Chapter 447: Curious
Du Feng’s expression dropped. However, when he took another look, the video returned to normal as if he had imagined everything. Was it because he was too nervous?
Du Feng swallowed and shut down the laptop. He worked quickly, afraid of things jumping out of the screen. Then, he carried his bag and left with the group.
After leaving the room, Jiang Cheng had Weiwei disperse the rest. Then, Jiang Cheng told them not to return unless necessary. The summoned workers were confused. They didn’t know Jiang Cheng’s identity or what he was doing there. However, Weiwei followed his order. She told the others to return to their post. Even though Nan Huaili was gone, with the support of the other managers, the company was still working.
“Mr. Jiang.” Weiwei asked, “Are we going to CEO Nan’s office now?”
“Yes.” Jiang Cheng nodded.
“Then, co with . We’ll go from here.” Weiwei led them to the lobby where the elevator was. There were three of them. Jiang Cheng saw the elevators and turned to Weiwei. “Is it far? If it’s not far, we can walk there.”
Weiwei looked awkward. “It’s quite far. Mr. Jiang, CEO Nan’s office is on the 17th floor.” Jiang Cheng noticed that when Weiwei said that, her feet moved. She was wearing a pair of black high heels.
Jiang Cheng thought about it and nodded. “I apologise.” Soon, the elevator arrived. The door opened. The booth was empty and very clean. Just as Weiwei was about to enter, she heard a dull groan from behind her.
“Mr. Jiang.” Du Feng was flustered when he saw Jiang Cheng grasp his chest with a grimace. “What’s wrong?”
“Mr. Jiang.” Weiwei hurried back. “Are you alright?”
When he saw the elevator closing from the corner of his eye, Jiang Cheng looked relieved and apologetic. “Maybe… It’s my stomach. I haven’t been eating well recently.” Then, Jiang Cheng realised sothing. His hand that covered his chest silently moved down to his stomach. Lin Wan ‘Er glanced at him and curled up her lips.
Then, the other elevator arrived. The door opened. The booth contained a few people. They looked like employees. So of them had work IDs around their necks. “Sister Wei.” One of the won smiled at Weiwei. The woman was rather large and short. She looked very approachable. It looked like she knew Weiwei. After all, this skyscraper was ho to many companies. Nan Huali’s company was the biggest. Weiwei responded to the woman. Jiang Cheng entered the elevator. However, he soon noticed everyone was looking behind him, especially the guys.
He knew that they were looking at Lin Wan ‘Er, the woman who couldn’t be outshone. There were often big clients paying money to get their help, but most of the ti, they just wanted to et Lin Wan ‘Er. They wanted her resources, but also her. However, Jiang Cheng knew they were all dreaming.
The elevator gradually moved up. Jiang Cheng felt a gentle touch on his arm. Jiang Cheng didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. He knew Lin Wan ‘Er was in the mood to play with him.
“What are you doing?” He asked sternly.
“Headache.” Lin Wan ‘Er controlled her volu perfectly. Her tone contained a natural charm.
“Who told you to sleep so late?” Jiang Cheng acted forcefully, like he was unviolable around Lin Wan ‘Er.
“It was your fault for coming back so late.” Lin Wan ‘Er sounded wounded and weak. “I couldn’t sleep alone because I was afraid of the dark.”
Jiang Cheng pretended to struggle, but Lin Wan ‘Er grabbed him tighter. Then, he said impatiently, “Fine. All you know is to bother . How annoying.” Then, Jiang Cheng felt several lasers shooting at him, as if they wanted to pierce him. When the elevator reached the 17th floor, and they walked out, Jiang Cheng was impressed because the deathly look still followed him until the elevator door closed.
Weiwei didn’t react much. Through her feminine instinct, she knew that the two shared an unusual relationship. As a secretary, she also understood the benefits of keeping her mouth shut.
However, Du Feng was not as astute. He glanced at Jiang Cheng and Lin Wan ‘Er. Images appeared in his mind.
With Weiwei as the guide, they soon arrived at the corridor featured in the surveillance video. Nan Huaili’s office was on the right or the left in the video. There was a black door.
Weiwei took out the key and opened the door. After that, Lin Wan ‘Er let Jiang Cheng go. They maintained an interesting distance between them. It was clear that Weiwei was offended by this. After all, they were there to investigate CEO Nan’s disappearance. Why would they act like this? Wasn’t this a bit too disrespectful? Even though she knew that CEO Nan was probably dead…
The office was well-decorated. From how neat everything was, this didn’t look like a kidnapping. Jiang Cheng checked the windows. They hadn’t been damaged. Everything was normal.
There was a cute mug on the solid wood table. It was the one from the video. The present from Nan Jing to Nan Huaili.
They left, and Weiwei brought them to CEO Nan’s coffee machine. The machine was old but still usable. Du Feng was tasked with keeping ti. Jiang Cheng held the mug and retraced Nan Huaili’s steps that night.
Including the ti for the coffee to brew, it was about two and a half minutes. This was similar to the data provided by Du Feng.
Clearly, this was not possible for the sauntering Nan Huaili.
However, Jiang Cheng didn’t think this could be explained away with the nightmare. There were a few glaring problems.
