Chapter 287 - 294: Caught Red-Handed
Once Li Yifei arrived at the company, he was immediately surrounded by many people, all of them eager to find out what had happened.
"It’s nothing, just the Public Security Bureau made a mistake, linking me to a case, but now they know I’m innocent, so I came back," Li Yifei said.
He didn’t mention the real situation and such an explanation was easier for everyone to accept. Even so, everyone sent their well wishes, as it was certainly something to celebrate to be released unharmed after being taken away by the Public Security Bureau.
Back in the office, colleagues continuously came to visit him, which touched Li Yifei’s heart. Whether it was genuine or pretense, after all, it was an expression of concern on the surface.
But what gave Li Yifei a headache was that everyone joked that he had gotten into trouble but managed to win Michelle’s heart, scoring a huge advantage.
The company’s three beauties—Xu Yingying, He Fangqing, and Michelle—with Michelle being the most down-to-earth. The male colleagues in the company loved to be around Michelle. Now that Michelle was seemingly taken, many were quite disappointed. While joking with Li Yifei, there was an undeniable hint of sourness in the tone of quite a few male colleagues.
Finally, after sending everyone away, it was noon. Everyone had finished eating in the company’s cafeteria. Li Yifei was thinking about going back to the office to rest when his cell phone rang.
"Director He, what’s the matter?" Li Yifei asked with all seriousness.
"Come to my office. I have something to talk to you about," He Fangqing’s voice was quite formal.
Li Yifei agreed and hung up the phone, said a quick word to two colleagues nearby, and then went to He Fangqing’s office on the fifth floor.
