After finishing her work for a while, Shen Xuewei suddenly received a call from Chen Fangli, saying that Grandpa Chu had been hit by a car while walking on the road...
She rushed to the hospital and breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Grandpa Chu lying in bed with obvious abrasions on his body, but in relatively good spirits.
"Grandpa Chu, where are you hurt?"
Grandpa Chu smiled broadly, "Weiwei, you're back?"
"Oh, it's nothing. A motorcyclist hit me. It hurt for a little while, but I don't feel any pain after that."
"It's all because of your second aunt and uncle, they always make a mountain out of a molehill. I didn't want to be hospitalized, but they insisted on making me..."
Chen Fangli, as the daughter-in-law, showed her disapproval, but she didn't want to scold him.
Chu Fu then stepped in to criticize and denounce the old man.
"Dad, you've scraped up such a big patch of skin, and you still say it's nothing? And your back, the doctor said you've injured it. If you really think it's nothing, don't hold your back, just get down and walk around like this and see what happens."
Grandpa Chu looked indignant and threw off the covers to get out of bed.
“I’ll just take a walk, and if I say I’m fine, then I’m fine.”
Chen Fangli quickly stopped him, saying, "Dad, Dad, no, don't mind Afu, he just doesn't know how to talk nicely."
“We’ll listen to the doctor. You just stay in bed and get better before you get up. I’ll come to the hospital to take care of you these next few days.”
"The sooner you get better, the sooner you can go back and play chess with the uncles and elders in the neighborhood. And Kang Kang, he'll be home for his holiday in a while. You should focus on your treatment at the hospital so he won't worry when he comes back..."
Upon hearing Chen Fangli's words, Grandpa Chu, whose legs had been pressed against the ground, paused and lay back down on the hospital bed.
Seeing that he wasn't seriously injured, Shen Xuewei, after visiting him at the hospital, took some time to keep a date with someone.
"Speak, what do you want to see me about?"
A gaunt middle-aged man sat opposite her, chuckled, and tried to say something more flattering to get closer to Shen Xuewei.
However, noticing Shen Xuewei's cold expression, he quickly stopped flattering her and got straight to business.
“Miss Shen, I’ve made some progress on the matter you asked me to investigate before.”
Shen Xuewei's eyes lit up slightly at first, but when she remembered that this guy had said the same thing to her before, her expression cooled down.
"If I remember correctly, you said the same thing to me the first two times."
The man gave an awkward smile and then assured him:
“Miss Shen, I’m telling the truth this time. I’m really not lying to you. If I’m lying, then let me… I…”
He gritted his teeth and swore an oath on his own son:
"If I'm lying to you, I'll make sure my son brings a male wife home when he gets married!"
Shen Xuewei's lips twitched. "Your son is truly blessed to have such a good father like you."
She finally mustered up some patience to listen to what the man was about to say.
"You speak, I listen."
The man rubbed his thumb against his forefinger. "Miss Chen, about this..."
Shen Xuewei glanced at him and slapped away his outstretched hand.
"What's your rush? Have I ever been short of your money all these years? You've been investigating for so many years, and all you've found is trivial stuff. I hope what you find out for me this time will satisfy me."
Shen Xuewei raised her chin, and Gan Shengnan next to her reached into her bag, took out a stack of money, and placed it on the table.
"I'm satisfied, so this money is yours. If it's still some useless stuff, you don't need to contact me again."
The man was the detective she hired to investigate Chen Xiangheng, but after all these years, he hadn't found anything out.
Qi Renda looked at the stack of money, automatically calculated the amount based on its thickness, and estimated that there was no less than 100,000 yuan. His smile became more enthusiastic.
He glanced at the door, where Peng Zhiyun was standing, and Wu Antang was guarding outside.
He reached into his pocket, pulled out a voice recorder, and played a recording for Shen Xuewei.
"...Back when you took the college entrance exam, I helped you choose my nephew from the same clan...My son, this time the hole is huge..."
Shen Xuewei put away her initial nonchalance, pressed the recorder, and listened to the recording several times.
Seeing Shen Xuewei's serious expression, Qi Renda breathed a sigh of relief, his eyes involuntarily glancing at the stack of money.
There was no other way; the family's expenses had been quite high lately, and he needed a lot of money.
Having done this clandestine business for so long, he doesn't know how to do anything else.
If I want to earn more money, I can only pin my hopes on this order.
Noticing his gaze, Shen Xuewei gave Gan Shengnan a look.
Gan Shengnan understood and pushed the stack of money in front of Qi Renda.
"Mr. Qi, this money is yours now."
Qi Renda put the money into the bag he had brought, then looked at Shen Xuewei, who was holding the recording pen and thinking.
“Miss Shen, I’m sure you’ve hired more than just me as a private investigator over the years, but only I can bring you something this useful, right?”
Shen Xuewei glanced at him but didn't say anything.
Qi Renda continued, "Miss Chen, I can guarantee that within six months at most, I will put what you want to know in front of you."
“It has indeed taken a long time, but as you know, it’s not easy to investigate after so many years… This is my last case, and I hope you will give me no less than this amount.”
He typed a string of numbers into the input field, handed it to Shen Xuewei, and stared intently into her eyes.
Shen Xuewei glanced at the amount he requested and a slight smile appeared on her lips.
She thought it would cost a lot of money, but it turned out to be just this little bit.
When Qi Renda saw Shen Xuewei's smile, he knew that money was not a problem.
"Money is no problem, I'll give you six months... By the way, you're the one who caused the mess his son made, aren't you?"
Qi Renda chuckled, "I just guided him in this direction, I didn't force him. He can choose not to listen, what does it have to do with me?"
Ultimately, it comes down to people's own lack of willpower.
Shen Xuewei didn't like using such methods, but since things had already come to this... she lowered her eyes and said nothing.
The two looked at each other, and Qi Renda raised his glass.
"I'd like to propose a toast to Miss Chen."
Shen Xuewei smiled, giving him face, and raised her wine glass to clink with his.
After taking a small sip of her drink, she immediately told them to leave.
