Zhao Youlin and Zhao Youming looked back in unison, only to see An Yue, An Qi, as well as Han Yichen, who was standing behind them, waving hands at her not far away.
Initially, An Yue did not notice Zhao Youming. By the time Zhao Youlin and Zhao Youming turned their heads over, only then did she take note of the person standing next to Zhao Youlin. Besides, she recognized that Zhao Youming was the person Zhao Youlin had warned her to be careful with. With that in mind, An Yue was immediately struck dumb. She then put down her raised hand awkwardly.
Zhao Youlin, on the other hand, did not notice this. She gave a faint smile as she said, “I still have to handle some business. I shall leave first.”
Zhao Youlin put back his iconic smile. “Youlin, have a safe trip.”
Zhao Youlin took Li and walked a few steps forward, passing by Zhao Youming. She abruptly remembered something and paused mid-stride once again. She then turned around, stared at Zhao Youming, and said, “Speaking of which, Chief Zhao, I suppose you’re aware that Chief Zhao from the human resources department who had just joined our company had met with a car accident and had been admitted to the hospital, right?”
Zhao Youming paused. He turned his head around, looked at Zhao Youlin, and said, “The news has already been spread within the company. I’m sorry to learn of this.”
“Oh? Really?” The corners of Zhao Youlin’s lips curved upward. “Chief Zhao, did you spare some time out to pay him a visit?”
Zhao Youming narrowed his eyes and acted remorseful as he said, “I also wish to pay a visit to my fellow colleague. Unfortunately, I don’t have much time for it.”
“I see..” Zhao Youlin cast a profound glance at Zhao Youming. “Chief Zhao, it’s best that you spend some time to take a look at him. After all, no matter what, he is our colleague, as well as our relative.”
Zhao Youming met Zhao Youlin’s eyes and noticed that her eyes were filled with some terrifying secrets.
Just when Zhao Youming thought that Zhao Youlin had discovered something, Zhao Youlin looked away. She took Li, turned around, and left.
Right after Zhao Youlin left, Zhao Youming’s expression darkened. Just when he was about to turn around and depart. He paused when he was greeted by a sight not far away from him.
Zhao Youlin went over to An Yue’s side and routinely showed concern for Han Yichen, An Yue, and the baby inside her belly.
An Yue gave her a smile before she responded quietly, “I’m fine. The baby is fine, too.”
As An Yue was saying this, she inadvertently stretched out her hand and touched her belly, which had begun to take shape.
When the sight came before Zhao Youming, he saw Zhao Youlin saying something to Han Yichen and An Yue with a smile, and later An Yue was seen smiling happily and touching her belly.
Zhao Youming creased his eyebrows. He found An Yue’s action was strange.
Generally speaking, when a woman touched her belly, it was either due to hunger or possibly… pregnancy.
However, it was obvious that Zhao Youming had not thought of her pregnancy at the moment. He merely found An Yue’s action to be strange.
After Zhao Youlin, An Yue and the rest of their groups had left, Zhao Youming put the thought of the strange sight in the back of his mind. Just when he was preparing to leave, someone appeared by his side and aggressively knocked him down.
Zhao Youming almost stumbled. It took him some time before he regained his balance. He then saw a woman with a hood and mask, whose face he could not see clearly, fall and sit on the floor. Her papers were scattered around the floor.
Zhao Youming was stunned. He quickly stretched out his hand to help the person up. “I’m sorry. I didn’t notice that you were there just now.”
“It’s okay. I was at fault too. I’m sorry.” The woman with a face mask said with a muffled voice, and it was difficult to hear her words clearly.
After the woman finished speaking, she ignored Zhao Youming’s helping hand. She lowered her head and began to pick up the papers that were strewn across the floor.
Zhao Youming’s outstretched hand remained motionless. He then squatted down and helped the woman to pick up the papers on the floor.
By the time Zhao Youming finished picking up the papers and stood up, only then did he realize the woman was gone.
Zhao Youming froze. He looked around but could not find her.
Out of puzzlement, Zhao Youming creased his eyebrows and took a look at the papers which he had just collected. He wanted to look for clues related to the woman.
It would have been better had he not looked at it. The moment he did, Zhao Youming’s expression immediately changed.
On February 2, 2022, at 8:40 in the morning, Zhao Yifei, the chief of the human resources department of Zhao Enterprise, was involved in a car accident while attempting to avoid a heavy vehicle at Tapper Bridge.
The heavy vehicle’s license plate was GL 883. The driver contacted the chief of development of Zhao Enterprise on 1st February 2022. In addition, the driver had received half a million dollars from him…
Zhao Youming clenched the papers. Some of them began to crease. He dilated his pupils to the point where others could see blood veins in them.
“How can this… How did these things. That woman… That woman…”
After some time, Zhao Youming slowly calmed his agitated and shocked expression. He sucked in a deep breath and surveyed his surroundings cautiously. When he was convinced that no one was around, he folded the papers and put them into his pocket. The next moment, he quietly turned around and walked into the company.
Little did Zhao Youming know that the woman whom he had been seeking passionately had not left. She stood behind a pillar not far away from him and closely observed each and every single one of his moves.
The woman narrowed her eyes when she saw that Zhao Youming’s expression changed abruptly upon reading the contents of the papers. The next moment, he pretended as if nothing had happened, kept the crime evidence, and returned to Zhao Enterprise.
“This is only the beginning, Zhao Youming. We’ll see!” After blurting out the message, the woman turned around and left.
A cold breeze blew past the woman and blew through her black, soft, and long hair. Two papers fell from her grasp, and the wind blew the papers into a corner.
If the Zhao Enterprise’s staff took a look at the papers, they would see that it was a photo torn from the center. The person in the photo was precisely the chief of development… Zhao Youming!
Su He’s wedding banquet was not overly lavish. However, most of the invited guests were VIPs. Some of them were the international companies’ CEOs, bankers from certain international banks, big bosses from a certain country’s entertainment industry who had absolute power, as well as politicians
from certain countries. The invitation guests list alone was sufficient to crush many self-proclaimed great families in Shalnork, some of whom Zhao Youlin had never heard of.
As one of the bridesmaids, Zhao Youlin and the rest of her group arrived at the Su family’s villa early. They witnessed each and every step and detail of the wedding ceremony.
When the bride and bridesmaid stepped into the church one after the other. Not only was the bride and bridegroom excited, but so was Ling Ran.
As Ye Yan’s best buddy as well as his partner-in-crime, Ling Ran was naturally in his best men’s team, while Li was in the bridesmaids’ team.
When Ling Ran saw the bride and her bridesmaids standing behind her, he was both saddened and disappointed.
This time, Li and himself played the roles of bridesmaid and best man to witness the couple’s happy moments. When would it be their turn to stand in their position and let others witness their blissful moments?
