Qiao Nian only felt a tingling and numb sensation on the back of her neck where her hair had touched her, and then she heard a deep male voice coming from above her head.
"Nian Nian, turn back."
"Well?"
Qiao Nian subconsciously looked in his direction.
I haven't seen it clearly yet.
There is an extra candy in my mouth.
Ye Wangchuan fed the orange candy into her mouth, pressed his fingertips on her lips, then curled up his index finger, turned on the hair dryer to the lowest setting of slightly warm wind, and gently blew her hair.
Behind me I heard the sound of a hair dryer.
The warm breeze made Qiao Nian drowsy.
She took the fruit candy in her mouth and bit it with a "crunch". The sweet and sour taste of the orange candy instantly exploded in the buds and filled her mouth.
Qiao Nian squinted her eyes comfortably and suddenly said, "I plan to visit Zhou Xuxing tomorrow."
Ye Wangchuan held her silky black hair in his hands, paused for a moment, then continued: "It's useless for you to go."
"The FBI will not let him reveal the contents of the investigation. If he tells you about the investigation, the FBI can use it as a handle to smear him and prove that he stole secrets."
"Yeah." Qiao Nian said nonchalantly, "I wasn't looking for him originally. I just happened to be on the way there. I had other purposes in looking for him."
Ye Wangchuan narrowed his eyes.
Without him asking, Qiao Nian started chatting with him, "We were attacked and splashed with water when we left the airport today. I arrested him later and the airport security sent him to the police station. I just received a message from Michelle while I was taking a shower. He said the police station had interrogated the man. He was just a homeless man nearby. He said someone found him and gave him $1,000 to do this."
"I was just thinking, we have just arrived in Country M for a few minutes, and those people can't help but take action. What if I go to see Zhou Xuxing?"
There was a frosted blade in Qiao Nian's eyes, but the edge was hidden in the vast night.
"If I lure the snake out of its hole..."
Before she could finish her words, her left wrist was suddenly grabbed by someone powerfully, holding it tightly like an iron hoop, preventing her from moving.
"I go."
"?" Qiao Nian met those sharp black eyes and was still distracted.
Ye Wangchuan emphasized again.
"I'll go. You stay here and don't take any risks. I'll find the person you're looking for for you."
Qiao Nian subconsciously wanted to refute.
She turned her head and opened her mouth, but before she could say anything, the wanton man lowered his head and approached, magnifying his facial features infinitely, and suddenly pecked and kissed her on the lips.
Then came the intoxicating whisper: "Listen to me."
*
The next day.
Qiao Nian brought Liang Feng and the legal team to meet at Michelle's law firm.
Liang Feng was accompanied by people from the Zhou family.
As the backbone of the Zhou family, Mrs. Zhou naturally came along, and Zhou's father and mother also came, both of them brought an unexpected person with them.
—Dai Jiaqi.
Dai Jiaqi came to Michelle's studio. After seeing Qiao Nian, she looked back unconsciously, as if she was looking for someone.
When she found that no one appeared behind Qiao Nian, she couldn't hide her disappointment and withdrew her gaze. She bit her lip again and lowered her head to try to hide her unwillingness.
Qiao Nian ignored her and walked over to talk to the Zhou family.
"Michelle is waiting for you inside."
"sorry to bother you."
Old Mrs. Zhou began to express her gratitude.
Father Zhou also looked at her with gratitude.
Only Zhou's mother had flickering eyes and dared not look at anyone. She was still immersed in the ruthless rejection behind her and felt extremely embarrassed.
Qiao Nian stepped aside to make way: "Go in."
