Chapter 23 Death of Liu Qian
Jun Lan was about to thank him when Xu Tuohai lowered his voice and said, "Don't make any noise. They're still watching! If you have anything to say, come back to my office and talk."
With the heavy sound of the door closing behind her, Jun Lan finally felt relieved.
Xu Tuohai also quickly pulled her into the office.
Jun Lan: "Thank you for helping me out."
Xu Tuohai said nonchalantly while playing with his phone, "I can help you once, but I can't help you next time. Don't keep coming here for no reason. Situ has already set his sights on you. If you make any mistakes again, even the gods can't save you."
"Manager Xu is right. Even if something happens, I won't dare to come here casually anymore. If there's nothing else, I'll leave first."
"Why are you in such a hurry? If you leave so soon after just a few words, those two people next door will definitely think there's something fishy going on. You don't want to get me into trouble, do you?"
"I wouldn't dare, you're my greatest benefactor. I can't even begin to express my gratitude to you, so how could I possibly harm you? I'll stay a little longer before leaving."
"Friendly reminder, don't tell anyone else what you saw today."
"You mean the boss is coming back?"
"I'm glad you know."
Jun Lan nodded, and after a while she said hello to Xu Tuohai and left.
The two people in Room 666 were still holding a secret meeting.
Nangong Yu loosened the tie around his neck with his slender fingers and said in a commanding tone, "Situ, pour me a glass of whiskey. Remember to add ice."
Situ had no choice but to do as he was told.
Nangong Yu drank the glass of whiskey in one gulp, and his face looked unhappy.
"Is the refrigerator out of ice cubes? Why only add two?"
"My dear young master, you can't drink anything too cold in this weather." Situ said expressionlessly. He glanced at his phone and said, "She's gone."
Nangong: "She was the one who broke in last time. Do you want to touch this painting again?"
Situ nodded.
"Then why is she still here?"
"That Xu Takuhai wants to protect her."
"Xu Tuohai is becoming more and more daring. He even dares to openly oppose us."
"It's no wonder he's such a noble man, yet now he has to be held hostage here. Not to mention daring to challenge us, if he gets the chance, he will definitely uproot us at all costs."
"It's really a disaster to raise a tiger. I shouldn't have kept him around in the first place. But it's no use saying I regret it now."
"We can leave this serious problem for later. The most important thing now is how to deal with Liu Qian's matter."
"What else can I do? I'll just find her, get my Star of Heaven back, and teach her a lesson."
Situ shook his head. "If it were that simple, I would have done it for you a long time ago and wouldn't have kept it from you for so long."
"I knew you were hiding something from me. Tell me, what's the problem?"
"Liu Xi is not just missing, she is dead."
"The Whereabouts of That Heart"
"No clue."
The four people in the room looked at each other in silence for a long time.
Situ: "I've already made arrangements with the police. They won't announce Liu Xi's death for the time being. As soon as they find out where Tian Zhixin is, they'll notify us immediately."
"You can't rely on them alone. You have to find a solution on your own. You know very well what the Heart of Heaven means to us."
"You don't need to emphasize it again."
That day, Junlan came to the electrician's office with a bunch of bananas.
Electrician: "What's wrong? Is the light in the office off? Or is an appliance in one of the guest rooms broken? Next time, just give me a call and I'll come down and fix it for you. Why are you so polite and even bring some fruit up?"
"It's okay, it's okay. I see you electricians are usually very busy, so I just brought up what I had at home."
"How can I help you?"
"I want to ask, just a question, my relative's door lock is the same as the door lock of the boss's office on the sixth floor. What should I do if I lose the door card?"
"Then you have to ask a locksmith. I'm just an electrician. I'm only responsible for changing batteries and locks. I don't know anything else."
"Then can you open the door of the boss's room 666?"
"You must be joking. We usually don't go to the sixth floor."
"No way, the lights and electrical locks over there must have broken down at least once!"
"That's incredible! I've worked here for decades, and as far as I know, I've never received a single call from that floor asking us to repair appliances or anything like that. But it's not surprising. Everyone on that floor is a talented person. Take Situ, for example. He's a top student in electrical engineering, several levels above us old guys who only have electrician certificates. So they usually solve any electrical problems themselves."
When Junlan heard this, she was completely disheartened and left with the banana.
The electrician said, "Ah, people these days are so realistic. They don't know how to respect the elderly and love the young. When they couldn't get what they wanted, they even took the bananas home."
When Junlan was worrying about how to get into room 666, the police came to question her about Liu Xi.
Police: "Excuse me, have you seen this woman?"
Junlan looked at the picture and said seriously, "I've only seen it once."
"Did anything special happen at that time?"
"I remember it very clearly. It happened on my first day at work. I was late for work around 8 a.m. on the 12th and was rushing back to the office. I bumped into her at the elevator entrance on the sixth floor. She seemed fine at the time and even kindly reminded me to be more careful when I walked next time."
"Okay, thank you. If you remember anything in the future, remember to call me, no matter if it's big or small, as long as it's about Liu Xi, because those small details may be insignificant in your eyes, but they may be clues to solving the case." After that, he handed Jun Lan a business card.
Junlan took the business card and nodded thoughtfully.
Jun Lan was already starving when she got home from get off work, but ever since he learned that her marriage with Fan Xi was off, Lao Lin had never been kind to her, and the food was naturally much worse.
Junlan didn't dare to complain. Her family had a tradition of not leaving food for those who hadn't done anything, so being able to have a meal was considered good enough.
After hurriedly eating a few mouthfuls of food, he returned to his room and wrote a blog about his experiences during this period and shared it online.
Previous data showed that only a handful of people watched it, and no one expressed concern or condolences.
However, tonight, for the first time ever, someone asked to add her as a friend.
She took a look and passed the verification without thinking, but for several days, that person did not send any message to Junlan, and his personal updates were also blocked to Junlan.
"He adds me but doesn't talk. If he still doesn't talk in a few days, I'll just delete this zombie!" Jun Lan said to herself.
It has been a long time since she opened WeChat. She and Fanxi have too many common friends in their social circle. Ever since she knew that she and Fanxi had broken up and he had gone to Japan to study, these friends have basically bombarded her WeChat with greetings, questions, and some even gave random comments. This really gave Junlan a headache, so she simply turned it off temporarily, out of sight, out of mind.
There was still no news from that damn Fan Xi, not a single message sent to me, and my circle of friends was still stuck at the time of the proposal.
At least make some noise whether you are dead or alive! Otherwise, if you die in a foreign land without any relatives, who will collect your body?
