Chapter 73 Doubts in Perfection
Asher gestured for the man to follow him into the room, and before he could sit down, the henchman said respectfully, “Master Jun, I’ve made all the inquiries you asked me to make.”
“So tell me, what’s going on, as I remember before, Leng Tianming doesn’t seem to have any family, so how come a granddaughter suddenly popped up?” Asher sat on the boss chair, his brows locked.
The henchman bowed his head and replied, “Master Jun, it is said that Leng Tianming’s son and daughter-in-law both died in a plane crash due to an accident, leaving behind a daughter.”
“Leaving a daughter behind is condensation?” One of Asher’s bushy eyebrows knitted tighter.
If Leng Tianming’s son had left a daughter behind, there would be nothing to doubt about Condensation’s identity. There was nothing to be suspicious about, which was exactly what Asher didn’t want to hear.NôvelDrama.Org holds text © rights.
“Master Jun, by all rights it should be Condensation, I also specifically checked Condensation’s information, the information shows that Condensation has been studying abroad and only came back a month ago and took over the Shengshi Group.” There was also doubt on the handlers’ faces, “However, when I looked for someone to check, I found a suspicious point.”
Asher immediately came to life and hurriedly asked, “What’s the suspicion?”
This henchman was one of his most trusted men, and if he could spot the suspicion, it would most likely mean that something was really wrong with the condensation.
“It’s not really anything else, it’s just that this condensation is so well-documented, it’s like it’s specifically waiting for us to investigate.” The handlers didn’t seem to know how to answer appropriately, and chose a word in a tight-lipped manner.
Asher’s body paused, understanding that sometimes being too perfect was rather a suspicion.
A person’s upbringing can’t be this perfect, unless all of this text’s previous information was faked to make it so perfect.
“So, have you checked what the identity of that Namgung question beside Condensation is?” After pausing for a moment, Asher finally asked the question. He was a man, and he could tell at a glance that Nangong asked’s feelings for Mia were definitely not simple.
And the Mia that she is now is not the Mia of old, she is radiant, dignified and beautiful, calm and generous when it comes to problems, and can definitely make any man who sees her fall in love.
That’s exactly what Asher is worried about.
The handlers pondered for a moment and replied, “Master Jun, this Nangong Man used to follow Leng Tianming’s side all the time and was loyal, this time when Condensation returned to manage the company, Leng Tianming naturally was not at ease and definitely had to let him follow over. The one he trusts the most seems to be this Nangong Man.”
“Then, have you investigated the relationship between Condensation and Namgung asked?” When asking this question, Asher’s always calm tone finally had a slight tremor.
“Master Jun, this Nangong asked has always followed Condensation around, Condensation seems to discuss everything with him and trusts him a lot. In their private lives, the two also seem to be closer …” The henchman, knowing Asher’s mood, replied apprehensively.
“That’s enough!” Before he could finish his sentence, he was cut off coldly by Asher.
The handlers nodded in a panic, “Master Jun, I’ve compiled a lot of the rest of the information, so take a look.”
Placing a file bag in his hand on the table, the henchman hung his head even lower. After a long silence, Asher waved his hand coldly, signaling that he could go out.
When his men were out, Asher slowly drew out the information in his file folder, one thick brow knitted together as he skimmed quickly through the stuff on it.
“I just can’t believe that you can really forget all about the past!” Putting the information down in his hands, Asher looked coldly not far away.
He had just put down the information in his hand when he saw Leena rush in and upon seeing him asked anxiously, “Asher, have you seen the news yet?”
“What’s wrong again?” Asher didn’t look much better when he saw Leena.
“Asher, that, that the, the president of the, of the Centurion Group in the news condensed, actually, actually looks exactly like Mia …” Thinking of Asher’s reaction after seeing it, Riina couldn’t say her words nervously.
Over the years, although Asher had given all sorts of reasons for refusing to consummate the wedding, Lena knew that it was all because Asher simply couldn’t let go of Mia, who had disappeared five years ago, in his heart!
Asher snapped his head around and looked coldly at the flustered Leena, his voice cold and forced, “And you’re just learning about this now?”
For some reason, he always felt that there was something of an act on Lina’s face, as if she was faking it. He was sure that if Mia came back, the first one to sulk would be Riina. But if Riina’s current nervousness was faked, then there was only one possibility.
That is, Lena knew Mia was back!
If all Leena had to do after she knew Mia was back was to desperately stop Mia from seeing him. But now she’s gone against the grain to tell him Mia is back, there’s definitely something wrong with that!
It suddenly occurred to him that Namgung had said that Mia had been injured and had been stopped and robbed by someone inexplicable during the night, and that there had been that group of reporters who had inexplicably appeared at the hospital, and the pointed questions the reporters had asked.
Five years had passed, he was sure these reporters wouldn’t keep holding on to this, if they were bringing up old stories then there was only one possibility, someone had told them about Asher and Mia’s relationship!
Lena wondered why Asher’s expression was so icy and replied with trepidation, “Asher, what’s wrong with you, of course I just found out now, I only found out when I saw the news, what the hell do you mean?”
“Why are you so nervous, I was just asking.” Asher held her eyes, “I know about this because I’ve met her in person!”
“What!” Riina couldn’t help but pull her voice up, but then reacted and said sarcastically, “I originally thought you didn’t know, so I rushed over to tell you, but I didn’t expect you guys to have actually met. How about it, who the hell is she, and how did she become the president of the Shengshi Group again?”
The panic under her eyes did not with escape Asher’s eyes.
Asher already had an answer in his heart, and faintly lowered his eyes and said, “It’s just a look-alike, that woman, how could she be the president of Shengshi Group?”
“Oh, I think, too, that this whole thing is simply bizarre, how it’s possible!” Lena let out a long breath, her face gradually taking on a lighter tone.
Asher’s dark eyes locked on hers again and said, “But I did hear that one night not too long ago, someone actually held her hostage! And, because the people around her came just in time, they even caught one!”
“No …,” Lena exclaimed out of breath before realizing she had said the words inappropriately and immediately shut her mouth tightly, her face open and royal.
“What won’t? How do you know it won’t?” Asher coldly pressed closer to her, his gaze locking on her eyes, “Hardly, did that have anything to do with you?”
Riina panicked and shook her head, her face pale, “No no no, how could I have anything to do with that. I just, just meant, no way, how could she have been taken hostage! You misheard me, misheard me …”
Asher’s eyes flashed with recognition, the panic of Lina had been enough to make one thing clear, she definitely had nothing to do with this!
“Well, Asher, I still have to go check on Grandpa, so I’ll leave now!” Fearing that Asher would pursue her further, Riina made an excuse and planned to bolt.
Knowing her intentions, Asher didn’t force her to stay and watched her hasty back with a grim look.
With Leena intervening, the matter becomes more and more complicated.
The next morning just after waking up, Asher received another call from the Dean, “Master Jun, Dr. Leng is in my office now, I made an excuse to leave her behind, you better hurry up!”
“Is she alone now? Where’s Namgung asking?” After a slight pause, Asher asked, still cautiously.
If Nangong asked if she was by her side, I’m sure the conversation between them would have become more difficult.
“Master Jun, Mr. Nangong seems to be in trouble, right now Dr. Leng is alone in my office, you hurry over!” The dean hung up the phone in a hurry.
After putting down the phone, Asher hesitated just a little and sped off in his car towards People’s Hospital.
When he arrived at the dean’s office, he saw the dean greet him with a nervous face, and after exchanging a few pleasantries with him, he made an excuse to slip away.
Asher quieted his mind and slowly pushed open the office door to see Mia standing with her back to him, looking at a painting on the wall. Hearing the push on the door, she quickly turned her head around, her face immediately pulling down when she saw that the visitor was Asher, “Why you?”
“How can’t it be me?” Asher’s eyes, glued to Mia.
She was in a decent casual suit today, with a dryness in her elegance, and a characteristic charm in her dryness. On her absolutely beautiful little face, she was painted with a light makeup, making her whole person look more fresh and bright, making people unable to move their eyes.
Mia took a step backwards and looked warily at Asher who was walking towards her, “So what are you doing here? I have nothing to say to you because I don’t even know you!”
“What are you so nervous about? Do you know what I want with you?” Seeing her look, Asher hooked his lips in a slight smile, “I just came to talk to you about something else, and this defensive look you’re giving me almost makes the mistake of thinking you know me and that’s why you’re so defensive of me!”
Mia froze and immediately lifted her guard, saying indifferently, “I’ve already said that we don’t know each other, there’s nothing to talk about.”
“You’re an expert in heart disease, so naturally I came to you for the cure. Otherwise, what did you think I would be looking for you for?” Asher wasn’t angry, his tone bland and unfazed by her coldness in the slightest.
“Go ahead, what’s the matter?” Mia’s attitude, cold to the core, didn’t seem to have the patience to even listen anymore.
