After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

At that moment, the light turned green, and the sound of a car horn came from behind.

Ji Chiqian snapped out of his daze and quickly drove away.

Lu Ning glanced at him, and just as she was about to ask, her phone rang.

She quickly answered the call and put it on speakerphone: "Ms. Li, what's the situation?"

"We just discovered that the money Qin Xiang transferred out has disappeared."

"Disappeared? What do you mean?"

Lu Ning's heart sank: "Did Qin Xiang's father transfer that money?"

"It's still uncertain, but we've already sent people to track down the whereabouts of that money."

Li Man never expected that, even at this point, someone would still be asking about the whereabouts of that money.

Ji Chiqian's voice was extremely cold and sharp: "What are you all doing? You didn't even notice this?"

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ji. It was our oversight. We thought that since the person had run away, he would definitely try to hide. We didn't expect him to be so bold as to transfer the money away."

Li Man's voice was filled with tension; it was indeed their mistake.

Ji Chiqian said coldly, "Investigate! Find that person's whereabouts by any means necessary!"

"Yes."

Li Man hung up the phone immediately.

Lu Ning looked at her phone, thought for a moment, and said, "Go back to my apartment, I'll find it myself."

If the other party transfers the money, they will definitely leave a trace.

Ji Chiqian stepped on the gas and quickly returned to the apartment that Lu Ning had previously bought.

Lu Ning took off her shoes and rushed barefoot into the study to turn on the computer.

She also called Li Man: "Send me the data."

"immediately."

Lu Ning kept her eyes on the computer, her fingers flying across the keyboard.

Ji Chiqian changed his shoes and came in, carrying a pair of slippers. He went to Lu Ning's side, bent down and helped her put on the slippers.

Lu Ning was completely focused on the computer screen and didn't notice what was happening outside.

Ji Chiqian watched Lu Ning's actions from the side. He turned around and walked to the side to make a phone call. He always felt that this matter was not so simple.

I feel like something has been overlooked.

Is Qin Xiang's father really that powerful? He suddenly disappeared and managed to transfer the money away!

Lu Ning sat in front of the computer for several hours, almost without stopping, but she eventually caught up with the black market.

That money was taken away in two separate transactions.

Money transferred from a typical hot water dispenser is very difficult to recover, and it's also very difficult to trace the person behind it based on the account details.

"Let's take a break."

Ji Chiqian placed a glass of water beside her: "The other party was obviously well prepared."

"I just can't understand why Qin Xiang's father would abandon his cousin like that. Isn't he afraid that the other party will reveal his secret?"

"So I also think there's a problem."

Ji Chiqian looked at Lu Ning: "But we've caught them red-handed, which means we have leverage over them."

“That’s right. This mechanic has a close relationship with Mrs. Mo. Some time ago, Mrs. Mo went to see this mechanic and we don’t know what we talked about.”

Lu Ning pursed her lips: "It won't be long before Madam Mo finds out that the mechanic had an accident."

Now the enemy will know that she has discovered their presence.

Finding more evidence later won't be so simple.

"So we need to strike first and find a way to test her."

Lu Ning nodded, only then noticing that she had put on shoes at some point.

Her heart warmed, knowing that Ji Chiqian must have put the shoes on her.

She looked up and met his calm eyes, her own eyes welling up with tears. How could she possibly control her feelings for him?

"What’s wrong with you?

When Ji Chiqian saw tears in her eyes, he couldn't help but reach out with a tissue, but she threw herself into his arms and clutched his clothes tightly with her fingers.

Lu Ning hugged the man in front of her tightly, closed her eyes, and tried not to think about anything.

Ji Chiqian's hand lingered in mid-air for a moment before gently landing on her shoulder.

He patted her on the back: "Are you hungry?"

He guessed that Lu Ning probably didn't eat anything at the wedding banquet.

Lu Ning shook her head: "I'm not hungry."

She had already eaten her fill before the banquet began.

Ji Chiqian gently patted her back: "Lu Ning, don't think too much."

"I know you don't need to give me those words of advice, I just want some peace and quiet."

She knew those principles, but she needed to adjust her emotions.

Ji Chiqian didn't say the words he was about to say.

He held the person in his arms, looking out at the night view, the lights of thousands of homes reflected in his eyes.

But he already owns one of those lamps.

Ji Chiqian held her for a while, then looked down at her tired appearance and said softly, "Go and rest."

He carried her straight to the bedroom.

Lu Ning sat on the edge of the bed: "I'm going to wash up."

"Go."

After Lu Ning finished washing up and changed into her pajamas, she came out and saw the man standing by the window, his back tall and slender.

She walked up to him and said, "Thank you for always being there for me."

"No need to thank me, because I will always be with you!"

His voice was calm, yet it stirred up a storm in Lu Ning's heart.

He patted her head: "If you want to sleep, don't think so much."

Ji Chiqian held her hand, watched her lie down, and covered her with a blanket.

Lu Ning looked at him expectantly, unable to resist grabbing his finger: "Can you stay with me tonight?"

She hoped she wouldn't be alone tonight.

Ji Chiqian's heart softened, and he nodded: "Okay."

He sat down beside her and held her hand.

Lu Ning thought for a moment, then hid half her face under the covers and said, "You can lie down next to me, otherwise it will be very uncomfortable."

"I'll lie down after you fall asleep."

Ji Chiqian reached out and covered her eyes: "Now go to sleep."

Lu Ning's vision went black, but she wasn't scared at all.

She held his hand and said, "Wait until I fall asleep before you leave."

"I do not go."

Ji Chiqian looked at her with deep eyes: I will always be with you.

Forever and ever!

Lu Ning thought she would have a dream, but in the end she didn't dream of anything, not even the car accident from back then.

She really wanted to know what happened in the car accident back then.

Unfortunately, she couldn't remember anything at all. All she could recall were the hands that had rescued her; they looked very young and definitely not those of a middle-aged man.

So there were other people present at the time.

When Lu Ning woke up, she turned her head and saw the man lying next to her. She noticed that he was frowning, as if he was thinking about something very important.

She couldn't help but reach out to trace his features; this man's appearance was pleasing to the eye no matter how you looked at him.

The next second, the man opened his eyes, grabbed her hand, and got up to approach her.

Lu Ning woke up immediately.

She looked at the familiar ceiling of the bedroom, then glanced at the spot beside her; Ji Chiqian was no longer there.

Was what I just experienced a dream?

Lu Ning glanced at the time; Ji Chiqian had sent her a message: [The food is on the table, don't worry too much.]

After washing up and changing her clothes, Lu Ning sat down at the dining table, which was filled with all her favorite foods.

Just then, her phone rang; it was an unknown number.

After thinking for a moment, Lu Ning answered the call and, sure enough, her second brother Lu Nanfeng's voice came through: "Ningning, how did your investigation go last night? Can we meet and talk?"

She said with a sneer, "What makes you think you can talk to me?"

"I'll talk to you about Qin Xiang's life, is that alright?"
