Chapter 855 There is a clue
When the driver came to pick us up, I finally decided on a light blue shirt and paired it with a white pencil skirt. It was neither too formal nor too casual.
I looked at myself in the mirror with satisfaction and reached out to take the pearl earrings that Xiao Shiqiu handed to me.
"Does it look good?" I looked at Xiao Shiqiu beside me through the mirror.
"It's beautiful, as beautiful as a white cloud reflected on Lake Taupo." Xiao Shiqiu put on the diamond necklace for me.
I just thought his praise was so romantic, but then I thought about his comments on Lake Taupo and suddenly felt that it was not really a compliment.
"Didn't you say that Lake Taupo is so blue that it looks like toilet cleaner? Mine is light blue, how can it be similar?" I pouted somewhat relentlessly.
The corners of his mouth curled up slightly, and he placed a kiss on the top of my head. "Then add some more water, dear. We should go downstairs."
When they arrived at the company, Xiao Shiqiu actually asked the driver to park the car at the company gate today, instead of parking it in the underground garage as usual and taking the elevator directly to the top floor.
"Why are you going through the main gate today?" I was a little surprised.
"Well, today is a workday, and I want all the employees to meet the beautiful president's wife."
He got out of the car first, then walked around to my side, opened the door for me, and took my hand to let me get out of the car.
I instantly felt like a little princess, and people around me who came to work cast all kinds of looks at me.
Xiao Shiqiu had a smile on his face, and his expression was like a child showing off his favorite toy.
As soon as I entered the company lobby, the receptionist stood up and said, "Good morning, President Xiao!" Her eyes kept glancing at me. Xiao Shiqiu smiled and nodded at her, then introduced me, "This is my fiancée, Miss Xia."
Seeing Xiao Shiqiu respond to her, the receptionist was immediately flattered and quickly bowed to me, "Hello, Miss Xia." After thinking for a moment, she flattered me, "You are so beautiful!"
I'm actually not used to such professional compliments, but I still responded with a smile and a thank you.
As I walked in, I was constantly greeted by voices like "Good morning, Mr. Xiao". Fortunately, there were too many people, so he didn't explain my identity to everyone one by one.
But he kept holding my hand tightly, and anyone could see our relationship.
After entering his private elevator, he suddenly looked at me and smiled: "If my office wasn't so high up, I really want to take you up floor by floor."
I laughed and scolded him, "You lunatic, why don't you put me in a small cart and parade me through the streets layer by layer?"
"It's not impossible, my wife is smart!"
As soon as I got out of the elevator, I saw Tang Yi scolding someone, and Xiao Yang was standing next to him holding a stack of documents.
Tang Yi looked up and saw us. He was so excited that he almost knocked the documents out of Xiao Yang's arms. He looked behind me and asked, "Why are you here today, sister-in-law?" Seeing that there was no one behind us, he asked with some disappointment, "Just you two? My little princess didn't come with us?"
"Your little princess has returned to the palace. Go find her at her house after get off work."
When he saw that Huang Tianyi didn't come, his previous excitement immediately disappeared without a trace. He immediately put on a face full of bitterness and resentment, and followed us into Lao Xiao's office with Xiao Yang.
As soon as he entered the room, Tang Yi immediately started to act out his acting skills. Wiping away non-existent tears, he began to complain: "Sister-in-law! Your husband treats me like a donkey in the production team. He went to Australia to spend the holiday with you, and I have endless work to do here..."
Xiao Yang said weakly, "Mr. Tang, I am the donkey of the production team. You are just the one watching the donkey work."
Xiao Shiqiu patted Xiao Yang's shoulder soothingly and said, "Thank you for your hard work. I'll give you an extra 20% bonus this month."
Xiao Yang immediately shook off his previous dejection and said cheerfully, "It's not hard, Mr. Xiao. This is what I should do. You three can chat first. I'll go take care of these documents."
After saying that, he turned around and walked out. Although both his hands were occupied, he was still considerate enough to hook the door with his foot and close it.
Tang Yi looked at Xiao Shiqiu eagerly, "What about me?"
Xiao Shiqiu pursed his lips and pondered for a moment, "How about giving you a promotion? One with less work and better pay?"
Tang Yi's eyes lit up. "Okay, okay. Which position?"
"The mine in Australia is still short of a second-in-command..."
Before Xiao Shiqiu could finish his words, Tang Yi interrupted him angrily, "I have a meeting to attend and don't have time to chat with you!" After that, he pushed the door open and left swiftly.
Xiao Shiqiu smiled bitterly, "I hadn't even finished speaking when this guy got scared away."
"You don't really want to get him to Australia?"
Xiao Shiqiu shrugged, "Of course not. I just want him to talk to a few members of management privately to see who's willing to go."
He turned on his computer and started working. I moved a chair and sat next to him to play with my tablet, eat snacks, and occasionally feed him some potato chips or something.
"Oh, by the way, is there any follow-up on the two people we captured?" I suddenly remembered the kidnapper.
"Let me ask." Xiao Shiqiu called Wen Congwu.
"Hey~ Lao Xiao? Have you finished your vacation with your young wife?" Wen Congwu asked in a joking tone.
Xiao Shiqiu ignored this and went straight to the point, "Lao Wen, have you found out anything about those two guys you captured?"
Hearing Xiao Shiqiu asking about this, Wen Congwu's tone became noticeably more serious. "We found some useful clues. He Zhiheng's fingerprint matched a fingerprint taken from the orphanage fire scene two years ago."
"Oh? Was it him who did it?" Xiao Shiqiu narrowed his eyes.
"He refused to admit it, his mental strength is really good."
The guy with the scar on his hand is called He Zhiheng. Wen Congwu said that the police found out that he used to be a driver for Lu Hongsheng.
He probably did a lot of dirty work for the Lu family.
He Zhiheng argued that his fingerprints were found at the fire scene, saying he happened to be passing by and saw the fire, so he climbed over the wall to save people. However, the fire was too intense, and he failed to save anyone and was burned himself. He then tried to portray his suspicion as a heroic act.
When I asked He Zhiheng who ordered him to kidnap me, he insisted that no one ordered him to do so and that he simply wanted to make some money.
"He is treating the police as fools!" Wen Congwu became a little angry as he spoke.
"When asked who he had originally planned to pick them up, he said no one was there. He simply refused to admit he had any accomplices."
The police found out that half a month ago, He Zhiheng and Lu Yuanqing had dinner together at a private restaurant.
So they found Lu Yuanqing to investigate. Lu Yuanqing was very calm and said that there was nothing strange about having a meal with his former employees.
"We saw from the surveillance footage that Lu Yuanqing handed He Zhiheng a shopping bag that day, and it looked quite heavy.
The next day, there was an extra 500,000 yuan in He Zhiheng's bank account.
However, Lu Yuanqing denied giving money to He Zhiheng, saying only that it was a courier sent to the company and he didn't know what it was, so he just gave it to He Zhiheng.
