Chapter 270: Fang Bo is still alive
After figuring this out, Lu Yibai's violent temper suddenly subsided.
He raised his eyes lightly, looked at Chen Zheng with a half-smile, and asked softly: "Zhao Siming is my secretary, and so are you and Li Su. The three of you have always been very close, so did you know in advance that Zhao Siming had joined Pei Xingzhi?"
"...I don't know!" Chen Zheng was stunned for a moment, and when he realized what Lu Yibai meant, he suddenly panicked.
"Boss Lu, Li Su and I have no idea about this! Although Zhao Siming and we are both your secretaries, we have no other interactions with him except for work! We really don't know that he secretly defected to Pei Xingzhi!"
"Hmph..." Lu Yibai smiled with an ambiguous expression, his face darkened and he said nothing.
Chen Zheng was frightened by his expression, and his voice began to tremble uncontrollably.
"Boss Lu, please believe me, I really didn't know that Zhao Siming had betrayed you! If I knew, I would have reported it to you immediately!"
"..." Lu Yibai glanced at him indifferently and still said nothing.
"bite--"
A piece of real-time news suddenly popped up on the computer. Lu Yibai glanced at it casually, and then his body suddenly froze.
--shock! Pei Xingzhi revealed to reporters that he had found the thief who caused the Pei Group to go bankrupt!
Pei Group...an internal thief?
These few words captured all of Lu Yibai's attention.
He supported himself on the edge of the desk with his hands, suddenly leaned over to the computer, and read the news headline over and over again several times.
"A thief within the Pei Group?" These words really frightened him, and a name involuntarily emerged in his mind.
"Mr. Lu, Li Su and I really didn't know about Zhao Siming's betrayal. Please believe us!" Chen Zheng was still explaining bitterly, completely unaware of Lu Yibai's livid face.
"Chen Zheng!" Lu Yibai interrupted him and suddenly called his name.
"...I'm here, Mr. Lu!" Chen Zheng quickly shut up and responded loudly.
He raised his head from the computer and looked at Chen Zheng with a look of fear: "Are you sure Fang Bo is dead?"
"That's for sure!" Chen Zheng said confidently, "Our people saw him thrown into the crocodile pool by the casino owner. He must have died a long time ago!"
"Mr. Lu, why are you asking this suddenly?"
Lu Yibai's eyes were blank for a moment: "Thrown into the crocodile pond..."
Chen Zheng: "Yes! The crocodile pool was filled with crocodiles. Fang Bo was thrown in and was eaten by the crocodiles in the pool within ten minutes."
Lu Yibai's condition was too strange. After Chen Zheng finished speaking, he asked again: "Mr. Lu, what's wrong with you? Is there something wrong with Fang Bo's matter?"
Lu Yibai shook his head nervously, his lips slightly opened and he was about to say something when Li Su suddenly opened the office door and rushed in in a hurry.
"Boss Lu, something bad has happened!"
Lu Yibai stood up and asked, "What happened?"
Li Su said with a pale face, "Someone saw Fang Bo in Yuncheng."
“…”
There was a long blank in Lu Yibai's brain.
He kicked away the chair beside him, walked out from behind the desk in a daze, and walked in front of Li Su with unsteady steps.
"…What did you say?" he asked confusedly, "Who did you say you saw in Yuncheng?"
"Fang Bo." Li Su said the name while suppressing his intense panic.
"...Fang Bo?" Lu Yibai frowned, his face full of confusion, "How could I see Fang Bo? Didn't he die in Myanmar a long time ago?"
Li Su: "According to the information they sent, Fang Bo should have died in Myanmar a long time ago, in the crocodile pool of the casino."
Lu Yibai looked at him in disbelief: "He is really dead? Then why would anyone see him in Yuncheng?"
“……” Li Su didn’t know how to explain, nor did he dare to make an excuse.
“Speak up!!”
The suffocating silence drove Lu Yibai crazy. Lu Yibai clenched his fists tightly and pushed Li Su's shoulder out of tolerance.
"Say something!! Why would anyone see him in Cloud City? Isn't he dead?!"
“…”
Li Su buried his head and dared not say a word.
Lu Yibai closed his eyes in annoyance, and when he opened them again after a moment, his eye sockets were already bloodshot.
"Speak!" he roared in a low voice, on the verge of collapse.
Li Su said blankly: "Mr. Lu, I don't know what's going on... The news I received at that time was indeed the information of Fang Bo's death. They also sent me the video of Fang Bo being thrown into the crocodile pool. You have also seen that video."
"...So why would a person who had been dismembered by a crocodile come back to life?" Lu Yibai didn't want to hear this, he just wanted to know why Fang Bo was still alive.
But how would Li Su know why? It wasn't him who killed Fang Bo...
Seeing that Lu Yibai seemed to have reached a dead end, Chen Zheng quickly changed the subject.
"Li Su, who saw Fang Bo in Yuncheng?"
Li Su: "It's Zhou Limin's secretary. After Zhou Limin was taken away by the tax bureau, he never came back. The work of Weilan Studio and Qiangsheng Design is now all managed by his secretary."
Chen Zheng: "Where did he see Fang Bo?"
Li Su secretly glanced at Lu Yibai's face and said in a low voice, "I saw it at Zhongxing Building."
"Zhongxing Building?" Lu Yibai hadn't reacted yet.
Li Su nodded: "Yes, Zhongxing Building, Pei Xingzhi's new studio is also there."
“…”
"boom--"
A bolt of thunder suddenly struck Lu Yibai's brain, and all of Lu Yibai's rationality turned to ashes at this moment.
…
"Brother Pei!"
Ye Ci walked in from the yard with brisk steps, a bright and smug smile on his face.
Pei Xingzhi put down the caterpillar doll in his hand and called Ye Ci to come and sit down.
Ye Ci didn't bother to be polite with him and just sat down on the sofa opposite him casually.
"Brother Pei, there are two good news. Which one do you want to hear first?"
Pei Xingzhi gently squeezed Xiangxiang's hand and raised his eyebrows nonchalantly: "Let's talk about the one that has nothing to do with Lu Yibai first, because I've already heard about the one that is related."
"OK." Ye Ci reached out and touched Xiang Xiang's little face, and said in an excited tone: "I met Shen Yanhui on the way here. Shen Yanhui told me that she seemed to have found out who the owner of the villa was."
"Really?" Pei Xingzhi's eyes lit up.
Ye Ci: "Really. Shen Yan's messages are always fast and accurate, and I think she should be right this time. But she has more important things to do now, so she can only come and tell you in person later."
"Okay." Pei Xingzhi raised the corners of his mouth, the excitement in his eyes could hardly be suppressed.
Ye Ci frowned, but suddenly remembered something.
"No, I should have three pieces of news to tell you."
Pei Xingzhi raised his glasses: "Three? What's the other one?"
