The aroma of the exquisite food on the table filled the air, and Chen Nian'an's gloom suddenly dissipated. He curled his lips and said, "Gu Boyan..."
"Hmm?" Gu Boyan was stunned for a moment, then met her slightly smiling eyes. Chen Nian'an seemed to feel better...
"Not eating?"
"Ah? Hmm." Although Gu Boyan didn't understand what she was thinking, he still pursed his lips, stood up, pulled out a stool beside the dining table and sat down.
The two sat opposite each other, and Gu Boyan's vague glance towards him made Chen Nian'an feel funny. He probably started to have wild thoughts again.
[So, does Chen Nian'an agree or not to sleep together...] Gu Boyan was struggling with this thought while picking up some food.
【Why not ask her? 】
[But if she really disagrees, will she be willing to return to the clear distinctions of the past?]
[But, forced love doesn't seem like a good idea...]
"Cough." Chen Nian'an had just taken a sip of the golden soup stewed with fish when he choked when he heard the words. It took him two seconds to recover. He looked up and gave him a strange look.
You can’t tell, but Gu Boyan is quite rich in heart.
"Why are you looking at me?" Gu Boyan seemed to catch something from her eyes and felt something was a little strange. Before he could explore, Chen Nian'an had returned to normal and slowly drank another sip of soup.
Then he blinked and asked, "Can't I watch it?"
Gu Boyan paused for a second, "Okay"
After the two of them had finished their meal, the phone in Gu Boyan's pocket rang. He didn't know what was said on the other end of the phone, but his brows gradually frowned, and his face looked bad when he hung up the phone.
He turned his head to look at Chen Nian'an, and spoke after a few seconds, "I have an urgent matter at the company, so I'll go there first. If I'm not back, you can go to bed early and don't leave the lights on."
"Yeah." Chen Nian'an nodded and watched him put on his suit jacket and walk out quickly. It seemed that something urgent had indeed happened.
However, Chen Nian'an seemed to have avoided something, and secretly breathed a sigh of relief in his heart. When he turned around and went upstairs, he couldn't help but smile slightly.
When Gu Boyan walked to the door, he suddenly turned around and looked at Chen Nian'an deeply before turning around and leaving.
"Are you sure?" Gu Boyan asked in a deep voice, supporting the steering wheel with one hand and holding the phone with the other.
"Yes, they investigated the case and managed to get the surveillance footage and the abandoned car that had been blocked. All the clues showed that it was indeed an accident."
"Accident?" Gu Boyan didn't say anything, just chewed on the two words, stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car shuttled through the night traffic like an arrow.
…
"Yes, the specific details are all in here. Mr. Gu, are we going to pay them the balance?" Cheng Shi handed over the information passed down from below with both hands, and Gu Boyan took it behind the desk.
He lowered his head and flipped through the pages to check the content. The low-power gold-rimmed glasses he usually wore at work reflected a subtle blue light, and the outline of his eyes was a little blurry under the lenses.
On the dark white paper was a shocking photo of a car accident on a rainy night, with a face that looked somewhat like Chen Nian'an lying in a pool of blood.
A slender finger with a ring hanging from the broken glass window of the passenger seat, with subtle traces of time on her skin, it was clearly Zhong Yuzhen.
The front of the Mercedes-Benz was half-buried and hit the three-meter-wide pier of the overpass. The rear of the car swung around due to the impact, and the rising black smoke could be seen even through the photo.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Boyan snapped the folder shut, took off his glasses and rubbed his nose, "Go and marry them."
"Yes." Cheng Shi looked at his tired expression, opened his mouth as if he wanted to persuade him, but in the end he said nothing and retreated.
As soon as the office door was closed, Gu Boyan couldn't help but open the folder again, groping his fingers on the A4 paper, and tapping on the photos one by one.
Here is a clear summary.
—This year, no account transactions, consumption records, or in/out records of Chen Yuanshan were found. It can almost be said that he disappeared from the face of the earth, with no trace of him alive or dead.
As long as a person exists, there will be no trace of him. Where did the missing Chen Yuanshan go?
What exactly happened under the broken surveillance camera on the overpass in the heavy rain and lightning that day? Why was there only this last blurry photo left, taken by the surveillance camera in a shabby corner in the distance?
Is it true or false that the regulatory agency said that the surveillance camera was accidentally damaged on that day?
Accident.
It was an accident again. All the evidence pointed to an accident, including the result of Gu Boyan's countless efforts and the investigation of several groups of people over the past year. There was only one result, that is, the accident of Chen Nian'an's parents on his eighteenth birthday was just an accident.
He stood up with his hands in his pockets, standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the entire city through the one-way glass window with his cold and sharp eyes.
From this angle, the cars and the crowds looked as tiny and invisible as ants. Gu Boyan withdrew his gaze, turned around and sat back at his desk, took out his cell phone and sent a message.
"Investigate, continue investigating. I want to see the person alive or dead. Also, who leaked the core technology of the Zhong family's products? Follow Zhou Yan and Liu Xuanxuan to investigate."
Gu Boyan had a bad feeling. Who on earth could have hidden under his nose for so long in City A? Perhaps the person behind this was really in the country?
The sky gradually darkened, the sun set, and night fell.
When Gu Boyan returned, dim lights had been turned on in the villa. The warm light shining through the pink window screens made his tense shoulders relax unconsciously for no reason.
Like a weary goose returning to its warm nest, its wings can finally rest.
Chen Nian'an transferred the deposit to the hacker that Mu Xin pushed in front of him, then lay on the bed with his back spread out, looking at the ceiling.
Dad, where are you?
Chen Nian'an felt that his father must not be in the country, perhaps he is in Myanmar now. In his previous life, Gu Boyan had been investigating, and it seemed that he only found the news in the last year. Maybe Zhou Yan sent him out just to use the information about his father.
No, Chen Nian'an's pupils trembled as he suddenly thought of something.
I have a bold idea.
No, the other party’s target might not just be her, but Gu Boyan behind him. This man is sure that he will go to Myanmar to rescue me, and what he wants is his life.
Although it was just a guess, Chen Nian'an felt uneasy intuitively. Gu Boyan's life was indeed of great commercial value. The higher he stood, the more the jackals and tigers underground would grind their teeth and suck his blood.
Chen Nian'an's heartbeat slowly quickened in the panic of this speculation, and at this moment.
There was a slight sound of the door handle being turned in the bedroom. She looked up and saw Gu Boyan walking in, holding a pink box in his left hand.
The uneasy feeling in the room, like a poisonous snake secretly lurking in the dark, disappeared in an instant as if it were exposed to the sunlight.
"Come and have some cake." Gu Boyan came back in such a hurry in the afternoon that he drove home quickly after work and forgot to buy it.
Gu Boyan still remembered what he had promised Chen Nian'an during the meeting phone call.
