Chapter 125: The Truth
Since eating at the Jiangdu Hotel that night, Lu Jisheng has been like a different person.
He stopped his decadent drinking, worked longer days, and demanded almost harsh demands on the company.
He worked like a madman, numbing himself with fast-paced and never-ending work. People have also become colder and less impersonal than before.
For this reason, Xi Xiangnan took the opportunity to complain to Du Juan as soon as it was time to eat: "Sister, do you say that Lu always should give me some reward?" With the salary of an intern, I do more tiring work than a full-time employee. ”
"Alright, let's eat yours. That's how I came back then. Cuckoo comforted.
Xi Xiangnan's gossip soul was ignited by her words again: "Sister, you also worked as an intern?" I thought you were so good that you were hired directly! Tell me about the same when you first joined the company, Mr. Lu? ”
"Well......" cuckoo thought for a moment, "he worked hard back then, but he didn't have such a desperate job as he does now." I'll answer the phone in a moment. ”
It was the girl at the front desk who called, and her voice was a little anxious: "Sister Du Juan, what should I do if there is a little girl who wants to see Mr. Lu at the front desk now?" I don't dare to go to Mr. Lu, come and save me! ”
In the past few days, the whole company knows that Lu Jisheng is a workaholic and his temper is becoming more and more irritable, and no one dares to provoke him at this juncture.
"Okay, don't worry, I'll be over in a moment." Du Juan comforted the little girl at the front desk a few words, and after hanging up the phone, she quickly finished eating the rest of the food on the plate.
"What's the matter?" Xi asked to the south.
"A little girl came to the front desk and said that she was looking for Mr. Lu, let me go over and have a look."
"Little girl?" Ma Ye big news, Xi Xiangnan also quickly solved the food on the plate, and said, "Then I'll go with you." ”
———————————
"Oh, I told you that I am a friend of Mr. Lu's younger brother, I know him, can you just help me make a call?" Xue Ziyin stood at the front desk in a hurry.
"Miss, I'm sorry, Mr. Lu is really busy now and doesn't have time..."
"What's going on?" The cuckoo took the seat to the south, and it was late.
"Sister Cuckoo, you're here." The little girl at the front desk seemed to have found a savior, so she almost went up to hug the cuckoo. She hurriedly threw out this hot potato and said to Xue Ziyin: "This sister is our secretary of President Lu, you have something to tell her." ”
"Hello, my name is Cuckoo. If it's convenient, let's talk to the reception room over there. ”
"Uh......" Xue Ziyin hesitated, "I want to tell Mr. Lu directly, I really have something." ”
"I'm sorry, Mr. Lu is inconvenient to meet guests now, you should come with me."
“…… Okay, I'll tell you separately. ”
——————————
It wasn't until half past six in the afternoon that Lu Jisheng was busy with all the tasks in hand, but he didn't stop for a moment, and directly asked Du Juan to come over with what he would prepare tomorrow.
Du Juan handed the sorted documents to Lu Jisheng, and after a cursory glance, he nodded: "Hmm." ”
Du Juan saw that he was fully engaged in his work, and hesitated for a while before speaking: "Mr. Lu, there is also a newspaper here, please take a look." ”
This is a newspaper published by a little-known newspaper.
"Hmm." Lu Jisheng took the newspaper and went straight to the economic page.
"Not here." The cuckoo pointed to a very inconspicuous place in the lower right corner of the life page.
It was a news released by the police: [The prisoner in the murder of his wife and the body in N City has been arrested by the police, and the case is being further investigated. 】
"What is this?" Lu Jisheng obviously didn't want to waste time and brain cells in these places, "Useful? ”
"At noon today, a young lady named Xue Ziyin wanted to look for you, but you were busy at that time, so I came forward on your behalf. The young lady gave me this newspaper and told me that the murderer was named Chen Xuefeng. ”
"What did you say?!" Lu Jisheng slapped the newspaper on the table and looked extremely shocked.
In contrast, Du Juan was calmer, after all, she had spent an afternoon digesting, and it was not until her free time in the evening that she told Lu Jisheng: "Yes, it is indeed him, I have verified." I looked up information about this person on the Internet, but it was very strange that it was such a major case, but there were very few well-known media reports, only some tabloids with low traffic and few people read reported about it. ”
“…… There are many people named Chen Xuefeng in this world, maybe it's just the same name. And how did Xue Ziyin know about this? What does this have to do with her? ”
Lu Jisheng remembered very clearly that Zhao Munian had reported to him about Chen Xuefeng's situation before, and everything was normal.
Although, after Jingsheng left him, he directly transferred Zhao Munian to do other work.
Du Juan's expression was a little complicated: "That Miss Xue didn't reveal to me how she found out, but...... She said she was sure that the man named Chen Xuefeng was Jingsheng's father. ”
"Huh. Joke. Lu Jisheng's face was full of disbelief, "I once personally sent someone to check on this Chen Xuefeng, if he committed a crime," he paused suddenly in the middle of his words, as if he had thought of something.
"I think the same as you, the reason why these well-known media outlets have not reported this case must be because someone is deliberately covering it up and not wanting you to see it, then this person is also very likely to buy off your subordinates."
"......" Lu Jisheng's meticulous expression showed obvious panic.
Du Juan continued: "Although, I don't know exactly what happened between you and Miss Chen, but judging from your reaction, it is obvious that there is no such thing as a murder case. Between you...... Maybe there was some misunderstanding. ”
Suddenly, Lu Jisheng stood up and rushed out of the office without even having time to take his coat.
——————————
At half past eleven in the evening, Jing Sheng, who was finally able to rest from work, walked out of the back door of the hotel with his bicycle pushed.
She looked up at the starry sky, closing her eyes as she walked and listening to the cicadas that seemed to be close to her ears. Fortunately, it's summer, and there are a lot of people who come out to play at night, so walking at night is not too scary.
She pushed the cart in the direction of the intersection.
"Jingsheng." A familiar voice came from the side of the road.
Lu Jisheng leaned against the car door and stood parallel to her, with a pile of cigarette butts at his feet.
Jing Sheng froze directly in place like that, and even the foot that was about to leave the ground maintained the same movement as a second ago, and did not move.
Lu Jisheng stepped on the half-smoked cigarette and walked in the direction of Jingsheng step by step.
He stopped a step away from Jingsheng, his eyes glowing softly, and said to her, "Off work?" ”
Jing Sheng's hand on the handlebar clenched a little, but he didn't speak.
"Put your bike back in the hotel parking lot, take my car, and I'll take you back." Lu Jisheng stepped forward and stretched out his hand, just as he was about to touch Jingsheng's shoulder-
She jumped on her bike and rode away as fast as she could.
"Hey!" When Lu Jisheng reacted and wanted to reach out to stop it, it was too late, Jingsheng kicked fast on both legs, and disappeared at the intersection with a turn.
Lu Jisheng quickly returned to the car, and directly started the gear without wearing a seat belt, and stepped on the accelerator to the bottom.
After a sharp turn, he successfully found Jingsheng's figure and honked the horn.
Jing Sheng, who had thought he had escaped successfully, slowed down his sore legs, and when he heard someone honking his horn behind him, he turned his head to look.
Oops, it's going to be caught up.
She picked up speed again in a panic, and the green light in front of her turned red in three seconds. She made up her mind in an instant and crossed the stop line as fast as she could.
Di ——— Di Di ———
A piercing whistle sounded at his side with bright high beams.
She couldn't see clearly in front of her by the lights, and the rapid honking of the horn startled her, and her feet stopped moving.
Everything happened too fast, and when Jing Sheng reacted, she found that her car had passed the intersection with the help of extremely fast inertia.
The car that had almost hit him was still parked at the zebra crossing, with a wheel print behind it that braked sharply.
Lu Jisheng also stopped at a very close distance, holding the steering wheel in shock.
It was just a little bit before the car was about to crash into her...... Just a little bit.
"Hey! I didn't see the traffic light! I don't have long eyes, I'm looking for death! The driver with the high beams on got out of the car and scolded Jingsheng and Lu Jisheng's car, blushing as if he was drunk.
Seeing that Lu Jisheng was still chasing after him, Jingsheng quickly said sorry to the driver twice and rode away.
Lu Jisheng ignored the driver, his eyes were focused on Jingsheng, and after she started riding again, he also started the car and chased after her.
Jingsheng rode all the way to a residential area and parked his car under a building.
Lu Jisheng chased after him, and Jingsheng saw that he had found a parking space and parked the car, and ran towards him.
But the lock on his hand has never been able to be fastened.
Seeing that Lu Jisheng was about to arrive in front of him, Jingsheng directly threw away the lock and ran upstairs.
"Don't run! Look at the road! Lu Jisheng ran upstairs with her.
Jingsheng's rented room was on the fourth floor, and she quickly opened the door with the key and hid inside.
With a bang, the closed iron door cut off the world of the two.
Lu Jisheng clenched his fist and smashed it against the wall, just a second, just a second away from him grabbing her.
He rang Jingsheng's doorbell, and his voice was gentle: "It's me, open the door, I have something to ask you." ”
However, there was no response from inside.
Lu Jisheng tried several more times, but there was no movement inside, and even through the cat's eye, he could see that the light in the door was not even turned on, and it was pitch black.
Just when Lu Jisheng closed his eyes against the door and regretted it, the opposite door opened.
"Shengsheng, you come back from work...... Huh? ”
It was a familiar and warm female voice. After seeing her face, Lu Jisheng recalled that it was the one who disappeared for a long time to go on his honeymoon before, Jingsheng's college best friend, Fang Xiaolu.
Then a man's voice came from behind Fang Xiaolu: "Wife, why are you standing still?" ”
It's Jian Xichen.
