Chapter 70: The Secret Past
In recent days, the Huo Group has noticed that when Huo Shao comes to the company every day, the air pressure around him is very low. In the past few days, when the leaders of several ongoing projects reported on their work, they all saw Huo Chiguan distracted.
Such a situation has never appeared in Huo Chiguan, and for a while, rumors spread in the company.
Because the engagement banquet had already spread, many people knew that Huo Chiguan had a fiancΓ©e, so they speculated that he was trapped in love.
Rumors have always spread quickly, but in a few days, there have been many speculations throughout the company.
As Huo Chiguan's confidant, Lu Tezhu had heard a little about these rumors, but every time he heard them, he could only shake his head helplessly.
He knew very well that Huo Chiguan's absent-mindedness and frequent distraction during this period of time were indeed related to Lin Yuxue, but if it was more precise, it was because of Lin Yuxue's mother, Mei Shuangdan.
In just three days after the last visit, Yan Cheng appeared in Huo Chiguan's office twice, and after leaving for the second time, Huo Chiguan directly asked Lu Teh to push away all the arrangements for the whole afternoon and evening, and stayed in the office alone for an afternoon, not allowing anyone to go in and disturb him.
Lu Tezhu, who had been by Huo Chiguan's side for many years, subconsciously felt that Huo Chiguan had encountered a problem.
In fact, he did have a problem.
In Yan Cheng's investigation, Zhang Yi, who had worked part-time at Shengli Car Dealership for a month and a half, was Zhang Tao. And the bank account where Fang Qiaoan remitted the money was actually used by Zhang Tao.
Yan Cheng's investigation of things has always been detailed, and soon the beginning and end of the matter were connected according to all the clues found.
Zhang Tao is not from City A, but from City C, and coincidentally, Fang Qiaoan and Lin Wei are also from City C.
Zhang Tao and Fang Qiaoan knew each other when they were young, and they didn't grow up together until they got married, and they didn't meet again in City A. At that time, Fang Qiaoan was Lin Wei's mistress outside, and Zhang Tao was a teacher in City A No. 1 Middle School.
Although he seems to be living happily ever after, Zhang Tao is so strong that he has never told anyone that his wife has suffered from liver cancer and lives in pain at home all day long.
After learning that a nursing home abroad had the technology to reduce the pain of patients as much as possible during the treatment process, Zhang Tao always wanted to find an opportunity to send his wife for treatment, but even if his salary was substantial, he could never afford the long-term expenses. But in just over a month, he spent all his family's savings.
It can be seen that his wife's pain has indeed been greatly reduced, Zhang Tao is unwilling to let his wife bear the previous pain again, so he tries every means to open up sources and reduce expenses, hoping to give his wife more hope.
Fang Qiaoan was brewing a plan to take the position at that time, and because he didn't want to wait for Mei Shuangdan's condition to improve or deteriorate, he decided to strike first. She inadvertently learned about Zhang Tao's situation, so she had a poisonous plan in her heart, wanting Zhang Tao to destroy the car that Mei Shuangshan usually drives, so that Mei Shuangshan will become a patient who can't get out of bed. As long as Mei Shuangshan can't move freely, she and Lin Wei's seizure of power and darkness Chen Cang will have a chance.
But what no one expected was that the car accident directly took Mei Shuangdan's life.
Although Fang Qiaoan was surprised and uneasy, he soon immersed himself in the psychology of becoming a wealthy man, and no longer had any guilt and repentance.
Yan Cheng found the entry procedures of the part-time employee under the pseudonym "Zhang Yi" in the personnel department of Shengli Automobile Dealership, and also found the video tape of a camera outside the door of the employee's locker room, and handed it to Huo Chiguan. Huo Chiguan and Zhang Tao have known each other for many years, and with only dozens of words, they can almost guess that this formality form was written by Zhang Tao.
And that videotape also contains a clip of Zhang Tao entering the locker room before he could put on a peaked cap.
Zhang Tao is Zhang Yi, and Zhang Yi is Zhang Tao, which is already an established fact.
Knowing this fact, Huo Chiguan's mood couldn't calm down for a long time, and he only felt that his thoughts were extremely messy.
He never imagined that the result of his running for Lin Yuxue's heart knot turned out to be the result of his mentor or a murderer.
Such a result, let alone Lin Yuxue, even he can't recognize and accept it.
The registration form and the videotape with Zhang Tao's handwriting, as well as a few photos taken from the video screen, lay quietly in the drawer of Huo Chiguan's office, and for two whole days, Huo Chiguan did not open the drawer, as if to deceive himself into believing that as long as he did not see it, Zhang Tao had nothing to do with the matter.
How could he tell Lin Yuxue that the teacher they had just visited together last week was the one who personally sent Mei Shuang Shan to a dead end?
After sitting quietly in the office until dark, Huo Chiguan gradually came back to his senses and realized that today was the last working day of the week, and it was time for him to go home.
Walking to the door of the office, Huo Chiguan suddenly stopped and looked back at his desk. After a long time, he turned back, quickly took out the contents of the drawer, and walked out briskly.
Back at the villa, Huo Chiguan stood in the courtyard and looked up, and saw that the lights in the master bedroom had been turned on, so he lowered his head and walked in.
Huo Chiguan first went to the study and put the things in a brown paper bag for safekeeping, and then returned to the bedroom door and knocked on the door gently.
"You're back!" Seeing Huo Chiguan who pushed the door in, Lin Yuxue, who was lying on the bed reading a book, raised her head and said with a smile.
"Well, why haven't you slept yet?" Huo Chiguan took off his coat and hung it on the coat rack, loosening his tie while reaching out to pull Lin Yuxue's skirt, as if he was very dissatisfied with her wearing such a short skirt.
Lin Yuxue's gaze returned to the book in front of her, and she didn't raise her head and said, "You haven't come back for dinner for the past few days, and it's boring for me to stay alone, so I'm just waiting for you to come back." β
Hearing this, Huo Chiguan's expression froze, and then he changed the topic: "What book are you reading?" β
Lin Yuxue shook the cover of the book in front of Huo Chiguan: "Interpretation of the criminal law." β
Her biggest goal recently was to send Lin Wei and Fang Qiaoan to prison, but after talking to Zhang Wen last time, she realized that she was almost legally illiterate. In order to better understand what this matter was all about, she decided to study hard.
Huo Chiguan couldn't help but smile dumbly: "Did Lawyer Zhang recommend you to watch it?" β
"Not really." Lin Yuxue shook her head, then simply put the book on the bed, turned her head to support her face, and raised her eyes to look at Huo Chiguan.
She had already showered, was dressed in pale pink pajamas, and her long hair was like seaweed, with a few strands hanging over her shoulders. In the warm yellow light, her already brilliant features are like a freshly polished diamond, even if there is no dazzling light after fine cutting, but it is still bright and dazzling.
Huo Chi moved in concern, leaned towards Lin Yuxue, and left a kiss on her red lips.
Lin Yuxue's face flushed, and she stretched out her hand to push him: "It's late, go wash up." β
Huo Chiguan took the opportunity to widen the distance between him and her, and squinted his eyes slightly: "Obey, wife." β
Huo Chiguan's deliberately cute and pleasing appearance caused Lin Yuxue to giggle, and the atmosphere in the room suddenly became cheerful. Huo Chiguan felt that for a few days, the gloom accumulated in his heart seemed to have been swept away.
After Huo Chi was locked in the bathroom, Lin Yuxue continued to look at the interpretation of the criminal law in her hand, and suddenly wanted to take out the evidence that Huo Chi gave her last time for comparison.
Since she wanted to bring it, Lin Yuxue didn't hesitate, and after jumping off the bed, she opened the door and walked towards the study. The last time Huo Chiguan gave her the evidence, since she learned from Zhang Wen that it was not enough, she put it back in the study.
But this time, when she opened the drawer, she unexpectedly found two identical brown paper bags.
"Huh?" Lin Yuxue frowned suspiciously, picked up one of the paper bags, flipped it up and down, and found that there was no mark on the bag.
Lin Yuxue picked up another paper bag, which was also unmarked?
Which one exactly?
After identifying it to no avail, Lin Yuxue simply put the two kraft paper bags on the table.
Or just open both of them and put the other back.
Thinking like this, Lin Yuxue reached out and picked up the first brown paper bag, bypassing the rope behind her.
Unexpectedly, what fell out of the kraft paper bag was not the documents and photos I saw last time, but a box of videotapes, a piece of paper, and a few photos.
Seeing that it was an unfamiliar thing, Lin Yuxue hurriedly picked up the things, and was about to put all the things back into the brown paper bag, but her eyes were suddenly attracted by the photo in her hand.
The photo is the same as the video surveillance of Lin Wei she watched last time, but the background is in a place where the "Victory Car Dealer Staff Locker Room" is pasted, and the person holding a hat on his head in the photo looks very familiar.
This person was none other than Teacher Zhang, whom she had just met last week.
Suddenly, Lin Yuxue's eyes flashed the work permit of the victory trip that she saw last time on the storage shelf of Teacher Zhang's house.
