Chapter 408 Whereabouts Unknown
Nie Yao nodded and said hesitantly, "Yes, it's true that she suddenly disappeared without a trace. I told her before to keep in touch and to tell me immediately if anything dangerous or inappropriate happened!"
"If she was in danger, she would contact you, but since she didn't tell you and moved away quietly, it is very likely that she was bribed rather than murdered..." Li Jinxing said in a deep voice.
"Well, I thought I was careful enough, but I didn't expect that the person behind the scenes still found Lu Chunxia, and the clue we had worked so hard to get is missing again!"
Nie Yao smiled bitterly and shrugged, saying with some annoyance.
"Yaoyao, don't be upset. This isn't your fault. If she could be bribed with money back then, it's not surprising that she's being bribed again now!"
Li Jinxing stroked her palm and comforted her softly, "At least, she told you some truth, letting you know that there were other reasons for your grandfather's death, and also gave you some clues for you to continue your investigation!"
"Yeah..." Nie Yao nodded sullenly, smiled self-deprecatingly, and said, "At least she got the money and left instead of getting murdered. I can't be considered to have indirectly killed someone in order to investigate the case!"
Li Jinxing saw that despite her distress, she still remembered to care about the safety of others. He couldn't help but sigh softly, pulled her into his arms, stroked her back and whispered: "Don't be depressed, I will let Li Qin find her whereabouts! As long as she is still alive, she will be found, and she can still serve as a key witness!"
Nie Yao nodded silently. Although her mood improved a little after his comfort, she was still a little depressed. She just leaned in his arms without saying anything.
Li Jinxing hugged Nie Yao with one hand, picked up his phone with the other, dialed Li Qin's number, and ordered in a deep voice: "Li Qin, go check on Lu Chunxia's whereabouts and see where she went!"
"Lu Chunxia? Doesn't she live in that dilapidated residential building?" Li Qin asked puzzledly on the other end of the phone.
"Yes, Nie Yao and I just went there and learned that she had moved overnight and is now missing. You go and find out whether she has left the city!" Li Jinxing ordered in a deep voice.
"Okay, Master Jiu!" Li Qin responded respectfully.
"By the way, remember to send someone to keep a close eye on that woman named Qian Fang. See if she's been in or out of the Lihai Hua Ting neighborhood recently, and if she's had any private interactions with the second son of the Nie family or Nie Jinxi!"
Li Jinxing gave these instructions, and Li Qin on the other end of the phone nodded in agreement.
After giving these instructions, Li Jinxing patted Nie Yao on the shoulder and whispered comfortingly: "I have asked Li Qin to investigate. There will definitely be news in the next few days. Don't worry too much..."
Nie Yao nodded silently in response, raised her head from his arms, smiled bitterly and said, "I just can't accept that the clue is broken here!"
"It won't stop. As long as they really do it, there will definitely be clues. There has never been a perfect crime in this world!"
Nie Yao was so encouraged by him that she forced a smile and nodded, saying, "Well, don't think that this will make me stop investigating!"
Li Jinxing kissed her forehead soothingly and said softly, "How about this, I'll take you out to relax so you don't have to think about these troubles!"
Nie Yao responded with a lack of interest. Li Jinxing noticed this and told the driver, "Drive to the exhibition of emerging artists in the city center!"
