Chapter 266 - Qin Gengxin Found Jiang Ruolan IV (2/2)
Assistant Bai nodded and gently placed the files on the stack of documents beside him. After hesitating for a moment, she said, ”President Xian, it's already afternoon. You haven't left the office since this morning. You haven't eaten anything. Your stomach--”
”I'm fine.”
Assistant Bai was helpless and rubbed her hands, ”Half an hour ago, Miss Zhou came here and wanted to see you. I said you were in a meeting and she has been waiting for you in the reception room for over half an hour.”
”Tell her to go back.” Xian Zihao closed the file and pressed the center of his brows with his finger. His emotionless eyes turned to look at Assistant Bai. With a stern gaze, he asked, ”Can't you hear what I'm saying?”
”President Xian, no matter what, please don't torture your body. You haven't had lunch in the last few days. No matter how anxious you wanted to deal with the case twenty years ago, you still have to take care of your body.” Assistant Bai knew she talked too much, but she couldn't watch Xian Zihao tortured his body anymore.
Xian Zihao frowned faintly but didn't say anything.
Assistant Bai did not dare to say anything else. She turned around and walked out of the office, closing the door softly behind her.
Suddenly Xian Zihao's phone rang. He looked at the file beside him and searched for flaws. He allowed the phone to ring a few times before pressing the speaker.
Qin Gengxin's voice echoed in the office, ”How is it? That case is pretty close, isn't it? It's really just as Senior Zhou said, your father was really related to that incident back then?”
Xian Zihao looked down at the file in his hands. The facts that had been hidden in this case for years were presented before his eyes, yet he did not make a sound when he heard Qin Gengxin's question.
”Senior Zhou is directly taking the lives of the Xian Family's foundation and Uncle Xian. This is really a cruel ploy, impossible to talk about. He used this tactic on your wedding night, and he was not afraid to ruin Jiang Ruolan and his dearest granddaughter. What good is this result for Zhou Shufen?”
Qin Gengxin naturally understood Xian Zihao very well, so he didn't wait for him to say anything before continuing to smile, ”I'm in F City.”
”En.” Xian Zihao answered with an indifferent tone as if he was not concerned about it at all.
”I said I was in F City!”
The hand that was flipping through the pages paused for a second before it continued to flip through. His eyes were calm as he replied, ”En.”
”Jiang Ruolan is in F City and I know that you already knew about it.”
”En.”
”She's calmer than I thought. I thought she was just maintaining her dignity in front of everyone. After enduring all that, she left decisively. I thought she was going to hide in an empty corner and cry. I even wanted to take this opportunity to comfort her and let her go with me. However, this woman's strength has already surpassed my imagination. She even gave me the illusion that she had never met you before. Between her and me, you, Xian Zihao... It's like you never exist in her life.”
”En.” Xian Zihao still replied in a calm voice.
”She had two glasses of lemonade today.”
”She said she went out with her friends every night to nibble on the pig's feet. She could nibble on three or four with a single meal.”
”She's a little fatter than she was half a month ago, and she looks fine. She has a new job.”
”She saw Ren today, but she scolded him. She's still acting like a little chili, arguing back and forth with Ren.”
”En.”
Seeing no reaction and no other answer from Xian Zihao, Qin Gengxin ended his call.
The office was empty and quiet, the sun shining through the French windows and sprinkling gold on the large desk.
The hand that was flipping through the file finally stopped. After a long while, the person behind the desk slowly raised his head. His calm face changed under the golden sunlight. He stared at a spot in front of him, unmoving, for a long time.
