Wang Xiao had been busy all morning, even inviting Yan Le, the Director of the Technical Department, but the surveillance video of the underground parking lot of Lijing Yuncheng could still not be recovered.
"This was clearly deliberately deleted by someone, and the person who deleted it had very high skills, leaving no trace, and it's completely impossible to recover. Did President Chu lose something valuable?" Yan Le asked curiously.
Wang Xiao found it difficult to explain the truth, so he could only nod perfunctorily, and then took the video to the top floor of the building to report.
"Boss, I've had Director Yan look at it. He said the video has been completely destroyed and cannot be recovered." Wang Xiao was a little guilty, fearing that the boss would blame him for not going to retrieve the surveillance footage immediately.
Chu Rong's face was dark and suppressed, clearly not satisfied with the result.
Wang Xiao's heart trembled, and a thought flashed through his mind. He quickly tried to make amends, "But if it really was the young madam, then she must live in Lijing Yuncheng. It will take some effort to get the resident's information, but we can post a missing person notice first. As long as the young madam sees it..."
Seeing that his boss's expression was getting uglier, Wang Xiao's heart tightened. "If the young madam sees it... she might hide again... and leave. But if other residents see it, they might respond..."
However, the pressure from the boss opposite him was getting lower and lower, and Wang Xiao's voice also became smaller and smaller, until he could only say sheepishly, "This method... doesn't seem very good either."
"The person who deleted the video?" Chu Rong asked coldly.
Wang Xiao became even more bitter. "The technical department also tracked it, but no trace was left. They said it was not done by an ordinary person."
Of course, it might have been someone from the Lijing Yuncheng surveillance room, but Wang Xiao had also checked. They were all ordinary people, and there was no reason for them to do so. Clearly, it was done by an outsider.
"Within tomorrow, I want to see the information of all residents in Building Seven of Lijing Yuncheng. If necessary, you can use the Chu family's power," Chu Rong said, giving Wang Xiao a cold glance.
Wang Xiao wailed inwardly. Being the boss's personal secretary was too difficult. However, he still agreed outwardly.
Just as he was about to leave, he heard, "Tell the HR department that the Director of the Design Department will be given a major demerit, and it will be announced to all staff."
Wang Xiao's heart skipped a beat.
He had found it strange that the boss was suddenly drugged last night. Now the boss was going to give Jiang Mengran a major demerit. His imagination even led him to guess the truth of the matter.
"That scheming bitch Jiang Mengran, she deserves it," Wang Xiao cursed inwardly, his voice of agreement becoming a little cheerful.
...
After Wang Xiao left, Chu Rong suddenly remembered the Investment Department. He hesitated for a moment before making an internal call.
Liang Ze was wondering if he should report to President Chu that he hadn't seen Nine. Unexpectedly, a call came from the President's Office. It was President Chu himself who called, and he started by asking how the investment cooperation on Friday went.
Liang Ze quickly reported the work progress, stating that the cooperation had been reached and was in the process of signing the contract. Finally, he paused for a moment and said, "I originally arranged to meet Nine, but she had something come up and didn't show up, so I didn't get to see her in the end."
Chu Rong felt a strange sense of loss. He hummed indifferently and hung up the phone.
......
Jiang Mengran was in a panic at home for two days. It wasn't until Monday when she had to go to work that she reluctantly applied for half a day off from the HR department at the last minute.
The HR department had just received the message from Wang Xiao, so they routinely said, "Director Jiang, the President's Office has asked the HR department to issue a document giving you a major demerit. Your salary this month will be halved, and it will also be announced to all staff."
Jiang Mengran's fingernails dug into her palm, hurting. She hung up the phone with a bang, then immediately took out another old mobile phone, dialed the number inside, and said, "How are your preparations? Eleven o'clock, Liting Plaza, I'll wait for you." Without waiting for the other party to speak, she hung up the phone, and then went out to take a taxi to Liting Plaza.
At exactly eleven o'clock, Jiang Mengran stood at the intersection of the plaza. She looked around and finally saw a familiar Jaguar. She waved her hand and then walked onto the road.
In a flash, before the pedestrians on the road could react, a black Jaguar rushed over and hit a woman. The pedestrians were in a panic, some screaming, some running away, and some calling the police and ambulance.
As for the Jaguar, after hitting the person, it directly accelerated and fled.
Jiang Mengran closed her eyes tightly, listening to the noisy sounds around her, and waited peacefully for the ambulance to arrive.
......
Jiang Mengmei was completely stunned when she received the call from the hospital. She rushed to the hospital and saw Jiang Mengran lying in the hospital bed, unconscious, with her limbs in casts.
Jiang Mengmei was so scared that her hands and feet went numb. After the sisters quarreled last time, she hadn't contacted Jiang Mengran. She didn't expect to see her lying in the hospital again.
"Sister, Sister, it's Mengmei, can you hear me?" Jiang Mengmei asked with red eyes.
She thought the person on the bed hadn't woken up, but when she spoke, Jiang Mengran opened her eyes.
Jiang Mengmei excitedly wanted to call a doctor, but Jiang Mengran stopped her and then asked her to call Chu Rong.
Jiang Mengmei first tried her own phone, but it was turned off. She then tried Jiang Mengran's phone, but it wasn't answered. She finally had to call the HR department of Chu Corporation and ask them to relay the message.
If an employee of the company was in a car accident, the company could not ignore it for any reason. The HR department then transferred the call to the President's Office. By the time Chu Rong learned of the news and rushed to the hospital, it was already two hours later.
As soon as Jiang Mengmei saw Chu Rong, she started crying, "Sister..." husband.
Before she could finish speaking, she was met with a cold glance. Jiang Mengran was also afraid, so she had to change her words, "President Chu, you're finally here. Hurry and see my sister. Her condition is very bad."
Chu Rong walked into the ward with a somber face.
Jiang Mengran's face was pale and weak. She struggled to sit up and smiled weakly, "Arong, you're here. Actually, I'm really fine. Mengmei didn't listen to me and specifically called you here, causing you to make a trip."
Chu Rong sat down, his brows furrowed, and asked, "What happened?"
Jiang Mengran shook her head, "Don't worry, it's just a minor fracture. I'll be fine after a few months of recuperation."
Jiang Mengmei said sharply from the side, "Sister, why are you still pretending to be strong at this time? If it weren't for the sequelae left from that car accident back then, you wouldn't have suffered today's disaster."
Then she said to Chu Rong, "My sister has suffered from headaches and anemia for many years. Today, she suddenly fainted while walking on the road, which caused the car accident."
Jiang Mengran rebuked, "Mengmei, don't talk nonsense. Go outside and wait. Sister has a few words to say to Arong."
Jiang Mengmei walked out reluctantly, still talking backwards as she walked, "President Chu, don't forget that my sister almost lost her life for you back then. I don't care what misunderstanding there is between you, but you can't let my sister down. Otherwise, I will definitely expose your heartlessness online."
"Mengmei, get out," Jiang Mengran said sternly. As soon as she finished speaking, she coughed, looking as if she was in great pain.
Chu Rong leaned back in his chair, his suspicion undisguised, "You drugged me the day before yesterday, and you had a car accident the next day?"
Jiang Mengran's face instantly turned pale. She cried, "Arong, I know I was wrong about that. I was deceived by a profiteer. That profiteer only said the medicine was for strengthening the body. You don't eat dinner every day, and I was really worried about your health, so I secretly prepared the medicine for you. I never expected it to be... for strengthening the body in that aspect."
Chu Rong's expression was calm, and it was impossible to tell if he was pleased or angry.
Jiang Mengran felt guilty, but her expression became calmer. She said pitifully, "But I know you won't believe anything I say. Forget it. I did give you the medicine. Even if my intentions were good, I ultimately harmed you. I have no face to see you again, nor to go to the company. You can fire me."
