Chapter 821: She Has Plenty of Patience

Editor: Henyee Translations

Xue Jingyi’s law firm had always been famous for its efficiency.

Therefore, after Murong Qiao called that day, two days later, Xue Jingyi arranged to meet Murong Qiao.

Murong Qiao was naturally quite concerned about this matter, so after learning that there was some progress, she went straight to the law firm.

However… she never thought that the person who would receive her would be

Nan Hao.

“h.e.l.lo, because Senior has something on at the last minute, I’m in charge of reporting the progress of the investigation.”

Nan Hao sat opposite Murong Qiao nervously and tried his best to appear calm.

In fact, he had also taken on this matter at the last minute. He didn’t expect to suddenly meet the other party.

10 minutes before Murong Qiao arrived, Xue Jingyi had already prepared the materials and related content and was waiting for her to come. In the end, Nan Hao saw him answer a call at the last minute and left in a hurry without a word. Fortunately, Nan Hao was also partly responsible for this case, so he wouldn’t let Murong Qiao come here for nothing.

It had been a few months since the last time they met.

Nan Hao had changed so much that Murong Qiao almost didn’t recognize him

at first glance.

His figure was like a growing tree that grew tall and straight under the sunlight. His originally childish face had completely faded when they met this time, and he looked calm.

“It’s fine.” Murong Qiao nodded as usual. “Just say it. I’ll listen.

Nan Hao waited for her to finish speaking as he prepared the files. He placed the information Xue Jingyi had given him in front of Murong Qiao one by one.

This was also the result of their investigation during this period of time.

“According to the relevant ideas you provided, we’ve also investigated this matter to a certain extent…”

Fortunately, when they talked about serious matters, Nan Hao quickly got into character.

Ever since he found out from Xue Jingyi that it was Murong Qiao’s request, Nan

Hao was more concerned about this matter than anyone else.

He took out a few photos. “This is the evidence we found through checking the surveillance cameras.”

When Murong Qiao heard him say this, she immediately perked up and reached out to bring the photo in front of her.

The quality of the surveillance cameras was not very good, so the photos didn’t look especially clear.

Fortunately, the characteristics of the two people on it were very obvious. The moment Murong Qiao saw the red dress, she could tell Jiang Weiyang’s ident.i.ty from this ostentatiousness.

In the photo, Jiang Weiyang was sitting in a corner of the table. The man sitting opposite her was dressed in black, giving off a very oppressive feeling.

The moment Murong Qiao saw the other party, she recognized that this was the man who had stabbed her Third Brother the other day.

■’Five days before the incident, following Jiang Weiyang’s movements, we realized that these two people had met before,” Nan Hao reported word by word.

Nan Hao was the one who found this surveillance footage, so he was very familiar with the situation.

“We also found a transfer of 500,000 yuan to his account.” Nan Hao then took out another piece of evidence. “The rest is not conclusive enough. In addition, Jiang Weiyang didn’t reveal much. This is all we have at the moment.”

At the end, Nan Hao’s tone lowered.

Although he had been busy with this matter for the past few days, after saying this, Nan Hao still regretted not doing enough.

Murong Qiao’s expression was cold and she didn’t say anything.

Anyone with discerning eyes could tell that the information in her hand was enough to point out that Jiang Weiyang was a suspect.

However, this was not enough to nail the other party.

Although the Jiang family was not as good as the Murong family, Murong Qiao regained her patience when she thought of Jiang Weiyang’s brother who doted on her.

“Continue investigating. Send me a copy of these. Murong Qiao placed the photos back on the table.

As long as it was someone who hurt her Third Brother, she had the patience to take revenge.

Then, the two of them discussed the other existing evidence.

Murong Qiao glanced at the time on her phone. Nan Hao, who was sitting opposite her, saw her actions and immediately stopped talking.

“I still have something on in the afternoon, so I’ll leave first.” Murong Qiao picked up her coat and stood up, preparing to leave.

Nan Hao subconsciously stood up and followed behind the other party. “I’ll send you off.”

Just now, he was so focused on talking about the case that he forgot to ask the other party how she had been recently.

But if he asked, it might really be awkward…

Nan Hao lowered his head gloomily and could only see Murong Qiao walking out. He wanted to ask her to stay, but he opened his mouth and didn’t know what to say.

The two of them walked in silence for a distance. When Murong Qiao reached the door and was about to take a taxi away, Nan Hao finally couldn’t help but speak.

“That—”

Hearing a voice behind her, Murong Qiao turned around and saw that Nan Hao seemed to be a little embarra.s.sed.

This appearance was a little similar to what she had seen in university.

“Can we exchange contact details?” Nan Hao finally said.

He mustered his courage and handed his phone to Murong Qiao. “I’m in charge of this case. I can tell you immediately if there’s any news, as well as the evidence.”

“Of course, it’s fine if you don’t want to…”

As if he felt that he was too abrupt, or as if he was thinking about the past, Nan Hao added after saying this.

However, it was difficult to hide the disappointment on his face, but Nan Hao didn’t take back the phone he handed out.

“Sure.” Murong Qiao didn’t think much of it.

Unlike Nan Hao, she was as calm as a lake. Even if she saw the Nan family again, she didn’t think much of it.

With a ding, the two of them exchanged contact details.

Murong Qiao added a contact note for the other party and put the phone back in her pocket.

At this moment, the car slowly arrived in front of them. Murong Qiao opened the car door and got in before disappearing from Nan Hao’s sight.

However, even such a cold farewell was not enough to dispel the joy in Nan Hao’s heart.

Fortunately, Murong Qiao had already left in the car. Otherwise, she would definitely have seen Nan Hao standing on the spot with a silly smile on his face.

While Nan Hao was standing at the door, Xue Jingyi, who had just gone out, happened to return.

“What are you smiling about? Did something good happen?” Xue Jingyi saw Nan Hao reveal a rare smile and went up to put his arm around his shoulder.

Nan Hao was woken up by him. “Nothing.”

“You won’t tell me?” Xue Jingyi laughed at him.

Fortunately, he didn’t have the habit of asking until the end out of curiosity. Seeing that Nan Hao wasn’t going to say anything, he simply changed the topic.

“How’s the matter I asked you to do before I left?” Xue Jingyi still valued Murong Qiao’s request very much.

It was not that the nature of the commission was serious, but the other party s ident.i.ty was very important.

There was no mistake in building a good relationship with the Murong Family. Nan Hao naturally replied honestly and repeated what had just happened to Xue Jingyi.

“Alright, you can also take charge now.”

Xue Jingyi was naturally at ease with Nan Hao, whom he had groomed single-handedly.

“Coincidentally, you’ll be in charge of this commission later.

As Xue Jingyi spoke, he returned to his seat and moved all the information he had investigated to Nan Hao.

This could be said to have added insult to injury to Nan Hao’s already crowded table. Fortunately, it had not completely collapsed.

He clapped his hands. “I’ve got a new case to look at here..”
