Chapter 693 Results of the Private Detective Investigation

Liu Lan would be happy when these words were said before, but it was different now. Liu Lan would only feel very disgusted, but still had to cooperate with the acting: "Director Li, then I will go back first."

Director Li did not delve too deeply into Liu Lan's behavior. In his mind, Liu Lan was always a smart and clever person. He believed that Liu Lan knew very well which side to choose in the current complex situation and who to help in order to gain the greatest benefit. Therefore, Director Li felt that Liu Lan's actions might have their own deep meaning, but the time was not right.

Liu Lan returned to the kitchen with a heavy heart. As soon as she entered the room, her eyes unconsciously swept in the direction of Zhong Yi. In fact, she wanted to tell Zhong Yi about her contact with Director Li, but when the words came to her lips, she swallowed them back. After thinking about it, she felt that it was better to remain silent at this time. After all, the situation was unclear, and the slightest carelessness could lead to unpredictable consequences.

Just as Liu Lan was hesitating, Ma Hua came over quietly like a kitten. He approached Liu Lan and asked in a low voice, "Sister Liu, what kind of work did Director Li assign to you? Why do you seem to be quiet recently?"

Liu Lan turned her head and looked at Ma Hua's curious face. For a moment, she didn't know how to start. She sighed slightly, shook her head and said, "I'm not sure. Maybe the time is not right yet. If the time is right, Director Li will definitely arrange a job for you. Don't be too anxious." After that, Liu Lan turned around and went back to her work, leaving Ma Hua standing there alone, with a puzzled look on his face. Ma Hua really couldn't figure out what Liu Lan meant by this. Liu Lan was always very positive about such things before, but why did she suddenly become so calm now, as if she was not anxious at all.

After Liu Lan left, Gu Nan stood there alone, lost in thought. He wondered what was going on. Was it a conspiracy between Liu Lan and Director Li? Or was there something else going on? After all, Liu Lan's previous behavior was really unpredictable, so he couldn't completely trust Liu Lan until the truth came out. He had to talk to Zhong Yi about this matter, and they could discuss it together, so that they could figure out what kind of person Liu Lan was and what she was up to.

In this way, a day passed quietly in busyness and thinking. In the evening, Gu Nan went out to pick up Ran Qiuye after get off work. As soon as he walked to the factory gate, he saw Director Li. Gu Nan wanted to pretend that he didn't see him and walked over directly, but Director Li had sharp eyes and saw him at a glance, and then walked over quickly.

Director Li put on a seemingly friendly smile and said, "Director Gu, what do you think of what I told you before?"

Gu Nan knew that Director Li was talking about coveting his position as the canteen director. He also smiled and said slowly, "This matter was arranged by Director Yang, but it is not up to me to decide. If you really want to fight for this position, then go find Director Yang. As long as the director nods his head and agrees, then there will be no problem. What do you think?"

Director Li didn't expect Gu Nan to be so disrespectful to him, and his face instantly turned ugly. He stared at Gu Nan, his eyes revealing a hint of threat, and said: "Director Gu, you'd better understand one thing. Although you are an engineer and have a certain status in the factory, don't think that I can't do anything to you. If I really want to fire you, it's not impossible. Think carefully before you speak."

Gu Nan met Director Li's gaze without fear and said frankly, "Whatever you want to do, do you really think I'm afraid of you? Come on, stop beating around the bush here, just say what you want to say. I'm in a hurry to pick up my wife from get off work, so I don't have that much time to waste with you."

Seeing Gu Nan's firm attitude, Director Li no longer tried to hide it and said directly: "Then I'll tell you straight out. I just want to know where you buy the vegetables in your cafeteria. As long as you tell me, we can go our separate ways from now on. How about that?"

Gu Nan looked at Director Li and asked with a hint of doubt: "Oh, is it that simple?"

When Director Li heard this, he was secretly delighted and thought that his job was about to be done. He nodded quickly and said, "It's that simple. You just need to tell me where to buy vegetables, and everything else will be easy."

But who would have thought that Gu Nan suddenly sneered and said, "Director Li, are you dreaming? Why should I tell you such important information? Are you mentally ill?" After that, Gu Nan left without looking back, and ignored Director Li. In Gu Nan's mind, talking to such a person is simply a waste of time. He knows too well what kind of person Director Li is. He is selfish and will do anything to achieve his goals. It is not worth dealing with him at all.

Gu Nan continued to walk towards Ran Qiuye's workplace, and soon he picked up Ran Qiuye. The two walked home together, and when they passed an intersection, Gu Nan saw the private detective he hired. He was delighted and said to Ran Qiuye with a smile: "Qiuye, I saw a friend and I have something to tell him. You ride your bike back first, I'll be back soon."

Ran Qiuye knew that Gu Nan had been busy with some important things recently, so she didn't ask any more questions. She nodded obediently and said, "Okay, then I'll go back first. You should come back early too."

Gu Nan nodded, and after watching Ran Qiuye ride away, he quickly walked towards the private detective and asked anxiously, "How is it, are there any new investigation results?"

The private detective smiled confidently and said, "I will definitely not return empty-handed. We found out that there were a few elderly people around you, but they all went to the countryside. So, you have to give me some time. I need to go to the countryside to investigate further to find out what the connection is between them and what you want to investigate."

Gu Nan was not a fool, so he naturally understood what he meant. He was just asking for money, so he looked at him and said, "I told you to investigate this matter. As long as the result is satisfactory, I will give you any amount of money. Do you understand?"

The private detective nodded and looked at Gu Nan: "Then don't worry, we will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly for you."

After that, the private detective left. Gu Nan looked at their backs and said, "No matter how clean you wash yourself, old deaf lady, there will always be mud wherever you walk. Let's see what you can say then."
