Ke Kai was completely wronged, but he also understood what he had done. Even now, he could still see his master holding someone, and that person, needless to say, was none other than his boss's wife, Zhu Qianying!
"The door... isn't locked..."
After his initial fear subsided, Ke Kai became a little braver.
"Get out!"
Yan Shao's roar startled Ke Kai so much that he rolled away on all fours.
Fortunately, when he came in, he was afraid that the master was doing something confidential, so he left the person he brought back in the living room. Otherwise, if that guy had seen his master's temper, he might have been scared to death on the spot.
Yan Shao's two roars startled Zhu Qianying, and she instinctively gripped Yan Shao's waist. Only then did Yan Shao realize that he had frightened her as well, so he quickly lowered his head and gently caressed and kissed her face and lips.
"Baby, it's okay..."
Zhu Qianying finally recovered from her shock and confusion, looked up at him with disdain, and asked, "Why are you being so fierce?"
Young Master Yan patted her back, "You have absolutely no sense of propriety!"
Clearly, she was complaining to her about Ke Kai's reckless behavior ruining his plans.
Just as he was about to say something to plead for Ke Kai, he heard the man say angrily, "How dare you ruin my good time! You deserve to die!"
Zhu Qianying was stunned for a moment. She looked down and realized that the man had unbuttoned all the buttons on her clothes. She immediately understood why the man was so irritable!
Zhu Qianying raised her hand and gently pinched the corner of his ear. "Alright, we still have important things to do!"
She actually indulged this man.
Half of her emotions were stirred up by Yan Shao, and the other half was still immersed in the feeling that the bittersweet happiness between them should be cherished. That's why she completely forgot that this was an office and only thought about enjoying the pleasure in front of her without any regard for anything else!
Young Master Yan, of course, noticed her crazy response, which is why he made such unrestrained demands on her.
Now that his plans had been ruined by an idiot who didn't know his place, he could only grit his teeth and say, "This is the important thing!"
Even if he said that, Zhu Qianying could not continue with him, because she still remembered the purpose of her visit today.
"Sweetie, let's take care of the important business first, okay?"
She still used a coaxing tone, and after coaxing him, she kissed the man's face, who had been tense, unhappy, and unsatisfied.
The person stood up, slowly lowered their head, and tried to button up the undone buttons one by one.
Yan Shao was very indignant, but he also remembered what happened today.
Reluctantly, he reached out, pried her hand away, and personally buttoned up his own clothes, one button at a time.
"I remember you said you'd make it up to me once the important business was done!"
Zhu Qianying rolled her eyes inwardly. When did I ever say I would make it up to you?
But he said aloud, "Okay, good boy, let's see the person first."
The two lingered in the office for more than ten minutes before coming out. In the living room, besides Ke Kai, there was a man in his early forties sitting there.
Needless to say, this person was the old neighbor that Bai Xiangdong mentioned.
"Young Master Yan, Mrs. Yan, hello..."
The moment the man spoke, it was easy to match his appearance with his personality; he seemed to be a fairly honest person.
"Uncle Zhang, you don't mind me calling you that, do you? I heard from Uncle Dong that you used to be my mother's neighbor."
Zhu Qianying instinctively categorized the person as being like Bai Xiangdong. Although this was the first time she had met him, his demeanor was indeed very similar to Bai Xiangdong's. Judging from his reserved manners but unwavering gaze, he was also a straightforward person.
"I don't mind, I don't mind..." Uncle Zhang waved his hands repeatedly to indicate that he didn't care.
Zhu Qianying and Yan Shao sat down on the sofa opposite Uncle Zhang. Zhu Qianying glanced at Yan Shao and said, "I have some questions for Uncle Zhang. Could you and Brother Ke please leave for a moment?"
Yan Shao frowned slightly, gripping her hand tightly; clearly, he was not at ease.
Zhu Qianying glanced at Uncle Zhang again, then pointed to the side hall not far from the living room, "Why don't you and Brother Ke sit over there? I'll try to keep my questions brief."
Yan Shao was naturally worried, but Zhu Qianying insisted, so he had no choice. In addition, he had already sent someone to investigate this man surnamed Zhang yesterday. He was also a small business owner with a shop in the antique market, had good interpersonal relationships, and was usually quite mild-mannered. Overall, he should not be a threat.
Most importantly, this person had no motive to attack Zhu Qianying.
Yan Shao and Ke Kai got up and left, while Zhu Qianying asked Uncle Zhang about some old stories about her mother.
These old stories happened after Bai Xiangdong left the village, and his mother refused to tell him about them.
Uncle Zhang was very cooperative and told her almost everything he knew. Zhu Qianying quickly learned a lot of things she had never heard before, about her mother, her maternal grandfather and uncle, and some about what her maternal grandfather's family experienced in the village after her mother married Zhu Zhizhou.
"Uncle Zhang, thank you for telling me so much. If you have the chance to meet my mother, please keep what we've said here a secret, okay?"
Uncle Zhang nodded, indicating his understanding.
After Zhu Qianying learned what she wanted to know, she left the rest of the questions to Ke Kai and Yan Shao.
Uncle Zhang's words were actually consistent with Bai Xiangdong's, and he couldn't provide any further information.
All he knew was that Chen Jing's parents and brother had been forced to leave by the Zhu family, but he didn't know exactly who they were.
Yan Shao and Ke Kai asked him some questions, which he answered truthfully. However, on the surface, these answers seemed to have little value.
Yan Shao and Ke Kai questioned him for about half an hour, basically asking and answering everything they could.
When sending the person away, Ke Kai repeatedly reminded Uncle Zhang to remember to notify them if there was any news, no matter how small.
"I feel...it's very unlikely..."
Zhu Qianying's mood inexplicably became somewhat down.
Or perhaps it was because of what Uncle Zhang said, or perhaps it was because the clues they had just obtained were hardly any clues at all.
"It's alright. Starting tomorrow, Kai will be looking through the lists of mobile populations in various regions. He'll handle all the follow-up arrangements. We'll hear from you soon, don't worry!"
In Yan Shao's opinion, unless Chen Jing's parents and brother had vanished into thin air, or they had escaped abroad with the help of a benefactor, like Zhu Qianying did five years ago.
Otherwise, as long as they are still living ordinary lives in the country, it would not be difficult to find out their whereabouts.
"Yes, I know all of that, it's just that I can't quite process it all at once, and I'm having trouble accepting it."
