Chapter 2497 almost made the old man choke with anger!

Chapter 2497

Hai Jing gently pinched her cheek with a touch of tenderness, softly stroked her hair, and whispered:

“These are nothing. I didn’t know you were living this kind of life in the Qiao family before.”

"Although this family head is fake and not your biological father, according to the timeline, he has been here for seven or eight years."

“You have suffered greatly for the past seven or eight years.”

"Just thinking about it makes my heart ache."

Hai Jing spoke his true feelings, even though it sounded a bit cheesy, but that was how his emotions were.

The atmosphere at the scene had already shifted to this point, so it felt much more natural to say it out loud.

Qiao Ya stared blankly at the man in front of her, at the sharp, angular features of his face.

Looking into his eyes, which shone like bright stars, my heart sank deeply.

He now understands why those so-called "love-obsessed" people do such stupid things.

Faced with such a sea view, he couldn't help but want to present the entire Qiao family to the other party. As long as he could give him a smile, it seemed that he didn't care about anything else.

At this moment, a profound truth came to mind deep within Qiao Ya's heart:

Men are toxic; it's best to stay away. But since you can't live without them, then just let yourself be!

Haijing and Qiao Ya thought the matter was over. They were quite happy that they didn't see Qiao Zhendong at lunch.

Not long after we finished eating and went back home...

Qiao Zhendong called them back to his office.

This time, Qiao Zhendong looked very grim and told them, "There's something I need you to do now."

The two were somewhat bewildered, not understanding what Qiao Zhendong was up to.

A short while later, Qiao Zhendong led them into the secret room.

Pointing to the surrounding mess, he said, "Originally, a traitor who stole our Qiao family's secrets was tied up here."

"I tormented him for months, hoping he would reveal where the stolen secrets were hidden."

"But he absolutely refused to tell!"

"He was stolen just last night."

He paused, then turned to look at Xiao Ya and said, "You know this man, Qiao Ya. He's Liu Sheng, our Qiao family's original butler."

Qiao Ya looked at Qiao Zhendong in shock and said, "Dad, what are you saying?"

"Liu Sheng watched me grow up since I was a child."

“He’s practically my father, how could he do such a thing?”

You must have made a mistake somewhere.

Qiao Zhendong angrily said, "I am also heartbroken."

“If it weren’t for the conclusive evidence, I wouldn’t have arrested him. He himself has admitted to what he did.”

"They just wouldn't say where they hid the stolen items."

"That's why I tied him up in the secret room and interrogated him."

"But so much time has passed, and he still hasn't been able to tell us where those things are."

After a pause, Qiao Zhendong continued, "Now I'm giving you a task."

Then he said to the seascape very seriously:

“You come from the military and are still an officer. You are the most capable person in our Qiao family, so you have to use all your remaining energy to find a way to help me solve this case.”

"Find Liu Sheng, or at the very least find the things he hid."

Finally, he handed the key to the secret room to Haijing and said, "This secret room is temporarily in your hands. You must solve the puzzle."

"Find out how and how those people stole Liu Sheng, and then report back to me."

"As long as you can do it well."

"It would be best if we could find Liu Sheng. Once the mission is accomplished, I will bring you into the Qiao Group. Consider this your pledge of loyalty."

"After all, you only learned the skills of those rough men in the army."

"They're not very good at managing companies."

"I can't let Xiaoya's husband work as a security guard at the company!"

His words were a severe denigration of Haijing.

Hai Jing's face showed little expression, not even a hint of anger.

After he finished speaking, Haijing thought about it seriously for a moment and agreed, "Father is right. I know nothing about business. If I were to work as a security guard, I would definitely embarrass Xiaoya."

"So let's start with these small things. You can leave this case to me."

Qiao Zhendong was really afraid that he wouldn't agree, but now that he had, he breathed a slight sigh of relief.

This time, before Haijing could say anything more, he turned and ran away as fast as he could, afraid that if he left too late, Haijing would push this hot potato back to him.

After he left, Haijing and Qiaoya exchanged a glance, and neither of them said anything before returning to their rooms.

However, the sea view soon returned, and they started causing trouble in the secret room.

He had to make some kind of statement, at least to let people know that he was indeed investigating the case.

That night, Haijing and Qiao Ya were making a ruckus in that secret room. A servant and a security guard secretly saw them and reported their actions to Qiao Zhendong.

Seeing that they were indeed investigating the case seriously, Qiao Zhendong didn't say anything more.

After all, he only had suspicions; he was a suspicious person by nature.

What's more, there are quite a few people waiting to see what's going on in this spot.

Therefore, he had to be more careful.

But now all the evidence suggests that Liu Sheng's whereabouts have nothing to do with them, and he shouldn't have been stolen by them.

However, this coincidence forced him to take it seriously.

After all, Liu Sheng had been locked in the secret room for a long time, and nothing had ever happened to him. Even if someone had come in, they would have died.

This time, the theft was successfully carried out in the days following Qiao Ya's return, so how could he not be more vigilant?

Let’s talk about Jiang Wan again.

After Jiang Wan and the others returned, Ye Fan had already arrived and called over all the relevant actors.

Ye Fan pointed to the group of people and said, "I found these people through a friend. They are all from the theater and specialize in acting in plays."

"These people will be sent away after their performance here and won't be sent back for a while, so it shouldn't affect you."

Jiang Wan questioned those people in detail and discovered that they were not ordinary people.

how to say?

They have some theatrical background and know a bit about acting. Whether they act well or not, they won't just stand there like a Muggle who can't even deliver their lines properly.

Jiang Wan was quite satisfied with the actors that Ye Fan had found.

She would assign roles to these people based on their height and characteristics.

When acting for those two people, Jiang Wan wasn't worried about the characters needed for the scene. With temporary masks, changing faces was incredibly easy; she could just change the clothes and such.

Jiang Wan handed the script to Ye Fan, instructing him to keep an eye on them and make them act.

We need to at least make the performance look realistic; let's rehearse for two or three days first.

That evening, Jiang Wan researched a lot of information and decided to go to Repulse Bay the next day to see if she could acquire the land there.
