Chapter 194 : Don't Tell Anyone About This

"No." Chu Zhaoyang said, "Don't think too much about it."

Gu Nian hesitated and said "hmm".

"It's okay, then I'll hang up." Gu Nian said, but she still felt uneasy.

Before hanging up, she suddenly heard him call: "Gu Nian."

Gu Nian paused and heard him call again: "Nian Nian."

Hearing him calling like this, Gu Nian breathed a sigh of relief and felt a sense of sweetness in her heart.

Thinking of the anxiety she felt from last night to now, she felt a surge of emotion, and her eyes felt sour and warm.

After calling out, the word "Nian Nian" has been lingering on the tip of his tongue.

With deep nostalgia.

"When I finish my work, I will come find you." They were together, always.

There were many things that he needed to think clearly and sorted out before he could be with her properly.

Gu Nian seemed to hear something, but couldn't grasp it. She could only nod and said: "Okay."

***

For the next three days, the two of them did not contact each other again.

On this day, Chu Zhaoyang was in the office, and He Haoran knocked on the door outside.

"Come in." Chu Zhaoyang said without raising his head.

He Haoran came in with a document in his hand.

He closed the door, walked to Chu Zhaoyang's desk, and said: "President, we have investigated everything about Gu Nian's father. I don't know what happened. It is difficult to investigate his matters. The files are locked tightly. In the middle, there are some things that cannot be found even if we use high-level connections."

Chu Zhaoyang stopped, put down the pen in his hand, and slowly raised his head: "Tell me about it."

He Haoran handed the document to Chu Zhaoyang and said: "Here is a photo of her father. Gu Nian's father is called Gu Licheng, and he also attended the police academy. However, after graduating from the police academy, he did not pass the police examination. He did not even apply for a name, and he didn't apply for other jobs. There is no file on him in the Archives Bureau, it's like there is no such person, no record at all."

"Two years after graduating from the police academy, he disappeared. Gu Nian's mother announced that he was dead, and there was no news about him after that. It seemed that there was a force that blocked everything about him. It is worth noting that he met Gu Nian's mother when he was in school."

"Gu Nian's mother graduated from a college. At that time, her school was in the university town, near their school. After Gu Licheng graduated, he did not take the police exam, but took Gu Nian's mother back to Mu Lanshu's hometown of Yucheng. After that, he went out to work, while Mu Lanshu has been staying in Yucheng."

"It wasn't until two years later that Mu Lanshu became pregnant with Gu Nian. Later, Mu Lanshu suddenly told the outside world that Gu Licheng died in an accident while working outside. A funeral was held for Gu Licheng locally. Then Mu Lanshu came with Gu Nian City B."

Chu Zhaoyang opened the file: "Are there any photos of Gu Licheng?"

"Yes." He Haoran said, "I don't know why, but even his photos are hard to find. The police academy usually keeps the files and photos of graduating students, but his photos and files were also missing. After much searching, I found the original from one of his classmates who graduated with him did not work in the police department, but opened his own online store and became a Soho man. He had a photo of Gu Licheng in his hand, and he also put it inside."

Chu Zhaoyang rummaged through the document bag and took out a photo.

When Chu Zhaoyang saw the photo, he froze.

He held the photo, his whole body was cold, and the bone-chilling chill rushed from his heart to all his limbs.

Chu Zhaoyang held the photo tightly, raised his head, and looked at He Haoran: "Are you sure he is Gu Nian's father?"

"I'm sure." He Haoran nodded and looked at Chu Zhaoyang in confusion.

"I know, you can go out." Chu Zhaoyang said expressionlessly.

"Yes." He Haoran turned around and walked halfway when he heard Chu Zhaoyang calling him again.

He Haoran paused and turned around: "President?"

"Don't tell anyone about this." Chu Zhaoyang lowered his eyes so that He Haoran could not see his gaze clearly, "Including Gu Nian."

 "Yes."

After He Haoran went out, the photo of Chu Zhaoyang's fingertips fell on the table.

The person in the photo was indeed the same person as the person in the red-background ID photo in the document sent by anonymous courier.

Even if there were discrepancies between the daily life photos and the ID photos, it cannot be denied that they were the same person.

Chu Zhaoyang took out a blank piece of paper from the side and quickly wrote a set of numbers on it.

It was the tracking number of the express delivery that day.

Chu Zhaoyang looked up the logistics record of the tracking number from the Internet and entered the tracking number, but it showed that the tracking number did not exist at all.

Chu Zhaoyang took his hands off the keyboard, frowned and thought for a moment.

Then, he took out his phone and dialed a number: "I have something to ask you."

"What's the matter?" On the other end of the phone, Fang Boran was sitting on the carpet, holding the phone in one hand and paying attention to his little son with the other to prevent him from bumping into him.

Who would have thought that Fang Boran, the intelligence chief of Lanshan Compound, would be like this in private.

He had messy hair and half-open eyes, always looking like he could not wake up.

He was sitting on the carpet in an indistinct manner, coaxing his little son to play.

When he received the call from Chu Zhaoyang, he still looked so cynical.

"If I have received an express delivery, but no information can be found on the express delivery tracking number, does this mean that the express company did not enter it, or that the tracking number is simply fake?" Chu Zhaoyang asked in a deep voice.

Fang Boran lost his bored and sleepy look. It was rare for Chu Zhaoyang to speak long and complete like this. It seemed that the matter was not a big deal.

He sat upright slightly and said, "What's going on? Someone sent you a document?"

With Fang Boran's mind, he could naturally think of it quickly.

He has dealt with this kind of thing too much, so Chu Zhaoyang did not hide it from him: "Anonymous."

"This situation will not go through the hands of the express delivery company. Therefore, the other party is just pretending to be a courier. The order number is probably fake, and even the express delivery order is forged." Fang Boran crossed his legs, took his son into his arms.

The little baby held a ball that was as big as his face in his small hands and played with it in his arms.

With both hands unable to catch it, the ball flew away, but immediately bounced back.

It turned out that Fang Boran tied a rope to the ball and tied it around his youngest son's neck. No matter how he played, the ball would not fly far.

"Send me the express delivery note and I will check it for you." Fang Boran said.

No one dared to mess with Lanshan Courtyard recently, and he was a little bored.

After hanging up the phone, Chu Zhaoyang took a photo of the express delivery order and sent it to Fang Boran.

***

At the end of the day, Chu Zhaoyang's office door was knocked again.

Chu Zhaoyang raised his head, and as soon as he said "come in," the door opened.

At the door, a woman who looked mature and capable appeared.

A waisted camel cashmere coat, paired with over-the-knee boots, looks elegant and sophisticated.

Chu Zhaoyang was a little surprised, and the woman smiled slightly: "Senior, long time no see."

Chu Zhaoyang thought for a while and then remembered: "Ming Yutong."

"Should I be proud that you can still remember me?" Ming Yutong walked in and closed the office door.

"When did you come back?" Chu Zhaoyang pointed to the chair opposite the desk.

"Last week, I haven't been back for many years, and I'm not very familiar with things in the country. After I finished dealing with it, I went around to meet old friends." Ming Yutong explained.

"Meeting friends?" Chu Zhaoyang asked.

It seemed that Ming Yutong was already used to Chu Zhaoyang's way of speaking. Ming Yutong shook her head and said, "I'll stay here for a long time."

"Why do you want to come back?" He remembered that the Ming family's business abroad was going very well.

"It just so happens that this is why I came to you." Ming Yutong smiled and said, "Are you free? Let me treat you to a meal tonight and ask you for a favor."

Chu Zhaoyang raised his eyebrows but did not refuse.

Ming Yutong's relationship with him was better than usual, which was considered a very good relationship in his communication.

In addition, each other's grandfathers were old friends for many years, and they did meet often in the old house in the past, so Chu Zhaoyang didn't mind helping Ming Yutong if he could.

Chu Zhaoyang raised his wrist and checked the time, then stood up, took his coat, and left with Ming Yutong.

The two got out of the elevator and walked in the company's lobby, inevitably causing a sensation.

This was the first time Chu Zhaoyang has walked alone with a woman in the company.

It's not that there were no female customers, but every time, Chu Zhaoyang was always followed by several people, and he never walks alone with female customers.

This woman was obviously not a customer of the company.

Looking at her capable and confident appearance, she was also very elegant when walking beside Chu Zhaoyang. She walked with her head held high and had an enviable aura.
