Hearing the voices coming from outside the door, Zhou Yunwan immediately went over and opened the door.
Outside the door, Shen Yanli was standing by the guardrail, talking to a woman holding a child.
"I knew that you, Professor Shen, must be wronged. How could you be a person with a bad style? Now that the investigation is clear, it can be regarded as restoring your innocence."
The woman had a kind smile on her face, but the smile clearly did not reach her eyes. The contradiction between the two made her look a little weird.
Zhou Yunwan found her familiar, but couldn’t remember where she had seen her before, so she looked at Shen Yanli in confusion.
Shen Yanli whispered, “She is my neighbor’s wife, Li Ping. You met her on the stairs before.”
When he said this, Zhou Yunwan and Li Ping both remembered what happened that day. Seeing that she was young, the latter immediately thought of what her husband had said before, and blurted out subconsciously: "I remember, you are Professor Shen's lover."
There was a hint of contempt in her tone, and Zhou Yunwan frowned thoughtfully.
Looking at the other person, she thought of the two time points marked in the report letter when she appeared here. She happened to run into the other person's husband at both times, so she couldn't help but be suspicious.
...
...
Moreover, Chen Yanli had said before that she was the daughter of his father's comrade-in-arms. Even if the other party had forgotten and did not know her, she would not directly say that she was Chen Yanli's lover.
After a short silence, Li Ping realized that she had said the wrong thing and quickly found an excuse to leave: "Oh, I was so busy talking to Professor Shen that I almost forgot that I was stewing soup in the kitchen."
As soon as she finished speaking, the child in her arms asked in confusion: "Mom, you obviously didn't make soup... Ouch, mom, why are you pinching me?"
Li Ping retracted her strength, cursed in a low voice, "Shut up!", without even looking at Zhou Yunwan and Shen Yanli, she turned around and went back to her home.
Shen Yanli narrowed his eyes. He had just returned from downstairs when he saw Li Ping lingering at the door of his house. As soon as he approached, she directly asked about the results of the investigation into the report letter. She seemed more anxious than he, the person involved.
He felt strange at the time, and now judging from the other party's series of reactions, he was even more certain that the other party was hiding something.
After taking a look, Shen Yanli withdrew his gaze, and his gaze collided with Zhou Yunwan's. They understood each other tacitly, and he said softly, "Go in first."
Zhou Yunwan nodded softly and moved aside to let him enter the house.
Shen Yanli noticed the cleaned tabletop at a glance, frowned, and said, “Just keep the cup and I’ll clean it up. You don’t have to help me with housework…”
"Why do you care about cups now? Come and sit down." Zhou Yunwan interrupted him, grabbed his arm and sat on the sofa, and asked impatiently: "Have you ever had a grudge with your neighbor?"
Shen Yanli heard the implication of her words, his eyes fell on her excited and angry little face, his mind wandered, and after a moment he responded in a low voice: “Revenge, there shouldn’t be, but…”
Before he finished speaking, Zhou Yunwan couldn't wait to ask, "But what?"
Seeing that she cared so much about herself, Shen Yanli's eyes deepened slightly, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but curl up a satisfied and gentle smile.
Zhou Yunwan frowned and said unhappily, "What are you laughing at? I'm talking to you seriously about business now!"
Shen Yanli also knew that his current thoughts were inappropriate, but he just couldn't control himself. He tried his best to endure it and finally suppressed the urge to kiss her.
Before her anger rose again, he adjusted his attitude and said, "But we had an argument over a project some time ago."
"Hmm?" Zhou Yunwan nodded, motioning for him to continue.
Shen Yanli told her what happened that day and added: “In the end, I got that project.”
Out of curiosity, Zhou Yunwan asked, "Why does he want that project so much?"
Shen Yanli's voice was flat: "He should want to be promoted to deputy director with that project."
Hearing this, Zhou Yunwan was silent. If this were the case, wouldn't Chen Yanli be blocking other people's paths to promotion and wealth in disguise?
She couldn't help but guess: "Could it be that the other party is holding a grudge and reported you out of revenge?"
"It's not impossible, but there is no evidence yet."
Zhou Yunwan naturally knew that without evidence, there was no way to convict the person, nor was there any way to find the other party to argue. What if a good person was wrongly accused?
There is no surveillance in this era, unlike in later times when one can just check the surveillance when something happens. However, a confidential unit like the research institute probably won't install too many surveillance cameras.
Thinking of the surveillance, Zhou Yunwan suddenly had an idea. She grabbed his arm and said, "Why don't you tell your boss about the conflict you had before? Then focus on investigating his movements that day. What if there are witnesses who saw him near the suggestion box?"
"There are also handwritings and other things that can be compared..."
She racked her brains to think of a way, Shen Yanli listened carefully, and agreed from time to time, but her big hands became dishonest...
Zhou Yunwan was talking until her mouth was dry. She had just licked her lips when a cup full of water was handed to her. It was the one she had left for her. She held the cup and took two sips. When she wanted to put the cup down, she felt resistance coming from her waist.
She looked down and realized that Shen Yanli had tightly embraced her waist and held her in his arms. The man's chest was broad and firm, and it was very comfortable to lean on, so she hadn't noticed it before.
This guy is really something. How can he be so frivolous when we are talking about serious matters?
Before Zhou Yunwan could get angry, he suddenly leaned over, held her face, and kissed her on the lips: "Wanwan, you are so smart."
Being kissed unexpectedly, being praised unexpectedly.
Zhou Yunwan was stunned for a moment, her face turned red for some unknown reason, and she tucked the hair around her ears uncomfortably.
In terms of IQ, can she compare with him? It's possible that he was unaware of the methods she had just thought of, and they might be more comprehensive than she thought, so she didn't need to worry about them at all.
Thinking of this, Zhou Yunwan narrowed her eyes, poked his chest hard, and snorted: "Who allowed you to kiss me? And, don't think I will forgive you just because you praise me. I haven't settled the score with you yet."
After talking about business, it’s time to talk about personal matters.
Chen Yanli grabbed her wrist, his fingertips constantly stroking the delicate skin, his narrow and long phoenix eyes were filled with lingering affection, his voice was tight, and he admitted his mistakes in a very good manner: "Wanwan, it was wrong of me to hide it from you, I apologize to you, you can punish me however you want..."
Zhou Yunwan looked at him, his obedient appearance allowing her to deal with him. She rolled her eyes and became excited: "How can I punish you?"
