Chapter 276: What came to mind?

Okay, then I understand, leader, then I won't disturb your rest. Take a look, this is my business card. If there's anything, you can call me anytime, I'll come right over.

As he spoke, he took out a business card from his pocket and placed it in front of him.

Okay, I understand, then you go ahead and be busy.

The two people's conversation went relatively smoothly, and afterward Xiao Ming followed the assistant and hurriedly left the hospital.

General Manager Xiao, what did you say in there? Moreover, I feel your stay wasn't very short.

At the time I just wanted to figure out what exactly happened during the incident; it was indeed a premeditated matter, and step by step they lured it into a trap.

What? Premeditated? We already said that earlier—it is indeed premeditated, but the key question is how he did it.

He first used a child's voice to attract the leader, and of course he exploited the leader's special circumstance.

Special circumstance?

Yes, because he could hear things others couldn't, so they lured him alone up, then placed some items on the elevator, and step by step drew him onto the elevator.

What was placed?

Supposedly, it was a pencil case used by a child.

A child's pencil case? That doesn't make sense; after the elevator fell, they didn't find that item.

Right, we were just discussing this inside; it seems someone tampered with it.

That means someone at the scene, taking advantage of the chaos, hid that thing, so it wouldn't raise suspicion from others.

Right, so I've been guessing that this person is probably Guo Xiaoming.

Guo Xiaoming, Guo Xiaoming—now all the problems point to Guo Xiaoming; it seems we really need to question him thoroughly.

Him? Do you think even if we interrogate him we could get anything out? If he refuses to speak, what could we possibly ask?

But if we don't question him, it seems we have no breakthrough at all, after all, he's the one directly handling this matter.

I'm now suspecting the other party—just who is that person? I estimate Guo Xiaoming himself might not even know.

You mean there's also no connection between them?

That's right; it's very likely just a remote operation, and if I were to do this, I'd absolutely leave no trace in front of Guo Xiaoming.

The assistant didn't continue speaking; this was like a huge problem, trapping all of them here at once.

Then General Manager Xiao, according to your opinion, does this mean we're truly at a loss this time?

It's not that there's no way; I just don't believe they could make this so concealed.

General Manager Xiao, have you thought of something?

Never mind that for now, let's go, first back to the company.

Okay.

The assistant didn't speak, then turned the direction and drove the car straight into the company.

At this moment, Zong Mengni returned to the company and simply handled some daily business.

After returning from abroad, she seemed never to have truly rested, and each time she felt great pressure.

Zong Mengni had just stopped when her mind immediately conjured up the scene of yesterday being with Xiao Yunzhe.

It's really strange—why, when she's with him, does she end up so happy?

But upon returning to the company and facing these tasks, she felt as if she were overwhelmed.

Just then, the phone on her desk rang, so Zong Mengni picked it up.

Hello, this is Zong Mengni.

Miss Zong, there's a contract payment here that needs your verification.

Contract payment? Which contract payment?

Miss Zong, you forgot? Earlier we ordered that event; now they've sent over these payments, but they sent cash and didn't go through a bank account.

Nonsense, after all these days, why not go through a bank account? Why must they bring over this cash?

Miss Zong, I, I'm not sure either; they said that if they went through an account, it would indeed be somewhat inconvenient.

Alright, bring those contracts and payments to the office; later I'll have finance handle it.

Okay, I understand.

After saying that, the other party hung up; Zong Mengni just shook her head helplessly.

Soon, the door there was knocked, and then an assistant-like person walked straight in.

He was holding a black box in his hand, and then he placed the box in front of him.

Alright, you go out first; I'll handle this matter.

Okay, Miss Zong, if there's anything, please call me promptly.

After speaking, he left; Zong Mengni opened the box and glanced inside—this box full of money now lay before her.

After so many years, he really rarely sees this much cash; after all, many things are settled directly via transfer.

He took out the money and gave it a quick look; actually, regarding the authenticity of money, he really isn't very skilled at it.

Perhaps we should send this money to finance, have them carefully verify the amount; if there's no problem, we can accept it.

Zong Mengni took out the contract and looked at it; the contract amount shown should be 200,000.

Obviously, this 200,000 in cash should all be here.

She took out her phone, preparing to call the finance director, but just then Zong Mengni suddenly seemed to think of something.

So she turned around, took out those brand-new RMB, and held them under her nose to smell.

Exactly, it has this smell; the last time he smelled it in a bag was the same, and it's completely identical.

Originally, he'd always felt this smell was familiar; it turns out this is actually the smell of money.

That proves that the bag back then contained money.

But why would they put money in that bag? Also, where did that money come from at the time?
