Chapter 434: Catching an “Adulterer”
Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations
The meal with Murong Qiao could be said to be the happiest meal Nan Jin had eaten in recent times.
The girl who wanted to strike up a conversation with him hesitated and didn’t dare to go forward.
However, there would always be a time when they finished eating. Nan Jin also had to bid farewell to his Little Sister.
“Then, it’s getting late. I’ll go home.” Nan Jin raised his hand and touched the back of his head.
He used his actions to hide his reluctance and sadness and took this opportunity to take a few more glances at his Little Sister.
The smile on Nan Jin’s face had yet to fade. He stood at the entrance of the restaurant, his eyes sparkling in the darkness behind him. He looked bright and lively.
Murong Qiao nodded lightly. “Alright, pay attention to your wound.”
After watching Nan Jin leave, she prepared to go home. If she didn’t remember the time wrongly, An Nuo should be home by now.
Nan Jin didn’t delay. He turned around and left. Even his excited footsteps were light.
He was clearly injured, but his heart was filled with honey now. It was so sweet that Nan Jin wanted to fly. Even when he returned home and pushed open the door, his tone rose.
“I’m back,” he called out.
The lights in the living room were on. Nan Xuan was sitting on the sofa with his head lowered. The light from above made it difficult for Nan Jin to see Nan Xuan’s expression.
Nan Jin was taking two steps closer when her sharp sense of smell vaguely noticed that the air seemed to be filled with the smell of smoke that had dissipated for a while.
Nan Xuan stood up and called out to him in a low voice, “I have something to talk to you about. Let’s talk in my room.”
It was already so late, and Nan Hao had already fallen asleep. He was still schooling, so he didn’t want to disturb him.
Nan Jin understood and followed Nan Xuan into the room, closing the door behind him.
“…The police station called me today.” Nan Xuan’s expression was heavy.
Nan Jin immediately understood. “About Nan Kang?”
“You know?” Nan Xuan looked up at him in surprise.
When he received the call from the police station today, Nan Xuan was still at work, so he didn’t talk much. He only learned that Nan Kang seemed to have maliciously injured someone and was called to the police station.
Nan Jin was silent for a moment. Then, under Nan Xuan’s puzzled gaze, he recounted his experience today in detail.
Nan Xuan’s forehead twitched when he heard this. “That’s his biological daughter!”
Even though he was mentally prepared, he was still shocked by this fact.
If Nan Jin hadn’t said that Murong Qiao wasn’t injured, Nan Xuan would have called his Little Sister to ask about the situation.
“I didn’t hear what Nan Kang and Qiaoqiao said at that time, but I guess he wanted to ask Qiaoqiao for money because he ran out of it.” Nan Jin could guess.
They had discussed Nan Kang before, but Nan Jin didn’t expect Nan Kang to target Murong Qiao.
Nan Xuan frowned and immediately had a bad feeling. “He ran out of money so quickly?”
Previously, while he hadn’t gone back to take a look, he had heard about Nan Kang’s glorious side. Many people said that he was a nouveau riche and suddenly became rich.
“When the police called today, they also said that he owes millions.” Nan Xuan mentioned this.
At first, Nan Xuan thought that Nan Kang had really thought it through and wanted to make a comeback. As he had said previously, he planned to open a new company to revitalize the Nan family.
At that time, Nan Xuan didn’t think too much about it. Now that all the clues were combined…
“I’ll figure this out when I go to the police station.” Nan Xuan pursed his lips, his expression grave.
“I’ll go too.” Nan Jin was not as happy as when he came back just now. “I still have a statement to give.”
He had only been focused on treating his wound today and forgot that he had to make a trip to the police station.
Nan Xuan didn’t say anything. He sat by the bed with a tired expression, his hand pinching the base of his nose. When his eyes were closed, Nan Jin could see the dark circles under his eyes.
Nan Xuan originally thought that he could relax during this period of time, but he didn’t expect something to happen to Nan Kang again.
“Forget it, go to sleep.” Nan Xuan was the first to end the topic.
After exchanging information, they couldn’t obtain any more effective information with just their knowledge. The more specific situation would have to wait until they went to the police station tomorrow.
At this moment, the sky outside was already dark. As the night fell, it felt like one could not see their fingers.
Only the lights in the house made one feel a little safe. The warm yellow color subconsciously relaxed and she leaned against the sofa, feeling sleepy.
An Nuo curled up on the sofa and yawned sleepily. She forced herself to stay awake and waited for Murong Qiao to return.
Knock knock.
There was a sudden knock on the door.
An Nuo’s groggy head immediately cleared up. She almost jumped down from the sofa. Without even putting on her slippers, she ran to the door and opened it.
“Coming, coming—” An Nuo stopped abruptly.
She looked at Murong Chen, who was standing at the door, in surprise. Her mind went blank for a moment, and she couldn’t understand why Murong Qiao’s Big Brother was here.
“Please, please come in?” An Nuo said awkwardly.
Her first reaction was that Murong Chen was here to look for Murong Qiao. Then, she realized her current image half a beat later. Murong Chen even saw her standing at the door barefoot.
… She already completely understood what it meant to dig out the awkwardness of one’s room.
An Nuo blushed in frustration. For a moment, she wanted to close the door, but she had no choice but to stand here and stare at Murong Chen.
Murong Chen didn’t expect An Nuo to open the door. He looked at An Nuo in surprise, a little surprised that the other party’s image at home was a little different from what he knew of her.
He nodded politely. “Thank you.”
With that, Murong Chen walked in.
He knew that his Little Sister had a place outside, and he also knew that she lived with An Nuo.
However, this seemed to be the first time he had come to his Little Sister’s place.
After Murong Chen walked in, he casually sized up the decorations. Then, he sat on an armchair at the side, trying to find some “traces”.
“Do you want some water? Or fruit tea?” An Nuo was a little nervous.
Murong Chen didn’t mind. He nodded indifferently. “Water is fine.”
He was here this time for his Little Sister and the man on the phone.
However… Murong Chen glanced around the living room and frowned. He realized that he had come at the wrong time.
If his Little Sister was at home, An Nuo wouldn’t have such a reaction. Moreover, when he came, Murong Qiao should have come out to see him.
“…” Murong Chen’s gaze swept across the living room.
These days, Huo Yichen had been talking with him about a collaboration. They saw each other every other day, not to mention that Huo Yichen was with him at Shengjing Group when he called.
Murong Chen frowned. Many faces flashed through his mind, but he didn’t have a clear goal.
“The water is at room temperature.” An Nuo brought him a gla.s.s of water.
Murong Chen accepted it politely and asked, “Isn’t Qiaoqiao at home?”
“Her?” An Nuo was stunned, and then her expression was a little strange. “She doesn’t seem to have returned yet.”
“In the past, she should have arrived home first at this time, but I didn’t see her when I came back today. Perhaps she’s working overtime.” An Nuo didn’t pay much attention to this matter.
It was common for her to work overtime. Some time ago, when they were in a cold war, An Nuo had even secretly asked the people in the company and knew that Murong Qiao would occasionally work overtime until very late.
An Nuo looked at Murong Chen again. “If you like, I can pa.s.s your message to her.”
She scratched her head in embarra.s.sment. After saying this, she felt that her words were a little presumptuous. She sat on the sofa on Murong Chen’s left. For the first time, she felt reserved in her own house.
“It’s nothing. I’m just here to take a look.” Murong Chen brushed it off indifferently.
From the looks of it, An Nuo didn’t seem to know the situation.
Perhaps because he was a little late, his Little Sister and that man had already left..
