I was just about to pick up my phone and watch a tutorial video on how to revise a project proposal.

Suddenly, Luo Yusheng remembered a pair of headphones she had left on her desk.

Since we're all in the same office building, it's just a matter of taking an elevator.

As soon as the elevator doors opened, she heard two people arguing loudly.

"You are not allowed to go near Luo Yusheng from now on!"

"Can you please stop being so naive and treating Luo Yusheng like your own possession?"

Just by listening to their voices, Luo Yusheng already knew who the two people arguing were.

She never expected that the reason for the argument would be herself.

"If you continue like this, I'll have no choice but to tell the boss everything."

Zhou Ze was mature and composed, staring straight ahead at the man in front of him.

"All you do is threaten people with this all day long. Do you think I'm easily scared?"

Ji Tingxiao smiled dismissively.

"You'll find out when the boss arrives."

"That's enough! I just don't want you to have any contact with Luo Yusheng."

"Why? Just because you're afraid I'll steal your chance to marry into a wealthy family?"

Zhou Zhe mercilessly exposed Ji Tingxiao's true intentions, which enraged him.

"The boss instructed us that if we wanted to get money, we shouldn't have so many bad ideas."

Their group was after money from the very beginning, and they shouldn't forget their original purpose because of personal feelings.

"No need for you to remind me!"

Ji Tingxiao glared fiercely at Zhou Ze.

He has now fallen into a state of obsession.

Luo Yusheng is beautiful, capable, and comes from a wealthy family. Marrying her would be a great honor.

"Also, Luo Yusheng already suspects you, and you still don't know how to be careful."

Ji Tingxiao said irritably.

Zhou Ze's expression changed.

He knew about this as well.

Because Luo Yusheng had been intentionally or unintentionally observing him these past few days, paying attention to what he was doing.

Meanwhile, Luo Yusheng, who was standing in the corner, had overheard the entire conversation between the two.

Her suspicions were indeed correct.

From the very beginning, Ji Tingxiao and Zhou Ze were in cahoots.

But even now, she still has no way of knowing who the "boss" the two of them are talking about is.

This caused Luo Yusheng great distress.

But we can't let them off so easily.

She decided to stop hiding and went straight out.

Upon seeing him, Ji Tingxiao and Zhou Ze were both stunned.

"Sheng Sheng, didn't you go home?"

Recalling what he had just said, Ji Tingxiao stammered a little.

"I remembered I forgot my headphones, so I came back."

Luo Yusheng smiled, her expression completely natural.

"What did you just hear?"

Ji Tingxiao was still worried and asked again.

The next second, Luo Yusheng looked at him suspiciously: "What did you hear? I just arrived."

Judging from her expression, she probably didn't hear the conversation just now.

Ji Tingxiao and Zhou Ze both breathed a sigh of relief.

"What are you two doing sneaking around here?"

Luo Yusheng suddenly asked.

Zhou Ze finally realized what was happening and came up with an excuse.

"Tingxiao came to me to discuss whether or not we should go play basketball this weekend."

His explanation is valid, after all, the two met on the basketball court.

Luo Yusheng nodded, her eyes full of affirmation.

"I didn't expect you two to be so close."

"Then I'll leave you two alone. I'll be going now."

After saying that, she turned around and left.

"Luckily he didn't hear it, or we would have been finished."

Ji Tingxiao subconsciously blamed Zhou Ze.

"It's all because you insisted on coming up here; otherwise, you wouldn't be so worried."

The two blamed each other.

……

The secretary investigated for several days before uncovering some crucial clues.

"Miss, someone saw Zhou Ze and people from Ruyan Group appear together at the coffee shop."

"These are photos taken without my knowledge. Please take a look."

Luo Yusheng took the phone. Although the photo on the screen was blurry, she could still make out who the person in it was.

Zhou Ze was sitting facing a woman, with paper documents on the table.

"Are you sure it's from Ruyan Group?"

"That's right, this time it's their group that's been going against us all along."

The two companies had their eyes on the same piece of land at an auction a while ago.

However, because the Luo family was so generous, they did not obtain the land and harbored resentment ever since.

"okay, I get it."

Luo Yusheng asked her secretary to send her a copy of the photo.

She found an opportunity and deliberately opened the photo when Zhou Ze passed by.

Sure enough, Zhou Ze looked over.

Upon seeing the full picture of the photo, he suddenly paused, a look of panic crossing his face.

"Where did you get this photo?!"

He tried to snatch the phone without Luo Yusheng's consent.

This was the first time Luo Yusheng had ever seen such an expression on his face.

"Someone just sent me this photo anonymously."

She said that on purpose to make Zhou Ze panic.

"Sheng Sheng, let me explain, this photo is not real at all."

His words were tinged with pleading, and his innocent eyes were fixed on her.

Luo Yusheng calmly turned off her phone: "What's the rush?"

"After spending so many days together, you are a very reliable person, and I believe you would never do such a thing."

Upon hearing Luo Yusheng's words, Zhou Ze was almost moved to tears.

"Thank you for believing in me so unconditionally."

"Why don't you give me this contact number? I'll investigate and find out who photoshopped this picture."

Zhou Ze was more flustered than anyone else, and tentatively asked.

"Forget it, the fact that he's so audacious as to send it to me means his technique is very advanced. With your abilities, you won't be able to find out in a short time."

Since Luo Yusheng had said so, Zhou Ze had no choice but to give up the idea.

The next day, as soon as Luo Yusheng arrived at the company, she learned that Zhou Ze had taken sick leave.

How could such a coincidence happen in the world?

She was perfectly fine yesterday, but she got sick today.

Her eyes darkened, and then she lowered her head to send a message to Zhou Ze.

"I heard you were sick, are you alright?"

It took a long time for the person on the other end to reply to the message.

"I'm fine, I just caught a chill last night and have a bit of a cough. I don't want to infect my colleagues."

These words seemed normal, but only Luo Yusheng knew that Zhou Ze was definitely faking it.

"I happen to have some free time today, so I'll bring some things to your house later and visit you."

I received a rejection message from Zhou Ze as soon as I sent it out.

"There's no need for you to make the trip, and my home is so far away."

"You must be tired after a long day at work, go home and rest early."

The implication was clear: they didn't want Luo Yusheng to go.

Luo Yusheng wasn't about to let him have his way. After get off work, she stepped on the gas and drove straight to the urban village.

At the familiar intersection, she parked her car on the side of the road and called Zhou Ze.
