Chapter 385 - The Small Room (2/2)

After reading for a while, Jiang Ruolan put the file in her hand and got up to look at the others. Suddenly, she found a familiar brown paper bag next to a pile of documents.

Her eyes trembled.

This brown paper bag... Wasn't it when she was still working at Fengyu Media company and happened to find it on her desk when she was at work one day?

She took the bag, opened it, and took out a stack of photos.

Sure enough, they were all the tragic photographs of her mother after she jumped off a building and committed suicide.

Xian Zihao had taken the bag and told her to leave everything to him. He also ordered her not to look at these things anymore.

So why did he leave these pictures here?

And why was this bag placed next to these files related to corruption cases over the past twenty years?

Just as Jiang Ruolan's mind was in chaos, her cell phone suddenly rang. She quickly turned around and went out to pick up the phone. ”Hello? Zihao?”

”Ruolan, I've been very busy for the past few days and had come home very late. Today, I have finally completed all my work, so I'm thinking of taking you out for a walk.” Xian Zihao's gentle voice sounded from the phone.

Jiang Ruolan still had the photos in her hand. Xian Zihao's voice was gentle and full of patience, as if he would do anything for her even if she said she wanted the moon in the sky.

She paused, and the hand holding the phone tightened slightly. She opened her mouth and looked at the time. It's only three o'clock in the evening.

”Rarely can I complete all my accumulated work. I want to come back and accompany you as soon as possible.” Xian Zihao said with a smile.

Jiang Ruolan looked at the things in her hands and hesitated for a moment. ”There is no need for you to rush. There are many things you have to do at work, so there is no need for you to keep thinking about accompanying me.”

Apparently realizing something was wrong with her, Xian Zihao, who was driving the car, casually asked, ”Ruolan? Do you feel unwell?”

Jiang Ruolan actually just wanted Xian Zihao to explain everything as soon as possible, but she believed that there must be a reason why he hid everything from her. She could understand that, but she just wanted to get everything straight.

If he came back now, this room might have to be locked and she can't investigate everything more clearly.

However, Xian Zihao was so wise and insightful. If she suddenly refused to let him return home early, how could he not be worried?

Jiang Ruolan frowned and bit her lip before saying, ”No, I just don't want to delay your work.”

”Want peaches or bananas? I think you already got tired from eating apples these few months. I'll buy something else on the way home, alright?” Xian Zihao ignored her words and asked softly while smiling.

”Alright.”

”Fine, be good and stay at home. Wait for me to come back and accompany you.”

”Alright, drive slowly and be careful of your surroundings.”

After hanging up, Jiang Ruolan hurried back to the small room, put the photo back in the brown bag, put the file back on the bookcase, turned off the computer, and restored everything in the room to its original position.
