Su Yicheng’s eyes were fixed on the document in his hand. It recorded that on June 2nd, Anran tried on a pearl necklace in front of a jewelry counter in ‘Yintai department store’ on Guilin Road. Under the witness of the jewelry shop’s staff, Zhou han directly passed the pearl necklace, which was worth nearly a million Yuan, to Anran. Even the surveillance video of them in the store at that time had been edited into a photo, and the two people in the photo could clearly be recognized as Zhou han and Anran.
Yan Li picked up the cigarette box on the table again, took out another cigarette from it, and lit it up. He took a deep puff and blew out a white smoke ring as he said, ” &Quot; your wife isn’t simple. She spent 5000 Yuan to buy a Pearl worth nearly a million Yuan. She’s really amazing! &Quot;
Su Yicheng didn’t say anything. He was already looking at the information in his hand. He reached out and flipped to the next page, which had detailed information about Anran’S and Zhou Han’s accounts. That afternoon, less than an hour after they left the mall, Anran did transfer 5000 Yuan to Zhou han. She even indicated the purpose of the transfer this time, which was to buy a pearl necklace.
&Quot; does she think that she can do it flawlessly? however, she clearly doesn’t understand that buying something of a different value at a low price is the same as accepting a bribe if the price is too high. &Quot; Yan Li said while smoking, ” the colleagues from the Commission for Discipline Inspection have already contacted her. &Quot;
Su Yicheng frowned unhappily, put down the document in his hand, looked up at her, and said, ” “Can I give her a call?”
Yan Li looked at him and only spoke after a long time, ” “You know that’s impossible.”
Su Yicheng didn’t say anything and just stared at him. He knew that his request was a little rude, but he was just worried that everything would happen too suddenly and that Anran wouldn’t have enough time to prepare herself. She was still having nightmares last night and was scared! Moreover, she was pregnant!
Yan Li returned his gaze and stubbed out the cigarette in his hand in the ashtray. He said, ” “When she comes over later, I’d like to see what kind of woman she is to have you so smitten that you’ve even given up on your own principles.”
An ran wouldn’t do such a thing. &Quot; He remembered that she had said that she had bought that necklace for Lin Li. It was the gift she had bought for Lin Li’s wedding. He just didn’t expect them to dig up the whole matter.
Yan Li looked at him, and only opened his mouth to ask after a long while, ” “Do you know about this necklace?”
Su Yicheng looked back at him, nodded, and said frankly, ” “I know,”
Yan Li furrowed his brows and continued to ask,”is it because of the necklace that you decided to ignore the public’s opinion and give the technology City project to the inexperienced and incompetent vast ocean real estate?”
&Quot; no, the technology City project ended up with the inexperienced immensity sea. That’s the result of a vote by the people from the Investment Promotion Office. Everything was done according to reasonable procedures and there was no bias. &Quot; Su Yicheng said truthfully with a calm expression.
Yan Li looked at him for a long time, then took the documents and stood up again. When he turned to leave, he held the door handle and said, ” “I’ll call your dad.” With the SU family’s background, even if su Yicheng had really taken a bribe, it wouldn’t be a problem for su Wenqing and su hannian to protect him with their connections.
Su Yicheng didn’t say anything. At the moment, he was still most worried about Anran. He didn’t know if she would be scared, as she was so timid that even the sound of firecrackers could scare her.
Because she couldn’t find su Yicheng and didn’t want her parents to worry, Anran finally called Lin Li. Perhaps she was really tired, but she felt her eyelids getting heavier and heavier. While waiting for Lin Li to come over, she actually fell asleep in a daze. She was so deep asleep that the phone on the table rang several times without waking her.
When she woke up again with her eyes half-closed, Lin Li had already come over. Seeing that she had woken up, she quickly went up and asked, ” “An Zi, how are you? how do you feel? are you feeling uncomfortable anywhere? Will your stomach still hurt from the fall?” The anxiety between her brows revealed her worry and anxiety at the moment.
Anran smiled at her comfortingly and shook her head. She reached out and touched her stomach, and as if she could feel the pulse of the baby in her stomach, the uneasiness in her heart slowly eased. She raised her head to look at Lin Li again and said apologetically, ” “Did I delay your work?” She felt a little apologetic. She knew that Lin Li had just returned to the company, and her excessive leave of absence would definitely make their department manager unhappy with her. However, she didn’t know who su Yicheng was just now, and she didn’t want her parents to worry, so she could only look for her in the end.
As if she could see through her thoughts, Lin Li said in a bad mood, ” &Quot; what are you talking about? work is not as important as you. You called me just now and you looked so weak. You even said that you were in the hospital to take care of your baby. I was almost scared to death! &Quot; As he said that, he reached out to touch her cheek and said, ” “Thank God you’re alright, thank God you’re alright.”
An ran nodded with a faint smile on her lips.
At this time, the nurse came in with some documents. She raised her head to look at Anran and said with a smile, ” “You’re awake.”
Anran nodded and smiled at her gently.
&Quot; it’s not a big problem. I’ve just taken your fetal heart rate. The child’s condition is normal. Don’t worry. &Quot; The nurse said as she flipped through the documents. She closed the folder and hugged it to her chest. &Quot; now that you’re a mother, you have to think more about the baby in your stomach. The baby is still very fragile and completely depends on the mother. Your emotions will directly affect the baby, so don’t have too big of an emotional change in the future. It’s most important to always be in a good mood. Otherwise, if you’re unhappy, the baby will be unhappy as well. &Quot;
Hearing this, Anran nodded. &Quot; okay, I got it. &Quot;
The nurse didn’t say anything more. She took the thermometer and checked her temperature. After making sure that everything was normal, she smiled and said, ” &Quot; okay, you should rest well for the next two days. You were a little red when you were sent here, and there were signs of a miscarriage, so you should stay in bed more and walk less. It’s best if you can stay in the hospital for a few days for observation. &Quot;
“Okay, thank you, miss nurse.” An ran smiled and thanked him.
The nurse didn’t say anything else, but told her to rest well and relax.
After the nurse left, Lin Li looked at her and asked, ” “What happened to you today? why did you suddenly become like this? You encountered it?”
Anran shook her head and smiled at her. &Quot; it’s okay. I was careless. &Quot; She didn’t want to talk too much about what happened today. Just like what the nurse had said, she had to maintain a happy mood and not let anything bad affect her mood. This time, she was really scared to death. She couldn’t bear it anymore.
Seeing that she didn’t want to talk about it, Lin Li didn’t force her. She turned her head and asked, ” “Where’s your leader su? Are you in a meeting?” This meeting was too long. It was almost five o ‘clock. Any longer and it would be done. It was almost time to get off work.
Anran shook her head. She didn’t know, either. She had called him many times before, but no one picked up. She didn’t know if he was busy, but she had never seen him not returning her call for so long. No matter how busy he was, whenever he saw her and called him, he would always return her call. However, he didn’t do so today.
She looked at the phone on the bedside table and reached out to take it. &Quot; I’ll call him again. &Quot;
When she took her phone, she realized that she had a few missed calls, all from the city landline. “Why are there so many missed calls?” he muttered with a frown.
&Quot; what phone call? ” Lin Li was curious. &Quot; who called? ”
Anran shook her head and said, ” I don’t know. It was a call from a landline. I don’t know who it is. &Quot;
“Let me see.” Lin Li looked at her suspiciously and reached out to take the phone from her hand. Looking at the number displayed on the screen, there were actually five missed calls. Thinking of her usual experience, she said, ” “It must be those phone promoters. They’re the most annoying.” Then, he felt that it didn’t seem like it and muttered softly, ” “But it’s rare to see someone so persistent, to actually hit so many in a row!”
An ran also felt strange. She couldn’t think of who would call her so many times.
Just as the two of them were confused, the phone in Lin Li’s hand rang again. It was the same landline phone. Lin Li glanced at Anran and said, ” “I’ll pick him up?”
An ran nodded and had no opinion.
The phone rang a few times before Lin Li answered the call with some determination. &Quot; Hello? ”
“Is it Gu Anran?” On the other end of the phone was a slightly serious male voice, a little low.
“Who are you?” Lin Li asked, frowning.
The person on the other end of the phone didn’t answer Lin Li’s question, but asked directly, ” “May I ask where miss Gu is now? We have something to discuss with miss Gu.”
Lin Li rolled her eyes and said in a bad mood, ” “I’m asking you who you are! Also, understand the situation? understand what situation?” As he spoke, he looked at an ran questioningly.
Hearing this, an ran also frowned in confusion.
The person on the other end of the phone was clearly unhappy with her uncooperative attitude. He said in a low voice, ” &Quot; miss Gu, just tell us where you are now. We’re from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. As for what happened, we’ll ask you to come back to cooperate with the investigation. &Quot;
&Quot; I don’t care if you want to investigate or find out more about the situation. You’re the one who called me, and you’re not even sincere about who you are. In that case, there’s no need for us to continue this conversation. &Quot; Lin Li hung up the phone. She said indignantly, ” what kind of person is he? what a joke. He wants me to tell him where you are for no reason. He even said that he wants an investigation for no reason. Does he think I’m stupid? it would be a miracle if I told him. &Quot;
“What did that person say?” Anran looked at Lin Li in confusion, feeling a little worried. She had heard about an investigation and an understanding of the situation, but she didn’t know if it was what she was thinking, and she didn’t know if the reason su Yicheng didn’t pick up his phone was related to this.

&Quot; who knows? he said a bunch of inexplicable things that I don’t understand, and he didn’t even say his name. There are really all kinds of birds in a big forest. &Quot; Lin Li mumbled angrily and unhappily. She put her phone back on the bedside table and said to Anran, ” don’t frown, and don’t think too much. Did you forget what the nurse just said? she said that you need to rest more. Also, the most important thing is to keep your mood happy. My godson will only be happy if you’re happy. &Quot;
Anran gave her a faint smile, looked at the phone on the table, and said, ” give me the phone. &Quot;
“Hey, it’s okay. Maybe your leader su is really busy. Think about it. He’s such a high-ranking official. He must be busy every day. Don’t worry.” Naturally, Lin Li was smart. From the words of those people just now, she associated it with su Yicheng’s identity, so she naturally figured out something. However, Anran was still in bed, and the nurse had just told her to rest and pay attention to her emotions before she left. She didn’t want Anran to be agitated again after she had just calmed down.
&Quot; Lin Li, give me your phone. If you don’t give it to me, I’ll still be worried. I know something might have happened to su Yicheng. &Quot; Anran said calmly, but her heart was in a panic. She remembered what Ling LAN had said to her when she had come to find her. She wasn’t trying to scare her, she was being serious.
&Quot; Anran … &Quot; Lin Li looked at her with a worried expression.
Anran smiled at her and stroked her stomach. She murmured, ” “I’m prepared, and I believe in Yicheng. I won’t let anything happen to the baby. Don’t worry.”
Lin Li didn’t say anything more. She took the phone on the bedside table and handed it to her.
Anran took it and pulled up the call record. She stared at the number on it for a long time before she dialed it.
The phone was picked up very quickly. It was picked up almost as soon as it rang. The person who picked up the phone was still the same man who had spoken to Lin Li on the phone just now, but this time, his voice was less low and serious, and more surprised and startled. &Quot; Gu Anran? ”
Anran took a deep breath, nodded, and said, ” “Yes, it’s me.”
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, before the sharp voice said, ” “Why doesn’t the voice sound like the one just now?”
“That was my friend.” Anran explained. &Quot; may I ask why you’re looking for me? ” she asked again. &Quot; is there anything I can help you with? ”
&Quot; where are you now? we are from the Commission for Discipline Inspection. We have some questions about su Yicheng that we want to ask you, and we hope you can cooperate with our work. &Quot; The man said.
Anran’s heart sank. As expected, it was just as she had guessed. She clenched her hands on the pure white blanket and asked, ” “Yicheng, is Yicheng with you now?”
&Quot; miss Gu, there are some things that you shouldn’t or can’t ask. You only have to tell us your current address, and our colleagues will go over to find you. &Quot; The person on the other end of the phone said in a serious tone.
Anran was silent for a long time before she said, ” “I, I’m in the inpatient department of the Obstetrics and Gynecology Department of the fifth hospital of the city. You can come over now.”
After hanging up the phone, Lin Li, who was at the side, asked curiously, ” what did he say? ”
Anran shook her head, but her hand clutched her phone tightly. &Quot; “He didn’t say anything.”
Lin Li looked at her and asked tentatively, ” your su Yicheng is really in-bad mood-”
“No, I didn’t!” Anran interrupted her and said, ” “It’s not what you think. Yicheng would never do anything against his principles.”
Lin Li looked at her and didn’t ask any more questions. She just nodded and said, ” &Quot; well, don’t worry. As long as he didn’t do anything he shouldn’t, there’s nothing to worry about. &Quot; In fact, from her brief contact with su Yicheng, she also felt that su Yicheng wasn’t that kind of person.
Anran didn’t say anything. She just stared at her phone and slowly placed her hand on her flat stomach.
Lin Li didn’t say anything and just looked at her. The atmosphere in the ward was a little heavy and strange.
Anran stared at her phone in a daze. Suddenly, she retracted her hand from Lin Li’s and turned her head to see Lin Li smiling at her. &Quot; don’t worry, ” she comforted her.
Anran looked at her, and the tip of her nose felt a little sour, but she stubbornly raised her head to force her tears back. She nodded at her with force. &Quot; yes, yes. &Quot; Su Yicheng had promised her that he would be fine. Although she was worried, she believed his words.
Lin Li’s phone rang at this time. She took it out of her bag and looked at it. It was a string of unfamiliar numbers, but it was also a number from Jiangcheng. She looked up at Anran and said, ” “I’ll take this call first.” With that, he stood up and walked out.
In the corridor, Lin Li picked up the phone and asked tentatively, ” “Hello, who’s this?”
Ignoring Lin Li’s question, the person on the other end of the phone directly asked, ” “Where are you now?”
Lin Li frowned. This voice sounded familiar, but she couldn’t remember who it was or where she had heard it before. She frowned and asked, ” “Who are you?”
“Zhou han.” The two words came from the other side of the phone without any warmth, without a trace of emotion. “You’re not in the office?”
Lin Li was stunned for a while. She was too surprised. Oh my God, wasn’t she just taking a day off? did she have to trouble the company’s president to call her personally? Due to a certain someone’s abuse of power, she didn’t expect to be fired less than a week after entering the company. Lin Li hurriedly explained, ” &Quot; well, I’ve already asked for leave from manager Shu, and he agreed to it. &Quot; What she didn’t mention was that although the old witch Shu agreed to her leave, she didn’t look too good. It seemed that she was quite dissatisfied with her leave since she had just started working for less than a week.
Zhou han ignored her explanation and asked again, ” “Where are you now?”
“Uh,” Lin Li was stunned for a moment, then asked cautiously, ” “May I ask what’s the matter?” She was just a small sales employee who had just joined the company and had not even sold a house yet. As the leader of the company, he would not talk about work with an employee like her, right? But if they didn’t talk about work, what else could they talk about?
Lin Li seemed to hear Zhou han sighing softly on the other end of the phone. Before she could confirm if she had heard wrongly, she heard his deep voice ring in her ear, saying, ” &Quot; listen, I don’t care where you are right now, but if someone calls you later and says that someone from the Commission for Discipline Inspection wants you to cooperate with the investigation, you must answer as I say. &Quot;
“Uh, what did you say?” Lin Li interrupted and asked.
“I’m not done yet!” On the other end of the phone, Zhou Han’s tone was a little heavy, and he continued to ask, ” Didn’t gu Anran give you a pearl necklace before? where is that necklace now? ”
“A pearl necklace?” Lin Li thought about it for a while and remembered that the day before she was going to marry Chengxiang, Anran had indeed given her a pearl necklace, and that necklace was currently in the apartment Anran had lent her. But the problem was, ” how did you know! &Quot;
“Because I sold that necklace to her.” Zhou han explained indifferently.
Lin Li was a little surprised. She thought that Anran had gone to the mall to pick it out for her, but she remembered that the color of the necklace was very beautiful.
&Quot; listen, if someone asks about our relationship, just say that you’re my girlfriend, okay? ” Zhou han said on the other end of the phone.
Upon hearing this, Lin Li’s eyes widened. &Quot; what? girlfriend? Why?” Why did she say that?
If you want Gu Anran and su Yicheng to be fine, then do as I say. &Quot; Zhou han said in a low voice.
Lin Li’s brows were tightly furrowed. The more she listened, the more confused she became.”I don’t quite understand what you mean?”
&Quot; you don’t need to understand. You just need to know that you are now my girlfriend, and that pearl necklace was given to you by me from Gu Anran. The purpose is to please you. It’s enough to remember these points. &Quot; Zhou han said quickly.
Lin Li didn’t say anything. She still hadn’t digested what he had just said. She really didn’t understand the situation. What was all this about?
“Why should I say that I’m your girlfriend?” he asked, dumbfounded.
On the other end of the phone, Zhou han seemed to be really angry with her. She only heard him gritting his teeth and saying, ” “Why? because I’m your boss, and this is the job I’m giving you, so you must complete it! Don’t ask why, remember what I just said, and just answer accordingly! Otherwise, don’t come to work anymore.” Then, without waiting for Lin Li to speak, he hung up the phone.
Lin Li stared blankly at the black screen in her hand. It took her a long time to react, and she muttered to herself, ” “Who are they?” However, when she thought back to what he had just said, she seemed to have understood something. She turned around and wanted to go back to the ward to tell Anran, but she saw a few serious-looking men walking in the corridor of the hospital, led by a nurse, towards her. Lin Li was a little slow to react, and she watched them walk past her and into Anran’s ward. When she finally came back to her senses, she wanted to go in again, but she was blocked by the man at the end of the line. He said with a dark expression, ” “I’m sorry, we’re asking questions. You can’t go in.”
