Chapter 175: Love is always painful
When Nangong Jin finished lunch and returned to the office, she opened the door and was startled by the man sitting at the desk!
"Manager He, what's the matter? Do you want to talk to me about something?"
Nangong Jin lowered her eyes, calmed herself down, and slowly walked to her seat. This couple simply treated her as their emotional consultant!
He Zhiyuan didn't seem to come back to his senses until he heard her words. He raised his eyes and looked at Nangong Jin: "Yesterday, Zhao Man asked you out. Did she say anything?"
His expression looked a little negative, and there was a hint of sadness between his eyebrows! Nangong Jin looked at him thoughtfully, "We just chatted casually yesterday, nothing special, what's wrong?"
He Zhiyuan looked at her for a few seconds, then slowly said: "I don't know what's wrong with her. From yesterday to today when I returned to the He family, she... was very distant and cold to me!"
His words made Nangong Jin pause in organizing the documents. She quickly glanced at him, then walked to the tea room as if nothing had happened and made some coffee!
Soon, a rich aroma of coffee wafted through the office, and Nangong Jin placed the brewed coffee in front of him!
"Try to drink it first! Manager He!"
From the moment Nangong Jin saw his expression, He Zhiyuan guessed that she knew something about Zhao Man, but he had no right to force her to answer!
He picked up the hot coffee without hesitation and took a sip. The aroma of the coffee and the bitter taste soon made him frown slightly!
But he didn't say anything, just quietly put the coffee back in its place, while Nangong Jin drank it with relish!
"Manager He, the coffee isn't to your taste?"
He Zhiyuan just curled the corners of his mouth slightly and didn't answer!
"I heard that you like Italian coffee, but not many people like its bitterness and sourness, so this is American coffee, which has the aroma of coffee and is easy to drink!"
Her words made He Zhiyuan frown slightly, but Nangong Jin continued, "So, instead of coming to me, you might as well think seriously about what Zhao Man wants!? Feelings can't be forced. Today you can reluctantly accept American coffee, but after a long time, how the two of you are going to go on depends on what you do!"
Her words warmed He Zhiyuan's heart. He picked up the coffee and took another sip. "As you said, I don't like the taste, but... if this is what Zhao Man likes, I will like it too..."
After saying that, he drank the coffee in one gulp. Then he looked at the empty cup and suddenly chuckled: "It seems that I will start to suffer the pain of love! Thank you... I'm leaving!"
Nangong Jin felt the taste of coffee in her mouth and felt that what the other party understood was a little different from what she wanted to express, but she just smiled and watched him leave!
Nangong Jin could imagine that if Zhao Man suddenly disappeared, this man would definitely go crazy!
Suddenly, there was a knock on the door again, "Knock knock knock..."
Nangong Jin turned her head and thought it was He Zhiyuan who came back. She was about to speak, but she saw that the person coming was Su He!
"Brother, why are you here?"
Su He came to the desk with his briefcase and glanced at the cup on the table, "Is someone coming?"
"Oh, He Zhiyuan came to sit with me for a while just now! What do you want to talk to me about?"
Nangong Jin stood up and put away the cups. Su He's voice came from behind him: "There has been progress on the matter you asked me to do. I will take you to find the files from that year!"
"Really?"
Nangong Jin hurriedly put down the cup and quickly walked to Su He. Su He just smiled and raised his hand to touch her head, "It's getting late, let's go!"
Nangong Jin quickly picked up his briefcase and pulled Su He out, "Don't worry, Junior Sister, be careful!"
Along the way, Nangong Jin pursed his lips, said nothing, held the bag tightly in both hands, and looked extremely nervous!
Su He watched her out of the corner of his eye, wanting to say something but stopping himself. In the end, he just withdrew his gaze and held the steering wheel tightly!
Soon the car stopped in front of the Public Security Bureau building. Nangong Jin looked at this solemn place and trembled a little. As a good citizen, she seldom came to such a place. Although she was a lawyer, her major was commercial law and she had been staying abroad!
"Don't be nervous, you have me here. As the president of a large company, this kind of scene won't scare you!"
Nangong Jin felt relieved when he heard the other party's jokes. "Yeah, you're right. Let's go in!"
Su He considerately took the briefcase from her hand and walked in front of her to lead the way!
Seeing that there were staff members in police uniforms inside, Nangong Jin's tension, which had finally eased, surged up again. She could only put her hands behind her back and pretend to be calm!
"Hello, I'm here to see Director Zhang! My name is Su He, please pass me on!"
"OK, just a second!"
The staff member dialed the number skillfully, and soon she stood up: "Director Zhang asked you to come in! He's on the third floor!"
"Thank you!"
After Su He politely thanked the other party, he turned around to look at Nangong Jin’s pale face, and couldn’t help but smile and pulled her forward!
"Junior sister, what are you thinking about? Did you do something wrong? Why are you so scared?"
"How can I not!"
Su He chatted with her in a relaxed tone, and soon they arrived at the director's office!
“Knock knock knock… Director Zhang, long time no see!”
The man inside was wearing a uniform and looked intimidating. He stood up and walked towards Su He: "Su He, it's been a long time since we last met. You are a busy man and everyone in the judicial community knows you. I always wanted you to be a prosecutor, but you didn't even give me the face! Hahaha..."
"No, Director Zhang, this is the president of my current company, Miss Nangong Jin!"
"Hello, Director Zhang!"
"I didn't expect that he became the CEO at such a young age. No wonder Su He..."
"Cough cough cough..."
Director Zhang looked at Su He's embarrassed reaction and immediately understood, "I'll have someone take you to the archives room, but for safety reasons, you can only look up the files inside and you can't take them away!"
Nangong Jin quickly said: "Don't worry, I won't make it difficult for you!"
"Well, then you go first, Xiao Li, take them to the archives room!"
"Then you go ahead and do your work. I'll treat you to dinner next time!"
Soon, the two of them were led by the staff to the archive room. "All the files here are filed by year, month and day, so you just need to look for them according to the date above!"
"Thank you!"
Nangong Jin heaved a sigh of relief only after the other party left. Looking at the rows of shelves inside, he suddenly felt a little overwhelmed, "Senior Brother..."
"I have sorted out the timeline of that year. We just need to look for it within this range. I will help you!"
Because the accident happened twenty years ago, the area they were searching was covered with dust and cobwebs!
"Cough cough cough..."
"Let me do it. If you see me, just call me!"
Su He took off his coat and searched there bit by bit without getting tired of it. Nangong Jin felt his nose sore and suddenly wanted to cry!
I don't know how long it took, it was hot and stuffy inside, and the two of them were sweating profusely, "Found it, Junior Sister!"
Su He's hands were covered in dust and were black in color. Nangong Jin quickly took out a handkerchief and helped him wipe them carefully. Neither of them spoke, and time seemed to stand still!
Su He looked at Nangong Jin's thick eyelashes with tenderness, which flickered as if gently sweeping across his heart!
"Alright! Brother!"
"Thank you!"
Nangong Jin couldn't wait to take the file and didn't pay attention to Su He's expression!
"At that time, three people died, including the driver, and only He Zichen survived. The result at that time was determined to be an accident..."
Nangong Jin looked at it carefully, frowning, but could not find any useful clues from the file!
Su He came forward, took the file, and glanced at it. "A normal case takes at least seven days from the beginning to the end, and this case involves human life. From the investigation to the autopsy and investigation, it will take at least several months!"
Then he pointed to the closing date of the case file and said, "This case was hastily closed in just three days. This shows that the person behind this is either rich or powerful!"
Nangong Jin felt as if he had fallen into an icy cave after hearing this. Three lives were so insignificant in the eyes of those people!
