Cheng Qing's face was filled with worry, and his deep eyes looked her up and down, as if he couldn't figure it out. His brows gradually furrowed, and when he looked at Song Nian again, he looked at her deeply.

He turned around in a circle, rubbing the back of his head in disbelief.

"That's strange, there was clearly no one here just now!"

He was quite sure of what he saw.

He is a lawyer and never doubts his own judgment. So the problem lies with Song Nian!

Cheng Qing didn't say anything else. He stared at the woman in front of him, waiting for her to speak.

"I, I wasn't here just now."

Song Nian was panicked for a moment, and she forced herself to calm down.

She didn't expect to meet Cheng Qing just after she came back. After her sudden departure, Cheng Qing and others would definitely be looking for her around. It was her negligence. She should have come back earlier.

Fortunately, I didn’t appear directly in front of Cheng Qing just now.

Looking at the scrutiny in his eyes, Song Nian knew that he had become suspicious.

"I rented a garage to store some miscellaneous items. Li Qiang just tried to do something bad to me, so I panicked and ran into the garage. I don't know why, but the electronic lock on the garage didn't work, and my phone was dead, so I was trapped inside."

Song Nian made an excuse. Although the series of coincidences seemed so clumsy, Cheng Qing did not doubt it.

"No wonder, the police officer and I have been looking for you for two hours, but we haven't seen you."

Indeed, they hadn't searched the closed garage door, and her cell phone was indeed turned off.

"Li Qiang didn't do anything to you, did he?"

Cheng Qing was sharp-eyed and noticed the slight wound on her neck. "Are you hurt?"

"Well, maybe I lost too much blood. I feel a little dizzy now. Brother Cheng, can I go back first?"

Song Nian covered her neck which was scratched by Li Qiang. The blood was no longer oozing, but the sight of blood was heartbreaking, especially since it looked so glaring on her fair neck.

"I'll take you to the hospital."

As Cheng Qing was saying this, he was about to go get the car, but was rejected by Song Nian.

"There's a medicine box at home, I can do it myself. How are Zhao Qian and Li Qiang?"

Cheng Qing saw that he couldn't persuade her, so he personally sent her back. In the elevator, he fumbled in his pocket and said, "When we caught Zhao Qian, she was still writing slanderous posts about you, secretly taking photos of you and slandering you, and even selling them to the Song Group's rivals. This behavior constitutes a crime, and I will personally accuse her later. As an adult, you must pay the price for your actions."

Seeing Cheng Qing take out a Band-Aid from his pocket, Song Nian thanked him.

"Thank you for looking for you all night, or thank you for this expired Band-Aid?"

Hearing this, Song Nian was suddenly startled. Cheng Qing laughed muffledly, "Li Qiang's guilt is needless to say, with the addition of kidnapping and attempted crime, you won't see him for a while."

The elevator arrived at the floor, the elevator door opened, and Song Nian walked out. Seeing that Cheng Qing didn't intend to follow, she turned around and asked, "Will you treat Brother Cheng to dinner some other day?"

"Okay, I'm always available."

As soon as he finished speaking, the elevator door closed, and the smile on Cheng Qing's face disappeared visibly.

Even after returning to the car, Cheng Qing was still immersed in the scene of meeting Song Nian just now.

At that time, he planned to look around one last time and give up if he couldn't find anyone. But as soon as he turned around, Song Nian had his back to her and seemed to be running hurriedly from somewhere.

He didn't ask where Song Nian's rental garage was, nor did he verify that the hacked phone in her pocket was actually turned off. He didn't even check the garage lock to see how she got out if the battery was dead. He was a lawyer, and he'd trust his client first, but he just felt something was amiss.

Suddenly thinking of something, he immediately turned around, and sure enough, less than twenty meters behind the car, a familiar stylish sports car appeared in the rearview mirror.

It’s the Zhou family’s car.

Although Zhou Hui had changed his car, there wasn't a single low-key car in the Zhou family. Why did he always follow Song Nian silently?

Even if a man likes a woman, he doesn't have to follow her around all day long. Isn't that abnormal?

The only explanation is that Zhou Hui was not spying, but secretly protecting Song Nian?

Magistrate and county government.

When Zhao Li hurried over, the people had already dispersed. He flew over the main gate and stood in front of Sun Xian.

"Your Excellency, please stay."

"How dare you, a mere yamen runner, block my path? Besides, the main gate is right here. You're an official, not a bandit. Do you really have to climb over the wall?"

Although Sun Xian shouted loudly, there was no trace of blame on his face.

"Tell me, what do you want from me?"

"I heard that a goddess came to Huai Village to help the villagers?" Zhao Li said bluntly.

"So what?" Sun Xian raised his chin proudly, then lowered his posture and asked, "Why, you saw it too?"

"If I had seen it, I wouldn't have come to ask you if it was related to Qi Yu?"

Seeing Zhao Li speak directly, Sun Xian didn't hide anything. "I guess so. Hey, what kind of extraordinary ability does His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have? Is that girl really a deity?"

When Zhao Lizhi heard the word "God", he hated himself for coming too late.

If I had known earlier, I should have ridden my horse faster so that I could see the god with my own eyes. Maybe Qi Yu has never even seen the god's face!

Forget it, forget it, we’ll definitely have a chance to see each other next time.

"Sir, Huai Village and its surrounding areas are gradually improving thanks to our greenhouse technology, but the bad news is that Japanese pirates are rampant. For three consecutive days, I've discovered that someone has been secretly spying and doing bad things. To be on the safe side, I plan to do something practical."

"What are you going to do?"

Seeing Zhao Li's eyes rolling around, with a look of ill intention, Sun Xian held him down and said, "You are just a small exiled yamen runner, you are not an imperial envoy, Zhao Li, I am warning you..."

"Don't you want to return to the Imperial Capital?"

Zhao Li's interruption left Sun Xian speechless.

he thinks.

Isn't he trying hard? As long as Huai Village gets better, his reputation will spread like Qi Yu's, and the emperor will summon him and the deposed crown prince together.

"But the Emperor didn't summon me!"

"How long do I have to wait for the Emperor? My Lord, I can't wait any longer. Qi Yu has joined the military camp, and he will definitely make great achievements. As for the two of us, it's uncertain when we can wait. So, I plan to do something. I have already made arrangements for the exile. Are you willing to help me?"

Sun Xian was stunned and said nothing.

Zhao Li did not force it. "Don't worry, sir. If this succeeds, I will never forget you. If it fails, I will never implicate you."

"What if something happens to you?"

He originally thought that Sun Xian rejected him because he didn't want to take risks, but it turned out that he was worried about his safety.

Zhao Lixin vowed, "I will definitely come back alive."

Who can say for sure about matters of life and death?

He said that if you can live, then you can live? Who wants to die?

Sun Xian felt a little sad.

Qi Yu and Zhao Li were both leaving, leaving him alone in Huai Village.

"Well, I'll take a risk with you!"
