Chapter 15 It's Her. I Found Her.
Within the first ring of his phone, Mu Yuehan eagerly answered the call, "speak."
Thud! Thud! Thud!
His heart was beating fast in anticipation. It was all ready to come out from his chest. Eagerness could be heard in his voice.
"Boss, my team tried very hard to dig in the records of Miss Zhou but records are completely sealed. Many of them are already destroyed. I don't think we will be able to search about her in a short period." His PI informed.
His PI, Wang Wei was currently in London, investigating Zhou Liying. He was so far away from Shanghai, but still, he was able to feel cold sweat on the back of his neck. He could feel dark vibes emitting from Mu Yuehan on receiving this piece of news.
"We are not able to get information on her but we got her photo and this time it's very clear. Miss Zhou looks ninety per cent similar to miss Nian." He added on a positive note.
The clouds looming around Mu Yuehan immediately cleared and a warm expression appeared on his face. Wang Wei sighed in relief, feeling the change in the surrounding around him.
"I have sent the photo in your…."
"I have already opened my email." Mu Yuehan cut him off and opened the photo on his laptop screen.
A huge grin appeared on the lips of Mu Yuehan when he saw the photo of Zhou Liying on his laptop screen. Tears appeared in his eyes and his heart rate picked up.
He placed his shivering hand on his laptop screen, over the photo of Zhou Liying and caressed it tenderly.
"It's her." He whispered in a hoarse voice.
'It is her. I have found her.' He wanted to scream.
"Take your time and find out about her. I want every information about her. I want to know how she ended up with the Zhou family. I want each detail. Am I clear?" he ordered.
"Yes boss, I will try my best. But it can take time. Maybe a month."
"Take it, I don't care." Mu Yuehan said. "But remember, your bonus will depend upon the time taken by you."
Wang Wei scratched his head in dejection. He may be a great investigator but this time, the party against him was Zhou Liying. Zhou Liying's powers were no less in comparison to that of Mu Yuehan. That was why he was not able to investigate her.
"Ok boss, I will try." Wang Wei then added. "There is one thing boss, I have heard Miss Zhou doesn't want to return to Shanghai. I am not sure if it's true or not."
"I have a way to bring her back. You don't have to worry about that." And with that Mu Yuehan ended the call.
Mu Yuehan dragged his laptop closer and started to ogle at the photo of Zhou Liying. His eyes were shining with happiness and there was a large smile on his lips. His heart which was dead for so long was feeling alive.
He zoomed the photo and looked at it in detail.
Zhou Liying was wearing office attire, a black pencil skirt with a white blouse and a black blazer. There was a tablet in her hand and she was looking straight at the camera.
Her eyes were looking at the camera like a hawk. Her eyes were dark like before but Mu Yuehan could feel they lacked their old innocence and warmth. They were filled with shrewdness and experience.
Her body posture was poised and he could feel that her aura was similar to his.
Her photo was screaming a businesswoman!
"Impressive very impressive. So, my TianTian has changed. I am sure she is more lovely than before." He grinned and covered his lips to control his happy laughter.
He wanted to laugh, he wanted to shout. He wanted to jump around in his office like a crazy monkey!
He closed his eyes and threw his head back against his chair, still smiling widely. He started to take deep breaths to control his emotions, already planning what to do to call her back to the country and what he would do once she was back.
Mu Yuehan pressed the bell and called Li Tao into his office.
Li Tao nervously entered his office, already imagining many negative scenarios in his mind. He visibly sighed when he saw a happy Mu Yuehan.
"There is good news Li Tao. I have found her. I am feeling so happy." Mu Yuehan grinned.
Li Tao was in awe stuck when he saw a grinning Mu Yuehan. It was the first time! He had seen smiles on the face of Mu Yuehan but they were always villainous or without any emotion but this time it was a real smile.
His eyes were shining and he truly looked happy.
"I want to share my happiness with my employees and that's why I have decided to give you all four days of paid break, including weekends. You all go and enjoy your holiday." Mu Yuehan announced with happiness.
"Including me, boss?" Li Tao asked with anticipation.
"Yes, including you."
Happy tears appeared in his eyes when he heard his boss. His heart started to beat fast with happiness. It was the first time; he was getting paid holiday.
"Thank you, boss. Thank you so very much." His voice was hoarse and heavy. He placed his hands in front of his chest, looking grateful.
Mu Yuehan smiled upon seeing his assistant. He knew he made Li Tao work twenty-four seven, without a break. He needed this break.
"Now go and announce this good news to everyone."
Li Tao bowed to Mu Yuehan and quickly rushed out of the office of Mu Yuehan.
Without waiting for any second, he typed a notice on the official forum of Mu corporation about the paid leave. He also sent a message about the same on the company's WeChat account.
Then he hurriedly started to pack his stuff. He was afraid that Mu Yuehan would change his mind, cancelling his paid leave.
