As soon as Chen Fei finished speaking, the other end of the line was suddenly cut off with a click.

Lu Mengxin held the microphone in silence for a while, feeling uneasy.

He didn't dare to think too much, changed his clothes, picked up the key and rushed out.

With the chilly spring, Lu Mengxin drove to the downstairs of Fade Chen's house alone.

The low building was pitch-black, and the huge glass windows concealed the calm of the night.

Lu Mengxin sat in the car for a while, smoked a cigarette, thought over and over again, but was still uneasy, so he simply turned off the ignition, extinguished the cigarette, turned and walked towards the door of the low building.

When we reached the second floor, it was pitch black. Lu Mengxin stood in front of the door and hesitated for a moment, then raised his hand and gently knocked on the door panel.

For a long time, there was silence in the room, and the only response to him was the sound of the engine of the car starting outside the corridor.

Lu Mengxin just felt that something was wrong at the moment, and slammed the door panel heavily, and said loudly: "Xiao Fei! Are you inside? It's me... Open the door quickly!"

His call was not answered immediately, just when Lu Mengxin lost his patience and was about to lift his legs to leave, there was a "click—" in the darkness, and the door was opened from the inside.

"Mongo."

Fade Chen hid half of his body behind the door, revealing a pair of empty and lifeless eyes, with a terrified expression on his face, he couldn't believe it when he saw the person coming, he called his name in a low voice, and moved away after a while Make way.

Lu Mengxin rushed in almost at the same time. Seeing that Fade Chen was at home, his hanging heart was relieved.

"Are you okay? Why don't you turn on the light?" Lu Mengxin let out a sigh of relief, and turned on the switch on the side of the gate.

The room suddenly brightened up, and he looked up at Fade Chen again, and couldn't help but take a deep breath——

"You, why is your face..." Lu Mengxin was speechless in surprise.

The corners of Chen Fei's mouth were bruised, his cheeks were bulging, his right eye was swollen into a large piece, and the blood on the eyelid had not faded away, and the bright red covered it, which was shocking.

Lu Mengxin immediately closed the door, pulled the man to a corner, his heart was moved, and he asked again: "Is there a medicine box at home? Hurry up and apply ice cubes to reduce the swelling. No... You still have to go to the hospital with your appearance like this. Let's go...my car is downstairs..." He was pulling Fade Chen to go out while talking.

Fade Chen bit his lip and grabbed his arm, shook his head, and explained: "It's useless, Brother Meng... I won't go to the hospital, this small injury can be healed at home for two days."

Lu Mengxin was in a hurry, and cursed: "What stupid words! Do you know what you look like now?!" Looking at Fade Chen's unbelievable appearance, Lu Mengxin knew his nature, his heart softened, and he restrained himself Tempered, persuaded: "Listen to Brother Meng, you have to go to the hospital to see what you say like this, Xiaofei..."

Fade Chen still insisted, "Brother Meng, don't worry about me, I'll recuperate by myself... I can think of a way."

Lu Mengxin was silent for a moment, thinking about it, and finally came to the point of the problem.

He asked Fade Chen: "Who the hell? Who beat you up like this?"

Fade Chen gritted his teeth tightly and did not speak.

"Are you going to let me watch you being bullied to the top?" Lu Mengxin looked at Fade Chen's appearance, and wished he could find an explanation right away, "Xiao Fei, don't be afraid...you tell Brother Meng, Brother Meng Call the shots for you."

When Fade Chen heard these words, he finally couldn't hold back anymore, and tears poured out like a flood that opened the gate.

Lu Mengxin patted his shoulder trying to comfort him, opened his mouth, but couldn't say a decent word.

Fade Chen sobbed for a long time before revealing the truth, "It's Zhao Zixiang and Gao Jinyang...it's those people..."

When Lu Mengxin heard the names of those two people, he felt mixed emotions, and countless possibilities flashed through his mind...

Early on Monday morning, Lu Mengxin received a notice from Wen Xianting that he would follow Gao Jinyang to a meeting in a foreign branch the next day.

When Lu Mengxin got the news, he hadn't reacted to it yet. Thinking of going on a business trip, he unconsciously asked: "Mr. Gao is going out for a few days?"

Wen Xianting looked at him suspiciously, and replied: "Only three days." At the end, he asked: "Why, do you have any questions?"

Lu Mengxin shook his head, "No." After a pause, he asked again: "Is it just me and Mr. Gao?"

Wen Xianting replied in a businesslike tone: "Yeah, it's not a big deal in the first place. Mr. Gao has already called for you to be brought along, so you can follow along with peace of mind, so that you can learn a lot."

Lu Mengxin gave a "hmm", then turned around and got up and walked towards Gao Jinyang's office.

Gao Jinyang had just finished the morning meeting and was burying his head in flipping through the documents in the office when he heard the door open and thought it was the female secretary Zheng Wenting entering the door, so he replied without raising his head: "Just put the coffee here, go out and call Xian Ting in." .”

When Lu Mengxin heard his order, she immediately stopped and stood there without saying a word, looking at him.

Only then did Gao Jinyang realize that something was wrong, he looked up and saw that it was Lu Mengxin, he was puzzled, he leisurely put down the document in his hand, raised his head and asked softly: "Why did you come in?"

Lu Mengxin cleared his throat, reconsidered the words he had thought over and over again in his mind, and then said: "Mr. Gao, I heard that you are going on a business trip tomorrow?"

Gao Jinyang narrowed his eyes, "Do you have any questions?"

Lu Mengxin replied calmly: "I want to take a leave with you, I can't go tomorrow."

Gao Jinyang was silent for a few seconds, Lu Mengxin raised his eyelids and found that the other party was looking at him, his eyes were very sophisticated, as if he wanted to see through him.

After a long time, Gao Jinyang asked him coldly, "Lu Mengxin, who do you think you are, dare to say 'no' to me."

Lu Mengxin swallowed, "Mr. Gao, you misunderstood... I mean..." He explained: "Xiao Fei is sick, I have to take care of him, otherwise..."

"Either continue to work or get out, there is no other way here." After Gao Jinyang said this, he didn't bother to waste any more words with him, and immediately issued an expulsion order, "Get out, I don't want to see you again today."

Lu Mengxin knew that he always said what he said, so he clenched his fists tightly and could only bite the bullet and exit the room.

Back in the office, Lu Mengxin was not in the mood for work. When he thought about Fade Chen who was still recuperating at home, he thought about it and decided to ask a caretaker to take care of him. Otherwise, there is no guarantee that those people will not trouble him again.

After a while, the door of the office was opened, Wen Xianting walked in from the outside, and saw Lu Mengxin sitting dryly, walked up to him, and stood in front of his desk.

Lu Mengxin looked up at him, and the eyes of the two met together.

Wen Xianting gave him a sideways look, and said, "Do you really not understand or are you pretending not to know, and you foolishly ran to Mr. Gao's office to ask him about his work schedule, are you really treating yourself like a green onion?"

Lu Mengxin didn't respond, so he heard him say again: "It's the first time I've seen someone as brainless as you... I advise you, it's almost over, don't let him lose his last bit of patience, it's my advice to you .”

Early on Tuesday morning, Lu Mengxin prepared his luggage and drove to Shenghui headquarters with his suitcase.

In the underground parking lot, Wen Xianting put Gao Jinyang's suitcase into the trunk, Lao Li closed the car door and was about to set off. As soon as he sat down, he saw Lu Mengxin's car gradually approaching and stopped right in front of the road.

Seeing that Gao Jinyang was getting ready to go, Lu Mengxin quickly parked the car and ran down. When passing by Wen Xianting, he tightened his suitcase, and finally asked Lao Li to reopen the trunk and put the luggage on it.

Gao Jinyang sat in the back seat, the car door opened, Lu Mengxin sat up, bowed his head and said hello to him, and then closed the car door.

Seeing that everyone was already in the car, Lao Li turned to Gao Jinyang for instructions.

Gao Jinyang gave an inaudible "hmm", then closed his eyes and fell asleep, ignoring it.

Wen Xianting sat in the co-driver's seat, looked at Gao Jinyang, and then at Lu Mengxin who was sitting in the back seat. He was turning his head and looking out the window, with a pensive expression on his face, not knowing what he was thinking.

The two of them didn't exchange a word, Wen Xianting was puzzled, but he still turned his head and sat up straight without asking any further questions.

The car drove out of the main entrance of the parking lot, Wen Xianting opened the door and got out, and nodded to Gao Jinyang at the other end.

The car restarted, gradually drove into the main road, and sprinted towards the high-speed intersection.

Lu Mengxin carefully observed Gao Jinyang sitting on the side through the car window, only to see him lying on his back on the seat, with his head held high, his eyes slightly closed, and he didn't say a word.

Lu Mengxin only stared at it for a moment, feeling bored, so he simply followed Gao Jinyang's example, closed his eyes slightly, and took a rest.

The car was driving on a gentle road, and as soon as it got on the high speed, Lu Mengxin lost consciousness in a daze and fell asleep completely.

Thanks to Lao Li's driving skills for many years, Lu Mengxin slept very peacefully this time. When he arrived at the destination, it was pouring rain outside the window.

Lu Mengxin was awakened by the sound of rain, rubbed his eyes to wake up completely, and then turned his head to look out the window. At some point, the car had arrived at its destination and parked in front of a luxuriously decorated clubhouse.

Gao Jinyang's side had already got up and woke up. Lao Li stabilized the car, got out of the car with an umbrella, and respectfully walked beside Gao Jinyang to hold the umbrella for him.

Lu Mengxin immediately wiped his face, opened the car door and followed Gao Jinyang into the clubhouse.

Seeing someone coming in, the waiter in the clubhouse immediately opened the glass door and nodded respectfully to them.

Before coming here, Wen Xianting had already completed the housing procedures for them. Lao Li took the room cards from the lady at the front desk and handed them to Gao Jinyang and Lu Mengxin one by one. Then he turned to Gao Jinyang and said, "Mr. Gao, I'm going to park the car first."

Gao Jinyang nodded, agreeing.

Lu Mengxin was holding the room card in his hand, seeing this, he took the bag in Lao Li's hand very sensibly, and stood beside Gao Jinyang, as if he was an assistant.

Seeing his actions, Gao Jinyang couldn't help but frowned and took a second look.

The two walked into the hall one after the other, and in the brightly lit corridor came three or two people who had met several times.

At first Lu Mengxin didn't recognize the two of them, until Zhao Zixiang, who was walking at the back, showed up and waved to Gao Jinyang to say hello, then he realized that something was wrong.

On the other end, Gao Jinyang was also surprised when he saw several people approaching, and greeted the first person at the head: "What a coincidence, you are also here for a meeting?"

Sun Changyue said "Hi", waved his hands and explained, "How can it be, Zixiang was not the one who pulled me here, you can ask him."

Gao Jinyang looked at Zhao Zixiang again, Zhao Zixiang said disapprovingly, "It's rare that everyone is free today, how about we get together tonight?"
