Chapter 6: The Desire of Food and Beverage is More Handsome Without Glasses
In Du Yanze's rich work experience, this situation is not uncommon. He usually only uses one way to solve it... that is to solve the person who brought the problem itself.
But it wouldn't work this time. Even if Tang Zhilu overturned the chessboard, Du Yanze would put it back without changing his expression.
Du Yanze hooked the leg of his glasses, his face stunned for a moment, and suddenly moved closer to Tang Zhilu, so close that their breath blended and they were just a hair's breadth away from kissing each other.
Tang Zhilu didn't hide at all, but just looked straight at Du Yanze, even looking at his long eyelashes with a little appreciation.
"I suddenly realized that you look more handsome without glasses." Du Yanze smiled and stepped back, helping him put the glasses back on.
Tang Zhilu cooperated throughout the process, even lowering his head slightly to facilitate his movements. He just took out a disinfectant wipe with his free hand to wipe his glasses.
"But you should still wear it. It doesn't seem so fierce when you wear it."
"Is he very fierce?" Although Tang Zhilu was asking for his opinion, his tone was very light, and it was obvious that he did not need Du Yanze's evaluation.
Du Yanze never mentioned where he lived now, but the car was parked exactly under his apartment, even the building was correct.
Tang Zhilu threatened him in a gentlemanly and restrained manner.
Unfortunately, Du Yanze is a person who does not accept any form of threats, so this has no effect except making him more motivated.
So Du Yanze bent down and knocked on his car window as soon as he got out of the car. He leaned over his car window with a curved brow and a clear expression: "Tang Zhilu, have you ever tasted cake?"
As she spoke, she stretched out her index finger and lightly touched his lips.
"Ah, probably not. Poor Fork." Du Yanze said, then he straightened up and left with a smile.
He chose to respond with a threat that was straightforward and arrogant.
Tang Zhilu accepted his gift and sat alone in the car recalling Du Yanze's fingers that flew across his body quickly, which were slender and white, with soft fingertips and a hint of tender red.

"Good morning, boss."
On Saturday morning, there were many people out on the weekend in the back street. Du Yanze came here early in the morning, but he didn't expect that the newly hired clerk Deng Shan came earlier than him.
After all, she is a college student at the nearby Jiang University, and Du Yanze also understands the value of a college student getting up so early on the weekend.
Du Yanze greeted her with a smile, but found that she seemed to be hesitant to speak, with an inexplicable excitement in her eyes.
"Boss, you guys know that guy from last night..."
Du Yanze just smiled and asked her, "What do you think?"
Deng Shan suddenly became excited and cleared her throat: "I've seen this episode, I'll do it. Based on my years of experience reading Jiang's novels and my keen observation, the gentleman last night must have come for you."
"Ahem... If it's a sweet story, it's probably about a cold, abstinent, and serious CEO who passes by here one day and falls in love with you at first sight. After two or three chapters of psychological entanglement and secret observation, he finally gets together with you!"
"I finally couldn't help approaching you last night. I guess you exchanged contact information last night and chatted until midnight... That character setting collapsed. Anyway, you should have developed a good impression of him after three or four hundred words of psychological entanglement..."
Du Yanze said that he had also watched this episode, but denied it in time.
They didn't chat until half the night, but they threatened each other politely. Then he went back and read the files for half the night, and comforted Yang Zhao who learned that he had been exposed.
He comforted Yang Zhao: "Isn't exposure inevitable? Do you still think Tang Zhilu is some love-brained boss?"
"ah……"
Deng Shan got another inspiration. "I still have work to do! Ah, I know. This is a modern urban melodrama. The key words are reunion and wife-chasing crematorium."
"You, my boss, once had a love-hate relationship with the guy from last night that lasted for no less than 40 chapters, but the domineering boss's white moonlight has appeared. Ah, forget it, this is not popular now..."
"Then it was because his family opposed it, and a rift arose between you. Ah, for example, he wanted to arrange a family marriage, and you left in anger... This is more reasonable. And then you found out that you were pregnant..."
Du Yanze's smile froze, but Deng Shan was already completely excited. "Driving the ball and running is a classic. If you run away, he will chase you. You can't escape even if you have wings. Last night, he discovered the truth about your dribbling and running, and he came after his wife."
"Please, please torture him for a few more chapters. I hate those bloody stories that end in the crematorium in just a few chapters..."
Du Yanze looked at Deng Shan helplessly: "Is it possible that I am a man?"
After hearing this, Deng Shan gave a weird smile.
"Boss, your knowledge is still too narrow."
Before she could expand Du Yanze's knowledge, a man walked in from outside the door. He looked very young, with a handsome face and a smile on his face, which was very friendly.
As soon as he walked in, his eyes were focused on Du Yanze who turned and entered the baking room. He wanted to say something but hesitated for a moment, and still did not call out to Du Yanze who turned and left.
"Can I take a look at the menu first?"
Deng Shan understood, hello, gentle and silently protective second male brother.
"Is that the owner inside? He looks so young." The second male lead was naturally friendly, so Deng Shan smiled and chatted with him for a few more sentences.
Du Yanze naturally noticed his gaze and glanced at it casually, but inexplicably felt that the face looked familiar.
He didn't think it was an illusion. If this person looked familiar to him, he must have seen him somewhere before.
Before Du Yanze could remember this person, he took the food and left. Deng Shan was a girl with a strong desire to share, and she immediately reported to Du Yanze who was washing his hands like pouring beans.
"The man just now is Xiao Zhao's colleague. He said his name is Han Huai. He came here specially after trying the food that Xiao Zhao brought. It's reasonable to suspect that this is a popular food article..."
Han Huai? Du Yanze felt nervous.
To Deng Shan’s disappointment, she didn’t see the man in the suit from that night again for several days. Instead, Han Huai came to visit her almost every day.
He was not in a hurry to talk to Du Yanze, and occasionally when there were a lot of people, he would help Deng Shan at the counter.
After a few days, Deng Shan had completely changed sides and persuaded Du Yanze to turn to the light and look at the second male brother.
"What male second brother?"
Han Huai looked like he had just got off work, and he hadn't changed out of his dark blue suit yet. However, the weather was a bit hot, so he took off his coat and put it on his hand, and also unbuttoned the collar of his shirt.
Deng Shan coughed twice in embarrassment, and Du Yanze smiled and sent her to the kitchen to check, and casually helped her to cover up the matter.
"What do you need today?" This was the first time Du Yanze spoke to him.
Han Huai glanced at Deng Shan who was busy in the baking room, and showed some hesitation on his face, and finally pointed at one at random. Du Yanze could see that he had something to say, but he pretended not to know.
"Um...are you busy now?"
Han Huai glanced around, tightened and loosened his grip on the water cup, and maintained a polite smile. In order to relieve his nervousness, he subconsciously drank two sips of water.
But he frowned and pushed the water in his hand aside.
Du Yanze put down his food and did not leave. Instead, he sat opposite him.
"What's the matter?"
"Um..." Han Huai hesitated. He looked around the store again anxiously, and after making sure it was safe, he finally looked at Du Yanze.
“Are you Cake?”
After saying that, Han Huai rubbed his fingers nervously and looked at Du Yanze opposite him.
Du Yanze immediately widened his eyes slightly, his face suddenly turned cold, and when he looked closely, he saw that his lips were still trembling slightly, as if he had recalled something bad.
"I...no...I have no idea what you're talking about."
Du Yanze suddenly stood up and was about to leave. Han Huai immediately apologized, walked up to him and said softly, "Sorry, I didn't mean it."
"Whether you are or not, please be careful of Tang Zhilu."
After Han Huai finished speaking, he picked up his suit jacket from the back of the chair, packed up his food, and left.
Du Yanze restrained his expression and watched him turn and leave.
“It’s interesting.”
Du Yanze silently repeated Han Huai's name twice, but for the time being he couldn't remember where he had seen him.
"Han Huai?" Yang Zhao raised his eyebrows and looked at Du Yanze who was looking through the files beside him.
"He is from the Legal Department. He is the one who comes when the Legal Department needs to deliver documents. He has been working here for a year. When we chatted before, I heard that he comes from a single-parent family. His mother passed away a long time ago, and he only has an older sister who lives abroad."
"I heard that he has a very good relationship with his sister. I often hear him mention his sister."
"He is usually kind and good-tempered, even a bit like a goody-goody. Most importantly, he rarely comes into contact with Tang Zhilu during work, except for some large department meetings, when he will attend."
"Why would he suddenly come over to remind you to be careful of Tang Zhilu?"
Du Yanze didn't even raise his head, and continued to look at the message sent by the police on his phone, and asked calmly: "Does he have any overseas experience?"
"The HR in the company mentioned that he received his bachelor's and master's degrees from Huajiang University and has no experience studying abroad..."
"He basically never took a New Year's holiday. Like most employees, he saved his time for the Spring Festival holiday. His passport was handled by the Human Resources Department when the Legal Department went on a business trip last year."
Du Yanze laughed and looked up at Yang Zhao: "Your only sister is abroad. Did she get her passport only last year?"
Yang Zhao felt that Han Huai would not be involved with overseas FAs, so he explained: "His sister went abroad very early. He said that she applied for a passport when she was thirteen or fourteen years old. The validity period was only five years, and it has expired long ago."
"So, in all these years, he never went abroad to visit his sister?"
"Maybe the sister loves her brother and often goes back to visit him. Also, you may not know that college students are also very competitive nowadays, with GPA and internships. He is also admitted to the law school, so he must be very busy in college."
"And the pressure will be great when I study for a master's degree in law at Huajiang University in the next few years."
Du Yanze raised his eyes to look at Yang Zhao and said "oh" in a long voice. It was unclear whether he agreed with this statement or not.
Regardless of other things, Han Huai should be quite popular.
But no matter what, after reading the files, Du Yanze did not find any information related to Han Huai.
"Well, he's innocent for now, right? But I'll keep an eye on him, and the SDD will follow up on him."
There are too many people involved in their investigation and it is impossible to carefully check each one from head to toe.
Previously, Han Huai was given a clean pass by the police because of one of the victims, Lin Ye.
He took the initiative to come over and bring this up. Yang Zhao thought that he might have heard something or knew something, so he wouldn't hold on to it.
Du Yanze nodded slightly, frowning in thought. His long eyelashes half-hid the emotions in his eyes, making it impossible to tell what he meant.
He was wondering why this ordinary person, Han Huai, came to him.
The bait was put down and two fish were caught. Tang Zhilu came here because Fork smelled the scent, but what about Han Huai?
He reacted to the reagent in the water, so how could he ask that question if he wasn't Fork? Could he also be Cake?
