130: Mr. Lan's special concern
Su Yue heard Lan Zijun's voice from the phone call from Li Haoyang and was immediately surprised.
After all, ordinary company employees usually find it difficult to even see Lan Zijun.
The President's office is on the company's high floor, and for anything concerning the Market Department, files are usually first transmitted by the Secretary, Yang Qingmei.
This is also why the last time Lan Zijun investigated Yuan's identity, under the guise of discussing the company's future development, she went to various departments to interview employees, which caused a stir among them.
However, at this moment, this high-ranking female President actually personally visited the Market Department?
This matter was too strange, and happening under today's circumstances, Su Yue had to take it seriously.
After a moment's thought, Liang Yuzhu's figure appeared in Su Yue's mind.
Moreover, Lin Jia should now be with the Police Officer who concluded their work and is cooperating with the investigation at the Police Station.
It seems now that Liang Yuzhu might have learned about the existence of her roommate from Lin Jia.
With a simple investigation, her identity would not be difficult for the other party to uncover.
And once Liang Yuzhu discovers that she is Lin Jia's roommate and is also employed at Lan Zijun's company.
All of this can be connected to her, making it hard for Liang Yuzhu not to be suspicious.
As long as Liang Yuzhu focuses her attention on herself, then it's quite reasonable for Lan Zijun to appear in the Market Department.
Presumably, Liang Yuzhu informed Lan Zijun, asking her best friend to investigate her situation at the company.
Su Yue thought through the cause and effect in his heart, and his brows couldn't help but furrow slightly.
At the same time, there was still movement from Li Haoyang on the other end of the phone.
He was at the company and perhaps hadn't fully recovered from Lan Zijun's sudden visit to the Market Department.
With a sudden clatter of chairs, a scene seemed to appear before Su Yue's eyes.
...
When he saw that the person who walked into the Market Department was Lan Zijun, Li Haoyang jumped up from his chair.
He stammered, "President Lan... President Lan? Why are you here?"
Countless thoughts then flashed through Li Haoyang's mind.
Could it be that Lan Zijun had another mission to assign to him?
But before, communication with President Lan was done using Morse code on paper slips.
Meeting with the superior in such an open manner seemed to be the first time.
Li Haoyang even had some bold guesses, perhaps this mission was quite tricky.
And it was most likely very urgent, so much so that Lan Zijun didn't even bother with secret codes.
Instead, she simply came to find him in person after work.
"Hiss... Is the situation that urgent?"
"What on earth happened...?" Li Haoyang pondered wildly in his heart.
Unconsciously, a solemn expression of dedication and facing death appeared on his face.
He had the awareness of being a golden agent.
However, the reality was that Lan Zijun didn't even focus her attention on Li Haoyang.
Instead, she used the opportunity of inspecting to finally look at Su Yue's workstation.
...
Just as Su Yue thought, Lan Zijun wouldn't come to the Market Department for inspection without a reason.
She had indeed just received a call from her best friend, Liang Yuzhu.
And the news she received from the call also greatly surprised Lan Zijun.
Liang Yuzhu called her from the Police Station and didn't explain in detail everything that happened in the underground warehouse today.
She just said that she saw Yuan again, and that Yuan was injured during the process of finally arresting Wang Lin.
From Liang Yuzhu's words, Lan Zijun got a deduction from the other party.
That is, Yuan is very likely hiding in her company, and is a staff member of the Market Department!
The name Su Yue once again entered Lan Zijun's sight.
Frankly speaking, Lan Zijun was not unfamiliar with this name, and even had some impression of him.
Because when her former fiancé, Qian Boda, was bossing around the company,
Only Su Yue dared to retort him face to face without being humble or arrogant, which also left an impression on Lan Zijun.
Moreover, when she later interviewed ordinary employees one by one, Su Yue's performance was quite natural.
At least he wouldn't be as obsequious or awkward as other employees, instead giving Lan Zijun a very rare feeling during superior-subordinate conversations.
But... to say that Su Yue is Yuan?
Lan Zijun also couldn't help but feel unbelievable about this.
But since Liang Yuzhu's words were so earnest, and she uncharacteristically asked her to observe Su Yue's movements at the company.
Her strong best friend, who had always been independent, actually took the initiative to talk to her this time, which was really rare.
Furthermore, as long as she checked if Su Yue was at the company in the afternoon, she could provide some basis for Liang Yuzhu's judgment.
So Lan Zijun, with a heart full of questions, personally came to the Market Department to check.
Could he really be Yuan? Just like other employees, working in her company?
If the other party could hide so well, it would indeed be terrifying.
Thinking in her heart, Lan Zijun also looked at the nameplate on the employee's desk and slowly walked towards Su Yue's workstation.
And at this moment, Li Haoyang was standing opposite Su Yue's workstation, watching Lan Zijun approach with his own eyes.
Li Haoyang had no other thoughts in his heart.
He was already prepared for the golden agent to receive a mission from his superior face to face.
At the same time, Li Haoyang noticed Lan Zijun's hand.
As if he had thought of something, his gaze was fixed on Lan Zijun's fingers.
Li Haoyang was hoping in his heart that the tip of that hand would lightly tap on the desk.
And like a secret signal, tap out Morse code, that would definitely feel more like a secret agent.
However, after staring for a moment, the scene Li Haoyang was hoping for did not appear.
Lan Zijun just like that, walked all the way to Su Yue's workstation and stood still under Li Haoyang's gaze.
She didn't look too deliberately, but first looked around.
She saw a cup of coffee that had long since cooled on Su Yue's desk, looking like only a few sips had been taken.
A navy blue canvas bag was also placed on the seat.
It was already after work hours, his backpack was clearly still in the company, but he was nowhere to be seen.
Seeing this situation, Lan Zijun couldn't help but notice the abnormality.
Su Yue seemed to have left very suddenly, not even taking his bag with him.
Lan Zijun frowned slightly, about to continue asking Li Haoyang about the situation.
At this moment, another sound of footsteps came from outside the department.
Lan Zijun and Li Haoyang looked over following the sound, and saw that the person who came was actually the Director of the Market Department.
He was holding a bag and rummaging through it, muttering as he pushed the door open:
"Hiss, where are my car keys? I clearly put them in my bag..."
While muttering, the Director walked towards the office.
However, halfway there, the corner of his eye seemed to catch a glimpse of a figure.
At first, he didn't take it seriously, thinking it was just an employee who hadn't left.
After glancing at Lan Zijun, he continued to walk inside.
However, the next second, the Director suddenly froze in place, seeming to have realized something, his footsteps stiffening.
Immediately after, he turned his neck slightly stiffly towards Lan Zijun.
When he clearly saw Lan Zijun's ice-cold face, the Director's eyes widened instantly.
"President Lan... President Lan? Why are you..."
He muttered in disbelief, and slowly moved the bag in his hand behind him.
A smile immediately appeared on his face and he said, "Oh, I was just about to come back to work overtime."
"President Lan, do you have any instructions by coming here personally?"
Seeing this, Lan Zijun didn't say much, and directly asked him:
"Where is this employee? Did you see him today?"
The Director was stunned when he heard this question.

What's the situation? President Lan is making a rare trip to the Market Department.
She didn't ask about business or reports, but was asking about an employee's whereabouts?
Who could have such a big face that it's worth President Lan coming in person?
Isn't it likely that something is wrong...
Thinking in his heart, the Director also looked at the workstation Lan Zijun pointed to.
He found it was Su Yue's seat and recalled for a moment in his mind.
He didn't see Su Yue much today, it seemed like he wasn't around all day.
Could it be that President Lan came for this matter? Caught an employee absent without reason?
While thinking, the Director also replied truthfully:
"President Lan, this... Su Yue might have something wrong with him today, I hardly saw him all day."
"About when did he disappear?" Lan Zijun continued to ask.
"It should be... starting from this morning, he was gone."
And when the Director said this, Li Haoyang also observed Lan Zijun's reaction.
He was now as confused as the Director.
Why would Lan Zijun come to ask about Su Yue's whereabouts?
Immediately, he didn't forget to chime in: "Oh, President Lan, Su Yue is not feeling well today."
"I just called him, he's sick."
As Li Haoyang's words fell, Lan Zijun did not continue to speak.
She already knew what she wanted to know.
Just as Liang Yuzhu had anticipated, Su Yue was indeed not at the company today.
But looking at it this way, could he really be Yuan?
Lan Zijun was still a little unbelievable and also planned to inform Liang Yuzhu about these matters.
So she nodded towards the two of them and deliberately asked about some business matters of the Market Department.
"Remember to ask him to get a leave slip." After saying that, Lan Zijun prepared to leave.
But before she could turn around, Li Haoyang suddenly winked at her.
"Okay, President Lan, if you have anything, please feel free to instruct me." Li Haoyang said meaningfully.
However, his expression made Lan Zijun frown slightly.
How could she understand Li Haoyang's deeper meaning? She was even less aware of any golden agent.
At this moment, Li Haoyang didn't know that what he had done earlier was for Su Yue.
Soon, Lan Zijun left.
As the elevator ascended, the Director was still confused.
He really couldn't understand the deeper meaning of Lan Zijun's sudden visit to the Market Department.
He also didn't know why President Lan asked about Su Yue's whereabouts, and thought there was a problem with the report submitted today.
So he walked to Li Haoyang's side and asked doubtfully:
"Hey, Xiao Li, why did President Lan come to our department?"
"What did President Lan tell you before I came back?"
Li Haoyang was also puzzled, thinking that Lan Zijun would come to arrange some secret mission for him.
As a result, she just asked about the situation and then left?
"Something's not right..." Li Haoyang pondered in his heart.
Finally, he attributed the conclusion to the Director who suddenly returned.
"Could it be because the Director came back that President Lan didn't continue to arrange the mission for me in person?"
"Yes! It must be like this!"
Li Haoyang convinced himself in a very short time with his power of imagination.
Then a slight, almost imperceptible smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
At this moment, Li Haoyang looked at the Director with eyes like a brilliant student from Hogwarts looking at a Muggle.
He casually explained to him: "It's nothing, just said that our report was well done."
"And also cared about the employees..."
And when the Director heard his words, he pondered for a long time in his heart.
But he still couldn't figure out why, and could only look at Su Yue's workstation and complain:
"This Su Yue is also outrageous, he just ran off without saying a word."
"Hmph, now that President Lan has noticed, let's see what he does!"
The Director only thought that Su Yue's unauthorized absence had attracted Lan Zijun's attention.
However, he didn't know that what was on Lan Zijun's mind was the connection between Su Yue and Yuan.
So after taking the elevator back to the office, she immediately called Liang Yuzhu.
"Liang Yuzhu, I just went to see."
"How is the situation?" The question quickly came from the other end of the phone.
Apparently, Liang Yuzhu was also waiting for Lan Zijun's reply.
Lan Zijun was silent for a while, then said:
"...Just as you thought, Su Yue was indeed not at the company today."
"And he left suddenly in the morning."
After receiving this response, Liang Yuzhu was obviously a little excited.
However, it seemed inconvenient for her on the other end of the phone.
She deliberately suppressed her emotions and lowered her voice:
"It seems I guessed correctly, Su Yue's roommate had an accident today and was rescued by Yuan."
"And he happens to be at your company, these coincidences are too many..."
Speaking of this, Liang Yuzhu paused, then continued:
"But we can't make a conclusion yet, it might be a coincidence, the most indicative of his identity now is Yuan's injury."
"I've asked that roommate to pay attention after she goes back, but I don't think it's reliable, after all, they've been roommates for a while, there must be feelings."
"Even if she really finds something after going back, she probably won't tell me..."
Liang Yuzhu's words were not finished, Lan Zijun had already sensed something, so she said:
"Do you mean... you want me to send someone to visit again in the company's name?"
"Then why don't I go myself?"
...
On the phone, Lan Zijun's tone couldn't reveal her emotions.
But as best friends for many years, Liang Yuzhu knew her very well.
The other party was clearly half-joking.
After all, she liked to let loose at home alone, and Lan Zijun wasn't ice-cold to everyone.
After exchanging a few jokes, a shout came from behind her.
Liang Yuzhu then hung up the phone and saw that Lin Jia was being escorted out by a Police Officer.
"Liang Team, the statement is basically done, should we send someone to take her back?"
As the Police Officer asked, Liang Yuzhu glanced at Lin Jia.
She was considering whether she should just take Lin Jia back herself and see this Su Yue in person.
However, before Liang Yuzhu could speak, Director Zhang passed by from the corridor with his people.
He was rushing towards the meeting room, looking dusty, and stopped Liang Yuzhu, saying:
"Hey, Xiao Liang, you're here, hurry up and come to the meeting."
Seeing this, Liang Yuzhu sighed helplessly.
She could only instruct Lin Jia: "Remember what I told you before."
"If there's anything, contact me anytime."
Lin Jia's eyes were slightly red, after all, she had just been kidnapped, and her emotions needed to stabilize.
She nodded somewhat distractedly, and then got into the car with the Police Officer, heading towards the City Village.
