At first, I thought I misheard, so I pricked up my ears and listened carefully again.
Indeed, it really was him!
Gu Yuanzhou’s voice was distinctive, deep and appealingly magnetic, very pleasant to the ear.
Since I knew him, this kind of voice was unique to him alone, highly recognizable, and could be identified immediately upon hearing.
Although the office door was ajar, there were other employees moving around nearby, so I didn’t dare to eavesdrop blatantly and had to stand at a distance.
The secretary made me a cup of coffee.
“Miss, you may wait in the visitor lounge over there. When the chairman is free, I’ll call you.”
“Oh, okay!”
I took the coffee and sat down on the sofa.
In my boredom, I walked over to the window to take a look outside.
This glance nearly scared the life out of me.
In the open parking lot up front,
There sat Ding Yinuo’s Lamborghini, a car so ostentatious that it couldn’t be missed.
From a distance, it was instantly recognizable.
Moreover, as I was watching the car, a man in a white shirt and sunglasses was getting out of it.
I quickly took out my phone, captured the scene and sent the picture to Ding Yinuo, confronting him,
“What are you doing here?”
He promptly replied,
“Helping you clean up your mess!”
“Crazy! I don’t need it, I can handle it myself!”
“So, can’t I just come to enjoy the view?”
“Ding Yinuo, don’t get involved!”
If I act on my own, I can strike quickly and neatly.
If Ding Yinuo gets involved, things could get complicated and messy.
If he caused an accident, it would be hard for me to control the situation.
“Okay, I won’t cause any trouble for you then.”
With his reassurance, I felt relieved.
I finished my coffee.
Gu Yuanzhou still hadn’t appeared, so I took a stroll around the company.
In the past, Damaha and Little Juanmao both worked in the liaison department, so I planned to check there to see if I’d bump into them.
However, what surprised me was that it seemed like my uncle’s company had recently undergone a staffing change.
The department heads were all new faces, all unfamiliar to me.
Even the finance head had been replaced with someone else.
I walked around the upper levels of the company and found something seemed off.
But upon careful inspection, I couldn’t identify what was wrong.
Soon, the secretary found me.
“Miss, you wanted to see the chairman, right? He’s free now.”
“Oh, excellent!”
I turned around swiftly, just in time to see Gu Yuanzhou’s retreating figure enter the elevator.
I couldn’t understand what was Gu Yuanzhou doing here?
However, whatever he was here for, it was best not to see him.
Before long, I stepped into the chairman’s office under the secretary’s lead.
Song Shixiong, sitting behind his desk, looked quite haggard recently, and his hair had turned gray at the temples.
He must not have had an easy time lately, with his niece’s death, his wife’s illness, and having to manage such a large corporation.
Song Shixiong has two sons, my older and younger cousins.
One is a well-respected lawyer, the other is a commercial prodigy on Wall Street. Both of them have established successful careers overseas.
However, both sons severed their relationship with their father, and none of them were willing to take over his company.
In fact, I had some idea about the situation.
When Gu Yuanzhou was working with Song Shixiong, Song favored Gu a lot, even wanting to adopt him as his godson and hand over his business empire to him.
Perhaps it was this special favor that drove both of his sons away.
That’s just my guess, the truth remains unknown.
When I entered, Song Shixiong was looking at a photo on the desk.
I glanced at it, a family photo.
“Ahem, Mr. Song!”
Only then did Song Shixiong look up at me.
“Who are you?”
Song Shixiong had never seen me before, he didn’t recognize me…
“Mr. Song, I am uh …”
I had previously claimed to be a nurse from the city hospital as an excuse to get in.
Now that it comes to the point, I obviously can’t continue to call myself a nurse.
“Mr. Song, I am a friend of Song Yun! We are all very upset about Ayun’s death! My close friends and I have discussed it, we think there is something suspicious about Ayun’s death!”
Song Shixiong’s face changed.
He stood up, walked to the office door, and closed it.
Obviously, Song Shixiong was very alert too.
“My Ayun does have a few close friends, I remember… one was a teacher! I’ve never seen you before!”
“Yes, Wenya! And Jian Jing…We often hang out together, you can call Wenya to confirm, here’s her number.”
To prove my identity, I wrote Wenya’s phone number on a business card and handed it to Song Shixiong.
Song Shixiong took the business card I handed over, his brows furrowed,
“What do you think is suspicious about Ayun’s death?”
I originally planned to lay everything out for Song Shixiong.
To convince him to support my plan, making it much easier for me to find Damaha and Little Juanmao.
Moreover, if he could ally with us, it would be easier to deal with Gu Yuanzhou.
“We suspect… that Gu Yuanzhou killed Ayun, so, a few of us came together with a plan to get justice for Ayun.”
“Really? Gu Yuanzhou is such a beast?”
Anger was visible on Song Shixiong’s face, his hands behind his back, pacing.
“Yes!”
Song Shixiong slammed his fist fiercely onto his desk.
“I knew it! I knew there was a problem with this beast! Unfortunately, Ayun didn’t listen to me then, she was intent on marrying him.”
Song Shixiong seemed very upset, after he sat down, he covered his face with his hands, his body trembling slightly, remaining silent for a long time.
Seeing his sadness, I tried my best to comfort him,
“Mr. Song, Ayun won’t have died in vain, we will definitely find out the truth and send Gu Yuanzhou to jail.”
Upon hearing this, Song Shixiong immediately looked up at me, “Do you guys have any evidence?”
“For now, it’s just the evidence given in the news… right now, there’s something that needs your cooperation, and that’s these two people, Damaha and Little Juanmao. We suspect that on the day of the fire, one of them was the arsonist at Golden Bay!”
My words caught Song Shixiong’s attention.
His face changed again instantly.
He walked over to the window with his hands behind his back, deep in thought for a long time before turning around.
“Actually, Gu Yuanzhou was just here!”
I rose to my feet in surprise, “What was he here for?”
“Just like you, he was also inquiring about Damaha and Little Juanmao!”
“Where are they now?”
“Well, these two resigned three months ago! They’re not in the company at the moment!”
I never would have expected that Gu Yuanzhou had beat me to the punch.
But I guess I didn’t make the trip for nothing.
“Then I hate to trouble you, but I would like to know their contact information as well as their home address, I’ll go ask around their home.”
“No problem!”
Song Shixiong called over the human resources manager, asking them to write down both men’s phone numbers and home addresses for me.
“Thank you, Mr. Song!”
“Don’t mention it, if you have any further information, feel free to contact me anytime. Also, leave your contact information with me, so if I ever get any information about these two men, I can inform you.”
I was really grateful for Song Shixiong’s assistance, so I quickly jotted down my phone number for him.
Suddenly, a secretary brought a man in,
“Chairman, this gentleman is looking for you!”
I was nearly startled out of my wits when I saw who it was, it was him!!
