Ning Hao looked at Fu Lin and the others and said, "Brothers, don't make wild guesses. Jiang Qiao doesn't like jokes like that. We're still just friends. I'd like to take things further, but her kid is still young. For my future happiness, please don't let anything slip in front of Jiang Qiao. Please, please. Today it's my treat, everyone eat your fill."
"Sure thing, it's your treat, no problem at all. Just tell us what to say and we'll do it."
After Ning Hao and his buddies finished eating, everyone had to rush off to work. Only Fu Lin's job was relatively relaxed, unlike the other two who were managed so strictly.
After the two brothers came out, Fu Lin took out a cigarette and offered one to Ning Hao, but Ning Hao waved his hand, "I won't smoke for now, the doctor won't allow it—"
Fu Lin glanced at him and said, "Tell me honestly, where exactly are you injured? I can't see anything wrong with your physique."
Ning Hao sighed deeply, "I was poisoned and was unconscious for more than half a month. The doctors all thought I was done for. Fortunately, I was lucky and met a benefactor, so I was able to save my life."
"Enough about me, tell me what's going on with Miao Xin? Even if he's busy, he shouldn't disappear from his own brother's life!"
Fu Lin took a drag of his cigarette, exhaled a smoke ring, and then sighed. As he walked, he said, "You all know about Miao Xin's family situation. He has many children and his family isn't well-off. The woman he married is from a good family. She only has one precious daughter, and she didn't ask the Miao family for any dowry. She even helped him get a job transfer. Miao Xin has no choice but to try to curry favor with his father-in-law's family."
I can understand his actions, but I don't quite agree with them. He prioritizes his wife and father-in-law too much, almost to the point of being unlike himself.
To get some good food for his mother-in-law and wife, this guy went to great lengths, even digging a tunnel for them, and even contacted Jiang Qiao. Sigh, I don't know what to say about him. Apart from going to work, he just spends all his time around his wife and father-in-law's family.
Even though he found a respectable job, to be honest, I'm not envious of him at all.
Ning Hao narrowed his eyes slightly. "Looking for Jiang Qiao? What does he mean by that? He thinks Jiang Qiao can get it?"
Fu Lin chuckled. "That's why Jiang Qiao had some doubts back then and asked me to investigate. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find out so much detail."
That guy hasn't been in much contact with us since he got married, and I really don't know much about his situation.
You know, he's practically a live-in son-in-law now; he eats and lives at his father-in-law's house. This year, his company just allocated him an apartment.
Ning Hao suddenly asked, "What's Miao Xin's mother-in-law like? What does she do for a living? Has she been on a business trip recently?"
Fu Lin turned to Ning Hao in surprise. "What do you mean? How would I know if she's on a business trip or not? But his mother-in-law has a good job; I heard she's a designer. What, have you met her before?"
Ning Hao shook his head and sighed, "Where would I find someone like this? I just find it strange that she would let her son-in-law dig a hole in the door to look for things. Doesn't she worry about Miao Xin getting into trouble? I've never seen a mother-in-law like this before."
When you have time, keep an eye on Miao Xin and his family. If I'm not around, contact Jiang Qiao.
How's work going here? Is there anything I can help you with?
Fu Lin chuckled, "You've hit the nail on the head. Let me tell you, my problem right now is that I don't have anything good to bring back. The factory is working overtime every day to keep up with the demand. The bosses are concerned about whether the workers have enough to eat. If a person doesn't have enough to eat, they won't have the strength to work, right?"
"How about it, help me think of a way to get some meat?"
Ning Hao said casually, "Do I need to do that? Just write a letter of introduction, go to the countryside, find the production team to buy pigs, deliver the pigs for the task, and they'll still have some left over."
Fu Lin rolled his eyes at him. "Do you think I didn't think about it? You know what kind of year it was last year. Let alone raising pigs, it was difficult to even raise people. So, this won't work."
"Hey, Haozi, could you ask Jiang Qiao to think of a way to hunt some prey? At least we'd have some income."
"Come on, is there anything left on this mountain? Even if there is, it's in the old forest. What if we run into wolves? This is no joke. We'll figure something out later. I'm leaving now. Come visit me sometime. I'm resting at home for a while, so I'll be there when I have time."
After parting ways with Fu Lin, Ning Hao went directly to Song Zhi and first had someone investigate the situation of his mother-in-law and father-in-law, as well as their workplaces.
He happened to run into Song Shutian, and he shared his doubts with the two of them.
"You suspect that the woman who ran away back then was Miao Xin's mother-in-law?"
Ning Hao shook his head. "That's not necessarily true. When I heard about this person, I had a feeling that I wanted to investigate. Just to be safe, it's better to find out more. After all, those people have informants everywhere."
Song Shutian agreed with Ning Hao's reasoning, "Okay, Lao Song, hurry up and have someone check the files."
Now that Song Shutian has taken over, Ning Hao is no longer needed, especially given his current health condition; Song Shutian wouldn't dare let him do anything.
"Go back and rest quickly. Even though most of the toxins have been eliminated, the remaining toxins shouldn't be underestimated. Go back and take good care of yourself. We'll contact you again if anything comes up. Don't worry about the school. Go back whenever you're feeling better. Actually, we're just waiting for you to come back to receive your award."
Then he patted Ning Hao on the shoulder and said, "Remember, your health is the most important thing. Don't be careless. I'm still waiting for you to make new contributions."
By the way, there's been some news from your dad. Do you want to know?
Ning Hao gave a bitter laugh. "I don't even need to ask. He's probably already found someone else, right? Hmph, how cold-hearted. It hasn't been that long since we divorced, has it?"
Song Shutian patted Ning Hao on the shoulder and said, "Take it easy. This is nothing to worry about. Alright, go back now."
After leaving the police station, Ning Hao was not in a good mood. Ning Boyuan's remarriage had affected his emotions.
He just couldn't understand whether his father had ever truly loved or liked anyone in his life.
Back then, because of his mother's behavior, he thought Ning Boyuan and Tong Yun were truly in love. Now it seems that his father probably only loved himself.
It hasn't been that long, and this is already the third person.
Feeling down, he didn't want to go back, so he wandered around the street. Unexpectedly, he ran into Jiang Mei. At that moment, she was leaving a store one after the other with a man. To outsiders, the two seemed like an odd couple.
Ning Hao glanced at it a few times. He didn't want to meddle in other people's business. Jiang Mei's reputation was what it was. Even if that man really had something going on with Jiang Mei, it was none of his business as an outsider.
However, despite thinking that, my feet wouldn't obey me, and I inexplicably followed them.
