Chapter 613 I guessed it at a glance
Qiao Xing thought for a moment and then said to Yang Han, "I'll wait two more days. If there's no news from the detective, I'll contact you again."
That was just a polite remark. Qiao Xing had also considered that if the detectives really didn't make any progress, she would tell Qin Ce about it.
Asking Yang Han for help is not as good as telling Qin Ce directly.
Although she really wanted to handle this herself, she was powerless to do so. She didn't know what trouble Mr. Feng might cause, so she couldn't let the matter drag on any longer.
Yang Han didn't press Qiao Xing, but said, "Alright then, but this matter is indeed risky. You need to let Lin Xi know the seriousness of the matter. Otherwise, if they really find out and can't find any loopholes in Mr. Feng's case, this will be a real handle against you. If they find out that you asked Lin Xi to do this, even if Lin Xi is the victim, you will also be implicated."
Qiao Xing nodded. "I know."
Therefore, this matter really cannot be delayed any longer.
Inside the room, Lin Xi listened to the conversation between Yang Han and Qiao Xing outside and slowly clenched her fists.
Yang Han chatted for a while longer, but it seemed he couldn't be of much help, so he gave Qiao Xing a look, signaling her to speak to him privately.
Qiao Xing really didn't want to talk to him because she guessed what Yang Han wanted to say to her: to persuade Xiao Lin. How could she persuade her?
Yang Han coughed and said, "Sister-in-law, Qin Ce asked me to give you something. Come with me."
Qiao Xing frowned. "What is it?"
"You'll see when you come with me," he said, repeatedly gesturing to Qiao Xing to leave.
Qiao Xing's eyelids twitched. She had no choice but to go out with him.
Once outside, Qiao Xing asked, "What is it that insists I come out?"
Yang Han glanced into the room before pulling Qiao Xing aside and whispering, "I was just kidding. I don't have anything to give you. I just want you to help me persuade Xiao Lin. She's always out there, and I'm so worried about her. I can't sleep well at night because I'm afraid something might happen to her and the baby. Please do me a favor."
He clasped his hands together and looked at Qiao Xing with anticipation.
Qiao Xing expressed his dilemma, saying, "You are her husband. If you can't persuade her, how can I possibly do so? Besides, I'm not that close to her."
"You're both women, and you're pregnant too, so you have things in common. I'm a grown man, and whatever I say is just alarmist talk to her. Sister-in-law, please help me! Or I'll kowtow to you!"
He was about to kneel down when Qiao Xing was so frightened that she quickly grabbed him, "Are you crazy? Why are you kowtowing to me!"
Yang Han stared at her pitifully.
Qiao Xing was at her wit's end and said irritably, "Alright, alright, I'll try to talk to her, but I can't guarantee what the final result will be."
Yang Han immediately turned from worry to joy, "Good, good, that's great, just talk to her about the bigger picture, make sure she understands the seriousness of the matter."
"I see."
Yang Han chuckled, "Thank you, sister-in-law. If there's anything you can do for Lin Xi, just let me know."
"Um."
Qiao Xing had just figured it out. Whether he asked Yang Xu or Yang Han, it was all the same; they were only helping him because of Qin Ce.
It doesn't matter anymore, it's better to resolve it sooner rather than later.
Just then, the nanny Qin Ce had hired arrived at noon; she was brought by Xing Jiu.
Yang Han wanted to stay for lunch and also asked Xiao Lin to stay with him, hoping that Qiao Xing could help persuade her.
Qiao Xing suddenly realized that Lin Xi hadn't come out of the room, so she went to Lin Xi's room and knocked on the door.
A moment later, Lin Xi opened the door and looked up at Qiao Xing.
"Why are you hiding in the house all by yourself? Are you afraid of Yang Han and the others?"
Lin Xi shook her head, twisting her fingers together, and said hesitantly, "Should I...should I turn myself in?"
Qiao Xing was stunned for a moment. "What nonsense are you talking about? You didn't do anything wrong. Why would you confess? I've already told you not to overthink things."
Lin Xi's eyes were red, and she choked out, "I don't want to drag my sister down with me."
"You... sigh."
Qiao Xing pulled her into the room and made her sit on the bed. She said earnestly, "You didn't implicate me, and you didn't do anything wrong. If you keep saying that, don't call me 'sister' anymore."
Lin Xi was stunned for a moment, her eyes filled with panic. She subconsciously grabbed Qiao Xing's sleeve, as if she was really afraid that Qiao Xing would not acknowledge her as her younger sister.
Qiao Xing smiled and said, "Alright, don't think about it anymore. I'll help you this time, but you'll have to solve it yourself from now on."
"Yes." Lin Xi nodded heavily.
Qiao Xing sighed. Suddenly, the detective sent her a message and forwarded her a document.
She was somewhat delighted; the detective was so quick?
Qiao Xing opened the document and was even more surprised. She was quite impressed with the detective; he had managed to find so much information in just two or three days.
With this information, she felt more confident in finding Feng Nian.
Qiao Xing put away her phone and turned to look at Lin Xi. "Don't worry, things will be resolved soon."
Seeing her smile, Lin Xi also tugged at the corners of her mouth, trying to force a smile back.
The food outside was ready, and Qiao Xing pulled her down to eat.
Seeing the dishes on the table, Qiao Xing realized why the nanny had arrived so late; it turned out that all the dishes were from Qin Ce's cookbook.
He was screening for a nanny who could cook all the dishes on the recipe, which was a bit hard to find.
After dinner, Yang Han enthusiastically offered to play chess with the old man, leaving Xiao Lin to Qiao Xing.
Qiao Xing sat on the sofa with her, hesitating about how to start the conversation, but Xiao Lin spoke first, "I should go now. I'm really sorry to have bothered you today. I have a meeting this afternoon, but I'll visit you again when I have the chance."
Qiao Xing grabbed her arm. "Wait a minute."
Xiao Lin looked at her, puzzled. "Is there anything else, Miss Qiao?"
Qiao Xing was silent for a while, then stammered, "I... I don't have anything to do, I just wanted to find someone to chat with. I don't know many other people, and since you're pregnant too, we can talk sometime."
Xiao Lin said, "Did Yang Han ask you to come and persuade me?"
"..."
How can we even have a conversation now? They guessed it at a glance.
Qiao Xing forced a smile and explained, "No, it's just that I want to talk to you."
"Then let's do it next time. I'm in a meeting and I'm going to be late. Also, don't pay attention to Yang Han. He always makes a fuss. There are plenty of pregnant women working in my company, and they haven't had any problems."
Xiao Lin's words almost persuaded Qiao Xing, who said hesitantly, "Then we still have to be careful. They don't need to worry about as many things as you do."
Xiao Lin nodded slightly, "I know what I'm doing. We're not three-year-olds anymore, it's impossible that we don't know the most basic things. I'll pay attention to what I should pay attention to. If you have time, please persuade Yang Han to stop making such a big deal out of nothing and to spend more time at the company."
