Stepping out of the elevator and passing through a glass door, you are faced with the front desk of a company.
The big characters of Hongshi Design Institute immediately came into view.
"Sir, who are you looking for?"
The female receptionist in work clothes stood up with a professional smile.
"I'll find Song Mingjie and call him out."
Gao Nantian said coldly.
"Sorry, Teacher Song has resigned."
The female receptionist answered politely.
"What?"
Gao Nantian was stunned: "When did you resign?"
"Just yesterday afternoon."
"Mr. Cheng, could it be that this guy got wind of it in advance and escaped?"
Gao Nantian didn't know what to do for a while, so he could only look at me for help.
I thought for a moment and then continued to ask the female receptionist: "You should know where Song Mingjie's family lives, right?"
The female receptionist shook her head: "Sorry, we are not responsible for providing you with the address of the former employee."
"Song Mingjie is suspected of fraud and has caused serious losses to our Goldman Sachs Group. You'd better tell his address quickly, otherwise you can't afford the consequences!"
Gao Nantian clenched his fist, knocked it on the front desk angrily, and shouted loudly.
Our movement attracted many employees in the work area to come over, and their curious eyes swept over us.
The girl turned pale with fright and said quickly: "You two, wait a moment, I, I will check it for you."
The female receptionist took out a bunch of mailing addresses, looked through them, and soon found Song Mingjie's name.
"Garden Community, Unit 301, Building 5, 2!"
"Thank you!"
I smiled slightly, then turned and left with Gao Nantian.
Without a moment's delay, the two of them drove directly to the Huayuan Community. Half an hour later, we appeared in front of Song Mingjie's house.
Bang bang bang!
Gao Nantian knocked hard on the security door, but got no response. He couldn't help but frown.
"It seems that this guy really ran away, President Cheng, what should we do?"
"Go to his house first to see if there are any clues."
With that said, I asked Gao Nantian to step aside and use my good unlocking skills. After fidgeting with the wire a few times, the door opened in response.
As soon as we walked into the entrance hall, Gao Nantian and I couldn't help but stopped and looked at the scene in front of us in amazement.
A man in his thirties lay sprawled on the ground, his eyes wide open with anger, his face ashen, and he had long since made no sound!
Next to him, there was a suitcase.
"Song Mingjie!"
After seeing the corpse on the ground, Gao Nantian couldn't help but exclaimed, with an uncontrollable tremor in his voice.
I squatted down calmly and found that Song Mingjie had no external injuries on his body, but his eyes were bulging, and his face was full of horror, as if he had seen something terrible.
Obviously, Song Mingjie was scared to death.
I couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that we are still a step late."
"President Cheng, what do you mean..."
"He should have been silenced."
I said solemnly: "Song Mingjie is just an architect, so there is obviously someone behind him."
"After Song Mingjie helped those people complete their mission, he obviously foresaw that he might be in danger, so he quickly resigned and wanted to leave here, but those people still came to the door in advance and killed him."
Song Mingjie's clue was suddenly interrupted, and it would be very difficult for us to find out the mastermind behind it.
Just when I was thinking hard about what to do next, there was suddenly a patter of footsteps downstairs, which seemed to be walking upstairs.
I glanced at Gao Nantian, and they both ducked behind the door at the same time.
But after a moment, with a creak, the security door was pushed open by a hand, and then a figure walked in.
"Mingjie!"
When the man saw Song Mingjie's body, he immediately screamed and cried bitterly while lying on the body.
Gao Nantian and I exchanged glances, and the two of us pretended to have just gone upstairs and walked into the house.
"Huh? What's going on!"
Looking at the corpse on the ground, I asked in a feigned panic.
"It's you!"
The man turned his head and glanced at us, his expression not showing any panic.
"You are here just in time. Before Mingjie leaves, he asked me to give this to you."
As he spoke, he took out a box and handed it over.
"Who are you from Song Mingjie, and what's in this box?"
I didn't take the box rashly, I just looked at the man warily and asked.
"I am Liu Shanchuan, Song Mingjie's master and his best friend in the company."
The man sighed and told us about his relationship with Song Mingjie.
"Mingjie was brought up by me. In the company, the two of us are not only colleagues, but also the best friends. We talk to each other about everything."
"Since taking over your project from Goldman Sachs Group, Mingjie has become a little distracted. He is often in a daze alone and doesn't know what he is thinking. Every time I ask, he refuses to tell."
"Just yesterday, he suddenly resigned. Before leaving, he invited me to drink. At the wine table, he gave me this box."
"He asked me to call him before going to work today. If there is no answer, it means something happened to him. Then I will transfer this thing to the people at Goldman Sachs Group."
"As for what's inside, I haven't opened it and I don't know."
After listening to Liu Shanchuan's story, I felt like I had thought of something, so I took the box and opened it directly.
Inside is a recording pen. Press the read button and a recording will be transmitted from the pen core.
"Mr. Song, help us complete this matter, and this million will be yours."
"I don't want to harm anyone, can I refuse?"
"You have no choice. We have already investigated clearly. Your parents and children are all in your hometown. If you dare not agree, then don't blame us for not reminding you!"
"Mr. Dong, no harm to your family, you have gone too far!"
"It's useless to talk to me about these big principles. You only have two choices now, agree or refuse?"
"I...promise you!"
"Hahaha, very good, I want you to place this ornament in a certain position on the rockery..."
Listening to this recording, Gao Nantian and Liu Shanchuan showed shocked expressions at the same time.
There is no doubt that one of the people in this conversation was Song Mingjie, and the person who verbally threatened him must be the mastermind behind silencing him!
Now, as long as we find out the Mr. Dong that Song Mingjie mentioned, the truth will be revealed.
"I know who this guy is."
At this moment, Gao Nantian, who had been silent, suddenly spoke.
"who?"
I asked immediately.
"Dong Xiechuan's father, Dong Wanhai, chairman of the Dong Group!"
Dong Xiechuan’s father?
I was stunned for a moment, thought for a moment, and soon figured out the whole thing.
