Chapter 3: Hatred

Standing downstairs in the unit, Cheng Hui's heart was full of mixed feelings. That happened last night, and she didn't even know how to face Director Lao Dai today. She didn't know if he knew about it, or if he was an accomplice himself.

She tossed and turned last night to ask for clarification today, but she knew that she didn't have any evidence, even if she rushed to Shi Qi'an to ask clearly? He has done such despicable things, and he can naturally push it cleanly.

Seeing that he was about to be late, Cheng Yu took a deep breath and entered the building.

Lao Dai hasn't come yet, Cheng Yi breathed a sigh of relief and was also worried in his heart. Since she entered the unit, Lao Dai pointed her like a master and a father, although it was strict, but also gave her a lot of help, although last night was terrible, but subconsciously, she still respected Lao Dai, and didn't want him to be an accomplice.

One morning, she was depressed, and at eleven o'clock, Lao Dai finally appeared in the office in a hurry. He was as usual, unusual. Not long after entering the office, I called a colleague in to arrange work.

Cheng Yi was the last to go in, and before he sat down, Lao Dai smiled apologetically at her and said, "I'm sorry Xiao Cheng, that group of people is too powerful, I drank too much last night, are you okay?" ”

The concern and apology on his face didn't seem to be fake, Cheng Yi was distracted for a moment, and she didn't come back to her senses until Lao Dai called her again, suppressed the churning emotions in her heart, and said that it was okay.

Lao Dai didn't notice her strange appearance, explained her work at hand, and let her go down.

Cheng Yu didn't return to his seat, and was in a daze in the bathroom.

She was full of humiliation, but she was extremely sad. Last night she had seen that in the face of power, people living at the bottom are like ants, and others can crush them to death without even using their hands. She can't even seek justice for herself, because she still has to live.

The end of the year is the busiest time, and Cheng Wei avoids the events of that night to the bottom of his heart, working and living as if nothing had happened. It was as if that night was nothing more than a nightmare.

Although she tried her best to forget, she tried her best to live like before. But both the mental state and the work attitude have slackened. It's often listless and can't get up.

On this day, the manuscript she handed in turned out to be the lowest mistake, and Lao Dai lost his temper and called her into the office and scolded her fiercely.

Then he threw things to her, saying that the old city was forcibly demolished by underworld forces, and asked her to understand the situation and strive to make an exclusive report.

Cheng Yu hurriedly responded, cleaned up and went out with his partner Lao Xu.

In the car, Lao Xu talked about the situation over there, and it was said that the water and electricity had been cut off, but because the compensation was too low, there were still many families who did not move, and it was so consumed.

Both of them thought about things a little simply, and when the car stopped in the old town, they found that the alleys that once crisscrossed were all surrounded by iron sheets. There is only one entrance and exit in the huge old town, and there are big men in security uniforms guarding the door.

Lao Xu tried to drive the car in, but was stopped at the door. Due to the construction here, no vehicles are allowed to enter except for the residents inside. Lao Xu hurriedly identified himself and said that they were reporters. Unexpectedly, the security guard's face changed greatly, and the baton in his hand waved vigorously, saying that he would not accept any interviews and let them leave immediately, otherwise don't blame them for being polite.

Several security guards around immediately surrounded him, and Lao Xu wanted to theorize, but was stopped by Cheng Xu. She knew that they had thought about it simply, and the heroes didn't suffer immediate losses, so they had to come back another day.

There was no gain at all from this trip, and Cheng Yi had to pay a business when he went back, so he called Lao Dai and told him about the situation here.

Lao Dai seemed to have expected it, and he was not surprised by their futility. I gave her a phone call and said that a lawyer was already following up on the matter, and asked her to see if she could get anything from there.

Cheng Yi immediately made that call. The people over there were polite, so they could go over now, saying that Shao Lu would be there this afternoon.

The law firm is located in the center of the city, where every inch of land is valuable, and it is one of the city's most famous law firms. The parking space was also extremely tight, and Lao Xu went around to find a vacant space.

After getting out of the car, the two walked to the elevator while talking. After walking a few steps, a group of people came to him, led by a young man in a suit and leather shoes, with a handsome face, eyebrows, and eyes.

Rao is parking lot was dimly lit, and Cheng Yu could recognize that face, and her body subconsciously tensed.

Lao Xu was chattering endlessly, and suddenly saw her next to her stop. Turning his head sideways, he shouted, "Xiao Cheng? ”

Cheng Hui's body stiffened and trembled uncontrollably slightly, and his fingers were clenched tightly. She didn't expect to see that man again.

The distance of more than a dozen steps, as if separated by an invisible wall. She wanted to rush forward and slap the man hard, but her feet seemed to be frozen, and she couldn't take a step.

Perhaps her hatred was too strong, and the man swept towards her as if he noticed it. I don't know if he recognized her, but he just glanced at her and withdrew his gaze, surrounded by people, and walked to the elevator first, and soon entered the elevator.

But in just a few seconds, Cheng Hui's mind experienced an unprecedented fierce struggle. She hated herself, hated herself for not being decisive enough, hated herself for not having the courage to rush forward.
