“He passed away! He looked like he was only in his thirties. This can’t be true, right?” Although Zhang Rui wasn’t that close to Xu Rui, she had interacted with him many times after all. She felt upset hearing that he had passed away unexpectedly.
“There was a fire at home. Unfortunately, both Xu Rui and his wife died.”
Yin Tao’s words caused Zhang Rui’s mood to plummet. Although she usually looked carefree, she was actually very kind at heart. At the very least, she would actually feel sad when she heard that someone had passed away.
“Secretary Xu was a very good person. That fool Wan Zhe needed Secretary Xu to manage many things. Although Wan Zhe was the boss, he wasn’t as attentive as Secretary Xu.” Zhang Rui recalled many things from the past. Xu Rui had been by Wan Zhe’s side for a long time. When Zhang Rui met Wan The, Xu Rui was his only assistant.
“Do you think Secretary Xu is a good person?” This was the first time Yin Tao had heard the true evaluation of him from someone who knew Xu Rui. She was totally focused now, hoping to find some clues from Zhang Rui’s words.
“Very good. He even sent me home a few times. He was very gentle and smart.
He was meticulous and always organized everything in good order.”
Zhang Rui seemed to have suddenly thought of something and said to Yin Tao, “Moreover, I heard from Wan Zhe that Xu Rui’s memory seemed to be especially good. He had an almost photographic memory. This was also the reason why Wan Zhe chose him as his secretary.”
“His memory was especially good...” Yin Tao frowned slightly. The cause of Xu Rui and Li Man’s deaths was determined to be improper use of electricity by the family, causing an accidental fire.
Yin Tao felt that a person with a photographic memory shouldn ‘t have such a basic problem as misusing electricity.
The cause of Xu Rui’s death was definitely not that simple. The autopsy reports that Feng Jing had shown her were too template. It was as if it was directly copied from a textbook case. There was nothing unique about it, although there was indeed a slight possibility of this.
However, Yin Tao still felt that it was almost impossible for a smart person like Xu Rui to die in such a textbook manner. Even if he couldn’t escape, he wouldn’t simply wait for death on the spot and not try anything to save himself.
“Xiaotao, how did you know about Secretary Xu?’ Zhang Rui felt that as a
forensic doctor, it was impossible for Yin Tao to have any contact with the employees of the Wan Corporation.
“I saw Xu Rui’s daughter in the Children’s Home. That child seems to have some psychological problems,” Yin Tao said.
“Her parents passed away unexpectedly. It’s normal for her to be unable to cope.”
Ever since Zhang Rui was kidnapped by Meng Heng, she was especially sympathetic to those who had encountered such accidents. “Which children’s home is that child in? I can donate some money. His father took care of me when he was alive. I want to do something for her.”
Zhang Rui knew that there was only so much she could do and she might not be able to change anything, but she still wanted to do something within her means, however little it was.
“If you want to, I can find time to bring you to see Xu Rui’s child.” Yin Tao thought of Xu Shan and described to Zhang Rui, “That child is very adorable.
She’s only six years old and is a very obedient little girl.”
“Alright, then find time to bring me along to take a look. I don’t have anything important to do recently. You can contact me anytime.” Zhang Rui was very willing to help. Moreover, she was very happy to be with Yin Tao.
It wasn’t just because Yin Tao was Yin Hao’s younger sister. Zhang Rui felt that Yin Tao had many qualities that attracted her.
Seeing Zhang Rui agree so readily, Yin Tao had a new understanding of her. It seemed that Zhang Rui was still very caring. This was something Yin Tao was very surprised about. Usually, it was difficult for a girl with a family background like Zhang Rui to understand the suffering of others.
For example, Yin Ning had never set her sights on those with poor family backgrounds. In her eyes, those with poor family backgrounds were not worth pitying. She was also unwilling to get close to them. Even Yin Tao, who was a forensic doctor, would only embarrass her.
“Alright, then I’ll call you along the next time I go to the Children’s Home.” Yin Tao was thinking that she should create some opportunities for her brother and Zhang Rui. Although Zhang Rui seemed unreliable sometimes, she was actually a very good girl.
Yin Tao felt that Zhang Rui and Yin Hao were quite compatible in some aspects. At the very least, they treated her well. Yin Tao also hoped that they could find happiness.
Ying Tao had a great time with Zhang Rui. When they parted ways, it was almost time for Yin Tao to meet Feng Jing..
