He was dressed in a black coat with a cascading flaming maple forest behind him. It's like two extremes.

Zhou He's footsteps stopped, and for some reason, he suddenly remembered the days when he lived in the small courtyard in the middle of the mountain. It has been a few years, and the years have not left any mark on his face.

His figure was still tall, and his handsome face had not changed in any way from before. It was as if time had never flowed from him.

She suddenly remembered Xu Yuanning, and the dull pain instantly punctured the nerve. She subconsciously took a step back, raised a pair of clear black eyes to look at Cheng Wei, and showed an expression similar to a smile on her slightly pale face, and said softly: "Cheng always thinks too much, why should I hate you." I was an adult at that time, and I had made my own choices, and I had nothing to regret. Besides, you've given me more than one chance. ”

Her tone was calm, and her dark eyes had been dyed with the vicissitudes of time. The person in front of her was so cold and detached that it seemed like a stranger, not someone she loved as deeply as a moth to a fire.

Her heart was as calm as ashes.

Cheng Wei looked at her quietly, and said in a dumb voice, "I'm sorry." ”

Zhou He's face was indifferent, and he said, "Mr. Cheng has nothing to be sorry for me." On the contrary, Mr. Cheng helped me a lot. Thanks to Mr. Chen, Aunt Qi was able to have surgery. Thanks to Mr. Cheng, I was not so poor at that time. ”

Every one of her items is clearly calculated. It is irrefutable facts.

Cheng Wei's eyes were deep, and he was speechless for a while.

He had brought her here, apparently with something to say. Zhou He didn't wait for him to speak again, and said, "Sorry, it's a little uncomfortable, go back to the hotel first." ”

She hurried away.

Although the cable car here has not officially started to open, because it is Cheng Wei who came up, someone has been guarding it. The descent went smoothly.

Zhou Ji didn't know what she was running away from, and she didn't want to see Cheng Wei again. Back at the hotel, she had planned to return to Kyoto immediately, but she only came here yesterday, and it was abrupt to leave today. She endured it. I didn't mention it back, and the remaining two days were spent in seclusion, and I rarely went out again.

Cheng Wei didn't know if he left or what, and she didn't see him for the rest of the year.

The time of the return trip, because I have been playing too crazy these days, and because I have to go to work, many colleagues are listless. Zhou Yiyi slept for two days in a row, and worked when the people in the car were dozing.

When she returned to Kyoto, she left early and returned late, and she didn't see Cheng Cheng again. The opposite room seemed to be unoccupied, and no one had ever been seen coming.

The weather gradually got colder, and Li Peiyuan's injuries were almost better after a re-examination. Zhou He no longer ran to the old house from time to time, and life began to return to normal.

In the dead of night, she still thinks of Xu Yuanning, and the figure she saw in the rearview mirror of the taxi is more like her hallucination as time passes.

Rao was like this, but she still refused to accept that he was no longer there. It seems that only by being so self-deceptive can you be less sad and uncomfortable.

That morning, as soon as she arrived at the office, she saw several people in the office watching something.

She was about to enter the office, but she walked over.

Footsteps were heard, and someone had already turned around. Seeing that it was her, he raised the newspaper in his hand and said, "Director Zhou, Mr. Cheng, who cooperated with our company, has made the headlines of the financial section." Tsk, he is handsome and capable, he is simply the prince charming in the hearts of thousands of girls. ”

It is not ordinary people who can be on the front page of Kyoto Finance, Zhou He is curious, and took the newspaper in her hand.

When I held it in my hand, I saw a huge black bold title: The new mysterious rich man is young and handsome and golden.

The side is equipped with the silhouette of Cheng Wei during the entertainment, the light is very dim, but the outline of his side face can still be seen clearly. At the bottom is a proud thousand-word accompanying text, starting with the assets under Cheng Wei's net worth.

This report does not seem to have been sent with the consent of the protagonist, and it is exaggerated in several places. Although the article is full of praise, Zhou He doesn't feel that it is out of good intentions at all. There was even a faint feeling of uneasiness in her heart.

Cheng Wei has always been low-key, except for his emergence when he first arrived in Yucheng, he seems to have never appeared in any newspapers, magazines and television, and has never accepted any interviews.

With his current status, there will definitely be an exclusive interview with the media. But he never went on, which proves that he is deliberately low-key. And this headline, doxxing him and the company in a big way, this may not be a good thing for him.

However, with his current ability, it would be easy to suppress the report. Zhou Ji didn't care, and after reading it casually, he returned the newspaper to his colleague.

She didn't take it to heart and got to work.

I thought that this was the end of the matter. But no, the next day's financial headlines were still Cheng Wei's, designating him as a rich man with a mysterious identity. Combined with his net worth from yesterday's doxxing, today's report makes people even more curious about his identity.

Zhou He realized that something was wrong at this time, and with Cheng Wei's low profile, even if it was an offering to the media, it would not be in such a way.

Yesterday's report was followed by a follow-up, which can only say one thing. That is, Cheng Wei's company's public relations did not be able to suppress this matter.

Zhou He looked down, and it was not the old reporter of the financial edition who wrote this report, but a new signature that he had never seen before.

And with Cheng Wei's current financial resources, his company can't suppress this matter, which can only show that the person who wrote this report has a strong backstage behind him. Maybe it's because it's instructed, or maybe it's because the backstage behind him is strong. Either way, it won't be a good thing for Cheng Wei.

Zhou He was slightly distracted and put the newspaper aside. After brewing a cup of coffee and standing at the window and drinking slowly for a while, she took out her mobile phone and dialed the number of the financial reporter she knew well. vaguely asked the reporter who signed the report.

The reporter said that he was a newcomer to their company, and he had only been working for a month. I usually don't look obvious, and I don't know what the background is behind it.

Naturally, he also noticed that these two reports were unusual.

Zhou He couldn't ask anything, so he didn't ask any more. She didn't think she was capable of doing anything about it, just waiting for tomorrow's report.

The report of the past two days has attracted great attention, and the person who wrote this report will naturally not give up halfway. It's going to be eyeballs.

When I came home at night and stood in the hallway. She tried to knock on the door opposite, but didn't move. I took out the key, opened the door and entered the house.

The next day, she arrived at the company more than ten minutes earlier than usual, and subconsciously picked up the financial newspaper of the day. No matter which page it is, there is no report about Cheng Wei today. She breathed a sigh of relief.

She thought that this was the end of the matter, but it didn't, and later, someone else published speculation about Cheng Wei's background.

Cheng Wei's people should be paying attention, and the news on the Internet was released, and it didn't take long for it to be deleted. But things have come to this point, where can be solved by deleting the post. It doesn't take long for new posts to pop up on the Internet. Someone even shouted to the reporter who wrote the report, asking him not to whet everyone's appetite and send out a report on Cheng Wei's background. It's as if the reports he writes are authoritative.

Cheng Wei's company didn't know how to deal with it in the end, and although there were still posts on the Internet the next day, they were not new content. It was as if it had been completely suppressed.

But Zhou He knew that this matter was not over. The other party has already provoked the beginning, where will it be so easy to stop there. There are no reports yet, perhaps a larger conspiracy is brewing.

Cheng Wei didn't know if he was on a business trip or moved to another place. No one from the opposite room ever came.

On the weekend, Zhou He went to the Li family's old house. Early in the morning, her eldest uncle Li Ruifeng actually came here. I don't know what's going on.

By the time she arrived, they had already finished talking. Li Ruifeng left quickly.

Zhou He hadn't been here for a while, and he didn't leave until the afternoon.

At night, when I turned on the computer and was about to work, I saw several push news. One of them is Cheng Wei's company, saying that his company is involved in smuggling and tax evasion, and now the relevant department has intervened in the investigation.

This was something that Zhou He didn't expect at all, her mind was a little confused, and she couldn't find anyone to ask around for a while, so she hesitated a little and called Meng Shan.

Meng Shan obviously just saw the news. The cooperation between the two companies, she is also concerned. Tell Zhou He that the relevant departments have indeed investigated. Regardless of whether what is said is true or not, Cheng Wei's company will definitely be affected. She also vaguely told Zhou He that someone was behind the scenes. And the people behind the scenes are not simple, otherwise they will easily push the whole world.

hung up the phone, Zhou He stood still for a long time. After a long time, she took out her mobile phone and called Lao Cao.

Lao Cao didn't know what he was doing, and no one answered the phone for a long time.

Zhou He couldn't find a way to inquire except Meng Shan, so he turned on his computer and looked up news about Cheng Wei's company on the Internet.

There is very little news about his company, and there is almost no news except for the reporter's report during this time.

Half an hour later, Lao Cao finally called back. He was polite and asked Zhou He what was going on.

Zhou He hesitated slightly, asked about the company, and asked Cheng Wei if he was under investigation.

As Meng Shan said, not only Cheng Wei, but several senior executives of the company are also under investigation. Now there is no one to see except lawyers.

Lao Cao's voice was faintly anxious, but comforted Zhou He and told her that the company did not have any illegal acts, and the lawyer would rarely deal with it, so let her not worry, he would notify her if there was news from his side.

He had other things to do, so he hung up the phone after a few words of comfort.

Zhou He stood in front of the window with her mobile phone for a long time, and she didn't seem to notice the cold all over her body. Just stared at the lights outside.

She suddenly remembered that day at the resort, Cheng Wei asked her in the maple forest. At that time, he had something to say.

Zhou He gently closed his eyes. Perhaps, he had a premonition at that time. Otherwise, he had never mentioned it for so long, how could it suddenly be advanced.

Zhou He slid down the wall and sat on the ground, buried his head between his knees, and sat dumbfounded. She didn't go to bed until the early hours of the morning, but she couldn't sleep, so she kept her eyes open until dawn.

The next day, Cheng Wei's company appeared on various news websites and newspapers at the same time, all of which discussed the mystery of his identity and whether the huge assets behind him were legitimate.

At the same time, there was also a lot of discussion in the company, talking about whether the cooperation with Cheng Wei's company could continue.

Although the people below were talking a lot, Meng Shan was extremely calm. Let the assistant announce in the company whether the cooperation will continue, she has her own opinions, so that everyone can only do what they are doing.

After she said that, there was a lot less discussion, but Zhou He was frequently distracted. She didn't even know what Meng Shan said during the meeting in the morning, and she didn't even get up and walk out after the meeting ended.

As soon as she walked to the door, Meng Shan stopped her and said, "Come with me." ”

She's wandering down there, and she doesn't know where she is. Zhou He knew that he was not in good shape, and when he entered the office, he said sorry.

Meng Shan raised her hand to stop her and asked, "Do I need to give you a few days off?" ”

The last time the company's tour happened to pick the tourist area developed by Cheng Wei's company. And Cheng Wei happened to be in the resort, how could this be a coincidence. Zhou He knew that she must have already known about her relationship with Cheng Wei, so he was silent for a while, saying that he didn't need to ask for leave, and there would be no problems at work.

Meng Shan sighed softly, motioned for her to sit down, and then said: "Mr. Cheng's stall this time is not small, people in the industry are speculating that he should have offended the high-ranking and powerful people above this time, and people are now trying to put him to death." In any company, as long as the people at the top want to find faults, it is a breeze. What happened to him this time is not good. I've heard that he's already under investigation, and I'm afraid it's a mess in the company right now. In the company, not everyone is loyal, and the more chaotic it is, the easier it is to get into trouble. If you can have a rush reminder, it's better to remind the reminder. As long as there is nothing wrong outside, Mr. Cheng is safe inside. ”

That's what she said from the bottom of her heart. Zhou He's heart was heavily depressed, and he nodded and thanked Meng Shan.

Although she had already said that she didn't need to take a vacation, Meng Shan still gave her two days off. Zhou Ji did not shirk, and after explaining what was at hand, he left the company.

Although Cheng Wei's company moved to Kyoto, she has never been to it once. Standing on the side of the road for a while, she flagged down a taxi.

His company is located in a bustling downtown area, and because of an accident, an entire building is deserted. But there were still staff members coming in and out.

Zhou He was completely unfamiliar, and after getting off the bus, he stood at the door for a while, took out his mobile phone and called Lao Cao. Ask Lao Cao if he is here in Kyoto.

Lao Cao was here yesterday, but he had already returned to Yucheng early this morning to run errands. She asked.

The things around Cheng Wei, no one knows better than Li. Zhou He even thinks that as long as Li Jing is there, even if Cheng Wei is not there, the overall situation will still be stable.

Lao Cao hesitated slightly, and said that Li was there, but I was afraid that he was very busy now and should not be able to come to see her.

Yes, something happened to Cheng Wei, and it is impossible for him to be idle now.

Zhou He then said that she had time, and she would wait for him at the café opposite their company. He'll just come back when he's done.

Lao Cao responded and said that he would tell Li Jing. also sent Zhou He the number of Li Jing in Kyoto, so that she could contact him directly. Make an appointment with him, you can't wait all the time.

Zhou Heying came down and saw the phone call he sent, but he didn't call Li Jing, ordered a cup of coffee and sat by the window of the café.

She sat down almost in the evening, and Li actually came at seven o'clock in the evening, and her face was full of exhaustion. He sat down opposite Zhou He, called the waiter to order a cup of coffee and drank it, then looked at Zhou He and asked, "I don't know what happened to Miss Zhou?"

Perhaps too tired, his voice was slightly hoarse. And there is no usual indifference.

Zhou He was silent for a moment and said, "Have you seen Mr. Cheng after he was investigated?"

Li actually drank half a cup of coffee and said, "No, the lawyer has seen it." Mr. Cheng is fine for the time being, Miss Zhou doesn't have to worry. ”

Zhou He fell silent and did not speak.

She knew that Li was busy, so she didn't stay silent for long before asking, "Didn't you Cheng always offend anyone?"

If it wasn't for offending someone, how could something like this happen when you moved to Kyoto?

Li didn't answer at this time, drank a cup of coffee, and then said lightly: "Mr. Cheng, Miss Zhou, don't worry." It's also inconvenient for me to tell Miss Zhou, so let's ask him directly if Miss Zhou wants to ask anything after Mr. Cheng comes out. ”

His mouth has always been strict, and if he doesn't want to say something, no one will say it reluctantly. Zhou He didn't ask any more questions.

Li didn't stay long, and quickly got up to check out. At this time, he didn't forget to send Zhou He back, but Zhou He refused to leave.

As he was about to get into the car, she stopped him again and asked, "When will he come out?"

Li Jing's body stiffened slightly, pushed the glasses on the bridge of his nose, and said, "It's not clear, the lawyer is trying to figure out a way." It shouldn't be long. ”

Zhou He nodded and told her what Meng Shan said. Li was already an old fritter, what Meng Shan could think of, where could he not think of it, nodded perfunctorily, asked Zhou He to thank Meng Shan, and soon drove away.

Zhou He watched his car disappear on the road, and for a moment he didn't know where to go, so he sat down next to the bus stop. Look at the cars passing by the roadside. There was a drizzle in the sky, and she looked up and closed her eyes slightly.

Zhou He originally thought that Cheng Wei was already under investigation. This matter will not continue to ferment, who knows that the next day, the newspaper began to rampantly start to doxx the background of Cheng Wei.

Some newspapers said that Cheng Wei was born in a high-ranking family. And some newspapers said that he was involved in gangsters, and all the funds were from unknown sources.

Of course, this kind of news is all in small newspapers. I think I want to rub the heat.

Although Zhou He's heart was clear, he still couldn't sit still. Plus she has nothing to do after taking leave, and her whole person is a mess. I don't know why, she suddenly remembered that when she was in the house in Yucheng, Cheng Wei was suspected of talking with Li Peiyuan in the study.

Once she thought about it, she couldn't stop. immediately changed his clothes and took a taxi to the Li family's old house.

She was in a hurry and didn't call Li Peiyuan, but when she arrived, she realized that Li Peiyuan was not at home, and she went out early this morning after receiving a phone call.

Zhou He was anxious, and she didn't drink the tea she poured her tea, so she took out her mobile phone and dialed Li Peiyuan's number. But he didn't know what he was doing, and his phone was turned off all the time. She had to wait in the old mansion.

She had no appetite, and her aunt made lunch for her to eat, and she only ate a few bites.

When Li Peiyuan came back, it was already afternoon, and his legs were still limping. There was some tiredness on his face. He wasn't surprised to see Zhou He here, so he asked her to go to the study and sit first, saying that he would go and change his clothes and come down.

Zhou He nodded and said yes and went to the study. She sat quietly, but she was restless, and looked at the door from time to time.

Li Peiyuan's movements were very fast, and he came down in less than five minutes. He changed into lounge clothes, but the tiredness on his eyebrows still didn't go away.

Zhou He didn't know how to speak, he was silent for a moment, and still asked, "Uncle, I want to ask about Cheng Wei's company." ”

Cheng Wei is already under investigation, and although Li Peiyuan has been suspended, it is much easier than her to find out the news.

Li Peiyuan drank the water in the cup, didn't speak for a while, and after a while, he said, "He won't have anything to do for the time being, don't worry." ”

He didn't say anything specific.

Zhou He nodded and asked, "Who did he offend from time to time?"

Li Peiyuan took out a cigarette and smoked it, and was silent for a long time. After a long while, he said, "Ahe, don't get involved in his affairs." He will have a sense of proportion. There are many things that I am not convenient to disclose, and if he is willing to tell you in the future, let him tell you personally. ”

As soon as he said that, Zhou He remembered the news in today's newspaper.

Her heart tightened, she looked up at Li Peiyuan, and said in an astringent voice: "Uncle, what you say in the newspapers is not all nonsense, right?"

Li Peiyuan spat out the smoke ring, didn't answer her, and remained silent. After five or six minutes, he said with difficulty: "Ah He, Cheng Wei should never have told you anything about him." You should be able to guess some of his things. What the newspaper said is indeed not groundless. ”
