Chapter 194 No clues found
Ever since Jiang Chengjun asked Gu Fanxing for news about Du Fei, time has passed quietly like flowing water. During this seemingly calm but undercurrent period, Jiang Chengjun and Fang Wenwen's hearts were always as tense as a fully drawn bowstring.
Every minute and every second, they were on high alert, like night owls stalking in the dark, always paying attention to the movements around them, and their focus was Du Fei's every move.
Ms. X's series of events were like a ferocious beast, lurking in the dark, ready to open its bloody mouth and devour them at any time.
Jiang Chengjun and Fang Wenwen were like foxes lurking in the bushes, carefully observing everything around them, and Du Fei's every move was the most deadly trace of the hunter in their eyes.
They were like two ghosts, spying on Du Fei in the dark, not missing any moment that might reveal information.
In that small secret base, the dim light flickered, as if silently telling of their inner uneasiness.
"Tell me, how far has Du Fei investigated?"
Jiang Chengjun frowned, his eyes flashing with anxiety.
His fingers tapped on the table unconsciously, and the "tapping" sound was like a countdown clock, and each tap hit their tense nerves.
Fang Wenwen also had a serious expression on her face. She bit her lower lip slightly and said after thinking for a moment, "I don't know, but he has been too calm recently, so calm that it makes people uneasy. We can't take it lightly."
Her voice sounded a little hoarse in this depressing environment, as if her throat was strangled by the dull air.
However, as time passed, for nearly a month, they did not find any signs of abnormality from Du Fei.
Du Fei was like a bottomless lake, with a calm surface and not a single ripple for them to detect.
He still worked and lived according to the routine every day. The regular and almost rigid schedule made Jiang Chengjun and Fang Wenwen deeply confused.
"Is he just being mysterious? Are we overthinking it?" Jiang Chengjun muttered to himself with some doubt. His frown relaxed a little, but the doubt in his eyes did not completely disappear.
Fang Wenwen also began to waver. She paced back and forth in the room, and her high heels made a crisp sound when they hit the ground, which seemed particularly abrupt in this silent space.
"Maybe, maybe he didn't find out anything and is just bluffing to confuse us." There was a hint of luck in her voice, but the uneasiness in her eyes was always there.
Although they could not find any clues from Du Fei, the incident of Ms. X was of great importance after all, and they could not let down their guard just because of the apparent calm.
In order to confirm their guess, Jiang Chengjun decided to take further action.
After thinking for a moment, he looked at Fang Wenwen and said, "Wenwen, go find Gu Fanxing to find out the truth."
Fang Wenwen was slightly stunned, and then she understood Jiang Chengjun's intention.
Gu Fanxing has a close relationship with Du Fei. If Du Fei makes any moves during the investigation, Gu Fanxing might know some information.
"Okay, I'll go right away." Fang Wenwen nodded in response.
Fang Wenwen came to the cafe where Gu Fanxing often hung out, preparing to have a chance encounter with her.
The coffee shop was filled with the rich aroma of coffee and soft music flowed in the air, creating a warm and cozy atmosphere. But in Fang Wenwen's eyes, all this was just the stage background for her performance.
She immediately saw Gu Fanxing sitting in the corner. The light in the corner where Gu Fanxing was was a little dim, as if it was a corner forgotten by the world, but Gu Fanxing exuded a tranquil atmosphere, which was incompatible with this hypocritical environment.
Fang Wenwen took a deep breath, adjusted her expression, and then walked over with confident steps.
"Fanxing, what a coincidence, you are drinking coffee here too?"
Fang Wenwen showed a friendly smile, which was like a mask sticking to her face. It seemed flawless, but without a trace of warmth, just like the fake flowers in this cafe.
Gu Fanxing raised his head and saw that it was Fang Wenwen. A hint of subtle surprise flashed across his eyes, but he quickly regained his composure.
"It's you, Wenwen. What a coincidence."
Gu Fanxing's voice was as flat as water. She looked at Fang Wenwen as if she was watching an actor with poor acting skills performing on stage.
She sneered in her heart, having already seen through Fang Wenwen's intentions, but she decided to play along with her to see what tricks she was up to.
Fang Wenwen sat down gently and said with a smile: "That's right, how are you doing recently?"
Her eyes seemed to be casually scanning the cafe, but in fact she was observing Gu Fanxing's expression, trying to find a breakthrough from her subtle reactions.
The two began a seemingly relaxed chat, from fashion trends to the latest entertainment news. Fang Wenwen skillfully guided the topic, trying to make Gu Fanxing let down her guard.
After chatting for a while, Fang Wenwen felt that the time was right, so she seemingly casually turned the topic to Du Fei.
"By the way, Fanxing, President Du has recently assigned a lot of projects to me to follow up on, and he's been elusive. I can't find him to sign many documents. Do you know where he is and what he's been busy with recently?"
Fang Wenwen stirred the coffee while observing Gu Fanxing's expression out of the corner of her eye.
Gu Fanxing's heart moved, and she immediately realized the purpose of Fang Wenwen's visit.
She smiled calmly and replied, "I don't ask about the company's affairs, so I'm not very clear about President Du's situation." Gu Fanxing's tone was flat and natural, as if she was talking about an insignificant matter.
A hint of disappointment flashed across Fang Wenwen's eyes, but she did not give up.
"Oh? Really? I thought you would know. Haven't you contacted him recently?"
She continued to ask, leaning forward slightly, trying to get closer to Gu Fanxing and give people the illusion of intimacy.
However, in Gu Fanxing's view, this was just a manifestation of her eagerness to obtain information.
Gu Fanxing sneered in her heart. She knew Fang Wenwen was testing her, but she would not easily reveal any information. "No, he rarely talks to me about work, so we don't contact each other very often."
Gu Fanxing's tone remained calm. She put down the coffee cup and gently ran her fingers across the rim of the cup, feeling the delicate texture, as if she was controlling the rhythm of the conversation.
Fang Wenwen was a little unwilling to give up, so she decided to try in a different way. "I heard that Mr. Du is investigating a big case, and it seems quite mysterious. Have you heard any rumors?"
Gu Fanxing frowned slightly, pretending to be confused. "Big case? He didn't tell me." Her eyes were clear and innocent, as if she really knew nothing about Du Fei's work.
The two chatted for a while. Fang Wenwen realized that she couldn't get any useful information from Gu Fanxing. Although she was a little annoyed, she still maintained a friendly atmosphere on the surface.
"Okay, it seems I was overthinking it."
The two chatted for a while, and Fang Wenwen left first, saying she was busy.
Looking at Fang Wenwen's leaving back, Gu Fanxing's eyes became profound.
She knew that Fang Wenwen's test was definitely not accidental, and Du Fei's investigation might have made them feel threatened.
Very good, as long as they have a sense of crisis, they will easily become confused. As long as they are confused, many problems can be naturally solved.
Fang Wenwen's figure gradually walked away.
The leaves outside the cafe rustled in the breeze, as if whispering about the coming storm.
At this moment, Gu Fanxing's smile slowly disappeared, and his eyes became cold and sharp.
She looked in the direction where Fang Wenwen left, with the corners of her mouth slightly raised, revealing a meaningful smile.
She knew that there must be a bigger move behind Fang Wenwen's test today.
And she also has her own plans. This invisible war is far from over.
