Chapter 528: Man? Old Man?

Chapter 528: Chapter 528: Man? Old Man?

Nan Qiao and Li Yehan returned home.

Nan Qiao took off her life-saving down jacket, and Li Yehan hung up his coat.

"Qiaoqiao, did you find anything in Mei Tian Sha Zi’s room?"

Nan Qiao sat down, and Li Yehan handed her a cup of hot water.

Nan Qiao took a sip. The hot water indeed felt quite comforting.

Nan Qiao held the hot water with both hands, her palms warmed up, and her body felt much more comfortable.

"I’m not sure either. What I collected, Old Liu has sent to the lab. We’ll know the specifics when the test results come back."

Li Yehan sat next to Nan Qiao, put on gloves, and took a small bag out of his pocket.

Then, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket.

"Li Yehan, what is this?"

Nan Qiao set down the cup, intensely curious.

Nan Qiao pulled out a few sheets of paper and placed them on the table.

Li Yehan flattened the note, on which were several series of numbers.

Li Yehan said, "I found it in the trash can. It wasn’t fully burned, so I brought it back."

Nan Qiao didn’t touch it with her hands but instead connected the series of numbers together.

"Morse code, huh." For now, Nan Qiao hadn’t figured out what these numbers corresponded to in text.

Li Yehan said, "No rush, we can study it later."

Li Yehan put the note back, removed his gloves, and went to the bathroom to thoroughly wash his hands.

Finally, he took a shower to feel safer.

After Li Yehan finished showering and was drying his hair with a towel.

When he walked out, he saw Nan Qiao lying in bed, already asleep.

Li Yehan went over, turned off the bedside lamp, and went to the next room to blow dry his hair.

After doing all of this, Li Yehan stood by the heater until he felt warm, and then hugged Nan Qiao to sleep.

...

When Chen Xinwan went downstairs, Grandpa Bai and Granny Bai were doing Tai Chi in the garden.

Seeing Chen Xinwan come over, Granny Bai stopped her movements.

"Wanwan, do you know about Old Bai rushing back last night?"

Chen Xinwan: ?

Such an important matter, how could she not know?

"Mom, I haven’t heard. What’s going on, tell me quickly."

Granny Bai said, "I also heard it from the kid Nan Shan. He said Old Li led Yehan and Qiaoqiao out of the house late at night."

"Nan Shan went too?" Chen Xinwan was extremely surprised.

"The kid is well-behaved. He didn’t dare to go; he pretended to be asleep to avoid worrying Qiaoqiao. But in reality, he saw the three of them leave with his own eyes."

Just then, Nan Shan arrived.

Granny Bai waved her hand, and Nan Shan, looking like an obedient little puppy, ran over with slightly messy hair.

"Good morning." Nan Shan was obedient and polite.

Granny Bai patted his head and said happily, "Nan Shan is really obedient."

Nan Shan blushed and smiled shyly, like an innocent little puppy.

Chen Xinwan lowered her voice and asked, "Nan Shan, tell Auntie what happened last night?"

Nan Shan mimicked Chen Xinwan’s tone, lowering his voice to speak, "Auntie, here’s what happened. Last night I was on the balcony and saw Master taking Nan Qiao and that old man. The three of them left in a hurry. I heard that man say it’s fine even if the door lock is picked."

Chen Xinwan: ??

Man?

Old man?

After a while, Chen Xinwan realized.

Man = Li Yehan

Old man = Old Mr. Li.

Chen Xinwan nearly laughed out loud: "Silly child, you should call Old Mr. Li ’Grandpa Li.’ Next time you see him, make sure to call him that. As for Yehan, you can call him Master or Uncle."

Otherwise, people might think he’s impolite.

Nan Shan is Nan Qiao’s disciple, and for Nan Qiao’s sake, Chen Xinwan also cared for him.

Nan Shan’s expression instantly turned into an angry face.

"I don’t like him; I don’t want to call him." Nan Shan walked away angrily.

"This kid." Chen Xinwan laughed, "Is he worried about Qiaoqiao being bullied?"

Granny Bai: "He’s just jealous. He can’t adapt to Qiaoqiao being married, and he’s not in a good mood."

Chen Xinwan expressed some concern: "The house was broken into in the middle of the night; I wonder if Uncle Li’s family had anything stolen. I’ll go see if Qiaoqiao is up and ask her."

As Chen Xinwan walked, she called Bai Jingting.

"Boss, listen to me. Last night, a thief broke into your Grandpa Li’s home. This thief is so bold, wanting to steal something. We don’t know if anything was taken. Don’t head to work yet; check the house thoroughly before leaving."

"Hanging up now, I’ll go check on things."

Bai Jingting hung up the phone, woke up his two brothers from bed.

Bai Zhenyang saw Bai Jingting dragging each brother in one hand and instinctively touched the back of his neck.

If he had been sleeping, would he have been dragged up as well?

Faced with his eldest son, who surpassed even the best, Bai Zhenyang felt that he would indeed do such a thing.

Bai Jingyan and Bai Jingrui slumped in their chairs, looking exhausted.

Bai Jingrui: "Bro, I just got home at 4 a.m., and only went to sleep at 5. Now it’s 7 in the morning, and you’ve dragged me up; you’d better have something important!"

Bai Jingyan: "Even though I slept earlier than Lao San, Bro, what’s the matter?"

Their spirits thoroughly drained, the two brothers naturally looked at Bai Jingting.

Bai Jingting relayed the information he’d heard, and Bai Jingyan and Bai Jingrui were no longer sleepy.

Bai Zhenyang put down his magazine, dumbfounded.

"Boss, we need to get moving quickly. Check all doors and windows, inspect every entrance and exit. Plus, Qiaoqiao’s lab needs a thorough check."

Saying this, the four got busy.

Liu Feng brought breakfast over, heard the news, and patted her chest in assurance.

"Master, Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, Third Young Master. Leave the kitchen and garden to me; I won’t let you down."

Liu Feng sprang into action.

Liu Feng held a dog-hitting stick, quite fierce.

"The kitchen is a critical area; no idlers allowed. Xiu’er, remember that."

The woman called Xiu’er was 27, divorced without children, honest and fair, with no duplicity or laziness, beloved by Liu Feng.

"Mrs. Liu, rest assured. I’ve logged every person entering and leaving the kitchen. Even if a fly flies in, I’ll identify if it’s male or female!"

Liu Feng nodded in satisfaction: "Very good."

Liu Feng’s tone sharply changed, becoming stern: "And all of you, tighten up. If I find out you’re colluding with outsiders, you’ll be dealt with severely! If I discover any of you leaking information, you’ll face more than just losing your job."

Liu Feng’s words were long-winded, and none below dared to make a sound.

"Alright, get to work! Work well, and our young lady will not mistreat you."

Liu Feng took out her phone and sent a video to Nan Qiao.

"Young Miss, I’ve already spoken to them. If they dare to make mistakes, it’s as if they are against the Bai Family. The kind of life they lead depends on their own choices!"
