Chapter 1174 A Trustworthy Person
By the afternoon, Nie Yao had put the matter behind her. She had lunch, took a nap, and then got up for afternoon tea. Sure enough, Li Qin arrived as promised.
"Madam, these are the jewels I took away this morning!" Li Qin returned the jewels he had taken away in the morning to their original owners, asked Nie Yao to count them carefully, and gave Nie Yao several appraisal certificates.
"This is an appraisal certificate from a professional organization. These jewels are all genuine. Not a single one is a counterfeit!"
Nie Yao took the jewelry and counted them first, then picked up the certificate to check one by one. The appraisal results were clearly written on it. Neither the pigeon blood ruby nor the brooch was a fake!
"It seems that just as Li Jinxing said, Nie Jinxi doesn't have the ability to forge these jewels in such a short time!"
Nie Yao put down the certificates and said to Li Qin with a smile, "Li Qin, thank you for your hard work. You've made two trips back and forth to help me get the jewelry appraised!"
"Madam, you don't have to be so polite. This is just a small favor!" Li Qin shook his head and replied with a faint smile, "Last time, Madam, you specially packed lobster for me, and I didn't even have time to thank you!"
"That time with the lobster, thanks to Li Jinxing for reminding me that you actually like it..." Nie Yao couldn't help but feel a little regretful when she talked about that incident. "It's a pity that he didn't tell me about his allergy, otherwise he wouldn't have had an allergic reaction later and scared us!"
Seeing that Nie Yao was still a little scared after mentioning that incident, Li Qin took the initiative to comfort her with a smile: "Madam, there is no need to worry. Jiu Ye is not as fragile as you think. He has been through many things, even poisoning, and he has survived them all..."
"I know, that's why I think it's been tough for him these past few years!" Nie Yao nodded slightly, smiled wryly, and said, "He doesn't have many people he can trust, and you're a very important one..."
Li Qin didn't deny Nie Yao's statement. He nodded and smiled, "Well, Jiu Ye and I have known each other for a long time. Although I am his assistant, he has always been kind to me, just like a brother! In the past, Jiu Ye had some of his inner thoughts, but he couldn't tell me much except to his eldest brother, so as not to upset him. Fortunately, now that he has you, my wife, Jiu Ye can finally find a place to rest!"
"Unfortunately, I can't help him share enough of the burden. Instead, he is the one who has always supported and encouraged me..." Nie Yao picked up the teacup and took a sip, his face full of guilt.
"Master Jiu helps you because he hopes you will be happy. As long as you are happy, he will be happy too!" Li Qin explained with a smile.
Nie Yao nodded silently, put the jewelry aside, and said to Li Qin, "By the way, I also want to ask you, what is the whereabouts of the witness that Li Jinxing asked you to find?"
"We've found him. He changed his name and opened a small shop in another small city. He's living a comfortable life..."
Li Qin said this, took out his cell phone from his pocket, flipped through the photos and showed them to Nie Yao: "This is what I asked a private detective to take. Madam, please take a look!"
Nie Yao took the phone and looked at it for a few seconds, frowning slightly. It was obvious that the maid who was bribed at the beginning had become fat now. It seemed that he had indeed received a sum of money and could open his own shop, and he was living a good life!
But she and her mother had to go through such pain, and their good family was broken up like this...
Nie Yao subconsciously clenched her fists when she thought of this, returned the phone to Li Qin, and said in a deep voice, "This person is the most important witness, we must not let him get into trouble!"
