You're investigating me?

"What happened?" Seeing her anxious face, Yan Luoxi could not help but frown.

The three of them had been on good terms with each other. Even though they hadn't seen each other for a long time, they had never lost contact.

Now, they were finally able to happily sit down and eat their meal, but Chen Man was suddenly in trouble, so she was a little worried.

"Previously, we had decided to work together with partner, and originally, we were going to sign the contract in two days, but in the end, partner's attitude suddenly changed, I'm worried that there might be a problem with our cooperation!" Normally, the other party wouldn't suddenly change their attitude towards things that they had agreed on.

Chen Man and Zhou Xiaoqin really valued this collaboration. If the partner changed his mind temporarily, their hard work would have been wasted.

"Luo Xia-jie, I want to personally go see partner. Once I'm done with the things at hand, I'll immediately contact you!" Zhou Xiaoqin said apologetically.

Earlier, the three of them had arranged to go shopping together after dinner.

"I'll go with you!" If they were in trouble, how could Yan Luoxi ignore them?

"Alright!" Chen Man and Zhou Xiaoqin looked at each other and immediately agreed to her request.

They went to partner's house together.

When they were discussing cooperation previously, the other party had been very sincere. Chen Man had courteously exchanged with Zhou Xiaoqin, and had even personally gone to his house.

When they arrived at the other party's house, the servant personally welcomed them in.

"Mr. Wu, please do not mind the intrusion!" Chen Man laughed.

"I don't mind. Speaking of this matter, it's entirely my fault. I'm afraid I'm too weak to cooperate!" The other party's attitude was gentle.

Yan Luoxi secretly sized him up and discovered that his face was sickly pale. He did not have enough strength to speak, and his body seemed to be extremely weak.

This person seemed to be sick, and it was not a light one at that …

"Mr. Wu, do you have any concerns? Why don't you say them out loud and we can discuss it together!" The reason they flew abroad was to facilitate this cooperation.

But now, he had to go back on his words. All the hard work they'd put in before had all vanished into thin air.

"Apologies, Miss Chen. I'm not feeling very well lately. I need some time to recuperate. As for our cooperation, I can only apologize to you all!" A trace of helplessness flashed across Mr. Wu's pale face.

He had been looking forward to the cooperation proposal, but now that he had become like this, he was unable to work.

Although Chen Man and Zhou Xiaoqin wanted to redeem their cooperation, but since the other party had already said it out, they couldn't reject it at all. They could only bid their farewells with faces full of loneliness.

"Say, that Mr. Wu is perfectly fine, why would he be sick at this critical juncture?" Zhou Xiaoqin's face was gloomy.

"He seems to be in a very serious condition. He cancelled the collaboration as a last resort. However, we put in so much manpower and resources, waiting for the contract to be signed, but in the end it turned out this way …" Chen Man was very unwilling to accept this.

"Is this cooperation important to you?" Yan Luoxi didn't understand the inner workings of these things, but she was very clear about their personalities.

They were carefree and generous, and when something happened to Mr. Wu's body, they seemed to be extremely worried.

As a business partner that they had not known for long, they paid such attention to him. It was clear that this business was very important to them.

"Well, before we went abroad, we had already made a deal with them and made a lot of preparations. The new projects in the company have already been invested, but now the other party suddenly changed his mind. We are in a very passive situation!" Chen Man didn't hide anything from her.

Yan Luoxi was originally a shareholder in her company, but now that such a thing had happened, Chen Man did not want to hide it from her.

"It's fine. Let's leave first. I'll think of a way to work together!" Yan Luoxi pursed her lips and said.

"Will I trouble you?" Zhou Xiaoqin was a little hesitant.

"Of course not. As a shareholder of the company, I have an obligation to contribute to the company!" Yan Luoxi left the Mr. Wu Villa's entrance with them.

After returning to the hotel, Yan Luoxi immediately called for people to investigate the Mr. Wu.

She wanted to know what kind of illness the other party was suffering from to push out such good cooperation?

Zhou Xiaoqin and Yue Shuang were extremely grateful to her. After the matters that they had arranged to meet with each other came to an end, they would treat her to a meal …

Yan Luoxi's people quickly found some clues.

"Miss Yan, the things you wanted me to investigate have some clues. That person previously went on a business trip to the country, and when he returned, he became very abnormal. The people at the company said that he fell ill!" A subordinate called to report the situation.

"Which city in the country does he travel to?" Yan Luoxi instantly captured the important information.

"Our city!" They told him about the city he was traveling to.

Hearing that, Yan Luoxi's face changed, "Have you found out when he will be returning back home?"

"Help me investigate. When he was on business at home, where did he go?"

"Alright, I'll check it out immediately!"

After Yan Luoxi put down the phone, a dark light flashed past her eyes.

Her intuition told her that this matter was not simple.

Sure enough, after a thorough investigation, Yan Luoxi's subordinates found out that on the day Male shop assistant was killed, they had gone to the outskirts of the city.

There were no surveillance in the suburbs, so Yan Luoxi was unable to confirm if his abnormality was related to that incident. However, she had a bold guess in her heart.

According to the investigation done by her subordinates, this man must have been scared, which was why she was covered in sweat.

Otherwise, if he was really just feeling unwell, he would have gone to the hospital long ago. Why would he stay at home and not go to work anymore …

After Yan Luoxi had a guess, she wanted to confirm it.

Thus, she went to Mr. Wu's house again.

"I wonder why Miss Yan is looking for me?" Originally, he did not want to meet her, but Yan Luoxi was very persistent and said that he had urgent matters to discuss with her.

Seeing that she was Chen Man's friend, Mr. Wu asked the servant to bring her to the living room.

"I want to know, what kind of illness did the Mr. Wu suffer from, and why did he sweat so often?" Yan Luoxi looked at him and said.

"It's just some old ailments, I will be fine after a while. Thank you Miss Yan for your concern!" The Mr. Wu's eyes flashed.

"Other than night sweats, does Mr. Wu have nightmares and lack of sleep?" Seeing that his face was growing uglier, Yan Luoxi knew that she had guessed right.

"Actually, Mr. Wu shouldn't be sick, but when you were on a business trip to the, you accidentally witnessed something that made you extremely fearful. That's why you were so shocked, so much that you couldn't work properly, am I right?"

Yan Luoxi realised that his eyes were averting his gaze the entire time, hence he boldly voiced out his guess.

If she guessed wrong, she would at most be chased away.

However, if she guessed correctly, things might turn around.

"You investigated me?" Mr. Wu was shocked.

"I don't want to do that either, but your previous performance was too abnormal, and my friend values this cooperation a lot!" Yan Luoxi explained the reason why he was investigating him.
