Chapter 189: Chapter 182: Wu Xirui Pursues Qiao Jing
It wasn’t strange for him to guess such a thing. Wen Binbin had just called, and then Qiao Jing brought this up with him. If it wasn’t related, it would be too much of a coincidence.
Qiao Jing nodded her head, not hiding anything from Zhan Qipei.
Zhan Qipei raised his hand to his chin, “How did Wen Binbin find out?”
Qiao Jing frowned. Wen Binbin’s identity was not sothing she could reveal carelessly, she hadn’t even ntioned it to Lin Xiuxiang.
Speaking of which, Wen Binbin had once pursued Lin Xiuxiang, but at that ti he had already ballooned into a ball, and Lin Xiuxiang certainly didn’t like fat n.
“Alright, I won’t ask,” Zhan Qipei said, seeing that Qiao Jing was reluctant to talk, and didn’t press further.
“However, I do have another question.”
This question was of more interest to Zhan Qipei than the previous one.
“The fact that the Qian Family has properties in the M country, why didn’t you tell Xu Moqian but told instead? Is it because you don’t want the ‘nutrients’ to flow into others’ fields?”
Thinking it might be that reason, a clear look of pleasure appeared in Zhan Qipei’s eyes and brows.
Qiao Jing looked at Zhan Qipei speechlessly, “You really have a wild imagination. It’s just the principle of proximity, alright?”
If Xu Moqian were next to her right now, she would definitely tell Xu Moqian, it was that simple.
Hearing this answer, Zhan Qipei was initially planning to be unhappy, but then he thought better of it. It wasn’t worth upsetting himself over.
“No matter what you say, that’s what I think,” he maintained his happy deanor while looking at Qiao Jing with a smile.
Qiao Jing “…”
“I’ve seen people with thick skins, but I’ve never seen anyone with a skin as thick as yours,” she retorted.
Zhan Qipei felt even better, “That just ans I’m special in your eyes.”
Qiao Jing looked at the handso face before her, and she had to admit that if it wasn’t for his exceptional good looks, she would have hit him already.
The next morning, Zhan Qipei received a ssage from an undercover agent.
“Boss, the father and son of the Qian Family were killed after their jailbreak?”
“Who did it?” Zhan Qipei’s brows furrowed, suddenly thinking of the phone call Qiao Jing received the previous night.
“No one saw it, but judging from the wounds on their bodies, it’s very likely to have been the work of Leng Qing,” Tang Yan analyzed.
“Leng Qing? The top assassin of the alliance?” Zhan Qipei’s pupils slightly dilated, showing a touch of shock.
“It’s just a guess, not too certain. But there’s a high probability,” Tang Yan replied.
Zhan Qipei walked over to the window, his gaze falling on Qiao Jing who was exercising below.
Could Wen Binbin really be the top assassin of the alliance, Leng Qing?
His wife had connections so wide even he felt inferior.
But—
Zhan Qipei thought about Wen Binbin’s physique. Would that two hundred pound figure really belong to the almost 100% successful top assassin of the alliance, Leng Qing?
Zhan Qipei imagined Wen Binbin taking on a mission in his mind, and no matter how he thought about it, the scene seed odd with that bulky figure.
While thinking, Zhan Qipei noticed that Qiao Jing stopped exercising and started walking towards the outside of the apartnt.
“Where are you going?”
Hearing Zhan Qipei call her, Qiao Jing looked up.
“I’m going out for a walk.”
“You still have injuries on your body.”
“I know, I’m just strolling around casually.”
“I’ll accompany you,” Zhan Qipei said and imdiately ca down.
Tang Yan chased after him, “Boss, you have a business trip scheduled for today!”
Speaking of coincidences, Zhan Qipei had already planned his itinerary for the next few days, and it just so happened he was going to the M country. He could take the opportunity to acquire the Qian Family’s properties.
“Postpone the schedule; I’m going for a walk with her,” Zhan Qipei said this seriously, without a hint of joking.
Tang Yan opened his mouth as if he wanted to persuade Zhan Qipei, but then, considering Zhan Qipei’s temperant, he knew it would be useless no matter what he said. Therefore, he turned his head towards Qiao Jing and cast a pleading look her way.
Tang Yan was about to get engaged to Lin Xiuxiang, and since Qiao Jing treated Lin Xiuxiang like a younger sister, Tang Yan was, in Qiao Jing’s eyes, like a brother-in-law to her.
She would definitely help with this favor.
“Then I won’t go either.” Qiao Jing turned around and went back.
Zhan Qipei could not help but give Tang Yan a stern look, as he clearly understood Qiao Jing’s intentions.
Don’t think he didn’t see your little act just now.
“Get ready, we’re going on a business trip.”
Tang Yan stepped back, putting a little distance between himself and Zhan Qipei.
Seeing that Qiao Jing also stopped walking towards the apartnt, Zhan Qipei let out a helpless chuckle and shook his head.
“I’ll miss you when I’m back.”
Such cheesy words made Qiao Jing feel sowhat uncomfortable.
Tang Yan looked up to the sky, his expression screaming, “Who am I? Where am I?”
Not long after Qiao Jing left the house, she saw a familiar handso man appear in front of her.
Wasn’t this the strange man who asked her for directions last ti?
Qiao Jing had a deep impression of Wu Xirui for two reasons: firstly, because he was a mixed-race man with a high level of attractiveness that matched Zhan Qipei’s.
Secondly, after she had taken Wu Xirui to the police station that day, she received a call from Captain Zhao.
He clarified that the man was the Executive Director of an overseas tycoon company, who had just arrived in the Empire that morning and couldn’t be the culprit who had been asking female college students for directions and then making indecent advances recently.
As Qiao Jing was staring at Wu Xirui, he confidently walked towards her.
Was he coming to settle scores with her?
If they were to talk about who was in the wrong first for that incident, Qiao Jing knew she owed an apology.
“We et again,” Wu Xirui said with a smile looking at Qiao Jing.
“I’m sorry, I misunderstood you that day.”
“No need to apologize; I didn’t take it to heart. Besides, the police told that the area around the university town hasn’t been very safe recently, with a few people targeting female college students by asking for directions as a pretext for their indecent pursuits. So it’s understandable that you mistook ,” Wu Xirui said.
As Wu Xirui spoke, he paused for a mont before adding, “If you really feel bad about it, you can invite to a al.”
For so reason, Qiao Jing always felt that Wu Xirui had ulterior motives, yet she didn’t get a malicious vibe from him.
“Fine, but I’m going for a walk now. Besides, it’s not ti for lunch yet.”
Eight-thirty in the morning for lunch? It would also be too late for breakfast.
“I was planning to go for a walk as well. Since I’m idle, I’ll join you,” Wu Xirui said as he began to take off his suit jacket, folded it neatly, and draped it over his arm.
The more Qiao Jing looked at Wu Xirui, the weirder he seed.
He’s idle?
A big boss of a tycoon group like him saying he has nothing to do—who would believe that?
Not to ntion, there’s Zhan Qipei, also a big boss of a conglorate, busy from dawn till dusk, even heading to M country for business first thing in the morning.
Qiao Jing was not a mind reader to know what Wu Xirui was thinking; if Wu Xirui didn’t say it, she had no way to guess.
It couldn’t be that Wu Xirui had taken a fancy to her and was now stubbornly pursuing her.
In the end, she didn’t pay him any mind and just ran her own run.
Wu Xirui followed her all the way, asking all sorts of questions.
“Do you run every day?”
“Mm-hmm.”
“What kind of food do you like? Chinese? French?”
“With your beauty, there must be a lot of people chasing after you, right?”
