Chapter 1321: Chapter 1322: The Situation is Serious
Even the sounds from downstairs went unheard.
But there was a silver lining. Upon waking, she found her spirits lifted and the nausea completely gone, to her great delight.
The massage technique Xu Yiqiu taught her really worked!
Duan Qingqing was now even more eager for the dication Xu Yiqiu would bring back from abroad in a few days.
Since there was no reaction, what was there to fear from ng Xinian and Chiang Xiao?
Feeling hungry, Duan Qingqing imdiately got out of bed, walked out of her room, and went downstairs. “Aunt Guo, is dinner ready yet?”
Her words had just left her lips when she noticed the person seated in the living room.
“Chao Jun? You’re back?” Duan Qingqing was excited to rush toward him, but after running a few steps, she rembered her stomach and imdiately slowed down, proceeding more cautiously.
“Dad, you and Chao Jun must be exhausted!”
She joined ng Chaojun at the side, sitting down on the armrest next to him, “You’ve lost weight, Chao Jun. I’ll ask Aunt Guo to make chicken soup for you. Dad, you should have so too.”
Saying this, she stood up again and walked toward the kitchen.
ng Chaojun suppressed the emotions in his heart and turned to Nian Mutong, “Has your Aunt Qing been out much these past few days?”
“Yes, she rarely goes out. A few tis, she invited so friends over for tea.”
“Oh? Were they n?”
“No, they were won, including Sister Du Jinruo.”
ng Chaojun’s gaze flickered.
This seed a bit unusual. In his absence, shouldn’t she be going out every day?
At this mont, ng Xinian and Chiang Xiao ca down the stairs again.
“Xinian, Little, are you not upset anymore? Co here, Old ng would like to have a word with you,” Old ng hurriedly called out to them.
“There’s nothing to talk about.”
ng Xinian, holding Chiang Xiao’s hand, started to head for the door.
That’s when the telephone at ho rang.
A thought struck him, and he turned, leading Chiang Xiao to the phone.
“Officer ng.”
Director Wei’s calm voice ca through.
“This is ng Xinian.”
“While investigating all of Xu Yiqiu’s activities and contacts in the Capital, we discovered sothing. She had contact with Duan Qingqing the night of that day. So, if it’s convenient, I intend to make a personal visit this afternoon.”
Director Wei’s phrase “if it’s convenient” was rely a formality, which ng Xinian well understood.
In fact, now that they had found this information, whether it was convenient for the ng Family or not, he was certain to visit.
“I’ll be waiting at ho.”
ng Xinian said gravely, then hung up the phone.
Chiang Xiao, standing beside him and with sharp hearing, had caught Director Wei’s words.
“What’s the matter? You’re not leaving anymore?” she asked quietly.
ng Xinian’s expression was grim, “The situation is serious. If it’s really connected to her, one wrong move could drag down the entire ng Family.”
The authorities were cracking down hard on this issue. Xu Yiqiu was already caught with conclusive evidence and couldn’t escape. If there was a real connection, being classified as having dealings with foreign organizations, given the ng Family’s special status, the consequences would be dire.
If because of that woman, he were to ruin everything he had worked for over the years…
A heavy weight settled in Chiang Xiao’s heart as well.
After saying those words, ng Xinian imdiately made a phone call to Yang Zhiqi.
“Officer, I have an urgent matter. I need to extend my leave.”
“What for? There’s not much going on with the Supervisory Guard Team recently, but five days of leave isn’t enough? You used to resist taking any leave. Oh and by the way, I’ve scored another rit for my kid…”
“As many days as you can grant, Officer. It’s related to this matter. I’ll reach out for help when needed. That’s all for now.”
