"you……"

Zhou Ming's brain shut down in an instant, and it took dozens of seconds to react.

"So that guy is..."

"He investigated Special Assistant Liao today. He found Special Assistant Liao's husband."

"The husband of Special Assistant Liao? Ah, that's the one, the one who works in the Affiliated Hospital of S University." Zhou Ming scratched his head and thought back.

"Thank you, Zhou Ming," Chen Yuanzhen smiled upon hearing this.

"Without you, I'm afraid I would really be blind and deaf, without knowing anything."

"Well, you arranged for me to investigate, otherwise, I didn't expect..."

Chen Yuanzhen just smiled, but remained silent, and his smile seemed a little pale.

Zhou Ming is a smart man, of course he understood where the unhappiness in Chen Yuanzhen's heart came from, so he also shut up and dared not speak more.

Special assistant Liao did not tell Chen Yuanzhen who her husband was, but that didn't mean Chen Yuanzhen wouldn't investigate by herself.

Not long after Liao Tezhu got married, Chen Yuanzhen asked Zhou Ming to check the details of Liao Tezhu's husband.

If possible, Chen Yuanzhen naturally didn't want to do this. After all, who wants to guard the people around him like a thief?

However, Liao Tezhu's various behaviors at that time made Chen Yuanzhen feel worried.

Chen Yuanzhen didn't want to make such a low-level and fatal mistake as Xiao Qiang.

When Liao Tezhu got married, he just took half a day off to get the certificate, and he didn't accept red envelopes or hold banquets.

Chen Yuanzhen instinctively found it strange that he married his true love whom he said had been in love with him for nearly ten years, but didn't even hold a wedding.

At first, Chen Yuanzhen thought it was Liao Te's helper who was worried about the expenses, so she generously said that she could give her half a year's paid vacation to travel abroad with her husband, and Chen Yuanzhen would reimburse all the expenses.But Special Assistant Liao still refused, and he refused without thinking, without the slightest hesitation or temptation.

All this made Chen Yuanzhen feel too abnormal.

She understood that Liao Tezhu didn't want to talk about it if he didn't take the initiative to mention it, and as the boss, Chen Yuanzhen had no right to ask about the private life of his subordinates, but after all...

Her situation is somewhat special.

So as early as that time, she sent Zhou Ming to investigate secretly, and finally found out that the place where the other party worked was in the Affiliated Hospital of S University.

Until that day, the two rushed to the hospital. On the way, Chen Yuanzhen waited countless times for Special Assistant Liao to take the initiative to tell her all this.

But she still kept silent.

Zhou Ming couldn't say too much about Special Assistant Liao.He is very clear about the weight of special assistant liao in Chen Yuanzhen's heart. In recent years, the two have said that they are superiors and subordinates, but in fact special assistant liao is sometimes more like an elder sister to Chen Yuanzhen.

So even if he understood that Liao Tezhu had done some things that were not in line with Chen Yuanzhen's wishes, he would not talk too much.This is the basic emotional intelligence of his subordinates.

Sure enough, Chen Yuanzhen didn't say any more, and turned the conversation to Gao Xiu.

"Gao Xiu's side..." She pondered for a moment, then said, "Go and check..."

Suddenly, a light flashed in Chen Yuanzhen's head.

She remembered the series of numbers that Ji Cixi had told her.

198807016

As soon as she heard this string of numbers, she knew it was a special day. Before, she thought it was Gao Xiu's birthday, but thinking about it now, it was very strange.

"Zhou Ming, go check it out. 30 years ago, there was a big news in City Z. No, not just City Z, but also the big and small cities near City Z, as long as you don't deviate too far, check them all carefully."

"Did you think of something?"

"Do you remember the string of numbers I asked you to look up before? No matter how I think about it, I think Gao Xiu's serial number must be meaningful to him and the old man."

"I see, I'll check right away."

After all, Zhou Ming hung up the phone.

Now that Gao Xiu was digging around her like a mole, Chen Yuanzhen naturally didn't need to give him room.

Speaking of digging people's details, Chen Yuanzhen should be much more proficient than Gao Xiu.

At this time, the few photos had been completely burned, and Chen Yuanzhen threw away the discarded steel rods he picked up casually to play with the ashes, got up and walked out of the park.

Gao Xiu is not in the group now, Ji Cixi should be able to answer the phone.

Chen Yuanzhen dialed the phone, but the busy tone on the phone only rang once, and the call was cut off.Within half a minute, Ji Cixi sent a text message.

"Chen Yuanshuo is here."

Chen Yuanshuo?

Chen Yuanzhen's face was once again clouded.

Chen Yuanshuo looking for Gao Xiu?

What is he going to do?

Is it...

She thought of Cui Jinxian's beautiful but dangerous face.

Cui Jinxian knew Chen Yuanzhen's background, and she also knew that Ji Xu was not unfamiliar with her.If she was the one who assigned Chen Yuanshuo to find Gao Xiu, then... probably the ulterior motives were not about drinking.

Thinking of this, Chen Yuanzhen's heart suddenly tugged.

Could it be that they are looking for Ji Cixi?

but……

Chen Yuanzhen's thumb kept rubbing the ring on his index finger.

If Chen Yuanshuo really wanted to find Ji Cixi, then Ji Cixi probably couldn't send messages to him just now.

What the hell is that guy trying to do?

After Chen Yuanzhen thought about it, she felt that her head seemed to be stuffed with a mess. She rubbed the center of her brows and walked forward quickly.

At the same time,

Chen Yuanshuo was sitting in Gao Xiu's huge office. While there was no one around him, he leaned on the sofa and carefully looked at the decorations in the office with his mouth curled up.

"Tch, the old man really loves him in such a big office."

Chen Yuanshuo sneered.

He pushed his glasses, stood up, and paced the office.

He finally walked to Gao Xiu's desk, looked at the nameplate on Gao Xiu's desk, and after a while, reached out to pick it up.

"It's just the old man's dog..."

Chen Yuanshuo looked contemptuously at the word "Gaoxiu" on the name tag, but the haze in his eyes became more and more serious.

"This kind of thing dares to embarrass me at the meeting... Heh, when I get the group, the first thing I do is to kick you out and make you a lost dog..."

Before he finished speaking, there was a knock on the door in the room. Chen Yuanshuo was so frightened that his hands shook, and with a "clang", the name tag in his hand fell to the ground.

Ji Cixi, who was holding tea outside the door, faintly heard voices in the office, and knew that it was Chen Yuanshuo who was messing with things.

Chen Yuanshuo hurriedly picked up the name tag and put it away, then quickly returned to the sofa and sat down. He straightened his clothes to make himself look more natural, then put on a smile and said:

"Please come in."

After receiving Chen Yuanshuo's permission, Ji Cixi reached out and tore off the name tag on his chest and put it in his pocket before twisting the doorknob and entering the office.

Ji Cixi stepped into the office step by step on high heels, and walked towards Chen Yuanshuo step by step.

The closer she was to Chen Yuanshuo, the more Ji Cixi felt that every step she took was like stepping on a sharp knife edge, which made her extremely painful.

sister's death.

If Chen Yuanshuo hadn't told Ji Ciwen about the death of his parents because he was looking for his sister, then Ji Xu would never have no mother again.

And she,

There will be no more sisters.

Ji Cixi's face was still calm, but his heart was full of turmoil.

From the day she reached an agreement with Chen Yuanzhen, she swore in her heart that she would destroy the Chen brothers. Chen Yuanyang had already lost, and Chen Yuanshuo was sitting in front of her.

Ji Cixi walked to the coffee table and bent down to place the tray in front of Chen Yuanshuo, and then put on a smile that an assistant should have when facing his boss.

"Deputy general manager, your tea."

"Oh good." Chen Yuanshuo raised his head, he habitually wanted to take a look at the other party's breastplate, but found it was all bare, which made him a little strange.Just when he was about to ask a question, Ji Cixi spoke first:

"The Human Resources Department has granted Lawyer Gao a day off, so you may not be able to wait for him today."

This is an eviction order.

Chen Yuanshuo glanced at Ji Cixi when he heard the words, and saw that although she had a smile on her face, her eyes were full of indifference.

He snorted disdainfully, picked up the teacup and took a sip of the tea, then looked at Ji Cixi and said:

"Is your lawyer really busy or are you avoiding me on purpose?"

Ji Cixi didn't speak.

"As long as I come to him, he will either accompany the chairman or ask for leave. Then you are his assistant, come and tell me, when is your lawyer here, huh?"

After Chen Yuanshuo finished speaking, he stared closely at Ji Cixi's face, trying to see a little fear from her face.

However, Ji Cixi's face was still calm, except for a formulaic smile.

Not only that, facing Chen Yuanshuo's questioning, Ji Cixi didn't even say a word, but just stood aside slightly with her head bowed.

After a moment of stalemate between the two, Chen Yuanshuo suddenly let out a low laugh.

"What's the matter, did I scare you? It's so scary that you can't even speak?" He asked after laughing.

Hearing this, Ji Cixi raised her eyes slightly, pretending to be embarrassed and said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, Deputy General Manager."

"It's nothing." Chen Yuanshuo waved his hand, "How can you blame your assistant for this matter. Then, you should contact your lawyer now and tell him that I will sit here and wait for him today, and let him think about it for himself." Do you want to come see me?"

Chen Yuanshuo looked very determined, as if he would live here without seeing Gao Xiu, Ji Cixi could only take out his mobile phone from his pocket to contact Gao Xiu.

Ji Cixi was about to speak after the call was made, but Chen Yuanshuo suddenly said:

"Turn on speakerphone."

Ji Cixi was startled when he heard the words, and stared blankly at Chen Yuanshuo.Chen Yuanshuo put his hands in the pockets of his trousers, looking lazy.

"Any questions?"

Ji Cixi pursed her lips, and moved the phone away from her ear.

She turned on the speakerphone, and Gao Xiu's voice was immediately magnified and sounded in the office.

"What do you need from me?" Gao Xiu asked while driving.

"Yes," Ji Cixi replied, paused for a moment, she glanced at the huge French windows of the office from the corner of her eye, and then slightly turned the corner of her mouth to show an apologetic smile.

"The department store is holding a seasonal event, and invited a few singers to sing, so the sound quality here is a bit poor, can you hear my voice clearly?"

The building of the Chen Group is not far from the department store. Today is indeed the day when the department store is holding a big seasonal event. It has been noisy since nine o'clock in the morning, and it is estimated that it will not stop until the afternoon.

Gao Xiu smiled knowingly when he heard the words, knowing that there must be someone listening by Ji Cixi's side, so he said:

"If you have something to say, just say it."

"The deputy general manager is in your office now, and he said he will wait here until you come back."

"Really?" Gao Xiu pretended to be surprised, "Tsk, that's a bit tricky."

Chen Yuanshuo raised his eyebrows, he really wanted to hear what Gao Xiu had to say next.

"The chairman wants me to play chess with him today. Well, I just came back from a neighboring city and am heading there... so, you can ask the deputy general manager if there is any urgent matter. If there is an urgent matter, I will Talk to the chairman and go back to the group first."

As soon as Chen Zhishan was moved out, Chen Yuanshuo was so angry that he cursed in his heart.

The ghost believes that Chen Zhishan really wants him to play chess with him, but his high cultivation is nothing more than using the old man as a cover because he is a celebrity in front of Chen Zhishan.

But although Chen Yuanshuo knew it in his heart, he didn't dare to really test it, so he could only put on a bad face.

Ji Cixi looked up at Chen Yuanshuo, meaning to ask him if he should continue to wait for Gao Xiu.Chen Yuanshuo waved his hands with a black face, and Ji Cixi then said, "Okay, I will convey it."

As soon as Ji Cixi hung up the phone, Chen Yuanshuo sneered: "You lawyers can also play chess?"

Ji Cixi still smiled: "I don't know about that."

Although Ji Cixi's answer was deceptive, Chen Yuanshuo couldn't say anything, he could only sneer.

"Heh," he looked at Ji Cixi's face, "hehehe—"

Although Chen Yuanshuo's sneer was full of anger, Ji Cixi didn't show the slightest fear, but still kept a polite smile.

"Then please tell Lawyer Gao." After laughing enough, Chen Yuanshuo took a deep breath and said, "I will come to visit tomorrow, and I hope he can arrange everything properly at that time."

After he finished speaking, Ji Cixi turned around and bowed respectfully to his back.

After raising her head, the smile on Ji Cixi's face was gone, she raised her hand, looked at the bloodstains in her palm, her eyes gradually turned cold little by little.
