After leaving the Nan Family, Lin Wan ‘Er drove Jiang Cheng to Nan Huaili’s company. Originally, Mrs. Nan wanted the butler to go with them, but Jiang Cheng denied it. The Nan Family only had Mrs. Nan, Nan Jing, the butler and the nanny left. If the butler left and something happened, no one could do anything.
However, before he left, Jiang Cheng still confirmed with Mrs. Nan that someone would intercept them when they arrived at the company. They would be clued in about everything. The surveillance video was ready. Mrs. Nan reminded them not to reveal the tape to the public because the police had already taken the original copy.
After the car was parked, they came to the company entrance. Jiang Cheng took out his phone to call a number. Soon, a woman around thirty ran out. She wore a professional suit and gold-rimmed glasses. She had a typical face but a fantastic body. She looked sharp.
“Are you Mr. Jiang?” The secretary held the phone and asked directly.
“Please follow me.” The woman turned and guided them in. The woman’s eyes scanned Lin Wan ‘Er. Her interest in Lin Wan ‘Er was greater than her interest in Jiang Cheng. To avoid capturing attention, Lin Wan ‘Er put on a long coat and fully covered her body. In response to the secretary’s interest, Lin Wan ‘Er merely returned a glance. The secretary quickly looked away. She led Lin Wan ‘Er and Jiang Cheng to a quiet room. It looked like a small meeting room. As the woman turned around, she fetched them water. “My name is Fang Weiwei. You can call me Weiwei. I am CEO Nan’s secretary. I was the one to discover that he had disappeared.”
Even though there was no one around them, the woman kept her voice low. It was clear that she was nervous. Her hands were twisted together. They asked her some basic questions, like the time of disappearance for Nan Huaili, and whether he had acted strangely before that. She answered everything. They matched Mrs. Nan’s story.
“Where is the video?”
“It’s with one of our technicians,” Weiwei answered. “I’ve notified him. He’ll be here soon.”
“No. No.” Weiwei quickly explained. “Mr. Jiang, you’ve misunderstood me. I called him here for a reason. He has discovered something.” Weiwei said the last part very softly. Her expression was odd.
About five minutes later, rapid footsteps came from outside. A man with unruly hair walked in. Her back was arched, and he carried a black laptop bag. The man introduced himself as Du Feng. He was mainly responsible for the company’s technical issues. He didn’t waste time and took out his laptop.
Based on the video angle, the camera was placed at the top of the corridor. The view was not bad. Weiwei pointed at a door in the video. “That is CEO Nan’s office. There is only one exit.”
Soon, the video changed. A man walked from the corridor to the door and entered it. Jiang Cheng noticed that the time was 9.01 pm. Nan Huaili had probably finished his business meeting and returned to his office. Mrs. Nan said her husband called her at 8 pm to say that he would not return home. It matched.
Then, Du Feng began to fast-forward the video. Soon, Nan Huaili appeared again. The door opened, and he held something slightly reflective. It was small. It looked like a coffee mug. This was confirmed by Weiwei. She said it was CEO Nan’s personal cup. It had a cute bear pattern. It was a gift from CEO Nan’s daughter. He had always treasured it.
Nan Huaili moved down the corridor. He disappeared for two minutes before appearing again. He came up bearing the cup. He opened the door and walked through it. The time was 11. 44 pm.
Then, Nan Huaili didn’t show up again. The following person to appear in the video was Weiwei. The sun was already up. She stopped before Nan Huaili’s office. She knocked, but there was no answer. So she started to call. Weiwei paused in the video. She placed her phone beside her ear. Then, she glanced at the door attentively as if she had discovered something.
Jiang Cheng could guess that she probably heard the phone inside the office. It was Nan Huaili’s phone. While Jiang Cheng was thinking, he sensed the atmosphere around him change. He turned to Du Feng and noticed the strangeness on his face. Weiwei acted the same way.
Lin Wan ‘Er was unfazed. She always appeared lazy and unbothered. She was like that ever since Jiang Cheng knew her. She didn’t seem to care about anything in the world. Whether Nan Huaili was still alive or not, Jiang Cheng didn’t think she cared. She went to the Nan Family because it was the appropriate thing to do.
Considering a technician was there, Jiang Cheng was confused.
“Have you discovered something unusual?” Jiang Cheng asked Du Feng directly. Du Feng was taken aback. Then, he became fearful. He had no idea how Jiang Cheng had found out when he hadn’t said anything. Was Jiang Cheng with the police?
Jiang Cheng shut him down with a look. Du Feng swallowed nervously. “Sister Wei, can you take a look at the door… If it’s locked?”
Weiwei walked to the door and looked out. After ensuring no one was around, she closed the door and shook her head at them. Du Feng closed the video. Then, he clicked open a standard document on the desktop. It contained a video that was approximately ten minutes long. It was a clip from the longer video. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelFɪre.net
Once the video started, the door opened, and Nan Huaili, with the coffee mug, walked out. Then, Du Feng switched on the software. The video paused. He played it slowly, frame by frame.
He paused the video suddenly.
Du Feng enlarged the frozen frame. Jiang Cheng’s eyes trembled, and his breathing became erratic.
