Chapter 823: It’s Hard to Guard Against an Internal Thief

Editor: Henyee Translations

Ever since Murong Chen asked her what she thought, An Nuo felt that this sentence seemed to have taken root in her mind.

The question was not answered that day. An Nuo had even forgotten how she sent the person out later.

“Let’s retake this in ten minutes. It doesn’t feel right,” the photographer suddenly said, pulling back An Nuo’s wandering thoughts.

An Nuo retracted her posture. “I’m sorry, it’s my problem. I’ll adjust it as soon as possible.”

“It’s fine. Everyone has a day when they’re in a bad state. I understand.” The photographer’s temper was very good.

The main reason was that An Nuo’s performance was usually very strong, and her work never delayed everyone’s time. Therefore, even when she made a rare mistake, no one gossiped.

Everyone had their low period, let alone a big star like An Nuo.

He just didn’t know…

The photographer looked at An Nuo, who had walked to the side to rest, and pondered about the content he had seen online a few days ago.

Could it really be because of that?

An Nuo didn’t notice the gazes that looked at her from time to time. Rest was rest. She sat in her seat and moved her aching limbs, then took a sip of water to replenish her fluids.

Thinking of Murong Qiao saying that Murong Chen might like everything she chose, An Nuo couldn’t help but feel her face heat up.

How was that possible?

She slowly exhaled. Thinking about how she had sent him out without explanation that day, she still felt that it was a little rude.

Indeed, the right answer should be to buy a gift to appease the other party.

Just as she was sitting there in a daze, her manager walked in.

“What’s wrong? I heard from the photographer that you’re not in a good state just now?” The manager sat beside An Nuo as soon as he came over.

An Nuo supported her chin with one hand. “I’ll adjust it later.”

Although she said that, the manager could clearly hear that the other party’s tone was a little distracted.

“I’m not questioning your professional ability.” The manager was not worried about this at all.

An Nuo was simply the most a.s.suring artiste he had ever taught. Although she was a rich young lady, she didn’t have the temper of a rich young lady.

Moreover, she was hardworking and motivated. She was usually more concerned about her work than him, the manager.

“There’s some progress on the investigation. I’ll tell you when you’re done filming.”

The manager looked around. “Coincidentally, with this incident recently, don’t look too happy.”

That way, the originally hesitant fish would take the bait.

An Nuo nodded in agreement and took this matter to heart.

“I remember that after filming this scene, there’s nothing else today, right?” An Nuo suddenly asked.

The manager looked at her. “You’re not going out again, are you?”

“Now, you’re at the center of the storm…”

An Nuo didn’t give her manager a chance to persuade and nag this time. She naturally made up her mind the moment she opened her mouth.

“I’ll go out to buy something tonight. You don’t have to find anyone to accompany me.”

With an additional person following her, it would be easy to be discovered. In addition, An Nuo wanted to buy a gift for Murong Chen, so she naturally didn’t want others to know.

“…As long as you know your limits.”

Seeing that An Nuo had made up her mind, the manager knew that he couldn’t persuade her, so he shook his head helplessly and didn’t know what to say.

An Nuo had made up her mind. Coincidentally, the photographer was ready to film again, so she got up and threw herself into work.

The sky gradually darkened.

No matter how intense the sunlight was, it would eventually be buried under the cover of the tall buildings.

Huo Ya stood at the door of the Finance Department’s office with a doc.u.ment in her hand.

“Huo Ya? Why aren’t you leaving yet?”

A colleague pa.s.sed by and saw her here. He couldn’t help but poke his head out and ask curiously.

Huo Ya’s hand trembled nervously as she held the doc.u.ment. “I-I’m working overtime today.”

Her voice was a little shaky, but it carried a firmness that was difficult for ordinary people to detect.

“You’re still working overtime? You’ve been working late this entire week. You’re working too hard.” The colleague didn’t say anything when he saw this. Huo Ya was Huo Qiuguang’s daughter. Thinking of the other party’s ident.i.ty, there was nothing to be worried about at all. Seeing how she was working overtime and working hard to improve, the colleague immediately had a strange feeling.

The two of them had only exchanged a few words, but Huo Ya’s heart was in her throat.

After answering the other party’s question and watching her colleague’s back disappear at the end of the corridor until she could no longer see him, Huo Ya slowly heaved a sigh of relief.

When there was really no one around, Huo Ya seemed to have made a decision. She took out the key from her pocket and opened the tightly shut door of the office in front of her.

She was very familiar with the decorations here. It was Huo Qiuguang’s office.

However, after the door was pushed open, Huo Ya had no intention of turning on the lights even though it was pitch-black. Instead, she stepped into the darkness and quickly ventured in. Then, she hurriedly closed and locked the door.

Before she could get down to business, her heart was already pounding in her chest, making Huo Ya’s hands and feet turn cold.

Once inside the office, she put down the file she had brought as a cover and walked to the desk, carefully flipping through the doc.u.ments on it.

Unfortunately, such an obvious location was destined to not have what Huo Ya wanted.

Therefore, Huo Ya turned to look at the safe under the table.

The existence of the safe was not hidden. It was just quietly placed there. The pa.s.sword lock on it was enough to ensure its owner a sense of security. Unfortunately, Huo Qiuguang seemed to have forgotten something.

It was difficult to guard against an internal thief.

Huo Ya was very familiar with the safe. When the pa.s.sword was entered, she didn’t hesitate at all.

Or rather, this was not the first time she had visited as a “guest” here.

Then, with a click, the door of the safe opened, revealing a few thin doc.u.ments. Huo Ya took it out and quickly confirmed that the content was exactly what she needed. She took out her phone and quickly turned on the camera to take a few photos.

After everything was done, Huo Ya carefully placed the doc.u.ments back to its original place to prevent it from being discovered to have been moved.

After everything, Huo Ya carefully checked her surroundings. After confirming that she didn’t miss any details, she walked out carefully the way she had just come in.

The moment she returned from the darkness to the light, Huo Ya held the files in her hand before her chest to hide her emotions. She felt as if a heavy burden had been lifted from her shoulders, and a happy smile appeared on her face.

She held the doc.u.ments in her hand and walked out eagerly. Then, she turned into the corridor leading to the emergency exit and took out her phone to send Huo Xiuyuan a message.

[Let’s meet? I have something for you.]

She typed this line with a trembling hand. She was so excited that she pressed a few words wrongly with her fingertips.

However, this didn’t affect Huo Ya’s excitement and antic.i.p.ation at all. She held her cell phone and waited for a reply.

[…Can you send it to me directly?]

The other party only replied after a few minutes.

It was just a few photos. Of course, she could choose to send them over.

However, Huo Ya had not seen Huo Xiuyuan for a long time. She stared at the message sent by the other party and finally replied firmly.

[No, this is very important. We have to meet in person.]

It was good to treat it as her own selfish desires.

Huo Ya recalled the female voice she had heard on the phone last time. Her heart wavered slightly before she comforted herself and calmed down.

The other party seemed to be hesitating, or perhaps it was because the silence revealed a hint of unwillingness, but in the end, he still gave an agreeable

answer..
