136: Is Brother Yue receiving special care?

Lan Zijun came to Su Yue's home to visit, wanting to figure out the connection between Su Yue and Yuan.

However, after observing for a long time, she did not find any signs of injury on Su Yue's left arm.

She only learned from the conversation that Su Yue had a fever.

The reason given was that he got caught in the rain yesterday.

Lin Jia also helped explain with certainty from the side, even looking strangely embarrassed.

For a moment, Lan Zijun couldn't help but feel confused.

Could it be that she and Liang Yuzhu guessed wrong? Is Su Yue really not Yuan?

And given Lan Zijun's status, it was inconvenient for her to directly ask to check Su Yue's left arm.

Doing so would appear too deliberate, so she had to think of other methods.

Just then, Lan Zijun's phone rang.

She answered the call and found it was Yang Qingmei.

And she learned from the other party that someone had come to the company looking for her, saying they absolutely must discuss cooperation in person.

Lan Zijun simply used this reason to get up and prepare to leave.

"Su Yue, I still have things to do at the company, so I'll leave first."

"Make sure you get plenty of rest, don't worry about anything else for now."

Lan Zijun showed a caring attitude towards her subordinate, casually giving Su Yue a couple of instructions.

She then walked out of the room and left, leaving only Su Yue and Lin Jia inside.

Looking at Lan Zijun's retreating figure, Lin Jia said playfully:

"Who would have thought, your company's President Lan is actually so considerate of her subordinates."

"She even came all the way to visit a sick person at home..."

Hearing this, Su Yue somehow detected a hint of jealousy in her words.

"Hmm... I didn't expect it either."

"Maybe she really just came by?"

While responding to Lin Jia verbally, Su Yue also recalled the situation just now.

Lan Zijun hid her gaze well, but Su Yue could still sense that she was secretly observing his left arm.

However, judging from his performance just now, nothing seemed to be revealed.

So, hearing Lan Zijun get into the car outside, Su Yue slowly exhaled.

Another wave of dizziness hit his head, and his body began to feel cold.

"Phew, I can't hold on, I'll go back inside first..."

Su Yue held his forehead and walked back into the room under Lin Jia's concerned gaze.

...

In a black sedan that had just driven out of the City Village.

Lan Zijun recalled everything that just happened and finally called Liang Yuzhu.

The call was quickly connected, and the other party seemed to have been waiting.

She asked somewhat urgently, "How is it? Did you find anything."

"Could you see if his left arm was injured?"

Hearing Liang Yuzhu's question, Lan Zijun was silent for a moment.

Recalling the scene of Su Yue pouring water in her mind, she then opened her mouth to answer the other party's question:

"I couldn't tell, he didn't show any abnormalities today."

"And he could use his left hand normally, as if he wasn't injured."

As Lan Zijun's words fell, Liang Yuzhu on the other end of the phone was clearly stunned.

"How could that be... Yuan's left arm was clearly shot."

"And all the recent clues seem to point to Su Yue..."

"If he really is Yuan, it's impossible for him to have no issues at all."

Listening to Liang Yuzhu's words, Lan Zijun mused and said:

"However, one thing is indeed quite strange... Su Yue suddenly developed a fever today."

"A fever?!" Liang Yuzhu repeated on the other end of the phone.

The other party seemed to have noticed something, while Lan Zijun continued to speak.

"Hmm... the reason he gave was that he got caught in the rain yesterday."

"And I went to the department he works in yesterday to investigate, and his colleagues said he was fine in the morning, but then disappeared for the entire day."

Hearing Lan Zijun's words, Liang Yuzhu began to analyze again.

Now the timeline also matched up; when she and Yuan were operating in the underground aquatic product warehouse, Su Yue was indeed not at the company.

"Yuan suffered a gunshot wound yesterday, and a possible complication from a gunshot wound is fever."

"Furthermore, with such heavy rain yesterday... Yuan likely left Police cordon in the rain."

"This time the clues all match up again, but the strange thing is, even you couldn't see any injury on his left arm..."

Liang Yuzhu didn't doubt Lan Zijun's observation at all, she just couldn't help but exclaim:

"He can actually disguise himself to this extent? Even with an injury, he can act as if nothing is wrong?"

At this point, Lan Zijun also suggested: "We can check the surveillance footage to see his movements in the afternoon."

"However, I only have the company's surveillance here, and I don't know where he went after leaving the company. Why don't you start with road surveillance?"

Liang Yuzhu on the other end of the phone shook her head: "No, Yuan is not a criminal suspect."

"Without proper procedures, it's not easy for us to arbitrarily access road surveillance."

"Besides, as you know... checking surveillance might not be useful."

Liang Yuzhu recalled the situation in the underground warehouse and spoke slowly:

"I haven't told you the details of yesterday's situation yet. Yuan's ability to disguise, infiltrate, and evade detection is extremely strong."

"He can even use surveillance blind spots and his disguise ability to single-handedly deal with over a dozen armed thugs in the underground warehouse."

"Moreover, someone as meticulous as him would not overlook surveillance; he must have hidden himself well from the start."

Hearing Liang Yuzhu describe the situation yesterday, Lan Zijun couldn't help but feel a little surprised.

So the situation they faced before was so severe, it's no wonder even Yuan got injured.

"Hmm... actually, there's another way that won't arouse suspicion."

Lan Zijun thought of an idea and continued:

"I can arrange for company employees to go to the hospital for annual physical examinations, department by department."

"When they draw blood, we can see if there's a wound on his left arm."

"This matter is relatively simple to arrange. I've given Su Yue a few days of sick leave. Once he recovers and returns to the company, I can arrange for his department to have their physical."

As Lan Zijun's words fell, Liang Yuzhu immediately gave a positive response.

"Hmm... Lanlan, you're right."

"We just want to use this opportunity to clarify Yuan's identity as much as possible, in case of any future issues."

"There's no need to push too hard, lest Yuan does something unexpected."

Lan Zijun decided to take the employees to the hospital for physicals, using this opportunity to observe if Su Yue's arm had a wound.

Before long, the car finally drove back to the company.

...

"President Lan, you're back." As soon as Lan Zijun stepped into the company, the receptionist reported:

"Earlier, a gentleman came looking for you. Secretary Yang said you agreed to meet him, and he is now waiting outside your office."

"Okay, I understand." Lan Zijun casually replied and did not head straight for her office.

Instead, after entering the elevator, she pressed the floor where the Market Department was located.

Ding, accompanied by the elevator door slowly opening.

The employees of the Market Department were busy.

They were conducting market research while preparing reports.

The sound of keyboards typing was rapid in the office area.

Employees were also passing documents back and forth from time to time, extremely busy.

So much so that when Lan Zijun stepped out of the elevator and stood in front of the office area, no one immediately noticed her.

After standing for a few seconds, an employee finally looked up and saw her.

"General... President Lan?! Why are you here?"

With this employee's exclamation, all the employees in the office area were stunned for a moment.

Their gazes all turned towards Lan Zijun.

And last night, Lan Zijun only arrived at the Market Department after the company closed, when most of the employees had already left.

Many of the employees in the office area at this moment were seeing Lan Zijun this closely for the first time since the last individual meetings.

When Li Haoyang saw Lan Zijun's figure appear in the Market Department, a look of surprise flashed across his face.

But soon, his gaze shifted to Su Yue's empty workstation.

He looked back at Lan Zijun again, and as his head turned,

a subtle smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"President Lan? Where are you..." The door to the Market Department Director's office was pushed open.

The Director was seen rushing out from inside in a hurry.

And he spotted Lan Zijun standing in place at a glance, and couldn't help but mutter to himself.

"Damn, it really is President Lan."

"What's going on lately? President Lan is actually coming to inspect the Market Department for two consecutive days?"

"Since when did the Market Department become the favorite?"

Thinking this, the Director also walked forward with a fawning smile:

"President Lan, you're so busy, how do you have time to come over?"

"Our new round of reports is already sorted out, and we were just about to send them to you."

Hearing the Market Department Director's words, Lan Zijun didn't show any expression on her face.

She just nodded and spoke to the employees in a concerned tone:

"I believe everyone must have heard some rumors; the company's business will be quite heavy during this period."

"It's inevitable that everyone will feel tired, and the work of the Market Department also requires meticulous attention."

"But please rest assured, not a single cent of the overtime pay you deserve will be missing."

As Lan Zijun's words fell,

this speech was like giving the employees a boost, and a round of applause immediately erupted in the office area.

And the Market Department Director also said cheerfully:

"Yes, yes, with your words, President Lan, we are even more motivated to work."

"Please also rest assured, President Lan, our Market Department employees are all very hardworking~ hehe."

Lan Zijun didn't seriously listen to the Director's pleasantries, her gaze unconsciously drifted towards Su Yue's workstation.

She was still pondering Su Yue's identity in her heart.

If he really was Yuan, then he helped her deal with Qian Boda before.

And silently took away forty million in cash from the heavily guarded President's office...

Were all these things done by him? It was simply unbelievable.

While Lan Zijun was thinking, the Market Department Director also followed her gaze.

When he noticed that Lan Zijun was looking at Su Yue's empty workstation.

The smile on the Director's face immediately froze, and he scratched his head awkwardly.

Seeing this, the surrounding employees also stopped cheering one after another.

Following Lan Zijun's gaze, they whispered: "Hiss... Yue Ge hasn't come yet."

"Oh no, wasn't he caught by President Lan?"

"And I heard that Su Yue didn't even ask the Director for leave; he also left suddenly yesterday without saying goodbye to the Director."

"Huh? So Yue Ge didn't even ask for leave? That's too bold."

"No wonder our Director's face changed instantly; he probably doesn't even know how to explain it to President Lan, right?"

And as the employees whispered, the Market Department Director was indeed as they said.

For a moment, he didn't know how to explain to Lan Zijun, coupled with Su Yue being out of contact.

He simply didn't bother to defend or conceal for Su Yue, but spoke truthfully:

"Ahem, President Lan, this Su Yue is really too outrageous."

"He dares not to come without a word, and you know the situation yesterday too."

"Please rest assured, I will handle this seriously!"

The Director said resolutely, with an expression as if he was going to clean up the company for Lan Zijun.

Watching his appearance, Li Haoyang, however, was secretly observing from the side.

He learned from Yang Qingmei that Lan Zijun was not at the company during this noon period, most likely she went to visit Su Yue.

And at a time when the company was so busy, President Lan would actually go to visit because Su Yue was sick.

The relationship between them didn't need to be explicitly stated at all.

So, listening to the Director say he would handle Su Yue seriously in front of Lan Zijun.

Li Haoyang was even a little worried for the Director.

If this made President Lan unhappy, it might not be clear who would be dealt with!

Sure enough, just as Li Haoyang was thinking.

The next second, Lan Zijun also spoke, but what she said shocked all the employees in the Market Department.

"Oh, no need to deal with it. I just went to see him, he has a fever."

Under the gaze of all the employees, Lan Zijun looked at Su Yue's workstation and instructed the Department Director:

"Just approve a leave slip for him. The specific duration is unlimited; it's until he recovers and returns."

As Lan Zijun's words fell, the employees looked at each other in an instant.

The Market Department Director first nodded indignantly, indicating that he would definitely handle it seriously according to President Lan's instructions.

However, when he came back to his senses, he was startled to realize that Lan Zijun's words had a completely different meaning!

His eyes instantly widened, as if he couldn't believe his ears.

"General... President Lan, what did you just say?"

"No need to deal with it? I still have to give him a leave slip... unlimited duration?"

Lan Zijun neither confirmed nor denied, and said lightly: "Do you need me to repeat it?"

After saying that, she no longer paid attention to the stunned Director and left the Market Department.

And as Lan Zijun's figure disappeared at the doorway.

The entire Market Department suddenly became lively, and the employees looked at Su Yue's workstation in surprise.

One by one, they began to whisper to each other: "Damn! Something's going on!"

"If I didn't hear wrong, President Lan meant to let Yue Ge take paid leave?"

"Oh my god, this is too good!"

"Speaking of which, since when has President Lan been so concerned about Yue Ge?!"

At this moment, the Market Department Director also had a look of astonishment.

His brows couldn't help but furrow, and his mouth remained open for a long time.

Recalling that Lan Zijun also visited the Market Department last night, he only now thought of the connection.

"Could it be... President Lan also came looking for Su Yue last night??"

"Oh my goodness..."

The Director swallowed, and his anger about Su Yue's unexcused absence instantly vanished.

His gaze also followed towards Su Yue's workstation, and he happened to see Li Haoyang sitting across from Su Yue.

At this moment, Li Haoyang had a meaningful expression on his face.

He glanced at the Director, and his look seemed to say:

"See? What did I tell you? Yue Ge is a big shot now!"

...

After Lan Zijun arranged Su Yue's matters, she set off for her office, preparing to deal with the accumulated work.

However, just as she returned to the office doorway, she saw a man in a suit standing in the hallway.

"You must be President Lan. I've finally been waiting for you," the man said quite courteously.

...
