Chapter 115

mpany."Mr. Fu, I'm sorry to trouble you." Fu Yan said softly.International long-haul flights, many people are resting and sleeping.Fu Hanlin took the warm water, said a thank you, felt the temperatur...Huo's Group, top floor CEO office.

Cao Fang entered, knocking on the door while holding a stack of files.

Originally, he was punished by Mr. Huo to stand at the front desk on the first floor. His time wasn't up yet, but this morning when he arrived at the company, Mr. Huo surprisingly allowed him to return to the CEO's office ahead of schedule. At that moment, he politely thanked him without revealing his feelings, but inside, he was ecstatic. He wouldn't have to face those female employees anymore.

He went through each file one by one, showing it to Huo Mingzheng for a review and signature. It was from yesterday's trip to Guangcheng where he had accumulated some files that hadn't been dealt with.

After finishing his tasks, Huo Mingzheng slid his office chair back and leaned against the backrest, lowering his head to light a cigarette. "How's the investigation going"

Cao Fang knew what he was referring to. As he sorted through files, he said, "I carefully checked the nurses on duty that day and Chen Rang's food. Besides Season Two Shao ordering someone to tamper with his food to cause diarrhea, there were no other abnormalities."

"Is there anything else unusual" Huo Mingzheng repeated in a low voice.

Cao Fang shook his head, puzzled and said, "Who on earth would want to kill Chen Rang You suspected Shen Wei before, but it wasn't her."

Huo Mingzheng brushed the ash off his cigarette, leaving embers that scattered into the porcelain ashtray. They rolled as they fell, creating a small smudge that was hard to notice unless you looked closely.

"Watertight, just like the old days."

Cao Fang was startled.

He quickly remembered that when Fu Yan read at university, a male student had secretly followed her, dragging her into a small grove on campus with ulterior motives. However, other classmates discovered him and drove him away.

Fu Yan was frightened. The boy had been beaten into the hospital by Ji Lin, but not long after, the boy committed suicide by jumping from the hospital window, leaving behind a suicide note saying that his incident had been posted on the school network and he was cyberbullied. He couldn't bear the psychological pressure and decided to end his life.

That's the end of that.

Cao Fang, having followed Huo Mingzheng for a long time, had also developed the ability to keep his emotions hidden. Even so, there was no hiding the shock in his voice: "You're saying that both things could have been done by the same person"

Ho Mingzheng took a puff of cigarette, looked out the window at the afternoon sun in its full glory, narrowed his eyes and exhaled a plume of smoke, saying coldly, "Do you think there are so many coincidences in the world Dealing with people like Yan Yu Tu who have ulterior motives, things keep happening one after another. First, the boy jumped off the building, then Chen Rang died, and now Huang was almost killed in a car accident."

"It couldn't possibly be a coincidence."

Cao Fang's spine turned cold, and goosebumps appeared on his skin. "If these three things are really done by the same person, it would be terrifying," he thought.

......

At this afternoon, Fu Yan arrived at the Ho Group project site. Under the guidance of the secretary, she was heading towards the conference room when she unexpectedly met Huo Jingshu face to face.

After graduating from university, Huo Jing shu went to work at the Huo family company and is now a small leader in the project department. When Fu Yan came here last time, she happened to be on a business trip.

I didn't expect to run into my nemesis again. We just had a conflict at the old house this morning, and now we bumped into each other again this afternoon.

Huo Jingshu immediately put on a sour face when she saw her. "What are you doing here"

"Sister, who is she" Xiao Xia secretly pulled Fu Yan's sleeve. This was her first time coming to Huo Group, are all the people here so fierce She was scared!

Fu Yan took the document in her hand, "Find Director Lei."

Of course, Huo Jingshu knew about the cooperation between the Huo family and Xincheng, and she also knew that it was Fu Yan who had obtained this cooperation from Huo Mingzheng's hands.

As soon as she thought about her second brother speaking up for Fu Yan and giving such a good opportunity to her, anger welled up inside her. "Your second brother only treats you well because you look like Rique. Don't get too carried away!"

Xia Xia's head is big, what second brother

Fu Yan quietly clenched her fingers, her nails digging into the tender flesh of her palm. It wasn't even a tenth as painful as what she felt inside.

"Ms. Fu!" a deep, middle-aged man's voice suddenly interrupted.

Ho Jing-shu saw that General Lei had arrived, glanced at Fu Yan, and left.

As soon as she entered the meeting room, Fu Yan plunged into work. Some of the details regarding previous collaborations hadn't been clearly communicated yet.

The secretary came in midway, bringing water. She accidentally knocked over the tea, and the scalding hot water spilled all over Fu Yan's hand.

She hissed, and Xia next to her cried out, "Sister Yan, your hand is red hot!"

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Miss Fu. It wasn't intentional." The secretary said anxiously.

Fu Yan unintentionally raised her eyes and glanced at the woman's face. It wasn't the secretary who had brought her in before. She had seen her once when she was at Huo JingShu's side in college. She was a friend of Huo JingShu's, whose name seemed to be Su Hong. She also worked at Huo Group.

"Su Hong, how did you come to deliver water" Manager Lei hurriedly stood up and looked at Fu Yan's wrist.

Her hand was already injured and covered with gauze. The hot water seeped through the gauze, obscuring the original wound. All that was visible was a red rim around the edge of the gauze.

Su Hong replied, "Xiao Zhang was feeling a little dizzy, and I happened to be in the tea room, so I came over to deliver it for her. I apologize, Ms. Fu."

Right now, Fu Yan didn't want to dwell on anything or fall into conspiracy theories. She quickly went to the restroom and splashed cold water on her back of her hands.

Su Hong went back to her workstation and saw Huo Jingshu there. She walked over triumphantly, "Jingshu, I just helped you vent your anger."

Huo Jingshu was still angry about Fu Yan's matter and said in a bad tone, "Oh, what's wrong"

Su Hong repeated what had just happened, vividly describing how Fu Yan was burned and in so much pain that she was about to cry.

Who knew Huo Jing's usually calm face turned grim, as she angrily rebuked, "I dislike Fu Yan, but I never intended to treat her like this. Did you expect me to seek revenge through you!"

She was so angry that she turned and left, rummaging through her office until she found a tube of burn medicine that expired in a month. She went toward the restroom.

"Here!" she snapped, tossing the burn cream onto the sink.

Fu Yan watched her back, helplessly tearing open the gauze. The burns around the gauze were minor, but the wound underneath, hidden by the gauze, had been soaked in water and the ointment had dissolved, revealing the charred flesh, bleeding from the scalding.as wrong. It was my vanity that made me lie about being a relative of the Huo family. I'll go back right away and clarify with them. Please forgive me this once."Huo Mingzheng's side profile was cold...
