Chapter 996: Chapter 984: Zhan Qipei Takes Action
Pulling herself out of her thoughts, Lin Xiuxiang glanced at the girl beside her and couldn’t help but say, “You
know? You really look a lot like my good friend, Qiao Jing.”
“Qiao Jing has always been more mature than her peers since she was young, and she’s usually serious. But only
those who know her well understand that she can be very humorous and mischievous at times.”
“She doesn’t easily make plans to prank people, but once she does, those people end up crying for their parents,
just like what happened earlier...”
As Lin Xiuxiang said these words, Qiao Jing just listened quietly.
They walked toward the roadside as one spoke and the other listened.
When they reached the roadside, Lin Xiuxiang’s phone suddenly rang; it was a call from Tang Yan.
As soon as the call connected, Tang Yan's anxious voice cthrough from the other end, “Honey, why aren't
you home? Where are you now?”
As soon as the meeting ended, he rushed home, only to find his wife wasn’t there, which got him so worried he
immediately took out his phone to call.
He had to remember, his wife was pregnant!
It was necessary to be cautious in everything!
Lin Xiuxiang turned her head to look at a nearby road sign and said, “I'm at Nanhua Street right now, with Xiao
Jing, Third Miss Qiao, we're together.”
“Nanhua Street, is it? I'll cover to pick you up.”
Tang Yan said this as he quickly ran to get the car.
“Alright, Ill wait for you, I'll hang up now.”
After speaking, Lin Xiuxiang hung up the call.
In less than ten minutes, Tang Yan drove over to pick them up.
Qiao Jing and Tang Yan nodded to each other as a greeting.
Afterward, Qiao Jing said to Lin Xiuxiang, “Okay, hurry up and get in the car to go back with Assistant Tang.”
“What are you saying, you get in the car too, only after we safely drop you at hcan we be at ease to go
back.”
Lin Xiuxiang said, grabbing Qiao Jing’s arm.
Qiao Jing shook her head, “No need to trouble, Ill just grab a taxi.”
“No, no!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLin Xiuxiang repeatedly refused, then forcibly pulled Qiao Jing into the car.
Seeing her with a belly, Qiao Jing didn’t dare to push against her.
If she was careless, it could easily lead to an accident!
In the end, Qiao Jing was still pulled into the car by Lin Xiuxiang.
Once they got in the car, Tang Yan pressed the gas, and the car drove off steadily.
Soon, the car stopped at the entrance of a small villa.
Qiao Jing got out of the car and waved goodbye to them, “Be careful on the road!”
Lin Xiuxiang also waved back at her, “Hurry into the house, we're leaving.”
After Qiao Jing entered the house, Tang Yan turned the car around and took Lin Xiuxiang back home.
Upon returning home, sitting on the living room sofa, Tang Yan asked suspiciously, “Honey, why were you with
Third Miss Qiao so late?”
Hearing Tang Yan's question, Lin Xiuxiang immediately said, “I was just about to tell you about this!”
“Originally, | was at home, too bored, so | went out for a walk, and unexpectedly ran into Xiao Jing on the road.”
“At the time, | wanted to invite Xiao Jing to have a late-night snack, but she toldsomeone was following her
and toldto leave quickly, so as not to get involved...”
“What? Being followed?!”
Tang Yan's expression shifted slightly, interrupting Lin Xiuxiang.
“Oh, con, letfinish.”
Lin Xiuxiang chided coquettishly before continuing, “I originally thought of calling you, but | had mentioned to
Xiao Jing that you were accompanying President Zhan in an important meeting, so Xiao Jing toldnot to call
you, afraid of disturbing you and affecting the meeting.”
“Later on, Xiao Jing insisted | leave, but | thought abandoning her alone and just leaving was really unkind, so |
dragged her to run together, and we ran into the haunted house of an amusement park.”
“You wouldn't believe it, Xiao Jing has such a big courage, | was shaking with fear, but she wasn’t afraid at all,
except for Qiao Jing, she’s the bravest girl I've ever seen.”
“Afterward, Xiao Jing even had a sudden idea, getting the NPCs in the haunted house to help scare those who
were following her, terrifying them to no end!”
Lin Xiuxiang recounted exactly what happened.
After listening, Tang Yan couldn’t help but feel a rush of fear.
This was truly too dangerous. If it hadn’t gone well, his wife and child could have been in trouble!
Thinking of this, Tang Yan pulled Lin Xiuxiang into his arms, touched her belly, and said, relieved, “Luckily, it was
a close call, you and the child are both okay.”
“I was only frightened when first entering the haunted house, otherwise it’s nothing.”
Lin Xiuxiang said, then changed the subject, “I just don’t know who is so vicious to harm Xiao Jing?”
Tang Yan thought for a moment and said, “Don’t worry, I'll investigate this.”
Previously, when Momo got lost, if it weren't for Third Miss Qiao kindly bringing her home, who knows, she might
have been abducted by bad people.
Moreover, tonight's incident involved his wife.
In any respect, he couldn't just sit back, he had to get to the bottom of this matter!
The next day, at the Zhan Corporation, inside the president's office.
Zhan Qipei was sitting at his desk, reviewing documents.
Tang Yan was next to him, organizing smaterials.
After a while, Tang Yan suddenly received a phone call.
Seeing the caller ID, he couldn’t bother that it was in President Zhan's office and immediately answered.
Before the person on the line could
speak, Tang Yan anxiously agkegh
“How 0 faveyou sound anything?

Upon hearing this, Zhan Qipei’s hand holding the document paused, abruptly raising his head to look at Tang
Yan.
Different from his reaction, his handsface remained characteristically stern, making it impossible to discern
his current emotions.
“For now, we've only found the
information of those who were
following, but they dey wet irito
eRe with guilty d nsciences, and
€ haven't tracked down their
whereabouts yet, so we still don't
know their purpose in following Third
Miss Qiao.” The content is on

After hearing the report from the phone, Tang Yan nodded, “Alright, | understand, keep investigating.”
When Tang Yan hung up the phone and turned his head, he found President Zhan staring at him.
His heart tightened with sinexplicable anxiety.
Could it be that President Zhan was unhappy about him answering calls in the office?
As Tang Yan was thinking, Zhan Qipei suddenly asked, “What happened?”
Tang Yan hesitated for a moment, but still decided to tell the story.
“The night before last, when Xiuxiang
went out, she happened to run into
Third Miss Qiao. At the time, Hird
Miss Qige found Hersdifbeing
fSHdwed by a few men. Later she and
Xiuxiang ran into a haunted house at
a nearby amusement park and
managed to shake them off, nothing
happened.” The content is on

“So, I'm investigating why those people were following Third Miss Qiao and who wants to harm her.”
After Tang Yan finished speaking, Zhan Qipei remained silent for a moment.
A moment later, he slightly opened his thin lips, and said in a low voice, “I'll assign spersonnel to assist you
in investigating this matter.”
Hearing this, Tang Yan was taken aback for a moment, showing a bit of surprise, clearly not expecting President
Zhan to get involved in this matter.
“After all, she saved my mother before.”
Zhan Qipei suddenly said, not knowing if he was explaining to Tang Yan or just speaking to himself.
