Chapter 52
At twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, Fu Nian received a call and hurried to Chen Garden.
When we arrived at Chen Garden, it was dark and everything was silent.
The housekeeper came over to open the door and said softly, "The eldest young master is in a bad mood. Please help him to calm down."
Fu Nian nodded, and just as he went up to the third floor, he heard Shen Jinghan talking on the phone, his voice sounded helpless.
"Grandpa, shouldn't you have taken your medicine and fallen asleep by now? Elderly people shouldn't stay up late."
Elder Mei's energetic voice came from the phone: "I've already woken up from a nap. How long are you going to keep this a secret from me? The Shen family's trivial matters are worth your staying up all night and working overtime until dawn."
"I didn't work overtime until dawn. Where did you hear this rumor?"
"Whether or not, you know it in your heart. If you are annoyed by those people in the Shen family, just come back and live here. I don't know what you have been doing guarding that empty place all these years. Your mother is gone."
The atmosphere in the study suddenly became sad.
Shen Jinghan said in a low voice: “I know, Grandpa.”
Fu Nian waited until Mr. Mei hung up the phone before knocking on the door and entering the study.
"Director Shen."
Chen Jinghan stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window smoking, the firelight flickering, his back looking tall and lonely.
Fu Nian placed the pile of documents he brought on the desk. Mr. Shen actually didn't like smoking. He only needed external objects to numb his nerves and ease his emotions when he was in a bad mood.
Compared to drinking, smoking is easier to control.
"Help Lin Ran complete the resignation procedures tomorrow."
Fu Nian was shocked. Going through the resignation procedures? He was the one to do it? Should he do it or not?
No wonder Director Shen was in a bad mood and worked overtime late at night.
"Miss Fifth is unwilling to come to work in the company?"
Shen Jinghan said "hmm" lightly, and the air pressure in the study became even lower.
Fu Nian instantly realized that not only had the household registration negotiations fallen through, but his job was also on the rocks.
This is really shooting oneself in the foot.
Fu Nian lowered his eyes and said, "Mr. Chen, I sent people to the small fishing village to check the household registration and found that the second young master He was also investigating what happened back then. Back then, He Yuanbai asked his eldest brother to go to the small fishing village to take care of Lin Ran. The He family may have made some moves in it.
Miss Fifth's current household registration status is illegal."
Shen Jinghan frowned, turned around and said coldly: "Illegal household?"
He Yuanbai should have been entrusted by Chen Zhuoyu before, but it is hard to say now.
Is the He family involved in this as well?
Fu Nian nodded: "The household registration department can't find her information. Even if the fifth lady returns to the small fishing village, she can't get a new ID card. It is said that..."
He paused, a little hesitant to say the following words.
Shen Jinghan's handsome face was gloomy: "Speak."
"It's said that someone reported the Fifth Miss missing, or even dead, and the Household Registration Department handled it as a cancellation of her household registration."
Fu Nian didn't even dare to raise his head. Generally speaking, things would not be handled so hastily. There must be human intervention. The current situation is that there are many doubts about what happened back then, but the truth has been completely erased.
Shen Jinghan's voice seemed to come from deep in his throat, and he spoke each word with surging anger: "Why didn't you say it back then?"
Cold sweat oozed from Fu Nian’s forehead, and his voice couldn’t be any lower: “I’m sorry, Mr. Shen, it was our negligence.”
Back then, Director Shen had issued a death order, not wanting to know any news about Lin Ran, so he didn't know that there were so many things behind this.
Who dared to mention Lin Ran in front of Mr. Shen at that time?
A year later, when Mr. Shen could hear these two words, the fifth young lady had already disappeared, and she had been missing for six years.
The corners of Shen Jinghan's eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't even notice that his fingers were burned by the cigarette butt.
He put out the cigarette in his hand and said in a hoarse voice, "Go and investigate thoroughly. Find out everything that happened back then, no matter how big or small. Also, find out who was behind this. Shen Zhongqi, Lin Ruolan, or even the He family could be involved."
Each of them has his own selfish desires and standpoints.
"Yes, Mr. Shen." Fu Nian hesitated, "Then will the fifth lady's household registration be moved?"
"move."
Shen Jinghan's voice was cold. Maybe Lin Ran herself didn't even know about the illegal household registration.
