Chapter 828: Caring For Little Sister
Editor: Henyee Translations
Ever since Murong Qiao entrusted the case to him that day, Nan Hao had been especially concerned about this matter.
As a result, dealing with other matters became a secondary order. Once there was any news, he would react immediately.
In fact, Xue Jingyi had not seen him in the law firm for the past few days. For a moment, he thought that Nan Hao had finally figured it out and knew that he should relax.
“I say, you’ve already come over three to four times. In any case, you can t find anything. Why haven’t you given up?”
Even most of the police officers working at the Public Security Bureau recognized Nan Hao because he had been appearing at the police station recently to ask for information on that case.
Ordinary people naturally didn’t have the right. However, because this was a request from Murong Qiao to the law firm with relevant authority and this request was under Xue Jingyi’s name, the police station readily handed the information to Nan Hao.
Nan Hao ignored these words. “I keep feeling that something is missing.
He flipped through the information in front of him. Even though he knew that he had already made a copy at the law firm, he still frowned and analyzed every small detail.
If not for the fact that the man who injured people with a knife was now locked up, he even wanted to apply to meet the other party,
Nan Hao, who had stayed at the Public Security Bureau, had still gained nothing today. He hurriedly returned to the law firm after saying goodbye to the person who had helped him. He saw Xue Jingyi sitting in his seat, looking like he was waiting for him.
“Where did you go? You’re back so late.” As soon as Xue Jingyi saw him enter,
he raised his hand and greeted him.
After hearing his words, he glanced at the sky outside. It was already dusk.
Considering the time, it was indeed a little late.
He walked over and sat down in his seat to take a sip of water. “I went to investigate the commission.”
“Why do I feel that you’re more concerned about this commission than I am?
Xue Jingyi clicked his tongue in wonder.
He didn’t blame Nan Hao for returning so late. After all, in their line of work, they did have to run around every day. It was normal for them not to be at their desk.
However, looking at Nan Hao, Xue Jingyi had some thoughts. Although he didn’t say anything on the surface, he still patted Nan Hao’s shoulder. At the same time, he saw him take out the information he had prepared and took a look.
“Didn’t find anything?”
Xue Jingyi’s efficiency in reading the information was naturally ten lines at a glance. There was no need for Nan Hao to report. He had already roughly understood the situation after flipping through two pages.
In addition, he had handled this commission before, so although he had not touched it for the past few days, Xue Jingyi was well aware.
At the mention of this, Nan Hao immediately looked a little disappointed. He resisted the urge to sigh and nodded.
He was a little unwilling to admit that he was inefficient, but the results today were so obvious. “There’s no progress on the clues for the time being.”
“Other than the day the two of them met and were captured by the surveillance cameras, we haven’t found any other evidence.”
He originally thought that finding the surveillance camera footage would be a breakthrough, but he didn’t expect it to become a bottleneck.
Two days had passed. Seeing that he had gained nothing, he took a deep breath and couldn’t help but lament.
Every time he was a little tired, he couldn’t help but think of his Little Sister and what she was doing at this time.
“Some things can’t be rushed.” Xue Jingyi looked at Nan Hao and comforted him.
Although he said that, from Nan Hao’s different attitude from the previous commissions, the Xue Jingyi still keenly sensed something. However, he looked and didn’t say anything.
Murong Qiao was not in a hurry to ask for the results of the mission.
Although she said that she would bring Fifth Brother and Ruan Ying to lunch, it was already close to dusk when they finished eating. Seeing that the company had just moved to the new location, Murong Qiao decided to get off work early and send a message to Jiang Chi.
Just as she was about to leave the restaurant, she felt a piece of clothing covering her back. It carried a familiar cold fragrance that enveloped her entire body.
“…Ah Chen?” She turned around, not expecting to see Huo Yichen here.
When she came out at noon, the temperature was still a little hot, so Murong Qiao didn’t wear much. Her exposed shoulders were blown by the cold wind, and she needed some clothes to wear.
She tugged at the coat on her shoulder. After seeing who was behind her, she couldn’t help but stand on her tiptoes. After exchanging a light kiss with the person, the corners of her mouth couldn’t help but curve into a smile.
Huo Yichen stood beside her, his broad shoulders blocking half of the cold wind for her.
“I happened to come here to eat and discuss a collaboration. I originally wanted to look for you at your company, but it seems like there’s no need.
He replied casually, then took out his car keys and pointed at his car that was parked not far away. “Let’s go home together?”
“Alright.” Murong Qiao nodded without hesitation.
However, she originally thought that Ye Zhen would be waiting in the car to drive. In the end, when Huo Yichen walked over and opened the passenger door for her, Murong Qiao realized that the car was empty.
The air conditioner in the car was warm. Almost as soon as Murong Qiao entered, she narrowed her eyes comfortably and even felt a little sleepy.
At this moment, the road was busy with traffic. Murong Qiao sat in the front passenger seat and watched as Huo Yichen closed the car door and turned the steering wheel. Then, he stepped on the accelerator and gradually blended into the traffic.
“Didn’t you say that you were coming out to discuss a collaboration today? Why don’t I see Ye Zhen with you?” Seeing that there was no one in the car, Murong Qiao asked.
Huo Yichen turned the steering wheel casually and replied, “I arranged something else for him to do today.”
If Ye Zhen, who had always followed him, disappeared, he must have something more important to be responsible for.
Ye Zhen didn’t know if it was because the President was still talking about his conscientious work performance at the Huo Corporation, but he couldn t help but shrink his shoulders and feel that his surroundings had changed.
Ye Zhen rubbed his nose and looked around in confusion. Then, after discovering nothing, he turned his attention to the serious matter in front of him.
“I need to confirm the pre-selection plan given by the company previously,” he said to Huo Qiuguang in front of him. “Although it’s already been decided previously, it won’t be a problem to confirm it a few more times.”
“If you can, leave the plan in my office. I’ll bring you there.” Even though Huo Qiuguang despised Ye Zhen who was like a lackey to Huo Yichen, he still had to show respect on the surface.
Although he could be considered an uncle and was like Huo Yichen s elder when discussing seniority in the Huo Family, he didn’t have the social graces to treat the President in the company.
Moreover, something had happened to the company recently. In addition, Huo Xiuyuan had slipped back without telling him. The atmosphere was tense, and Huo Qiuguang had to choose to protect himself. Therefore, he had been very honest recently and didn’t even get involved in the dirty tricks he had used in the past.
After he finished speaking, he led Ye Zhen towards his office.
On the way, in order to not make the atmosphere too silent, Huo Qiuguang would talk from time to time..
