Chapter 540: Suspicion

Chapter 540: Chapter 540: Suspicion

Chen Feng woke up from the nightmare again; ever since he had received that photo, the news of his missing son caused him not to have slept well at all, waking up from nightmares every night.

In his dreams, it seemed he saw his son infected with AIDS, his son looked at him with despair in his eyes, "Dad, save me, save me, I don’t want to die!"

Huff! Chen Feng sat up, his pajamas soaked through.

"What are you doing!" His wife was also awakened by Chen Feng’s movements and asked somewhat puzzled.

Chen Feng had not told his wife about their son’s situation, so she was completely unaware of the danger their son was in.

"It’s nothing, just that the work pressure has been a bit much recently, causing some insomnia! Go back to sleep!" Chen Feng said, "I’m going to get some water."

After drinking water and going back to bed, Chen Feng’s wife didn’t go to sleep but asked with some concern, "What’s wrong at work? Could there be any danger?"

Her husband was in the finance department of the company, which was also the department most prone to issues, so Chen Feng’s wife was worried.

"Old Chen, you’re not doing something to wrong the company, are you?" his wife said. "The company has been very good to us; you must not make any mistakes!"

A sigh escaped Chen Feng’s heart; it was too late for anything now!

"Don’t worry, it’s not that serious. The recent business inspections are just a bit strict, and with President Yun’s car accident, so..." Chen Feng reassured, "It’ll be alright after this period, nothing to worry about, go to sleep!"

Comforted by Chen Feng, his wife finally fell asleep, but Chen Feng lay in bed, eyes open, not knowing what he was thinking.

Early the next morning, Chen Feng came to the company quite early, warmly greeted by many colleagues along the way. He wore a warm smile as if nothing had happened.

Upon reaching his office, Chen Feng sat on his chair, just as he was about to take a document from beside him, his motions suddenly froze, and a hint of wariness appeared in his eyes.

Someone had tampered with his things! Chen Feng took a deep breath, a foreboding feeling rising within him.

Every time he left his office, he would make a discreet mark on the documents, but now, the mark on the document had been moved, meaning someone had tampered with his documents!

Thousands of thoughts raced through Chen Feng’s mind, someone had tampered with his documents, who could it be, what could their motive be?

What worried Chen Feng most now was that someone might have noticed his actions. Once they informed Yun Hanrui, it would be difficult to accomplish Young Master Fang’s task, and then his son would...

Chen Feng shivered, "No, I must find out who it was!"

After making up his mind, Chen Feng went to the surveillance room.

"Director Chen, you’re here?" The duty officer, Little Wang, saw Chen Feng coming in and quickly stood up, asking, "Director Chen, do you need something?"

Chen Feng nodded and said, "Little Wang, could you adjust the surveillance for me? I want to see who entered my office from yesterday to this morning."

A trace of dilemma appeared on Little Wang’s face, "Director Chen, viewing the surveillance footage requires the signature of my supervisor, I can’t just access it casually! Did you lose any documents in your office?"

"That’s the situation!" Chen Feng said with a wry smile, "Yesterday I carelessly left my wedding ring on the desk in my office, but when I arrived this morning, I found it gone. I want to see who entered my office, so I can ask if they took it for me."

Little Wang said, "But Director Chen, there is no camera inside your office, even if I wanted to help, I couldn’t do much!"

"I remember that Camera 17 can see my office doorway. Little Wang, please help me out! If I can’t find the ring today, your sister-in-law will really blow her top!" Chen Feng said with a wry smile, "I really talked my way out of it yesterday, you wouldn’t just stand by and watch me suffer, would you?"

Little Wang hesitated for a moment. After all, Chen Feng was the head of the finance department, and his request wasn’t too excessive—just to see who had been in his office. If he refused too adamantly, what if Chen Feng held a grudge against him in the future? After all, he was one of the company’s high-ranking officals!

With that thought, Little Wang gritted his teeth, "Alright, Director Chen, but I can only access Camera 17 for you, I really can’t do anything beyond that!"

"I am already very satisfied with that!" Chen Feng patted Little Wang on the shoulder and said, "By the way, I reviewed the performance of your department earlier, and your score was quite high. Good job!"

Little Wang’s eyes lit up. A high performance score meant a substantial extra bonus. This was an olive branch from Chen Feng!

With that slight hesitation now completely vanished, Little Wang quickly accessed Camera 17. Since it was only footage from one night, a familiar figure soon appeared on the monitor.

"Zhao Bing, is it him?" On the screen, Zhao Bing, holding a cloth, walked into Director Chen’s office and about ten minutes later, came out wiping sweat from his forehead.

"That’s the only person!" Little Wang said, "No one else entered your office besides him!"

Chen Feng smiled and said, "Good, now I know. Maybe Little Zhao saw it while he was cleaning. I’ll ask him about it. Oh, and let’s keep this matter between us, okay?"

Little Wang nodded, "Don’t worry, Director Chen, I won’t breathe a word of it!"

Returning to his own office, Chen Feng furrowed his brows deeply.

According to the surveillance footage, it was Zhao Bing who had come on his own initiative to clean up. Since Zhao Bing was a newbie and diligent—usually taking care of miscellaneous tasks around the finance department, and had cleaned for him before!

But still, Chen Feng felt puzzled. If it was just cleaning, why would he touch any documents?

"Zhao Bing was hired with a recommendation letter from the president. That means he’s connected to the president! Could it be...could it be the president suspected something was amiss in the finance department and had planted a mole?" Chen Feng thought to himself, "But that’s not right, Zhao Bing is just a college student who hasn’t even graduated yet, a green horn, what could he know?"

In his heart, Chen Feng was unwilling to believe that Zhao Bing was the president’s mole, because if that were true, it meant his secrets could very well be exposed!

"Better to be safe than sorry. If there really is something fishy about Zhao Bing, then I may just have to..." Thinking this, a fierce look flickered through Chen Feng’s eyes.

"Zhao Bing, come in for a moment!" Chen Feng picked up the intercom phone and called Zhao Bing.
