Chapter 354: A Knife in the Chest
Jiang Yuan felt a sudden pain in his heart.
She lied to him and sneaked away from his men, and now she was sent back by Yan Yiru. He must think that she tried every means to sneak away to have a tryst with Yan Yiru.
Jiang Yuan didn't know how to start the first sentence, but she knew what he cared about most and what he hated most.
She didn't want to lie to him anymore, but she couldn't tell him the truth. In a hurry, she blurted out without organizing her words: "I didn't go out to meet Yan Yiru. I didn't know where he was. He just gave me a ride back. It was difficult to get a taxi where I went, and I was in a hurry to get back. I can't explain to you clearly what I did in a few words now, but maybe I will tell you later."
Her words were incoherent, illogical, and full of loopholes.
She stared at his face, but she didn't see any change in his expression. He even glanced at her lightly and turned his gaze to the front.
Jiang Yuan was pricked by his look. He was so cold, as if he didn't care at all about what she said. What she said was in vain.
"I won't do this kind of thing without saying hello again. I know I must have made you worried. I'm sorry."
Her tone was very sincere, and Zhou Zhi couldn't help but turn his head to look at her. His eyes seemed to say, it's really not easy to apologize.
She had frightened so many of them for the entire morning, and now her "I'm sorry" sounded like a joke.
Yin Dong sat motionless in the back seat, his frozen face covered with something hard and thick that seemed impossible to pierce.
It was hard to tell whether it was her eyes or her heart that Jiang Yuan felt the sting of pain from his face at that moment. She was not unfamiliar with his indifferent expression.
After a few seconds of silence, she finally couldn't hold it any longer. She made up her mind and suddenly said, "If you have time now, I want to have a good chat with you. I have something to ask you and something I want to tell you."
"drive."
He raised his chin and uttered two words in a dull voice to the front row.
Jiang Yuan suddenly felt like he was stabbed in the chest and couldn't breathe.
The car window quickly rose up, leaving only a black screen in front of her eyes. At the same time, something in her heart shook and collapsed.
The car quickly disappeared from sight. Jiang Yuan stood up, pushed down the brim of his hat with his hand, lowered his head, turned around and walked forward as if nothing had happened. But after taking just two steps, he felt a heat in the corners of his eyes and a sudden soreness in the tip of his nose.
The car was as stuffy as a hot air balloon about to explode. Zhou Zhi and the driver looked at each other silently, and the same voice echoed in their hearts: this time, they were probably really in trouble.
Ten minutes after the car drove out, Zhou Zhi called each of the company's shareholders one by one to inform them that the meeting would proceed as scheduled. After hanging up the phone, he hesitated for a few seconds, turned his head, glanced at Yin Dong's face, and asked in a low voice, "Do we still need to ask someone to check her whereabouts this morning?"
After all, some things are almost out in the open. If they really find something that cannot be made public and put it in front of Yin Dong, I am afraid he will find it difficult to face it.
Zhou Zhi asked the question but received no response. Yin Dong didn't even look at him. Zhou Zhi automatically assumed that further investigation was needed.
Both the driver and Zhou Zhi felt very uneasy at the moment. A few days ago, in this very car, two people had just advised him to be gentler to Jiang Yuan in the future. He really wanted to reconcile with Jiang Yuan at that time, but who knew that this would happen just a few days later.
Everyone could see that Jiang Yuan really didn't care about him.
