Ji Ran opened the lock on the drawer almost quickly, and with the sound of the lock cylinder being unscrewed, she opened the drawer a little nervously.

The drawer was full of documents, almost the same thickness as before, and Ji Ran was slightly relieved when he saw this.

It seems that I am thinking too much.

Now that the drawers were open, she took the opportunity to look through the documents inside.

It was only when she opened the third file bag that she realized something was wrong.

There are only three words on this document bag - "Ji Kaiyu", which contains clues and details about Gao Yecheng collected during this time, and they are all information that Ji Ran carefully collected.

And now, the thickness of that paper bag has evaporated a lot out of thin air, and when you touch the thin layer, you can know from the feeling in your hand that there is not much left.

Ji Ran's heart jumped, and he almost tore open the file bag. The heart reached out like a drum and went in, and found that it was empty. She said in disbelief that the bag was in front of her, and she leaned into the open mouth of the bag and looked into it carefully, looked at every corner carefully, and put it down in a dejected manner.

All the information she had spent a lot of time gathering was now gone.

How so!

She leaned on the table with her head in her hands, her mind was now in chaos, and suddenly as if she remembered something, she suddenly got up from the chair, took three steps and walked towards Ji Kaiyu's room, which had been dusty for a long time, her movements were too hurried, and she even stumbled twice.

She hurriedly took the key from her hanging bag and opened the door with a few clicks.

As soon as she stepped inside, she felt that something was wrong.

Although the room was furnished as usual, Ji Ran still keenly felt that someone had walked into this dusty place for a long time.

The photo frame on the cabinet had traces of being moved, and the sheets had some creases pressed out by the sitting position, Ji Ran took a deep breath, walked to the cabinet where some Ji Kayu's old things were placed, and opened the cabinet door with a nervous and panicked face.

When the obvious traces of turning appeared in front of Ji Ran's eyes, her face turned a lot paler in an instant.

When I got here, I didn't understand what was going on, then it wasn't Ji Ran.

A room that no one else has entered for so many years, coupled with Bai Xingchen's sudden appearance these days, think back to Bai Xingchen's work, his relationship with Gao Yecheng's subordinates, and some of the faint dissatisfaction with Gao Yecheng that he revealed when he got along with him before.

Everything is obvious.

She dialed Bai Xingchen's phone again, but the busy tones made her heart fall into an ice cellar, a little colder than when she found Bai Xingchen leaving before.

It's really ironic, in order to help the boss destroy the evidence, he deliberately approached himself, but he was so easily moved, really, so ironic.

Ji Ran smiled bitterly, gently returned the things that had been moved back to their original places, and closed the door.

Ji Ran's heart is now full of sorrow and helplessness for himself.

She was sad that she couldn't see clearly, and she had no choice but to give her liking like that.

This sadness and helplessness officially burned into anger as she stepped into the room again, looking at the empty folder in the drawer.

All this that Bai Xingchen took away was her hard work in the past few months, suppressing her hatred and anger, lowering her self-esteem, and doing things that she never disdained, in exchange for some evidence.

Even if this evidence does not seem to be able to shake Gao Ye now, it is also a stepping stone for her to knock on the truth. Ji Ran held his mobile phone and stared at Bai Xingchen's phone, his eyes seemed to be about to burn through the screen.

Bai Xingchen, don't show up again, otherwise, I'm afraid that I really can't help it, and I will be desperate to make you regret what you did today.

***

"Brother Chen, you're finally back. ”

As soon as Bai Xingchen stepped into the door, someone came over from the corner with a nervous face.

"Don't you know, I can't contact you recently, Mr. Gao has become nervous, and even his mood has deteriorated a lot. Without you, the brothers have been doing things carefully lately. ”

He has been with Bai Xingchen for so long, and he has never seen the other party disappear for a few days in a row, and at first he thought it was just an accident, after all, in this job, there will be a lot of extraneous things from time to time, so there was no noise at that time.

It's only been three days, Bai Xingchen still hasn't appeared, and now, their brothers below can't help but get nervous, after all, in such a big house, there are only three or four people who can have a status to speak, among which Bai Xingchen can be said to be the most valued figure, so they have also been stained with a lot of light.

It's just that the tree is a big wind, Bai Xingchen has not returned for a long time, and gradually, the rumors and rumors have begun to show some signs, and many small shrimps who are following others are secretly talking about whether Bai Xingchen betrayed Mr. Gao and fled without permission.

Although the words of the people below are not to be feared, the three of them have been an unchanging phenomenon since ancient times, so they didn't take these words to heart at first, but when Gao Yecheng also began to show some displeasure for Bai Xingchen, they began to get nervous, and even recently even clamped their tails.

Now seeing Bai Xingchen back, it's like the reincarnation of a god and a fairy descending to earth.

Bai Xingchen took a step back slightly, and distanced himself from his overly enthusiastic subordinates, and his tone was light:

"I see, is Mr. Gao here now?"

"Mr. Gao just went out with someone, just half an hour ago, Brother Chen, you are really unlucky, if you come back half a ...... early"

"Alright. Bai Xingchen interrupted him with a wave of his hand: "Go and do something." ”

***

Gao Yecheng's negotiation today was not very smooth, he stared at the bidding for a long time, and he couldn't get down for a long time, and when he came back, there was a rare smile on his face, and his eyes were cold and sharp.

He walked with the secretary about tomorrow's arrangement, a few minutes away, in a variety of work discussions passed quickly, and when he arrived in front of the office, he pushed open the door and saw the figure standing straight against the wall with his head hanging down, his eyes narrowed, and the gloomy owl in his eyes flashed.

"You go down first. ”

He waved to the secretary next to him, who nodded obediently and retreated to the other end of the hallway.

Gao Yecheng leisurely put his hands behind his back, glanced at Bai Xingchen, and walked in.

From the door to the desk, there were only a dozen cloths, but Gao Yecheng slowly circled, looked at the collection here, flipped through the books there, and walked towards the desk step by step until he felt tired of standing.

"The stars are finally willing to come back?"

He picked up the tea that Bai Xingchen had already made, and slowly blew along the lid of the cup before he said in a cold tone.

"There were some delays. ”

"I'm afraid it's not because of something, but because of someone. ”

Gao Yecheng didn't raise his eyes, so he continued to ask.

Bai Xingchen was not in a hurry, although he knew that Gao Yecheng trusted him on the surface, but in fact he was still very defensive, but he was also sure that he could get rid of the other party's surveillance. It is also certain that in the days when he gets along with Ji Ran in the past few days, Gao Yecheng will not know a bit.

"Someone did stumble, and in case you were dug up, you only hid for a few days. ”

"What's wrong?"

Gao Yecheng held the teacup lid for a moment, and raised his eyebrows with some confusion. Although he was skeptical of Bai Xingchen's words, after so many years, most of them relied on caution, and when he heard what Bai Xingchen said that might be threatening, he still subconsciously asked.

Bai Xingchen said the story he had just made up like a stream, his tone was as calm as usual, Gao Yecheng listened and looked at his expression carefully, seeing that the other party did not have a trace of fluctuation, and even looked directly into his eyes without fear, and actually faintly believed his words in his heart.

"So, it's hard work for you. ”

Gao Yecheng put down the cup, his tone had returned to his previous affinity, and his usual smile appeared on his face.

"It's my duty. ”

This kind of appearance of neither humility nor arrogance is the reason why Gao Yecheng has always admired him, and seeing that the depression in his heart is almost dredged, Gao Yecheng smiled happily.

"Don't say that, all these years, thanks to you. Next time there is such a dangerous thing, bring more people, in case you encounter any danger again, it can also help you block. ”

Under the kind smile, the words spit out were so emotionless, it seemed that in his heart, the people under him were just a tool, which could be appropriated anytime and anywhere.

Bai Xingchen has been accustomed to Gao Yecheng's style for so many years, but when he heard such words again at this moment, a trace of anger suddenly appeared in his heart. When Bai Xingchen left Ji Ran and took away all the information about Ji Kaiyu and Gao Yecheng, he once turned to the events she left behind that he was powerless to change, he knew Ji Ran's sadness, but in fact, he couldn't really empathize, and now, he suddenly understood that powerless anger.

It was only now that he felt that in the past few days of getting along, his heart, which had been calm, began to slowly have some of the blood that gradually disappeared after rapid growth.

Bai Xingchen shook his head a little, and the emotions in his heart were churning, until he heard Gao Yecheng call his name, he tested the quick reflexes and inertia honed over the years, and successfully took over the other party's question.

The two quickly finished talking, Gao Yecheng waved his hand to let Bai Xingchen go back to rest, watching his back disappear at the door, and fell into deep thought. He is a suspicious person, even if someone like Bai Xingchen has stayed by his side for a few years, there is no way for him to fully trust him.

disappeared without any sound and suddenly appeared, which can't help but make people feel a little inexplicably bad premonition.

He thought as the secretary pushed open the door and walked in.

Gao Yecheng leaned on the back of the chair, watched the other party walk in, and spoke:

"From today onwards, I followed him step by step, and I didn't want to see anyone disappear right under my nose again. ”
