When Mu Yu and Qin Jinhuan arrived at the sales office, Bian Zijun was directing the clean-up process. He came up to them as soon as he noticed the couple and pointed toward one of the office rooms. “That office has been cleaned up, boss. Let’s talk inside.”
Qin Jinhuan gave him a slight nod and went into the office with Mu Yu.
From the looks of it, what he meant by that was they’d simply rearranged the tables and chairs and placed them back to an upright position.
Just then, Mu Yu noticed a chair with a broken leg at the corner of the room and thought that it was strange. “Has this place been ransacked as well?”
“Yeah.” Bian Zijun brought each of them a glass of warm water. “At least the water dispenser is still working fine.”
“Did the same property owners do this?”
“We’re not so sure at the moment since we’re still in the middle of investigating.” Bian Zijun quickly went up to Qin Jinhuan’s
“Mr. Qin!” Qin Jinhuan turned around in surprise when he heard a familiar voice calling him, but he didn’t expect the person standing behind him to be Yin Anran whom he hadn’t seen in a long time. After Yin Anran was slashed in the face by Dong Wanqing, he made her rest at home with the excuse that she needed time to recuperate. Since then, he hadn’t seen her up until now. The woman in front of him was dressed neatly as always. She had on a face of elegant makeup and styled her hair in her favorite big, loose curls—she looked just like old times. The only difference was there were now two scars on her face, and even the foundation she had on couldn’t erase their existence. They weren’t exactly hideous, but the presence of them on such a beautiful face formed a contrast, making them look especially ugly. Naturally, Qin Jinhuan knew the story behind the scars—Yin Anran had gotten them from Dong Wanqing when the latter slashed her face w
Rong Jian grabbed the person who spoke and asked for confirmation, “Is Qian Xiaoyu the person you’re referring to?”“Y-Yeah!” The person looked somewhat nervous as he answered because Rong Jian was wearing his uniform. As such, the latter could understand this; now was the time of emergency, and anyone would be afraid of being questioned. Therefore, he wasn’t surprised and merely continued to ask, “Does she often pass out?”“I don’t know that. It’s the first time I have seen her pass out, anyway.” The person appeared cautious as he answered.Just then, Mu Yu interjected, “Are there medical staff here?”“Yes, there are. We have an infirmary.”Rong Jian continued to ask, “Is Mr. Tian’s relationship with Miss Qian good? They—”“I have to work!” the person interrupted him with an apologetic smile. “Just ask Mr. Tian if you have any questions,” he said. After finishing his sentence, he ran away in a flas
“I didn’t kill Dacheng!” Tian Maocai looked at Rong Jian frantically. “I really didn’t kill him, Chief Rong!”“People with a clear conscience don’t have to worry about this.” Rong Jian didn’t answer his question directly, instead gesturing for him to take a seat and slowly explain himself.However, Tian Maocai didn’t sit down. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and explained nervously, “Chief, I did dislike Dacheng’s laziness, and Xiaoyu did give him plenty of money to cover his expenses, but he’s still my brother-in-law regardless of everything! No matter how bad things are, it wouldn’t have been enough reason for me to kill him! Those who kill will have to pay with their own lives!”“If you didn’t kill him, why did you two try to make your alibis match up with each other? Are you saying that your wife killed him?!”No one had expected Wu Xing to suddenly cut in with that question. Tian Maocai’s face, which was already red
“Dacheng came here roughly four to five years ago, but I can’t remember the exact time and date.” “Four to five years ago?” At the same time, Mu Yu’s and Rong Jian’s eyes glistened as the former swiftly asked, “Where was he around that time? Was he at Huacheng?!”“I have no clue.” When he saw that everyone was staring at him, Tian Maocai could tell that they were skeptical of him. He immediately opened his eyes wide as he exclaimed, “I really have no idea! Ever since he was young, Dacheng wasn’t exactly the sharpest tool in the shed. More than 20 years ago, an accident happened and he got separated from his family. His parents searched high and low for him, and they even called the cops. A few months later, a homeless man in the neighboring city was hit by a car until he practically became ground meat, and the police allowed his family to identify the corpse. After recognizing that it was in fact their son, they cried their eyes out and brought his
“What happened?” Wu Xing was also baffled when he saw it. “Did the Bureau send anyone here other than us?” he asked Rong Jian in surprise. “No, I’m fully responsible for this case,” Rong Jian answered as he paced swiftly toward the dorm. Tian Maocai followed behind and tried to explain, “Perhaps it was the wind? The wind is rather strong in the mountains, after all.”“It’s not because of the wind, but a person! Look, they even left the seals on the ground!” Wu Xing caught up with Rong Jian’s footsteps and exclaimed, “Something’s off, Chief Rong!”The latter ignored his words, and his speed walk turned into a jog as Rong Jian navigated to the dorm before pushing the door open. However, the door couldn’t be opened. As he was thinking about ramming the door open, Tian Maocai stopped him.“I have a key, Chief Rong. The door isn’t broken, so a key should do the job.”Rong Jian immediately moved away up
The company had decided to call for a meeting of Xinyue Estates’ property owners the next day, intending to have it attended by three to five representatives of property owners for each phase. However, such an arrangement was met with vehement objections from the property owners, for they claimed that three to five representatives were too few to represent the dozens of blocks. Instead, it would be better to have three to five representatives attend the meeting for each unit.Standing in front of Qin Jinhuan’s desk, Chao Chenyu wiped his sweat as he asked, “Xinyue Estates was built in ten phases, with each phase comprising 30 to 40 blocks and each block consisting of four or five units. If the meeting is to be attended by three to five representatives per unit, won’t we have to prepare a conference hall that can accommodate at least 10,000 people?”Qin Jinhuan shot him a look of intense displeasure. “Are you going to cater to their whims?”
Qin Jinhuan’s eyes darkened at Bian Zijun’s words, but he was surprised to hear a familiar woman’s voice. “No, I wasn’t eavesdropping! I just wanted to knock on the door!” He took a good, hard look and saw Yin Anran, who looked quite panic-stricken.Bian Zijun had always disliked Yin Anran, and he treated her politely only because of Qin Jinhuan. At present, Yin Anran had been covertly fired by Qin Jinhuan, yet she turned up here in such a manner. Therefore, he instantly reproached in a brusque tone and said, “Would anyone knock on the door as furtively as you did?”“I wasn’t acting furtively! You opened the door when I had just reached out my hand to knock on it, so I lost my balance and tumbled inside. If you don’t believe me, you can ask Secretary Zhi! She saw me coming over!” Yin Anran hurriedly defended herself. If Bian Zijun were to talk to her like this in the past, she would have immediately told him to get lost. However, she was no longer as
An hour ago, Qin Jinhuan presided over the meeting of high-level executives after having just presided over the board meeting. He formally announced Wen Zeyu’s resignation, instantly causing an uproar among the crowd. Lu Jinwei, the head of the human resources department, asked Qin Jinhuan emotionally at once if Wen Zeyu’s resignation had anything to do with the vicious murders and if the man was afraid of becoming the murderer’s next target.These vicious murders had been a taboo that couldn’t be casually mentioned at the company. Typically, almost no one dared to discuss this subject at the company, so Lu Jinwei was practically asking for trouble by questioning Qin Jinhuan in such a direct manner at this moment. The latter’s face darkened in an instant, and he slammed the folder in his hand on the conference table with a loud thud. Those who had been whispering among themselves shut up immediately, but only Lu Jinwei was insensible. Heedless of the consequences
