Nian Qingyun nodded and glanced over at Xiao Xue, beckoning him to go on. He continued, “The one that I didn’t manage to find was the female student who testified against him in court, Zeng Lijuan. I found out that she passed away in a car accident last year.”
Nian Qingyun was shocked. “She’s key to appealing the case. Without her, our chances are already halved. The other two witnesses are acting in a suspicious manner, too. With all that hiding and lying, perhaps Xu Zhengxuan was really wronged.”
“Yeah, there’s something else that’s quite fishy. After Zeng Lijuan passed away, her boyfriend, who stayed with her, became quite rich over a short period of time. I printed a copy of his bank statements. The source of his money comes from an overseas shell company. He started receiving payments from them two months after his girlfriend died.”
“You’re implying…”
“How can it be so coincidental? I suspect that her boyfriend found something after Zeng Lijuan passed away. He might be blackmailing someone and extorting money from them. That man might be the mastermind behind the whole case.”
Nian Qingyun looked up and put down the documents. Xiao Xue looked at him and said, “Well… should we pass this to Xu Luosang? If we offer her this information and the chance of appealing her father’s case, she might agree to leave Young Master.”
Nian Qingyun opened his mouth and hesitated. Finally, he sighed and said, “Forget it. Murong Cheng decided to divorce me because of Xu Luosang and Junting. If I resorted to such methods, she might hate me for the rest of my life…”
Before he finished, the phone rang, and when he picked up, it was from the security desk. “Director, there’s a lady here with the surname of Jiang wishing to see you. She says if you refuse her, she will go to the Nian house.”
Nian Qingyun frowned. “Alright, let her in.”
Xiao Xue said, “Should I give the documents to Young Master?”
“What nonsense. Although I won’t try to break them up, I won’t support their relationship, either. The Xu family is a tangled mess. They spell trouble for me. That little bastard didn’t put in a single good word for me when his mother divorced me,” Nian Qingyun said angrily. “He can look for the information himself.”
Xiao Xue smiled. “True, Young Master will find the information sooner or later. He just might not be as fast.”
“Director, the Commissioner is looking for you.” Someone knocked at the door.
“Alright.” Nian Qingyun stood up. “You go down and fetch Jiang Qifei. Don’t let her wander around and disturb the new recruits.” He quickly walked out of the room. Xiao Xue went downstairs quickly as well. He bumped into Jiang Qifei at the staircase.
He brought her to the office and poured tea for her. “Please wait for a moment, the Director is attending to some matters.”
“Alright, you go on. Don’t mind me,” Jiang Qifei said.
Xiao Xue smiled politely and stood beside her. Suddenly, someone called and notified him that a new batch of logistics had arrived, and he had to be there to verify the details, finally leaving Jiang Qifei alone in the room.
Jiang Qifei finished her tea, and Nian Qingyun was still nowhere in sight. She walked around the room, and when she walked towards the desk, she began flipping through the documents on the table out of boredom. She was stunned when she saw a picture of Xu Luosang.
She flipped through the file and was stunned. She quickly fished out her phone and snapped a few photos of the document before sitting down on the sofa again.
Nian Qingyun walked through the door at five o’clock.
“Qingyun.” Jiang Qifei stood up immediately.
“Sit, sit.” Nian Qingyun gestured for her to take a seat and took the seat opposite her. “Are you here to talk to me about Shuangwei?”
