Chapter 499: Warned Not to Investigate

Chapter 499: Chapter 499: Warned Not to Investigate

"Fang Mo, still haven’t found where that car went?" Pei Liyan didn’t expect that the car Qiao Rui was in had vanished without a trace.

And on Gai Yin’s end, Pei Liyan also couldn’t get any useful information.

They chased for a while, and finally returned to the Qiao Family’s building.

Just at that moment, Gai Yin was getting off work.

She was originally going to drive from the parking basement, but as she was heading down, she received a call from Huo Sinan, saying Little Xingxing was here and he had brought the child to see her.

Gai Yin initially didn’t want to meet, but with Little Xingxing there, the thought of that child brought a rush of complex emotions to her heart.

Gai Yin could only come out first.

Huo Sinan himself was with his son, and upon seeing her, he opened the car door. Little Xingxing immediately got out of the car with his short legs and ran towards Gai Yin joyfully shouting, "Mom, Mom!"

Gai Yin bent down and embraced the child who threw himself at her.

"Slow down, you’re running way too fast. If you fall, that would be terrible." She squatted down to be at the child’s eye level and said these words seriously to him.

Little Xingxing giggled, his laughter like a silver bell, particularly pleasant to hear.

Seeing the child’s smiling face and hearing his laughter, Gai Yin instantly felt that the world was so pure.

The world of children is just that simple: eat well, drink well, play well, and they are happy. But the world of adults is filled with various worries.

Seeing Gai Yin holding Little Xingxing, Huo Sinan felt she was too gentle, as if this child were her own.

Huo Sinan’s gaze softened a bit, as he walked over and said, "Off work?"

Upon hearing Huo Sinan’s voice, Gai Yin immediately frowned. "Mr. Huo coming without being invited, so impolite."

Briefly taken aback by the rebuke, Huo Sinan didn’t get angry but just smiled, "Where’s President Qiao? Did he leave after work?"

Gai Yin glanced indifferently at Huo Sinan and said, "Our President Qiao had something to attend to and left first."

"Oh, then you’re free now." Huo Sinan chuckled.

Gai Yin frowned, her voice icy without a trace of emotion, "I’m always quite free. Our CEO gives us a lot of freedom. I wonder what Mr. Huo wants to say."

Huo Sinan paused, looking at Gai Yin’s expression, with the afterglow of the sunset outlining a cold and indifferent face, full of impatience.

Huo Sinan sighed internally; it seemed he had hurt this girl, causing her heartache. Even if she lost her memories, she still resented him.

He didn’t mind Gai Yin’s attitude and quickly said, "I’m sorry, Miss Gai, I expressed myself poorly, don’t take it to heart."

Gai Yin lowered her eyes, not even sparing him a glance, only softening her demeanor entirely when facing Little Xingxing.

Thick-skinned, Huo Sinan said, "Gai Yin, get in the car. Let’s find a place to eat. I’ll have my assistant bring over your car."

"Mr. Huo can go eat himself. I’ll take your son to eat," Gai Yin said.

Huo Sinan froze for a moment, being left out like that.

That felt a bit cold and heartless.

He immediately said to Little Xingxing, "Little Xingxing, your mom says she’s taking you to eat without letting Dad join. What are we going to do? Do you want to plead for Dad, so Mom can take Dad too?"

Little Xingxing listened, his big eyes twinkling. He looked at Gai Yin’s indifferent face and then at Huo Sinan’s pitiful look, and immediately opened his mouth to plead with Gai Yin. "Mom, let’s take Dad along. It’s so pitiful for Dad to eat alone."

"Exactly, it’s indeed pitiful for Dad to eat alone, and if Dad comes, he can pay for the meal, right?"

"Yes, Mom, can we take Dad along?" Little Xingxing pleaded again.

To have a child plead on his behalf, he sure was cunning.

Gai Yin slightly frowned. Facing the child’s expectant eyes, she swallowed back the words she wanted to say.

There was nothing she could say to refuse.

"Can we?" Little Xingxing shook Gai Yin’s hand, pleading again. "Let’s go together."

Gai Yin sighed and said, "Okay, let’s eat together."

"Oh, great." The little guy clapped his hands happily and did not forget to proudly look at Huo Sinan, showing off to Dad that he convinced Mom.

Huo Sinan was also quite helpless.

Back then, when he was pursuing Gai Yin, none of this was necessary. He was very popular among women and never had to lower himself to use a child to plead.

Now it’s different; Gai Yin wouldn’t even bother with him.

This made Huo Sinan particularly frustrated.

As the saying goes, times change.

He used to be so glorious, and now he’s so dejected.

Huo Sinan opened the car door and smiled, "Get in."

Gai Yin and the child got in the back, settling the child in the safety seat, then sat beside the child.

In front, Huo Sinan was a dutiful driver.

They drove away.

Not far away, Fang Mo and Pei Liyan watched this scene without stepping forward to interrupt.

"President, Assistant Gu left first; it seems Madam won’t be returning any time soon," Fang Mo deduced.

Pei Liyan nodded. "Let someone check where that car went; we’ll wait for news."

"Yes." Fang Mo nodded.

Shortly after, the phone rang.

Fang Mo immediately answered the call, and news came from the other end. "Assistant Fang, our client asked to track where that car’s license plate passed, but the police called to warn us that it’s not a car we can check."

"What do you mean?" Fang Mo was puzzled, "Why did it alarm the police?"

"We happened to ask the traffic police to check the surveillance, but we’re told that checking this car isn’t allowed."

Fang Mo turned his head instinctively to Pei Liyan.

Pei Liyan was also stunned.

It seemed that the car’s background was quite extraordinary.

Being warned straight away by the police not to investigate definitely meant something.

Pei Liyan frowned slightly.

Fang Mo commented, "You can’t investigate secretly? Did we have to make it so obvious?"

"Assistant Fang, we were investigating secretly, but the traffic police found out anyway when we accessed surveillance footage, that’s why we got warned."

Fang Mo was at a loss too; if they couldn’t check, then they couldn’t. He immediately instructed coldly, "Then think of other ways; you must find that car."

"No need to check anymore!" Pei Liyan said sternly.

Fang Mo was confused, but since Pei Liyan ordered so, he immediately said, "Then we won’t check."

After hanging up the phone, Fang Mo looked at Pei Liyan and asked, "President, how about we quietly use private channels to investigate?"

"No." Pei Liyan thought it was best not to let too many people know about Qiao Rui’s matter.

He’s been patiently waiting for Qiao Rui to speak up. He believed that as long as he waited patiently, one day Qiao Rui would be honest with him.

Fang Mo immediately said, "Yes."

"Let’s go back," Pei Liyan said, "Go home and wait; she will return on her own."

Fang Mo, although unsure why the president said so, nevertheless nodded and drove home.

Elsewhere, dinner was still ongoing.

Qiao Rui rarely spoke at the table, not knowing how to respond to what the old man said.

But Chi Yu was constantly speaking up for her and helping her out.

"So Pei Liyan is Wen Xiaomei’s savior, now I understand. Wen Xiaomei is someone who values relationships and loyalty, and such a person is quite rare and precious."
