Chapter 640 She's Very Well-Behaved (Sixty-Nine)
The old woman went to cook for Jiang Zhizhi and the others. When she returned, trembling, she saw Jiang Zhizhi and two men lying on the ground.
His previously somewhat cloudy eyes revealed a shrewd glint.
He even nudged Jiang Zhizhi and the other two with a stick, and seeing that they didn't react at all, he snorted coldly: "Looks shrewd, but he's nothing special."
The old woman waited a while longer, and then several people emerged from the tunnel and carried Jiang Zhizhi and the other two down.
The old woman swept the house with a broom and put away all the things that Jiang Zhizhi and the others had brought. Outsiders could not tell that anyone had been there.
There is a long underground passage that goes almost to the belly of the mountain and connects to the natural cave inside.
Inside, there are jagged rocks, which are divided into small caves.
The group threw Jiang Zhizhi and the other two into one of the holes and tied their hands and feet with rope.
Hearing the footsteps leave, Jiang Zhizhi slowly opened her eyes, adjusted to the light in the darkness, and sat up.
Hearing the commotion, the two bodyguards beside him also sat up quietly.
Upon smelling an unusual odor, Jiang Zhizhi gave each person an antidote pill, then pretended to be unconscious to see what was going on.
Now it seems her guess was right; Pei Yanli's disappearance was related to this honest old woman.
With a slight movement, the bodyguard broke free of the ropes binding him. Surprisingly, they were very professional, as the ropes were tied rather casually.
"Mr. Jiang, what do we do now?"
The bodyguard asked Jiang Zhizhi in a very low voice.
Jiang Zhizhi paused for a moment: "We don't know the situation inside, nor do we know if there will be any danger, so let's wait a bit."
The two bodyguards were quite capable: "Mr. Jiang, you stay here. We'll split up and see what happens in a bit."
Jiang Zhizhi trusted their abilities: "You two be careful."
It's still unclear what's going on down there, or who else is in this cave.
Two bodyguards went out, crouched down, and searched around for half an hour before returning.
To their surprise, "Mr. Jiang, we haven't seen anyone here. Did they just leave us here? Did they leave through the cave entrance?"
Jiang Zhizhi believed it wasn't that simple: "Where's Pei Yanli? Go look for him."
Unfortunately, it was dark outside, and the cave was pitch black. They had only used the faint light from their cell phones to cautiously explore the area.
So the two of them discussed with Jiang Zhizhi: "President Jiang, let's wait until dawn to talk. We just noticed that we can see the sky outside. When it gets light, there should be light coming in."
Jiang Zhizhi nodded: "Okay."
She just couldn't understand what secrets were hidden in the mountains that Pei Yanli had discovered.
But what Shen Fanxing said was that Pei Yanli dodged the first scheme, but not the second. Could this be the second time?
After all, the old lady was familiar with him; she looked kind and harmless, and she had lived in the mountains for many years.
How could I possibly be wary of her?
Jiang Zhizhi frowned and asked the two bodyguards in a low voice, "Based on your usual experience, do you think that old lady seemed like a bad person?"
Both agreed: "It doesn't seem like it."
One of the bodyguards, Qin Zhe, analyzed: "She looks like an ordinary working person, lives a simple life, and lives in the mountains. She doesn't seem like a bad person."
Jiang Zhizhi sighed: "Yeah, I also don't think she's a bad person, but we were still ambushed by her. Just look at this tunnel, it doesn't look like it was dug in a day or two."
“This tunnel should have existed before Pei Yanli arrived.”
"Pei Yanli's plan to repair roads and villages was originally intended to benefit everyone, but it might also ruin some people's plans."
Another bodyguard, Li Zhun, genuinely agreed: "It seems we were careless, President Jiang. Don't worry, we will definitely get you out of here."
Jiang Zhizhi wasn't afraid, but she couldn't figure out what Pei Yanli was involved in.
...
Shang Shang felt very uneasy in Beijing, and felt anxious every day at work.
In the afternoon, while at work, she accidentally broke a vessel in the lab, which she felt was very unlucky.
After getting off work, I changed into my work clothes and drove off to find Shen Fanxing.
On the way, he called to ask where Shen Fanxing was. Knowing that she was at the company, he went straight there.
Shen Fanxing rarely appears at the company after becoming pregnant. Perhaps because of the pregnancy, she looks much gentler.
She used to be a stunningly beautiful and aloof woman, but now she's a gentle and graceful young woman.
Even her assistant kept praising her: "Sister, I think you look especially beautiful right now, you're radiating a gentle glow."
Shen Fanxing chuckled: "I'm not Guanyin Bodhisattva, do you think I can glow?"
The assistant nodded repeatedly: "Really, really. Everyone in the company is saying it secretly. He seems really approachable now."
Shen Fanxing leaned back lazily in her chair: "Don't think that just because you're saying this you can slack off and not work. Go tell everyone that they are not allowed to talk about the boss in private."
The assistant nodded and suppressed a laugh. She knew that Shen Fanxing was just saying it; she was beautiful and kind-hearted, and as long as her employees worked hard, she wouldn't make things difficult for them.
They are also very generous with salaries.
Shen Fanxing was very sleepy and wanted to go home to sleep, but she also had to wait for Chen Shuo to come and report on his work.
Forcing herself to stay awake, she chatted with her assistant to pass the time, and finally Chen Shuo arrived.
Listening to him talk about the company's recent investment projects almost made me fall asleep; my mind was scattered, and I didn't absorb a single important detail.
He waved his hand at Chen Shuo: "You can handle the company's affairs yourself, no need to ask me."
Chen Shuo said somewhat helplessly, "These are the company's new projects. You still need to take a look at them. Although the profit margin looks promising at the moment, there are still risks in the long run."
Upon hearing about the new project, Shen Fanxing immediately sat up with renewed energy.
It was at this moment that I received a call from Shangshang.
Judging from Shang Shang's tone, Shen Fanxing had a bad feeling. She hung up the phone and closed the folder: "These are all minor matters, we can put them aside for now. Now, Shang Shang has come to the company to see me."
Chen Shuo didn't know why Shang Shang's visit to the company made Shen Fanxing so nervous. Considering Shen Fanxing's style of doing things, she was very afraid of trouble: "Here's what I'll do, I'll write down the names of the companies and projects we're cooperating with for you. You can take a look and calculate whether it can bring benefits to the company."
Shen Fanxing had no objection: "Okay!"
The assistant was laughing to himself, guessing that no company was cooperating with them; it was all based on feng shui.
As soon as Chen Shuo left the office, Shang Shang rushed in.
Upon seeing Shen Fanxing, he went over and hugged her: "Fanxing, please quickly calculate Pei Yanli's current situation. I feel very uneasy, I have a feeling that something terrible has happened to him."
Shen Fanxing cried out twice, "Sweetie, loosen your grip for a moment, and the smell of the medicine on you is bothering me."
Shang Shang quickly let go and took two steps back: "Fanxing, then tell me, where did my mom go? Can I go find her?"
Shen Fanxing shook her head: "That won't do. Mom is going to work. Why are you causing trouble?"
She had a bit of a headache, feeling that things were going beyond her calculations, as if someone was interfering...
