By 4:30 in the afternoon, the sun was sinking, and the autumn wind had grown sharper.
Du Weiliang entered the interrogation room and gave a small bow.
“Student Jiang Zhou, my apologies. The matter has already been clarified.”
“Yes, regarding the recent food poisoning incident, after investigation and evidence collection, it has been confirmed that it had no direct relation to the food delivery.”
“As long as it’s clarified, that’s fine. Hic!”
“Sorry to have taken up your time.”
At that moment, the interrogation room table was piled high with duck-neck bones, peanut shells, and melon seed husks.
Beside it, three beer cans were stacked into a little pyramid.
Jiang Zhou stretched lazily and staggered to his feet, bleary-eyed.
“So I can… hic… leave now, right? Hic!”
Du Weiliang nodded and apologized again.
Jiang Zhou waved generously with a hiccup, then picked up his phone, swaying as he left the room.
Seeing this, the corner of Du Weiliang’s eye twitched slightly.
“How much did he even eat?”
“Three boxes of duck neck, a bag of peanuts, a bag of melon seeds. Oh, and three bottles of beer plus a boxed meal.”
“Why did you buy him so much?”
“Didn’t you tell me to?”
Meanwhile, Jiang Zhou walked out of the Food Supervision Bureau.
He lit a cigarette and leaned against a black car by the roadside.
He already knew that once the venture fair was over, he would be free to go.
But as to who exactly had set up this trap, he still didn’t know.
Since the point was to stop him from getting investment, that person was probably at the venture fair too.
“Hey, sis, the venture fair’s over, right?”
“Mm. When you leave, remember to take a picture of the signature board at the entrance and send it to me. I’ll check if there are any familiar names.”
“Mainly look for anyone surnamed Zheng, Fang… oh, and also Feng.”
“Oh, I’m fine, just ate a bit too much.”
“You all go out for dinner tonight, I’ll reimburse it.”
While speaking, Jiang Zhou looked into the car’s side mirror, adjusting his hair. He still found himself irresistibly handsome.
At that moment, he noticed the emblem on the wheel.
Well, well, a “B” with wings.
A stretched Bentley. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel※fire.net
Shangjing really did have too many rich people. Probably someone here on business with the Food Supervision Bureau.
He shaded his eyes with his hand, peering into the tinted window, but the film was too dark, he couldn’t see a thing.
Inside the car, less than twenty centimeters away, sat Feng Yiyun.
She was staring at him intently through the glass.
The young man’s expression outside was almost comical.
But Feng Yiyun didn’t laugh at all.
Because everything she did today hadn’t made the slightest ripple.
Ganfanren still secured the investment.
He even walked out swaggering and mooched a free meal.
Meanwhile, she had burned favors with the Food Supervision Bureau and wasted an entire day for nothing.
In the end, nothing changed.
Everything he wanted, he got.
She tried to trip him up, but it felt like she was the one being toyed with.
And worse than that was what she’d overheard on the phone.
He wanted his people to photograph the signature board.
She knew what that meant. He was trying to find the person who set the trap.
Zheng and Fang might be old enemies of his.
But… why Feng? Why emphasize Feng?
She had always been meticulous, leaving no trace.
Especially this time, she only made a few calls, never showed her face.
Why was he suspicious of a Feng?
His intuition was terrifyingly sharp.
Just like now, as she looked at his face through the glass.
How could this person possibly be only eighteen years old?
Meanwhile, Jiang Zhou was still peering at the window.
He had no idea that barely twenty centimeters away sat a solemn-faced woman.
At the same time, Han Rou had hung up the phone.
Jiang Zhou opened his contacts and called Feng Siruo.
His little girl was probably scared stiff by now.
A call would surely calm her down.
“I’ll be back soon, don’t be afraid.
“No worries, they just gave me a meal, that’s all.
“You want me to have dinner with you tonight? That might not work… but tomorrow I can spend the whole day with you.
“Mm, I’ve got a meeting with the investors tonight. You eat with Ding Yue.
“Yeah, I got the investment. Happy?”
Hearing the excited “woohoo” on the other end, Jiang Zhou smiled toward the glass.
What he saw was his own reflection.
He didn’t realize the face was also clearly visible to Feng Yiyun inside.
After hanging up, he casually wiped a smudge off the window.
Then he turned, walking off with his unrestrained swagger, disappearing around the corner.
Feng Yiyun sat in silence for a long time.
Then she recalled Jiang Zhou’s words: “Tomorrow I’ll spend the whole day with you.”
She took out her phone and called Feng Siruo.
“Hey, Siruo, what are you doing?
“Well, your aunt is leaving Shangjing the day after tomorrow. Don’t you miss me?
“If you miss me, then take the day off tomorrow and let’s go out together.
“Oh, you have a very, very, very important thing tomorrow? Then… forget it.
“Alright, I’ll see you next time. Bye.”
After hanging up, Feng Yiyun’s expression turned strange.
A very, very, very important thing?
So important she’d skip seeing her aunt?
So it wasn’t forced togetherness after all.
The little girl is in love?
