When Lin Qingrou woke up, she saw that the car was still moving. However, it had already changed directions.
"Where is this?" she asked.
Ye Qingming explained, "We've already reached the end point, so I didn't want to wake you up. Luckily, the driver let us sit down again." Now, where do you think we should get off? "
Lin Manrou looked out of the window and said, "The next stop is it!"
After saying that, the two of them quickly stopped the car and walked to the door to wait. After finally getting out of the car, Lin Qingrou had just woken up from a dream when she was hit by a gust of cold wind.
Fortunately, the heavens had helped them this time, allowing them to finally find a taxi.
Lin Qingrou couldn't help but chuckle as she sat in the car. "You're lucky."
Ye Qingming looked at her and smiled without saying anything.
Lin Qingrou sensed something and asked, "Were you tired when I was leaning on you?"
Ye Qingming shook his head and comforted her, "It's okay, it's not that."
Lin Qingrou did not understand, and suddenly had a bad premonition. When she noticed the bag in Ye Qingming's arms, cold sweat broke out on her back. Her heart couldn't help but tighten.
Did he find something in his bag? Was it his own notebook? Wait, I have already locked my notebook in a cabinet … What could it be? Could it be a phone? Lin Qingrou's phone did contain some information about Ye Qingzhi and Ye Qingcheng, but that information didn't explain anything. Furthermore, he couldn't open her phone even if she had the password. If that was the case, then why was he like this?
In an instant, both of them fell into a strange silence filled with worry. Only the sound of the car's engine could be heard throughout the whole process.
After returning home, Lin Manrou went to the kitchen while Ye Qingming went back to the living room alone. She drank a glass of water, held her chest and took a deep breath. She returned to her normal state and took another glass of water to the living room. She placed it on the tea table.
At this moment, Ye Qingming was standing in front of the balcony with his back facing her. Lin Qingrou walked up to him and gently advised, "Take a rest, you're exhausted tonight."
She looked at Ye Qingming and saw that he had no reaction. Just as he was about to turn and leave, Ye Qingming reached out his hand and took her in his arms.
All of a sudden, Lin Qingrou was hugged by him, causing her body to stiffen as she stammered, "I …" I can't breathe. "
Ye Qingming buried his head in her shoulder and asked, "You know Qi Yuankai?"
Lin Qingrou was shocked. Luckily, her body was still stiff, so Ye Qingming did not notice that something was wrong with her. However, she now understood why Ye Qingming was so abnormal. It was because he had seen the two photos in her bag!
She slowly reached out and stroked his back with her hand. "I don't know him at all," she explained. "So, my colleague intentionally found me pictures of Principal Qi's wife and son so that I could use them when they publish them."
After Lin Qingrou finished speaking, she seemed to feel Ye Qingming gradually relax, and she also heaved a sigh of relief.
Ye Qingming let go of his arm and stared at Lin Qingrou. His flustered eyes made Lin Qingrou feel both curiosity and heartache.
She said soothingly, "What are you thinking? I really don't know him. I still don't know where he is. To be honest, I don't really want to interview him. It's said that his private life is very messy and he doesn't treat interviewers very well. "
Ye Qingming gradually returned to normal. He frowned as he explained, "Me and him …" "I actually know him, but I haven't contacted him for many years."
Lin Qingrou revealed a surprised look, "You know him? "Really?"
"Yeah, because he's only a few years younger than me, and he's always been a subordinate of my brother. So, we can be considered as friends who grew up together. "
As Ye Qingming spoke, he took Lin Qingrou's body into his arms and sat on the sofa. Lin Qingrou only felt that he was like a lost child, quietly leaning back on the sofa, not saying a word. She had wanted to ask him about Qi Yuan, but now it seemed that she shouldn't have asked. As such, she simply gave up and sat there quietly with him.
After a while, Ye Qingming was lying on Lin Qingrou's lap, but he still held onto his arm as he looked worriedly at the wall in front of him.
At this point, Lin Qingrou gently let go of her long hair. In that instant, the tip of Ye Qingming's nose gradually emitted a fragrance. It was probably the fragrance of Lin Qingrou's body mixed with the smell of her hair washing milk. When his hair floated into his hands, he looked at it and his uneasy heart immediately calmed down.
He was sure it was a peaceful smell.
The next morning, Ye Qingming woke up to the sound of birds chirping.
"You're awake? Did you wake up from the birdsong upstairs? " Lin Qingrou laughed.
Upstairs at Lin Manrou's house was an old professor who had retired. Usually, he didn't have anything else to do, but he was fond of raising birds. Thus, if the downstairs windows were not closed in time, they would often be woken by the chirping of birds on the balcony upstairs. Although it was true that sometimes disturbed a person's sweet dreams, most of the time, when one was bathed in sunlight and awakened by the crisp and sweet chirping of a bird, it was also a rare scene of poetry.
Ye Qingming rubbed his temples and said with squinted eyes, "Not really, I didn't listen to the chirping of birds." After saying that, he subconsciously turned his body, but he didn't expect that he would almost fall to the ground.
"Did I sleep on your lap last night?" Ye Qingming asked in surprise.
Lin Qingrou nodded her head in embarrassment, extending her hand towards him and saying, "Help me up, my legs are numb."
Ye Qingming was completely awake now. He picked up Lin Qingrou and placed her on the bed. While gently massaging her knee, he couldn't help but say to her, "You should have woken me earlier. If I kept sleeping like this, would you still want your leg? Your injury from last time still wasn't any better."
Lin Qingrou couldn't help but complain, "Doctor Ye, you're really long-winded, I can't bear to wake you up, it's my fault."
Ye Qingming quickly admitted his mistakes, "Alright, alright, it's my fault. I'll go and buy breakfast for you right now. It should still be time. "
"I think I'll go with you," she refused. "I want to go to the office earlier today, so I can't eat at home."
Ye Qingming thought about it and decided to wait for her to pack up and change before leaving to get a taxi to take her to the company. He then proceeded to the hospital.
Watching Ye Qingming's car disappear into the street, Lin Qingrou took out her phone and called Shen Lei.
"Where?" she asked.
Shen Lei seemed to be eating his meal and stammered, "It's near your company."
As she spoke, Lin Qingrou headed towards the place where Shen Lei was having breakfast. Luckily, she got up early and saw Shen Lei's text message, so she was able to get here in time, she thought. However, this time, she felt guilty for lying to Ye Qingming.
But the guilt did not last long. Lin Qingrou knew this was a little cruel, but she had to do it. If he wanted to take revenge on the Ye Family, he would have to lie to Ye Qingming or even let him down. Therefore, she couldn't be so compassionate to Ye Qingming. If that happened, she would lose miserably.
After all, being merciful to the enemy meant being cruel to oneself.
At this moment, Shen Lei was slurping green bean porridge. When he saw Lin Qingrou sitting opposite to him, he took out a rolled up document from his pocket and passed it to her.
"I quickly found the person you told me to search for yesterday. He's just a playboy. However, the company is doing well and is now very expensive. It is said that it just acquired several subsidiaries at the beginning of this year. But there's one thing. Look at this. "
As he spoke, he took out another piece of paper from his pocket.
"This is his ex-girlfriend. It is said that he has spent the longest time with her. However, they broke up last month for an unknown reason."
Lin Qingrou's heart nearly leapt out of her chest upon seeing it.
"Xing Ruonan?" she muttered.
Shen Lei chuckled, "I say, your circle is really messy. Today, I am this person's girlfriend, and tomorrow, I am also that person's ex-girlfriend. Really …" "Tsk tsk tsk tsk tsk …"
Lin Manshou suddenly realized why Ye Qingming had been so worried and abnormal after knowing that she knew Qi Yuan. So it was because of Qi Yuankang and Xing Ruonan. It looked like that so-called boyfriend of Xing Ruonan's was Qi Yuankai.
She put the documents back in her bag and asked, "Then what type of companies are his?"
Shen Lei took a bite of the bun and said, "He relied on the medical equipment company to make his home. After all, I was the one who helped. After earning his first pot of gold, he started to dabble in real estate and tourism. He hadn't bought any companies in the past few years, but he didn't expect to buy three at the beginning of this year! Rich people were really different. However, I've checked his new company and it's still a medical device.
Lin looked at the documents he had given her, and he could not help but be intrigued by this man. Then, when she thought of Ye Qingming's appearance last night, she gave up on the idea of going to Qi Yuan.
Strange, why should I care about Ye Qingming's feelings?
After Lin Qingrou left the breakfast shop, she was about to head back to the company, but she didn't expect to meet Fang Tong who rode a mountain bike to work at the entrance of the breakfast shop.
"Morning, Director Fang." Lin Qingrou said subconsciously.
Fang Tong waved his hand, making the brakes as he panted in front of her. "How was the follow-up to your interview?"
Lin Qingrou was stunned. "I interviewed him yesterday. I haven't …"
Fang Tong suddenly understood and explained, "I was wrong. I thought it was the day before yesterday. "How about this, when you go next time, call me. I'll go with you."
"You want to go as well?" I thought you said you weren't interested in that. "
Fang Tong was helpless. "That's because I'm not interested in your interview, but that doesn't mean I'm not interested in this interviewee or this topic."
Lin Qingrou thought for a moment, then said hesitantly, "But I don't know if he will say, the last time we mentioned this to him, his mental state did not look too good. Fortunately, we were familiar with each other, so he didn't do anything special. However, if he didn't know that you were going … "Will he …"
Fang Tong nodded as he pondered over what Lin Qingrou had said. "How about this, I won't go with you this time. You remember to record the details during the interview and to control his mood." "If we can get this big piece of news and the situation turns out to be true, we might have a good chance of turning the tides!"
In her heart, Lin Qingrou understood that the Ministry of Current Affairs' sullen look from Qin Ling was not something that could be changed in a day or two. Therefore, if he could really help Chen Shaorong, it wouldn't just be helping him out with his grievances, but also helping the Ministry of Current Affairs. In any case, she had no reason not to take it seriously.
However, when Lin Qingrou returned to his office, he found that she was sitting at his desk, and even then, he still couldn't help but think about Xing Ruannan and Qi Yuankang.
Based on what she knew, Lin Manshou guessed that Liu Mei, the mother of Qi Yuankang's wife, would not agree with Qi Yuankang's and Xing Ruonan's marriage. Otherwise, she definitely wouldn't have left her grandson alone. The reason she didn't agree was probably because of Ye Qingming. After all, there was a saying: Friends and wives were not to be cheated. After all these years, Qi Lang had always been a loyal servant of Ye Qingcheng. If his son stole Ye Qingcheng's younger brother's girlfriend and got married, then wouldn't that be publicly slapping the Ye Family in the face?
Lin Manrou thought that the Qi family would not be this muddleheaded, and they would not be this daring.
However, from what she had seen last night, Ye Qingming seemed to be implying that Xing Ruonan had left without a second thought because of her betrayal. In other words, he knew that Xing Ruonan had broken up with him for Qi Yuan!
Lin Manshou wondered, Is that really the case? Or could it be that all of this was caused by Ye Qingzhi and Quan Wei!? She typed a question mark on the paper as she thought about it. Although the clues were still in disarray, she was still working hard. She believed that one day, she would piece together all of these clues to piece together to form a true fact.
Furthermore, Lin Qingrou had a sudden premonition that this day would arrive very soon.
However, when Lin Qingrou raised her tired head, she suddenly met Fang Tong's gaze. She hurriedly lowered her head, and the "Medusa's Curse" appeared in her mind, afraid that if Fang Tong's "Divine Vision" caught it, it would turn into a hard rock.
As she was thinking, she thought of a call to Grandpa Chen.
"Oh, it's Xiao Lin. You told Shao Rong about the interview, right? " Grandpa Chen said expectantly over the phone.
Lin Qingrou replied, "Yes, but I think I scared Brother Chen last time. Is he feeling better?"
Grandpa Chen explained, "Don't worry, he'll be much better when he gets home. If you still want to interview me this time, I can accompany him and watch him so that he doesn't lose control of his emotions. "
Lin Qingrou couldn't help but nod on the other side of the phone. She also thought that this method was very good, so she quickly arranged a meeting place and time with Grandpa Chen.
