Chapter 24 He took her photo

Seeing Ling Zhou walk away, Rong Zhi took out a metal photo frame from the drawer.

Inside the frame is a brand new photograph.

The two men above, one was wearing a dark purple suit with a black shirt underneath, the collar slightly open.

The younger one was wearing a white suit with a burgundy bow tie on his shirt.

There was also a line of text on the back of the photo.

"My love, for a lifetime"

The four characters, written with vigorous strokes, are powerful and forceful.

The handwriting on the back of the two photos is completely different.

Rong Zhi's face instantly darkened.

He closed the drawer, got up, and went to the bathroom.

Light the photo.

When it was almost completely reduced to ashes, I threw it into the toilet.

The only remaining photo of Bo Xingzhi and Gu Jingheng in the world has completely disappeared.

Ling Zhou arrived at the door of the president's office again and wiped the sweat from his forehead.

Seeing his flustered expression, Mina, the secretary in the president's office, couldn't help but ask, "Director Ling, is something the matter?"

Ling Zhou said anxiously, "Could you please call Assistant Ji out for a moment? I have something very important to tell her."

Minglang happened to be carrying coffee over when he heard this. He stopped and frowned. "Didn't you already talk to her?"

Ling Zhou hesitated for a moment before replying, "Second Master disregarded Madam's orders and forced his way into the chairman's office."

Minglang's pupils contracted, his arm muscles bulged, and a lot of coffee in his cup spilled out. "How dare you open the door without Madam's orders!"

Ling Zhou hurriedly explained, "It was Second Master who opened the door, not me. Apart from the former Secretary Gu, none of us can open the door to the Chairman's office."

Minglang was taken aback. "How does he have an access card?"

Ling Zhou was also completely bewildered. "I don't know either."

Minglang placed the coffee on Mina's desk, wiped his hand with a tissue, and pushed open the door to Sang Yuwan's office.

Vice President Zhou, who was speaking, paused for a moment and glanced at Sang Yuwan sitting at his desk. Seeing that she remained calm, he continued, "There are five bidding companies in total, and the only one with the strength to compete with us is 'Shen's Group'..."

Minglang walked up to Xiansi, leaned close to her ear, and whispered, "Second Master has broken into the chairman's office without permission."

Xian Si was startled and subconsciously looked at Sang Yuwan.

Sang Yuwan frowned slightly and glanced at her out of the corner of her eye.

Xiansi hurriedly said to Minglang, "Go and keep an eye on things first."

"Okay." Minglang pursed his lips and left.

Xian Si felt that Rong Zhi's actions were tantamount to challenging Sang Yuwan's authority. He put down his pen and wrote a sentence in his notebook.

"Madam, the Second Master has sent someone to inform you that he has entered the Chairman's office."

Then, he stood up and handed the notebook to Sang Yuwan.

Sang Yuwan lowered her head, a slight smile playing on her lips, a ruthless glint in her eyes.

This man is indeed after the chairman's position.

Unfortunately, he doesn't have that ability yet.

She holds 36% of the shares in the "Bo Group," while Ning Wanzhen holds 15%, giving them a combined 51% stake. They hold absolute control.

Sang Yuwan's eyelids suddenly twitched. If Rong Zhi acquired the remaining shares, things would be very different.

We must take precautions and not let him be so arrogant.

She took the pen and wrote two words in Xiansi's notebook.

"Expulsion"

Xiansi understood and went outside.

Whether it was due to lack of rest or Rong Zhi's unbridled provocation, she frowned more and more as she listened to the subsequent reports. This alarmed the vice presidents, who assumed there was something wrong with their own reports.

-

As Xiansi arrived at the door of the chairman's office, Minglang happened to come out from inside.

"Why did you come out? Didn't I tell you to keep an eye on things?"

"Second Master is gone." Minglang said irritably, his handsome face tense.

Xian Si looked surprised, seemingly somewhat disbelieving, "You drove him away?"

Minglang shrugged and sneered, "He wouldn't dare disobey the Madam's orders."

Xiansi rolled her eyes at him. "How did he get in?"

Minglang paused for half a second, then said angrily, "It's all because Lingzhou didn't explain things clearly."

Ling Zhou waved his hands repeatedly, "Assistant Ming, you're wronging me. I explained everything very clearly to Second Master..."

Suddenly realizing something, Xian Si interrupted, "How come he has access control to his office?"

Minglang frowned. "Gu Jingheng's access card is in Madam's hands. How did Second Master get in?"

The three looked at each other in bewilderment.

Xian Si's heart tightened. "Go in quickly and see if anything is missing."

As soon as he finished speaking, Minglang turned around and rushed into the office.

Bo Xingzhi was usually very cautious, and he used combination locks on all his important things, such as bookshelves and drawers.

Upon inspection, they found that only one photo was missing from the desk.

Xian Si asked suspiciously, "Why did Second Master take away Madam's photo?"

Anger flared in Minglang's eyes. "I'll go tell Madam right away."

Ling Zhou scratched his head. "I think I saw Second Master open the drawer of his desk?"

Xiansi paused for a moment, then quickly half-squatted down and pulled out the drawers one by one.

The latch is intact and cannot be opened.

Minglang stared at Lingzhou, "Are you sure you saw him open it?"

Ling Zhou's heart raced, and his voice trembled, "Perhaps I saw it wrong..."

"Think about it again." Minglang glared at him fiercely.

“I…” Ling Zhou was sweating profusely again.

Xiansi stood up, took two deep breaths, and said, "Alright. Go out."

Minglang was furious and yelled at Lingzhou, "If anything important is lost, you will be held responsible."

"I..." Ling Zhou's face turned pale, and his body swayed twice.

Xiansi glared at Minglang. "Is this the time to hold people accountable? Besides, he wasn't the one who opened the door."

Minglang blushed and immediately deflated like a punctured balloon.

The sound of high heels approached from afar.

The three of them were startled and looked towards the door.

Sang Yuwan walked in and, seeing the three of them looking rather grim, frowned and asked, "Has Second Master left?"

"They're gone. They even took your photos."

Minglang spoke quickly, only noticing the look in Xuansi's eyes after he finished speaking.

Sang Yuwan's heart skipped a beat, her long eyelashes drooping slightly as she glanced at the desk.

Sure enough, there was nothing left in the wooden picture frame.

Sang Yuwan's heart clenched painfully, then felt as if it had been filled with cold lead and sank.

Before Bo Xingzhi's incident, she, like everyone else, thought he was devoted to one person in relationships.

After the rumors of their affair surfaced, her photo was always displayed on his desk.

It's been so long that the photo looks quite old.

Others praised him even more, saying he was not only devoted but also loyal.

Looking back on it now, it's truly a great irony.

That photo had nothing to do with feelings; it was merely a "prop" that Bo Xingzhi used to cover up his shame.

Did Rong Zhi take the photos to expose Bo Xingzhi's true colors?

Obviously not.

He knelt before Bo Xingzhi's coffin for an entire night, with utmost respect.

She even suspected that their relationship was far more than just that of brothers.

"What else is missing?" Sang Yuwan asked.

Xian Si shook her head. "I don't know." After a pause, she added, "Madam, it seems that the Second Master has access control to his office."

Sang Yuwan sneered, "There's only one access card, and it's in my hands."

The three of them, including Xian Si, were stunned.

Since there's no access control system, could it be fingerprint access?

Minglang asked suspiciously, "The old chairman and Mr. Bo are always cautious, how could they let him come and go as he pleases?"
