leaving, Lan He put Cheng Xiaojing in his car first, and then went back to Su Weiai, asking her to help clean up the things in Cheng Xiaojing's office, and he would come to move them when he was free.

After finishing speaking, he smiled at her, said something chic and left first.

Su Weiai chased out from inside with an expression of being struck by lightning, grabbing the window on Cheng Xiaojing's side and refused to let go.

"Brother Hyo Kyung? What's going on?"

Cheng Xiaojing pulled himself out of countless thoughts, looked up at Su Weiai who looked terrified, reached out and patted her on the head, and said, "It's nothing, you Brother Xiaojing is leaving for a while to do something. Time It may be a long time, so I will resign for a while."

Su Weiai murmured, "No wonder the boss has been in a bad mood recently. Hey, when will you be back?"

"I don't know." Cheng Xiaojing didn't know what they would encounter in the future.

"How can I do that?" Su Weiai pulled the car window even more vigorously, "The gang of ghosts and goblins in the office are not under the control of Brother Xiaojing, and there will be accidents."

Cheng Xiaojing suddenly remembered something, and said, "Hey, I actually want you to help me with something. You still go to that mysterious forum often."

Su Weiai nodded and said, "I've been working on the things you asked me to sort out every day, and the materials are all in the office."

Cheng Xiaojing said while thinking: "Well, someone will come and move it in the afternoon. And you usually pay more penguins on WeChat?"

"Penguin, the founder of that forum really hates WeChat. He said that WeChat is a cancer that is poisoning the middle-aged and elderly society. It just so happens that I hate it too." Su Weiai asked: "If you want me, use Penguin."

Cheng Xiaojing turned his head and asked Lan He, "What about you?"

"..." Lan He, a middle-aged and elderly member, saved his image in time, "I'll get one."

Cheng Xiaojing said: "No, you can use mine. An account is more convenient."

Su Weiai looked at the two people in front of him and did not dare to over-evaluate, Cheng Xiaojing turned around and said: "In the future, just send it to me in the form of a spreadsheet, please work hard. In addition, I will post a post on that forum in a few days. Who can contact me?" Transfer your words to me immediately."

Su Weiai didn't expect that things would develop like this, so he asked eagerly: "Brother Xiaojing, can I ask what you are going to do?"

"Investigate the case." Cheng Xiaojing said: "It's a bit complicated, and I can't explain it clearly in a few words. But remember to take confidentiality measures."

"I understand! I am an organized and disciplined person!" Su Weiai stretched himself into a strip.

Cheng Xiaojing said: "Take up the resources of the firm, and after the matter is over, I will settle the bill with you all at once."

The panic on Su Weiai's face had completely disappeared.

Cheng Xiaojing also stopped and said, "Go back to work, you still have to rely on this salary to support your family."

On the way back to Lan He's small villa, Lan He said something.

"Since you are leaving, your little house..."

"It's rented, just return it. I take all the useful things with me, and the rest doesn't matter."

"..." Lan He saw such a handsome person for the first time, and he complained in a low voice, "No wonder Teacher Guan is angry and Su Weiai is so flustered. Your attitude towards life is not desirable."

Cheng Xiaojing smiled noncommittally, and said, "It's not good for you to catch my duckweed?"

Lan He snorted and said, "I'm so honored."
