The documents are very clean and record Chen Nuo's life story.
A Chinese national from Country Z, who has always lived in Country Z and keeps a low profile.
It seems there's nothing wrong.
However, Li Yulin always felt that something was wrong.
He repeatedly flipped through the documents, his brow furrowed.
Finally, he discovered the problem.
There were no photos in the materials.
Why are there no photos?
Li Yulin looked up at his assistant and asked in confusion.
The assistant quickly explained, "We couldn't find any photos of Chen Nuo. I heard... she seems to have had plastic surgery."
"She's had plastic surgery?" Li Yulin's eyes lit up. "What are her photos before the surgery? Where did she have the procedure?"
The assistant shook his head, looking helpless: "This... we couldn't find anything either."
Li Yulin's heart sank.
"By the way, Mr. Li, CN Finance has replied, agreeing to cooperate and inviting you to meet tomorrow afternoon to discuss the details."
Li Yulin suddenly raised his head, his eyes gleaming with joy.
The next morning, Li Yulin arrived at the hotel where Chen Nuo was staying with his assistant.
He arrived early on purpose, hoping to create some opportunities for "chance encounters".
Sure enough, he saw that familiar figure in the hotel restaurant.
The woman wore a black business suit that accentuated her perfect figure, and her long, glossy black hair was casually draped over her shoulders. Every gesture she made exuded an elegant and noble air.
Even after three years, she remains so dazzling that she cannot be ignored.
Li Yulin took a deep breath, trying to suppress the surging emotions in his heart, and stepped over.
"Miss Chen Nuo, what a coincidence."
He tried to make his tone sound natural and casual.
Li Susu looked up and was slightly surprised to see who it was.
Then, she gracefully put down her coffee cup, a faint smile playing on her lips.
"Mr. Li, hello."
“Miss Chen Nuo, forgive my bluntness, but your eyes remind me of someone I used to know.”
Li Yulin stared intently at Li Susu, trying to catch a trace of emotion on her calm face.
Li Susu was slightly taken aback, but then regained her usual composure.
She stirred her coffee gently and said casually, "Mr. Li, you're joking. There are plenty of people like that in this world."
"Is it just a simple resemblance?" he pressed, unwilling to give up.
Li Susu put down her coffee cup, looked up at him directly, and said:
"Mr. Li, I accept your invitation to meet, but only to discuss cooperation."
Her tone carried a hint of displeasure at being offended.
Li Yulin's heart sank, realizing he had acted too hastily.
"I was being presumptuous," he smiled apologetically. "Let's get down to business first."
After the cooperation negotiations concluded, Li Susu asked, seemingly casually:
"By the way, Mr. Li, I heard that Li's Group previously had a very outstanding female CEO, I wonder..."
Li Yulin's expression changed, and he lowered his eyes sadly.
“That’s my sister.” His voice lowered. “Three years ago, she… fell into the sea and disappeared.”
He paused, his voice filled with bitterness, and said, "I've been looking for her, but I haven't heard a thing."
Li Susu's heart sank, and a nameless unease welled up inside her.
“At the banquet last night, I saw you and thought your figure looked a lot like hers, which is why I lost my composure for a moment.”
"I understand." Li Susu smiled faintly, but her heart was in turmoil.
After her meeting with Li Yulin, Li Susu returned to her hotel and immediately contacted her assistant.
"Help me investigate the missing female CEO of the Li Group."
