Ji Yunshen raised his eyebrows and glanced at him indifferently. He did not speak or move, as if he was waiting for him to continue.
Fu Qingshan saw that he was disappointed and dejected for a woman, and lost his interest in keeping him in suspense. “It’s Huang Yao, Tian Tian’s kindergarten teacher. ”
“I used to think that she looked familiar. There was something about her that was very familiar, as if she was an old friend that we had known for a long time. But in reality, she was a complete stranger to us. ”
Fu Qingshan took out a cigarette case from his trouser pocket, took one out and put it in his mouth. He handed the other cigarette to Ji Yunshen, who was beside him “On her, there are many times that I feel very strange, but I can’t tell exactly what is strange about her. You have come into contact with her many times, have you ever had this feeling? ”
Previously, when Ji Yunshen spent more than half a year in Syria looking for Qiao man, Fu Qingshan would bring Tian Tian to his Qingshan villa to take care of her whenever he came back from the capital for work. He would also often pick her up from school Because of this, he had come into contact with Huang Yao a few times. Although it was very short-lived, just like what he had just said, he always felt that she was very familiar, inexplicably familiar.
“Then who do you think she looks like? ”
Ji Yunshen took the cigarette that Fu Qingshan handed over and put it in his mouth. Then, he lowered his head and leaned closer to the lighter in his hand. After lighting it, he took a deep breath.
“Tong Qin. ”
Fu Qingshan slowly exhaled the smoke in his mouth, and his voice was somewhat hoarse from the smoke. “She gives me the feeling that she looks very much like Tong Qin. ”
After Tong Qin was sent to prison, she applied for two months of medical parole because she was pregnant. Later, because the hospital was built illegally, a serious collapse suddenly happened. Dozens of floors were instantly razed to the ground.
In that accident, there were 348 doctors, nurses, and patients in the entire hospital. In the end, 31 people survived. Most of the remaining people had lost their vital signs when they were found. A few who had vital signs died after first aid They still did not have the power to defeat the grim reaper.
Among them, there were also those who were buried in the ruins and not found. They were collectively known as missing persons.
Tong Qin was one of the missing people. During the month-long search and rescue, they did not find anything about her. It was as if she had suddenly disappeared from the world.
“I’ve checked on Huang Yao. ”
Ji Yunshen reached out his hand and pressed on his aching Glabella in the smoke “She has complete background information. She has parents and a younger brother. She even knows all the information about her education since she was young. If she is Tong Qin, then there are only two people I can think of who are behind her. ”
Fu Qingshan did not say anything. He just smoked quietly and waited for the next part.
“One is my grandfather, Ji Donghe, and the other is the richest businessman of Chinese descent, Wen Jiaming. ”
If it was the former, it was impossible that he could not find any clues, but if it was the latter, it was very likely.
Not to mention Wen Jiaming’s influence abroad, even his influence in the country was not comparable.
If he had set up an ambush long ago and used his identity as a well-known entrepreneur to cover up his other motives, it would really confuse others.
Another reason was that he had never paid attention to him. All these years, they had always stayed out of each other’s way. He really could not think of the reason why Wen Jiaming would extend his hand so far.
“The women that Wen Jiaming has played with all these years are all flirtatious and seductive. Even if Huang Yao is Tong Qin and she has changed her appearance, she is still the pure one. Would Wen jiaming like her enough to go against you? ”
Ji Yunshen shook his head. “That’s not right. Things are definitely not that simple. ”
There was only smoke and silence in the bathroom for a while before Ji Yunshen broke the silence.
“Old Fu, if the current situation is connected to what happened five years ago, it can only mean one thing. I have been neglecting him, and I have been walking on the wrong path. ”
The cigarette in Fu Qingshan’s hand was about to burn to the end. He raised his hand, put the cigarette in his hand to his mouth, and took a last puff. After throwing it into the trash can, he slowly said, “You mean, in this foggy chess game, it seems to be the result of your family and those successive women, but in fact, he is the one behind the scenes? ”
Ji Yunshen frowned slightly, and his voice became increasingly hoarse “In the past few years, I have always felt that there is a point that doesn’t match. It’s like a puzzle that has been put together for a long time. Two pieces are missing, but if Wen Jiaming is also put on the chess game, then this piece of the puzzle will be complete. ”
“It seems that the magnificent love between him and Qin Yulan really left behind a witness of love. Our previous guess was right, but we didn’t expect that he would come in and have unknowingly messed up the entire chess game. ”
Fu Qingshan took out his cigarette case again and lit a cigarette. “I have to say, Wen Jiaming is indeed suitable to be a businessman. He can also experience the feeling of being the fisherman in the dense fog. This is indeed not easy. ”
Ji Yunshen nodded lightly. Then, he raised the watch on his left wrist and looked at the exquisite dial. The time was already 2:25 am.
“Old Fu, it’s very late. Let’s go back. ”
Fu Qingshan put out the cigarette in his hand and threw it into the trash can. “Old Ji, what do you plan to do? ”
“Show me your cards. ”
After saying that, the tall figure of the man disappeared from the bathroom door. Fu Qingshan frowned and quickly followed him. “You’re going to participate in the election in a few days. At this time, it’s better not to confront him head-on. ”
“It doesn’t matter. ”
Ji Yunshen’s vision was almost filled with overlapping lights and shadows. Although his steps were not staggering, they were still a little messy. “She’s the most important. ”
“old JI, did you drink too much? ”
Fu Qingshan reached out and grabbed Ji Yunshen’s arm, stopping him from continuing to walk forward. “Do you know what you’re talking about? ”
“I do. ”
Ji Yunshen looked at Fu Qingshan, who was about the same height as him “Do you think that even if I don’t tell him my cards, he won’t tell me his cards “although I overlooked him in the past, in reality, he didn’t take advantage of me. Since he took the initiative to come to the surface, it means that he is still afraid of me. And this fear can no longer be hidden like what he did five years ago
“In the past, I was not strong enough. Whether it was the result of taking the initiative or being passive, I accepted it
“But five years later, I was strong enough. I was strong enough to leave the family’s Halo, and I could also have a very strong sense of presence among the political staff. But those were not what I wanted. “from the day she returned to the present, or in other words, those five years in the past, I was very clear about what I wanted. Old Fu, I can tell you very seriously that those external fame and status are not as important as her. ”
After Ji Yunshen said this, he didn’t say anything else. Instead, he patted Fu Qingshan’s shoulder and then continued to walk toward the elevator.
Fu Qingshan looked at the tall figure under the orange lights in the corridor and actually felt that he had been convinced by him.
…
When Ji Yunshen returned to the Blue Mountain Villa, it was four o’clock in the morning.
The dark night was gradually replaced by the dark blue color. There was a sudden burst of morning light in the east, which was enough for him to see the outline of the villa’s landscape clearly.
He leaned against the smoke-gray Bentley and was not in a hurry to enter. Instead, he lit a cigarette and smoked.
The green-white smoke was blown away by the morning wind and soon disappeared. His deep eyes had long become dark under the influence of alcohol, and he couldn’t see the end of it.
He leaned against the car and smoked for a long time. Then he took out his phone from his pocket and dialed a number. The phone beeped twice, and the other side picked up. With a hoarse voice that was unique to morning, he asked, “President Ji, what’s up so early? ”
“Secretary Sun, after you wake up early, go to the research institute and send Qiao Man and Xin Qiao’s test samples to the identification agency in Jingdou for testing. Remember, you can’t tell anyone about this. It has to be done in secret. ”
“Okay, President Ji. ”
Secretary Sun quickly answered. Seeing that Ji Yunshen did not have the intention to hang up the phone, he asked in a low voice, “President Ji, is there anything else? ”
“send the perfume sample I gave you five years ago, as well as the sample of Glucocorticoid, to the testing center. I want to know if there are any other drug ingredients in there. ”
“Okay, President Ji. ”
Ji Yunshen hummed in a low and indifferent voice. Then, he said that he had worked hard and cut off the phone communication.
He closed his eyes and pondered for a while. Then, he got up and walked to the door of the villa.
The sensor light in the hall was orange as usual. He changed into his slippers and walked upstairs. First, he went to the children’s room to take a look at Tian Tian who was sleeping soundly. He tucked her into the corner of the blanket and adjusted the temperature of the air conditioner before he got up and left.
When he reached the door of the master bedroom, he paused for two seconds before his big hand landed on the DOORKNOB. He turned it slightly and the door opened. He tried his best to walk in as quietly as possible.
Qiao man was facing the floor-to-ceiling window and sleeping soundly. He stood at the end of the bed and could hear her faint and even breathing.
He stood there quietly for about ten minutes before he turned around and walked out.
The second the door was gently closed, the woman lying on the bed opened her eyes and looked at the sky outside the gap between the floor-to-ceiling curtains.
…
The next day, at ten o’clock in the morning.
Ji Han was engrossed in the design proposal, confirming the final design draft for the starlight ceremony.
Just as she was about to finalize the design, the glass door of her office was forcefully pushed open. The next second, a graceful figure walked over in high heels into her sight, accompanied by he Xin’s voice that stopped her.
“Miss Tang, please wait. Miss Tang, Miss Tang… ”
Tang Lu pushed he xin aside. He Xin was wearing seven-centimeter stilettos. His feet slipped and he fell heavily to the ground.
Ji Han walked over to help he xin up without a second thought. Then, she looked at Tang Lu across from her through the floor-to-ceiling window. “Miss Tang, didn’t anyone teach you what manners are when you’re in school? ”
“Ji Han, stop pretending. What’s the matter? You’re not satisfied with being dumped by Gu Xichen once, and you want him to dump you again? ”
Ji Han wouldn’t normally get angry with such a big-breasted and brainless woman, but Tang Lu really deserved a lesson.
After she helped he xin up, she carefully checked if she was hurt. After making sure that she wasn’t hurt, she smiled faintly and said, “He Xin, visitors are guests. Go make a pot of tea for Miss Tang and me. Use the company’s best batch of imported tea leaves. ”
He Xin actually didn’t want to leave, but under Ji Han’s urging, she still turned around and left.
After he Xin left, Ji Han pointed at the Sofa in the reception area and said, “Miss Tang, if you have anything to say, let’s sit down and talk. ”
“Sure! ”
Tang Lu crossed her arms and walked over to sit down. Then, she crossed her legs and looked at Ji Han walking over with an extremely disdainful and mocking gaze.
Ji Han didn’t care about her gaze. He smiled elegantly the entire time. “Miss Tang, you can say it now. ”
Tang Lu first raised her delicate eyebrows, then brought her five fingers, which were covered in bright red nail Polish, before her eyes and blew lazily on them “Miss Ji, I heard that you grew up in the orphanage and were taken in by the JI family since young. You may seem noble and proud, but in fact, you have a lower self-esteem than anyone else. Otherwise, why wouldn’t you be able to handle Ji Yunshen and Gu Xichen? Now, you’re even more unable to handle Fu Qingshan. ”
“sometimes, I wonder if you’ve done something wrong in your past life, so any man who has an emotional entanglement with you in this life is destined to be snatched away by other women, whether it’s Ji Yunshen, Gu Xichen, or the current Fu Qingshan… ”
Ji Han listened to her gently and indifferently. She was neither angry nor angry, as if the person Tang Lu was talking about was not her at all.
“So, what exactly is Miss Tang going to say? ”
Tang Lu took a deep breath and looked at the smile on Ji Han’s face. She wished she could tear it apart “Ji Han, you really know how to act. I’ve been following Gu Xichen for the past few years. Don’t tell me you don’t know? I don’t believe that you would really be indifferent when he dumped you in front of all the political and business celebrities in forest city at the wedding. ”
“Does Gu Xichen know that you’re provoking me like this? ”
Ji Han’s elbow, which was resting on the Armrest of the SOFA, moved slightly. The corners of her lips curled into a faint smile. “How about this? I’ll call him over. After all, this involves him. ”
As she spoke, Ji Han took the phone and pressed a series of numbers.
Tang Lu was a little flustered. She went forward to snatch the phone in Ji Han’s hand, but was pushed back by Ji Han. The thin heels that Tang Lu was wearing were tangled with the carpet, and her petite back fiercely slammed against the wooden coffee table in front of the SOFA.
Ji Han threw the phone to the side and quickly moved in front of Tang Lu. He reached out and grabbed her petite chin “I say, Tang Lu, who gave you the courage to mock me so brazenly? Do you believe that as long as I say a word, I can immediately make you disappear from the entertainment industry? ”
Tang Lu did not expect that Ji Han, who was gentle and adorable a second ago, would turn into a maniac in the next second. She retreated repeatedly until her entire body was pressed against the coffee table and could no longer move.
“Ji Han, I’m not… I was scared. After what happened yesterday, I lost a few endorsements and was stood up by a few variety shows. Isn’t this your doing? ”
Tang Lu really wanted to break free from her grasp, but she was not shaken at all. “since you dare to use men to achieve what you want, why don’t you dare to admit it? ”
Ji Han’s eyes flickered. In the end, she let go of her grip on her jaw and stood up “first, I didn’t do anything behind your back because your rank isn’t high enough. Second, you’re so stupid. How did you convince Gu Xichen to support you? Is He blind? Or is he desperate? ”
Tang Lu got up from the ground in a sorry state. She was about to step forward and teach her a lesson, but she was frightened by Ji Han’s gaze and took two steps back.
“Ji Han, don’t be too proud. What’s the use of having so many men surrounding you? None of them are sincere to you. I actually think that you’re very pitiful, more pitiful than anyone else in this world… ah… ”
Tang Lu never thought that Ji Han would slap her. Moreover, it was a slap that had almost no control over its strength.
She only felt her vision go black. Her ears were filled with the rumbling and whistling sound of the wind. She couldn’t hear anything else.
“Ji Han… ” Tang Lu stomped her feet, and her high heels made a crisp sound on the ground. “You… you’ve gone too far. ”
Ji Han smiled, walked to the desk, and pressed the landline phone button. “A few security guards, please escort the people in my office out. ”
“Yes, Miss Ji. ”
Tang Lu still tried to rush up, but Ji Han easily dodged her “Tang Lu, I’m not a pushover that anyone can bully. Don’t treat me as your imaginary enemy. If Gu Xichen really loves me, how could he have abandoned me at the wedding a few years ago? He loves someone else, go find him! ”
“You’re talking about Qiao Man. ”
“looks like you know everything! ” Ji Han walked gracefully to the swivel chair and sat down. Then, she lowered her head and continued to draw the design on the table. “Why are you still standing there when you know everything? Are you waiting for the security guards to throw you out? ”
Tang Lu did not take any advantage at all, and she did not even provoke her at all. The raging fire in her heart burned even more fiercely.
That night, after Gu Xichen got drunk, he called out the names of two people. One was Ji Han, and the other was Qiao Man.
After hearing what Ji Han said, Gu Xichen indeed did not seem to love her, but Qiao Man.
Her mind was filled with a myriad of thoughts. It was not until a few security guards rushed into Ji Han’s office that she tidied up her clothes and hair and walked out of Ji Han’s office.
Ji Han focused on sketching the design draft in her hand. It was not until the woman’s high heels completely disappeared from her hearing range that she turned the swivel chair and faced the French window. She looked out at the bustling city and the heavy traffic outside.
It was not until the complicated thoughts in her heart gradually calmed down that she turned around and prepared to continue working on the design draft in her hand.
Before she could fully recover, the text message tone that she had just thrown on the Guest Sofa rang. She frowned and had no choice but to walk over to check.
It was a text message from an unknown number. She reached out and opened it. The content inside made her already frowning brows instantly crease into a ball.
“Dear, are you satisfied with everything I’ve done for you? Come out and meet me. I miss you so much. ”
Ji Han closed her eyes and took a deep breath before quickly typing a few words on the screen. “I’ve already given you enough money. Don’t contact me again. ”
After the text message was sent successfully, another ten seconds passed before a text message was sent back “Although I’ve changed my appearance because of the money you gave me and become a well-known entrepreneur that everyone is envious of, we’ve been friends for so many years. We can’t just break up like that. Think about it and follow me. ”
“Stop Dreaming! ”
After Ji Han saw that the text message was sent successfully, she turned off her phone and walked around the office in frustration.
He Xin made tea and came in. Seeing Ji Han walking around on the ground, she asked softly, “Han ‘er, what’s wrong? Did Tang Lu bully you? ”
There were some wolves on the ground, and her hair was messier than when she had just walked out, so she couldn’t help but think in that direction.
“No. ”
Ji Han pulled he Xin’s hand and asked indifferently, “Xin Xin, when was the last time you took a vacation? ”
“Why are you suddenly asking this? ” He Xin glanced at her indifferently. After seeing the expression in her clear eyes, she said gently, “it’s been half a year. I haven’t taken a vacation for about half a year. ”
“Xin Xin… ”
“Huh? ”
Ji Han pulled he xin to sit on the Leather Sofa where the guests were. “I’ve run into some trouble at the last minute. Help me solve it. After that, you can take a few days off! ”
“What trouble? ”
Ji Han didn’t say much. “It’s just a little trouble. It’s not convenient for me to tell you more. You just have to remember to listen to my arrangements when the time comes. ”
He Xin nodded after listening and did not ask any more questions.
…
At six o’clock in the evening, at the Blue Mountain Villa.
The night was already getting dark. The faint stars scattered their brilliance in every corner of the night sky.
After Ji Yunshen finished settling the documents, he returned to the master bedroom to look for Qiao man.
Qiao man was not feeling too well today, so she did not go to the filming set with Xie Zhiqian. Instead, she stayed at home and watched serialized comics and variety shows.
When Ji Yunshen walked in, she was watching a rather funny variety show. Before she could stop smiling, all of it was reflected in his eyes.
“I’ve been busy all day today and forgot to tell you that I’m going to attend a business event with you tonight. You should get ready now and come with me later. ”
Qiao man was stunned for two seconds before she realized what he had just said. She subconsciously raised her head and looked at the european-style clock on the wall. It was already past six o’clock in the evening. She had no time to prepare at all.
“Can I not go? ”
The News of her return only appeared in the entertainment news and gossip media. She did not really stand in front of everyone.
Perhaps because everyone knew of her death, she really wanted to disappear just like that.
“You can choose to wear this or wear something a little more grand, but you can’t not go. Lao Fu and I are the behind-the-scenes organizers of this starlight ceremony. We can’t not be there, and we can’t not have a female partner. ”
Qiao man took a deep breath and resigned herself to fate. She took the tablet from her lap and stood up, ready to pick out a dress.
Just as she was about to pass by the man, the man reached out and grabbed her slender wrist. “Man man, when can you tell me… what happened to you in Syria five years ago? ”
Qiao man did not expect him to suddenly bring up this question. After thinking for about three seconds, she shook off his hand. “sorry, I don’t really want to bring it up. ”
