Du Ruo asked Yuan Tingchuan to bring a message to Mr. Li, saying that he was accidentally injured while going out and was recuperating at a friend's house. He would visit him again when he had time in the future.
I called Li Anze again, and Li Anze sounded quite worried on the phone.
"How did you get hurt? Didn't the trip go well? Why didn't you call me? I asked the driver to pick you up."
"I'm fine now. I've seen a doctor. I'm staying at a friend's house for the time being. I'll come to see you when I'm healed and we'll talk again." Du Ruo really had something to say to Li Anze. She had wanted to wait until she came back from the countryside, but she didn't expect this to happen.
Li Anze's voice was low, yet with his usual generosity and gentleness: "I'll be waiting for you. Don't worry. A broken bone takes a hundred days to heal. You need to slowly heal the external injury so you don't let it become a chronic disease. If your friend's place isn't convenient, I invite you to stay at the Li family for a while. You can play chess with the old man, go fishing, and he'll have some company."
Du Ruo agreed with a smile and hung up the phone with Li Anze. Then she heard someone behind her say, "When did you become so familiar with Li Anze?"
Du Ruo smiled and looked at Yuan Tingchuan: "Mr. Yuan has been sending people to follow me. My every move cannot escape your scrutiny. Do you still need to ask me?"
It was because of this that Yuan Tingchuan was puzzled. His people had been following Du Ruo, and Du Ruo's every move was under his control. This was his habit. He had been taught since he was a child that his things should not be out of his control.
Taking precautions is a principle ingrained in Yuan Tingchuan's mind.
But this incident made him a little confused. He had known Li Anze for many years. He was a natural-born customer, and his sense of touch was much more sensitive than that of ordinary people. He seemed gentle and generous, but his mind was extremely difficult to understand. Li Anze was not a casual person, and this incident revealed a hint of weirdness.
Yuan Tingchuan glanced at Du Ruo. It seemed that she would not reveal it, which was a bit unusual.
Du Ruo didn't care what Boss Yuan guessed, he couldn't find out anyway.
After she regained some mobility, she would run to the auction house in front every few days to watch the fun.
Occasionally, they would bid on it, but not many people would bid.
She seems to be very rich now, but she is actually very poor. Money is needed everywhere in the company, and the money earned is invested in the company. The company is growing rapidly, and it is all built with real money.
When she called Ji Bailin before, Ji Bailin sighed and said, "Sister, you are amazing. Your Shengshi Group is developing very rapidly. I heard that Shang Yi of your company is simply invincible in the stock market. Where did you find such a treasure? It's like a treasure pot."
Du Ruo smiled and said, "I'm lucky in this regard. I came across it by chance while eating at KFC."
Ji Bailin said enviously, "I'd like to go there someday, maybe I'll have the same good luck. But, are you really unable to come to my engagement party?"
"I can't help you. My leg is injured. I can't go in a wheelchair. I can't help you and it might even cause trouble. Wait until you get married. I will definitely go when you get married."
"Then we have a deal, you must come when I get married." Ji Bailin said helplessly. His sister was injured for no other reason, so he couldn't force her to do so. He could only talk about it later.
"By the way, sister, I want to ask you something. When you went to Myanmar, were you with Yuan Tingchuan?"
Du Ruo said calmly, "Yes, I was able to return safely thanks to Mr. Yuan. The situation over there is very chaotic and quite dangerous. I'm even thinking about not going there anymore."
There was a hint of hesitation in Ji Bailin's voice. He stammered, "Sister, did you meet Mr. Zhong when you were in Burma?"
Du Ruo was a little surprised: "Mr. Zhong? Oh, I know who you are talking about. I met him once when I was in Yu City. What's wrong?"
Ji Bailin's voice was somewhat sad. "Old Zhong had an accident in Myanmar, and the Zhong family is in turmoil right now. I know you were there too, so I asked about it."
Just asking? No way? Although Du Ruo had only known this cheap brother for a short time, she knew that her brother was no naive person. How could he just ask casually?
"Did something happen? That's impossible. People like Mr. Zhong always take a lot of people with him when he goes out. How could something happen to him? But it's really chaotic over there. Could they have encountered armed forces?" There was confusion in Du Ruo's voice, as if she really didn't know about this.
Ji Bailin sighed and said, "No one knows the specific situation. No one who went with us came back alive. We don't even know what happened. That's why I want to ask you."
This time, Du Ruo was truly surprised. None of the people who had gone with him returned alive? That wasn't right. Hadn't it been Wei and the others who were wiped out?
"No way? Did Mr. Zhong only bring two or three people with him? When I saw him in the Jade Market that time, he was surrounded by people. How could he go to a place like Myanmar without so many people?"
"How is that possible? I heard they brought over a dozen people, but for some reason, not only did no one come back alive, but several of them are nowhere to be found, even Mr. Zhong's personal secretary, Wei, has vanished without a trace."
Hearing Ji Bailin say this, Du Ruo's eyes flashed: "Is there something wrong with Secretary Wei? Didn't the Zhong family investigate?"
"We've investigated, but there's no clue. The Zhong family now suspects that Mr. Zhong's death is related to Secretary Wei, and they're investigating who sent him. This is a brilliant chess move. Secretary Wei has been with Mr. Zhong for over a decade. The chess pieces have been set up for so many years, and the person playing the chess must be very patient."
"I met Mr. Zhong once. He was a very kind elder. It's really a pity. Are you familiar with his family?" Du Ruo asked casually.
Ji Bailin said, "Mr. Zhong is an elder of my fiancée, and a very close elder, so I wanted to ask."
Du Ruo understood: "I haven't seen Mr. Zhong, how about I ask Mr. Yuan for you?"
Yuan Tingchuan had entered the room a long time ago and was sitting on the sofa drinking tea from a cup.
He glanced at Du Ruo when he heard that, and saw that Du Ruo's eyes were full of smiles. This woman was doing it on purpose, so boring.
After hanging up the phone with Ji Bailin, Du Ruo asked with a smile: "What's going on with Mr. Zhong? How did the whole army get wiped out? This shouldn't happen, right?"
The man was holding the teacup and was only focused on drinking tea. The hot steam dyed his handsome eyebrows and eyes, making them look ethereal and unreal.
