Chapter 31 Overacting
Lu Yan was still late.
When he rushed to the office to find Jiang Boyun to get the USB flash drive, he was told by the secretary Eva that the other party had already gone to a meeting.
"I'm sorry, Chairman Jiang is in a morning meeting, but he has instructed us in advance that you can wait for him in the reception room for now. The meeting will be over soon."
Eva has a neat and beautiful short hair and speaks in a very concise manner. It is not easy for women to survive in the workplace. She must have some outstanding qualities to be in this position today. Her tone is neither humble nor arrogant. She neither looks down on Lu Yan nor tries to please him too much.
Hearing this, Lu Yan looked at the time and realized that he was late: "Okay, thank you, I'll wait for him in the reception room."
Eva nodded: "I still have to deliver some documents to President Jiang, so I'll go downstairs first."
She stayed here just to pass on a message. Yujie went downstairs with the documents in her arms. The clattering sound of her high heels gradually faded away, making the corridor on this floor particularly quiet and empty.
Lu Yan was not stupid enough to sit and wait in the house. Seeing that it was still early, he simply went to the convenience store downstairs to have breakfast. After about an hour, he slowly went upstairs.
Jiang Boyun used a floor as an office, and usually no one came up except a few right-hand men. When Lu Yan was about to sit in the reception room, he glanced out of the corner of his eye and found a blue figure flashing around the corner in front of him, and he looked familiar.
Xue...Jin?
Lu Yan frowned, a little uncertain. He walked lightly behind the wall, carefully poking his head out to observe, and now he was sure that it was really Xue Jin.
Xue Jin must be planning to do something shameful, because Lu Yan found that he was operating the mobile phone screen while looking up at the surveillance above. Finally, after confirming that the surveillance screen had been completely black, he looked around, put on gloves, skillfully pressed the password lock of Jiang Boyun's office, and slipped in.
Oh~
Lu Yan raised his eyebrows in understanding. He knew without guessing that Xue Jin must have gone in to steal the accounts. Unfortunately, Jiang Boyun had deleted everything in the computer last night, so the other party was destined to make a wasted trip.
The existence of the butterfly effect has long proved one thing: the development trajectory of everything follows certain rules, but at the same time there are also unpredictable "variables".
Lu Yan made many changes after his rebirth in the third game. When he gently flapped his wings like a little butterfly, he might not only change his own destiny, but also the destiny of others.
This was obviously not Xue Jin's first time in Jiang Boyun's office. After he entered, he did not waste time looking through the documents, but sat directly in front of the computer and began to decipher the password.
He had just hacked into the surveillance on this floor, and the security would notice anything unusual in ten minutes at most, so he had to find what he wanted in the shortest possible time.
Xue Jin's fingers tapped rapidly on the keyboard. After a moment's hesitation, he clicked OK. His eyes behind the lenses were fixed on the screen, not even daring to breathe.
That's right, the password must be correct. He saw Jiang Boyun input this string of numbers last time...
"drop--!!!"
A shrill warning sound suddenly interrupted Xue Jin's thoughts. The whole office was echoing with the sound of the alarm being triggered. His pupils shrank and he stood up from his seat with a startled "whoa". Only then did he realize that he had fallen into a trap!
At that time, Jiang Boyun was sitting in a meeting room. Halfway through his speech, the watch on his wrist suddenly rang red and a big red exclamation mark appeared. His expression changed immediately: "The meeting is suspended!"
Jiang Boyun finished his words hastily, and immediately got up with his secretary and hurried upstairs. Before leaving, he remembered something, paused, and pointed at a recorder and said, "Call the security team up immediately and have them seal the entrance and exit!"
Jiang Boyun didn't even have time to take the elevator, he ran straight to the office from the stairs. Although he was sure that he had hidden his things well, the fact that someone broke into his office still made him feel cold.
Who is it?! Who is it?!
Who can get into the company building? Who can crack his office password? !
In just a few seconds, Jiang Boyun had numerous guesses in his mind, and several of his confidants, including Xue Jin, were listed as key suspects. However, when Jiang Boyun rushed into the office with a group of people, the scene in front of him made him freeze on the spot -
Lu Yanzheng stood beside the computer desk with a bewildered look on his face.
The air was still for a few seconds, and you could hear a pin drop.
"Lu Yan?! Why are you here?!" Jiang Boyun obviously did not expect how things would turn out, and his face instantly darkened.
Seeing so many people gathered at the door of the office, Lu Yan panicked and said with a look of having made a big mistake: "Director Jiang, I'm sorry, I... I was waiting for you in the office just now, but I accidentally spilled coffee on the keyboard. I was about to wipe it, but I didn't expect..."
Jiang Boyun understood what Lu Yan meant without him having to explain in detail. He frowned and looked at the desk, where there was a pool of coffee stains and tissue paper. He didn't know what he was thinking, but his expression was particularly ugly.
After a while, Jiang Boyun finally said in a deep voice: "All of you go out and ask the security guards to withdraw!"
After he said this, others had to give up even if they wanted to watch the excitement, and left the office door in twos and threes, but they couldn't stop looking at him with curiosity.
Jiang Boyun closed the door, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. However, when he saw Lu Yan's submissive look, he couldn't help but burst out with anger: "Didn't I tell you to wait in the reception room? What are you doing in my office for no reason?!"
He didn't think about how Lu Yan got in, because Lu Yan knew the combination of his office door lock.
Lu Yan took a step back, as if he was frightened and a little uneasy. He raised his chin slightly, and learned the original body's personality completely. He mustered up his courage and said righteously: "I... I just came in to sit down. It's just that I broke a computer. I didn't do it on purpose."
Jiang Boyun rushed forward upon hearing this. His usual gentle demeanor was gone, and his eyes were as sinister as Yu Zechuan's, only a little more vicious: "Is this about damaging the computer?! Do you know how many confidential files are in my computer?! Do you know that even the security team was alarmed just now?! If anything goes wrong, can you afford to take responsibility?!"
Lu Yan said nothing, his face turned pale with fear: "I..."
Jiang Boyun ignored him and took a few tissues to wipe the coffee stains. He tried to turn on the computer, and only calmed down after finding that the computer was not damaged.
But he soon found something wrong, because the computer had a record of an incorrect password input. Jiang Boyun narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Lu Yan with a sharp gaze: "Have you touched my computer?"
Lu Yan's heart tensed up, but he quickly recovered. He didn't try to hide anything, but sat down on the sofa and admitted frankly, "Yes, I touched your computer. I wanted to see if you had deleted the original account, but I accidentally triggered the alarm."
"Bang!"
Jiang Boyun was so angry that he slammed the table and gnashed his teeth, saying, "Lu Yan, are you crazy? You keep nagging about the account every day?! I told you that the account has been deleted! Why are you still not stopping?!"
Lu Yan had helped Jiang Boyun with every one of those bad things he did. In other words, Lu Yan knew exactly what was hidden in his computer that he couldn't let anyone see, so there was no need for the other party to touch his computer.
Jiang Boyun felt deeply strange. He suspected that Lu Yan wanted to get something from his computer, but at the same time, he felt that there was no need for him to touch his computer. He felt extremely conflicted.
Lu Yan suddenly said: "Because I don't want to go to jail!"
Jiang Boyun's face froze.
Lu Yan stood up from the sofa and looked directly at Jiang Boyun without hesitation. His tone was not aggressive, but even calm enough to make people feel uneasy: "Mr. Jiang, you are rich and powerful now, you have everything, and you are even going to get engaged to the daughter of Dingyou Group soon..."
Jiang Boyun panicked for a moment, then stood up subconsciously: "Ayan, listen to my explanation——"
Lu Yan raised his hand to signal him not to speak and to listen to what he had to say: "You are right. After all, your status is different from before. You need a helper who is of the same social status as you, not someone like me who is idle and can't help you at all."
When Jiang Boyun heard Lu Yan mention the past, he was instantly overwhelmed by guilt. He was pursuing fame and fortune, but after reaching a certain height, he also had the common problem of most wealthy people, that is, it was lonely at the top.
Now there are more and more people around Jiang Boyun, but none of them is sincere. He always can't help but recall the time when he was poor. There is no doubt that Lu Yan is the only witness of that time.
Lu Yan continued, "I have done a lot of things for you, some against my will and some against the law, but now I still have nothing in return."
Jiang Boyun thought Lu Yan was unhappy with his current situation, so he opened his mouth to ask for compensation. However, he was stunned by what Lu Yan said next: "I'm not saying so much because I want something from you. I just don't want anything. I just want to live the rest of my life in peace."
He paused and said, "…if those things are not handled properly and are discovered by someone, I am not afraid of going to jail, but I am afraid that you will be implicated as well."
After Lu Yan finished speaking, he calmed down. He lowered his head silently and couldn’t help but give himself a “yeah” in his heart.
Perfect!
This was simply perfect! He found an excuse for his computer troubles and pretended to be heartbroken. This way, even if he broke up with Jiang Boyun later, it wouldn't seem too sudden. The other party might even feel so guilty that they wouldn't dare to bother him.
Jiang Boyun grabbed Lu Yan's shoulders and asked him to face him. Although his tone was gentle, he was testing him: "Ayan, do you really not want anything?"
He always felt that Lu Yan gave up on him too quickly, which was not like his previous style.
Lu Yan resisted the urge to slap her and tried to keep smiling: "Didn't you transfer 1.5 million to me before..."
Bah! I got it wrong. Yu Zechuan helped me pay it back.
Lu Yan changed his words as if nothing had happened: "Didn't you transfer several million to me before? It's enough. I probably won't stay in the group to continue working. I plan to start my own small business. It's good to live a simple life. If you want to use the USB drive, you can come and get it anytime."
USB flash drive! USB flash drive! Give me the USB flash drive now, you hear me?!
Lu Yan wanted to slap these words in his face!
Little did he know that the more he said this, the more Jiang Boyun was reluctant to let go. Human nature is mean, when you get it, you don't cherish it, and when you can't keep it, you feel regretful: "Ayan, I have let you down these years..."
Lu Yan: "It doesn't matter. It really doesn't matter."
Jiang Boyun tightly grasped his shoulders, as if he was worried that he would lose his temper. His grip was so strong that his fingertips turned blue. He said in a low voice, "My mother is a bit old-fashioned. You know, she has always wanted to have a grandson. Lin Annie and I may really need to get married..."
Lu Yan: "I understand. Your happiness is the most important."
Jiang Boyun didn't know if he was touched, a trace of shock flashed across his eyes, and hesitantly said: "Ayan, you...you really don't blame me?"
Lu Yan tried to keep smiling: "No, how could I blame you?"
Jiang Boyun: "You don't hate me either?"
Lu Yan said affectionately: "I will never hate you no matter who I hate."
Very good, this answer is more perfect. Where can Jiang Boyun find such a good bootlicker? It would be really unfair if he doesn’t get the USB flash drive by tricking others into giving it to him!
Just when Lu Yan was feeling smug, Jiang Boyun suddenly got emotional and reached out to hug him. His voice was hoarse and full of guilt: "Ayan..."
Lu Yan’s back stiffened: “!!!”
Damn, that’s overacting!
