Jiang Weiche sighed, feeling a little regretful.

But it's only the first day, and feelings have to develop slowly.

Jiang Weiche persuaded his frustrated self and became calm again.

The two of them had about the same lunch. Seeing Zhu Huayan cover her mouth with her hands from time to time, he pointed to the door of the lounge and said.

"Hua Yan, after dinner, you can go to the lounge for a lunch break and then work after the desk is delivered in the afternoon. There is a clean quilt in the closet. If you are not used to it, you can change it."

Zhu Huayan nodded, opened the door to the lounge and walked in.

Jiang Weiche's lounge is very similar to his first impression on others, clean, simple yet elegant.

The lounge, which is more than 60 square meters, contains only a bed, a wardrobe, a bookshelf and two small cabinets beside the bed. It is not only spacious, but also feels peaceful when you enter.

Zhu Huayan looked around the environment in the lounge, and her sleepiness disappeared instantly.

The lounge, such a private place, should probably contain some important or secret things.

"Click."

The door to the lounge was gently pushed open, revealing a small crack. Zhu Huayan looked out through the crack in the door. The person who had just been sitting on the sofa returned to the desk.

He lowered his head and looked at the documents in front of him without blinking. He looked serious as if nothing could disturb him.

Zhu Huayan felt relieved, quietly closed the door and started rummaging around inside.

The first thing she looked at was the wardrobe Jiang Weiche had mentioned.

In addition to some daily changes of clothing, there is only a set of clean mattresses for easy replacement, and a few thin blankets, nothing special.

Then I went to look through the bookcases. There were a dazzling array of books on the bookcases. Most of the books inside had signs of being turned over. It was obvious at a glance that they were not for decoration.

Zhu Huayan picked out a few books and flipped through them, but unexpectedly found nothing.

Looking up, there are so many books placed in layers that I can’t even count them. Not to mention too many, there are still hundreds of them.

She still had a long way to go if she wanted to check them all. She felt that her hope was very slim. She rubbed her eyes and temporarily gave up on this difficult place and looked for a simpler place.

As it happens, although the lounge area is large, the interior configuration is very simple. As of now, apart from the bookshelves, there are only two bedside tables that have not been checked.

There was a small lamp on a cabinet, and there was nothing in the drawer.

The other side was different. As soon as Zhu Huayan walked around the bed, he saw the book on the small cabinet. He held it at will and let it open freely. He clearly turned to a page.

There was a ginkgo leaf inside as a bookmark. Zhu Huayan took out the leaf and examined it carefully in the sun.

The beautiful fan shape and irregular arcs are natural features. Although the leaves are beautiful, they are not particularly perfect. There are some scratches and minor damage on the edges and corners.

'It's not very special. Why is he keeping this leaf? "

Zhu Huayan was a little curious, so she turned the leaf stalk around in a circle. The veins on the back of the leaf were a strange red. This subtle difference suddenly made her feel familiar.

She remembered that it was before Zhiting's accident.

At that time, she regarded Jiang Weiche as a temporary companion, and took advantage of her free time to visit all the attractions in the city.

Among them is a relatively famous ancient temple located on the top of the mountain.

They climbed to the top of the mountain and asked for a fortune in the temple. When they came out, they found an ancient ginkgo tree with ten people hugging each other.

This ginkgo leaf bookmark fell on her hair when she was admiring it under the tree. Jiang Weiche took it off after discovering it.

She didn't expect that he would keep it until now, and even specially prepared it as a bookmark.

Returning to reality, he paused for a moment while turning the pages of the book, and Zhu Huayan sighed.

She didn't expect Jiang Weiche to have such deep feelings for her. She used to think it was just a matter of lust, but recent events and the look in his eyes proved otherwise.

In fact, since he and Jiang Weiche met, except for the tit-for-tat confrontation on the first day, he treated each other with courtesy thereafter and had nothing to feel sorry for.

When Jiang Zhiting was in the most uncomfortable situation due to the car accident, he was by his side and comforted each other to get through the most difficult days.

At that time, she really regarded Jiang Weiche as the most trustworthy person.

Zhu Huayan frowned slightly, not knowing what he was thinking about, and opened the door again.

Jiang Weiche was lying on a sofa that was a little narrow compared to his height and fell asleep. Zhu Huayan walked over quietly and saw that his brows were furrowed and he was troubled by troubles even in his dreams.

His hands were placed peacefully on both sides of his body, and his body was lying flat on the front, very regular, like a sleeping position that had been measured with a ruler.

The excessive rules make people feel sorry for the freedom he lost in the past.

Suddenly, she remembered what Aunt Li had said about Jiang Weiche, who gave up her favorite studies and temporarily took over the chaotic company. Not to mention other things, he was really having a hard time now.

He didn't know how long it had been since he had a good night's sleep, and he had indeed lost some weight. There were signs of exhaustion on his face, and even his lips were a little... white?

Zhu Huayan looked up and found that the air conditioner was running diligently with cold air on. The temperature was not low for a person who was awake, but it was different for a person who was asleep.

She didn't think much, turned around and went into the lounge, took out a blanket, came back and draped it on him.

Seeing the way his brows relaxed and the color of his lips gradually returned, Zhu Huayan asked softly: "Did you really do it?"

She began to be suspicious of the contents of the investigation, but when she turned her head and glanced at the cleaned thermos bucket, she looked confused and hesitant, not knowing what she should do next.

"Ding dong."

The sound of text messages on the mobile phone is clear and loud, which seems a bit noisy in the quiet office.

Afraid of disturbing Jiang Weiche's rare good sleep, Zhu Huayan stood up from the sofa and returned to the lounge.

She didn't know that after she left, the corner of the thin blanket was gently grasped by a hand.

After closing the door of the lounge, Zhu Huayan opened her phone and checked the message. It was a text message from Huang Liang asking about it.

Huang Liang is an experienced employee with more than 20 years of experience who was fired by Jiang Weiche after he took office.

Since the cooperation was reached that day, he would send text messages from time to time asking himself if he had found anything important.

Zhu Huayan bit her lower lip until it turned white and typed a question.

She asked: Was it really Jiang Weiche who did what happened to Zhiting?

In less than a minute, a message came back from the other side.

Huang Liang: Don’t you believe the evidence from your own investigation?

He didn't respond directly, but his simple rhetorical question made people's hearts drop completely.

Do you believe it? It should be, don’t you believe it?

Zhu Huayan ignored the messages Huang Liang continued to send, her mind became a mess, and she threw herself directly on the bed.

Close your eyes and sleep.

You don't have to worry about so many things when you fall asleep.
