The obsessive CEO's white moonlight is me

Chapter 38 Mysterious Man

Tang Zhou knew he had achieved his goal; he had successfully used these rumors to drive a wedge between him and Xie Zhiyi.

However, it was indeed the case that Old Master Xie loved Xie Zhiyi more than Xie Lianzhou, and he also wanted to hand over the company to her more.

Of course, this made Xie Lianzhou very unwilling.

"Tang Zhou, you can go out now!"

After that, he left the office, leaving Xie Lianzhou alone in the office.

His face gradually darkened, veins bulged on his forehead, and his eyes were filled with anger and resentment. He clenched his fists tightly, as if to vent all his grievances and dissatisfaction.

He roared angrily, his voice filled with despair: "Why is fate so unfair!" He felt he had put in so much effort, yet he never received the reward he deserved. No matter how hard he tried, he seemed unable to change the cruel reality, which filled him with immense anger and helplessness.

His breathing became rapid, and his chest heaved violently.

The flames of anger burned within him, yet he had nowhere to vent them. He couldn't understand why some people could achieve success so easily, while he had to endure so many setbacks and difficulties. Was it truly a cruel twist of fate? He was unwilling to accept it; he longed to prove himself, yet felt utterly powerless.

He sat slumped in the chair, staring at the ceiling...

"You all forced me to this..."

A while later, his phone rang.

A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone: "Are you Xie Lianzhou?" The voice on the other end was low, slightly hoarse, and had a husky quality.

The next second, I heard him say, "Are you interested in meeting her? It's about your sister. You've always gotten what you wanted, haven't you? You'll know once you meet her."

Xie Lianzhou asked warily, "Who are you?"

"Who I am is not important, what matters is that I can help you. Whether you see me or not is up to you."

"Location," he said.

"It's Happiness Cafe right across from your office building. See you at 1 p.m.

However, deep down, Xie Lianzhou remained vigilant.

After all, such collaborations often come with unknown risks. He needs time to think things through and weigh the pros and cons.

But the mysterious man's words on the phone made him waver. If this man could really help him achieve his goal, why not? Perhaps this was an opportunity to change his destiny.

However, he also understood that there's no such thing as a free lunch. The conditions offered by the other party were certainly not simple, but he had had enough of his current predicament and longed for a breakthrough and change. He was willing to try anything, as long as there was even a glimmer of hope.

"May I think about it?" He tried to keep his voice calm.

“Of course, but time is of the essence, you’d better make a decision as soon as possible,” the man said.

After hanging up the phone, he fell into deep thought. Was this a trap? He didn't know the answer, but a deep-seated desire told him it was worth a try.

He then began investigating information about the man, but to no avail. It was as if the man didn't exist in any database, which added to the mystery.

After much hesitation and internal struggle, he finally decided to meet the man.

When he saw the man, he couldn't help but feel a sense of awe. The man exuded a powerful aura that made people dare not offend him easily.

The man in front of me was wearing a simple black hoodie, a baseball cap, and a mask. His dark brown pupils revealed indifference and aloofness, and his expression was calm and detached.

"Hello, I'm the one who called you," the man introduced himself.

He nodded, indicating that he understood.

"You mentioned my sister on the phone. Do you know my sister?" The man took out several photos and placed them in front of him. The person in the photos was none other than his sister, Xie Zhiyi.

Xie Lianzhou looked at Xie Zhiyi in the photo, his heart filled with doubt and unease. He couldn't help but ask, "You called me out here just to show me her photo?"

His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction and doubt, as he felt he might have been tricked by the man in front of him. He had just been looking forward to getting some news about his sister, but now he only saw some photos.

However, just as he was about to question the man, the other man suddenly spoke up: "The woman in the photo, who looks exactly like your sister, is named Xie Shiyun."

Xie Lianzhou was stunned. He stared wide-eyed at the woman in the photo.

Indeed, they look very similar, but there are some subtle differences.

A strange emotion welled up inside him, and he didn't know how to deal with this sudden information.

Xie Lianzhou frowned, staring at the man, trying to find more clues from his expression and eyes. He wanted to know who this woman named Xie Shiyun was and why she looked so much like his sister.

The man seemed to sense Xie Lianzhou's confusion. He sighed softly, pointed to the woman in the photo, and slowly explained, "She was Fu Shiyue's most beloved woman, but she committed suicide by jumping into the sea. But at that very moment, your Xie family's granddaughter, who had been missing for many years, was found. Don't you think there's some intricate connection between these events...?"

Seeing Xie Lianzhou's bewildered expression, the man's lips curled into a slight smile as he continued, "It's true that she's your sister, but if you could turn the real into the fake, who do you think would be the biggest beneficiary?"

The man said those words directly, as if he wanted to enlighten Xie Lianzhou.

Xie Lianzhou was startled. He could understand the meaning behind the man's words, but he seemed to recall the same words the man at the wedding had said to him, but nothing had come of it...

“I know what you’re worried about. Great men don’t concern themselves with trifles.” The man patted Xie Lianzhou on the shoulder, a sly glint in his eyes.

Hesitated for a while

"What do you need me to do?"

"But I can't tell you yet."

The man paused for a moment, then leaned forward slightly. "I can help you get everything you want, but in return, you have to do something for me."

Xie Lianzhou narrowed his eyes; he didn't believe in free lunches. "What is it?"

The man pulled a document from his pocket and handed it to him. "This is the contract. Take a look. If there are no problems, we'll sign it."

Xie Lianzhou took the contract and began to examine it carefully. The more he read, the deeper his brows furrowed; this was practically an unfair contract! But when he saw the final payment, a flicker of struggle crossed his eyes.

"Well, have you made up your mind?" The man looked at him with a half-smile.

Xie Lianzhou gritted his teeth and signed his name on the contract. "I agree!"

The man put away the contract, stood up, and said, "Very good, I look forward to our cooperation. I will contact you again regarding the specifics. This is my business card."

"Wait, what's your name...?" he stood up and asked him.

"There's no rush now; you'll find out later."

They're making it all so mysterious, not even letting us know their names. Xie Lianzhou was truly speechless.

After saying that, he put the business card on the table, got up and left.

Afterwards, he returned to his office with the business card and a stack of documents left by the man. Sitting down in his chair, he took a deep breath and slowly opened the document about the secret to uncovering Xie Zhiyi's past...

He looked at the woman in the photo, who looked exactly like Xie Zhiyi now, but her name was Xie Shiyun, and she was from Nancheng.

She was adopted by the Fu family at a young age and lived there ever since, raised by Fu Shiyue, who is now her brother-in-law.

So perhaps the reason he's with her now is because she looks exactly like her.

This news shocked and confused him. It turned out that Xie Shiyun had once been Fu Shiyue's most beloved woman, but the records stated that she had committed suicide by jumping into the sea, and the Fu family had publicly announced her death...

He continued to peruse the documents, trying to learn more about Xie Shiyun. The documents suggested that she held a special position in the Fu family and had a deep affection for Fu Shiyue.

However, the information did not provide details about the specific nature of the feelings.

He clutched the document tightly, his heart filled with anticipation and nervousness. He imagined what his grandfather's expression and reaction would be when he handed the document to him.

He had a plan in mind, but it still needed further refinement and consideration. Therefore, he decided to temporarily place the information and business card in the drawer next to him for future reference and use.

Carefully place them inside, making sure the drawer can be closed completely. This way, these important items can be safely stored away and won't be found or lost by others.

Fu Shiyue brought Xie Zhiyi home with him. When they arrived at the door, he turned back to look at her and smiled gently. "My parents wanted to meet you, and since they were free today, they brought you along."

Xie Zhiyi smiled, nodded, and followed him into the living room. "Okay."

Li Lefang came out to greet them upon hearing the voices. Her eyes lit up when she saw the two of them, and she quickly walked over. But the moment she saw Xie Zhiyi, she froze completely.

"Shi Yun..." she murmured softly.

"Mom... what did you call me?"

"Mom, this is Zhiyi." Fu Shiyue stepped forward and stood in front of Xie Zhiyi, looking at her as he spoke.

Li Lefang snapped out of her daze, gave an awkward smile, and said, "It's Zhiyi..."

She knew she had said the wrong thing; Xie Shiyun's name could no longer be mentioned in the Fu family...

Xie Zhiyi greeted her sweetly, "Hello, Mom."

"Oh my, what a beautiful girl! Come in and have a seat!" Mrs. Fu said with a smile.

Xie Zhiyi and Fu Shiyue sat down on the sofa, and Fu's mother warmly brought them fruit and tea, asking about their recent life.

"Ah Yue, Zhiyi is beautiful and well-behaved. You've really married a good wife! You must treat her well," Mother Fu instructed.

"Don't worry, Mom, I will." Fu Shiyue looked at Xie Zhiyi gently.

Xie Zhiyi smiled and nodded, indicating that she was doing well.

At this moment, Mr. Fu also came downstairs, and when he saw Xie Zhiyi, disbelief flashed in his eyes...

“Dad, this is Zhiyi,” Fu Shiyue said, standing up.

"Dad..." Xie Zhiyi stood up politely to greet Fu's father.

He looked at Xie Zhiyi in front of him; they were practically identical.

However, her temperament was different from Xie Shiyun's...

Is this a coincidence or is there another purpose?
