The moment Meng Shiping turned around, the corners of Song Yu's raised mouth slowly fell, and his eyes became cold in an instant, as if covered with a layer of frost.

He watched Meng Shiping's back disappear from sight, his indifferent expression remained unchanged until the knock on the door sounded.

Song Yu's out-of-focus pupils focused instantly. Meng Shiping didn't close the office door for him when he left. He saw Zhou Yanqing standing at the door holding a coat.

His heart tightened suddenly, Song Yu quickly put away the hostility in his eyes, and asked Zhou Yanqing in a warm voice: "What's wrong?"

Zhou Yanqing's tightly clenched hands hidden under his coat loosened, his gaze lingered on Song Yu's restless fingers for a moment, and then he walked into the office: "It's time to get off work, I'll bring you the clothes."

"Well, just put it on the sofa."

Zhou Yanqing put Song Yu's coat on the back of the sofa, and didn't leave right away. He took another step forward and asked, "Mr. Is it trending?"

"Sit down first." Song Yu pointed to the sofa, and asked knowingly, "You also saw the trending search?" The matter of Han Jin and Su Yin had to be publicized on the bright side to be effective, and Song Yu knew to hide it Zhou Yanqing couldn't help but didn't want to hide it.

Zhou Yanqing clenched his fists and hid behind his back. He had done a long time of psychological construction outside just now, and he thought he could face it calmly, but when he faced Song Yu directly, all the external camouflage he had erected collapsed.

He investigated for several months and went through two lifetimes, trying to analyze Han Jin and Meng Shiping's motives for killing Song Yu. For money, fame, and affection, he imagined almost all possibilities, but there were always some things that lacked logic and made no sense. Until just now, he received a hot search push message on Weibo and clicked in. After reading the headline article posted by "Nonsense and Gossip", he suddenly understood.

Yes, if Han Jin blamed Song Yu for his sister's death, it would make sense that he deliberately approached Song Yu for revenge. Maybe it's not just revenge, as netizens guessed, Han Jin, like his sister, has a perverted admiration for Song Yu, and everything he does is to satisfy his crazy selfish desires.

Recalling the first time we met on the island, Han Jin’s increasingly undisguised staring eyes at Song Yu, Han Jin’s sinister look and aggressive warning when he asked himself if he liked Song Yu, plus Zhou Yanqing confirmed that this conjecture was correct when Han Jin targeted and framed him before.

Zhou Yanqing's psychology was full of mixed feelings, all kinds of emotions were inflated to the extreme, anger to the extreme, distress to the extreme, and sadness to the extreme. As a normal person, he couldn't understand how love could be twisted into a perverted selfish desire, twisted into a rope for killing people.

Even though he was staying in the heated room, Zhou Yanqing trembled violently. He bit his lower lip tightly with his teeth so as not to let himself whimper.

Song Yu didn't expect Zhou Yanqing's reaction to be so strong, he could feel that Zhou Yanqing was more resentful and sad than himself. Looking at Zhou Yanqing who was about to cry, he felt very uncomfortable. He wanted to hug Zhou Yanqing and make him cry whenever he wanted, but the timing was not right.

Song Yu gritted his teeth and did not say a word. He silently lit a cigarette. After the cigarette was finished, Zhou Yanqing's mood stabilized a little.

He crushed the cigarette butt in the ashtray, and then said: "Brother Meng is here to talk about this matter, and he just took this opportunity to terminate the contract with Han Jin, and we don't have to pay liquidated damages."

In a flash of inspiration, Zhou Yanqing suddenly realized something, and raised his head in surprise: "Then this hot search..."

Song Yu smiled: "I let Brother Chai do it."

After reading the trending search, Zhou Yanqing fell into the muddy of emotions, unable to calm down and think at all. Hearing what Song Yu said at this moment, he suddenly calmed down and his mind started to work again.

The night before returning to City S, did Song Yu have this plan when he said "I won't let Han Jin sign the contract"? So he already knew

That's right, Su Yin has been dead for four years, and she has been separated from Han Jin since she was a child. They are no longer siblings in terms of household registration. Unless someone deliberately checks, no one will find out.

Song Yu knew what Zhou Yanqing was thinking, but he didn't want to answer. He looked at Zhou Yanqing firmly: "Did you forget what you promised me before?"

Zhou Yanqing looked at Song Yu blankly.

Song Yu sighed, sat a little closer, grabbed Zhou Yanqing's hand, and looked at him seriously: "Just treat this job as an internship task."

"I..." Zhou Yanqing didn't speak for a long time, and finally succumbed to Song Yu's sincere gaze after a long time, and said softly, "Got it."

"Well, leave the rest to me." Song Yu smiled with satisfaction, and abruptly changed the subject, "I've finished reading the script, and I have some suggestions for you, do you want to read it?"

Zhou Yan lowered his head lightly. He understood that Song Yu was diverting his attention, and after thinking for two seconds, he pretended to smile excitedly: "Okay, let me see."

Song Yu directly handed his tablet to Zhou Yanqing: "I made changes directly on your document. I used red fonts. It's just my personal opinion. If you can refer to it, please refer to it."

"Okay." Zhou Yan took the tablet lightly, "Then I'll go out first."

"Well, let's go, it's almost time to get off work."

Zhou Yan got up slowly, and the few steps to the door were extremely difficult. When he reached the door, he still stopped and asked, "Mr. Song, did you know about this before... before?"

how long ago

know what

Although Zhou Yanqing asked ambiguously, Song Yu answered very simply, he shook his head: "I don't know, Brother Chai just found out."

have no idea…

Zhou Yan recited these three words silently and walked back to his desk.

After sitting there for a while, it was time to get off work. Zhou Yanqing walked into Song Yu's office without much energy and asked him when he got off work.

Song Yu said that there is something to deal with, and I will go back later.

Zhou Yan lightly remembered how Song Yu ran to his place last night in despair, and said worriedly: "If you still have nightmares, go to my place."

Song Yu's heavy thoughts were suddenly swept away, and his mood suddenly became exceptionally good, like a light was turned on in a dark room, like the sun popping out of a gloomy sky, he smiled and replied: " good."

After everyone got off work, the entire company seemed to have been pressed on the mute button, except for the whistle-like sound of the cold wind blowing and rubbing against the building, which was a bit desolate when listened carefully.

Song Yu was unmoved, and leaned on the sofa to read a book leisurely. Zhou Yanqing gave him a pot of scented tea before leaving get off work, and he was quite comfortable while drinking the tea and reading a book.

Half an hour later, knocking on the door interrupted his lazy time.

"Why haven't you left yet?" Meng Shiping leaned against the door and asked knowingly.

"Why didn't you leave?" Song Yu asked back.

"I've been on the phone all afternoon." Meng Shiping replied, "I just finished my work."

"They're all here to inquire about Han Jin's hot search?"
