Chapter 356 - 349: A Big Mess, Part 6
Xiao Zhang was timidly pushed into a room; the light inside wasn’t very bright, the temperature was very low, and the terrifying atmosphere made her tremble continuously.
She didn’t understand, she was just helping to pick up something out of goodwill, why instead of thanking her, wouldn’t they let her leave?
The door opened again, and a group of people walked in from outside.
Xiao Zhang immediately recognized the man leading them as Wu Chengzu, excitedly running over, "Mr. Wu, I’m the receptionist Xiao Zhang from the company upstairs! You’ve seen me!"
Wu Chengzu nodded politely, "Yes, Xiao Zhang, I recognize you.
"
Hearing Wu Chengzu say this, Xiao Zhang relaxed and breathed a sigh of relief, "Was that person your employee just now? Please tell him I’m not a bad person, certainly not a thief. He dropped his stuff, I just picked it up for him!"
Wu Chengzu smiled, "Did you see what he dropped?"
"It was a square piece of something, and white powder was coming from... inside..."
Xiao Zhang suddenly seemed to realize something, looking at Wu Chengzu’s smile again she felt it was exceptionally terrifying, as if it came from the Grim Reaper in hell.
"Mr. Wu, if there’s nothing else, can I leave? My mom’s waiting for me at home to have soup..." Xiao Zhang’s voice started trembling, her legs feeling somewhat weak.
"Hmm, you can go. I’ll tell him you meant well, you’re not a bad person."
Wu Chengzu’s face remained calm, the same as usual.
"Bye... then!" With Wu Chengzu’s words, Xiao Zhang lifted her legs and walked, but after just two steps, she felt a coldness followed by warmth at her neck, and blood spurted out like a pillar, her whole body fell stiffly down.
"Cleaned up." Wu Chengzu looked at Xiao Zhang’s corpse expressionlessly, lifted his leg and walked out of the room.
The man who was in the elevator dropping things stood there trembling, seeing Wu Chengzu come out immediately scared him limp.
"Sorry, boss, I wasn’t... I didn’t know the bag was broken..."
"Check if there are any more dropped items," Wu Chengzu ordered Chen Bei.
Chen Bei nodded, "No, the count is right."
"Hmm." Wu Chengzu glanced at the man, "I don’t want to see him again."
The man didn’t even have time to beg for mercy and immediately met his demise.
"The day for the deal is in these few days, make sure your people are focused, I don’t want such low-level errors to happen again!"
"Yes, understood!" Chen Bei replied sternly.
In the morning, Bai Yiran had just arrived at the company, when she saw the presence of police officers.
"What happened?" Bai Yiran asked Yao Zhiqing, whose face didn’t look good, beside her.
"Xiao Zhang was killed last night, and her body was found in a nearby trash can. The police are here to investigate."
"Oh my god!" Bai Yiran looked at the reception incredulously, wondering what kind of person would murder such a cheerful girl like her?
"I heard Xiao Zhang was the last to leave the company last night. Do you think she might have encountered a psycho?"
"It’s possible! If so, who would dare to work late anymore!"
Employees were guessing one sentence after another, and Yao Zhiqing’s expression grew darker and darker.
"Enough! Get back to work! Nobody is allowed to spread rumors, or you’ll be fired immediately!"
Bai Yiran glanced at Yao Zhiqing and the police taking notes not far away, then entered the company.
Just as she reached the office, she saw a pot of flowers on her desk, "This Xiao Zhang, didn’t I ask her to help me..." Bai Yiran suddenly stopped, Xiao Zhang was no longer there, no one would take care of these flowers for her anymore...
Bai Yiran’s phone rang at this moment, it was Wu Jingjing calling.
Bai Yiran frowned and didn’t answer. She felt the child’s dependency on her was too heavy, which wasn’t a good thing.
