~Han Corporations~
In the conference room on the Presidential floor, Han Zihao was having a meeting with all the team leaders of the departments and was checking their quarterly reports when Feng Sheng quietly entered the room, without disturbing anyone, and went to Han Zihao.
" Sir, there is something that you need to see urgently." He whispered in his ears.
Han Zihao scowled and turned to Feng Sheng who was wearing solemn expressions on his face. " Is it so serious that you came to disturb me during the meeting?" He asked coldly, making everyone shudder at his deep voice.
Inwardly, everyone was praying that he would agree to Feng Sheng's request and disperse the meeting to attend to the 'urgent matter'.
Han Zihao's stony expressions were enough to give them a hint that he was not pleased with the reports and if this meeting continued, they will get to see the wrath of THE HAN ZIHAO.
He has not become the youngest and the most successful President of Han Corporations for no reason. His professionalism and charisma when working were enough to scare anyone and make them work harder just to avoid his scolding.
Feng Sheng pursed his lips and nodded seriously. " I believe it's better if you can look into this matter as soon as possible." He urged.
Seeing the serious expressions of Feng Sheng, Han Zihao put away the files that he was holding and turned to the people who were looking at him expectantly, " The meeting is dispersed for now."
" Ah, Thank God." The low whispers could be heard in the room as the people sighed in relief and were glad to be able to leave the conference room without being scolded.
" However, I want the explanation of these quarterly reports by 5 in the evening. Is that clear to all?" He asked in a threateningly deep voice while looking at everyone's frozen bodies.
" Do I have to repeat myself?"
" No…No Sir."
" We…will prepare the explanations by the given time. Thank…you, Sir." The people hurriedly responded and before Han Zihao could add anything to the list, they hurriedly picked up their laptops and files and left the room in hurry to get to work.
After everyone left, Han Zihao turned to Feng Sheng who was looking at him seriously and was waiting for him to tell him about something." Now spill it. What is so important that you couldn't wait for the meeting to end?" Han Zihao asked.
Feng Sheng took a deep breath and handed him a brown envelope that had no address or contact number on it, " Sir, a while ago, the receptionist had received this parcel and was told that it was very urgent and needed your attention right away."
Han Zihao pursed his lips in a thin line and examined the plain-looking envelope when he heard Feng Sheng say, "Apologies for being rude, but thinking about your safety, I assumed that it would be better for me to check the parcel in advance."
"So…what did you find in it?" Han Zihao asked without opening the envelope and looked at him in curiosity. " Is it some threatening letter or a prank like always?" He asked indifferently.
It was not the first time that he received such letters. Many times it's either an offer letter from other people to join hands with them or a threatening letter if things don't go according to them.
He was about to throw away the envelope in the dustbin when he heard Feng Sheng speak again, " You should check it yourself, Sir. The content of the letter seems to be a private message for you." He said seriously.
Han Zihao frowned and waved his hand at him to leave him alone. After Feng Sheng left the meeting room, Han Zihao tore open the brown envelope and found a white sheet of paper inside, with something written on it.
[ THE HARNESS, IT WAS NOT AN ACCIDENT.]
As soon as he read the contents of the letter, Han Zihao's jaw tightened, and clenched the paper in his hand as he fell into deep thought. It was just a line but was clear enough to understand the meaning hidden in it.
The accident and harness, all words were hinting toward Jiang Yue's accident. However, who could have written such a letter to him? And why? He wondered.
It wasn't an accident?
The reason for the harness breaking at that time was proved to be an accident by the police because they didn't find anything suspicious about it. Also, during the police investigation, they didn't find any significant pieces of evidence to accuse Hao Mei of Jiang Yue's murder either.
So after the drama of the press conference, they charged her hefty fines and penalties, accusing her of manipulating Jiang Yue's will and attempting to transfer all of her wealth to their names. She and Qin Ju were free from the charges after paying hefty penalties.
Since there was nothing suspicious about her accident, they assumed that the chapter was over and things were also going smoothly in their life.
However, this kind of letter coming to him from nowhere was shocking and confusing. Who can be that person? And…why…why did they send this kind of letter to him and not Jiang Yue's family?
Because in other people's eyes, he has no relationship with Jiang Yue, other than a working relationship. Then…..who sent him this kind of letter? Does that person also know that Jiang Yue is not dead and Xu Nuan is the real Jiang Yue? He wondered.
Without wasting another minute, Han Zihao left the meeting room and went to his office. In the office, he put away the envelope in his desk drawer and pressed on the buzzer on his desk to call Feng Sheng inside.
" Sir, you called for me?" Feng Sheng asked as he stood in front of his working desk.
" About the envelope, find out who sent it. Also, look if there is anyone lurking around Xu Nuan or trying to dig up information on her."
Feng Sheng blinked in confusion and was caught off guard by his order. " Hmm? Look for anyone who is lurking around Ms. Gu? But…what does she have to do…" He pondered, not sure what Xu Nuan has to do with this letter.
Han Zihao didn't answer his question and waved his hand, " Just do what you're told. Also, make sure no one finds out about this. Be discreet about this matter."
Feng Sheng didn't ask anymore and nodded before taking his leave from the office.

" Get me the ice cream tub from the freezer as you come back." Xu Nuan shouted as she asked Han Zihao to bring her the ice-cream tub as he came back from the kitchen. She was sitting on the couch comfortably with her legs stretched on the glass table and was watching the recently released movie on the television.
Han Zihao who was about to walk over to the couch chuckled upon receiving such an order from her and shook his head in helplessness before going back to the kitchen to take the ice cream tub for her.
" Aren't you eating too many sweets these days? The weather is changing so try to not eat so much ice cream." He said as he hands her the ice cream tub and a small plastic spoon.
Xu Nuan pouts upon hearing his unnecessary comment and frowns to see the small plastic spoon, " Why did you bring this plastic spoon? It's so uncomfortable to eat with it."
" This way you will eat less and will not stuff yourself with the ice cream." He commented indifferently, causing her to scoff at him in disbelief.
"You….You!! How can you say something unacceptable to your girlfriend just like that?"Are you calling me fat? Do you think I gained weight, just because I am eating more ice cream these days? Why? Don't you like me anymore because of it?"
Han Zihao: "....."
Han Zihao was speechless as he didn't mean this way. He simply didn't want her to eat all the ice cream and get sick because of it. " That's not what I mean. I was just saying…."
Xu Nuan cut him off and continued, " Do you have any idea how stressed I am these days? I have to prepare the girls' comeback album and along with that, I have to arrange the promotional events for the same. You have no idea how stressed out I am these days and blame me for eating too much? Hmph!!"
" You have changed. You were not like this before." She sniffled, pretending to cry, and looked away from him, holding hands in front of her chest in frustration. She wanted to cry but she was too strong-willed to cry so easily.
"I…I didn't mean to say that." Han Zihao mumbled in a low voice, worried that he might agitate her even more. He never thought he thoughtless mere comment would gain so much loathing from her.
