“…”

Bo Jingyan was speechless.

Seeing how determined the old man was, he had no choice but to agree for the time being.

Remembering the scene he had come across at the front gate just earlier, He asked, “Grandpa, was that Shen Qing you were seeing off at the door earlier?”

The old Bo was ready to reply affirmatively but quickly caught on and immediately denied, “No, Qingqing has been busy with work these days, I only spoke to her over the phone.”

This sneaky kid, trying to set a trap for him!

He almost fell for it!

“Then who was that just now?” Bo Jingyan, undeterred, continued to probe.

Upon hearing this, Old Bo frowned in displeasure, turned to look at him and rebuked, “Why are you so full of nonsense tonight? I’ve already told you Shen Qing wasn’t here. You must have seen wrong.”

Bo Jingyan frowned and realizing Old Bo wasn’t going to reveal anything more, he didn’t pursue any further.

However, the doubt in his heart remained.

Bo Jingyan stayed with old Bo in the old mansion for a while. After Bo had gone upstairs to rest, he saw Butler Zhang and moved forward to test the waters. “Butler Zhang, the woman my grandfather met with tonight must be very important, right?”

Upon hearing this, Butler Zhang looked at Bo Jingyan, smiled, and replied, “Young Master, you seem quite interested in this matter tonight.”

Bo Jingyan shot him a cold glance and said nonchalantly, “I just think she kind of resembled Shen Qing, didn’t she?”

Butler Zhang shook his head, responded gently, “Young Master, you are mistaken. The young madam did not come to the old house tonight.”

Bo Jingyan frowned a bit and realizing that his attempt at probing hadn’t yielded any result, he had to let it go.

About the matter of Shen Qing, he always had Jian Xuan investigate.

All clues were provided by him.

He has always been capable, serious and meticulous in duties, but in this matter, there have been repeated errors.

Thinking back to the photos from before and the matter with Lu, he began to harbor serious doubts.

However…

The source of this c𝓸ntent is frёeweɓηovel.coɱ.

Even if Xia Qingtian isn’t Shen Qing.

She is intricately connected to this case!

Frustratingly, it seems he has been made a fool of!

With this thought, Bo Jingyan’s face instantly darkened. After exchanging a few words of farewell, he quickly left the mansion.

Back at the villa, Bo Jingyan immediately called Jian Xuan over the phone, asking him to come.

Shortly after.

“Bang, bang, bang——”

The sound of knocking echoed from outside the door.

Jian Xuan stood hurriedly outside the study room, and Bo Jingyan’s somber, icy voice came from within, “Come in.”

“Mr. President, may I ask what is it that you need?”

Jian Xuan walked into the room and towards the desk, his voice respectful.

Bo Jingyan didn’t say a word, and from the drawer he took out the photo he got from Xia Guohua last time, placed it on the table and gazed at him leisurely.

Jian Xuan froze, his facial expression became a bit unnatural.

Bo Jingyan coldly looked up at him, eyes sharp, “The photo you gave me last time, are you sure it was from Xia Guohua’s desk?”

Caught off guard by the question, Jian Xuan became somewhat flustered, but quickly calmed down, and affirmed, “Yes, I personally got it from his office.”

While speaking, his hands that hung to his side clenched into a fist, his palms began to sweat a bit.

Bo Jingyan quickly caught a fleeting panic in his eyes, chuckled to himself, and then suddenly asked, “Last night, I think I saw Shen Qing at the old house.”

“…”

The room fell dead silent, so much so that it was almost suffocating.

A hint of nervousness crossed Jian Xuan’s eyes. He steadied his emotions and meticulously replied, “We arranged for someone to watch the old house. These days, we haven’t spotted the young madam’s figure there. Young Master, are you sure it was the young madam you saw?”

Bo Jingyan coldly stared at him, his eyes dark and inscrutable.

Jian Xuan swallowed hard, his Adam’s apple rolling.

After a while, Bo Jingyan finally looked away and coldly ordered, “Since we arranged for someone to watch, then keep a careful eye. Once you notice Shen Qing’s whereabouts, inform me immediately.”

“Yes, Mr. President.” Jian Xuan bowed his head in acknowledgement.

After giving his order, Bo Jingyan dismissed him.

A moment after he left, Bo Jingyan picked up the photo from the table. His face darkened as he stared at the radiant girl in the picture.

The situation was becoming increasingly interesting.

Someone was playing a game of cat and mouse with him, and Shen Qing was the bait in this game!

As for the role Xia Qingtian played in this—in the game, was she the mouse or the bait?

He would have to find out personally.

…

The next day.

After work, Xia Qingtian, as usual, came to the villa to make dinner. Following her principle of having as little contact with Bo Jingyan as possible, she sent the dinner up and was about to leave when the butler stopped her.

“Miss Xia, the young master is working late tonight. He wants you to bring a late-night snack to the study room at 10.”

Ten o’clock?!

Xia Qingtian glanced at the clock on the wall. It was only 6 o’clock now and she had to stay for another four hours!

“Before that, Miss Xia, you can take a rest in the guest room.”, the butler said in a warm tone.

“Okay,” Xia Qingtian, who could not refuse, reluctantly agreed.

The butler led her to the guest room on the second floor. Once inside, Xia Qingtian looked around the room.

The room was well equipped, with a bed, a sofa and a shower room!

“Miss Xia, please rest here. If you need anything, feel free to call the maid outside” the butler stood at the door, kindly said, and before leaving, he still thoughtfully closed the door.

After the butler left.

Xia Qingtian lay on the couch and relaxed, took out her phone and happily caught up on her TV shows.

Time flew by and soon it was 9 o’clock.

Xia Qingtian noticed that it was time, got up from the sofa, and suddenly heard the sound of a car outside.

She went over to the French window, pulled back the curtain, and looked outside. A white Bentley was driving in from the main gate and finally parked in front of the villa’s fountain.

A tall figure quickly stepped out from the car.

The distance was too great, Xia Qingtian only saw a silhouette and could not make out the person’s appearance.

Was it a guest of Bo Jingyan’s?

Should she prepare an extra late snack then?

With that in mind, Xia Qingtian let go of the curtain, mumbling to herself in her heart.

Meanwhile, downstairs in the villa.

The butler, seeing Shen Yaxuan step out of the car, greeted him with a smile, “Mr. Shen, the young master is in the study room.”

Shen Yaxuan looked at him, nodded, and followed him into the villa.

They arrived at the upstairs study room.

The butler opened the door for him. Shen Yaxuan walked in and saw Bo Jingyan working at his desk. Waving the document in his hand, he said in a playful tone, “Jingyan, you should thank me for this.”

Bo Jingyan, not quite understanding, looked at him and asked coldly, “What is it?”

“The hotel matter that I promised to check for you,” Shen Yaxuan said, tossing the document onto the table and giving a wickedly triumphant smile.

“But the surveillance outside your room that night was malfunctioning, so we could only check the surveillance in the elevator. I had the staff on duty that day look up the system, and they found nine women fitting the description. They’ve clipped the surveillance photos and put them in this envelope.”

Surveillance photos?

Bo Jingyan’s face darkened, he grabbed the document, quickly opened it, and pulled out a stack of photos from within.

Flipping through them, one by one.

Suddenly!

A familiar face caught his eye.

Bo Jingyan stared hard at the photo, an element of shock flickered across his eyes.

It was Xia Qingtian!!!

She was also at that hotel that night!!!
