Chapter 100 I get scared when you get angry

The night is as dark as ink and the neon lights are flashing.

Outside the gate of Lu Group, Lu Tingzhou leaned against a black Maybach, his posture lazy, a cigarette between his fingertips, and a hint of fatigue between his brows.

Bluish-white smoke flowed out from between his thin lips, blurring his angular profile and adding a touch of allure as it swirled around him.

Sang Wan walked out of the elevator and saw him at a glance.

She saw the man waiting for her in the smoke.

Her heart suddenly softened.

Sang Wan couldn't help but smile when she saw him, someone she hadn't seen for a whole day. She almost trotted over to him, the sound of her high heels hitting the ground crisp and urgent.

Like a young swallow returning to its nest, she threw herself into his arms with joy.

"I miss you so much."

A muffled voice, with a coquettish nasal tone, rubbed against his chest.

Lu Tingzhou subconsciously tightened his arms, holding her entire petite body in his arms, while his other hand quickly moved the cigarette away.

"I'm not afraid of getting burned."

A faint smell of tobacco invaded Sang Wan's nostrils.

She frowned slightly, and the next second, she abruptly left Lu Tingzhou's somewhat cold embrace.

The movement was small, but revealed a sense of determination.

Lu Tingzhou was stunned, and a hint of confusion flashed in his deep eyes.

Sang Wan covered her nose and took a small step back, with a hint of hesitation in her beautiful peach blossom eyes.

"Can you please stop smoking in front of me? I don't like the smell of cigarettes lately."

"Um?"

Lu Tingzhou looked at her with some confusion, but still put out the cigarette in his hand on the trash can next to him. "Didn't you not dislike it before?"

Sang Wan frowned, "The past is the past, and the present is the present."

"I really don't like this taste now." Sang Wan's tone was filled with grievance.

In fact, she is not annoyed now. Lu Tingzhou's cigarettes are not ordinary. The smell of his cigarettes is a bit cool and not unpleasant.

But it is tobacco after all, and it is not good for babies.

"good."

He agreed without any hesitation.

He walked forward, took her into his arms again, and bent down to kiss the top of her head.

"I won't smoke anymore."

He made the promise so casually.

All the unhappiness disappeared in an instant.

The heating in the car was on full blast.

Sang Wan leaned on the passenger seat, looking sideways at the man's profile as he concentrated on driving, her heart filled with joy.

The car drove out for a long time, and she seemed to remember something and sat up straight suddenly.

“Oh no!”

Lu Tingzhou controlled the steering wheel with one hand and glanced sideways at the sound, "What's going on?"

"My design draft." Sang Wan's face was a little worried. "I left in a hurry and left it on your desk without putting it away."

She would take a photo every time she finished a painting, but she didn’t take a photo of today’s three pictures as a record, nor did she put them away.

I ran out excitedly after receiving the call.

Lu Tingzhou pursed his lips, freed one hand, covered hers, and squeezed it gently.

"Don't worry, my office is inaccessible to ordinary people, and no one will enter without permission."

"Besides, Lu's security system is very strict. There are surveillance cameras everywhere in the corridor. Nothing will happen."

The absolute confidence in his tone instantly put Sang Wan at ease.

Yes, who dares to act wildly in Lu Tingzhou's territory?

---

The next day, the weather was sunny and windy.

Sang Wan was in a good mood and followed Lu Tingzhou. After get off work in the afternoon, she would go with Lu Tingzhou to participate in team-building activities.

She was quite looking forward to it. She had never participated in this kind of activity before and wondered if it would be fun.

And she also wanted to see how her man got together with his subordinates.

Although she had a complete manuscript, she had to use the drawing board to start coloring, so her job today was not easy.

That would be the step that would give these designs real life.

She walked happily to the office chair that belonged to her.

The next second, the smile on her face froze.

The table is empty.

Except for the paintbrush and extra paper she used yesterday, all the design drafts that carried her inspiration and hard work were gone.

Sang Wan was completely dumbfounded, and her mind went blank for a moment.

How could that be?

The result of four days, ten styles, two series: "Like You" and "Secretly in Love with You"...

Every detail and every line were drawn by her one stroke at a time.

How come it disappeared?

If she can draw the first version, she can definitely draw the second version.

However, the manuscript disappeared from Lu Tingzhou's office, which in itself is a chilling thing.

Just then, the office door was pushed open.

Lu Tingzhou had just been stopped at the door by a department manager and had a few words with him before he walked in.

As soon as he came in, he met Sang Wan's bewildered gaze, "What's wrong?"

Why does the person who was so happy just now look like he has seen a ghost now?

"Lu Tingzhou."

Sang Wan seemed to have found her backbone. She rushed over, grabbed his arm, and whispered, "My manuscript is missing."

She pulled him to the corner of the empty desk.

"Last night, all my manuscripts were placed here, a whole stack, and now there's not a single one left."

She was worried about her manuscript, but she was even more worried about Lu Tingzhou. This was his office, and if someone really stole business secrets, he would be in big trouble.

"Go ahead and ask if the cleaning lady took it away as waste paper?"

Lu Tingzhou looked at the clean table, and the tenderness in his eyes faded away in an instant, covered by a layer of cold and sinister.

He never relies on ordinary cleaners to do the daily cleaning of his office.

Only those designated by the President's Office are eligible to enter.

He put his arm around Sang Wan's trembling shoulders, patted them gently, then picked up the intercom and dialed.

The voice was so cold that it had no warmth at all.

"Tell the person who was in charge of cleaning my office yesterday and today to come up immediately."

The person on the other end of the phone shuddered at the chill in his tone and responded repeatedly.

In less than a minute, the director of the president's office walked in tremblingly with a young girl in her early twenties.

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Lu."

The girl lowered her head and didn't even have the courage to look at him.

Lu Tingzhou didn't waste any words, his eyes were like knives, shooting straight at her.

"Are you responsible for the hygiene of my office yesterday and today?"

"Yes, Mr. Lu."

The girl's voice was as thin as a mosquito. She glanced at Lu Tingzhou and quickly lowered her head, obviously frightened by his cold look.

"Have you seen a stack of costume design manuscripts?"

The girl looked up suddenly when she heard this. She had no idea what went wrong, but when she heard Lu Tingzhou's question, she immediately understood.

She shook her head desperately, "No, I came to clean up after get off work yesterday. Miss Sang was asleep at the time, so I moved very quietly and didn't get close to her."

"I came in early this morning to clean, and this table is exactly the same as it is now. There are no blueprints."

She was so scared that she almost cried.

Lu Tingzhou stared at her without saying anything.

The air pressure in the office is so low that it's suffocating.

Sang Wan saw that the girl was very scared and felt that she did not seem to be lying.

"It's okay, it's okay, I can just redraw it."

Lu Tingzhou was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "Go to each department and ask if anyone working overtime saw it last night."

This matter is not that simple anymore, but I still want to find it for Sang Wan, after all, it is her hard work.

After everyone left, Lu Tingzhou called Lin Hao.

"Go to the security department and pull up all my surveillance footage from 6 o'clock last night until now."

After the phone was hung up, the entire CEO's office was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop.

The air pressure around Lu Tingzhou was so low that water could drip out.

Sang Wan stood beside him, and even subconsciously slowed down her breathing.

Although she could draw, the seriousness of the matter was self-evident when something was lost on Lu Tingzhou's desk.

Time passed by little by little, and every second seemed to be stretched.

Lu Tingzhou stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows with his thin lips pursed into a line.

"Don't worry, take your time to check, and you can redraw the draft."

Sang hugged him before nightfall, "It's just a small thing."

Lu Tingzhou raised his hands and hugged her back, the coldness on his body lessened a little, "It's just that the slap in the face was too direct, it's a bit uncomfortable."

Sang Wan couldn't help but pursed his lips and wanted to smile. At this time, he was still thinking about his face.

At this time, there was a knock on the office door and Lin Hao pushed it open and walked in.

He didn't even dare to look up at Lu Tingzhou's face, but just walked forward quickly, "Mr. Lu."

Lu Tingzhou did not respond, but his deep eyes looked at him quietly.

Silent oppression is more frightening than any questioning.

Lin Hao gritted his teeth and reported.

"Last night... one minute before Miss Sang left, there was a problem with the company's surveillance system."

He paused, then continued speaking with gritted teeth.

"There was a period of about five minutes in between when the surveillance was blank."

blank.

These two words, like a heavy hammer, hit Lu Tingzhou's heart hard.

He subconsciously clenched his fists.

Similarly, Sang Wan subconsciously grabbed Lu Tingzhou's arm.

Lu Tingzhou frowned, "The reason."

"The security department explained that the power plug of the server in the computer room was loose, and it returned to normal after it was replugged."

The corners of Lu Tingzhou's thin lips curled up into an extremely sarcastic arc.

Is the power supply loose?

If the power plug of Lu Group's top-level security system becomes loose, the entire company's surveillance will be paralyzed for five minutes.

Such a coincidence, so precise.

This is clearly aimed at Sang Wan.

Nothing was lost except her design draft.

Lin Hao didn't even dare to breathe.

Lu Tingzhou looked at him with dark eyes, "Continue to investigate."

"Check all visitor records of the company yesterday. Don't let any outsiders go, including acquaintances and relatives."

He paused, his voice growing colder.

"Go check Vice President Lu and see when he left the company yesterday."

Lin Hao's heart trembled.

"yes."

Lin Hao took the order and was about to go out when the administrative director knocked on the door.

"Mr. Lu, when I asked downstairs, the cleaning lady said she saw a few clothing drawings when she was disposing of waste paper."

Sang Wan was delighted, "Where are the blueprints?"

"She threw it into the shredder as waste paper."

The joy in Sang Wan's eyes faded, and he knew he couldn't get it back.

"Let's all get out and help."

As Lin Hao and the administrative director left, Lu Tingzhou's handsome face was covered with a cloud of gloom that she had never seen before.

This matter was directed at her, and it should not be difficult to guess who it was.

Lu Tingzhou should have guessed that knowing the company so well and being able to cut off the surveillance at the right time is not something that one person can accomplish.

But she didn't want him to have a big fight with his family because of her.

Sang Wan understood him.

This man seems cold and hard, but in fact he is more affectionate than anyone else.

Otherwise, they wouldn't have been so tolerant over the years, and wouldn't have been forced into a corner by the people from the first and second wives, without actually shaking their foundation.

She stood on tiptoe and stroked his furrowed brow with her soft hands.

"Lu Tingzhou."

Her voice was soft and soothing.

"It's okay, I can draw it again."

She curled the corners of her lips in a relaxed manner, and her beautiful peach blossom eyes were filled with a bright smile.

"Really? It's just three drafts. I can finish them quickly."

"When you get angry, I get scared."

Lu Tingzhou lowered his eyes, looking at the cautiousness and the heartache that could not be hidden in her clear eyes.

It's not that she doesn't care about her hard work.

She just cared about him more.

The softest part of the man's heart was deeply touched.
