Chapter 268: Late-night rendezvous

"Peipei, no matter how you say it, this matter really has wronged you."

"All right, General Manager Xiao, it's not a big deal; as long as I can help you sort these things out, there shouldn't be any major problem."

"Okay, I got it. Tell me what you'd like to eat? Tonight, I'll make proper arrangements for you."

"Xiao Ming also felt that Liu Peipei had also made a contribution in this matter."

"So, when speaking, he also became much more polite."

"At this moment, Zong Mengni in the company has been constantly thinking about this matter."

"She always felt that Zong Long's every move over the past two days was mysterious and secretive."

"Moreover, it seemed as if there was something being deliberately concealed from her."

"He now seems able to guess that there must be something going on here."

"However, if Zong Long doesn't speak, letting her figure these things out alone would truly be very difficult."

"It wasn't until nine o'clock in the evening that Zong Mengni finally got up and left the company."

"She saw that all the offices were now dark, with basically no colleagues left behind."

"Miss Zong, why haven't you left yet?"

"Just then, suddenly he heard a voice coming from straight ahead, so he glanced over in that direction."

"Director Zhang, why are you coming by at this time?"

"Hey, speaking of which, yesterday I made that card for the new person but forgot to bring it, and if I don't give it to them tomorrow morning, they won't even be able to get through the door, so I hurriedly took it down and tossed it at the guard post."

"New person? When did the company hire a new person?"

"Oh, Miss Zong, it's actually nothing; we just found an assistant in the office, but I feel our company's hiring standards are also getting higher."

"What do you mean?"

"When I saw this person's education background, I was also shocked—it's the famous Finance Academy, and they graduated as a top student."

"A top graduate in finance from the Finance Academy coming here to work as an assistant—may I see his files?"

"Miss Zong, you're interested in this? Alright, come with me, I'll get it for you."

"Saying that, Director Zhang directly brought Zong Mengni into this office."

"Liu Peipei only came these past two days, so her files happened to be laid out on the desk, and he then handed a copy to him."

"He took it and glanced at it; it read 'Liu Peipei' in three characters, but this woman indeed seemed familiar to him."

"How is this?"

"What's wrong, Miss Zong? Do you know her?"

"It's nothing, I don't know her. Alright, Director Zhang, you'd better get busy; I need to hurry home, or else I'll be late again."

"Saying that, Zong Mengni merely found an excuse and then hurriedly left."

"Her mind kept conjuring the image of that woman; to be honest, she had seen this person before—indeed, this person was the woman who had been by Zong Ming's side."

"Now, the woman by Xiao Ming's side has already come to the company; it's obvious that Xiao Ming should be investigating his own company."

"So now, what has he found out? What has he grasped? And how should all this be answered?"

"Zong Mengni's heart began to feel some worry."

"Could it really be that we're supposed to keep covering up this matter?"

"One is his lifesaver, the other is his biological father—this makes him indeed feel it's hard to choose."

"But after weighing the options, Zong Mengni still feels she should side with her biological father, after all, her biological father has given her the grace of raising her."

"As for Xiao Ming, she can only later think of other ways to compensate him, which would also be considered doing her utmost."

"After thinking this through, Zong Mengni drove her own car and left the company."

"While walking on the road, while waiting for the red light, she glanced back and saw a person crossing the zebra crossing in front of her."

"She felt that the person in front of her was indeed somewhat familiar."

"She took a careful look—this isn't, isn't that the person who took her away that day?"

"How could that bright big shot appear on this street now? And if he does appear now, what does that mean?"

"When Zong Mengni thought of this, she still felt a shiver run through her body, because the events of that day remain vivid in her memory."

"In the blink of an eye, she saw that man walk into the restaurant across the way, and finally sit down directly at a spot by the window."

"Zong Mengni parked her car at the roadside, then after observing for a while she discovered that, sitting near the window side, there were about four or five people, and three of them were the ones who had kidnapped her that day."

"How brazen have they become now? Moreover, at this time, they actually dare to come out for food and drink?"

"Zong Mengni really can't make sense of this, but she also doesn't know who to turn to."

"She first thought of Xiao Yunzhe, feeling that... this matter perhaps only Xiao Yunzhe could help you."

"After the phone rang a few times, Xiao Yunzhe quickly answered."

"At this moment, Xiao Yunzhe was at home, discussing some other issues with Geng Jing Shu."

"After hearing the phone ring, he picked up his mobile, walked to the side, and answered the call."

"Hey, what's wrong, Miss Zong?"

"Yun, Yunzhe, you, you where are you now?"

"As he listened to Zong Mengni speaking, her voice seemed to tremble a bit."

"Xiao Yunzhe still didn't understand what had happened."

"I'm at home now; go ahead and say, is there something?"

"That day, the three people who kidnapped me—I've now seen them, but I'm not entirely sure if they're the same, because the lighting was dark back then; could you come over and help me identify them?"

"What are you saying? You saw them? Where are they?"

"I'm now at the very start of Zhongshan Road; over here there's a Zhongshan Cafe, and I'm right at the entrance."

"While saying that, he glanced around; to be honest, she rarely comes to this place, so she's not very familiar with it."

Okay, then wait for me, I'll come over right now.

After saying that, Xiao Yunzhe, in his haste, directly hung up the phone.

What's wrong? Is something the matter?
