The boss took a few puffs of smoke and said unhurriedly, “It’s getting more and more interesting. You guys keep a close watch on that man. It’s best if you can find out about Lin Wan’s secret from him. If there is not enough manpower, I’ll assign a few more people to you.”

“Thank you, boss. Don’t worry. That man is looking for Lin Wan all over the world. He is in a very bad state now, so it’s easy to get him to let his guard down. I have confidence that I will be able to get Lin Wan’s secret out of him.”

“Okay, is there anything else?”

“Yes. Su and Han had been watching Wu Heping. He once went out to make a phone call during that dinner. They were far away, so they couldn’t hear him clearly, but he must have asked something about Lin Wan and those two waiters.”

“In other words, Lin Wan has something to do with the death of the two waiters?”

“Yes, boss. That’s what I think.”

“Well, then, why did you say that Wu Heping’s death was also related to her?”

Zhou Zijian gave a chuckle and explained to the boss, “A young man pretended to get the wrong person and patted him on the shoulder. Three days later, Wu Heping was dead.”

The boss acutely grasped the main point and asked, “Does that young man have something to do with Lin Wan?”

“Yes, he is Lin Kun. After patting Wu Heping, he immediately returned to his place and didn’t take a single step out of his house again. Boss, he went all the way there, just to give Wu Heping a pat on his shoulder. He definitely had something to do with his death.”

The boss understood that Lin Kun’s behavior was abnormal. However, he had no enmity with Wu Heping. Why did he go so far to kill him?

Obviously, someone had instructed him to do this. Then, it was evident who was the mastermind behind this.

The boss got up, walked up to Zhou Zijian, and patted him hard on the shoulder.

“Good job. You guys did a great job this time. I am very satisfied.”

Zhou Zijian hurriedly replied, “Thank you, boss!”

“Go to the finance department, and collect a bonus of one hundred thousand yuan later. You can decide how you want to share the money!”

Hearing that, Zhou Zijian hurriedly expressed his thanks to the boss.

The boss waved and said, “Remember that you have to keep this matter strictly confidential. You must not disclose any of this information to anyone. In addition, you need to find out about Lin Wan’s identity as soon as possible and report any news to me immediately.”

“Okay!”

“Have you gotten the evidence of Lin Wan’s infidelity?”

Zhou Zijian revealed an awkward expression and replied, “There is no much progression. Lin Wan rarely comes into contact with men, so it’s not easy to find evidence of her infidelity.”

“It’s okay!” the boss said generously.

“Opportunities will come sooner or later. Follow up on this matter closely. We have to get the evidence of her infidelity as soon as possible. It has been quite some time, and we should give He Xiaoyu an explanation.”

“Don’t worry, boss. I know what to do!”

…

Lin Wan came to the school early the next morning. Instead of going to look for Wang Shen, she came to Mr. Yan’s office.

“Hi, Ms. Lin. Please have a seat!”

Mr. Yan greeted her warmly and politely as usual. Lin Wan didn’t sit down. Instead, she took out a letter from her bag and put it on Mr. Yan’s desk.

“Mr. Yan, this is my resignation letter. I intend to complete the resignation procedures now.”

“Uh … Didn’t you say that you will only leave at the end of the school term? Why did you suddenly bring it forward?” Mr. Yan asked in a perplexed tone.

“Well, I am going abroad with my husband and may not be back for a long while. We might even settle down abroad. I want to settle this matter before I leave this place.”

“Oh, I see. If that is the case, I will agree to it. If you want to stay, I will enthusiastically welcome you, Ms. Lin. However, if you want to leave, I will send you off warmly. Let’s maintain a good relationship with each other!”

…

“Ms. Lin requested to complete the resignation procedures?” Wang Shen looked at Mr. Yan in surprise and asked incredulously.

The latter unintentionally glanced at him and replied with a nod, “Yes, she had formally submitted her resignation letter this morning. I have already agreed. Please assist Ms. Lin to complete the resignation procedures. If you have any questions, you can come and ask me.”

Wang Shen calmed down and quickly regained his composure.

“Mr. Yan, I have talked to her face to face yesterday. She has agreed to come back to work and promised that she would stay until the end of the school term. Why did she suddenly change her mind?”

“She is going overseas and may not be back for a long while. Therefore, we will have to complete the resignation procedures as soon as possible. The upper management is strictly monitoring our work performance now. I don’t want to have any problems because of her.”

Wang Shen believed what he said. He knew Lin Wan’s background well and knew that she might leave Shanyang at any time. Maybe something had happened in Nanyang, and her family needed her to go back to deal with it.

However, he had not started to make a move on her yet, and the two of them had not started to date each other. They were not even friends now, let alone lovers. How could he persuade Lin Wan to hand over the property to him?

No, he needed to think of a way to keep her here, even for a month or even half a month. He might be able to win this woman’s heart.

Wang Shen suddenly had an idea and said calmly, “Okay, please rest assured, Mr. Yan. I’ll process the resignation procedures for her right away. Just leave this matter to me!”

Mr. Yan was very satisfied with his attitude. He was really worried that there would be a second Wu Heping. Since that woman wanted to leave, then let her leave as soon as possible. He hoped that there would not be any more accidents.

With more than 30 years of workplace experience, Mr. Yan vaguely felt that Wu Heping’s death might not be simple.

However, since it had nothing to do with him, he didn’t bother to think about it. He only hoped that Lin Wan could leave as soon as possible.

Leaving Mr. Yan’s office, Wang Shen returned to his room. After pondering for a moment, he dialed Lin Wan’s number.

“Hello, Ms. Lin. I am Wang Shen.”

Lin Wan’s apologetic tone came from the other end of the line, “Hello, Mr. Wang. I’m really sorry for letting you down. I …”

“It’s okay!” Wang Shen interrupted her.

“I respect your decision, Ms. Lin. You are free to come and go. We will not force our employees to make decisions that are against their wishes. I can fully understand. Please don’t feel sorry about it.”

“Okay, thank you for your understanding, Mr. Wang. I feel much better now.”

Lin Wan’s tone had obviously become more relaxed. It seemed that Wang Shen’s words had made her feel relieved.

“Ms. Lin, I will process your resignation now. The whole process will take about a month. Is this okay for you?”

“That’s really long. Mr. Wang, can you speed up the process?”

Wang Shen replied calmly, “According to the employment contract that we signed previously, after employees submit their resignations, a one-month transition period is required. During this transition period, we need you to prepare a proper handover at work. You can only officially leave after the transition period.”

“In general, the entire procedure will take at least a month and a half. I know that you are in a hurry to complete the procedures, Ms. Lin. Therefore, I have reduced this period to the shortest possible time. The transition period will be twenty days, and the procedures will need ten days. All the resignation procedures will be completed within a month. Do you think this is okay for you?”

“Okay, Mr. Wang. Thank you!” Lin Wan thanked him on the phone. Her tone was soft and sincere.

“Don’t mention it. It’s my honor to be able to help you, Ms. Lin. I have another suggestion. Can I tell you about it?”

“Yes, please tell me about it, Mr. Wang.”

“Alright, then I will get straight to the point. Based on the schedule of the singing competition, the finals will be held in twenty days. During this period, I still hope that you can participate in this work as a teacher.”

Lin Wan instantly fell silent upon hearing that. She didn’t immediately respond to Wang Shen’s request.

Wang Shen’s tone remained calm and sincere, “Ms. Lin, doing so will not affect your resignation procedures but will give you a perfect ending to your career. I really hope that you can seriously consider my suggestion, Ms. Lin. The school and the students hope that you can give us a little help.”

After a moment of hesitation, Lin Wan finally made a decision.

“Okay, I will accept this suggestion. You are right, Mr. Wang. I am going to leave this school. Since I have a chance to give my career a perfect ending, why not?”

“Let’s do it this way. I will go to the school at 3 p.m. every day to train the choir until the competition ends.”

Wang Shen was very happy and said sincerely, “Ms. Lin, I thank you on the behalf of the school and the children. I have a hunch that you will surely not regret your decision today. The children will definitely repay you with excellent results.”

“I would also like to thank you for your trust and invitation, Mr. Wang. Let’s do it this way. I will see you in the afternoon!”

After putting down the phone, Lin Wan decided to talk to her husband face to face. Some things were better to talk about in person than on the phone. At the very least, she could observe the expression on his face, which would prevent the conflicts from deepening.

Li Mu was called out of the software park by his wife. After getting in the car, he said with a giggle, “Do you want me to go shopping with you again? I have a lot of meetings today, so I really can’t skip work to accompany you. You must not be angry with me.”

“Honey, I have already submitted my resignation!”

Li Mu froze for a moment and then said happily, “That’s good. This is a piece of good news to me.”

Lin Wan rolled her eyes at him and said with a pout, “Do you really not want me to go to work so badly? Are you so ecstatic to hear this news?”

“Yes, yes, yes! Li Mu nodded his head repeatedly and said, “Yes, I am happy. I am really ecstatic to hear that!”

Lin Wan gave him a hard punch and said complainingly, “You are quite honest. You don’t even bother to cover up. You are such a selfish prick!”

Li Mu held her hand, gave it a kiss, and said, “This is a piece of news that is worth celebrating. I will treat you to a sumptuous meal after I get off work later.”

“Okay,” Lin Wan hesitated for a moment before saying to her husband, “The resignation process will take a month. Therefore, I can only leave the school a month later.”

“It takes that long?” Li Mu felt a little surprised. “Does it take that long for a contract staff who teaches music to complete the resignation procedures? Did someone purposely make things difficult for you?”

“No. According to the contract, the entire resignation process will need one and a half months. The school has specially shortened the handover period for me, and all the resignation procedures will be completed before the trip.”

“Alright, it’s only a month. There is no rush for that.”

“Honey, I would like to discuss something with you. Can you quietly listen to what I want to say?”
