Chapter 255: He Walked Alone

“Thoroughly investigate his background. Furthermore, arrange someone to keep an eye on him around the clock. Notify me immediately if there’s anything unusual!” Jin Chenye’s eyes flickered, he said in a grave voice.

“How is the investigation on Meng Ziqi going?” Jin Chenye abruptly changed his subject, casting a glance at his assistant.

“I’ve completed the investigation. Miss Meng’s movements ever since she returned to the country have all been normal. The only anomaly was her spending records. I found some blank spaces when I looked into it. However, upon further investigation, it turned out to be a mistake on the bank’s part. As of now, everything seems non-suspect.” n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

“Continue the investigation.” Jin Chenye uttered indifferently.

“Understood. What about Miss Meng? We manage to obtain information on Diwu Zexuan this time thanks to the considerable help from the Meng family…”

“Arrange a lunch appointment with Meng Ziqi for me. After I’ve finished my noon tasks, I’ll have lunch with her.” Jin Chenye, after dropping these words, turned around and left.

In the tea restaurant.

Qin Youxuan washed her face with disappointment. She slapped her face a couple of times to regain her senses.

The conversation with Director Lin didn’t go well. Director Lin kept apologizing to her, admitting reluctantly to selling his shares in Qin Group, but refused to explain his reasons.

Qin Youxuan knew well, Director Lin was not the kind of person who only valued benefits. She’d appear pushy if she kept pressing for an answer.

However, if she didn’t probe further, she wouldn’t have a clue about what tricks Jin Chenye played behind her back.

This feeling was indeed disturbing!

“Hu——”

Qin Youxuan heaved a sigh, used a couple of tissues to dry her hands, and walked out of the restroom.

When she arrived at her table, she found it already empty.

“Are you Miss Qin?” A waiter greeted Qin Youxuan promptly when he saw her.

“Yes, it’s me.”

“Mr. Lin at table no. 13 had to leave due to something urgent. He asked me to pass on the message. Also, he has already paid the bill.”

“He left?” Qin Youxuan frowned and glanced at the spot where Director Lin was seated. Even the tablecloth was flipped over from his seat, indicating he left in a hurry.

Qin Youxuan felt an inexplicable sense of unease. She turned to the waiter and asked, “Did he leave alone?”

“Yes, he left hurriedly after receiving a call.”

“Understood, thank you.”

“My pleasure.” The waiter left.

Qin Youxuan stood there, hesitating for a few seconds before finally picking up her bag to leave.

As she reached for the door handle, she noticed another hand had already touched it.

“You first…” Qin Youxuan started to speak but faltered when she caught sight of the person next to her. Her eyes narrowed.

“Little Xuan, I didn’t expect to bump into you here, what a coincidence.” Meng Ziqi in a Chanel long dress looked up, was taken aback when she met Qin Youxuan’s dark eyes, then quickly readjusted her expression and greeted Qin Youxuan with a smile.

“Didn’t expect to see me here or thought you would see me in prison instead? That’s right, after all, I’m the one you single-handedly put behind bars. I almost couldn’t get out. Naturally, you’d be surprised to see me here.” Qin Youxuan replied indifferently.

Her rebellious eyes instantly turned sharp.

She’d been so busy dealing with Jin Chenye over Qin Group that she’d almost forgotten about Meng Ziqi.

If it weren’t for Meng Ziqi, she wouldn’t have found herself defenseless in the murder case.

She nearly went from being a victim to a murder suspect. Each time Qin Youxuan thought about how Meng Ziqi could plot against her so despicably just for Jin Chenye, she couldn’t help grinding her teeth in hatred.

She honestly didn’t know how Meng Ziqi managed to be so two-faced. Clearly, she set her up with false testimony, yet she can still greet her with a smile.
