Chapter 285: Lies Exposed

Today a friend's birthday, so I went along to hang out outside for a while. Well, I was just about to head back, by the way, regarding that work matter of mine, I really need to thank you properly.

Alright, it's just a small favor, and besides, they're all relatives, nothing much. Sigh, by the way, have any relatives come to see you lately?

Relatives? What relatives are you talking about? Besides, we only have these people, and they're already here now—what more relatives could there be?

Oh.

What's wrong? Anything going on?

Nothing much, alright, you should hurry back now—it's already this late, otherwise your dad will start worrying about you again.

Okay, I got it, you also hurry up and go. Right, when you get back, give Jing Shu my regards.

Okay, I understand.

After saying that, he watched her rise and leave, but at this moment, Xiao Yunzhe's heart began to fill with doubt.

This isn't right—Geng Jing Shu had clearly told me earlier that some relatives had come to her house and she needed to go eat with them.

If they really were relatives, then she would certainly be related to Geng Yu Er as well, so why didn't Geng Yu Er mention this?

Could there be some misunderstanding here?

Feeling something odd, Xiao Yunzhe got into his car and headed straight for the Geng family estate.

When he arrived at the Geng family manor, he glanced inside—it was pitch black—but at the spot where he parked outside, he didn't see Geng Jing Shu's car.

That shows Geng Jing Shu simply didn't come home tonight—indeed, she was lying to me.

Upon realizing this, he merely furrowed his brow, then took out his phone and dialed Geng Jing Shu's number.

After the line rang for a while, no one answered at all.

Just as Xiao Yunzhe was about to put his phone away, he didn't expect the call to come back quickly.

"Yunzhe, what's wrong? Is something up?"

"Nothing, I just noticed you're still out this late—aren't you not coming home tonight?"

"Yeah, I probably won't be able to go back tonight, and I've had a bit too much to drink—I'm already asleep at my place."

"Oh, okay, get some rest early, drink more water. Alright, if there's anything, we can talk tomorrow."

After saying that, he just hung up the phone directly.

He just let out a long sigh—it seems Geng Jing Shu really has started lying to me.

But where exactly she went—this Xiao Yunzhe could never figure out.

"What's wrong, dear?"

At this moment, Geng Jing Shu was already inside the Bin Guan.

Geng Jing Shu knew she had indeed made a very serious mistake today, but at the time it was just the alcohol numbing her, so she really hadn't thought much about it.

So she began to hurriedly put on her clothes.

"No, I have to leave now—just a moment ago, Yunzhe already called me."

"Oh, didn't you say you were at home? In the middle of the night, he couldn't possibly come to your house to look for you."

"I know, but I keep feeling I owe him something, and if I keep not going back, I'm afraid he'll eventually find out something."

"Alright, then go ahead—by the way, should I see you off?"

"No thanks, I'll go on my own—this way we'll both be more at ease."

"Jing Shu, could you think carefully about what I said?"

"My mind's all over the place right now, but once I've thought it through I'll naturally call you to get in touch. So leave it at that—if I don't call you, don't reach out to me first, got it?"

Geng Jing Shu quickly finished dressing, then stood before Zhao Yixuan and spoke to him solemnly.

"Don't worry—as long as you don't permit it, I will absolutely not disturb your life, just like the past few years."

"Alright, then that's settled."

After saying that, Geng Jing Shu left the Bin Guan without looking back.

Zhao Yixuan, who remained there, merely gave a faint smile, his face showing a expression hard to notice.

He picked up his phone, glanced at it, and indeed there were many missed calls.

So he took that phone number and dialed it directly.

"What's going on? I've been looking for you all night."

"Hehe, boss, if I really wanted to do this, wouldn't I have to go through all this? Do you really think I could get it just by moving my lips?"

"How about it—did that woman get the thing?"

"Don't worry, based on my understanding of her, she will definitely get it for me."

"Good, good, good—if you can get it, then that's naturally the best. By the way, where are you now?"

"Me? Naturally at the Bin Guan, what do you think?"

"Oh, I see—you little rascal, you really are something. Alright, I won't disturb your fun; we'll talk tomorrow when I'm back at the company."

After the other party said that, they just hung up the phone.

Zhao Yixuan reached out and took that ring back into his hand.

He now felt that, in fact, the authority was in his grasp—basically, many things were freely under his control.

Geng Jing Shu didn't go home; instead she went straight to her parents' place.

After all, the lie had already been spoken, so she had to go and put everything back as it was.

Xiao Yun Zhe spent the whole night in the study, something he had never been able to face.

The next morning when he got up, he glanced around the room and saw no sign of Xiao Ming.

That also proves Xiao Ming probably didn't come back last night either.

He knew that Xiao Ming these past two days, because of these matters, had truly been filled with worry, and really didn't know how to respond.

Just as he had guessed, Xiao Ming too was now betting everything, placing all his hopes on Xing Ya Company.

However, according to the current situation, it shows that this Zong Long is still a behind-the-scenes mastermind; but, he is not clear whether this move of his should be made or not.

General Manager Xiao, you need to think of a way; now, these people have already come to us, and they are also giving us a final deadline, one after another.

What? Do you still want to go ahead with forced execution?

But General Manager Xiao, if we keep going like this, we won't be able to dodge it either.
