Chapter 462: Chapter 462: Li Xia Under Torture
Nan Qiao sat in Liu Yun’s living room.
Liu Yun personally brought over tea.
“Qiaoqiao, these are pastries my friend just sent over. Try them and see if you like them.”
“Thank you, Auntie.” Nan Qiao accepted the teacup with both hands.
Liu Yun proactively said, “Qiaoqiao, over the years, I’ve always felt restless, with light and little sleep. If it weren’t for relying on these supplements, I fear I wouldn’t have held on.”
Nan Qiao said, “Auntie, let me check your pulse first to see your condition.”
Liu Yun hurriedly extended her hand, placing it on the pillow.
Nan Qiao’s fingertip gently touched Liu Yun’s pulse point, and after a moment, she withdrew it.
Nan Qiao said, “Auntie, I’ll have someone send some medicine over. Take it according to the instructions. Try to keep your spirits high, do whatever makes you happy. Life is precious, and happiness can’t be bought.”
Liu Yun couldn’t help but admire how Nan Qiao at such a young age could see things so clearly.
Actually, Liu Yun had been doing just that lately, living happily.
She watched male models on the runway and joined them for meals when happy.
Beyond that, Liu Yun hadn’t done much.
Liu Yun looked at Nan Qiao with her youthful charm and smiled, “Qiaoqiao, you’re absolutely right! Happiness is most important! From now on, I’ll do the same, happiness can’t be bought.”
Lu Wang’s gaze involuntarily fell on Nan Qiao, captivated by her bright smile, unable to look away.
Nan Qiao noticed Lu Wang’s gaze but pretended she didn’t see it.
“Auntie, I should go. Someone will bring the medicine later, just let the person at the door know.”
Lu Wang: “Nan Qiao, give them my phone number so they can contact me. I’ll go out to take the medicine.”
“Alright.” Nan Qiao stood up.
“I’ll be going now, reach out if you need anything.”
Nan Qiao left, and Lu Wang escorted her out.
…
Huo Siyu returned home.
But she had a tail that she couldn’t shake off.
Huo Siyu walked out of the airport to the taxi stand.
Mo Shaolin kept a short distance behind Huo Siyu.
With quick reflexes, Huo Siyu saw someone just getting into a car, raced over, sat down, and closed the door in one swift motion.
When Mo Shaolin realized and rushed over, the taxi had already driven away.
Mo Shaolin sighed helplessly and asked the driver to pick him up.
Mo Shaolin sat in his own car, looking gloomy and feeling down.
The driver observed Mo Shaolin’s expression through the rearview mirror and hesitated.
Eventually, the driver said, “Young Master, Miss Li Xia has been hospitalized. I heard she was hit and hasn’t been discharged yet.”
Mo Shaolin then realized the driver didn’t know about his situation with Li Xia.
His enthusiasm for Li Xia had long faded.
“Don’t bring up Li Xia again in front of me, I have nothing to do with her.”
The driver felt uneasy, blaming himself for mentioning what shouldn’t have been mentioned.
Mo Shaolin picked up his phone to check the taxi information and found out the taxi’s current direction.
Mo Shaolin gave the driver a direction, telling him to go and catch up with Huo Siyu.
This time, he wouldn’t let go of Huo Siyu!
The car drove for a long time on the highway, finally catching up to the taxi.
Mo Shaolin got out of the car, quickly walked to the taxi, and looked inside, but Huo Siyu was nowhere to be seen.
“Driver, where’s the girl in the black coat?”
“She got off halfway.”
Mo Shaolin didn’t continue the chase; he knew Huo Siyu didn’t want to see him.
Since that was the case, let her rest for a day, and he’d look for her tomorrow.
…
Nan Qiao welcomed Huo Siyu back, noticing she had become much thinner, and quickly stepped forward.
“Si Yu, you’ve lost weight, how did you get so thin?”
“Losing weight is good, just a chance to slim down.”
“You’re already so thin, what more slimming do you need? You’ll be all bones.”
The two of them laughed and chatted as they entered Huo Siyu’s house.
Nan Qiao arranged for a cleaner to tidy up the whole place and prepared a table full of food before letting people leave.
Huo Siyu returned home, took a bath, changed into pajamas, and finally sat down.
“Qiaoqiao, this time I went out, I got two pieces of evidence. Just not sure if they’ll be useful.”
Huo Siyu took out photos and materials from her bag and handed them to Nan Qiao.
Nan Qiao checked and discovered Jiang Linyu and Jiang Ningzhu attended the same technical school.
“This technical school claims to recruit technical talents, but in reality, it’s about comprehensive grooming. It’s heavily guarded; I sneaked in but got out within hours. The girls who stay inside must be selected carefully. I tracked for two days, found someone escorting the girls for social events, maybe even flesh trade.”
Nan Qiao flipped through the materials and found Jiang Linyu was a veteran member at the school.
“Jiang Linyu’s name at this school isn’t her current name,” Huo Siyu continued.
After reading the documents, Nan Qiao was surprised at how deep the waters ran.
“Qiaoqiao, with such deep waters, shaking things up dramatically would be difficult.”
Nan Qiao said calmly, “If it can’t be stirred, let’s not stir for now. Li Tianhong knows Jiang Linyu’s true face now and has imprisoned her. Let’s see what Li Tianhong decides; can he continue loving a woman who betrayed him for twenty years?”
Huo Siyu had another duck roll.
“Now that Jiang Linyu is exposed, you’ve started self-inspections in Jing City’s business circles. Surely, people over there are anxious and will take ruthless measures. Qiaoqiao, make sure to have more people around you.”
“Si Yu, you too. Safety first, don’t be careless. I’ve asked Hou Ze to choose two strong men in combat power to protect your safety.”
“Qiaoqiao, you should keep them yourself. They haven’t discovered me and won’t track me, so no need to worry.”
Nan Qiao got up to wash her hands and sat back down to peel shrimp for Huo Siyu.
“You, be mindful of your safety.”
At this crucial moment, everyone must stay cautious.
Huo Siyu asked, “Is Jiang Ningzhu hospitalized? Did she break her leg?”
“I heard it broke. She’s still lying in bed now. Jiang Linyu’s imprisoned, and Li Ye can’t attend to her. Her days in the hospital are quite tough.”
Naturally, Nan Qiao’s lips curled slightly at the mention.
Li Xia suffered a lot; that made her happy.
Huo Siyu ate some shrimp and then started on ribs.
“Qiaoqiao, I really want to see how much Jiang Ningzhu has suffered.” Huo Siyu laughed aloud.
At this moment, inside the hospital.
Li Xia lay on the hospital bed, her caregiver sitting on a chair playing on the phone, letting out laughs from time to time, bothering Li Xia who couldn’t sleep and was getting restless.
“Can you stop laughing! It’s driving me nuts!”
The caregiver looked up; his features didn’t seem suited for caregiving.
“Bothered? I’ve already turned down the phone volume, you must be just looking for trouble?”
Li Xia yelled, “I’m talking about your laughing!”
“My laughter is natural, if you don’t like it, you can laugh too. You can laugh out loud, I won’t say anything.”
Li Xia: “…”
