Gu San subconsciously turned his head to look at the man next to him and almost blurted out what was on his mind. Fortunately, he managed to hold onto his words and swallowed them silently.
Restless, Qiao Nian pressed down on the rim of her cap. Although she didnât know how to explain it to him, she felt that it was necessary. âSomeone came in to talk to me just now. I was preoccupied with the conversation and did not check my cell phone.â
She didnât finish her sentence.
Messages asking her where she was or what she was doing were usually regarded as junk. If these messages were sent by people she was not familiar with, she wouldnât even bother replying to them.
However, if it was sent by Ye Wangchuan, she would most likely reply to him.
Qiao Nian was very irritable. She didnât know why she subconsciously felt that she would reply to him. She pursed her lips and raised her eyes.
âI did not intentionally forget to reply to you.â
Seeing that she was all right, Ye Wangchuan felt relieved. He couldnât bring himself to quarrel with her over the fact that she didnât reply to his message. It was a small matter. He raised his eyebrows, looked at her with burning eyes, and asked, âSomeone was looking for you?â
At this question, a trace of ridicule flashed on Qiao Nianâs face. It was obvious that she didnât take it seriously by how relaxed she looked. âMore than one person came to find me. Two or three groups of people came here already.â
Ye Wangchuan changed the direction the cell phone was facing; he could now see her more clearly. He was expressionless and looked slightly cold, so she couldnât tell if he was angry or not.
âWhy were they looking for you?â
Seeing that he didnât harp on the message, Qiao Nian relaxed. Then, her eyes became cold. Although she was sitting casually, her eyes were still wild. âIt was nothing much. They said that thereâs still time for me to cry and regret my actions. They also persuaded me to admit my mistakes, then they would be willing to let me go.â
Gu San was speechless. Hearing her speak so casually and seeing the vigor on her face, his lips twitched.
Miss Qiao, I know you arenât afraid, but could you give some face to the Wei Family and restrain yourself a little?
If the Wei Family saw Miss Qiaoâs careless attitude now, they would be very angry!
He didnât know that Qiao Nian had already made Wei Ling angry. She was so angry that her chest hurt and she had difficulty breathing for some time.
Seeing her casual attitude towards this matter, the corners of Ye Wangchuanâs mouth lifted, forming a smile. He was relieved.
His eyes could peer into someoneâs heart. While Gu San was still worrying and looking like a fool, he had already understood what Qiao Nian was trying to say.
âDo you have something that could implicate Wei Qi?â he casually asked.
Most of the time, the tone of his voice was very similar to Qiao Nianâs. He had a very casual tone of speaking. It was as though there were many things in this world that he couldnât be bothered about. Even when he was investigating the illegal area, Gu San noticed that he was able to do it with ease and with a lazy attitude.
Only when it came to matters concerning Qiao Nian did Gu San could see a caring look on his face.
Gu San silently looked away. He felt as though he didnât have a place in this video call. He was no better than the background around them.
This was because he could not understand what Master Wang was talking about.
Although Wei Qi wasnât hardworking, he was still a member of the Wei Family. No matter how influential Miss Qiao was, she only knew people from Rao City. How could she have gotten her hands on information that could implicate him?
The people from the Wei Family werenât fools. If Wei Qi had done something bad, they would have covered up his misdeeds already. They wouldnât have let people find out about it!
ââ¦â
Qiao Nian didnât expect him to be so observant.. He managed to guess that she had something to implicate Wei Qi in her possession before she even told him about it.
