Chapter 231 - Manager Guo (1/2)
That year, after she had asked a few people to investigate the accident, she found out that her aunt, Zhao Wei has been talking to the manager of Rising Company.
After talking with the manager, he had admitted to taking bribes to change the materials. Li Qin Yao had threatened to bring the manager to the police and after a while, the manager agreed to testify against her second aunt.
That manager was the person she had seen in Y City last night. Manager Guo.
Two years ago, a day before Manager Guo could testify against her second aunt, he disappeared, leaving his wife and daughter just like that.
Li Qin Yao had tried to find him, but could not find any lead. The investigators had suspected that perhaps Manager Guo was murdered and Li Qin Yao could not shake off this possibility until she had seen him again last night.
Even though the Manager Guo she saw last night had skinnier silhouette and hunched body, Li Qin Yao could still recognize his eyes. But because of their distance, she was not too sure.
…
When Li Qin Yao arrived at the office floor, Secretary Tian was waiting for her at the elevator as usual. This time, secretary Tian was not alone, and instead, Zhang Yu Ying was waiting with her.
”Sister-in-law!” Zhang Yu Ying greeted cheerily. She leaped into Li Qin Yao to give her a tight hug before she pulled away. ”I heard you bought a wedding ring with my brother yesterday. Let me look.”
With a light chuckle, Li Qin Yao raised her hand to show it to Zhang Yu Ying.
”It's pretty.” Zhang Yu Ying looked at the ring to admire it for a while. ”You don't know this. But this morning, my brother has been walking around back and forth, trying to show off the ring on his finger.”She clicked her tongue and continued, ”You don't know how excited he was.”
Li Qin Yao laughed as she tried to imagine Zhang Yu Han bragging to his sister. The two of them chatted a bit and Li Qin Yao asked, ”We're going out for dinner later. Will you join us?”
”I can't. I was going out to meet a few friends after work,” Zhang Yu Ying heaved a heavy sigh as she recalled the phone call she received from her friend, Xiao Ran last night. Zhang Yu Ying had thought that it was strange for Xiao Ran to give her a call. But once she heard that her brother had run into Xiao Ran yesterday, Zhang Yu Ying could guess at why Xiao Ran wanted to meet her.
A manager called Zhang Yu Ying and the girl excused herself to return to her work.
Once Zhang Yu Ying went away, Secretary Tian turned to Li Qin Yao with a smile on her face.
”Is Zhang Yu Han in the office?”
”Director Zhang was having a meeting with Chairman Zhang and Mister Wei from Lu & Wei in the Chairman's office,” Secretary Tian said. ”But, Director Zhang said that you should just come into his office when you arrive.”
Li Qin Yao nodded. She walked into Zhang Yu Han's office and sat on the sofa to rest. Just as she thought that she would fall asleep while waiting for her husband, her phone rang. She saw from the caller ID that it was Bei Ruo Xi and immediately picked up the call.
”Miss Li?” Bei Ruo Xi greeted as soon as the phone was connected.
”Have you heard anything?” Li Qin Yao asked.
”I contacted the investigator after your call this morning,” Bei Ruo Xi said. ”They went to Y City to check. After looking at the surveillance camera from the shopping mall, they thought that the man you saw last night might be Manager Guo.”
Li Qin Yao's heart thumped with excitement at the news. ”Did they find him?”
