Chapter 1151: He Actually Likes Her This Much… (7)

So now, what Qiao Lian needed to do was to provoke Qiao Yiyi.
Although she felt it was an extremely meaningless undertaking.
Seeing that Qiao Yiyi had left, her expression softened as she walked to the side and sat down quietly.
Shortly after this, she heard gossip.
“Hey, have you guys heard? It’s frightening up there in the penthouse!”
“What’s the matter?”
“Mr. Lu is furious.”
“Isn’t Director Lu always furious?”
“What do you know? Director Lu seldom beams with joy. Normally, if you make a mistake, he doesn’t say much, but this time he blew his top in his penthouse office. Now everyone upstairs is nervous as hell, afraid of even speaking.”
Qiao Lian’s pupils shrank at once as she paid attention to the people talking.
“What’s the matter? What happened that made Director Lu rush into the office so early in the morning?”
“That’s right. Isn’t Director Lu feeling unwell?”
One of them looked around cautiously before saying in a low voice, “My aunt’s cousin’s niece works in the secretary’s department in the penthouse. I’ve just sneaked upstairs to ask. Guess what?”
“Someone broke into the penthouse and something got stolen!”
At those words, everyone in the room sucked in their breath sharply.
“Damn! Is that true?”
“That’s right, it can’t possibly be. That’s the penthouse! How did that happen?”
“Inconceivable, isn’t it? Let me tell you something even more inconceivable! Actually, they don’t know when the break-in happened. It’s only that this morning, when the assistant went in to do some cleaning, he noted the safe behind a picture had been opened by someone.”
Sitting in a corner, Qiao Lian’s head snapped up when she heard this. She looked in their direction in disbelief.
Then her pupils shrank as every alarm bell in her went off.
That was the end.
Had she been busted?
At this thought, she broke out in cold sweat.
She held her breath as the person continued, “It’s strange though. Do you know how he discovered someone had gone through the safe?”
The group shook their heads at once and looked curiously at the person who was speaking.
Qiao Lian also thought that this was inconceivable and looked at the person with a stunned expression.
After going into the office yesterday, and right in the critical moment before Qiao Yiyi burst into the room, she had returned everything to its original place and shut the safe. How could anyone have discovered this?
As she pondered, the person continued.
“I heard that when Mr. Lu found out about this, he rushed down to the office. Then, after opening the safe, he said someone had moved something inside an important box.”
Qiao Lian was flabbergasted.
That box. So it was that box that gave it away.
But how could that box have given it away?
She narrowed her eyes and furrowed and frowned.
The safe was opened yesterday. After investigating everyone else around him, the very next suspect in line would surely be herself.
So should she run now, before Lu Nanze discovered her?
She sprang onto her feet at this thought.
But at the very same time, the office door was opened. Lu Nanze’s assistant appeared at once and called her from the doorway, “Ms. Qiao, Mr. Lu would like you to come up to the penthouse right away.”
