Chapter 258: Harboring Doubt

I never expected that this matter would be arranged so flawlessly, and moreover, all of his subsidiary companies have now been sealed off.

Good, that's really great; if that's the case, then we should think of ways to speed up the acquisition of us.

Exactly, he only needs to acquire our company entirely, then our goal will be achieved; if he later wants to back out, he'll probably have to shed a layer of skin.

Hehe, I said before, this plan for us is absolutely problem-free.

Several people here are chatting and laughing happily, and it seems they've handled all of this matters flawlessly.

At this moment, Zong Mengni happened to be passing by here, but she suddenly heard laughter and voices coming from inside.

She frowned suspiciously; the company has come to this point, why is her father still so happy?

She was about to reach out her hand when, suddenly, she saw Zong Long's secretary walking toward her.

Ah, Miss Zong, what are you doing here?

After the secretary finished saying that, Zong Mengni slowly lowered her hand.

Inside, Zong Long seemed to have already realized all of this.

He suddenly reached out and pointed inside; shortly after, the two foreigners slipped out through a hidden door here.

Immediately after, the big door was flung open.

Mengni, what's wrong?

He said this quite naturally.

Zong Mengni merely frowned suspiciously, then glanced inside.

This isn't right; there's absolutely no one in this room.

Dad, you, is there nobody in your room?

What person? I've been in here all along; how, did you hear something?

Dad, just now I was listening inside, and it sounded like someone was speaking.

Hehe, there's no talking at all; I think you're having auditory hallucinations—maybe sounds from other offices are making you think it's my office.

Oh, so there's nobody after all.

While speaking, Zong Mengni still seemed a bit doubtful, but he still pushed open the door and walked in.

He turned back and glanced; the room was indeed empty, and it really seemed there was nobody present.

I ask you, what's wrong with you? If you're feeling unwell, you should hurry home.

Nothing much; maybe I've been too nervous these past two days, actually hearing that you seem to have people talking and laughing inside the house.

Mengni, I also know that actually many things you shouldn't have to bear, but you've borne too much pain you shouldn't have, so Dad also feels truly sorry for you.

Dad, you don't need to say these; these are things I should face together with you.

Hehe, good, Mengni, it seems you've really grown up; alright, there's nothing today, hurry back home, Dad still has other matters to handle here.

Okay, I understand.

After Zong Mengni finished speaking, she nodded, then turned around preparing to leave here.

Just after leaving, he merely glanced over there and was surprised to discover that an ashtray had appeared on that sofa spot.

Although the ashtray contains nothing, that thing shouldn't be placed in that position.

You should know, Zong Long never smokes, and under normal circumstances he also never lets others smoke in his office.

If that's the case, then why would this ashtray be placed here?

This indeed has him lost in thought, and he always feels that the things in here are strange and odd, not as simple as imagined.

While thinking about these things all along, unconsciously he had already arrived at the garage.

Zong Mengni glanced at the time; it's already six o'clock in the afternoon.

He doesn't know what Xiao Yunzhe is doing at this time; moreover, she today from the news also heard that the Xiao Family side has indeed had some incidents.

So Zong Mengni picked up the phone and directly called Xiao Yunzhe.

No matter what, this also counts as his lifesaver; at this time, if the lifesaver encounters any problem, then he certainly wouldn't feel good inside.

After the phone rang a few times, unexpectedly Xiao Yunzhe answered the call so quickly.

Hello, Miss Zong, what's wrong? Is there something?

Oh, nothing; I just saw the news today, it seems your company had some incidents; you, you're alright, right?

Hehe, nothing, just a small matter; believe it will pass soon; don't believe what those reporters reported.

Oh, I know that; you, you're really alright?

Really, I really am fine; what's wrong with you?

Oh, nothing; I was just worried you might have something; well, since there's nothing, that's best; then, I won't bother you.

Miss Zong, you, you do have something, right?

No, no, I really have nothing; okay, if there's anything, or if you need help, you must call me, you know?

Okay, I know.

Even Xiao Yunzhe doesn't know how his relationship with Zong Mengni has suddenly become so familiar.

After hanging up, Xiao Yunzhe was holding his phone, and here he also spent half a day.

He really has no idea why Zong Mengni's call came.

Moreover, is it simply her wanting to show concern for me, or is it really just out of sympathy passing by, or is it gratitude, that's why she made this call?

This, he can't figure out; after all, Xiao Yunzhe's acquaintance with this Zong Mengni is really very slight, and before, there basically wasn't much connection.

All the way until late night approached, he picked up his phone to check the time; now it's already ten o'clock at night.

In the meantime, he didn't leave the office, and merely listened to the outside corridor, which remained utterly quiet.

He didn't dare disturb Xiao Ming, because he knew Xiao Ming at this time was surely harried, many things he didn't know how to handle.

Just then, he heard the sound of a door opening from over there, and then he heard footsteps.
