Chapter 178: Chapter 178: Headshot

Chen Xinwan and Nan Qiao went shopping together, bought quite a few items, and both servants had their hands full and could carry no more.

Chen Xinwan, dressed in the clothes Nan Qiao had given her, walked through the mall, attracting many backward glances.

Some of the bolder onlookers came right up and asked Chen Xinwan where she had bought her clothes.

Whenever this happened, Chen Xinwan would proudly say, "This is a piece my daughter made for me by hand, it’s not purchased."

These people greatly admired Chen Xinwan for having such an outstanding daughter and praised Nan Qiao in their comments.

Chen Xinwan walked alongside Nan Qiao, pride clearly visible in her eyes.

Nan Qiao glanced at the servants following behind and whispered, "Mom, let’s not buy anymore, we’ve bought too much already."

"Okay, if my darling Qiaoqiao tells me not to buy, I won’t buy anymore. I heard there’s a tea tucked away in an alley nearby, my darling Qiaoqiao, let’s go have a drink together, it’s my treat."

"Okay."

Chen Xinwan asked the servants to take the stuff back first and happily went with Nan Qiao to find the tea shop.

...

Nan Qiao moved forward and heard a familiar voice.

"Let go! We don’t owe you anything! If you dare come over, I’ll call the police!"

Rong Miao’s voice was sharply piercing, filled with angry resentment.

Nan Qiao hurried forward and saw a dirty man grabbing Rong Miao’s arm, glaring at her fiercely.

"Rong Miao, your dad owes me money, and you must pay it! If you don’t, I’ll sell you off!"

Rong Miao shouted back, "The money my dad owes you, go ask him for it, why are you coming to me!"

"A father’s debt is a son’s to bear, both you and Rong Yan need to pay it! That five million dollars, give it to me now!"

Rong Miao desperately tried to break free, her arm turning bright red.

Rong Miao’s uncle, Rong Xin, also tried to grab her but Nan Qiao arrived just in time.

"Stop!"

Rong Xin turned his head and saw Nan Qiao and Chen Xinwan, speaking resentfully, "What, are you two going to help her pay off the debt?"

Rong Miao: "Keep dreaming! My brother and I have disowned your brother! His debts have nothing to do with us!"

Nan Qiao: "Call the police."

Rong Xin: "Go ahead and call the police! It’s perfect, let the police see who is evading debts! I can’t find their father, so I can only come to Rong Miao and Rong Yan."

Rong Miao said, "I’ll say it again, that debt has nothing to do with me."

"You sold off your shares, how can you possibly have no money!"

"Exactly, the shares were sold to pay off debts! Do you have any idea how much money your good brother borrowed? I’m telling you now, want money, there’s none, want a life, here’s one."

Rong Miao turned to Nan Qiao and said, "Sister Qiaoqiao, let’s leave quickly, no point talking to a mad dog."

Nan Qiao nodded and told Rong Miao and Chen Xinwan to leave first while she covered the rear.

Furious, Rong Xin picked up a nearby wine bottle and threw it at Nan Qiao.

Nan Qiao, quick as ever, turned her head and kicked the bottle away.

The bottle flew up then came back down, caught securely by Nan Qiao.

Clink.

Nan Qiao delivered a forceful blow to the head.

Blood flowed down from Rong Xin’s head; Rong Miao, scared, covered her mouth, not daring to shout.

What if someone saw that it was Nan Qiao who had cracked open Rong Xin’s head, what if they called the police!

Chen Xinwan also felt attracted by Nan Qiao’s impressive move, overwhelmed with shock.

Qiaoqiao’s combat skills were too good!

Originally she had hired a bodyguard to protect Nan Qiao, but looking at the situation now, did her beloved daughter really need a bodyguard’s protection?

Chen Xinwan hurried over: "Qiaoqiao, quickly put the bottle down, be careful not to hurt your hand. I’m going to call your dad now to handle the aftermath."

Nan Qiao: "No need, I’ll call a friend of mine to handle it. I just happen to know someone within the system; he wanted to find someone within the system, right? Perfect time, they should meet, and while at it, let Miaomiao sue him too."

Rong Miao’s eyes sparkled with little red hearts.

Rong Miao: "My pants, my shoes, oh my brother, my sister. Sister Qiaoqiao, you’re too cool!"

Nan Qiao gave a helpless smile: "Alright, let’s hurry up and leave. I’ll introduce you to a suitable lawyer, take up the legal weapon to protect yourself. The IOU your father signed without your knowledge has nothing to do with you."

Nan Qiao’s words lifted Rong Miao’s spirits instantly.

"Sister Qiaoqiao, you always handle these complicated matters so calmly. Sister Qiaoqiao, how are you so amazing?"

Nan Qiao looked towards Chen Xinwan with a bright smile: "Because I’m my mom’s daughter, my mom is a powerful woman, of course I take after my mom."

Chen Xinwan paused, then smiled warmly.

"Qiaoqiao, you have indeed surpassed your teacher."

Nan Qiao smiled knowingly and the three of them left the alley together.

...

Rong Miao invited Nan Qiao and Chen Xinwan for a meal, but was turned down.

Nan Qiao said, "I still have things to handle, maybe next time."

Rong Miao nodded and had no choice but to leave first.

Nan Qiao saw Chen Xinwan off in her car but didn’t go with her.

"I still have things to handle, I’ll come back later. Mom, you head home first, be careful on the road."

Chen Xinwan held Nan Qiao’s hand: "Qiaoqiao, share your burdens with the family, don’t bear them alone. Remember, you have a home now. Our family will always support you."

Nan Qiao nodded: "I know, I will, don’t worry."

Nan Qiao watched Chen Xinwan drive away, then left herself.

...

Nan Qiao arrived at the laboratory where Zheng Qinnian spoke upon seeing her: "We found traces of a poisonous insect in the soup."

The sample Nan Qiao had brought was a soup Bai Yurou had meticulously prepared for Bai Jingting.

"Who knows if a poisonous insect crawled into Bai Yurou’s stomach; she sends such a big gift as soon as my brother comes home, a cornered dog will indeed jump the wall."

A glint of murderous intent flashed across Zheng Qinnian’s deep eyes, his tone unruffled: "Should we make Bai Yurou leave the Bai Family?"

"Not just yet, keeping Bai Yurou under close watch lets us know her every move."

Zheng Qinnian nodded in agreement.

"Bai Yurou is malicious at heart; we still haven’t discovered who she’s in contact with," Zheng Qinnian frowned deeply.

Nan Qiao consoled, "No rush, my presence in the Bai Family has disrupted Bai Yurou’s plans. I’m curious how she’ll handle things moving forward."

Mistakes were made, and they would reveal flaws.

Acts done could not leave no traces.

Zheng Qinnian took a bottle of medicine from a cabinet in the lab: "Here’s the medicine you requested; it’s ready."

"Thank you," Nan Qiao took it and put it in her backpack.

"Any news from Xiao Yu? She went to an auction; how could she disappear? If these people were targeting me, they should have contacted me by now." Nan Qiao furrowed her brows, deeply worried.

"The men I sent haven’t brought back any news yet, and no news is good news. Si Yu is skilled and sharp; she surely won’t be harmed."

Nan Qiao stood up: "I’ll send another team to look for Xiao Yu."

Nan Qiao strode briskly outside.
