Chapter 176 - Investigate Clearly
Chapter 176 Investigate Clearly
Just now, when Nan Xi approached him, he said something. It was precisely that sentence that made him watch helplessly as Xia Luobing left, making him want to chase after her, but his footsteps felt heavy.
Liu Yan’s face turned pale and she took a step back. “What are you talking about? Is it because of Xia Luobing and her mother?”
“I will investigate this matter clearly.”
Dropping these words, Huo Yunqi lifted his foot and left the garden, leaving behind the cold Liu Yan, the pale Xia Luoxin, and the guests who looked at each other.
After leaving the Huo Family villa, Xia Luobing carried Duo Duo into Lin Chen’s car. Looking at her daughter who had been obediently silent, she felt that her heart was so soft that she could pinch out water. She knew that this must be her child.
“Mommy, what’s wrong with you? Why don’t you take Daddy with you?” Duo Duo hugged Xia Luobing’s arm and asked softly, “Daddy is very sad.”
Xia Luobing was stunned for a moment, then patted Duo Duo’s back gently and coaxed, “Mommy will love Duo Duo.”
As for that daddy, since he was already engaged to someone else, he naturally had nothing to do with her daughter.
“Luo Bing, your daughter is very beautiful.” Lin Chen turned around and smiled. He blinked at Duo Duo, who was lying in Xia Luobing’s arms. “You’re Duo Duo, aren’t you? Don’t worry, even if you don’t have a daddy in the future, uncle will still love you!”
Duo Duo looked at Lin Chen and leaned closer towards Xia Luobing’s embrace. It was as if she had seen something terrifying. Lin Chen immediately had a black line on his face. He rubbed his chin dejectedly and turned around. He started the car while looking at the silent South Stream. “Am I that scary?”
Nanxi glanced at Lin Chen and nodded, “Yes.”
Lin Chen said, “…”
The three people who received Duo Duo returned to the villa by the water. After placing Duo Duo, Xia Luo Bing sat on the sofa in the living room in a daze. Her mind was filled with the scene of Huo Yunqi. His eyes were filled with anxiety and sadness, and her heart was filled with sadness just by looking at him.
He was about to get engaged to someone else, so why would he look at her with such a gaze, and why was she so sad?
“Luo Bing, what are you thinking?” Nan Xi handed Xia Luobing a glass of water and sat down opposite her. “You’re not happy.”
He remembered that Xia Luobing always had a thin layer of ice in her eyes when she was unhappy.
“Why would I get divorced?” Xia Luobing looked at Nan Xi doubtfully, “Am I the one who wants a divorce?”
No, no, it must be Yunqi Huo who wants a divorce. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so sad in her heart
She felt as if there was a hole in her body that was bleeding. She wanted to cover the hole with her hand, but she could not find the exact location.
Nanxi was silent for a moment and shook his head, “Sorry, I don’t know.”
He had only just returned home when he discovered that she was in danger and had no time to investigate her previous affairs.
“Don’t mention it.” Xia Luobing shrugged and pretended to laugh indifferently. “I didn’t even ask you what you did? Why did you save me?”
Nan Xi’s heart skipped a beat, and he looked at Charlotte with caution, “Why did you suddenly ask this?”
“Can’t you say it? Forget it.” Xia Luobing smiled. It was as if she had just casually asked, but Nan Xi’s heart was tightly clenched.
It was a necessary quality for a policeman to observe what was said. The look in Charlotte’s eyes when she looked at him just now carried some profound inquiries. Although she was smiling, he knew that she was suspicious.
“Luo Bing, I won’t hurt you.” Nanxi said after a moment of silence.
Xia Luobing was stunned and quickly nodded, “I know.”
A person’s eyes were not deceptive. South Stream had secrets in her eyes, but there was also protection for her, even though she felt that this kind of protection was somewhat inexplicable.
The two of them seemed to have lost their conversation. The afternoon sun shone through the window and fell on the living room floor. There were plenty of lights and shadows, disturbing people’s line of sight.
Perhaps because he felt that getting along like this was too awkward, Nanxi finally couldn’t help but ask, “What are you going to do?”
Xia Luobing looked up and smiled, “I am the captain of the Criminal Police Unit. I must go back to work.”
Ever since she accepted her amnesia, she had used the shortest amount of time to understand her career, family, and feelings. Although her emotional management was a mess, fortunately, her career was still considered a success.
“Luo Bing, have you ever thought of changing your job?” Nanxi said hesitantly, “This job is too dangerous. If something happens to you again, have you ever thought about Duoduo? What about her?”
“Nanxi, I always thought we knew each other before.” Xia Luobing said slowly, “But now I think I’m mistaken.”
Nanxi was stunned for a moment before blurting out, “Why?”
“Because if we knew each other, if you knew me, you wouldn’t ask such a question.” Xia Luobing smiled and said, “Being a policeman has always been my dream.”
Nanxi was stunned for a moment and smiled bitterly, “Yes, we never knew each other before.”
At night, in South Stream’s study, Lin Chen frowned and said, “Did she really say that?”
Nanxi nodded and remained silent for a moment before saying, “Actually, her answer was within my expectations.”
“But what if one day she finds out what you’re doing?” Lin Chen sat on the chair opposite South Stream and tapped his knee uneasily. “She’ll catch you.”
South Stream’s eyes flashed with a wry smile. “I know, no matter who I used to be, as long as we stand against each other, she will definitely catch me.”
“Then you still …” Lin Chen really didn’t know what to say. After a while, he said, “Nan Xi, stop. Take advantage of it and stop. This is good for you and Xia Luobing.”
Nanxi pointed at the cold half of his mask and laughed at himself, “It’s too late. Do you think that person will let me go?”
Lin Chen was stunned for a moment. His usually gentle face was filled with seriousness and killing Xiao Sha. In the end, he could only purse his lips and say, “Don’t worry, you’re not fighting alone.”
Seven years ago, he was chased and framed by someone. Fortunately, Nan Xi saved him, and the two of them became brothers after that.
Nan Xi smiled and said, “Notify him that we can make a deal.”
The noise of the day was completely immersed in the night, but it was destined that many people would not be able to fall asleep this night.
Liu Yan looked in the direction of Huo Yunqi’s study and said hatefully, “What’s so good about this Xia Luobing?”
If it weren’t for Xia Luobing, the Huo Corporation wouldn’t have fallen into Feng Shuo’s hands. If it weren’t for Xia Luobing, Huo Zhengxiong wouldn’t have died early. If it weren’t for Xia Luobing, Huo Yunqi wouldn’t have turned into this state in a near-death situation!
Liu Yan’s heart was very miserable for Xia Luobing, but unfortunately, her son and daughter were not in sync with her.
“Mom, I’ll go upstairs to see Rui Rui first.” Huo Yunxi knew that no matter what he said, it was useless. He did not say much and got up and left the living room.
Last night, she did not understand why her brother had suddenly agreed to get engaged to Xia Luoxin, but the moment she saw Xia Luobing, she thought of what he had said and felt sad.
When did her proud elder brother become so helpless that he actually used such a ridiculous method to get his sister-in-law out?
“Rui Rui, do you think that uncle and aunt are both stupid?” Huo Yunxi hugged his son and kissed him. He took his phone and called Ye Shaochen.
Because QC’s head office was abroad, there had been some problems over there during this period of time. Ye Shaochen rushed over to deal with it. Recently, he had been so busy that his feet did not touch the ground. Only at night could he find time to make a phone call.
“Beep!” A woman was wearing a sleepy voice as soon as Huo Yunxi spoke, “Hello?”
Huo Yunxi was stunned for a moment. He took out his phone and looked at the phone number on it. He was sure that he did not dial the wrong number.
“Who are you? Why are you holding Ye Shaochen’s phone?” Huo Yunxi hugged his son tightly and said coldly, “Where is he?”
The woman suddenly woke up and smiled. “We’re taking a nap. He’s not awake yet.”
Huo Yunxi felt as if there was a little bug crawling around in his heart, and his tone was annoyed, “Put him on the phone immediately!”
She knew Ye Shaochen. He never took a lunch break at the company, and would not let other women hold his phone. But now, everything was too abnormal.
The woman giggled, “Madam Ye, why are you so angry? Men don’t like women who are too strict.”
After saying that, the woman hung up the phone. Huo Yunxi stared at the phone with a livid expression. Just as she was about to dial the phone, she threw it onto the bed hatefully after thinking for a while. She angrily gritted her teeth and said, “Ye Shaochen!”
She trusted him so much that he actually hooked up with other women. It was simply too much!
Ye Shaochen came out of the meeting room and saw the woman waiting in the office. “Juliet, why are you here?” Ye Shaochen was stunned.
“Chen, your meeting took too long. I’ve already fallen asleep!” Juliet flicked her long brown hair and said with a charming gaze, “Long time no see, have you missed me?”
Ye Shaochen endured the goosebumps all over his body and laughed dryly, “Too busy to care.”
Juliet looked at him reproachfully when she heard this. “I’m so sad that you said that.”
“What are you looking for me for?” Ye Shaochen immediately pinched the topic back and sat behind his desk. He looked at his phone and raised his head to ask.
Juliet leaned forward with her hands on the desk in high spirits, revealing a deep career line, “How’s it going? I’m new, much better than that silicone filler!”
Ye Shaochen pursed his lips, his face full of black lines.
Back when he was studying in the United States, he and Juliet lived in the same dormitory. However, at that time, Juliet was a blonde American handsome man. Later on, she found out that he had undergone a sex change operation. Now, looking at the woman in front of him who was full of flirtatious behavior, he knew that the operation should be quite successful.
“What are you looking for me for?” Ye Shaochen repeated his question, hoping to quickly send the person in front of him away.
Juliet had been interested in him when she was still a “man”, but now that she had become an enchanting woman, she appeared in front of him again, which made people feel anxious in their hearts
“I know you’re married, but I still want to pursue you.” Juliet straightened her proud chest and said confidently.
The corner of Ye Shaochen’s mouth twitched as he rejected, “Impossible, I only love my wife.”
“She just called you. I picked up.” Juliet blinked her eyes and threw a charming glance at Ye Shaochen. “She seems to be very angry.”
Ye Shaochen grabbed his phone and looked at it. The call time was 42 seconds, so what Juliet said was true.
“Damn it!” Ye Shaochen glared at Juliet with a cold face. Seeing her cover her heart and take two steps back on the sofa in fear, he called back, “Yunxi, don’t misunderstand, I… hello? Hello?”
