Chapter 2785: Chapter 2785: The Secret in His Safe (2)

Meimei stood in front of the bookshelf, entranced, staring blankly at the safe right in front of her that wouldn’t open. She was torn for a long time, unable to think of what the password could be.

"Jiang Nan, you weren’t clear enough. How am I supposed to open this safe?" Meimei paced back and forth anxiously, glancing now and then at the office door, fearing that Dan Tingye might suddenly return.

It was her first time sneaking a peek at someone else’s secrets, and her heart was racing uncontrollably, yet she still didn’t know the password.

"Could it be Auntie’s birthday?" Meimei bit her lip.

Dan Tingye’s most beloved person was Qin Youxuan, and he started learning to take over the group’s affairs at a young age out of filial piety. Maybe he used his mom’s birthday as the password.

Meimei’s eyes lit up, but the next second, she was even more torn.

She couldn’t remember Qin Youxuan’s birthday.

Holding her phone, Meimei felt like an ant on a hot pan inside the office. After a long while, she summoned the courage to send Qin Youxuan a text message, asking for her birthday.

"Beep beep—"

The phone suddenly chimed with a notification, startling Meimei. She quickly reached for it and opened the message.

Seeing Qin Youxuan’s birthday in the message brought joy to her heart. She stepped forward and quickly entered the numbers.

"Incorrect password. You only have one attempt left."

Still wrong!

One last time, one last time... if she got it wrong again, she’d be found out.

Suddenly, footsteps approached from outside, and Meimei’s nerves tightened. She immediately pressed the switch, and the safe was gradually concealed by the bookshelf.

She let out a long breath of relief. Just as she turned around, she saw Yao walking in from outside.

Seeing Meimei still in the CEO’s office, Yao was visibly taken aback.

"Miss Meimei."

"I wasn’t feeling well, so I stayed here a bit longer. I’m heading back to the planning department now." Meimei’s face showed a hint of panic. Meeting Yao’s puzzled gaze, she hurriedly explained, then walked toward the door.

As she reached the door, she paused again, "Mr. Yao, weren’t you out with Tingye? Why are you back? Did something happen?"

"Well..." Yao’s face stiffened for a moment, then he replied, "Just some business matters. The young master sent me back to get some documents. Miss Meimei, there’s nothing to worry about."

"Oh." Meimei nodded obediently.

She wasn’t worried; Dan Tingye could handle any business matters.

With reluctance, Meimei glanced back at the bookshelf’s position and then left.

Without uncovering Dan Tingye’s secret, she lost the mood to return to the planning department, so she texted Jiang Nan, asking for leave, and went back to her apartment alone.

-

Private Villa.

Jiang Nan returned from the group right after getting off work.

Walking into the villa’s living room, he found no one inside, which made him frown.

"Has my brother not returned yet?"

"No, Young Master Jiang Nan, the eldest young master hasn’t returned yet. Dinner is ready; would you like to eat first?" the butler asked respectfully, standing beside him.

Jiang Nan hadn’t been back for several days, and the butler seemed delighted to see him.

"What about Youyou? Has she not returned either?" Jiang Nan scanned the quiet living room, his gaze fixed toward the guest room, and his frown deepened.

The butler hesitated, "Miss Youyou? Has she returned from Germany? I haven’t seen her all day."

"She hasn’t been back all day?" Jiang Nan’s eyes darkened.
