Chapter 626: So...... Why are you forcing me to do something troublesome?
The next day. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ο½ο½ο½Uο½Eγ ο½ο½ο½ο½
"Ding Dong~"
A crisp doorbell.
"It's coming. β
Zheng Xiuyan was dressed at home, stepped on slippers and walked to the door, and looked in front of the cat.
As a result, the expression on her face was stunned, and in the blink of an eye, she opened the door with her hand, looked at the unexpected visitor who was standing outside her door at this time, and asked a little stunned: "Tyler...... Why are you here?"
"Hehe......"
Quan Ningyi did not wear his usual suit today, but changed into a gray coat, tied a black scarf around his neck, and carried a few bags of things in his hand. β
"Guest?"
Zheng Xiuyan blinked again, and glanced at her friend strangely, but after thinking about it for a while, she looked at the smile on the other party's face, and her red lips couldn't help but hook up slightly in the same way, turned sideways, and said with a helpless and soft smile on her delicate and beautiful face: "I don't know what you want to do...... Come in~"
"Sure enough~~ I just want our Ms. Zheng to be a good person, and she won't let me, a poor ghost, get frozen outside!"
Quan Ning smiled and complimented, and then didn't say anything polite, he walked in directly from the door, and while bowing his head in the entrance to change his shoes, he simply explained: "I bought some gifts when I went to Hong Kong on a business trip before, and I just finished handling the rest of the things today, thinking that you and your parents were at home, so I simply came over with my things to visit." β
"Go...... When you're on a business trip to Hong Kong?"
Quan Ningyi's words made Zheng Xiuyan's hand on the doorknob pause slightly, and a rather complicated look seemed to flash in her clear eyes in an instant.
But in an instant, a shallow smile appeared on her face, she closed the door properly, turned her head and wrinkled her nose at Quan Ningyi quite cutely: "Actually, you don't need to be like this at all, even if you are a friend, you give me gifts like this every day, I feel embarrassed myself, thinking about whether I should give you a gift or something." β
"Haha~~ Friend, can you pay attention to your tone when you say such things in the future? You also show your reluctance too obviously, right?"
"Uh-huh~~ Friend, I don't think anyone should be happy about such a thing, right?"
"Hehe~~"
"Jess, are there any guests coming?"
Just when the two of them were talking and laughing into the living room, suddenly another voice came out, and they turned their heads to look, and the smile on their faces suddenly unconsciously narrowed slightly.
Quan Ningyi hurriedly stood up straight, bowed his head quite politely to Father Zheng, who came out of the back room with a puzzled face, and greeted with a smile that seemed quite gentle: "Hello, uncle." β
"Oh?"
Father Zheng looked at Quan Ningyi, who was standing with his daughter in his living room, with some surprise, and glanced at the bags of things he brought, blinked, and seemed to suddenly understand.
"Jess friend, right?"
With a thoughtful look on his thin and swarthy face, Father Zheng looked at the gentle smile on Quan Ningyi's face again, and his eyes with crow's feet narrowed imperceptibly, and then, the other two people in the living room saw him nodding and asked softly with a decent attitude, "Are you a guest at home?"
"Heh, yes uncle, when I first met you and my aunt a few days ago, I was in a hurry, so I just prepared some meeting gifts today and brought them over, and I want to pay a formal visit to the two of you. β
Quan Ning explained with a smile, then turned his head, looked around as if curious, and asked, "That...... Where's my aunt? Why didn't you see her?"
"Oh, my mother went out this morning, it seems that she went out to do something, I don't know when I will come back, only me and my father are at home. Zheng Xiuyan, who was standing on the side, answered and explained.
"Oh...... That's right. β
Quan Ning nodded suddenly, the expression on his face did not change, he just shrugged his shoulders with a smile, and said helplessly: "Then it seems that I didn't come at the right time today, it's a pity......"
"There's nothing to be sorry for...... Zheng Xiuyan folded her arms, pursed her lips imperceptibly, looked at Quan Ningyi with a faint hint of complexity in her eyes, and said softly: "You and my mother will always have a chance to get along in the future, I believe ...... The relationship between the two of you should get better. β
The gaze in his eyes immediately seemed to flicker slightly, and Quan Ningyi glanced at the beautiful woman beside him who seemed to have something on his mind, and then raised the corners of his mouth again, and said with a meaningful smile in his mouth: "Hmm, yes? That's great, I hope so......"
β¦β¦
About half an hour later-
"Well, then, I'll take my leave. β
"Hmm, so soon, don't you stay for a meal?" asked Zheng Xiuyan looking up at Quan Ningyi in surprise.
"Hehe, no need. β
Walking to the entrance, Quan Ningyi changed his shoes, turned his head and looked at Zheng Xiuyan, shrugged and smiled: "I always feel ...... My aunt doesn't seem to like me very much, and if she comes home and sees me, she might be upset again. I think next time, I'll pay her a formal visit, and then we'll think about lunch. β
ββ¦β¦β
Quan Ningyi's words made Zheng Xiuyan stunned for a moment, and in an instant, her beautiful face couldn't help but be a little embarrassed and embarrassed, she opened her mouth again and again, and hesitated for a long time before she spoke: "That...... Well, I'll send you. β
Zheng Xiuyan's evasion made Quan Ningyi's eyes squint imperceptibly, but then the smile on his face became brighter and brighter, and he waved his hand without dwelling on the topic and said, "Eh, no need, my driver is waiting for me outside, it's cold outside, you just sit." β
As he spoke, Quan Ningyi's hand was on the doorknob and said goodbye: "Then I'll go first." β
"Uh-huh...... Bow. β
"Bye. β
"Bang. β
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at the door that was brought up, Zheng Xiuyan frowned lightly, lowered her head and thought about it, but still sighed, shook her head and focused on other things.
After a while, with the sound of unlocking, a mature and beautiful figure opened the door from outside the house and walked in.
"I'm back. β
Zheng Xiuyan, who was sitting on the sofa reading fashion magazines, turned her head to look, and suddenly showed a soft smile on her face, and greeted: "Doll mother, is the matter done?"
"Well~ it's done. β
Untied the scarf around her neck, Zheng's mother, who came back from outside, put down the things she had at hand and smiled at her daughter in the living room.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
Outside Zheng's house, under a big tree on the side of the street, the inconspicuous car was parked quietly, as before.
"Tuk, Tuk......"
Fingers tapped lightly on the edge of the window, Quan Ning tilted his head to one side, staring intently at the house in the distance in his sight.
The European style and light tones of color make the whole villa of the Zheng family bathed in sunlight and look a kind of holy beauty.
"Look at what they just looked like...... It shouldn't be Jessica herself, nor her dad, then...... It should be my Aunt Zheng?"
muttering to himself, looking in the direction of the Zheng family, Quan Ning's small eyes gradually narrowed, and an unpredictable expression emerged from his face, making his whole person look like a feeling of depression.
"But ......"
The young man sitting in the driver's seat in front looked at him through the rearview mirror, and couldn't help but cautiously speak: "Look at the appearance of this Mrs. Zheng...... She didn't seem to know about it. Maybe...... The matter has nothing to do with the Zheng family at all?"
Hearing the young man's words, Quan Ning turned his head to look at him, frowned and thought for a while, then shook his head and said decisively: "Impossible, except for them, no one else is possible." β
"It's ...... too," the young man thought for a moment and nodded.
"So ......"
Turning his head to look at the Zheng family shrouded in the sun in the distance, Quan Ning squinted his eyes, and finally a touch of gloom finally welled up on his face, gritting his teeth and whispering to himself: "What the hell is this...... What's going on?!"
Yesterday, after the initial shock and panic, Quan Ningyi's mind gradually calmed down, and his thoughts began to concentrate, thinking about where those accounts would go.
And no matter what he thinks, the only person he can think of about this matter is the Zheng family.
Because in fact, the accounts kept in the safe deposit box only involved Zheng Xiuyan's company, and the general accounts that Quan Ningyi himself made when he was organizing money laundering were hidden in a safer and more secret place.
So, even if there is an enemy you don't know about, who misunderstands the contents of that safe, and sneaks into your house to get ready to take the accounts, it's time to find out everything.
Even if it is to not alarm himself, the other party has no reason to take away those accounts, just a little money, and he can't do anything to himself at all.
The people who really need these accounts, Quan Ning thinks about it, and there is only Zheng's mother, who is not very confident about his identity, and it is even possible that Zheng Xiuyan is also involved.
That's why he came to the door in such a hurry today, wanting to confirm the situation.
But now it seems...... The Zheng family still seems to be calm?
This made him feel very strange, if the accounts were really taken away by the Zheng family, there was no reason why Zheng Xiuyan and the others would behave so naturally in front of themselves.
After thinking hard for a while, still not having a clue, Quan Ning simply shook his head, shifted his thoughts to another question, and asked the young man sitting in the driver's seat, "Speaking of which, what kind of plumber is it?"
"Well, yes. The young man nodded and said, "The outsiders who have been in and out of your house in the past few days, except for the Filipino maid, are only a plumber who came to the house a few days ago for maintenance, and it is no accident that he stole the documents." β
"Did you find someone?"
"Nope. The young man shook his head helplessly, "The other party is quite experienced, wearing a hat on his head, even the surveillance has not captured a relatively clear face, and if you check it just by figure and age, the scope is too large." β
"......" Quan Ning knocked on the window edge with one finger, and asked, "If I'm not mistaken, I asked you to send someone to follow Jess and her mother, she shouldn't have been in contact with any plumbers, right?"
"So I'm thinking...... Could it be that Mrs. Zheng asked that mark for help? If she called the other party for help or something, then it was very likely that we would take the accounts if we were not prepared. The young man carefully analyzed.
βmarkοΌβ
Quan Ning was stunned when he heard this, and his eyes immediately lit up, and he immediately clapped his hands and said, "Yes...... Otherwise, how could the woman herself take away those accounts!"
Turning his head to look out of the car window, his eyes staring at the Zheng family, Quan Ning pondered for a while, the corners of his mouth suddenly curled, smiled coldly, and said to himself: "Forget it...... Whatever, whether this matter has anything to do with them or not, there will be an answer soon. Anyway, it's just a bunch of bad debts, and I have an excuse to explain, and I can't make much trouble with that family......"
As he spoke, Quan Ning turned his head and looked at the front again, and ordered in a deep voice: "Keep an eye on them these days, and report any changes directly to me." Oh yes, what is my Aunt Zheng doing when she goes out today? Looking for an accounting firm?"
"I called and asked. β
The young man immediately lowered his head and took out his mobile phone from his arms.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"So that Tyler came to our house again?"
Flipping through the magazine in her hand, Zheng's mother frowned and turned her head to look at her daughter who was standing in front of the bar making coffee.
"Yes, Mom, can't you be less prejudiced against Tyler......? Even if you don't like him, how can you say that he's my friend?"
Holding a spoon in her hand and stirring slowly, Zheng Xiuyan walked back to the living room with a cup of steaming coffee and stepped on her slippers, also frowning slightly, looking at her mother with a dissatisfied expression.
"I don't like him because he doesn't have pure intentions? If he was just friends with you, would I do this to him?" Mama Zheng couldn't help but roll her eyes.
"......Shh You're just biased against him. β
Pouting, Zheng Xiuyan sat down, took a few sips of coffee, and then blinked, as if she remembered something, and looked up and asked, "Oh yes, speaking of which, what are you doing when you go out today, why are you only coming back now?"
"Oh......" Mother Zheng suddenly smiled mysteriously when she heard this, and said, "I'm going to find Mark." β
"What?"
Zheng Xiuyan looked at her mother in surprise all of a sudden.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Well, it's me...... Huh?"
Suddenly, during the call, the young man's expression seemed to change slightly, he took the mobile phone and looked at Quan Ningyi's face behind him, then pursed his lips and whispered to the mobile phone: "Well, I know." β
"What's wrong?"
The young man's expression did not escape Quan Ningyi's eyes, and he asked directly with a frown.
"Boss, something very troublesome has happened......," said the young man hesitantly.
"What's the matter?"
"Today...... That Mrs. Zheng went to find the Yankee Mark's person, and the other party seemed to notice our people, and took Mrs. Zheng around and around on Wall Street...... It's gone. β
"Gone on Wall Street?!"
Quan Ningyi sat up straight and looked at the young man with a frown.
"Yes, yes......" Seeing Quan Ningyi's reaction, the young man stubbornly continued: "They searched for several times, but they didn't find out where Mrs. Zheng was taken......
"Rubbish!!"
Quan Ning gritted his teeth and roared angrily, and said viciously: "Hurry up and let them get out of here for me to check! Check the CCTV of those shops on the side of the road, or ask people, in short, find out where they have been as soon as possible!"
"Yes...... Yes!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
couldn't help but put down the coffee in her hand, Zheng Xiuyan frowned and looked at her mother strangely: "Mom, why did you run to find Mark? No...... How did you get in touch with Mark?"
"Haven't I been sorting out those documents from your company these days?"
Zheng's mother picked up the water on the table in front of her, smiled and explained, "I just saw the document about Mark, which had the phone number of his company office, and then I remembered him." β
"That'...... What are you looking for him?" asked Zheng Xiuyan thoughtfully.
"What else can I do? I forgot about it before, and then I remembered him when I saw the papers. Zheng's mother blinked and said, "Mark has been running the company for many years, so I thought about asking him to consult about your company." β
"But, but, didn't you say you had found a law firm before?" Zheng Xiuyan looked at her mother in a bit of confusion.
"Double insurance~~" Mother Zheng took a sip of water, shrugged her shoulders and said in a relaxed tone: "Anyway, he is a good friend of your oppa, and he is a trustworthy person compared to that tyler, so it won't be good for me to consult him again." β
"So...... It's not enough for you to check it once, you have to check it a second time??"
Zheng Xiuyan couldn't help but widen her eyes slightly, glaring at her mother angrily, and at the same time her mouth was angry, she also said a little incredulously: "Do you hate Tyler so much?
ββ¦β¦β
Looking at this girl's angry face, Mother Zheng pursed her lips silently, sighed lightly, put down the water glass in her hand, and waved her hand helplessly...... Actually, the real purpose of my visit to Mark is not for this, but to talk to him about your OPPA. Mark is not your OPPA's friend? I went to Korea this time, and suddenly I realized that since you worked in OPPA, I was too neglected to care about him, so I thought about talking to Mark to see if I could know more about your OPPA. β
Hearing her mother's explanation, Zheng Xiuyan's face looked better, but she couldn't help but snort lightly when she looked at Zheng's mother's helpless expression, and asked angrily: "What happened after that?
"No, I called his office, and the people in his office said he had gone on a business trip to Paris and hadn't come back yet. β
"Haven't you come back yet?" Zheng Xiuyan blinked, and then her face showed a hint of disappointment imperceptibly, and she nodded, "That's ......"
"However, they did surprise me about your company. β
"Huh?"
"Hmmm......"
Mother Zheng nodded, looked at her daughter with a puzzled face, and a mysterious smile appeared on her mature and beautiful face.
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"What do you say?!!"
A raised exclamation sounded, and in the car, the young man held the mobile phone in his hand and opened his eyes wide, swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and asked again as if confirmed: "You...... Are you sure?"
"What's wrong?
Quan Ning, who was sitting in the back, couldn't help frowning when he saw him like this, and asked suspiciously.
ββ¦β¦β
Pursing his lips in silence, the young man slowly put down the mobile phone in his ear, turned his head to look at Quan Ningyi with a somewhat empty gaze, took a few deep breaths, and then said with difficulty: "Our people found out...... Mrs. Zheng...... They...... They seem to ......"
"Something like that!
The appearance of the young man made Quan Ningyi's heart suddenly swell with a strong uneasiness, he gritted his teeth and scolded loudly as if impatient.
"They ......"
The whole person took a deep breath again, and the young man's face suddenly seemed to turn a little pale, and he said in a trembling voice: "They ...... It seems to have gone to skadden. β
βskaddenοΌβ
Quan Ningyi's expression was subconsciously confused at first, and he didn't seem to react.
And the next moment, as if he had thought of something, a pair of small eyes widened, and the whole person raised his head in a daze, and looked at the pale young man in front of him.
ββ¦β¦β
In the car, there seemed to be an eerie silence for a moment.
A hand trembled and raised, covering his mouth, Quan Ning lowered his head, blinked his eyes rapidly, and the breathing between his noses seemed to stagnate, becoming extremely heavy.
And after a while, his eyes widened and gradually reddened, and he turned his head stiffly and slowly, and looked faintly into the distance, the house bathed in sunlight......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
"Is skadden the law firm that claims to be the 'strongest on Wall Street' and the top law firm in the United States?"
"Hmm!"
Facing her daughter's stunned gaze, Zheng's mother nodded in a pretty good mood, and said with a smile: "It's that law firm, I didn't expect that Mark his people are quite powerful, and even Skadden has connections." It's just a little weird, I don't know why, I went to them, and they didn't help me directly, but took me directly to Wall Street to find Skadden. β
"But...... Even if it's skadden, do you really need to find another law firm to verify those documents?" Zheng Xiuyan pursed her lips and frowned at her mother.
"I didn't look for skadden to verify the documents. It's so that they can do some research into Tyler's background in his company. Zheng's mother glanced at Zheng Xiuyan softly in anger, and while holding a glass of water to drink, she said: "I'm worried that the law firm I found before is too small, and I may not be able to find out the matter, and I have to find out whether the other party's net worth is innocent or not, so I can decide whether to let you continue to associate with that scheming man." It should be no problem now, and with Skadden's ability, there should be results tomorrow. β
After listening to her mother's words, Zheng Xiuyan opened her mouth again and again, and in the end, she looked at her mother's face with a not very happy but faintly gentle look, but still closed her mouth, just sighed helplessly, and didn't say anything.
"Ding Dong~"
And at this moment, another crisp doorbell rang.
Zheng Xiuyan turned her head to look, blinked strangely, stood up and walked to the door, looked into the cat's eyes, and suddenly, her face was stunned.
ββ¦β¦β
"What's wrong?
Mother Zheng asked curiously in the living room.
"It's okay, it's just...... There are guests coming. β
Coming back to her senses, Zheng Xiuyan hesitated to answer, then frowned and looked at the door in front of her, thought about it, and opened the door with doubts.
"Tyler, how do you ......"
Looking at the smiling man in front of her, Zheng Xiuyan looked at him suspiciously, and then, her slender eyebrows suddenly frowned unconsciously, and a strange feeling was faintly born in her heart.
Because I don't know why...... She always felt that the other party's appearance was the same as earlier today...... Seems a little different?
"Jess, everyone in your family is here, right?"
Quan Ningyi still had that gentle smile on his face, and his eyes seemed to be curious to peek into the room.
"Hmm, hmm......" Zheng Xiuyan nodded stunned, subconsciously glanced back at her mother in the living room, and said hesitantly: "My mother just came back, and our family is at home...... What's wrong?"
"That's good. β
The corners of his mouth grinned to both sides, Quan Ningyi smiled brightly, his tone was like that he was looking at a lover, and said slowly and softly: "I'm just trying to prevent any accidents from happening." β
"What...... What an accident......"
Zheng Xiuyan's voice came to an abrupt end.
Because in her sight, behind the gentle, smiling man in front of her, a group of angry people, dragging baseball bats in their hands, walked towards her with cold eyes......
"So...... Why are you forcing me to do something troublesome?
Tearing off the black scarf around his neck and throwing it on the ground, looking at the pretty face in front of him whose expression gradually solidified, Quan Ningyi stood at the gate, with his back to the sun, and the gentle smile on his face seemed to be gradually distorted by the shadows, turning into an incomparably cold and hideous ......
