Chapter 843: An Unexpected Call

Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Weiyang suddenly called Huo Ya. This matter seemed a little abrupt. Even though the two of them were good friends, the unfamiliarity between them still existed.

If one had to mention the cause, it was because Jiang Weiyang had recently discovered that she was being investigated.

The person investigating was Nan Hao, who had accepted the commission some time ago.

It was self-evident how concerned Nan Hao was about his Little Sister’s request. He ran around every day just for this matter. Moreover, he’d finally managed to meet the man who was imprisoned because he injured Murong Zhen with a knife. Moreover, Nan Hao obtained some information from the other party’s words.

As Nan Hao worked hard, the matter seemed to be progressing more and more smoothly. Because of this, Nan Hao was even more certain that there was someone behind this. Therefore, after a few investigations, the clues vaguely pointed in the direction of Jiang Weiyang. However, there was still no conclusive evidence, so he couldn’t come to a conclusion at the moment.

Looking at the thick stack of documents in his hand, Nan Hao took a deep breath and rubbed his tired eyebrows. Then, he prepared to call Murong Qiao.

However, when he called, to his surprise, the first to appear was a man’s voice.

“What’s the matter?” The person who answered the call was Huo Yichen, who was still taking care of Murong Qiao.

He held the phone to his ear with one hand and tapped on the laptop in front of him with the other. From time to time, he would look at Murong Qiao, who was sleeping beside him.

Perhaps it was because she was not used to the bed, although Murong Qiao could sleep when she was in the hospital previously, she couldn’t sleep well. It was only today when she returned home that she immediately became sleepy.

Nan Hao found the voice familiar. Then, after recognizing Huo Yichen’s voice, he explained his background and the commission Murong Qiao had given him previously.

Huo Yichen knew about Nan Hao. Moreover, he had always heard about the rumors of their relationship.

It was unknown if the two of them were talking too loudly, but it woke Murong Qiao up. The person who was sleeping soundly on the bed just now had already opened her eyes in a daze and looked at Huo Yichen, who was still on the phone.

“You’re awake. Someone’s looking for you.” Seeing that she was attracted, Huo Yichen simply pressed the phone to Murong Qiao’s ear so that she could answer the call.

However, he didn’t find it tiring to maintain this posture. From the looks of it, he seemed to be enjoying it and wouldn’t get tired.

“Nan Hao?” Murong Qiao glanced at the caller’s name. “Send the results of the investigation to my company tomorrow. It’s not convenient today.”

After saying that, Murong Qiao stretched and lost her memory. “Did you wash the clothes I brought back from the hospital?”

Previously, she had stayed at the Central Hospital for almost a week, so Huo Yichen had also brought her a few sets of clothes to change into. She should wash them all since she’d returned home today.

However, her voice was not too soft, so Nan Hao heard her clearly.

“Are you injured?” Nan Hao immediately asked the question without thinking.

After saying this, he realized that it didn’t seem appropriate for him to care about the other party now. “I’m sorry…”

“It’s fine.” Murong Qiao didn’t think too much about it.

Seeing that Nan Hao’s reaction was a little big, she seemed to chuckle. “Don’t think too much. I don’t care about the past anymore.”

It had been so long. If she still fussed about it, it would be too depressing.

Moreover, even if a stranger cared about her, it was not impossible to thank him.

Murong Qiao’s words clearly entered Nan Hao’s ears, making him heave a sigh of relief.

“Then can I look for you at your company tomorrow?” Nan Hao was silent for a few seconds before he mustered his courage and asked.

This time, it was Murong Qiao’s turn to be stunned. “Sure.”

“It’s getting late. I’m preparing to rest. If there’s anything, tell me tomorrow.”

Realizing that the atmosphere seemed to be a little strange, Murong Qiao hung up first.

Even though the two of them didn’t talk much, after obtaining permission to go to his Little Sister’s company tomorrow, Nan Hao couldn’t help but smile happily.

Looking at the phone that had already gone black and the desk that was a little messy from his work, the frustration he felt just now disappeared at this moment.

For the first time, he felt that doing these commissions and troublesome things seemed to have become quite fun.

However, after being happy, he recalled what Murong Qiao had said about the hospital and was a little puzzled.

From the situation over there, it sounded like his Little Sister was injured.

However, he was in no position to ask about the specific situation in detail. Moreover, Nan Hao didn’t want to worsen their current ordinary relationship.

Just as he was immersed in his thoughts, Nan Hao’s cell phone rang not long after the call ended.

The ringtone of the phone pulled Nan Hao out of his thoughts. He came back to his senses and looked at the caller’s name. He perked up and picked up the call cleanly.

“There’s some progress on what you want. I’ll send you the information later.”

The other party went straight to the point. As soon as he finished speaking, Nan Hao heard a notification from his computer.

He casually pulled the computer over and opened it. On the screen were the two documents sent by the other party. They were even labeled with what they were.

“Alright, thank you,” Nan Hao said politely.

The person on the other end seemed to have heard something funny. After being thanked by him like this, he was not in a hurry to hang up. “I’ve never seen you so concerned about a commission.”

The person who sent the information to Nan Hao was Xue Jingyi from the law firm.

After all, although he had not focused on participating in this mission recently, he had seen how diligent Nan Hao was. Seeing that he had worked so hard, as a senior, he couldn’t slack off.

“Don’t tell me you like her?” Xue Jingyi chose the most likely answer.

Nan Hao was helpless. “Senior, don’t tease me.”

“Young Miss Murong is already engaged.” Nan Hao’s tone was calm as he spoke, but there was no reaction.

Hearing his cherished junior answering like this, he secretly heaved a sigh of relief that couldn’t be heard by the other party on the other end of the phone.

It would be troublesome if he really liked her.

Fortunately, Nan Hao’s answer made Xue Jingyi completely relieved. He immediately changed the topic to official matters right on the heels of that.

“This is all the information. Take a good look. There are a few key points inside. Send it to me after you’re done summarizing it. I’ll help you take a look.” Xue Jingyi reminded him again before hanging up.

After all, he was the junior he thought highly of. He might be able to pull him into the law firm in the future. Therefore, Xue Jingyi was also more concerned about Nan Hao.

In addition, he naturally had a copy of the information he had sent to Nan Hao. After hanging up, Xue Jingyi casually looked at the character information on it. When he saw Murong Qiao’s face, he suddenly realized that she looked similar to Nan Hao.

After staring at it for a long time, a bold and very realistic guess appeared in Xue Jingyi’s heart.

Nan Hao didn’t know that his senior was thinking about his matter again. After the two new documents were sent to him, he opened them and began to browse carefully, extracting the key points.

As expected of his senior. Xue Jingyi’s two documents were several times more useful than his investigation results during this period of time.
