After finishing his sentence, Li Heng turned around and pulled on the door of the archives room. After confirming that it was closed, he took out his key and locked it, completely unaware that a deep gaze was watching his actions.
After locking the door, Li Heng said goodbye to Wu Zhengyi and turned to leave.
Li Heng's footsteps gradually faded into the distance in the stairwell, disappearing completely. At the same time, the figure that had been standing at the end of the corridor was also nowhere to be seen.
A moment later, the outermost window of the archives room, which had been tightly closed, suddenly moved.
The person pushing the window seemed to know beforehand that no one was inside. Without hesitation, they pushed the window wide open in one go, then jumped in and confidently closed the window behind them.
The dim moonlight outside the window illuminated his face.
It turned out to be Wu Zhengyi, who had been standing at the end of the corridor just now.
He glanced at the scene inside the room, a cold smile appearing on his face.
What's the point of locking the door?
He can come in if he wants.
As Wu Zhengyi walked toward the document rack, he quickly pulled a miniature camera from his pocket.
Among the numerous documents, Wu Zhengyi quickly looked through them row by row and finally found the document that "that person" had told him, which was placed on the outermost shelf.
Wu Zhengyi curled his lips and quickly pulled out the documents and spread them on the table.
He chose the table furthest from the window, figuring there shouldn't be anyone on this floor at this time. He confidently turned on the desk lamp, flipping through the documents with one hand and quickly taking pictures of the contents with a miniature camera with the other.
Just as they were photographing the last few pages, nearing the end, a noise suddenly came from the hallway outside the door.
Then voices could be heard.
Wu Zhengyi frowned.
Who would it be at this moment?
Without a second thought, he sped up his work, quickly snapped a picture of the last few pages, and swiftly put the documents back on the shelf.
Then he packed up the equipment, opened the window, used one hand to support himself on the window frame and jumped out, then closed the window behind him in one smooth motion.
Moonlight streamed back into the window, and a gentle breeze stirred the curtains through the cracks.
The archive room was so quiet it was as if nothing had happened.
When the meeting ended, Jiang Yunzhou packed up his things and walked out of the conference room. He saw Xie Zhiyan standing at the door. Xie Zhiyan lowered his eyes with a complicated expression, pursed his lips, said nothing, turned his toes in a different direction, and prepared to leave.
Jiang Yunzhou.
Suddenly a voice called out to him.
Jiang Yunzhou turned around in confusion and found that it was Xie Zhiyan who had called out to him.
He frowned slightly and subconsciously glanced at Xie Zhiyan's side.
Xie Zhiyan was the only one there; Shu Ying wasn't even there.
Jiang Yunzhou's doubts deepened, but he still smiled.
But the smile didn't reach his eyes; it was devoid of warmth and even carried a hint of resentment.
"Comrade Xie Zhiyan, what's wrong? Is there something I need to explain to you?"
Jiang Yunzhou didn't want to speak in a sarcastic tone, lest he appear to be in a fit of rage.
But when facing Xie Zhiyan, the moment the words left his mouth, it was as if everything was out of his control, and his instincts changed.
Xie Zhiyan immediately saw the unwillingness in Jiang Yunzhou's eyes, and chuckled lightly, a chill seeping out from the chuckle.
He still hasn't given up on Shu Ying, just as he always has.
All his thoughts raced through his mind, but Xie Zhiyan ultimately chose not to say anything directly. Instead, he asked—
"Is there anything we can help you with lately?"
Jiang Yunzhou was slightly taken aback, feeling inexplicably as if his thoughts had been seen through.
His lips moved slightly, and for a moment he didn't know how to answer. It took him a while to find his voice.
