Gu Tanfeng, who was sitting in the office, was twirling the pen in his hand. His eyes, which used to be sharp, didn't have a trace of focus at this moment, as if he was thinking deeply about something.
His mental state was particularly serious. He didn't even hear He Zeng knocking on the door several times, and his eyes were still blurry.
He Zeng had no choice but to return to the office and dial the internal line. The crisp and melodious ringtone of the phone pulled Gu Tanfeng back from his mental state. His deep eyes slowly began to focus, and he looked at the phone that kept ringing.
Gu Tanfeng, who had always reacted extremely quickly, became extremely slow at this moment. He stared at the phone for a full three seconds before he reached out to press the answer button. After he picked up the call, his voice was full of exhaustion and impatience. "Speak."
"President, there's an urgent letter that needs your signature." He Zeng was particularly helpless against his inexplicable temper. He still cleared his throat and spoke in an especially serious tone.
"Come in." Gu Tanfeng still spoke concisely. After hanging up the phone, he stretched out a hand and rubbed his tightly knitted eyebrows. He smoothed out the wrinkles between his eyebrows, but he couldn't calm his heart that was constantly sinking, as if it was tied to a thousand pounds of steel, into the abyss.
A clear knock sounded again, and then the door was gently opened. He Zeng's figure appeared at the door, holding a pile of documents. When he closed the door, his originally gentle face began to develop in the direction of a dignified direction, and his breathing also became heavier.
After staying at the door for two or three seconds, He Zeng continued to hold the pile of documents and walked in the direction of Gu Tanfeng's desk. With every step he took, the dignified expression on his face became clearer.
He Zeng's footsteps finally stopped half a meter in front of the desk. He nodded at Gu Tanfeng with great respect, and placed the pile of documents in his hand neatly in front of Gu Tanfeng. He also placed the paper in his palm next to the documents, appearing inconspicuous.
Her movements were as smooth as flowing water in front of Gu Tanfeng's sharp eyes. She accurately captured that tiny piece of paper, but only stayed on it for two minutes.
"President, these are all urgent documents. You need to sign them immediately and then send them to each department." He Zeng took a step back after handing over the documents and explained carefully.
The other meaning was for Gu Tanfeng to quickly review these documents, including the inconspicuous note. The corner of his mouth still had a standard, formal smile, and his hands were obediently placed in front of him.
In a second, Gu Tanfeng understood why Xu Changjun had gone through so much trouble to hide his real target. Could it be that they were being watched?
Countless thoughts flashed through his mind like lightning, and then he reached out to take the pen and carefully read it. It was an urgent document. His other hand silently unfolded the folded pieces of paper, and from the corner of his eye, he imprinted the information into his memory.
"This is …" Gu Tanfeng's heart was like a roller coaster. It had just fallen into the abyss, but now it slowly rose to his throat.
"It's a real estate case with Boss Lin." Before Gu Tanfeng could finish his question, He Zeng took the risk of being stared at coldly by Gu Tanfeng and drove away first.
As soon as he finished speaking, a figure quickly swept past the office door. It was so fast that ordinary people would only think it was a gust of wind. But in that second, Gu Tanfeng's eyes also narrowed slightly, and he threw a look at He Zeng.
Time passed second by second. At this moment, only the sound of even breathing could be heard in the highly enclosed secret room. Even if their will began to dissipate, and their eyelids seemed to become heavier and heavier, they still persisted.
At this moment, a strange voice full of malice sounded in the lost room, breaking the long quiet atmosphere.
"You guys, do you think it's fun?" There was a hint of a smile in the voice, and there seemed to be endless confidence in the tone. It was a feeling that everything was in the palm of the hand.
This feeling made Wan Qianqian feel very uncomfortable. Her face was full of anger, and there was also a bit of fear in that anger. Because this sentence had sounded many times in the nightmare, she subconsciously overlapped the two voices.
One was a young voice, and the other was a mature voice. At this moment, they matched perfectly in her mind, causing her to suddenly raise her head and look around.
The voice came from all directions, lingering in the secret room. It made it impossible to find the real source of the voice, and it greatly aroused the fear in people's hearts.
"Who are you!" Wan Qianqian gritted her teeth as she spat out those words. Hearing that voice, she felt as if her heart was about to burn, and the anger gradually spread to her pair of bright and beautiful eyes. Her stubborn expression was completely revealed, and it was filled with fearlessness.
Xu Changjun tightly pursed his thin lips and looked straight ahead. His eyes stared straight ahead without blinking, and there was no emotion on his face.
After a long time, that malicious voice did not appear again, and the lost room once again fell into silence. But this time, besides the sound of breathing, there were some sounds of hunger in the stomach.
"I told you to let go at that time, but you didn't listen." The air was silent, so quiet that a wave of awkwardness and oppression constantly floated in the air. Wan Qianqian could only helplessly find a topic to talk about.
When her voice just fell, Xu Changjun immediately said, "I will definitely protect you, no matter what, I will not let go."
Because her throat had not been moisturized for a long time, it was particularly dry and hoarse. Listening to it, there was a feeling of a spring breeze. And his voice revealed bursts of determination, so no one would doubt what he said.
For a moment, Wan Qianqian did not know how to respond to Xu Changjun's words. She just kept blinking her bright eyes, and as time passed, she gradually lowered her eyes.
Just as she was about to open her mouth and change the topic, all the lights in the secret room suddenly turned off. The secret room that was brightly lit now became incomparably dark, and she could not see her fingers in front of her.
"Be careful." Xu Changjun immediately stood in front of Wan Qianqian, and extremely vigilantly pricked up his ears to listen to the surrounding movements.
"Qianqian, how is it?" A voice as gentle as water reached Wan Qianqian's ears, arousing a burst of ecstasy in her heart. She subconsciously opened her mouth and wanted to call out that person's name.
But in the next moment, her throat seemed to be violently choked by a pair of large hands, and she could not even make a sound. A projected image appeared on one of the walls. In the image, Gu Tanfeng looked at the pale woman on the bed with an extremely pitiful gaze, and reached out to tidy up the slightly messy hair on her forehead.
What shocked Wan Qianqian was that the pale woman on the bed had facial features that were exactly the same as her! Her expression and expression were the same as hers, but this image was unfamiliar.
Wan Qianqian was also particularly clear that the person lying on the bed was not herself, but Gu Tanfeng was indeed sitting on the edge of the bed. At that moment, she felt as if a muffled thunder had ruthlessly exploded in her mind, blasting her ability to think into powder, and there was only a blank expression on her face.
This scene was also seen by Xu Changjun. He stretched out his slender arm and gently patted her shoulder, and his voice contained endless worry. "Qianqian, are you okay?"
"What the hell is going on …" Wan Qianqian, who had returned to her senses after being called by Xu Changjun, stared blankly at the scene in front of her, and asked with trembling lips.
The length of the video was not very long, only two or three minutes. Every second was like a sharp knife constantly stabbing into her originally lively heart, causing a devastating result.
After the video ended, the light in the darkness returned again, but it could not illuminate Wan Qianqian, who had now stepped into the darkness.
Xu Changjun slightly pursed his lips and stared at her pale face. A trace of sadness flashed across his narrow eyes, and then he sighed deeply.
"After you were kidnapped that day, I received the closed-circuit video of the Gu residence. There was indeed someone pretending to be you and moving into the Gu residence, but the closed-circuit video was also tampered with. I dare not gamble with your safety." Xu Changjun pondered for a second or two, and finally said what he had said that day.
Wan Qianqian, who had gradually regained her ability to think, began to show a trace of puzzlement on her face, and the corners of her mouth pursed into an exceptionally gloomy smile.
She asked Xu Changjun with a slightly incredulous tone, "So from the beginning, this person's target was you?"
"You can say that, or rather, his target was the two of us." Hearing her words, Xu Zhangjun's heart instinctively tightened. Only when he felt that there was no resentment in her tone did he slightly relax.
Wan Qianqian, who seemed to understand, nodded slightly. A trace of wrinkles appeared between her beautiful eyebrows, and her two light pink lips were gently pursed at this moment, thinking about something secretly.
It was not until a few minutes later that she recovered from her thoughts. Her probing gaze directly met Xu Changjun's calm eyes, and her voice was full of seriousness. "Do you know who that person is?"
Xu Changjun's face did not show the slightest surprise, as if this question was within his expectations, but he did not immediately answer.
That pair of bright and beautiful eyes continuously swept across his face, clearly capturing that ever-changing expression. However, his thin lips were still tightly pursed, and he did not have the slightest intention of replying.
The feeling of uneasiness in Wan Qianqian's heart grew stronger. Her voice gradually became strong and cold, and she directly pressed Xu Changjun, "Xu Changjun, do you know who it is?!"
"Yes." This time, Xu Changjun finally answered, but his answer was only one word. After a few seconds, his thin lips opened again, "If my guess is right, it is Ling Yuxuan."
