Chapter 72 Name
At noon, Lin Jue woke up from his practice, and the fire in his eyes slowly faded away.

It seems that there will be no plot today, so he plans to do something that interests him.

He took out Fu Yu's diary again and turned to the entry dated June 3rd.

Li Mingcheng, Human Resources Director of Corning Technology Co., Ltd.

He planned to go to the place recorded here to look for this person named Li Mingcheng and confirm whether this person was still alive.

If he has an interest, he will do it. He has always been a person with strong execution ability.

As soon as he reached the corridor, he saw a completely unfamiliar face walking down from the third floor. It was a young man with colorfully dyed hair and a decadent look. There was a red spot around the corner of his mouth, as if it had been wrapped with tape before.

What is even more striking is that there is a circle of dark purple marks on the man's neck.

This should be the resident of Room 6.

As soon as the young man saw Lin Jue, he stopped immediately, turned around hurriedly, and ran upstairs.

"Does my face look that scary? The salesman in Room 5 looked at me like he saw a ghost, and now this guy in Room 6 is the same."

Lin Jue stared at the guy's back with some suspicion. Are all young people nowadays prone to self-harm? Could that mumbling sound I overheard outside yesterday be this guy hanging himself and gasping for air?
After walking down the stairs, Lin Jue walked all the way out to Yangtao Street before he found the bus stop.

……

Sanjiang Dongcheng District, Corning Technology Co., Ltd.

"You're looking for Mr. Li? Which Mr. Li?"

The receptionist at the company's front desk looked at the middle-aged man in front of him with a puzzled look. The man had a round face and stubble on his chin. He introduced himself as someone from a moving company and came to see Director Li.

Before coming here, Lin Jue had already switched to the role of Fang Hao. After all, Fu Yu's face was too scary. He might be interrogated as a criminal while walking on the street. If they found something during the investigation, he might have to go to jail.

He had already thought of an excuse, saying that he was from a moving company and came to Li Yucheng to discuss moving matters.

Coincidentally, in the previous script, he left a moving company's business card that could be used as a prop.

Handing over the business card, Lin Jue said, "It's Mr. Li. I can't remember the specific name."

"He contacted me before saying he was moving, but several days have passed and there's been no news. I can't even get in touch with him."

"He left me the address of this company, but I couldn't contact him, so I had no choice but to come here to find him."

"At that time, he transferred a deposit to me, and then I couldn't contact him anymore. Can you tell me what happened?"

"Even if the business fails, I have to return the deposit. I have always been honest in my work."

The receptionist took the card and took a look. It was indeed a moving company. She handed it back and said, "But we don't have a Mr. Li here. We did have one before, but he was laid off more than three months ago."

"He was laid off more than three months ago?" Lin Jue suddenly remembered that when the landlord introduced Lao Li, he said that Lao Li used to be an executive of a company, but he had fallen on hard times.

He also has the surname Li and has held a senior position at the same company. Could it be that Li Mingcheng is the same Old Li? "No way," he said, feigning surprise. "But he told me last week that he was the HR director at this company. Could there be a mistake? Do you have a photo? I'd like to see if you're talking about the same person as me."

He had deliberately said that he had forgotten the name because he wanted to see a photo of Li Mingcheng.

The receptionist felt something was strange, but Lin Jue spoke very quickly and urgently, one sentence after another, leaving her no room to think.

Guided by Lin Jue's words, she didn't have too many doubts. She took out her phone and found a photo that should have been from the company's team building. She pointed at one of the middle-aged men and said, "This is the Mr. Li I was talking about."

In the photo, the middle-aged man is none other than Old Li who lives in Room 1!

Li Mingcheng in the photo has a rosy complexion and looks high-spirited, which is a far cry from the decadent old Li in Room 1 in reality. Who would have thought that in just three months, a company executive would fall into such a state.

"That's him! That's him!" Lin Jue was very surprised, as if he had finally found a missing person. "When I met him before, he said he was going to be promoted at the end of the year. How come he was suddenly laid off?"

This was of course just a random lie. The simple receptionist in front of him looked easy to fool, and he could probably get a lot of information out of her.

"Him? He still wants a promotion?" The person who took over curled his lips in disdain. "It's a good thing this guy didn't go to jail."

"What's going on?" Lin Jue grabbed a handful of melon seeds from the plate on the front desk counter without any politeness.

"This guy was a workplace bully, forcing all the dirty work on an intern and constantly verbally abusing him. He drove him so depressed that he slashed his wrists at home."

"The matter got out of hand. The intern's family came to the company and made a scene. In the end, the company paid over a million yuan in compensation, and the matter was finally settled."

"Brother, tell me, other interns lost their lives, but this guy was just laid off by the company. Who can you go to for justice?"

The receptionist spoke with gritted teeth, as if if Li Mingcheng dared to appear in front of her now, he would definitely be grabbed by the hair and beaten severely.

Lin Jue listened silently. It turned out that this was the reason why Li Mingcheng was laid off.

Then what is the meaning of Fu Yu writing his name in the diary?

He originally thought that it was a call from the King of Hell, and after writing down the name, Fu Yu would take action against that person, but Li Mingcheng is still living safely in Room 1.

Moreover, the name that appeared in the diary lived in the same building as Fu Yu. Was this just a coincidence?

If Li Mingcheng is in the building, are the other residents also the same names in Fu Yu's diary?

Lin Jue grabbed another handful of melon seeds and put them in his pocket. He imitated the front desk girl and said with hatred, "I didn't expect this guy to be so abominable. I won't return his deposit! He's even moving house! People like him deserve to sleep in a doghouse and eat pig food!"

"Right, right, right!" The little girl nodded hurriedly as if she had found a soulmate. Just as she was about to continue speaking, she was startled the next second and looked at Lin Jue with a questioning look: "That's not right, it's absolutely not right!"

"Brother, you said Li Mingcheng left you the company address before. Why did he leave the company address when he was moving?"

"Well, I remembered I haven't locked my shared bike yet. I'll go check it to make sure someone doesn't take it away."

Lin Jue coughed lightly and left as if nothing had happened. The receptionist was not slow to react, and he was about to ask her some more questions.
