Chapter 485: Evaporated

Fang Zhiming hasn't come to work for a long time.

Last time he was recuperating at home, Su Man gave him a long vacation. Later, when he heard that Su Man and Gu Ziheng had reunited, he never came to the studio again.

She originally wanted to confront Fang Zhiming face to face.

But now, even this opportunity seems to be gone.

What followed was a strong sense of unease.

What exactly does Fang Zhiming want to do?

After class, Su Man took a taxi to Fang Zhiming's previous residential area alone.

She wanted to get to the bottom of this matter no matter what.

However, what Su Man could not have imagined was that Fang Zhiming's house was already empty.

The door was wide open, and the furnishings inside remained the same, but Fang Zhiming's personal belongings had been moved out.

There are cleaners cleaning inside.

Su Man stepped forward and asked, "Hello, is the previous resident living here no longer living here?"

"Yes, I've given up the lease."

"When did you withdraw?"

"Who are you, the tenant?"

"I'm his friend and I can't contact him."

"It should be within these few days. Usually, when a tenant moves out, the platform will contact us within a week to clean up. We don't contact tenants directly, so if you ask us, we don't know."

"That's it... Thank you."

Suman exits.

Just now she glanced at the small room used to enshrine the spirit tablet, and it was also empty.

Thinking of the black and white family photo, Su Man's inner uneasiness grew.

After much thought, she decided to give Xiao Beisheng a reminder.

As soon as she walked out of Fang Zhiming's community, Su Man called Gao Xun.

In fact, Su Man didn't hold out hope that the call would go through.

She'd met too many women who'd had fleeting affairs with big bosses. The bosses usually didn't contact them directly, but instead had their personal assistants do the talking. Once the boss decided to end the relationship, the woman couldn't even get in touch with the assistants. When she tried to call, she found she'd been blocked by the assistants.

But Gao Xun's phone was called by Su Man:

"Hello, Ms. Su."

"Assistant Gao, are you off work now?"

"I'm just about to get off work. I'm still at Dingsheng. Are you looking for Mr. Xiao?"

"No, no, no, I'm looking for you. It's just that what I want to talk about is your Mr. Xiao's business. I'm just worried that it will take up your private time."

Gao Xun was silent for a few seconds.

He thought quickly and soon understood why Su Man contacted him instead of contacting Xiao Beisheng directly.

——Su Man wanted to avoid suspicion.

"It's okay, you say."

Su Man briefly talked about Fang Zhiming's disappearance, and brought up the previous feud between Fang Zhiming and Xiao Beisheng:

"Please remind your CEO Xiao to keep an eye on Fang Zhiming's movements and pay attention to his own personal safety. I'm worried that Fang Zhiming will seek revenge on him. I have a strong feeling that he's likely to take action."

"Okay, I will convey all of what you said to Mr. Xiao, and thank you on his behalf."

Gao Xun said, and then added:

"However, you'd better not go to Fang Zhiming alone in the future. Before you know his intentions, it's better to be cautious. Mr. Xiao didn't want you to have close contact with him before, not only for his own sake, but also because he was worried about your safety."

Su Man hesitated for a while and asked, "Can I ask, is there any conflict between your President Xiao and Fang Zhiming? Fang Zhiming said... Xiao Beisheng killed his family."

"Do you believe his story?"

"I doubt it. He doesn't look like he's lying. That's why I wanted to ask you if you knew anything about this. Could there be some misunderstanding between them?"

"Don't even mention me. Mr. Xiao himself doesn't know when he got involved in this so-called 'human life'. However, the clues you provided today are very helpful. While we're investigating Fang Zhiming, we can follow the clues to find out what he meant by the human life he mentioned."

The entire call took less than ten minutes.

After hanging up the phone, Su Man finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Cutting off the possibility of Fang Zhiming seeking revenge on Xiao Beisheng from the root is helping Xiao Beisheng as well as Fang Zhiming.

Two days later.

Only then did Su Man remember to ask about Gu Ziheng's recent situation.

After Gu Ziheng was taken away that day, he never bothered Su Man again.

Could it be that the bottle that hit him caused serious injuries?

Su Man sent a message to Gu Ziheng:

[Are you okay? Is the head injury serious?]

Gu Ziheng: [I'm very stubborn. If you had asked me two days later, my injury would have healed.]

Su Man: [Okay, seeing you look so energetic, I feel relieved. I was thinking of going to see you, but now I don't think it's necessary.]

Gu Ziheng: [I need it! I need it so much! Manman, actually... I'm not that good. But a real man would never admit he's not good enough in front of the woman he likes!]

Su Man knew Gu Ziheng's character.

Su Man made an appointment to go to Gu's house to see him after get off work.

In the evening.

When Su Man arrived at Gu's house, the housekeeper came out to greet her.

"Miss Su, please follow me upstairs. The young master has been waiting upstairs for a long time."

Su Man was secretly complaining in her heart at first, thinking that Gu Ziheng was being so arrogant.

But when she saw Gu Ziheng, she found that it was not that Gu Ziheng was showing off, but that his condition seemed to be really not good.

Gu Ziheng's head was wrapped in circles of white medical gauze, his hairstyle was gone, and his entire head was covered by a net bag, like a smooth boiled egg.

Fortunately, he has a delicate appearance, so even if he is wrapped like a boiled egg, he is still pleasing to the eye.

Gu Ziheng was particularly sensitive to the scrutiny of others. He touched his head and asked Su Man:

"Isn't that cool anymore? That quack doctor said I had a mild concussion and insisted I wear this bandage. I may look okay, but clothes make the man. I'm too embarrassed to go out and see people!"

"Stop talking nonsense. A concussion is no small matter. If you don't follow the doctor's advice, you might end up becoming a fool."

Gu Ziheng pursed his lips and didn't refute.

Seeing that the two of them were getting along harmoniously and that Gu Ziheng was listening to Su Man obediently, the housekeeper couldn't help but smile knowingly and quietly left the room.

Su Man remained calm and looked around Gu Ziheng's room.

His table that used to be filled with action figures and his exquisite and luxurious display cabinets have been cleared out.

Now, there are a few scattered documents and some reports on it.

The laptop was placed in the middle, as if to facilitate his work.

"You're injured like this, and you still want to work?"

"There's nothing I can do. There are some things about the company. Once I take over a project, I can't get rid of it. I've been following it from start to finish. If I change someone else, they won't understand it as well as I do and won't be as efficient. It's all a waste of time. If I mess it up, the old man will be angry again. So I'll just keep doing it."

Gu Ziheng said this and sniffed.

Only then did Su Man notice that he spoke with a heavy nasal tone.

I glanced again and saw a cup of thick-colored medicine placed beside his bed, with thermometers and medicine packaging bags scattered around in a mess, and there was no time to clean them up.

"Do you have a cold?" she asked.

"I have a slight fever."

"Why do you still have a fever? Is there an injury in your brain that caused inflammation?"

"You're more nagging than my mom," Gu Ziheng awkwardly moved his body to block Su Man's sight. He grabbed the packaging bags on the table with his big hands and put them away clumsily. "It's just a simple fever. The doctor said my resistance and immunity are low, and there's no other reason. It's just that I don't take my medicine on time, and the fever occasionally comes back. It's so fucking uncomfortable."

Su Man frowned.

Gu Ziheng had indeed put himself through a lot before. Gu's mother told him that after he broke up with Luo Yan and the others, he often only ate a meal at home once every one or two days. Not only that, he also drank on an empty stomach.

The encouragement came from the wine bottle that night, which brought out all the accumulated problems.

At this time, Gu Ziheng's phone and Su Man's phone vibrated at the same time.

The message came from Gu Ziheng’s small group.

Ever since Gu Ziheng announced his reunion with Su Man, he pulled Su Man into the group.

Because of the embarrassing character Suman, no one spoke in the group.

It's a bit magical that the news came at this time.

Gu Ziheng took out his cell phone and saw a screenshot sent by Xu Xiuyuan.

It was a friend in their circle who gossiped about Gu Ziheng on other platforms:

[Here comes the melon!!! A while ago, Young Master Gu injured Luo Yan with a bottle at a bar. The two groups were about to fight, but President Xiao intervened to calm the situation, domineeringly protecting his wife, and left with Luo Yan in his arms. A few days ago, President Xiao and his bodyguards dragged Young Master Gu to the winding mountain road and beat him up. When he came down, his head was covered in blood and he was taken to the hospital. My relatives at the hospital told me that Young Master Gu's head injury was caused by the bottle. This is clearly Xiao Beisheng's revenge for Luo Yan!]
