"Really? Does Mr. Shaw also have property in Edinburgh? Where?"
"South."
"When did Mr. Xiao buy property there?"
"It was probably more than ten years ago. It was so long ago that I don't remember much."
"Why buy a house in Edinburgh? There doesn't seem to be much room for appreciation there."
Xiao Liangyan smiled and said, "We originally wanted the old man to recuperate there, so we bought two villas. Later, the old man said that he liked Canada better, because it was more spacious and sparsely populated, so the houses there became vacant."
"Mr. Xiao is really filial. Please accept my condolences for the passing of the old man."
The two chatted about some cooperation matters and had a pleasant dinner.
After Xiao Liangyan left, Wen Qiao walked in from the private room next door. Fu Nanli said, "He bought two villas in Edinburgh more than ten years ago."
Wen Qiao took out his computer and said, "Let me check the properties under his name."
"Is it a black system again?"
"What else? Can you convince Xiao Liangyan to confess his home purchase record?"
Fu Nanli raised his eyebrows: "You can be black, if anything goes wrong I will take the blame for you."
"Don't worry, nothing will happen. I was too hasty last night. Since this is your cousin's company, I didn't have so much time to think about it."
The screen went black and she started to check the properties under Xiao Liangyan's name. She found that he was really rich. He had so many properties that she was dazzled. He had properties all over the world. He was indeed a wealthy person in the upper class.
But after much searching, I found that there was no property in Edinburgh, UK.
Wen Qiao looked up the names and ID numbers of his several wives, entered them one by one, and discovered that his previous wife owned two properties in Edinburgh.
Wen Qiao raised an eyebrow. Xiao Liangyan had so many properties, but only the two houses in Edinburgh were registered under his wife's name. This meant that he didn't want people to know that he had a house in Edinburgh, or at least it showed that he felt guilty.
She has no intention of prying into other people's privacy, nor will she expose the secrets that he has carefully kept to the public.
If she hadn't had to, if she hadn't wanted to save her life, she wouldn't have checked these things.
"I already have the address of his house in Edinburgh, and I'm going to fly there in the next two days."
"I'll accompany you."
"are you free?"
"Isn't you my biggest thing?"
The two flew to Edinburgh and went to the area according to the address Wen Qiao found. When the car drove to the vicinity of the villa, Wen Qiao pointed to a villa with a small swimming pool at the door not far away and said, "That house belongs to Xiao Liangyan. I checked and found that he has two properties. This one is occupied and the other one is vacant."
Fu Nanli handed her a telescope: "Yes."
She never imagined that one day, he would be a detective with her.
The two of them were far away, observing the entrance of the villa. They observed for a whole day, and only saw two people who looked like nannies going out to buy groceries, and no one else.
The next morning, the two came again and guarded for another day, but still found nothing.
Wen Qiao wore a baseball cap and sunglasses and got out of the car with Fu Nanli.
This is an open community. There is a cafe outside where two people sit inside drinking coffee.
It was afternoon time and there were few people in the cafe, so it was quite leisurely.
Two foreign waitresses were leaning against the bar and chatting.
"The other day that boy made a big noise here again. He has no manners."
"Well, Asian faces do look like they are uneducated."
"I think his brain is not in good condition. He seems to be out of control."
