Chen Fang thought to himself that he knew it would turn out this way. He didn't know where that strange thought had come from. How could he have ever thought that the young master would believe his nonsense?
Forget it. He'd better tell the truth.
Resignedly, Chen Fang took out Gu Sisi's wallet and clothes that he'd found in the warehouse.
Seeing the items laid out in front of him, Huo Cheng's expression was hard to read.
Chen Fang felt that this calm might well be the calm before the storm.
Huo Cheng slowly opened Gu Sisi's wallet. When he saw her ID card inside, he understood everything.
After seeing the tattered pile of clothes, Huo Cheng's face darkened even more.
Seeing the young master's reaction, Chen Fang suddenly thought, "It's over."
"Go. Advance our plan. I want Huo Yan to pay the price."
After what had happened to Gu Sisi, Huo Cheng immediately put the blame on Huo Yan. Naturally, he assumed that she was behind this.
"Sure enough..." Chen Fang knew that the young master would take action. Although it was part of the plan, he hadn't expected it to be advanced to this point.
"Any problems?"
"None, none." Chen Fang quickly left Huo Cheng's office. He thought he should inform the others not to enter the young master's office easily, lest they be caught in the young master's fury.
It was really terrifying. The young master on the brink of fury could explode at any moment.
After going to the office downstairs to give some instructions, Chen Fang started to work methodically.
But there was always someone who wasn't afraid of death and insisted on walking into the line of fire.
Sure enough, Chen Fang saw a woman carrying a stack of documents heading towards Huo Cheng's office. He was just about to stop her, but unfortunately, he was a step too late. By the time he tried to stop her, she had already gone in.
Less than ten seconds later, the woman came out crying.
Sure enough...
Everyone who looked up at this had the same expression. Of course, they just glanced up and then got back to their own work. After all, no one had that much time to care about things that didn't concern them much.
But soon, it was Chen Fang's turn.
There was a document here that needed Huo Cheng's signature. Chen Fang looked around and noticed that everyone was avoiding his gaze. He immediately understood.
"Sigh. I still have to do it myself." Resignedly, Chen Fang stood up and walked towards Huo Cheng's office with the document in hand.
But just as he raised his hand to knock on the door, a group of people suddenly appeared out of nowhere and stuffed several more documents into his arms.
"Brother Chen, you're going to ask the president to sign, right? Do me a favor too. Thanks."
"I also have a document here. I'm sure Brother Chen won't refuse, right?"
"Brother Chen, please. You're sacrificing yourself for others. We'll remember you."
"... "
In just a short while, Chen Fang had a lot of documents in his hands. Some were even more excessive. They just dropped the documents and left without even looking at Chen Fang.
But there were still some who were more considerate. They even helped Chen Fang knock on the door.
Sigh. Helpless. Life was tough.
Chen Fang stepped in. For some reason, he felt that this step of his was rather like a heroic sacrifice, as if he was carrying the expectant gazes of countless people behind him.
Chen Fang suddenly thought that it might not be that difficult.
But the next second, the overly cold temperature in the office and Huo Cheng's disdainful look like he was looking at an ant brought Chen Fang back to reality.
"Young master, these are the documents that need your signature."
Chen Fang opened the documents and handed them over, patiently waiting for Huo Cheng to sign.
Chen Fang felt that he was much more patient than Huo Cheng in this regard.
Soon, Huo Cheng finished signing. Before Chen Fang left, he couldn't help but say to Huo Cheng,
"Don't worry, young master. The young mistress will surely be fine."
But sometimes, doing a good deed doesn't necessarily lead to a good result. Just like now.
All Chen Fang got was an even more annoyed look from Huo Cheng.
"Assistant Chen, I think you should focus on your own work. If you don't have enough to do, I can assign more tasks to you."
As soon as he heard the words "assign more tasks", Chen Fang felt a headache coming on. He thought his current workload was already heavy enough. Besides the daily mountain of work, he was also acting as a babysitter, like helping to get documents signed.
With the documents in hand, he walked out of the office. The little guys who had just given him the documents to sign came back.
"Thanks, Brother Chen. You're awesome."
"I knew you could do it, Brother Chen. You're so amazing."
"Good job, bro. You're great. I'll remember you."
"... "
They were all smiling obsequiously.
But Chen Fang liked it. Holding the file folder, he was in a good mood.
But soon, Chen Fang couldn't be happy anymore because people started to find out what had happened to Huo Cheng.
"Hey, Brother Chen. What's wrong with President Huo?" This was the first one to come over, Gossipmonger No. 1.
"Yeah, yeah, Brother Chen. I also want to know. I heard that President Huo's wife is missing. Is that true?" This was Gossipmonger No. 2, who couldn't hold back after seeing the first one come over.
"Brother Chen, there's such a thing and you didn't tell us? Are you going to keep it from us?"
This was Gossipmonger No. 3, who came over after seeing No. 1 and No. 2 asking, adhering to the principle of never giving up.
"Hehe. How would I know about the president's affairs?"
Chen Fang tried to brush them off and get through this.
"Brother Chen, you're joking. How could you not know?"
"Oh, come on. Don't be joking. Is there anything you don't know? I saw you take people out this morning with my own eyes. Isn't that to look for our boss's wife?"
"Right, Brother Chen. You can't let us down. We believe in you wholeheartedly."
As she said this, she leaned towards Chen Fang.
"Don't talk nonsense. This is President Huo's family matter. It's not appropriate for us to discuss it."
Chen Fang said as he stepped back. Fortunately, the two girls who came with her pulled this girl back. Otherwise, Chen Fang really suspected that his good reputation would be ruined.
They would go back when they couldn't get the answers they wanted, right?
But the truth proved that Chen Fang underestimated the gossipy nature of these office women. Even though Chen Fang was very perfunctory and they didn't get any answers, they still didn't give up. They kept asking Chen Fang, looking as if they wouldn't stop until they got what they wanted.
If it weren't for Huo Cheng calling him, Chen Fang thought he wouldn't have been able to get away.
