Chapter 630: That Moment of Distance

Translator: Henyee Translations | Editor: Henyee Translations

To Nan Hao, a rare opportunity to help his Little Sister was now in his hands.

He had to do his best to complete this matter perfectly.

“According to the statistics, such a large sum of money is enough to let her be sentenced to prison for a few years.”

Nan Hao drew out the conditions he emphasized and looked up at Xue Jingyi. “Senior, according to the impact of her words and actions on the Internet, we can actually investigate further…”

He read the results of his efforts to Xue Jingyi. At the same time, he wanted to know the other party’s opinion on this matter.

Since it was someone his Little Sister wanted to sue, Nan Hao naturally followed the directions that were beneficial to Murong Qiao.

“It depends on how the company wants to resolve it.” Xue Jingyi was so hungry that he found a sandwich in the takeout and opened it to take a bite.

Xue Jingyi thought for a while before giving Nan Hao an answer. “The verdict

will definitely be pa.s.sed. At that time, she won’t be able to escape from jail. It

depends on the att.i.tude of both sides.”

“But—”

Thinking of the time when he went to Zheng Yue’s house and couldn’t find her at all, Xue Jingyi came to a conclusion based on his experience in these cases.

“It’s not difficult.”

Actually, if not for the sake of efficiency, this mission regarding Zheng Yue could have been handed over to the others in the law firm.

Xue Jingyi’s request to take it was to bring Nan Hao to train.

However, after a few days, Xue Jingyi realized that Nan Hao didn’t need him to take care of him at all. Nan Hao was busy working alone, checking information and going to the company. He was simply more of a social animal than a social animal.

Even Luo Wanbai felt that Nan Hao’s face was becoming a little familiar. The security officers of CG also wouldn’t stop him from interrogating the staff every time he came over.

“Hey, the handsome man is here again.” The two young ladies were muttering in the pantry, their gazes still fixed in the direction of Luo Wanbai’s office.

in the office, Nan Hao was chatting with Luo Wanbai. His side profile looked a little youthful through the gla.s.s. The inexperience of university and the calmness condensed after an internship blended perfectly, forming a subtle aura that attracted the attention of many people.

The other girl also sighed and casually stirred the coffee in her hand. “How many times has it been? I didn’t even count after that.

“However, I feel that he comes to the company every other day. Do you think he’s really with one of our girls…”

There was no need to say anything else.

There was also a lot of similar gossip in the company. Nan Hao didn’t know about this and was focused on Zheng Yue’s lawsuit.

“That’s all for now. If there’s no problem, we’ll begin the procedure.” Nan Hao took the plan that Xue Jingyi finally agreed to and handed it to Luo Wanbai.

With the outcome, Luo Wanbai’s frown finally relaxed.

■Til hand this matter to the boss. You’ve worked hard recently.”

Luo Wanbai was also friendly to Nan Hao. Not to mention anything else, she

had always seen Nan Hao’s efforts.

When Nan Hao saw this, he didn’t disturb her anymore and stood up to leave. However, after bidding farewell to Luo Wanbai, Nan Hao walked very slowly. He had been pretending to take out his phone casually and held it in his hand, pretending to reply to the message, but in fact, he was looking around, looking for the person he wanted to see.

He had come to the company many times. Under the professionalism and diligence of work, there was actually Nan Hao’s own selfishness.

But even when he reached the first floor and reached the front desk, he didn’t see Murong Qiao.

“Are you done?” The security officers greeted Nan Hao very naturally. They were already considered familiar with him.

Nan Hao nodded absent-mindedly. At this moment, he had already put his phone back into his pocket.

The ride he had booked on the taxi app was waiting for him at the intersection not far from the company’s entrance, but Nan Hao turned around every few steps.

After the commission was over, there was no reason for him to come here anymore.

However, he had yet to see the person he wanted to see.

After Nan Hao took a few glances, he finally decided to take the car back to the law firm.

But just as he was about to get into the car, a black car suddenly appeared in

his vision.

The car stopped at the door in an instant. Then, Nan Hao stared unbhnkingly and saw Murong Qiao get out of the car.

Half of Nan Hao’s body was already in the car. Just as he was about to leave, he couldn’t help but turn around. The moment he saw Murong Qiao, he rushed out without thinking.

He ran in a hurry. He did not even care about his cell phone and bag as he ran out. With the sound of the wind blowing past his ears, he stared intently at her back, afraid that she would disappear in the blink of an eye.

“Hey! Guest, where are you going?” The driver behind shouted. However, Nan Hao didn’t have the time to reply to the driver. All he could see was Murong Qiao’s back as he walked towards the company.

The distance between the two of them was shrinking bit by bit. Nan Hao couldn’t care less about the person he almost knocked down and hurriedly apologized before chasing after her.

“What are you—” Has something been left behind?

The security officer watched as Nan Hao rushed back. Before he could finish speaking, he saw Nan Hao flash past him.

But in the end, he couldn’t catch up.

The moment the elevator door closed, Nan Hao felt that that moment was so long. When he ran to the elevator door, he could only watch as the number on the elevator on the screen kept rising.

“Huff… Huff…” He panted heavily and raised his hand to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

It was clearly just a little short.

Just a little.

Nan Hao hammered the smooth wall beside him unwillingly, but he only felt the numbness in his arm and the unwillingness in his heart.

However, the temporary identification doc.u.ment that Luo Wanbai had given him didn’t allow him the authority to go to Murong Qiao’s floor.

Nan Hao could only return to the law firm in a daze.

In the end, he had just come out of school. Nan Hao had yet to experience the beatings of society and didn’t know how to hide his thoughts and emotions. Therefore, when he went back, the sharp-eyed Xue Jingyi saw that something was wrong.

“Huh?” Xue Jingyi noticed Nan Hao. “Didn’t you go to deliver the results? Why are you back like this?”

-Did you fall out of love or break up? You look so pitiful,” he asked Nan Hao. Nan Hao only shook his head and returned to his seat without moving.

Xue Jingyi felt that something was wrong.

This child had always been full of energy. After coming to the law firm, he was diligent, serious, and studious. There had never been any problems.

Xue Jingyi had already planned to recruit him as his subordinate to nurture him and develop his career. Now that he seemed to have a psychological problem, he definitely had to take it seriously.

Seeing that Nan Hao seemed to be immersed in his emotions, Xue Jingyi stood up and went out to call Luo Wanbai to ask about Nan Hao’s performance today. “It’s quite good. There’s nothing much. I’ve already handed the results to the boss.”

However, Luo Wanbai’s words revealed useful information.

After Xue Jingyi hung up the phone, he pondered for a long time. Looking at Nan Hao’s disappointed expression, he felt that the breakthrough was still with Nan Hao.

Could it be that he had been under too much pressure recently?

Recently, Nan Hao had indeed been quite concerned about the commission. -If you’re unwilling to say, then don’t.” Xue Jingyi showed enough understanding.

Then, he persuaded Nan Hao in a very experienced tone, “The pressure is a little high now. It’ll be fine when you become a lawyer in the future. At that time, you’ll be like me…”

Nan Hao said, “No need.”

“I… I’m fine. I’ll be fine later.”

It was just that he didn’t manage to catch up to her just now.

Nan Hao muttered in his heart and couldn’t help but recall the scene at the entrance of CG. Then, he felt that he was too slow.

However, when he recalled how his Little Sister was dressed brightly and looked very impressive, Nan Hao was not too worried.

He knew that the Murong Family was very powerful, and he also knew that his Little Sister was very strong, be it in her life or career.

On the other hand, he seemed to be nothing now..
