Chapter 56 Obvious Signs of Intent



"What? You only found the surname? What about the given name? What does the person do? You can't even find a photo?" Ji Shushu stood up excitedly after hearing the license plate information that Butler Li had found.

There is only the character "弦" (xián), and it is unclear whether it is a surname, a given name, or what it means. All other information is blank.

Just how powerful is the owner of that license plate that they can even block out all this information?

What exactly does that string represent?

Butler Uncle Li shook his head helplessly. “Miss, I have already sent people to investigate four times, but there is still no information about the other details. I think, could that 'Xuan' character be the Xuan family from M country that has only been developing in L city for a few years? The Xuan family is very powerful, and even the police have to show them respect. If they want to block this information, it would be a piece of cake.”

"The Xian family? That doesn't make sense... What kind of person is Xiaobai? How could she possibly be related to that Xian family? Hey, Uncle Li, could you also check if there are any people in the Xian family around Xiaobai's age, male or female, detailed information would be best."

"Yes, Miss."

Just then, Ji Ziqian returned from outside and happened to overhear some of it.

What detailed information do you need to investigate?

"Uncle Li, you can go down now."

"yes."

Ji Shushu mysteriously pulled Ji Ziqian, who was standing at the door, to sit down on the sofa.

"Brother, I have something very important to tell you!"

"What's wrong?"

"It's about Xiaobai, and it's very serious!"

Sure enough, upon hearing that it was about Bai Xiaoruo, Ji Ziqian immediately became highly vigilant.

"What happened to Xiaoruo? What's wrong with her?"

"Brother, I suspect that Xiaobai's strange behavior these past few days might be because she's being threatened."

"Threat? What do you mean?"

"Here's what happened. A few days ago, I saw the driver who used to help Xiaobai with her luggage come to school to drop her off again. He even picked her up and dropped her off at school. But he seemed very respectful to Xiaobai, as if he was doing her a favor. Lately, Xiaobai has been stammering and won't tell me who that driver is. She also told me that she hasn't been staying at the Bai family's house lately and has moved out. Brother, don't you think all of this is strange?"

“The driver…” Ji Ziqian vaguely remembered him, “wasn’t he a man who wore silver-rimmed glasses, looked to be in his early forties, and was quite burly? And he was wearing a black suit and looked very serious.”

"Yes, yes, yes! Brother, have you seen that driver too? I see him picking up and dropping off Xiaobai at school every day. We all know that Xiaobai has never been favored by the Bai family. Not to mention being assigned a driver by the Bai family, she's never even been given an extra two yuan of pocket money, which has made Xiaobai live a very frugal life. But recently, Xiaobai seems to have struck it rich. Not only does she only wear the school uniform, but she also occasionally wears some designer clothes. Brother... do you think Xiaobai might..." Ji Shushu didn't know how to continue.

She knew she should trust her friend and not doubt her whereabouts or character, but Bai Xiaoruo's unusual behavior these past few days, coupled with her refusal to explain herself directly, made it hard not to suspect anything.

If Bai Xiaoruo is indeed being threatened and bullied behind her back, you can help her if you find out the truth.

"Shut up!" Ji Ziqian stood up angrily, his hands clenched into fists.

No way! Xiaoruo is such a kind and innocent girl, she would never be that kind of person! Absolutely not!

"elder brother......"

"Shushu, haven't you always considered Xiaoruo your best friend? No matter what others think of her, how can you misunderstand her like this? I believe in Xiaoruo's character; perhaps there's just some misunderstanding behind this that we don't know about."

"I know, I also want to investigate and clear Xiaobai's name. Brother, you have no idea how awful the people in our class have said about Xiaobai. I really want to help Xiaobai."

"Alright! I'll have someone handle this. Don't make any more wild guesses about Xiaoruo." Ji Ziqian turned around and prepared to go upstairs.

Ji Shushu quickly ran forward and called out to him first, "Brother, you like Xiaobai, right?"

Ji Shushu's sudden remark caused Ji Ziqian to hesitate for two seconds as he went upstairs. He turned his back to Ji Shushu and remained silent.

Has my affection for Xiaoruo become so obvious?

Ji Ziqian didn't answer, but Ji Shushu had already guessed most of it.

"Brother, since you like Xiaobai, why don't you tell her? You know how absent-minded Xiaobai is. If you don't tell her, won't she still be foolish enough to treat you like her brother? Are you really going to wait until Xiaobai gets pursued by someone else before you dare to confess your feelings for her?"
