Chapter 17          Reunion (2)

Song Shu held her breath in horror.

The room was too dark and there was no light. Song Shu had no way of judging whether the person in front of him was awake or what was his condition.

After the name that she dared not move, the man's voice was intermittent and hoarse, with a drunken murmur: "Song Shu..." He stretched out his arm to circle her, leaned his head up, and his tone was as sad as a helpless child.

Song Shu's heart was sore and painful.

She didn't struggle until the room gradually became quiet.

The person lying on her seemed to have found the warmest place, and her arms were tightly closed. He buried his head in the long hair hanging by her neck, kissing her with a faint shampooing fragrance, and breathing slowly and smoothly.

I don't know how long it took, but the breath in my ears finally settled and Song Shu was awakened. She carefully wanted to break free from the man's clamping first. But the man was really tightly clenched. She twitched several times, but her wrist was not moving at all.

Song Shu sighed silently.

What she should know is that no matter how many times she has done psychological construction for herself before and after returning to China, as long as she meets Qin Lou, she will inevitably be unable to control her emotions.

Maybe she should be glad that the first reunion was when this person was not awake - she still had time to adjust herself.

Song Shu thought, carefully prying open the man's fingers and pulling out his arm. Then she gently held the man's hand back to her side.

When she left her fingertips, she accidentally stroked Qin Lou's wrist.

Song Shu's movement of getting up stopped again.

She subconsciously lowered her head, and a sticky texture came from the stroking of her fingertips, as well as the bloody hid in the smell of alcohol.

Song Shu took out his cell phone from his clothes pocket with his fingertips trembling slightly, turned on the flashlight, and a small beam of light shone on Qin Lou's arm.

At the position where the back of the hand extends to the wrist, the skin is blooming and blood is covered with blood.

——It was not the most terrifying result she expected. Song Shu was heartbroken and breathed a sigh of relief. She frowned and observed for a moment, and found that the wound had basically stopped bleeding by itself. Then he was treated with debridement, disinfection, medicine and bandage.

And this is obviously something she absolutely cannot do.

Song Shu could only turn off the flashlight and endured the pain in her heart. She stood up and walked out with difficulty.

Stepping on the wine bottle rolling on the ground in the dark, Song Shu staggered, holding on to the sofa next to him before he could stabilize himself.

When he got out of the elevator, Song Shu picked up the bag on the ground and walked into the elevator without giving him a chance to hesitate or turn around.

Seeing the ladder door closing in front of you and the purple ocean-like soft bag background disappeared, Song Shu slowly let out a breath and clenched his handbag.

The woman slowly smiled gently on the metal wall inside the ladder box.

Only the eyes are cold and painful, and they are determined.

Whether it is for her plan or for Qin Lou - she must not let anyone recognize her.

Vio Capital 8th floor, the main floor of the Human Resources Department.

In the tea room, two female colleagues who were receiving water stood side by side.

"What's wrong with Minister Luan today? It seems that the air pressure has been very low after coming up from the 7th floor archive room? I see that she has been walking around the office for several times."

"This week'Hell Week', she was in a bad mood two years ago. That's why the company said that she and Mr. Qin must have a story."

"It feels different..." He opened his mouth and glanced out of the tea room, turned back and lowered his voice, "I heard from Dennis that Minister Luan seemed to have some prejudice against the newcomers sent by Junsheng Law Firm."

"Well? Junsheng has a newcomer? Didn't he have been consulting with their law firm before?"

"This time I came here is different. I heard that I am a top student from a famous university abroad. What kind of shopping office work in our company?"

"...I've all flew over the CET-4 and CET-6 in low altitudes. Just stop talking about English when chatting."

"Hahaha, because there is no strict translation of this profession in China. There is a saying that it is called 'assistant compliance officer', but this profession is not popular in China... I don't know the others."

"It sounds like a free job coming in through the back door? Could it be that Minister Luan is unhappy with this?"

"No way? What's wrong with her? She doesn't bother herself - she's - ahem, if it weren't for Mr. Qin's face, how old is Minister Luan? How could he be the Minister in Vio?"

"Tsk tsk, if you look good, you have an advantage..."

"Yes, speaking of this, dennis said that the new man wore a pair of black-framed glasses, but he looked very beautiful."

"Wow, that's a good show."

"Isn't that true?"

“…”

In the minister's office at the end of the same floor, Luan Qiaoqing looked down at the resume in her hand, frowned in pain.

It's so coincidental... it's really so coincidental.

There happened to be a woman who looked so similar to her sister, and she happened to come to the company on her sister's birthday - is this really a coincidence?

Luan Qiaoqing looked down at the woman in the photo.

The woman looking at the camera was smiling, gentle and even charming. Perhaps any man would be distracted when he saw her at first sight. It was completely different from the sister Luan Qiaoqing's memory. Even if his facial features were similar, the person had no emotions on his face no matter what he did.

She still remembers that day with great clarity - when the truck hit, how the girl who was not taller than her pounced on her and protected her.

At that moment, the person had no expression, except for the painful frowning. When they were in a daze, Luan Qiaoqing could even hear the voice of the person floating in his ears.

"Qiaoqiao... don't cry... someone will come to save us... Everything will be fine..."

The document was suddenly squeezed tight by Luan Qiaoqing.

She gritted her teeth and stared at herself with red eyes in the glass - but that person lied to her.

She was taken to the hospital but she had only had time to see that person again from beginning to end!

It’s clear that everything will be fine... a liar!

"Tu tuk tuk."

The glass door in the office was suddenly knocked and pushed open a crack.

"Minister Luan, the person you made an appointment with has arrived. Will he ask him to come in directly?"

"..." Luan Qiaoqing took a deep breath silently, suppressing the trembling in her voice, and trying her best to calm her tone, "Well. Let him come in."

"OK."

Half a minute later, a man in a suit with a briefcase walked into Luan Qiaoqing's office.

The door was brought to the left by the assistant.

The man stopped and walked forward after he was sure that the other party had left, and stretched out his hand to Luan Qiaoqing: "Hello, Minister Luan."

"Hello." After holding the other party Xu, Luan Qiaoqing signaled to the sofa, "Mr. Qiao, please sit down."

"Minister Luan is polite."

"I'm going to make a special trip to bother Mr. Qiao, and it's worth it."

After the two sat down, Luan Qiaoqing said, "I won't waste each other's time - let's talk straight to the point, okay?"

"Of course. Minister Luan is looking for me for...?"

"I want to ask you to help me investigate a person," Luan Qiaoqing pushed the copy of her resume in front of the man. "This is a new consultant from Junsheng Law Firm, which our company often cooperates with. I want to ask you to help me investigate her background."

"Director Luan pointed to the background, are there any specific doubts or uncertain directions?"

"I hope to get pictures of this person's childhood or enough evidence to prove whether she had plastic surgery."

"Do you suspect she has had plastic surgery according to someone's appearance?"

“…”

Luan Qiaoqing was silent for two seconds, her eyes dimmed, but her hands clenched unconsciously.

After a few seconds of silence, Luan Qiaoqing said: "That's right. I suspect someone wants to use some people and things from that year to deliberately enter the vio."

The man was stunned, his face slightly changed, "Minister Luan means... a commercial spy?"

Luan Qiaoqing paused, "I just doubt it."

"With vio's current business level, this aspect does need to be prevented." The man looked calm and asked uncertainly after looking down at it quickly, "But the position of this new employee does not seem to be far enough to reach the core of vio."

"You don't have to consider this issue, you just need to give me the result as soon as possible."

"OK."

The man put the documents into a briefcase.

At this moment, Luan Qiaoqing's phone suddenly rang.

Luan Qiaoqing signaled the other party to wait, and got up and took out her cell phone in the corner. When she saw the caller ID, she was stunned for a moment, and almost subconsciously turned her head to confirm the date on her desk.

It was indeed Song Shu’s birthday.

Then why did Qin Lou call her today?

Luan Qiaoqing didn't have to think too much and answered the phone.

"elder brother?"

"This morning..." The voice across the phone was exhausted and dumb, "Has anyone ever been to the 23rd floor?"

Luan Qiaoqing was stunned, "How is it possible? Everyone in the company knows that this week cannot disturb you, and no one dares to go up without authorization."
