Chapter 1164: That Doesn’t Sound Right
Even though she had been traveling for the past few days, she did not forget the handmade paper cranes she had prepared for Lu Xingzhi. She did not waste a single second of her free time.
“What is it? Let me have a look? ” Lu Xingzhi said as he reached out and touched Jiang Yao’s pocket. Surprisingly, there was nothing inside. However, he did not take his hand back. Instead, he conveniently placed it on Jiang Yao’s waist and scratched it gently. “You hid it so well.”
“Of course!” Jiang Yao was very proud.
“Rest at home. I still have to go to the office to do some things. I’ll come home to cook your favorite dishes for you at noon.” Lu Xingzhi kissed Jiang Yao’s lips again. He said, “I need to tell you that I’ll be going on a mission in a few days.”
“Ah?” Jiang Yao blinked. “Aren’t you transferring to a new unit? You’re getting a new mission now?”
“The mission will be transferred to the new unit as well. After it is over, I will officially report to the new department. If there are no accidents, I will set off with my partner to carry out the mission in a few days.”
He could not tell her more about it. Furthermore, he did not know much about the mission, and he did not even know who his partner was.
Jiang Yao nodded and grunted. Her voice was muffled, a little depressed, and also a little disappointed.
Every time she was there to visit him, he would always need to go on a mission.
Lu Xingzhi could not comfort Jiang Yao, so he could only hold her hand and led her back to the bedroom to rest. He covered her with a blanket and then went out.
Jiang Yao laid on the bed and rolled around twice as she sighed. When she saw Moe asleep in her furry shoes, Jiang Yao asked, “Are you going on that mission as well?”
“No,” Moe said. “Your man is so powerful; what are you afraid of?”
“Of course, I’m afraid! He almost died in front of me when he went overseas on a mission last time.” Jiang Yao sighed. “I know he’s powerful, but I still worry about him. With you around, I’ll be more at ease. I’ll wait for him to finish his mission before returning to school. I’ll also wait for you to come back. When we return to Nanjiang City, I’ll buy you new toys. I’ll buy you whatever you like.”
Moe’s ears twitched. He was clearly a little tempted, but after some consideration, he still seemed a little unwilling to be alone with Lu Xingzhi, so he continued to hesitate.
Lu Xingzhi had just left the house when he received a phone call on his way back to the office.
“Young Master Lu, I can confirm that Xie Qiuran is that idiot’s wife,” the man on the phone said. “Also, I met someone sent by Mrs. Sun in your hometown. They took the idiot’s hair and some blood samples. I learned that she bribed the cleaners in Jindo City Hotel to get Young Madam Lu’s hair samples.”
He paused. The man continued to say, “I found the address by accident. A man gave me an incomplete handwritten address; he thought I was a local there, so he asked me about the location. He even mentioned Xie Qiuran, so I took the opportunity to look into it. That was when I found out that Mrs. Sun was looking into this matter. Perhaps she thought that decades had passed and the fool would move to another place.”
“That doesn’t sound right.” Lu Xingzhi rejected the theory. “If Mrs. Sun is the idiot’s wife, and she found out from Lu Xiaoxiao that Yaoyao is from the same hometown, then she must have suspected that Yaoyao was the child that her mother-in-law had buried alive. Why did she have to travel thousands of miles to get a sample of the fool’s blood when she’s got a sample of Yaoyao’s hair? She could have used her blood and Yaoyao’s hair for the DNA test.”
