Eternal Love: The Billionaire's Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 580 - 573: Elevator Dilemma

Bai Yiran was resolute about going back to work. She had arranged with the Human Resources department to officially start next Monday, which meant she had less than a week at home to prepare.

Actually, there wasn’t anything specific she needed to prepare. Bai Yiran’s goal was clear: she wanted to help Leng Yichen overthrow Wu Chengzu. However, she also knew that as soon as Leng Yichen found out her intentions, he would lock her up at home to protect her, and then she wouldn’t be able to do anything.

In this war, Bai Yiran didn’t want Leng Yichen to bear everything himself; more importantly, she wanted revenge for Cheng Shishi and her grandmother!

Back then, Cheng Shishi must have discovered something about Wu Chengzu, which is why she was so panicked to call her and warn her to be careful. Bai Yiran felt that as long as she could find out what Cheng Shishi was warning her about, everything would become clear.

So, approaching Wu Chengzu was an unavoidable choice for Bai Yiran. The only way to get close to Wu Chengzu without arousing suspicion and without making a fuss was to go back to work.

Working again officially, after not working for so long, Bai Yiran initially found herself a bit out of sync and had to start from scratch on many things.

Fortunately, Brother Zhou and the other colleagues were very supportive, and within a few days, Bai Yiran was back on track, returning to the level of work capability she had before the production.

In the blink of an eye, Xiao Xi was five months old, and Bai Yiran had been back at work for some time. Yet during this period, she had not seen Wu Chengzu even once, not even a chance encounter in the elevator.

To avoid seeming too deliberate, Bai Yiran hadn’t proactively contacted Wu Chengzu, but had gradually resumed exchanging messages with Wu Jingjing on WeChat.

At noon, Bai Yiran was still in the office reviewing client information when Brother Zhou kindly knocked on the door and reminded her, "Time’s up, you should go home and feed the baby!"

Bai Yiran was startled, checked the time, and smiled, nodding, "You’re just teasing me!"

Saying that, Bai Yiran picked up her bag and prepared to leave.

She entered the elevator, which slowly descended, finally stopping on the seventh floor. She suddenly felt a bit nervous; the seventh floor was where Wu Chengzu’s company was located. She quickly adjusted her state to look indifferent, waiting for the elevator doors to open.

As the doors opened, Bai Yiran was greeted by the sight of the entrance to Wu Chengzu’s company, but no one was outside the elevator.

Bai Yiran looked at the empty corridor outside, internally debating whether to step out and take a look, to go and see Wu Chengzu’s company, possibly making some discoveries.

However, until the elevator door closed, Bai Yiran remained standing inside, only unclenching her tightly held hands at the very moment the doors actually shut.

Outside the elevator, standing at the corner, Wu Chengzu emerged, watching the numbers above the elevator decrease until it stopped at the parking level.

With a slight smile, he pressed the elevator button again.

"It seems that woman Bai Yiran really can’t stand just staying at home and wants to return to work," remarked Chen Bei, who was standing behind Wu Chengzu.

Wu Chengzu had instructed them to secretly install a hidden camera inside the elevator, which meant they were fully aware of everything happening inside, making their counter-surveillance efforts easier.

Since Bai Yiran suddenly decided to return to work at Yao Zhiqing’s company, Wu Chengzu had been observing if Bai Yiran had any other motives. He wasn’t sure if Leng Yichen had told her everything, nor was he clear on how much Bai Yiran actually knew.

If she had returned to work with other intentions, then... 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

"Boss, as it stands now, Bai Yiran seems to know nothing yet."

Wu Chengzu said nothing as the elevator arrived, and he stepped inside.

Chen Bei continued to ask, "But boss, if the day comes when she knows everything, what would you do?"

The air in the elevator suddenly turned icy as Wu Chengzu maintained a straight gaze, "Chen Bei, don’t test me with your words. It seems you still haven’t learned your lesson!"

Hearing this, Chen Bei immediately fell silent, not daring to say another word.

After all, he didn’t want to experience Wu Chengzu’s fist a second time.
