The paranoid boss always tries to trick me

Chapter 171 What Are You Hiding

"How about it?"

Song Yunrou hurriedly made a phone call, holding the mouse tightly with the other hand.

Mu Han's lazy voice came from the phone: "I have asked the mysterious person to call Gu Wanran, what do you want to do next?"

"This is my business, I don't need to tell you." Song Yunrou breathed a sigh of relief and hung up the phone directly.

She operates the computer, making contact with the person on the other end.

The next day, Gu Wanran came to the company early, waiting for what the mysterious man said.

Uncle Liu looked a bit out of spirit, with sunken eye sockets, and he was not very energetic in doing things.

Gu Wanran poured him a cup of coffee, and said with concern: "Uncle Liu, are you okay, if you don't feel well, go and rest, I'll help you ask for leave."

"No, I'm fine." Uncle Liu forced a smile, "Go back and do your work, I just helped Xiao Liang with his homework last night, and I didn't sleep well."

"Okay, then you take a rest, I'll go back to work first."

Seeing him drink the coffee, Gu Wanran's eyes became clearer before returning to work.

Shen Yunlan whispered beside him: "When I came in the morning, I saw Uncle Liu was on the phone with someone, and his expression was very nervous. Maybe something really happened. You should pay more attention."

Gu Wanran nodded calmly, recalling what the mysterious man said, she couldn't help feeling a little nervous, afraid that they would attack Uncle Liu.

The whole day passed very peacefully, Gu Wanran didn't encounter any troubles, and the intersection with Jiang Yuechen was only to exchange the formula of soap with him.

Is it just a boring harassing phone call?

The doubts in Gu Wanran's heart gradually disappeared.

After get off work, she stayed in the office and continued to study the materials. When she looked up, she found that Uncle Liu hadn't left. He was sitting there in a daze, his eyes were red, and he didn't know what he was thinking.

She frowned, walked over and patted Uncle Liu on the shoulder: "Uncle Liu, are you okay, what happened?"

Uncle Liu seemed to be frightened, and his reaction was very strong. He stood up in panic, and after seeing clearly that it was Gu Wanran, his condition gradually improved.

"What happened?" Gu Wanran asked him.

Uncle Liu's eyes were red again, and there were tears in the corners of his eyes: "Don't ask, go home quickly."

"Uncle Liu!" Gu Wanran held his arm, "What's going on? We've known each other for so many years, and I've always regarded you as my elder. You wouldn't want to hide it from me, would you?"

Uncle Liu sat down on the chair, hugged his head and began to cry: "I'm sorry, but, I'm really sorry..."

"Why are you apologizing to me? What happened?"

Uncle Liu touched his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Yes...it's Jiang Yuechen, he kidnapped my child, asked me to be an undercover agent by your side, told him everything about you, and asked me to wait a month Then leave you..."

Gu Wanran's lips trembled slightly, and the words of the mysterious man involuntarily appeared in his mind.

She held Uncle Liu's shoulders and asked him to look at her: "Uncle Liu, are you sure it was Jiang Yuechen who did it?"

Uncle Liu nodded painfully: "What did I lie to you about? Jiang Yuechen told me personally."

"Of course..." He held Gu Wanran's hand, "I know you may not believe me, but I...I..."

"I believe you, Uncle Liu, I believe you won't lie to me." Gu Wanran held his shoulders with tears in her eyes, feeling uncomfortable in her heart, "Of course I trust you between you and Jiang Yuechen. Go to him and ask for your son."

"Don't go!" Uncle Liu grabbed Gu Wanran's arm in fear, "He won't let me tell this matter, if you go to him now, won't you push me into the fire pit?"

"What should I do?"

"It's only a month anyway, just bear with it."

Uncle Liu forced a smile and wiped away the tears on his face: "Okay, don't talk about it, if Jiang Yuechen finds out later, my son will be in danger."

"Uncle Liu..."

"Hey, be obedient. I'm fine. Don't stand up for me. Just let's endure this month together. You should be careful when you do things, so I don't have to report anything about you to Mr. Jiang."

"A month later, do you really want to leave?"

Uncle Liu didn't speak, he lowered his head in silence, staring blankly at his palm, not knowing what he was thinking about.

Gu Wanran sighed slightly, and stopped forcing him: "I understand, I won't be troublesome, and I won't make things difficult for you, Uncle Liu."

She helped Uncle Liu pack his things: "Hurry up and go home, Auntie may be in a hurry too, go and accompany her."

"Of course...thank you, Uncle is sorry for you." Uncle Liu took the bag and stood up with tears in his eyes, "I'm leaving first, don't stay too late, call me if you miss the subway, I know ?"

Gu Wanran nodded with a smile: "I see, you should go back quickly."

Uncle Liu wiped away his tears and left the office with his briefcase.

Gu Wanran was the only one left in the empty office.

She sat quietly on the office chair, playing with a pen in her hand, and many messy thoughts flashed through her mind.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

Gu Wanran raised his head to look at the door, and saw Jiang Yuechen standing there fully dressed and carrying a bag.

"doing what?"

His eyes swept across Gu Wanran's empty table, the meaning was self-evident.

"Think about something." Gu Wanran said.

"Come out and go home."

The consistent command words, if it was normal, Gu Wanran might listen to him and go home with him.

But after hearing about Uncle Liu today, she just didn't want to go back with Jiang Yuechen.

Therefore, she shook her head and refused, "I'll get to work right away, Mr. Jiang, go back first, I can go back by myself at night."

Jiang Yuechen frowned, stared coldly at Gu Wanran for a moment, then turned and left.

Gu Wanran breathed a sigh of relief, sat on the chair, silently in a daze.

After some time, her cell phone rang, and it was the mysterious number from last night again.

She picked it up and put it next to her ear: "What's the matter?"

The mysterious man smiled and said, "How is it? I didn't lie to you, can we have a good talk about it now?"

Gu Wanran said lightly: "Before that, let me ask a few questions, how did you know about this?"

She deliberately concealed specific things and let the mysterious person answer.

The person on the phone said patiently: "As I said, I know everything about Jiang Yuechen. This is not a lie. When he sent someone to kidnap Uncle Liu's son, my people happened to see it."

He really knows what's going on.

Gu Wanran asked again: "Can you rescue the person?"

"can."

There is even a kind of oath-like heaviness in the extremely firm words.

This tone...

A thought suddenly flashed in Gu Wanran's mind, but she didn't catch it, but the sense of familiarity became more and more heavy.

There was a moment of silence on the phone, and the mysterious man's voice suddenly became a bit sharp: "But I won't help you save it, unless you agree to my request and are willing to go with me to deal with Jiang Yuechen."

Gu Wanran said lightly: "I won't agree. In my opinion, people are safe with Jiang Yuechen in a sense, but if it falls into your hands, it may not be so."

The mysterious man laughed: "But at the very least, you're starting to doubt Jiang Yuechen now, aren't you?"

Gu Wanran frowned.

Indeed, today's events, coupled with the phone call from the mysterious person last night, made Gu Wanran suspicious of Jiang Yuechen.

But thinking about it carefully, from the very beginning, Jiang Yuechen did not hide his dislike and hatred for her. She was so eager to seek proof like now, which also proved that her heart was indeed shaken, and she gradually regarded Jiang Yuechen as one of her own.

That doesn't bode well.

Gu Wanran took a deep breath, and calmly said to the mysterious person: "I should thank you for letting me wake up again, but other than that, we have nothing to talk about. Goodbye, please don't call me again."

She directly hung up the phone and blocked it, and she didn't seem to want to explore the identity of the mysterious person.

After packing up her things, she walked out of the office and walked all the way outside. At this time, Jiang Yuechen's car was still parked outside, and Shen Shi was standing at the window talking to Jiang Yuechen.

Gu Wanran was stunned for a moment, as if she didn't understand, she walked straight past, not wanting Shen Shi to call her back: "Gu Wanran, come here."

With a pause in her footsteps, Gu Wanran had no choice but to turn around and walk over there.

Jiang Yuechen sat in the car and looked at her coldly: "Aren't you going to do something?"

It was less than half an hour since Jiang Yuechen went downstairs.

Gu Wanran didn't make a sound.

Although she still looks obedient, she is covered with thorns all over her body, silently expressing her protest and dissatisfaction.

"Get in the car." Jiang Yuechen ordered.

Shen Shi took two steps back to give Gu Wanran room to get in the car, she hesitated for a moment, then went to open the door and got in the car.

Shen Shi said outside: "I will investigate this matter, and if I have any news, I will tell you."

Jiang Yuechen nodded lightly, and pushed the car window up.

"drive."

As soon as the cold voice fell, the driver started the car and drove forward.

Jiang Yuechen stared down at the woman beside him: "Did someone say something to you recently?"

Gu Wanran shook his head.

"For example... your Uncle Liu?"

A chill suddenly spread from his hands and feet, Gu Wanran was finally willing to face him squarely, and said calmly: "No, Uncle Liu and I usually only have some simple exchanges, which are all about trivial matters in life, and we care about each other a few words, I hope Mr. Jiang will not misunderstand him. "

"What do you think I misunderstood him?" Jiang Yuechen keenly caught the point of her words.

Gu Wanran opened her mouth, and finally closed it in silence, shaking her head and not speaking.

Annoyance flashed across Jiang Yuechen's eyes, he stretched out his arms, pinched the back of Gu Wanran's neck with his slender fingers: "Say, what are you hiding?"

"I didn't." Thinking of Uncle Liu's advice, Gu Wanran insisted, "I didn't hide anything from you, I just thought about my father, and I'm afraid that you will attack Uncle Liu."

Jiang Yuechen's strength increased, and Gu Wanran felt a pain in the back of his neck.

She gritted her teeth and said in a slow tone: "Mr. Jiang, what else can I hide from your eyes? I'm just afraid that something will happen to the people around me. I've been thinking about how to talk to you about this for the past few days. I hope you will never take any action against Uncle Liu, and let him spend the rest of his life with his family in peace."

The tension on the back of the neck gradually eased, Jiang Yuechen put his arms on Gu Wanran's shoulders, and slightly warned: "As long as you keep your head, I won't move them."
