Chapter 123 Feng Yizhou Investigates Li Ruochu
"Keep investigating!" Feng Yizhou might still believe it even if it was just one or two coincidences.
But with so many coincidences added together, he felt it was simply impossible.
For several days, Li Ruochu locked himself up at home and refused to go out of the house.
The outside world seemed cut off from her, and her life seemed to be at a standstill.
Near noon, the quiet room was broken by the sudden ringing of the phone.
Li Ruochu was lying lazily on the sofa. When she heard the ringtone, she was startled at first, then she slowly stood up and picked up the phone. Jiang Mu's name appeared on the screen.
"Hello?" Li Ruochu put the phone to his ear, his voice a little hoarse as if he had just woken up from a lazy state.
"Secretary Li, can you help me get a document from President Feng's study? I really can't get there right now!"
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Mu's tone was so urgent as if there was a flood or a beast chasing him from behind.
Every word was spoken with a hint of anxiety, almost like a rapid-fire barrage.
Li Ruochu keenly caught the anxiety in Jiang Mu's words, frowned slightly, and asked subconsciously: "What happened? Why are you so anxious?"
"There's an emergency meeting here, and I need that document as support, but I'm stuck in traffic and can't move for a while."
Jiang Mu's voice was mixed with the noise of cars, and it seemed that he was indeed stuck on the road.
"Okay! Just send me the file name and I'll send it to the downstairs of the company." Li Ruochu said without any hesitation.
After hanging up the phone, Li Ruochu went straight upstairs.
Standing at the door of Feng Yizhou's study, Li Ruochu slowly turned the doorknob and walked in.
Li Ruochu had no time to appreciate the layout of the study room. Her eyes were anxiously searching the table.
Soon, she found the file that Jiang Mu was looking for among a pile of documents. The file name was clearly written in large black letters on the cover.
She quickly picked up the documents and turned to leave.
However, just as he was about to step out of the study, Li Ruochu's eyes suddenly caught sight of a file bag on the edge of the table.
The file bag was half open, as if deliberately tempting her.
If it were normal, Li Ruchu would definitely stick to his principles and would not touch anything inside.
However, the three big words "Li Ruochu" on the information exposed outside were like a flash of lightning, instantly striking her sight.
Li Ruochu's feet seemed to be nailed down, unable to move at all.
A strong curiosity and uneasiness surged in her heart. After hesitating for a long time, she finally walked slowly back to the table and stretched out her hand cautiously.
She gently opened the folder, and the contents inside made her gasp.
It turns out that it not only contains my own information, but also photos of me from childhood to adulthood.
In the photo, the young girl is wearing worn but clean clothes, standing in front of the gate of the welfare home, with a look of ignorance and confusion in her eyes.
There was also the timid look she looked when she first walked into school with her tattered schoolbag on her back.
And the photo of me graduating from school, entering the society, and standing at the entrance of the company with a green face...
How to enter the welfare home, how to go from the welfare home to school, and then from school to society, each detail is described very clearly.
It was as if someone was holding a magnifying glass and recording every detail of her life without omission.
Li Ruochu's hands began to tremble slightly, and a fear of being spied on surged in his heart.
Feng Yizhou is investigating her!
Li Ruochu dug his nails deep into his palms, his knuckles turning white from the force, as he haphazardly stuffed the photos and information into the file bag.
The edge of the paper cut his palm, and a burning pain mixed with anger rushed straight to his temples.
She heard her own rapid breathing echoing in the silent room. Her chest seemed to be filled with hot lead, and every rise and fall brought a burning pain.
She was by his side day and night, and the gentle words they whispered in his ear were still lingering in his ears, but he sent people to spy on her past as if he was guarding against a thief.
At this moment, the phone rang suddenly. Li Ruochu stared at the words "Jiang Mu" on the screen, took a deep breath and picked up the phone.
The other party's rapid breathing came from the receiver: "Secretary Li, you are not going out now, right? I'm downstairs, I'll go get the documents right away."
"I'm in Feng Yizhou's study, please come over." Li Ruochu's voice seemed to be tempered by ice, and he hung up the phone without waiting for the other party to respond.
Her eyes swept across the photo of Feng Yizhou on the desk. The man had a decent smile on his face, but at this moment she felt extremely ironic.
Ten minutes later, Jiang Mu pushed the door open and walked in.
The crystal chandelier made the beads of sweat on his forehead shine. His suit and tie hung crookedly around his neck, and it was obvious that he had run all the way up.
When his eyes fell on the documents spread out on the table, he froze in place, his Adam's apple rolling violently: "Secretary Li, actually..."
"Why are you investigating me?" Li Ruochu stood up from the president's chair, a hint of inquiry flashing in his eyes.
She slammed the document on the table, and the loud noise startled Jiang Mu.
Jiang Mu's fingers tightly grasped the strap of the briefcase, his face full of helplessness: "Secretary Li, please listen to my explanation. This matter is my own to investigate, and it has nothing to do with President Feng."
His voice was trembling a little, and he caught a glimpse of Li Ruochu's clenched fist. The knuckles were bluish-white, as if he was about to throw a punch at any time.
"How long do you want to help him keep it secret?" Li Ruochu dug his nails deep into his palms, forcing himself to stay calm.
"I don't know what there is to investigate about my identity. If Feng Yizhou wants to know, I can tell him everything from beginning to end. However, I really don't like others prying into my privacy."
After saying that, she grabbed her handbag and turned to leave.
Jiang Mu looked at her back until the elevator door slowly closed at the end of the corridor, then he reached out and slapped his forehead hard.
How could it be such a coincidence that President Feng didn't put the things away and asked Secretary Li to come and get the document?
But it would be useless to say more now, because Secretary Li already knew that President Feng was investigating her background.
Jiang Mu sighed helplessly and called Feng Yizhou: "Boss Feng, Secretary Li found out that we were investigating his information."
Feng Yizhou, who was waiting for a meeting, stood up instantly after hearing this.
Even the employees sitting in the high-level conference room could see that Feng Yizhou had a hint of nervousness on his face.
"Where is she now?" Feng Yizhou said in a calm voice.
"Secretary Li should have gone home by now, right? Mr. Feng, why don't you tell Miss Li the truth?"
Jiang Mu also didn't want the two of them to have such a misunderstanding.
Besides, Li Ruochu's expression just now was really ugly.
If there is any misunderstanding again, I'm afraid there will be a problem between the two of them.
