Chapter 197: Mutation 3

of perfection and realistic shooting style, it's very immersive. Everyone feels the hardships of that generation, and it's also because of their selfless pioneering and construction that everyone has...Everything is fake Impossible, who would dare to falsify information in government departments

They specifically arranged for a security guard to guide her to the second floor in the lobby They set up a designated workspace on the second floor, just waiting for her to take the bait and give her a fake document

Her face was very grim, a mixture of disbelief and the feeling that it could only be Cheng Zhimin who did this. She stared blankly at Director Xiao and Zhou Ming, her mind in turmoil.

"What's wrong" Zhou Ming saw that her face was pale, and his heart sank like a stone. If this project really went wrong, not only would Shu Tinglan's career be ruined, but also Xiao Director's M&A team and the entire Hongzheng Law Firm would face a catastrophe.

"I'm going to Yu Zhong Real Estate again." Shu Tinglan was still holding onto a glimmer of hope, planning to make another trip to Yu Zhong Real Estate and the local management office to double-check.

As he spoke, he grabbed his car keys and hurried out.

"Come back, it's already after work hours now. You came so late that it's evening. What could you possibly have found" Director Xiao's face was ashen, and he called her back in a harsh voice, his mind already made up.

"Director Xiao, I will be responsible for this matter."

Shu Tinglan's eyes were red, no matter what time it was, she had to go again, it was her responsibility to herself, to the client, and more importantly, to Hongzheng Law Firm, Director Xiao, and Zhou Ming.

On the way, she received a call from Zhuo Yunan.

“What do you want to eat tonight I’m at the supermarket.”

Hearing his gentle voice, her nose instantly tingled, and she took a moment to calm herself before replying.

"I might not be back tonight, Director Xiao made a temporary business trip arrangement, I'm on the highway now."

"Huh Where's the business trip to"

"Just in the next city over, will be back tomorrow."

Then be careful, and give me a video call when you get there.

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, my heart felt like it was being twisted into a knot. It was as if I had been thrown into the air in a dream, suspended with nothing to hold onto, falling endlessly into an abyss that seemed to have no bottom.

I originally thought this was the worst possible situation, but before she could even reach her destination, Cheng Chen suddenly called.

"Shushu, where are you"

"On a business trip out of town."

"I heard today that the retirement community project acquired by Lisen Shichuang has been put on hold, and Mr. Gao also informed me to suspend advertising placement and publicity. Shushu, do you know what the reason is"

Shu Tinglan's brain buzzed again. This project was Cheng Chen's first client in Senzhou after he started his business, and he had invested all his funds into it. If the project stopped, Cheng Chen would be ruined.

She jerked the steering wheel, pulling the car over to the emergency lane. Her vision blurred, as if a giant stone pressed down on her chest, suffocating her, stealing her breath.

"Shu Shu, what's wrong" Cheng Chen heard her brake suddenly and asked with concern.

"It's okay, we're also looking into the reason for this project. It should be fine." She could only comfort Cheng Chen like this, and couldn't reveal the details for now.

"Okay. By the way, I've been staying at the company most of the time lately. Can I hire a caregiver to look after Aunt here" Although Cheng Chen had previously stayed in her suburban house, after finding his office location and with the busy start-up phase, he rarely went back. He wasn't comfortable leaving his mother alone at home.

"No need for now, she won't go out casually. I have the home surveillance on my phone, it's very safe." After that honest conversation, mom took the initiative to request to return home and her emotions are now stable.

It was completely dark by now. She arrived at her destination, checked into the same hotel as before, and called Zhuo Yuan after hanging up the phone in a hurry, claiming she had to attend a meeting that night. She stayed awake all night until dawn.

As soon as she arrived at the office, she went straight to the reception desk to find Ma, the head of the Health and Wellness City. The receptionist girl recognized her because she had worked there before. When she heard that she was looking for Ma, she was surprised, but then returned to normal and said:

“Mr. Shu, Mr. Ma has resigned.”

"Resignation He's not the second shareholder of Yushou Real Estate, how could he resign" Shu Tinglan had a strong bad feeling at this moment, but she still wanted to get another answer from the front desk.

At this time, employees began to clock in for work one after another. People came and went. The girl at the front desk was too busy tidying up her desk to answer her question anymore. But Shu Tinglan wasn't so easily brushed off. She just sat in the guest chair next to her, waiting for the peak period of employees clocking in to pass and the place to be empty before she walked back to the front desk and asked the girl again:

"When did Ma leave Why did he leave"

The front desk girl, seeing that the other woman was resolute and wouldn't leave unless she told her the truth, glanced around to make sure no one was watching before answering honestly.

“Mr. Ma always absconded with the funds.” After all, it's common knowledge at the company.

"The acquisition price for the Wellness City" Shu Tinglan asked.

"Yes. He's the project director. He took advantage of his position to transfer the project to different acquirers at the same time, and now that things have been exposed, he has run away with the money." The receptionist girl didn't understand the specifics either, she just heard bits and pieces from her colleagues, something like that.

Then this message was enough to make Shu Tinglan's heart tremble and her legs go weak.

After leaving YuZhong Real Estate, Zhou felt a chill all over. He drove to the Land Administration Center to reconfirm which name the Kangyang City project was under.

The management center had been renovated, the first-floor office lobby was spacious and bright. She looked around, but didn't see the security guard who had directed her before. There was only one security guard, over 50 years old, standing straight at the door. She went up to him and asked: "Hello, did your colleague who was on duty during the renovation come today"

"What colleagues I've always been alone here."

"He was tall and a little plump, with a mole on his ear." She remembered his appearance.

The security guard thought about it for a while, but still couldn't figure out who this person was, and replied

"Are you mistaken We don't have anyone like that on our security team. It was during renovations, it could have been someone from the construction company."

Do you have a temporary window set up on the second floor

"No, there's only one window facing outwards. The second floor is all the offices of the leaders. How could anyone just go up there" The security guard firmly insisted that what she said was impossible.

Shu Tinglan's mind went blank after hearing the security guard's words. So, from the very beginning, Cheng Zhimin had set this trap, arranging fake security guards, staff, and information in this management center. It was like a turtle in a jar, waiting for her to step in and then be trapped forever.just now, she knew must have hurt Teacher Qin. It wasn't intentional, it was just that in that moment, she did what she did. 。Compared to Tang Su, she seemed so selfish, so hypocritical. 。The caregive...
