"What did she ask you to investigate?"
"She?" Qiu Jinghui didn't react for a moment. He looked up and met Mr. Xiao's chilling eyes. He shuddered with fear and thought of Chi Beibei in a flash.
Qiu Jinghui asked tremblingly: "Are you referring to Miss Chi Beibei?"
Mr. Xiao raised his eyelids. Qiu Jinghui didn't know if he guessed right or not. Seeing that he didn't stop him, he continued to say, "Miss Chi wants to investigate the information about when Mr. Chi adopted her."
Upon hearing this, Mr. Xiao frowned fiercely, tapping the armrest of the wheelchair with his fingers again and again, and also tapping Qiu Jinghui's heart.
Qiu Jinghui's face turned pale, and his legs were shaking: "Mr. Chi did not adopt Miss Chi through normal procedures back then."
"Ms. Chi said she wanted to prove that she was once an orphan."
Mr. Xiao stared at Qiu Jinghui quietly, lost in thought. He originally thought that he would never have any contact with that girl again in this life, but he didn't expect to bump into her unexpectedly at the door of the small institution he opened today.
He followed in for some unknown reason, just wanting to help her.
Abin checked her information privately and showed it to Chi Beibei while he was talking to Qiu Jinghui.
He was not angry at Abin's self-willed behavior, but took the document uncontrollably. This feeling was very bad and he didn't like it.
There was a twist in his eyes. He was just repaying her for helping him with the wheelchair yesterday, that was all.
The look in Erye's eyes was so terrifying that Qiu Jinghui thought he was dissatisfied with him and was so nervous that he almost fainted.
He racked his brains to recall the conversation with Chi Beibei: "Second Master, Miss Chi paid me a deposit of 1 million, and said she would give me another 1 million after the deal was done."
"She wants to prove that she was once an orphan?" Master Xiao murmured. Qiu Jinghui nodded repeatedly, afraid that the Second Master didn't see it, so he responded again: "Yes, Second Master."
Didn’t the Chi family claim to the outside world that Chi Beibei was an adopted daughter? Can't it be proved? Why didn't she ask Chi Feng but directly hired a detective, or did she actually want to find her biological parents?
Mr. Xiao recalled that before the eldest daughter of the Chi family returned to China, the Chi family had never revealed that Chi Beibei was an adopted daughter. After the eldest daughter of the Chi family appeared, they slandered her on the Internet many times.
Is there some secret behind this?
Master Xiao's eyes turned cold, and he looked up at Ah Bin who was standing aside: "Ah Bin, arrange a few people to speed up. I want to know her true life experience, and also investigate the eldest daughter of the Chi family."
"Yes." Abin took the order and passed it on to several senior detectives who worked specifically for the Second Master.
Qiu Jinghui silently watched Abin's receding back and shed tears in his heart. He finally got a big order, but before he could even enjoy the one million, it was gone just like that.
Just when Qiu Jinghui was still feeling sad, Mr. Xiao glanced at him. He knew that this man's qualifications in the company were decent.
"You should be the one to contact her." Mr. Xiao's expression was indistinguishable. "Remember, don't let her know that there are other people investigating together."
Qiu Jinghui was pleasantly surprised that he had the opportunity to participate in this. He swallowed his saliva and replied, "I'll remember this, Second Master."
"Go down."
"Okay, Second Master." Qiu Jinghui tiptoed out of the president's office and gently closed the door. He finally let out the breath he had been holding and fled back to his workstation.
Ah Bin returned to the president's office and stood respectfully beside Second Master Xiao: "Second Master, it has been arranged."
“How long will it take?”
"Three months at the latest." If it was just Qiu Jinghui alone, it would probably take one or two years, but now that several senior detectives have joined, three months is already a conservative estimate.
The actual usage time should be shorter.
"That's good." They were clear.
Mr. Xiao turned his wheelchair around and stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, overlooking the hustle and bustle of traffic outside. He was like a lonely bystander in the noisy world, and his thin back had an indescribable loneliness.
Ah Bin's heart seemed to be stabbed. He thought of something and hesitated to speak: "Second Master."
"Go ahead."
"Miss Chi's nominal aunt, Xiao Ruoqin, is your cousin." Xiao Ruoqin's brother is the second master's distant cousin.
He relied on his master's support to make his fortune, but was involved in planning a car accident involving his eldest uncle's family and was sent to prison by his second uncle. His descendants were not up to the task, so this lineage fell into decline.
Xiao Ruoqin's husband spent his days in debauchery. Without the support of her natal family, Xiao Ruoqin's life in the Xia family became increasingly difficult. She was a good wife of the first wife, but was now worse off than a servant.
"We are actually related by marriage." Mr. Xiao did not blame Chi Beibei for his brother's death. Regardless of the fact that she was just an adopted daughter of the Chi family, even if she was the niece of Xiao Ruoqin's husband, it had nothing to do with her.
"Forget it, I probably won't see you again in the future."
......
At the entrance of Xiao’s main residence.
Xiao Ruoqin paced back and forth anxiously, looking at the gloomy main house from time to time. She didn't know how many people the devil Xiao Erye had killed, so perhaps all the people in here were undead.
She felt that those things were secretly watching her, and she wanted to get in the car and escape several times, but the fear of Old Madam Xia that was rooted in her soul made her stay.
Just give it a try. If Mr. Xiao throws her out, it’s not her fault.
The black extended version of the Cayenne drove slowly towards the main house. Master Xiao saw a woman's furtive figure from afar. He frowned unhappily: "Who is that?" It had been a long time since anyone dared to come to the main house and disturb him so blindly.
"Second Master, that's your cousin Xiao Ruoqin."
Mr. Xiao, who originally wanted to ignore the woman, was slightly stunned when he heard this: "Let her in."
"yes."
Xiao Ruoqin had only come here to try her luck on the old lady's orders, but she didn't expect to be invited into the main house so easily.
Xiao Ruoqin, who was already depressed and sick, walked into the living room almost tremblingly. The lights were not on in the house. Master Xiao had his back to the faint light coming in from outside, like a Shura in the dark night.
When she met the gloomy and terrifying eyes of Mr. Xiao, she was almost frightened to the point of cardiac arrest. She had not seen her distant nephew for several years since her brother was put in prison.
He became more and more terrifying.
"What's the matter?" Master Xiao was quite bored when he saw that she looked like she was about to be frightened.
"Xiao...Xiao Han, I'm your cousin, do you...do you still remember me?" Xiao Ruoqin stammered and tried to get close to her.
"Shut up!" Mr. Xiao interrupted her impatiently, "If you came here just to say this nonsense, then you can go away."
Xiao Ruoqin didn't dare to try to make friends anymore, so she got straight to the point: "I'm here to propose marriage."
