Chapter 51 Is this service area haunted?
Su Guhuai was still wearing a black suit, sitting upright at his desk, with his angle just in the center of the camera, as if he had just finished a video conference.
Ke Liman slightly side-glanced, her eyes inadvertently sweeping across the wall clock, the hour hand had quietly pointed to a little after eleven o'clock.
She was moved and couldn't help asking, "Are you still working so late?"
"There's a time difference. It's noon here."
Ke Liman uttered an "oh" and looked at Su Guhuai's face, wondering, "Why aren't you wearing a mask this time?"
Su Guhuai laughed, "I grew up in Country Y. Here, I don't need to hide my identity."
Seeing that he tried hard to maintain a smile, but couldn't resist the fatigue in the corners of his eyes, Ke Liman said softly, "I plan to leave for City A tomorrow afternoon."
"Okay, Butler Bai will take you to the hospital for a repair surgery tomorrow morning and send you there in the afternoon."
Ke Liman nodded lightly and wanted to say something else when she heard Ge Lin's voice coming from the other end.
"Mr. Su, we have two more video conferences later."
Ke Liman pursed her lips and said, "Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll be ready to go to bed soon."
Su Gu Huai said good night to her and hung up the phone.
Ke Li was browsing his tablet idly and played a few rounds of the Snake game. Suddenly, he felt that compared with Su Gu Huai, he was really idle.
"Is Mr. Su video chatting with Ms. Ke?"
Ge Lin had already investigated Ke Liman's identity and knew that she might become Su Guhuai's future wife, so she felt a little jealous.
Su Gu Huai did not respond to her question, "Is the information ready?"
Ge Lin was silent for a moment. She had been silently accompanying Su Guhuai for five years, and had always accompanied him on trips around the country and abroad, but every time he was with her, he only talked about business.
Seeing that she didn't answer, Su Guhuai looked up at her and said, "If you can't concentrate because of the pressure at work, you can choose to change your job."
Ge Lin's heart shuddered, and she immediately said, "No, I was just distracted."
The position of Su Guhuai's secretary is a popular one in the industry. Although he often has to travel and work overtime, the income is very considerable and he can also get to know many people in the upper class.
Ge Lin didn't dare to think about it anymore. She hurried out after sorting out the documents. As soon as she walked out of the conference room, she bumped into a woman who was about to come in.
"Sister Zhu! I'm sorry."
Ge Lin felt a little aggrieved at this time. She lowered her head, apologized to Zhu Qian, and ran away with tears in her eyes.
Li Ming whistled beside Zhu Xi, "Ah Huai is such a strict boss. He made such a cute secretary cry."
"If you still want to use your tongue, keep your mouth shut and don't talk nonsense."
Zhu Qian glanced at him and entered the office first.
"Boss, I've already dealt with the situation in Country M. Xia Ye is dead, so what are you going to do with Xia Bingbing?"
After working all day, Su Guhuai rubbed his temples tiredly and said, "Let it go."
Li Ming sat down on the sofa, playing with the small teacup on the table, "Ah Huai, why don't you just shut up and avoid endless trouble later!"
Zhu Qian glared at him and said, "Liming, can you please speak human language? Xia Bingbing did nothing wrong. You are just mad with anger."
"You guys handle it, don't ask me again." Su Guhuai looked at Zhu Qian, "You did a great job on this undercover mission. Go back home and take a rest for a while."
Zhu Qian laughed, "Boss, do you want me to protect that little girl?"
"I can't go back for now. I'm worried about her being alone in City A. Please keep an eye on Fu Nanhe."
"Fu family?" Li Ming said proudly, "They have rarely been against us in the past few months. I think they have already submitted to us. There is nothing to be afraid of."
Zhu Qian rolled her eyes and said, "Boss, ignore this simple-minded idiot. I will return home tomorrow."
Su Gu Huai stopped talking and moved his eyes to a photo frame on the table. It was the only photo of him and Ke Liman during high school.
The little girl was just scared to tears by his expressionless face, and her eyes were still red, but she forced herself to make a "yeah" gesture and take a photo with him.
At that time, he only thought that she was a soft little girl, but she would always give him candy after he was scolded. He was not good at speaking, but because of his stinky face, he scared her and made her cry several times.
Later on, he didn't dare to appear in front of her anymore. He could only let Butler Bai keep an eye on her and go to her school to build relationships so that he could always get the latest news about her at school.
Time flies, she has grown up so much now.
Li Ming approached with a gossipy look on his face, "By the way, Ah Huai, did you catch up with that flat-chested girl?"
Su Gu Huai gave Zhu Qian a look and said, "Throw him out for me."
"Okay, Boss!"
Zhu Qian simply dragged Liming by the clothes on the back of his neck and walked out. Liming's face turned pale from being strangled by her, but he was powerless to resist.
The room finally became quiet. Su Gu Huai wanted to call Ke Liman back with a video, but after looking at the time, he guessed that she had fallen asleep, so he gave up.
Ke Liman did not sleep well that night. She had nightmares about Su Zhe'an haunting her all night and woke up naturally at around six o'clock.
“It’s horrible.”
Ke Liman couldn't help but sigh, then she got up, packed up her things, took the cash and ID card from the drawer, went out to buy a cell phone and get a new phone card, then paid the rent for this month and moved out.
After everything was ready, Butler Bai showed up downstairs of her house on time and went to the hospital for reconstructive surgery, and also had the bite scar on his hand repaired.
The doctor said that this time it might not be completely clean, and she would need a course of treatment. Ke Liman then left the WeChat of the chain hospital in City A, and after everything was done, she set out on the journey to City A to go to school.
Looking at the scenery passing quickly outside the window, Ke Liman felt extremely relaxed.
She can finally get away from Su Zhe'an. At least he won't suddenly appear in front of her anymore. Once her engagement with Su Guhuai is confirmed, she will come to settle the family property when she comes back next time.
Naturally, she would not leave a single cent of what belonged to her to Su Zhe'an and his son.
It takes about seven hours to drive from City H to City A. Ke Liman fell asleep and woke up with a sore butt. She decided to take a plane next time, otherwise her butt would be rotten.
"Butler Bai, we have been driving for four hours straight. Do you want to take a break?"
Looking at Butler Bai who looked like a robot, Ke Liman couldn't help but admire the physical fitness of Su Guhuai's employees.
If she were to drive, she would probably fall asleep after two hours.
Butler Bai just thought that she wanted to go to the toilet and rest, so he immediately turned into the next service area.
After sitting for four hours, Ke Liman felt like she couldn't walk anymore and her legs were so numb.
When I was washing my hands after using the restroom, I suddenly saw a very familiar profile in the mirror.
"Xia Bingbing?"
Ke Liman thought she was dazzled. The girl went straight into the women's restroom, as if she wanted to confirm something. She also hurriedly followed her into the restroom, but the door was wide open and there was no one inside.
This service area is a bit remote, and it's night time so it feels oddly eerie. Ke Liman stopped walking inside and turned around to leave the restroom.
If Xia Bingbing really died in the explosion, did she see a ghost?
And she remembered that Xia Bingbing seemed to be a disabled person, so maybe she was just dazzled...
At this time, Xia Bingbing was standing in the corner of the toilet where there was a pile of miscellaneous items, holding a dagger in her hand. She wanted to get rid of Ke Liman here, but she didn't come in.
She put down the dagger with hatred in her eyes.
She saw with her own eyes from the window that Xia Ye was blown to pieces in the explosion, and she was spared the accident because she happened to be in the same room with Ye Chen at the time.
Later she was sent back to her country like a criminal, but today she was suddenly told she could leave.
She is just a discarded piece that is thrown away after use!
"It's all your fault. If it weren't for you, why wouldn't he get engaged to me? Why would he be willing to destroy my family? I want you to pay for it!"
Butler Bai was still waiting outside the door anxiously, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Ke Liman, "Why did Miss Ke take so long?"
"It's okay, let's go."
When Ke Liman got on the car, she looked back and saw the figure standing at the toilet door again, looking straight in the direction she left. She rubbed her eyes and looked again, but the man had disappeared.
"Butler Bai, is this service area haunted?"
