within Temptation

Chapter 259 Spy
This time I was injured, and I had to lie in the hospital for more than a month, and then I went home and recuperated for another month before I fully recovered.

But the physical injury is nothing compared to the pain of Fei Leina leaving me.After a full year and a half, I completely got out of the influence of this love affair on me, looked forward to my life again, and began to face the future life with a normal attitude.

I don't have much to say about this injury.When my family asked, I said that because of a little friction, I had a fight with a group of hooligans.As for who these hooligans were, I said I didn't know them, and I didn't ask my family to call the police.In fact, I knew calling the police was of no use.Those who beat me were just a bunch of minions, and the real mastermind was Lu Fei's grandfather.And Lu Fei's grandfather is a big boss in the city's underworld. If you want him to be punished, it's not something a small person like me can do.

Moreover, once I report to the police, it is very likely that I will be retaliated by the underworld.I am not afraid of death, but I am afraid of putting my family in danger.For the safety of my family, I would rather swallow my anger and not make more troubles.

However, to my surprise, although I held back my breath, these people who beat me still did not escape the punishment of the law.Just over two months after I was injured, the government immediately launched a heavy blow and launched a black storm.Dozens of gang-related cases have been cracked and a large number of gang-related people have been arrested.

I read from the newspaper that the well-known mafia boss in this city, who is honored as Lord Lu, was also arrested in this crackdown.A group of thugs under him were also arrested and brought to justice one after another.Among them was a criminal nicknamed "Crazy Tiger", who was shot dead on the spot because he resisted arrest and committed an attack during the police arrest operation.

It's true that the legal net is back and forth, and it's sparse but not missing.If I don't need to take revenge on those lawless people, naturally they won't end well.

About half a year later, Lu Fei came to me once and expressed apology to me instead of her grandfather.She told me that during the government's crackdown on gangsters, six members of her family were arrested because of varying degrees of gangster involvement, and a large number of related businesses and properties were closed or confiscated.Today's Lu family has been devastated, and is no longer as prominent as it used to be.And she became independent.She continued to run her own beauty salon and lived a normal life.

Of course, because of the decline of her family and the death of Kuanghu, she doesn't have to be a victim of the family marriage, and she truly has the right to freedom and love.

She knew that Fei Leina and I had broken up, and while expressing regret and comfort to me, she also vaguely expressed her willingness to associate with me.But at that time, I hadn't come out of the pain of being broken in love, and I really didn't want to bring up topics like feelings.I didn't respond to Lu Fei's statement.

However, this does not prevent me and Lu Fei from becoming good friends.Although this woman was influenced by her family when she was studying, she was a bad girl for a while.But when he grew up, he was not spoiled by his family, but was kind and docile, upright and righteous.I am very grateful for the sacrifice she made for me and Fei Leina, and I sincerely regard her as my good friend, or in other words, a confidante.

As soon as my health is better, I will go back to work at the company.Now that love has been lost, the only thing left in my life is to work hard and save money for my family.Because of my frugality, I saved more than 5 yuan in one year.And at the end of this year, my immediate boss, Hu Guoliang, the head of our logistics department, was resolutely eliminated by the company's boss Tang Xiaoru because he was found out by the company for taking bribes from certain customers and betraying the company's interests. go out.

After Hu Guoliang left, I, the deputy director of the logistics department, was immediately promoted to a full-time job, and my salary was increased by one level.I believe that next year, I will be able to save more money, and my sister Yingying's eyes will be treated sooner.

Speaking of Tang Xiaoru, the boss of the company, during this year, my relationship with her has also improved to a certain extent.In fact, I didn't have any conflicts with her at all, but she alienated me because she had opinions on the matter of my breakup with Shi Shanshan.When she was injured and hospitalized, she came to see me as soon as she heard the news, and she was the first person in the company to visit me.From now on, she would always take time to visit me and care about my recovery.

The fact that a company boss can treat her employees like this is enough to show that she still regards me as a friend and treats me differently.

It's just that, at that time, my heart was completely occupied by Fei Leina, and I no longer had any fantasies or complacency about Tang Xiaoru's concern.Although we are still the same as before, we continue to be friends with her, but we no longer have the feeling of longing and worrying about gains and losses.

After Fei Leina left me, I never heard from her again.Even Lu Fei couldn't contact her who was already in the United States.I don't know if Fei Leina is determined to forget me, or it is really inconvenient in the United States. After she left, there has never been a letter, let alone a phone call.I don't know anything about her current situation. When I broke up with her, I completely cut off all contact.

The longing for Fei Leina did not slowly begin to weaken until a year after she left.After another half a year, I finally faced up to myself and decided to start a new life.People can't always live in the past, no matter how strong the feelings are, they will start to fade after a long time.That beautiful relationship can be the memory of my whole life, but it can't be the whole of my life.Otherwise, it is impossible for me to have happiness and hope in this life.

This day was at the end of June 2007.It was almost exactly one and a half years since Fei Leina's departure.In the evening, the company's middle-level and above executives stayed and held a meeting on work summary for the first half of the year and work expectations for the second half of the year.I am the head of the logistics department, and of course I have to attend the meeting, and I made a speech at the meeting summarizing the work of the department in the first half of the year.

This meeting, due to the many contents and many speakers, did not end until 09:30 in the evening.After Tang Xiaoru, who presided over the meeting, announced the end of the meeting, everyone who had long been looking forward to the end immediately dispersed and left the company like a swarm.

Because I had nothing important to do, I didn't rush to leave first. Instead, I went back to my office and dealt with the unfinished work during the day.However, in about ten minutes, I was done.When I left the office, I happened to see Tang Xiaoru and Han Zhi, who had become the vice president of the company, coming together.

I nodded and said hello, "President Tang, Vice President Han, why did you leave?"

When Tang Xiaoru saw me, she just smiled and nodded, but Han Zhi smiled and said, "Minister Dai, why didn't you leave?"

I laughed and said, "Oh, because I had to prepare for the summary during the day, I didn't have time to finish some other work. As soon as the meeting was over, I came back to deal with it."

While speaking, Tang Xiaoru and Han Zhi had already walked in front of me.Han Zhi smiled and said, "Really? Just right, I just complained that Boss Tang held the meeting so late, and I wanted to give her a ride. Since you haven't left yet, let's come together. Anyway, neither of us Car, if you don’t take it, you don’t take it for nothing.”

When I heard this, I quickly shook my head and said, "I'll let it go. Mr. Tang lives in the east of the city, but I live in the west of the city. It's not on the way at all."

But after Tang Xiaoru glanced at me, she said, "It's okay, I have nothing important tonight anyway, so I'll send you two off."

I wanted to decline, but Han Zhi made the decision for me first, saying: "That's it, Minister Dai, today we will take Mr. Tang's car. Who told her to delay the meeting so late on purpose, so that we couldn't even get on the bus?" Can't even sit in the car?"

Tang Xiaoru whispered: "How could I do it on purpose? There are a lot of things in the meeting, so it takes such a long time."

"Why didn't you do it on purpose? I've counted. The summary speeches of the heads of each department in the company did not exceed 10 minutes. As for you, Mr. Tang, when you made the summary and the work plan for the second half of the year, you talked for nearly [-] minutes in one breath. One hour. My mother, I remember that when the annual summary meeting was held at the end of last year, it was not as long as tonight. Didn't you mean it?"

Mr. Tang had no choice but to smile helplessly, and said, "Okay, okay, I know you are tired after working all day, and you have such a long meeting at night, do you have resentment in your heart? Am I willing to make amends and agree to drive?" Have you sent the two of you home, and won't you let me go?"

"Hee hee, that's about the same, Minister Dai, then let's thank Mr. Tang together!"

Hearing this, I couldn't help frowning slightly.Since Han Zhi became the vice president of the company, I always feel that she is no longer as respectful and cautious to Tang Xiaoru as before.Although I still use your respectful title in terms of address, but in terms of attitude, I am much more casual and careless.

However, Tang Xiaoru doesn't seem to mind Han Zhi's subtle changes, so it's hard for me to say anything.It's just that in my heart, I have some bad opinions on this Han Zhi.

Originally, I had a good impression of Han Zhi. Although this person is usually a little indifferent to ordinary employees and has an over-the-top eye, he can enthusiastically lend a helping hand when I need it.But ever since she got drunk and acted like a libertine that night, I've had a problem with this woman's duplicity.Now, Han Zhi is showing more of a different character than before, it really has to make people feel a little uneasy.

At this time, Tang Xiaoru looked at me again, smiled at me slightly and said, "Let's go, there is something I want to ask you. By the way, I will send you back."

I froze and blurted out, "What's the matter?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled and said, "Let's talk in the car."

With that said, she and Han Zhi had already started walking towards the elevator.I had no choice but to follow in a hurry, so I didn't refuse to take a ride.

Soon, we went downstairs and got into Tang Xiaoru's car.Since Han Zhi's home is closer than mine, Tang Xiaoru drove in the direction of Han Zhi's home first.

Not long after driving, Han Zhi suddenly asked me with a smile: "By the way, Minister Dai, everyone in our company knows that you are frugal. You smoke cigarettes that cost a few dollars, and eat those that cost a few dollars. Box lunch. I insist on taking the bus to and from get off work every day. I never take a taxi home unless it is a last resort. I am surprised, now that you are a supervisor-level employee of the company, you have almost every month’s salary plus bonuses. Eight, 9000 yuan, right? Even though your family was poor before, you have been in the company for two years, and you have been the head of the logistics department for almost half a year. It stands to reason that your income has been quite a lot in the past two years. Why? How about living such a hard and simple life?"

I just smiled, thinking that there is no need to seriously tell you the purpose of saving my money, so I said lightly: "I have always been poor, and I can't live a life of extravagance. If I have money, I like it." Save it, don't want to spend it."

Han Zhi giggled, and said with interest, "Really? I think you saved it for future marriage, right? By the way, it's been almost two years, and it seems that I have never heard of you handing in another one." Girlfriend. I think you are old enough. Personal problems should be resolved quickly. Shall I help you find one? Ha ha!"

I frowned slightly again, feeling a little unhappy in my heart.But Tang Xiaoru is here, I can't say anything, so I just smiled and said: "Let's talk, I'm not in a hurry."

"Not in a hurry? Can't you? Are you 27 this year? A 27-year-old man..."

Before Han Zhi finished speaking, Tang Xiaoru, who had been driving in silence, suddenly interrupted: "Han Zhi, has your mother's illness improved recently?"

Upon hearing this, Han Zhi immediately lost her smile.He didn't make fun of me any more, so he sighed and said to Tang Xiaoru: "It's still the same. I've been lying on the hospital bed for almost five years, and I'm just hanging like this. Oh, these years I Working hard, the little salary she earns is not enough to cover her medical expenses. If this continues, I don't know when I will be tall!"

"Yes, there is really no way for the old man's disease with modern medicine, so I have to do my best and obey the destiny. It's just because of you. In order to treat your mother, you have been doing this and that over the years, tired Is it broken?"

Han Zhi was silent for a moment, her expression seemed a little unnatural.After a while, she gave a shy smile and said, "Mr. Tang, what are you talking about? I should be a daughter. All right, all right, let's not talk about these uncomfortable things."

From the rearview mirror in the car, I seemed to see Tang Xiaoru smiling strangely.Then, she really stopped talking.And Han Zhi seemed to have suddenly lost the interest in talking, so he leaned on the back of the car seat and closed his eyes to rest.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little subtle.I do know that Han Zhi has a mother who is paralyzed in bed and needs to live on drugs in the hospital all year round.Han Zhi can be regarded as a filial daughter, working so hard, almost all the money she earns is spent on treating her mother.So last time I went to her home, all I saw were old furniture. As the vice president of the company, she earns 10,000+ a year, but she still can't afford a car.Originally, this was something admirable, but why did Han Zhi feel unnatural when Tang Xiaoru said it?

Not long after, Han Zhi's home arrived.Han Zhi bid farewell to us in a hurry, got out of the car and walked into her building immediately.Tang Xiaoru didn't say much, jumped the front of the car, and started driving in the direction of my house.

Now, only Tang Xiaoru and I were left in the car, so I asked, "Mr. Tang, you said you wanted to ask me earlier, what exactly is it?"

Tang Xiaoru seemed to ponder for a while, and said, "Well, I want to ask you, since you came to the company, has Han Zhi... asked you about me secretly?"

I was stunned for a moment, and immediately sensed that Tang Xiaoru seemed to have some doubts about Han Zhi, and said, "What's the matter? Is there any problem with Vice President Han?"

Tang Xiaoru smiled slightly, and said: "Someone told me that he once saw Han Zhi and Mr. Fei's wife meet in a secret place, and they talked for 10 minutes. Then think of some of the past As for the matter, I suspected that this Han Zhi was my wife's eyes and ears. Otherwise, she wouldn't know so clearly about some of my affairs."

Now I was really stunned, Han Zhi was actually a spy sent by Fei Leina's mother?No way?

But when Tang Xiaoru said this, I immediately thought of something.No one except Lu Fei knows about my falling in love with Fei Leina.Although Fei Leina's mother saw me in the celebrity club that day, I was alone in the box at that time.In addition, Lu Fei publicly announced that I was her boyfriend. It can be said that most people would never think about the relationship between me and Fei Leina.But I remember that day when I was very drunk at Han Zhi's house, I seemed to answer Feleina's call in front of Han Zhi's face, and I said to Feleina I love you.At noon the next day, Feleena's mother grasped all the truth and suddenly appeared in front of me and her daughter.

At that time, I was so concerned about the future of Fei Leina and me, I never thought about how her mother would know so soon.Later, Fei Leina left me, which made me lose all hope, and I didn't think about the joints at all.Now that Tang Xiaoru suddenly raised her doubts, I immediately thought that besides Lu Fei, only Han Zhi might know about Fei Leina and me.Could it be that she was the one who betrayed me?
Thinking of this, the more I think about it, the more likely it is.Because that day after Han Zhi and I came out after drinking, she acted inexplicably.First, she insisted that I go into her house for tea, then she undressed to seduce me to bed, and finally asked me who my current girlfriend was.

If she didn't mean to troll me, why did she act like that?
I couldn't help but gasped, and blurted out: "I see! No wonder Fei Lei and I..."

But as soon as the words came out of my mouth, I immediately knew something was wrong.My love affair with Fei Leina is a pain in my heart. Except for Lu Fei, I have never told anyone, even my mother, who doesn't know about it.Although Tang Xiaoru is my friend, for some reason, I don't want to share this matter with her.This time I almost blurted out, I hurriedly stopped my mouth and didn't say any more.

However, I saw in the rearview mirror that Tang Xiaoru was smiling faintly. After a while, she said softly, "No wonder why? Could it be that she told you about the matter between you and Fei Leina?"

My face flushed red all of a sudden.Gazing at Tang Xiaoru in the rearview mirror, he was shocked for a long time before he asked Aiai: "You... how do you know that Fei Leina and I... have something to do?"

Tang Xiaoru still smiled lightly, and said: "Have you forgotten? Fei Leina's father and I have the kind of relationship that everyone thinks. Since there is a relationship, of course I heard about it from him. By the way, Fei Leina Reina's father even asked me about you specifically. What kind of character are you, kid? You actually fascinated her precious daughter so fascinated that she wanted to die?"
