At the crematorium closest to Jiangcheng Hospital, a truck slowly came to a stop at the gate.
Inside the carriage, there was a stretcher covered with a white sheet, and under the sheet was a corpse.
An elderly couple helped each other out of the car and stumbled into the crematorium.
Not long after, he came out looking dejected.
"Not open for business? How could it not be open for business?" the man muttered to himself.
The woman looked distraught, her eyes swollen, clearly having just had a good cry.
Hearing this, a faint glimmer of light appeared in her eyes: "Since they're not open for business, why don't we take Xiao Cheng back?"
The man slapped the woman across the face and roared, "Pull him back? How can we pull him back? Didn't you hear what the master said? Xiao Cheng is resentful and died with his eyes open. He will return as a vengeful ghost to take revenge on the person who forced him to his death. Only by burning and burying his body as soon as possible can we ensure his safety."
He pointed at her nose and cursed, "You old hag, don't try to kill yourself by blaming me. If this place is closed, I'll go somewhere else. I refuse to believe that all the crematoriums in Jiangcheng are closed!"
The woman staggered to the ground after being slapped, covering her face and daring not to make a sound, tears streaming down her face.
The man ignored her and turned to walk quickly toward the truck.
Seeing this, the woman quickly got up from the ground and stumbled after him.
Soon, the truck started up again and sped off toward another crematorium.
On the other side, Qiqi and Ji Chengfeng bid farewell to Madam Rong, and Ji Chengfeng took her to the Ji Group.
Inside the office, Qiqi swung her short legs around. The coffee table in front of her was piled high with snacks, fruits, and milk. Qiqi's cheeks were bulging from eating.
Ji Chengfeng went to the conference room to discuss with the public relations department how to suppress the online public opinion.
Qiqi was enjoying her meal when the office door suddenly clicked open from the outside.
Qiqi paused in her apple-eating motion, jumped up, flipped over the back of the sofa, and squeezed her small body into the gap between the sofa and the wall.
The next moment, the door was pushed open, and a furtive figure entered from outside.
Qiqi took out a blank talisman from her small crossbody pocket and tore it into the shape of a paper figure.
With a fingertip touching the paper figure's brow, the paper figure was held between the fingers and quietly slipped onto the sofa through the gap.
Through the little paper doll's eyes, Qiqi saw that the person who came in was actually Ruan Xu.
As soon as Ruan Xu entered, he went straight to Ji Chengfeng's desk.
After rummaging through the folders on my desk without finding what I was looking for, I started looking through the drawers.
However, Ji Chengfeng's drawers were all locked. He tried to open several of them but couldn't, so he kicked the cabinet in frustration.
Looking at the faint yin energy on Ruan Xu's body, Qi Qi realized that after the evil god helped him kill people, he did not receive a satisfactory offering from him and had begun to pester him.
Unfortunately, the big bad guy has no idea that he's about to be in trouble!
Ruan Xu was genuinely unaware that, unable to open the drawer, he then set his sights on Ji Chengfeng's computer.
Unfortunately, Ji Chengfeng's computer was password protected, and he tried several sets of numbers, but none of them worked.
If we try again, the computer will be locked, and Ji Chengfeng will definitely find out that someone has tampered with his computer, which will surely alert the perpetrator.
Ruan Xu reluctantly got up from his chair, gritted his teeth, and scanned the office with a gloomy gaze.
Where would Ji Chengfeng keep those confidential documents?
Suddenly, voices came from outside. The public relations director was talking to Ji Chengfeng.
"President Ji, the current online public opinion is indeed not very friendly to us. Even if we handle it according to the plan we just discussed, I don't think the effect will be very ideal. The most important thing is to determine Du Cheng's physical condition and see if he had any other underlying diseases before his death."
"Du Cheng's body has been taken away by his family. If they don't cooperate, we can't force them to undergo a physical examination."
"Then what can we do? Are we just supposed to accept our bad luck and take the blame?"
"Let's do what we agreed on first. Even if the results aren't great, it's better than doing nothing."
"yes."
As soon as he finished speaking, Ji Chengfeng pushed open the door and entered, immediately spotting Ruan Xu standing beside the desk with his hands hanging down.
Ji Chengfeng frowned: "What are you doing here?"
My gaze swept across the sofa area; half of the snacks on the coffee table had been eaten, but Qiqi was nowhere to be seen.
Ji Chengfeng wasn't worried. He figured the little guy probably saw Ruan Xu come in and hid somewhere.
Ruan Xu looked honest and guilty: "President Ji, I'm here to apologize for what happened between Xiao Jian and Jiao Jiao that day."
"No need." Ji Chengfeng shook his head coldly. "If a child is not taught, it is the father's fault. As a father, disciplining your child is your responsibility, and it's more effective than apologizing a hundred times on his behalf!"
Faced with such a blunt reprimand, Ruan Xu's expression changed, but he still smiled awkwardly: "President Ji is right. I have failed to fulfill my responsibilities as a father. I promise I will definitely change in the future."
"Okay, go out."
After dismissing Ruan Xu, Ji Chengfeng glanced around the office and looked at several places where people could hide, but he couldn't find Qi Qi anywhere. He couldn't help but feel a little panicked.
"Qi Bao, where are you?"
"Daddy, I'm here." A sound came from behind the sofa, and Qiqi, holding an apple, peeked out from behind the sofa.
"Why did you hide there?" Ji Chengfeng glanced at the narrow gap between the sofa and the wall, then quickly went over and carefully lifted his little girl out from behind.
"Are you injured?"
Qiqi shook her head: "Daddy, I'm fine."
But still worried that his little girl might get scratched, Ji Chengfeng carefully checked her arms and exposed skin.
They breathed a sigh of relief when they found there wasn't a single scratch or even a hint of redness.
Qiqi put the apple on a plate and grabbed the little paper doll: "Daddy, that wicked uncle of yours came by looking for something. He went through your folders and computer, but he didn't find anything."
"Okay, I understand." He had heard that someone from Zhanyang Group had recently contacted Ruan Xu, probably trying to obtain some confidential information about the Ji family through him.
Unfortunately, his computer not only had a password but also a fingerprint unlock.
No one but him could open it.
Important documents were locked in his office safe.
Ruan Xu wanted to find it, but it was simply impossible.
It seems that his order to take over the projects he was in has made him a little anxious.
Ruan Xu was indeed anxious. Recently, one project after another had been transferred to other people because of some minor issues.
The threatening letters he received further alarmed Ruan Xu.
He wanted to make a big profit as soon as possible and then run away.
Just then, people from Zhanyang Group approached him, asking him to steal confidential information from the Ji Group.
After the matter is settled, he will not only be promised an astronomical sum of money for retirement, but he will also be arranged to leave.
