Chapter 3369: Not from Rao City or Beijing

Editor: Atlas Studios

Qiao Nian took the water and realized that it was still warm. She held the cup to warm her hands and lowered her head to take a small sip. A warm feeling flowed through her stomach, dispelling her frustration with Mr. Zhou.

Then, she slowly said in a hoarse voice, “I don’t think it’s that simple.”

“Huh?” Ye Wangchuan closed the window at the side of the corridor to block the wind and looked at the girl with deep eyes, waiting for her to continue.

Qiao Nian rubbed her fingers against the paper cup and looked up to meet his eyes after a while. “The Zhou family followed us when we came back…”

She asked the key question, “Who told them?”

Ye Wangchuan’s eyes flashed. He had already guessed it but did not want to say it directly. “Don’t you know them?”

Nie Qingru.

Just thinking about this name frustrated Qiao Nian. It was as if a haystack was piled up in her chest. It could be ignited at any time and explode into pieces.

Even Cai Gang could sense that something was wrong between the two of them. He interrupted, “Young Master Ye, Miss Qiao. Do you mean there’s someone behind this?”

However, when he investigated Mr. Zhou, he did not find anyone else behind this.

Cai Gang pondered before saying with a responsible attitude, “Why don’t I check further?”

“There’s no need.”

Qiao Nian finished drinking the water and her eyes calmed as she rejected his kindness.

“It’s not someone we can find in Rao City.”

“Someone from Beijing?” Cai Gang wanted to say that if the person was from Beijing, he also had friends there. However, he looked at Ye Wangchuan and silently raised his hand to shut his mouth.

In terms of connections in Beijing, who could compare to this person?

If Miss Qiao wanted to investigate, Master Wang had no reason not to help.

Unless that person was not from Beijing.

That was what he was thinking.

Sure enough.

Qiao Nian paused for two seconds before saying, “Not from Beijing.”

“Then…” Cai Gang was a little confused.

The person wasn’t from Rao City or Beijing. They couldn’t possibly be from Country M like the Zhou family, right?

It would be difficult to investigate if it involved overseas.

At this moment, Qiao Nian stood up and threw the disposable cup into the trash can beside her. Walking elegantly as if she was not bothered by this matter, she said to Cai Gang, “…Officer Cai, I’ll leave the person inside to you.”

“Don’t worry, Miss Qiao.” Cai Gang immediately stood up straight. “When his lawyer comes, I’ll deal with him as I should.”

“Mm.” Qiao Nian knew he had evidence. She fluttered her eyelashes and looked at Cai Gang with her dark eyes. “I have another matter to trouble you with.”

Trouble him…

Cai Gang felt a huge burden on his shoulders. He stole a quick but not obvious glance at the young man, then immediately said, “Miss Qiao, you’re too polite. Just tell me if there’s anything I can help with.”

“The hospital…”

“Ah!”

Cai Gang was wondering what she wanted help with. Seeing it was about the hospital, he immediately interrupted her and said with a smile, “Don’t worry about Uncle Chen and Aunt Chen. I’ll definitely take good care of them. Also, I’ve sent someone to guard at the hospital. They’ll immediately inform me if anything happens.”

After all, Mr. Zhou’s case was still open. Protecting the victim was also in line with the procedure.

Qiao Nian nodded. “Thank you.”

Cai Gang didn’t dare to accept her thanks in front of Ye Wangchuan. He quickly waved his hand and politely said, “Miss Qiao, we’ve known each other for so long. This is only right of me. You don’t have to take it to heart.”
