Chapter 513: Chapter 513: Kind of Interesting

Situ Jue laughed, laughed like a fox that had stolen a taste of cream, his eyes turning into attractive crescents. "Niannian, look at me and say that again."

Qi Nian, "Situ Jue, do you really like me this much?"

As she spoke, she was visibly annoyed, her cheeks puffing out slightly, even if Situ Jue had any dissatisfaction, it was defeated by such a cute demeanor. Helplessly, he lowered his head, his forehead resting against hers, rubbing gently.

His voice carried a coaxing and pleasing tone, "Niannian, what about considering the matter of marrying me? Look, I’m already thirty-two this year. If I don’t get married soon, what if you later despise me for being old? Niannian, are you really that heartless?"

If he had been a bit more forceful, a bit more unreasonable, maybe Qi Nian would have stubbornly resisted all the way to the end.

But with him speaking in such a cute and pleasing manner, Qi Nian had no defenses, "Don’t be like that, speak properly."

Situ Jue, "Even my future wife doesn’t like to look at me, what benefits do I get from speaking properly?"

Qi Nian was at a loss for words, "Alright, alright, alright, marriage, marriage, if we’re going to marry, then let’s do it. But if you dare to treat me badly, I’ll immediately go and... with you..."

"Don’t say it."

Situ Jue quickly covered Qi Nian’s mouth and pulled her into his embrace, "Hurry up and rest a bit; I’ll leave once I finish this work."

"Alright then."

What Situ Jue absolutely had not expected was to receive a sudden call about an investigation regarding Zhizhi. As for Xie Cheng’s call, he hadn’t anticipated any issues, thinking it was just Xie Cheng’s habitual official complaints, like saying he had been recently idling and mocking him for it.

After connecting, having listened to the content, Situ Jue’s expression didn’t look any better. Qi Nian, seeing that his expression was off after the call, looked at him worriedly, "What’s wrong, has something happened?"

"Yeah."

Qi Nian furrowed her brow, her little eyebrows knitting together, "What happened? Whose call was it?"

"Didn’t you want to sleep? Go rest, in the resting room."

The certain someone who wanted to sleep holding Qi Nian suddenly changed his approach, and instead of feeling at ease, Qi Nian felt even more nervous, not knowing what had happened to make him so angry.

Situ Jue always told Qi Nian everything, and he simply recounted the situation. Qi Nian became furious, "How can these people be so disgusting? Zhizhi is still so young, and they actually went to extort maliciously, I’m angry."

Situ Jue had been especially angry, but seeing someone even angrier than himself, his own anger suddenly seemed to dissipate somewhat. "Niannian, the evil in people’s hearts can’t withstand speculation, so don’t think everyone is kind-hearted."

Qi Nian, still angry, "So, what exactly did Xie Cheng give you to investigate?"

Situ Jue showed his computer screen to Qi Nian, "Just an email address for me to thoroughly investigate. Diyang Media has a dedicated department for analyzing and investigating these IDs, specifically catering to our company’s artists, to prevent them from being slandered. Otherwise, what do you think, why are there so few scandals exposed about Diyang’s artists? Of course, we don’t condone our artists doing bad things; what we worry about is that our artists, while living upright lives, suddenly get doused in mud out of the blue."

Qi Nian smiled, "I know, why explain so much? If I didn’t understand you, would I be dating you?"

Qi Nian was about to look away as she spoke, but suddenly, something came to mind, "Situ, wait a minute, this email address looks familiar to me. Even though it hasn’t appeared frequently, I just happen to remember it."

Situ Jue remained motionless, waiting for Qi Nian to slowly recall the memory, a case of effortless gain after much fruitless searching.

It just so happened that she had hit the nail on the head regarding Qi Nian’s investigation. The luck of the other party was incomparable.

Qi Nian quickly began to remember, "This email address was from a senior when I was in school. I heard her family was quite well-off, and I saw her use this email once."

"What’s her name?"

"Zhu Pingting." Qi Nian had a deep impression of her.

"That’s right, it’s Zhu Pingting. I heard her family has been in politics for generations, and they live in the Imperial Inscription Platform, a place that sounds somewhat familiar," said Qi Nian, unable to resist adding.

Situ Jue interjected with a comment, "Bo Yan’s parents also live in the Imperial Inscription Platform. But they reside in an even more private area, the Imperial Inscription Platform - Splendid Brocade."

After thinking it over carefully, Qi Nian added, "Her family is probably in the Imperial Inscription Platform - Hundred Flowers Brocade."

Situ Jue appeared pensive, but the key point still eluded him: Zhu Pingting could not possibly be familiar with Bo Yan, and when Bo Yan returned to the Imperial Inscription Platform, he wouldn’t have a face-to-face meeting with this person. So, why would she have Zhizhi’s photo?

And, did she have a grudge against Yuran?

Qi Nian still furrowed her brows, feeling that she was overlooking something important. Indeed, she had neglected a detail, "Situ, I remembered something, take a look at this."

Qi Nian took out her phone, scrolled through her social network, found Zhu Pingting’s profile, and handed it to Situ Jue, "A week ago, Zhu Pingting invited socialites to the Imperial Inscription Platform to attend her engagement party. Many people attended, including many seniors and juniors from school that I used to know,

The security of the Imperial Inscription Platform is tight, and it’s impossible to get into Splendid Brocade. So, is it possible that someone from Splendid Brocade came out on their own and someone seized the opportunity just then?"

That explained it: an engagement party with many people and lots of noise, as well as some with ulterior motives. It wouldn’t be surprising if something was captured on camera. Thus, it confirmed that this matter was connected to Zhu Pingting’s engagement ceremony, however slight the connection might be, it was the only lead to a breakthrough.

Situ Jue arranged things quickly on his end. A few phone calls later, the guest list from Zhu Pingting’s engagement party was already on his computer.

Of course, this was obtained through Bo Yan’s third brother’s connections. Bo Yan’s third brother made a call over, "Situ Jue, have you found something? Why do you need these materials? I’m telling you, delete them after you’re done."

While holding the phone, Situ Jue’s hand swiftly moved the mouse, "Third Young Master, I seem to have found something significant. Wait a moment, and I’ll send it to you. I saw a familiar face at Zhu Pingting’s engagement party."

Bo Yan’s third brother held his breath and asked, "Who?"

"Qin Yunong," Situ Jue said with a hint of playfulness, "Now we need to ask Zhu Pingting if Qin Yunong had ever used her computer that day. If so, then I’m a hundred percent certain that the message was sent by Qin Yunong."

Bo Yan’s third brother was furious, "Is the Qin Family treating the Bo Family as if we’re pushovers? Bullying us as they please?"

Situ Jue did not express any opinion on this matter, but it was something that needed confirming from Bo Yan’s third brother, "Third Young Master, I’ll have to trouble you. If you find anything, please let me know."

Bo Yan’s third brother responded, "Don’t worry, I’ll do my best on my end."
