Chapter 323: Chapter 324 A Bouquet of Sunflowers
“We can’t use words to prove whether he is that kind of person or not, we need evidence to prove it. The current situation is that the people who smashed your company said that their employer is him. Whether it was a setup or they accidentally exposed their employer’s name, we all need this Chu Nan to help with the police investigation. We need to ask him a few questions before we can make any conclusion.” Chief Yang said irritably. He was running out of his patience, “Miss Mo, I think you are deliberately harboring Chu Nan. But this will not help him, but harm him. If he really has nothing to do with this matter, let him come forward and explain clearly. Avoiding it will only make people feel that he was even more suspicious.”
Mo Fei still had that cold look, “it was my Mo family’s company that was smashed, it was like smashing my own home. Do I have a reason to harbor the real criminal? I’m just telling you that the direction of your suspicion is wrong.”
A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Zhang Mingjie’s face, and there was a strange light flashed in his eyes. Obviously, the words ‘Mo Family’s Company’ made him feel uncomfortable to a certain extent.
He was also the younger generation of Fengchang, the new force of Fengchang. However, he was far inferior to Mo Fei in terms of talent and prestige. This could be seen at a glance from the admiration the two senior executives showed when Mo Fei talked. This was a test of Zhang Mingjie’s self-esteem, and the unnaturalness on his face told me that he still had self-esteem, and at this moment, his self-esteem was hurt.
I coughed slightly, but it was enough to make those who were concentrating on arguing notice me.
Yao Waner was surprised, “Elder Brother Nan? !”
I could clearly see that Mo Fei’s shoulders trembled as if she was startled by my voice.
“Elder Sister Liu, Wan’er, good morning,” I did not greet Song Jia, but habitually flicked her forehead like before, then smiled and greeted Zhang Mingjie, “deputy general manager Zhang is here too, haha, I just heard someone mention my name. So, was it you? What were you saying about me?”
Zhang Mingjie knew that I was trying to make fun of him, so he chuckled and said vaguely, “ah, yeah…”
Like this guy, Mo Fei’s eyes were also fixed on the hands of Liusu that were holding my arm. The cold and indifferent look she had just shown disappeared immediately. Instead, it was replaced with a trace of surprise, a trace of jealousy, and a bit of anger.
“Chu Nan, who asked you to come back?” Mo Fei stood up suddenly, making no secret of her anger at Liusu, “Liusu, didn’t I tell you not to ask him to come back to the company?”
“I…” Liusu felt aggrieved. She glared at me fiercely and then turned to Mo Fei and said in a huff, “if you are that competent, why can’t you call him yourself?”
Probably Liusu felt that it was all my fault that she was scolded by Mo Fei, or maybe she was jealous because she could sense Mo Fei’s jealousy, she was full of resentment. She even forgot the basic manner. Not only did she not show any kind of respect that she should have when talking to a superior, but there was even a trace of mockery in her tone when she said those words.
‘Why does this feel like a fight between a wife and a mistress?’ I smiled bitterly. Although I didn’t know who was like a wife or a mistress, the attitude of those two women could be seen by everyone around me. It caused many people to look at me disdainfully.
Mo Fei’s face flushed, but she neither refuted nor clarified what Liusu had just said. Seeing her ambiguous attitude I knew this would not go well. Sure enough, Liusu’s face changed, and her fingers pinched the tender meat on my arm even more fiercely.
Mo Fei also saw it, but not only did she not feel guilty, but she also showed a smug smile. I was taken aback. I felt like I had seen a pair of devil’s wings fluttering on her back. This woman was really scary…
After taking another glance at the police chief, Mo Fei turned around and said to me, “since you are here, follow me to the office, I have something that I want to tell you.”
Seeing this, not just Chief Yang was stunned, I was also a little bit shocked. She had completely ignored the police.
Chief Yang stood up and blocked me. He stretched out his hand in a friendly manner, but his suspicious eyes were not very friendly, “Hello, Mr. Chu. We’ve met before. I’m from the local police station, it was me who dealt with the conflict between you and Mr. Zhang before…”
I looked at Dong Xiaoye. After Dong Xiaoye nodded at me, I finally realized who he was. No wonder I felt that I had seen this police chief before.
After Chief Yang nodded at Dong Xiaoye to greet her, he directly asked me, “Mr. Chu, I have a few questions that I want to ask you. Do you know what happened here in the morning?”
Before I even answered, Mo Fei replied angrily, “Chief Yang, what are you doing!? Do you still think that Chu Nan is the person you are looking for? How many times do I have to tell you that Chu Nan has nothing to do with this matter? He is the biggest victim!”
While I felt grateful for Mo Fei’s trust, I also couldn’t help but feel a little bit uncomfortable. Because the way she behaved would only strengthen other people’s misunderstanding. The two senior executives of the company shook their heads and sighed; Song Jia was shocked; Elder Sister Liu frowned; Yao Wan’er snickered; Dong Xiaoye had a disdainful look on her face, and Liusu almost wanted to break my arm…
The meaning of her action was so obvious. Was Mo Fei not afraid of other people laughing at her?
I had extorted a large sum of money from Zhang Mingjie last time, this Chief Yang knew about it, so I could understand why he would suspect me, and I didn’t blame him for having this preconceived suspicion. After all, in his mind, I was not a good person at all…
“What happened? Isn’t that obvious?” I glanced at the messy lobby, and said to Chief Yang, “Fengchang’s lobby was smashed by someone, and the people who did it left a message saying that I hired them to do it…”
“Chu Nan!” Mo Fei glared at me angrily and signaled me to stop speaking.
“It’s okay,” I shook my head at Mo Fei, and smiled, “I’m here just to clarify, I didn’t do it, and I don’t have any reason to do it.”
My nonchalant answer had no effect on Chief Yang. His facial expression didn’t change at all. Instead, he carried on, “but according to our investigation, you have the motivation to commit the crime, because you were fired from… ”
“I don’t know where you got the information from, but strictly speaking, it was my own choice to leave Fengchang. I wasn’t fired, but resigned from Fengchang,” I said to Chief Yang. “I have my reason not to continue working for Fengchang, and I feel very guilty for leaving the company who hired me when I just graduated from the university. So there is no reason for me to do this at all.”
I needed to express my attitude clearly, not to the police chief, but to Mo Fei and Liusu. One person can not enjoy the love of two women at the same time. If the ambiguity continued, it would only cause harm to everyone.
Liusu looked at me shyly, feeling moved, Mo Fei looked at me coldly, feeling slightly resentful.
I felt awkward, very awkward. Although I didn’t want to harm anyone, my answer always seemed to hurt Mo Fei…
. . .
The bouquet of sunflowers was left by the gangsters who smashed the lobby of Fengchang. The message they left was: “this bouquet of sunflowers is a gift from Chu Nan to Mo Yizhi. He wishes that there will be more light in Fengchang in the future.”
‘Damn, I didn’t expect this group of gangsters to be so smart to leave a riddle as a message…’
I was innocent, but most people in the company believed that I was not innocent. When a group of gangsters smashed the company lobby and left a ‘meaningful’ message, at least more than half of them felt that I did it. And when I came to the company and was taken to a room by the police for questioning, this group of people expanded rapidly, as if no one would believe me except for a few good colleagues in the general operation team.
No wonder Mo Fei and Liusu tried their best to prevent me from returning to the company. They didn’t doubt me, but knew that no one would believe me…
Chu Nan had a reason to do this because he was a two-timer. He had an intimate relationship with both Cheng Liusu and Mo Fei, that was why he was fired by the chairman personally. Brother Wei told me that this was the latest rumor that was spreading in the company after the Crouching Dragon Mountain Resort incident. He also asked me quite literally whether I had actually admitted my relationship with Mo Fei in public.
Brother Wei obviously suspected me. Even so, when he heard someone say bad things about me secretly, he had a fight with that person without hesitation. In the end, he was pulled away by the police. He said that it was not that he didn’t believe that I was a two-timer. He just didn’t believe that I would hire someone to smash Fengchang.
It could be seen that because of the ambiguous relationship between me, Liusu, and Mo Fei, although everyone did not say anything, in fact, they still had some opinions in their hearts. When a certain aspect of a person’s character was questioned, then everything about that person would be questioned.
This was irrational, but it was also a fact. But at the moment, I didn’t know how to explain my relationship with Mo Fei at all, because I know that when I explained clearly to others, I would definitely hurt Mo Fei. I believed that I was not a person worthy of Mo Fei’s love, but I also could not accept that she would be ridiculed by others because of this.
She was a proud woman. She definitely would not be able to take it.
