Chapter 413: Chapter 413: Have you contacted that person?
Li Yehan’s gaze fell entirely on Nan Qiao.
Meeting Nan Qiao’s bright eyes, Li Yehan curled his lips into a mischievous smile: “Then what do you think is the reason I like you and want to be with you?”
“Obviously it’s because when you sleep with me, your sleep quality improves a lot!”
Li Yehan smiled, reaching out to gently pinch Nan Qiao’s tender little face.
“How did you come up with that? You could write a novel.”
Nan Qiao brushed his hand away: “You always try to come to my room every night, and your sleep quality is indeed good.”
Li Yehan pulled Nan Qiao into his arms, his eyes doting: “Yes, whatever my Qiaoqiao says is true.”
Nan Qiao shyly pushed him away: “Li Yehan, aren’t you afraid my family will find out if you come to my room?”
“I’ll be careful not to be seen by your family. If they catch me, they’ll surely throw me out and forbid me from getting close to you.”
Nan Qiao: “You better not come. My big brother hired someone to check the surveillance system tomorrow to make sure the cameras are working properly.”
Li Yehan: “…”
So Bai Jingting is cutting off his escape route on purpose?
Li Yehan hugged Nan Qiao tighter, clearly unwilling to discuss the topic further.
…
Sitting in a wheelchair, Li Xia slowly stood up.
Once steady, Li Xia took a step forward.
Her face lit up with joy, and she exclaimed excitedly, “I can stand! I can walk! This is amazing! Thank you, Master!”
Jiang Linyu also stood by, equally thrilled and happy.
“Master Yang, thank you so much,” Jiang Linyu said with heartfelt gratitude.
An elderly woman sat in a chair, her hair white but her spirit vibrant.
Her eyes shone sharply, as though able to see through all of life’s mysteries.
“Xiaxia, you don’t have to be so polite. You’re my apprentice, and it’s only natural for me to help you.”
Old Mrs. Yang’s tone suddenly shifted, her expression turning stern: “Li Xia, I took you as my apprentice, but you’ve humiliated me and ruined my reputation. You couldn’t even handle something so trivial—absolutely disgraceful.”
Li Xia panicked: “Master, it was Nan Qiao’s sneak attack. I was caught off guard, which is why she got the better of me.”
Jiang Linyu chimed in to defend Li Xia: “Master Yang, it was Nan Qiao who played dirty tricks, which caused Xiaxia to get hurt. Xiaxia’s kind-hearted and straightforward nature is the reason she fell victim to such a scheme.”
Old Mrs. Yang’s expression grew darker before she let out a cold laugh: “Tomorrow, I’ll find a chance to meet this person you’ve told me about. I want to see if she really has three heads and six arms to be so capable.”
Jiang Linyu and Li Xia exchanged glances, their minds filled with joy.
With Old Mrs. Yang stepping in, Nan Qiao would surely be no match!
Fortunately, Old Mrs. Yang was willing to help, allowing them an opportunity to reap the rewards without much effort.
Jiang Linyu thoughtfully said, “Master Yang, I’ve booked a presidential suite for you and arranged for a driver and a maid. Whatever you need, just let them know, and they’ll take care of it.”
Old Mrs. Yang nodded softly.
Jiang Linyu handed her a card: “This is a token of gratitude from Xiaxia and me. That you would come to Jing City for us is a favor we will never forget. It’s a small gesture, but we hope you’ll accept it. The password is your birthday.”
Flattered and pleased, Old Mrs. Yang accepted the card.
“Lin Yu, we’ve been friends for many years. Your matters are mine—of course I’ll help you.”
“Thank you, Master Yang. You truly have a heart of gold.”
Jiang Linyu and Li Xia lavished Old Mrs. Yang with compliments before seeing her off.
The mother and daughter returned to their room, walking non-stop, afraid this newfound ability to stand was all a dream.
“Mom, I can finally walk again. Old Mrs. Yang really is incredible.”
“When you’re around her, always be polite and perceptive. She values her reputation and demands the utmost respect.”
“Don’t worry, Mom. I’ll definitely keep her happy. Right now, she’s the sword in our hands—the sword we’ll use against Nan Qiao. How could I possibly disrespect her?”
They smiled knowingly at each other.
Walking again was an absolute blessing!
“Mom, did you contact that person? Our plans keep failing—what will we do in the future?”
“You don’t need to worry about that. I’ll handle it,” Jiang Linyu said darkly, her mood souring at the topic.
…
News about Du Yongmao quickly made headlines.
Du Qianqian’s family came through, hiring paparazzi to document everything from every angle.
Du Yongmao had no choice but to send the old lady to a hospital.
It was a facility he had arranged in advance—not the one managed by Zheng Qinnian.
Du Qianqian found Nan Qiao and shared the situation with her.
“Nan Qiao, what should we do next? My uncle completely ignores us and sent grandma to a hospital under his control. She’s being guarded twenty-four hours a day, and none of us can get in.”
Du Qianqian grew increasingly agitated as she spoke, unsure of the next steps.
“Don’t worry. As long as it’s a hospital, I can get in,” Nan Qiao assured her confidently, thanks to her extensive connections.
Du Qianqian’s eyes widened in disbelief: “You really think you can get in?”
Nan Qiao laughed: “Don’t forget how I got into your uncle’s villa and managed to meet your grandma. Plus, I planted a bug inside. Everything your uncle says has been recorded—I’ve listened to it all.”
Du Qianqian was stunned speechless. Nan Qiao was unbelievably capable!
Nan Qiao continued, “I’ll hold onto the recordings for now; I’m worried you’ll share them with your parents. Your parents might act impulsively and alert your uncle.”
Du Qianqian nodded repeatedly: “Nan Qiao, you’re absolutely right. You’re amazing—I really admire you!”
“Hold off on admiring me and focus on resolving your family issues first.”
“Nan Qiao, why are you helping me?” Du Qianqian asked curiously.
“Because I want to root out the mastermind behind all of this.”
Nan Qiao didn’t elaborate, and Du Qianqian refrained from pressing further.
She understood Nan Qiao’s sincerity in helping her, and that was enough.
“Du Qianqian, go back and wait for news. I’ll check on your grandma and confirm her condition before making any moves.”
Du Qianqian nodded repeatedly: “Okay, I’ll follow your lead.”
Nan Qiao teased, “You trust me this much? Aren’t you worried I might betray you?”
Du Qianqian made a face: “I have nothing left. If the only thing you could take was money, I’d gladly give it to you if you could save my grandma.”
Du Qianqian adored her grandma, and her grandma loved her dearly.
“Don’t worry—I don’t want your money. Just wait for my news. Your grandma will be fine.”
Du Qianqian thanked Nan Qiao and left.
Nan Qiao walked out of the cafe, and as she strolled down the street, she saw an elderly woman lying on the ground ahead.
The old woman saw Nan Qiao and called out warmly: “Young lady, help me. I’ve fallen and can’t get up. If you’re worried, you can take a video with your phone—I won’t extort you. Please, can you help me up?”
