There was a chill on my neck as if a sharp blade was touching my neck...
The man was so frightened that his legs went weak and he almost fell to the ground.
But fear made him dare not really sit down.
He tried to cheer himself up, sweat pouring down his forehead as he explained, "I, I was just passing by. Yes, just passing by."
Qiao Nian supported the knife in his hand and asked lazily again: "I'll give you another chance. Who asked you to follow me?"
The man's legs were shaking like a sieve. He gritted his teeth, not daring to deny it any further, and whispered, "Yes, it's a guest."
“?” Qiao Nian narrowed his eyes.
The man closed his eyes, made up his mind and confessed everything.
"I'm a private detective from the next city. A few days ago, a customer came to our store and offered me a high price to investigate you."
"She only gave me the photo and your address. She didn't even tell me your name. She just said you interfered with her friend's fiancé."
The man cried, "I didn't want to take this job, but the price she offered was too high. So I came to see you... You haven't been out for a few days, and I can't get into the community. Today I finally saw you go out, and I just wanted to take a few photos with you."
"Auntie, I really didn't know I couldn't take photos. Please let me go."
The private investigator's statements were half truths and half lies.
It’s really too much.
He was indeed from the next city, and he had indeed suddenly received a customer's order and came to follow and film Qiao Nian.
But that last sentence is false.
In fact, when he took a bus to Beijing, found the community above the address, and asked around nearby, he found out that the people living in the community were either rich or noble.
He didn't want to offend these people, but when he told the customers about it, they readily doubled the price.
Only then did he bite the bullet and follow up, wanting to secretly take a few photos of Qiao Nian as an explanation.
"You said that I interfered with her friend's fiancé?" Qiao Nian asked him leisurely with a playful look in her eyes.
The private detective was very depressed and wanted to ask: How do I know whether you interfered or not? People said you interfered, but you didn't know it
But people have to bow their heads under the eaves, he sneered: "Guest, that's what the guest said. I don't know if it's true, so I came to follow you and take pictures."
"Tsk." Qiao Nian couldn't help but laugh.
She could tell that the man in front of her was not lying.
This person was not sent by the secluded family, and had nothing to do with Bai Shi Island. It was very likely that he was following me for such a ridiculous reason.
When Qiao Nian thought of this, she loosened her hand and distanced herself from him. She played with the knife in her hand with a nonchalant expression and asked slowly, "What does the guest you are talking about look like?"
After the private detective's narrow escape, he touched his neck with lingering fear. Seeing Qiao Nian still playing with a knife in her hand, he took out his phone and said, "I saved the surveillance footage of her coming to the store."
Qiao Nian took the phone from him and clicked on the surveillance video. She saw a strange woman appearing on the screen. She was quite young and had a face she didn't recognize.
The private detective believed that he had offended someone he shouldn't have and his identity was exposed. In order to avoid being held accountable later, he dared not hide anything and confessed everything.
"That's her."
"She came to me and offered me a seven-figure price to follow you and take some photos of you from the front. She also wanted to see where you like to go, what hobbies you have, and who your friends are..."
