Chapter 124 Wait for me to come back

Waiting to come back

Outside the window, the night was as dark as ink. Chi Dong sat on a chair and wiped his hair. He recalled that before his mother left, she had reminded him to remember to put on his original hearing aids. He couldn't help but sigh and put down the wet towel in a depressed mood.

"What should I do if I really can't find it? I shouldn't have left it on the table."

He was really stupid. Knowing that there were so many people in the company who didn't like him, how could he be so stupid as to leave such valuable things in a mess?

Chi Dong looked gloomily at the spare device he had taken off and put aside. The quality of this spare device was average, it was uncomfortable to wear, and it could not come into contact with water, otherwise it would be directly scrapped, so he seldom took it out and kept it hidden in a drawer.

"well……"

He raised his hand to rub his sore eyes, then moved his numb fingers, pursed his lips slightly, and his eyes inadvertently swept across the computer on the desk.

Today when I was in the hospital, I received a message from Bu Qianli saying that he was on a business trip and had no time to play games, so he wanted to ask him to help him go online and do some daily tasks.

Chi Dong agreed without thinking. After all, opening two accounts at the same time, having one account or two accounts was an extremely simple matter for him, and there was no difference.

However, in order to avoid the situation of "empty streets" like last time, Chi Dong wisely logged into his account first and then returned to his own house.

Of course, he didn't spend a huge amount of money to buy this mansion, and he didn't have that much money. It was because of his relationship with Bu Qianli that he, as the other half of the owner, had the right to live in the house.

This was also after the last Wu Long incident. He had fully realized that as long as either he or Bu Qianli appeared in the main city area, the titles of "The Lady Who Kills One Person Every Ten Steps" or "The Husband Hidden by Dongdong" would be displayed above their heads.

The point is that after the big update last month, all high-level titles are mandatory and the highest priority title will automatically be displayed under the character name when the player enters the main city area and cannot be cancelled.

The reason why the game does this is because some players concealed the identity of their relationships and flirted with others, causing many infamous tree hole 818 incidents.

………

After logging in successfully, Chi Dong did not alarm the others. He quietly drove the two accounts and diligently ran to line 46 where there were the least people.

Although it is said that there are few people, it is not that few. It is just that compared with the top 20 lines with the most players, 46 lines are considered few.

At least when he dual-tasks to go to the main city to take on quests, other players won't notice him because everyone is busy doing their own things. After all, those who like to have fun are in the front lines and rarely appear here.

After finishing his daily and chivalrous tasks, Chi Dong paused for a moment when he was about to log off. He suddenly remembered that the secondary job of Kill One Person in Ten Steps is merchant, and he can make two business trips every day.

He wanted to experience the fun of leading a team on a business trip, so he went to the forum to find a beginner's guide and prepared to follow the route given in the guide.

Fortunately, because he was worried about being scolded, he specially opened four accounts. In addition to the two accounts currently logged in, he also logged in the accounts that Lin Jie and Zhou Yize no longer played.

Four accounts is not only his limit, but also the limit of this old computer. If he adds one more, it will probably freeze.

But even with the strategy and the four-opening, it still took him 40 minutes to complete this business trip. At the moment of submitting the goods, Chi Dong had only one thought in his mind: he would be a pig if he did business again in the future.

The computer was getting slower and slower. Chidong frowned and glanced at the time on the desktop. It was already eleven o'clock.

"It's so late, let's just log off."

He held his chin with his left hand, and while thinking, he logged out of the accounts of the other three people. Then he went to the warehouse to search and sort out the accounts, and then followed the original offline.

Because he logged off so quickly, he didn't notice that Bu Qianli's private chat box suddenly jumped a few times, as if someone was looking for him.

…………

The next morning, Chi Dong came to the company as usual and walked to his seat. When passing by a table, he was somewhat surprised to see the hearing aid he lost yesterday placed on the table.

However, what surprised him even more was that the hearing aid was not only cracked, but also broken into two pieces.

He walked quickly forward and picked it up carefully, holding a glimmer of luck and hope in his heart. However, the result of the inspection made him very disappointed. The piece was too badly broken and was no longer useful.

Looking silently at the broken hearing aid in his palm, Chi Dong lowered his eyes with a dull look, until a noise arose around him and a sharp female voice rang in his ears without warning.

"What are you doing in my place?"

Chi Dong seemed to be awakened and turned around suddenly, his eyes full of coldness and anger.

Why is it her?

Seeing that he didn't say a word and just stared at her, Sister Xuan's heart skipped a beat and she thought to herself: What's wrong with this guy? Why is he looking at me like an enemy? Could it be that he found out about that?

She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and denied it to herself: No, he couldn't possibly know that I did it. If he really found out, with his personality, he would never confront me face to face. He would just squat in the corner and not dare to ask a single question.

Yes, that's right, that's definitely the case.

"Speak up, why aren't you talking?" Sister Xuan decided to take the initiative and asked loudly. Seeing that Chi Dong was still silent, she relaxed her tense heart instantly, raised her eyebrows that were very delicately made up, and said proudly.

"Oh, I see. You're not trying to steal my stuff, are you? Or are you trying to steal important company documents and make me take the blame? You're trying to frame me!"

Chi Dong tried hard to control his anger, frowned, lowered his voice and asked, "Sister Xuan, did you steal my hearing aid?"

Sister Xuan was full of questions and looked at him in bewilderment. What is this? A hearing aid?

"What are you talking about? Stealing hearing aids? I've never seen that before."

Chi Dong felt strange when he heard her tone. "The hearing aid I put on the table yesterday suddenly disappeared. I suspect it was... stolen."

Sister Xuan raised her head slightly, crossed her arms, and sneered proudly, "What does your missing stuff have to do with me? It's just a broken thing, is there any need to be so surprised?"

"But I found it on your desk." Chi Dong stared at her indifferently, trying to find evidence that she was lying. "And it's broken. It looks like someone deliberately damaged it."

Sister Xuan glanced at the thing in his hand with disdain and said, "It's none of my business. I haven't seen it anyway." After saying that, she pushed him hard.

"you……"

Chi Dong was pushed aside by her. Seeing her swaying and sitting back in her seat as if it had nothing to do with her, he was so angry that his face turned red.

Seeing this, another female colleague quickly stepped forward to dissuade him, but her words implicitly implied that it was Chi Dong's fault.

"Oh, Sister Xuan is not the kind of person who would take other people's things. Maybe you accidentally put it in the wrong place, and then another colleague picked it up and put it on Sister Xuan's desk."

Other onlookers also responded.

"Yeah, I guess that's it."

"There has never been a theft in our department before. You must have misplaced it."

"That's right, you put it there randomly, and you still have the nerve to blame others. The newcomers nowadays are really amazing."

Liu Ke hurried into the office building. As soon as she reached the office area, she heard a fierce quarrel. She frowned and looked in the direction of the sound.

"What's going on? What are you guys arguing about? The whole building can hear you. What are you doing here? Why don't you get back to work?"

Liu Ke's face was serious and her eyes swept coldly, "You two follow me." After saying that, she turned around and walked quickly towards the office. The aura emanating from her body made the air around them a little colder.

Chi Dong followed her silently with a calm expression. On the contrary, Sister Xuan, who was standing aside, stiffened suddenly when she heard Manager Liu asking them to go into the office, and a trace of panic flashed across her proud face.

…………

"Tell me, what's going on?"

Liu Ke sat behind her desk, folded her hands, and looked seriously at the two people standing in front of her.

"I……"

Chi Dong wanted to explain the whole story, but before he could say a word, Sister Xuan beside him interrupted him.

"Manager, this person accused me of stealing his things without any evidence. After all, I am a veteran employee of the company and everyone knows my character. How could I do such a despicable thing?"

Sister Xuan paused and glanced at Chi Dong with disdain. "Besides, I'm deaf, so there's no need for me to steal this kind of junk. Who knows if it has a virus or not?"

Seeing that she was getting more and more outrageous, Chi Dong couldn't help but glare at her, "Don't go too far with your words."

"Why? It's well known that I always talk like this. And don't forget that the company's important documents have been lost and we haven't figured it out yet. Maybe you staged the incident to win sympathy."

"Alright, alright, stop arguing." Seeing the two people deadlocked, Liu Ke rubbed his temples with a headache. He wanted to scold Chi Dong and tell him not to make trouble, but then he thought of the scene he saw when he got off work yesterday.

"Manager Liu, don't worry, I will find out who stole it myself and will not accuse a good person."

Liu Ke waved his hands, as if letting him do whatever he wanted, and compromised: "Okay, I'll give you three days. If you can't find the answer, let me handle it. I have something else to do here, so you guys go out first."

"Yes, Manager Liu."

"You're killing me with laughter. I'll just sit here and see what you can find out." Sister Xuan sneered, as if she was mocking him for doing useless work. After saying that, she walked away in her 5cm high heels without looking back.

Chi Dong didn't take her words to heart and turned to leave, but unexpectedly a voice came from behind him, "What is your relationship with Special Assistant Chen?"

Chi Dong was stunned for a moment, paused, turned around and looked over in surprise, "No, it's okay, Manager Liu, why do you ask that?"

"It's nothing, go back. I'm here to remind you, don't think about arguing when you encounter problems. The company is a place to work, not a vegetable market. Arguing can't solve the problem." Liu Ke said in a light tone and no longer asked about the relationship between him and Chen Lian.

Although Chi Dong was surprised, he was driven out by Liu Ke before he could explain. When he went out, he happened to meet Lin An'an who was returning from delivering documents for Liu Ke.

The two looked at each other, and Lin An'an's eyes flashed with a hint of coldness, while Chi Dong showed suspicion.

You know, he and Lin An'an have a grudge against each other, and Lin An'an was also at the scene yesterday. Although Sister Xuan is the biggest suspect, Chi Dong always feels that something is wrong.

"...Good morning." Out of courtesy, Chi Dong politely nodded and said good morning to Lin An'an.

However, Lin An'an seemed not to see him. He ignored him and walked straight in with an expressionless face.

Seeing this, Chi Dong didn't want to put his warm face on other people's cold butt anymore, so he quickly returned to his seat.

Not long after he sat down, his phone rang with a WeChat message from Special Assistant Chen.

Chi Dong clicked on it and saw that it was a video. The video was not long, only 15 seconds. However, just these 15 seconds were enough for him to know who stole the hearing aid.

"It's him." Chi Dong, who watched the video twice in a row, frowned, pressed his lips into a straight line, and whispered to himself.

He remembered what Liu Ke had just reminded him: "Be careful with your words and actions, and think clearly about the consequences before you act." He was about to stand up and walk out, but suddenly stopped. He clenched his palms, which were full of sticky sweat.

Just when he was hesitating, he received another message on his phone. This time it was not from Assistant Chen, but from his senior.

[AA Step·The One I Love the Most]: Junior, I already know what happened. We can talk about it when I come back.

Looking at this message, for the first time, Chi Dong did not reply immediately. Instead, he thought about what he should do next. Did he really have to make a fuss?

no!

He rejected the idea the next second. If the incident became a big one, it would be bad for everyone, especially the company and his seniors. He couldn't let a bad apple spoil the whole barrel.

However, he was unwilling to give up just like that. Chi Dong stared at the message sent by Bu Qianli in silence for a long time. Finally, he compromised and chose to listen to him and wait for him to come back before making a decision.

………

At this time, in the secretariat on the 21st floor, Chen Lian, under Bu Qianli's instructions, had investigated the matter overnight yesterday and reported the results of the investigation to Bu Qianli in a timely manner.

Bu Qianli is still dealing with the trouble caused by other people and cannot come back for the time being. After learning what happened to Chi Dong, he immediately asked Chen Lian to buy a high-configuration hearing aid in the name of the company.

Although it can't compare to the tailor-made one, it is at least much better than the backup one Chidong is wearing now.

When Chen Lian came down from the operations department carrying an exquisite bag, Chi Dong was just walking out of the tea room and saw Chen Lian coming in from the door.

He thought Chen Lian was here to see Manager Liu, so he thought about saying hello to him and going back to his seat. However, before he could do anything, Chen Lian smiled and gestured for him to go back to the tea room, saying that he had something to tell him.
