C18 We Are Thwarted in Our Investigation

With great difficulty, Yuan Lanqing seized this opportunity to discuss the matter of marriage with Young Noble Qin.

Now that she had already raised her head, how could she be willing to let it go? She couldn't help but let out a soft 'tsk', as she quickly caught up to Young Noble Qin.

"Young Viscount, your mother told you …"

A hand lightly rested on the door handle, Qin Shaowen stopped in his tracks.

He slowly looked back at Yuan Lanqing. His eyes were as deep as water. "Mom, I am already an adult. I know what I should do."

After pausing for a moment, he seemed to have thought of something, and a layer of shallow ripples appeared in his calm eyes.

He gave Yuan Lanqing a serious look and then lightly added, "Mom, please don't find trouble with Luo Xiao Xiao."

Luo Xiao Xiao?

Hearing this strange name, Yuan Lanqing couldn't help being taken aback.

Noticing the confusion in her eyes, Qin Shaotan coughed lightly: "After her divorce, she changed her name."

"Oh." A thin layer of mist seemed to have covered Yuan Lan Qing's eyes. She muttered to herself, nodding her head. "I forgot, her mother's surname is Luo."

Yuan Lan Qing muttered to herself somewhat soullessly. Her appearance was a little strange that she could not explain.

Young Noble Qin swept a glance, but didn't take this matter to heart.

"Mom, I still have some work to do. Why don't you go back to your room to rest?" With that, he turned and entered the study.

Yuan Lanqing, who stood at the door for a while, went back to her room silently.

As the sound of footsteps gradually receding could be heard, the frown on Qin Shao-Jue's forehead slowly loosened.

With large strides, he walked straight to the desk.

He opened the top drawer and found a ring inside.

— This was what he had pulled up from Luo Xiao Xiao's neck.

He gently traced his finger across the ring, and a profound light flashed in his eyes.

Thinking about how nervous Luo Xiao Xiao looked after the ring was taken away by him, Young Noble Qin couldn't help but sneer.

The remains of his dead husband?

Did Luo Xiao Xiao really think he was blind? He had personally chosen this ring.

Luo Xiaoxiao, didn't you say that you didn't care about her anymore? Then why did he need to wear this ring?

As he recalled the scene in the meeting room today, the cold smile on his face grew even more pronounced.

Wasn't Luo Xiaoxiao very principled?

However, Luo Xiao Xiao Xiao's attitude changed as soon as he said he wanted to break the partnership between the two of them.

She wondered if she was valuing this collaboration or something else.

Thinking of this, Qin Shaotong involuntarily clutched the ring in his hand. The water horn on the surface of the ring suddenly stung his palm...

At that moment, his phone suddenly rang.

Ye Zichen glanced at the caller ID, then let go of the ring.

The ring slipped out from his palm and landed on the desk.

He picked up his phone, got up and walked to the French window.

"Do you have any idea what I told you to do?" As soon as he picked up the phone, he spoke straightforwardly.

Hearing this, the person on the other end of the phone gasped.

"Chairman Qin, we didn't find anything." The man was short of breath.

"Nothing?" He murmured to himself as his eyes narrowed dangerously.

This... How is this possible?

Young Noble Qin's tone was far too dangerous, and the person on the other end of the line seemed to be a little weak: "Luo Xiao Xiao's past has been deliberately erased by someone, probably to obstruct our investigation."

Obstructing him from investigating Luo Xiao Xiao's past? Luo Xiao Xiao shouldn't have the ability to do so.

With a dangerous glint in his long and narrow eyes, Young Noble Qin suddenly thought of that man who claimed to be Luo Xiao Xiao Xiao's fiancé.

Qi Zhen?

Did he have such great ability?

With a smirk, he ordered, "Continue the investigation!"

After a slight pause, he lightly added, "Those who helped Luo Xiao Xiao wipe out those matters, investigate them properly for me."

After hanging up, he stared out of the window into the deep night.

Deliberately erasing the past and obstructing his investigation?

Luo Xiao Xiao, what exactly do you want to hide?

"..."

On the other side, Luo Xiaoxiao was completely unaware of what had happened in the Qin family.

After coaxing Luo Ke Ran to sleep, she slowed down her pace and quietly left the room.

There was a squeak.

She pushed open the french windows of the balcony.

It was late at night, but the opposite floor was still brightly lit.

She carelessly fixed her gaze on one spot. Unknowingly, her thoughts drifted far away …

"But I think, after all these years of investigating, he should have more things on his hands than we do."

It was as if he had pressed the replay button. Qi Zhengleng's voice resounded in her mind over and over again, and she couldn't get rid of it. She couldn't wait to know what was in Young Noble Qin's hand.

But how could he obtain these from the hands of Qin Shaotan?

She really … Not a clue.

Her slender fingers bent slightly as she lightly tapped her temple time and time again. She was extremely vexed.

Luo Xiao Xiao's cellphone in her pajamas pocket vibrated. She absent-mindedly took out her cell phone to take a look.

This was a message from the secretary of the Qin Family.

It said that Qin Shaotong wanted to find out how the interview was progressing in real time so that she could report to the Qin group tomorrow.

The light from her cell phone shone brightly in her eyes.

Reading the contents of the message word by word, Luo Xiao coldly smiled.

If Qin Shaotong wanted to target her, wasn't his actions a bit too obvious?

She tapped the screen lightly with her finger, trying to think of a reply.

A thought suddenly formed in her mind.

— — Young Viscount Qin wanted her to write a script in the Qin group. So, she should have the opportunity to get close to his computer?

— If she could copy the information about her parents from the computer, then …

With a thought, she mysteriously replied, "Okay."

The next day, when Luo Xiao Xiao brought the documents over, the secretary had already arranged a small conference room for her.

The conference room was only a few steps away from Qin Shaotong's office.

"Editor-in-Chief Luo, if there's anything you need, feel free to tell me." The secretary stood by the door and looked at Luo Xiao Xiao with a wide smile.

"Thank you. I don't need anything at the moment." Luo Xiao Xiao politely replied with a smile.

The person in front of her was the secretary of the Duke of Qin, if she was really being so outrageous, who knew what kind of explanation she would come up with.

After all … She was asked to write in the conference room.

This was already unusual for the employees of the company, wasn't it?
