Chapter 9: Sponsor

Guan Zheng is dead.

The first person to find him was Uncle Chai from the helping office. He arrived at the office that morning. The doors and windows of the office were locked. When Uncle Chai opened the door with his own key, he found that the lights in the room were on. When he went in, he was scared that the old man almost had a heart attack on the spot.

Guan Zheng sat at the desk. He had been dead for a long time. His face was gray and covered with bloodstains scratched by himself. One of his eyes fell off and fell on the desk. He looked straight at the person entering the door. The computer was completely destroyed and no data could be restored. Moreover, he died of overdose of drugs.

The most surprising thing is: a cat that was abused and killed was found in his office!

Xiao Xia was so angry that a person who kept upholding social justice and legal dignity all day long died of drugs and abused animals before his death. This really made those who were usually offended by the dead laugh at him behind his back.

Regardless of whether he is extreme or not, his original intention is good, he just wants to help others!

Shortly after Guan Zheng's death, several founders of the aid agency decided to send another person to replace Guan Zheng. But before that person came, Xiao Xia, as a middle-aged force in the firm, had to organize relevant information, and the case must continue to be handled, and Guan Zheng's memorial service must be arranged, and he was busy all over the place. Moreover, because the deaths were so similar, it aroused the police's suspicion, and Xiao Xia also actively assisted the police in the investigation.

The police's intervention solved Xiao Xia's problem.

Because Guan Zheng wanted her to avenge him, but she knew that she could not act without permission. Even if she followed his last wish and secretly investigated, Ruan Zhan and Wanli would not let her ignore it. In fact, she would still implicate them. In the final analysis, this is not her own business.

So even though Guan Zheng did not let her tell others about the suspicion, she reported the clues she knew and the content of the email. Of course, it did not include the black cat and the moving poppy, which would not add more clues, but instead reduce the credibility of the information she provided.

Let someone with the ability investigate this matter! Although she was a little sorry for Guan Zheng’s instructions, she had to do that.

Of course, she took the opportunity to live there, but she failed to implement her dream of "surrounding the city in the countryside" and didn't even have a chance to catch a handsome guy. She was too busy for a while and he went to bed when she went out early in the morning. When she came back tired from outside, he was busy; when she fell asleep, he was still greeting guests.

They were like night and day, without time to merge, but although they only had a few seconds of looking at each other and smiling, Xiaoxia felt very happy! Moreover, she finally had time to finish her work.

"Tomorrow is Guan Zheng's memorial service." Xiao Xia has been idle since the morning, so she has been around Ruan Zhan. Now she is lying on the bar and watching Ruan Zhan wiping cups at the bar.

"You can finally take a break?" Ruan Zhan asked with a smile.

Xiao Xia nodded. When he first found Ruan Zhan smiling, his eyes were focused and his expression was gentle.

"Will Wanli accompany you?"

"Yes, he said he was appearing as my boyfriend, so that I would not be like Guan Zheng's vain!"

"He just likes to study specific people on specific occasions!" Ruan Zhan stopped his work, "When we were young, there were any movements in the town, such as weddings, funerals, having children, or meetings, he would force me to go and see them. I don't like crowded places, but he likes them, and when he comes back, he tells me about everyone's reaction to everything, which is so annoying that I want to kill him. But I think this is the main reason why he chose to be a psychologist in the end. He likes to dissect people's thoughts. But my father said that he is so curious that he has to check everything, sooner or later-"

Ruan Zhan suddenly stopped talking because he discovered that his usual vigilance against people disappeared completely when he arrived at Xiaoxia, and even told these childhood stories unconsciously. He never wanted to mention the past events, and even when Wanli recalled them sometimes, he would not speak up.

Xiao Xia knew that Ruan Zhan was not used to showing his heart, so she kept silent wisely and did not ask questions, but instead changed the topic.

"Who do you have any opinions on this matter?"

"In this matter, that cat is the key, of course the same is true for the plants that can wriggle. Unfortunately, we know too little to make a conclusion. But as far as I know, some ethnic minorities worship and sacrifice to all kinds of creatures, and some even use this as a totem. Combined with the place written on the computer when Guan Zheng was dying, I think everything here should be closely related to it."

"Do you want to go and see the cemeteries of the dead in other places and confirm it?"

"No need. Although the seeds of this poppy must have been preserved through some magical magic, which cannot be burned to death and cement cannot be sealed, you said that they withered as soon as they leave the soil. I think this should be the final growth, and both demonic and plant nature disappear in the moment they leave the soil. I have read your information. Those people have died for a long time, and they were buried in the cemetery after cremation or placed in a specific place for storage of ashes. These places may be cleaned up, or managed by a dedicated person, and will be removed as soon as you see a foreign object. You will not find any evidence when you go now."

"Yes, this matter has been left to the police, it's nothing to do with me!" Xiao Xia forced a wave of the haze in her heart and shrugged easily.

Ruan Zhan wanted to speak, but the door of the bar opened and the first guest tonight came.

"Azhan, get me some drinks, I'm so thirsty!" The visitor called out sweetly and gentlely, his tone was very close, as if he was with his relatives or - lovers?!

Xiaoxia rolled her eyes and got up without looking back.

This woman is named Bai Jingjing, and she is the same as the fairy in the Journey to the West. She is also charming. Recently, she has been entangled with Ruan Zhan tightly, and Ruan Zhan seems to be a little different to others, so Xiao Xia hates her because of this.

But it was not the woman who made her get up and leave. She still had this resistance. She just couldn't stand Ruan Zhan's smile at Bai Jingjing, which made her feel that she was no longer special, so she simply lost sight of her.

This little jealousy did not allow her to see. Although Ruan Zhan showed his signature beautiful smile to Bai Jingjing, and seemed to like this woman three points, the deeper his eyes did not face the warmth that Xiao Xia Shi would have.

The memorial service was simple and grand, and the procedures were carried out according to the rules. However, not many people came. Except for friends, classmates, colleagues, representatives of local aid agencies, and a major sponsor of the sponsor group, there was no one who had been rescued by him.

Xiao Xia was sad and angry.

What’s sad is that although she has no special feelings for Guan Zheng, Guan Zheng is very good to her while being serious. It is impossible for her colleagues to have no feelings for her. What’s angry is why fewer and fewer people in this world have been conscientious? He helped so many people during his lifetime, but no one will remember him!

"Death is just the beginning. The unsung hero will definitely get good treatment there. Don't be unwilling to give up." Wanli knew why Xiao Xia's wet eyes were for, and hugged her shoulders and whispered to comfort her, "People are doing it, God is watching!"

"You are completely idealism." Xiao Xia relaxed for a moment. She was nervous throughout the memorial service, and always felt that Guan Zheng's portrait was condemning her. Now it was finally over, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

"My faith is my personal experience." Wanli's hand did not leave her shoulder, "Have you asked for leave? Didn't you want to take a few days off?"

"I was not approved. I was asked to rest after finishing some things from the foundation. I will go to Boheng Company to do things tomorrow." Xiao Xia glanced at the new boss.

The new boss and the same surname as the eldest son of the Changkong Firm, the big name is "Shan". He is about the same age as Guan Zheng, but he looks much older. He looks serious and rigid, and it looks difficult to get along with.

When she looked at Pan Shan, she accidentally met the patron who came to attend the memorial service. She quickly smiled politely and nodded. Unexpectedly, the man seemed to have permission to come to her.

She subconsciously approached Wanli a little, a little unnatural, and she has always been unfamiliar with dealing with rich people.

Wanli felt her body language for help, and gave up Director Pan's idea of ​​greetings and stayed beside Xiao Xia.

"Hello, I am Huang Boheng of Boheng Group." He handed Xiao Xia a business card gracefully, and Xiao Xia hurriedly took it with both hands.

It turns out that he is the boss of Boheng Group!

While introducing himself, Xiao Xia thought, she didn't expect that the boss of such a large consortium was actually a person about the same age as Guan Zheng. She was young, gentle, not as vulgar as a nouveau riche, and had a bit of a knowledgeable literati. But Xiao Xia had worked for him and knew from the employees that his success was quite legendary and should be the type of wealth overnight.

"My name is Wanli, she is her boyfriend." Wanli's self-introduction sounded in her ears. Then she felt her waist tightening and her body was pulled into his arms by Wanli, which made her have to cooperate and smile foolishly.

"Miss Yue--" Huang Boheng smiled gracefully, "I heard from Director Pan that some of our company's legal business in City A a few days ago was handled by Ms. Yue. I don't have the chance to thank you yet."

"Where, I'm paying for it, you're giving it a chance."

"But this memorial service was held very generously and appropriately. Obviously, Miss Yue is a very capable and outstanding talent. No need to be modest. I will come to poach one day and go to my place." Huang Boheng said as he looked at Xiaoxia, which made her feel a little uncomfortable.

She stammered for a few words, but fortunately Wanli took over the conversation and continued to be polite with Huang Boheng, but his arms always declared sovereignty to hold Xiaoxia's waist.

"Miss Yue's face was not good." After a few words, Huang Boheng brought the topic to Xiao Xia again.

"She is tired, she will be fine when she goes home early and has some rest."

"Miss Yue is so lucky, her boyfriend is so considerate." Huang Boheng still smiled, but Xiao Xia felt his eyes keenly unhappy. "I originally wanted to talk to you about the issue of fund transfer. Since that's the case, then you can just look for me tomorrow, and I won't say much today."

"Then Mr. Huang is goodbye." Wanli answered first again, then said goodbye to the person who had not left the scene, and hugged Xiaoxia out.

"You make me feel like a spoiled bag like this!" Xiao Xia slapped the hand that was still on his waist.

"I'm telling the man whose surname is Huang, your name is Hua and has a master." Wanli looked back, "Sometimes body language is more convincing."

"You're talking nonsense again!"

"You are really insensitive to men!" said Wan Li, "Didn't you see that? He is interested in you. It's really a bad conscience for Prince Prince, who actually picked up girls at the funeral."

"It's a memorial service."

"It's not the same. What are you doing when you pursue these details? Are you going to his company tomorrow?" After receiving Xiaoxia's affirmative reply, Wanli said, "I'll accompany you tomorrow - no, I have classes tomorrow, otherwise I'll ask Azhan to accompany you."

"Is it necessary?" Xiao Xia smiled and fussed, "If he harassed me, I will sue him! Don't worry, I am so adult, and I will still have the situation. At most, I won't drink any drinks he gave me, and always keep a distance from him, be cautious enough, right? Besides, he will talk nonsense when he sees a woman. Maybe it's just a habit, not because he likes me, but because you are nervous. Although he seems uncomfortable, he doesn't look like a vicious person, and there won't be any trouble!"

"Let's ask Azhan. If it really doesn't work, you can go by yourself." Somehow, Wanli, relying on the instinct of a man, found that Huang Boheng had a deep interest in Xiao Xia, which made him a little uneasy.

Xiao Xia looks very strong, sometimes even with her teeth and claws, but she is actually a little white rabbit, which is easily taken away by unknown creatures. Although this personality is more conceited, it is not as safe as a woman who pretends to be a little white rabbit on the surface and is actually a big bad wolf.

"You're over-never."

"If I care, it will be messy." Wan Li grabbed Xiao Xia and looked up and down, "I really don't know what's good about you, a girl, and you will snatch me!"

The two of them were fighting all the way, which made Xiaoxia temporarily forget the psychological pressure caused by Guan Zheng's death. But when he got home and asked, Ruan Zhan said that he had no time the next day, so Xiaoxia had to decide to go by himself.

Xiaoxia didn't think she would be fine, but Ruan Zhan couldn't accompany her, which still disappointed her.

"How is it?" Huang Boheng sat in the study of his luxurious villa and gave orders to a man in front of him.

"She lives on the second floor of a bar called "Ye Gu Ren."

"Live with a man?"

"The owner of the bar is a man, and she lives with him."

"Which one of the bar owners or the ones surnamed Wan is her lover?"

"This--only one night, I--"

"Go and check again!" Huang Boheng rebuked.

The man quickly stepped back.

Huang Boheng snorted coldly, fell deeper into the sofa, and remembered Xiao Xia's appearance again.

"The woman I like will definitely get it, and everyone who is in trouble will die!" He was determined to speak to himself, but at the same time he was a little confused.
