Throughout the night, there was no movement in the study room. When An Ran passed by, there were small voices of conversation coming from inside, and a ray of light from the study room quietly leaked out from under the crack of the door.

When An Ran got up to drink water at night, the lights were still on in the study, and the conversation inside could be faintly heard.

"I know...funding loopholes..."

It was heard intermittently, probably because of the big battle between the two companies, he might not be able to spare time, An Ran held a cup of hot water in his hand, and when he was about to go back to his room, the door of the study opened suddenly.

Chu Youjie's face appeared behind the door, holding the doorknob with one hand, looking at An Ran who was standing at the door without warning, she frowned.

"Why are you here?"

"Can't sleep and get up to drink water." An Ran saw that the tangle on his brows was still not loosened, thinking that he was worried that she heard what he said, so she hurriedly clarified.

"I just got up to drink water. I passed by and didn't hear what you said."

"Who's worried about that?"

Chu Youjie looked down and saw her bare feet, Yubai's feet stepped on the peach-colored floor, her toes curled up.

"Why don't you wear shoes?"

An Ran followed his gaze and looked down at her feet. She always wore disposable clothes in the hotel. She never thought that she would return to Chu Youjie's place. Assistant Qin would not think of buying shoes for her, so An Ran just did it casually. , Anyway, just go to bed after taking a shower, but I didn't expect to wake up in the middle of the night.

"Uh, I didn't find it. Forget it. I'll go downtown to buy a pair tomorrow. Ah!"

An Ran looked down, and was caught off guard by Chu Youjie, who hugged her with one hand, and one hand passed through her knee. The feeling of volleying made An Ran almost scream.

"Hold on tight."

Chu Youjie's tone was flat, as if he was talking about an ordinary thing, An Ran still held a glass of warm water in his hand, holding it carefully, leaning his head sideways on Chu Youjie's chest, his face felt a little hot.

Being hugged and sent back to the bed, An Ran experienced the long-lost experience of being hugged back to the bed like a child, and was properly covered with a quilt.

"Lie down for me." Domineering yet gentle, it seems that today's quarrel has become a thing of the past.

"En." An Ran obediently responded, drank half a cup of hot water, and obediently lay down.

Chu Youjie didn't say much, she pulled the desk lamp and went out, the door was closed lightly, An Ran looked at the crack of the door where there was a faint light, and felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She closed her eyes, and after 5 minutes, she heard a little noise. Chu Youjie went back and forth, walked softly to An Ran's bed, and carefully put down something.

An Ran didn't change her movements, she fell asleep with her head turned sideways until the sound of closing the door, she looked sideways at a pair of camel-colored cotton slippers on the ground, the warm color tone didn't match at all with this room full of cool tones.

"Pfft, this man."

I like to do everything in silence, and after being found out, I might even be stubborn and refuse to admit it.

There was no dream all night, An Ran had a good sleep, woke up early the next morning, picked up the phone habitually, and was completely dazed by the bombarding news.

"Shen Liang is suspected of corruption and bribery, involving hundreds of millions of dollars!"

"The downfall of the real estate overlord in City K, who is behind the scenes?"

"..."

There are many similar tweets, but without exception, they all tell everyone that the Shen family is about to fall. In this confrontation with the Chu family, unexpectedly, they did not last long and fell down.

Because Shen Liang, the president of the Shen Corporation, was suspected of bribery, fraudulent accounts, and tax evasion. Whoever exposed it all at once, just wait to wash his ass and go to jail.

An Ran looked at these news, lifted the quilt and stepped on the slippers that Chu Youjie prepared for her last night, and went to find a man.

Knocked on the study door, but no one came out to answer.

"Chu Youjie, are you there, I have something to see you!"

I twisted the doorknob and found that it was not locked. I carefully opened the door and walked in. There was no one inside, only the curtains blown by the wind were gently fluttering.

"What about people?"

There was a sound of footsteps behind her, An Ran turned her head in surprise, and saw Assistant Qin approaching step by step.

"Assistant Qin, do you know where Chu Youjie has gone?"

"The president has gone to City A. He was notified at six o'clock in the morning that he had to go back because of something at the headquarters. He specifically asked me to come and pick you up at this time."

"Pick me up?" Pick me up where?
An Ran was puzzled.

But obediently packed her luggage and went to the airport, where there was already a private plane waiting for her.

Facing An Ran's puzzled eyes, Assistant Qin just smiled and said, "Miss An, don't worry, everything has been arranged by the president, you just need to get on the plane and go back to City A."

The private jet was small and comfortable, and the captain drove it very smoothly, so it was already evening when it arrived in City A.

An Ran went through the security check, dragged her suitcase out, and saw the person who came to pick her up, and lifted her bag. The airport pedestrians were in a hurry, and An Ran was bumped head-on by a woman who was passing by in a hurry.

"Ouch."

An Ran was bumped into one side by her, and it hurt for a while, but this person kept apologizing, and couldn't express his temper, so he could only say "Be careful next time."

It can be seen that the person with the eyes under the wide brim of the hat is not distracted to deal with it, An Ran feels impatient and does not intend to pester her anymore, after all, there is still someone waiting for her at the door.

"Sorry, I'm leaving first."

"Wait a minute!" Regardless of An Ran's feelings, the man directly shortened the distance between the two of them, grabbed her hand, and took the opportunity to throw something into her unzipped bag.

"you!"

An Ran was about to get angry, when she took out something, the woman gently pressed her wrist, as if giving some kind of hint.

Taking advantage of the moment when this person raised her head from under the brim of the hat, An Ran saw her face clearly.

"It's you?"

Shen Liang's secretary had met once before.

"Remember to check." After leaving four words, the woman hurriedly disappeared into the crowd.

The person Chu Youjie arranged to pick her up saw An Ran standing still and thought something had happened.

"Miss An, are you okay?"

Meeting the assistant's concerned eyes, An Ran smiled and shook her head, said it's okay, and silently tightened her bag.

The inner questions one after another, why is Shen Liang's secretary here?And where did Shen Liang go?What the hell is that thing?
An Ran quietly raised her eyes to look at the rearview mirror. The driver in front was concentrating on driving and did not pay attention to the situation behind. In fact, An Ran did not dare to take out that thing easily.

The car didn't go to An Ran's house, but to Chu Youjie's house.

Arriving at Chu Youjie's high-end apartment, An Ran dragged her luggage in, opened the door and went in, saw Chu Youjie was on the phone, saw herself coming in, said something to the person over there, and then hung up the phone.

"You're back?"

"What do you want me to do?"

Chu Youjie's eyes darkened a little, "You should know."

An Ran replied calmly, "I don't know, and you didn't tell me either."

"Shen Liang is finished."

"I know, I got the news from my phone, so, you tell me what you want?"

"I tell you that no matter what Shen Liang did to you before, you don't believe it, because that guy has a purpose from the beginning."

"What do you mean?" An Ran heard that there was something in the words, Chu Youjie didn't plan to beat around the bush this time, "Follow me to my house at night, you will know."

"Okay, let me take a break."

An Ran dragged her luggage back to her room, looked at the door lock and hesitated, but it was locked.After confirming twice, I took out the envelope from the bag.

Kraft paper envelopes can be seen everywhere in the market. There is nothing special about them. The seal is still glued, which shows how anxious the person who sealed it was.

"What the hell is it?"

An Ran opened the envelope and took out the contents, accidentally, a familiar object fell out.
