Chapter 304: Investigation-I

Zi Gong after Zhu Yi Nian had left quickly told the employee to throw salt so his bad luck wouldn't stay at their building any longer.

Xiao Yun meanwhile, drank the tea Chuan Huan Jing brew and looked up to find Chuan Huan Jing having a dark expression.

"Boss, I-"

"If you are about to apologize, don't do it." Xiao Yun interjected before he was able to continue on his words. Chuan Huan Jing wasn't the person who should apologize, he trusted a person and trusting someone wasn't a sin and she knew that Chuan Huan Jing apologized due to shame for ever bringing Zhu Yi Nian to the company.

"But it was his fault and mine too. I have expected this since I have heard that he betrayed us but I didn't believe he would take his shamelessness that far." Chuan Huan Jing sighed, rubbing his forehead when he felt a hand rubbing his shoulders.

"Betrayal felt hard to the one who was betrayed." she said recalling Andy. "But you shouldn't feel sorry for yourself or angry for trusting him." the words she said felt directed to herself. "so instead of howling yourself with gloominess it's time for you to show me the gowns you've made for the competition, I can't wait!" she beamed a wide smile where Chuan Huan Jing who saw her smile couldn't tell but returned the same expression.

They went toward a different room one that was abandoned when in truth it was the safest place for Chuan Huan Jing to keep the gown he had created without being sniffed by Zhu Yi Nian. The door was locked with a bolt and only either Zi Gong, Chuan Huan Jing, of Xiao Yun could open the room.

Once they entered, Xiao Yun was first greeted by the brownish red gown. The upper gown was made out of embroidered laces specifically made by Chuan Huan Jing himself and with a skirt that flowed down straight to sweep the floor. It wasn't hard for anyone to know how the embroidery and stonework was done meticulous by hands.

Reaching out her hand, she felt the velvet texture of the skirt with golden threads to frame the hem of the skirt. "This is the first gown?"

Chuan Huan Jing shook his head bringing the paper that was dirty in the corner of the room and hurriedly cleaned the place before Xiao Yun notice and hurriedly say, "No, actually this is only the sample." A sample? Xiao Yun rose her brows even though it was beautiful enough for her jaw to drop, Chuan Huan Jing thought it was mediocre for the competition.

"The real one is behind this gown, boss do you want to see the gowns?" asked Chuan Huan Jing after shoving his papers in one shelves.

Xiao Yun smiled, "No it's fine I believe you have done your best."

"That's right boss, what did you come for?" asked Zi Gong.

"I was drove near here and thought I should come to drop by. Fortunately, I came before Zhu Yi Nian could make a scene. Is there any new news regarding the company, Zi Gong? Or any troubles?"

"No! Everything is processing well and for now we are focusing on opening the branch in South also the Spring competition for next week." Xiao Yun sang a hum.

"You did well." she tapped Chuan Huan Jing's shoulder for the man to let a happy smile. As her company was stable, Xiao Yun who had no other work to do didn't dwell long at her company.

As she rode her car to go back to Wang Li Lei's house she fell to a long thought. This is weird, Xiao Yun thought to herself when she remembered the incident Zhu Yi Nian had created back in the company when he was about to resign. If Zhu Yi Nian was working with Lin Chang Lu, it makes her question why would he resign from his position now?

Lin Chang Lu could have waited for a longer time perhaps just three days before the competition started but yet he chose to do it now. Did Zhu Yi Nian resigned by his own choice or was he ordered by Lin Chang Lu to do so?

What are they thinking? Her hand straightened the end of her hair as she kept up with the train of her thought, but no matter what her plan have taken a move and Lin Chang

Lu will not be able to stop this plan from working on.

"Did Li Lei give you any informations about Tian Yi?" she asked when the car stopped for a red light.

"The last time Senior Jang receive Tian Yi's letter was about a week ago but an update for this week should be given around this day of the week." Xiao Yun couldn't stay calm with the thought that Tian Yi was invading Choi Yeon Jun's group. Wang Li Lei had made sure to increase his safety by placing the man in a small branch of Choi Yeon Jun where he could investigate what was done behind the scene without being suspected but she can't help to worry him.

Getting inside the car, then Xiao Yun questioned Hi Gu Yan who was now fixing his belt. "Has Tian Yi ever tell you a story of his family? Or from where he came from?"

"His family?" Tian Yi tried to go through his memory to say, "He didn't say many things about himself. I only know a few thing but I think boss also knows."

"It's fine, tell me." she said.

"He came to China by coincidence. It seemed that his youngest nephew named Tian Shi was the one who tricked him and leave him to China without food and then he met boss. That was what he said."

That was most of the story and as Xiao Yun didn't force Hi Gu Yan and Tian Yi to tell their past, she didn't ask him any further.

"I remember that he said he had many students studying martial arts under him and his nephew also studied under him but they always fought. I also remember to have seen him bringing a picture with him."

Hearing this Xiao Yun had her interest piqued. "Picture?"

"Yes, a picture of his students." Hi Gu Yan confirmed and Xiao Yun asked,

"Do you remember where he put that picture?"
