Dump Husband and Run Away with Baby - C232
“I want to see your nose.” An An An finally whispered after mumbling for a long time.
“Nose? What happened to Grandma’s nose? ” Auntie Zhong looked puzzled.
“Aiyo, that’s not it. Mommy’s nose will grow when she tells a lie. I’m a bit worried.” An’an stared anxiously at Auntie Zhong’s nose.
“Oh, so that’s how it is.” Recalling the lie she had just told to Tao Tian, Auntie Zhong finally realized what was going on. She didn’t know whether to laugh or cry as she looked at the serious face of Xiao An.
“An An, listen to Grandma,” Auntie Zhong tried to think of an explanation for An An to accept, “It’s like this An An, we’re not lying, we just have to be a bit late to let Mommy know that you understand, now is not the time, so this isn’t a lie.”
“Oh, so that’s how it is. Grandmother, will your nose really not grow any longer?” An An An said worriedly.
“Don’t worry, An An. Look, isn’t grandma’s nose still fine?” Auntie Zhong said as she poked her nose to prove that he was healthy.
“Oh, that’s good.” Only then did An An An reveal a smile, and turned around to play.
Gazing at An An’s small figure, Auntie Zhong’s heart was filled with mixed feelings. She hoped that this kind of family would reunite as soon as possible. She hoped that the heavens would not make them wait too long …
“Oh, right, Tian Tian,” Auntie Zhong called out as she busied herself. She wanted to find out more about Tao Tian so that she could inform Lei Zichen so that he could help Tao Tian in the shadows.
“What’s wrong, Aunt Hui?” Tao Tian asked without even raising his head.
“Did you get anything today?” Auntie Zhong asked curiously.
“Of course I have. When I was young miss before, I had never paid attention to it.” Tao Tian didn’t hide anything as he spoke.
The financial team of Tao’s didn’t do it for more than three years. Usually, there would be an adjustment every three years or so, and today, I happen to be the only one in recent years to have to go through all the accounts after Sandy had asked me for nearly ten years to sort them out. So, it turns out that the annual infusions of funds from an unknown source are not the profits of the previous year nor the proceeds of stocks. Tao Tian reported in detail, “If it isn’t enough, I’ll find out sooner or later.”
“That’s good, but you still have to pay attention to your health and safety.” Auntie Zhong said with concern. At this moment, she already had some idea of what was going on in her heart.
“Don’t worry, I will be very careful.” Tao Yao said with a smile.
“Then you can continue. I won’t disturb you anymore.” Having said so, Auntie Zhong walked into the kitchen. Following that, the sound of dishes being washed could be heard.
Tao Yao, on the other hand, continued to work hard to discover more peculiarities in this consistent accounting.
Thinking about her brother’s hatred, she was filled with fighting spirit. She actually didn’t feel the slightest bit tired …
Ever since he had reunited with An An and Auntie Zhong, as well as the fact that he was caught off guard by them, Lei Zichen had been in a daze the entire morning. His mind was constantly churning with Auntie Zhong’s words, “I hope you can help Yao Yao …”
Help Yao Yao, how should I help him?
Lei Zichen was constantly thinking of various ways to help Tao Tian without her knowing.
Suddenly, a thought flashed through Lei Zichen’s mind as he made a call.
“Hey, boss, I haven’t contacted you in a long time. What can I do for you?” On the other end of the line was Lan Xin’s familiar voice.
“Lan Xin, what are you busy with right now?” After not seeing her for a long time, Lei Zichen greeted Lan Xin. “Is everyone alright?”
“It’s all very good. Other than handling cases all day long, we’re just gossiping. Boss, is there something you need us for?” Lanxin is the only woman in the serious case team, sharp and sensitive.
“Uh, there are some things.” Lei Zichen felt a little embarrassed that Lan Xin had asked him so straightforwardly.
“Look, I knew you called me because you had something on your mind. Don’t tell me your wedding was messed up? You must be depressed because you want to drink with us, right? But that’s because you’re so charming, so that’s why this woman put in so much effort to get you.” Lan Xin teased.
“Lanxin, stop joking, I have something important to do for you.” Lei Zichen said in a righteous tone.
“Oh? “What?” Hearing Lei Zichen’s tone, Lan Xin immediately became alert.
“Help me investigate a place. It’s an antique shop on the corner of Xing Huang Street.” Lei Zichen said softly.
“What’s wrong with that shop?” Lan Xin also returned to her work mode and asked seriously, afraid that something big had happened.
“I just feel that something is amiss. There must be some huge secret hidden within.” Lei Zichen was more convinced when he thought about how to explain it to Lan Xin.
“Boss, have you left the police force for too long that you don’t even remember the rules?” Lan Xin sighed and said, “There’s no reason. Why should we investigate him?”
“That’s fine, just use a random reason. This antique shop must be hiding some kind of secret. Last time I saw …” Lei Zichen pondered for a moment, not knowing if he should tell Lan Xin the truth.
“Boss, what did you see?” Lan Xin realized that there must be something more to this.
“Boss, if you need help, just say so. As long as it doesn’t break the law, we’ll do our best.” Lan Xin said in a very loyal manner.
It’s like this, “Lei Zichen thought for a moment before deciding to tell Lan Xin the truth.” One day, I accidentally saw Tao Weiguo sneakily go there, as if there was something unspeakable. I curiously followed him in, but found out that Tao Weiguo wasn’t there at all. Lei Zichen carefully told Lan Xin what he had seen that day.
“Boss, you are really impartial. Since the investigation revealed the head of your own family, even if your wife is no longer around, that is still your wife’s home.” Lan Xin couldn’t help teasing Lei Zichen.
“Lan Xin, what nonsense are you talking about?” Lei Zichen said with a hint of displeasure.
“Oh, I’m not good, I’m not good.” Lan Xin stuck out her tongue and whispered, “But what you said is indeed very strange. Let me think about what kind of reason should we find to investigate.” Lan Xin frowned and tried to think.
“Alright, Lan Xin, I’ll leave this matter to you and the other brothers. If you make any progress, remember to tell me!” Lei Zichen gratefully said, “That’s fine, don’t worry, but it’s not easy to deal with Tao Weiguang.” Lan Xin said meaningfully. Indeed, there were many murders in the past, and all of them were pointed at Tao Weiguang. However, in the end, they were helpless to do anything.
“In short, help me investigate this antique shop thoroughly first.” Lei Zichen said without hesitation.
“Alright, don’t worry. Leave it to me. I’ll inform you about something later!” Lan Xin readily agreed.
“Alright, that’s it.” As he put down the phone, Lei Zichen’s heart felt a little more at ease. His thoughts became clearer, and he might get busier in the future. However, when he thought about how he could help Tao Tian and protect her, he felt a sliver of happiness in his heart. He was willing to do anything he could for her …
After calming himself down, Lei Zichen once again threw himself into his work. Recently, Wisely and Uncle He had joined hands and attacked a few small companies that were supported by the West Mountain villas. Most of the ants had already bitten into their bones.
Lei Zichen spent the entire afternoon in meetings to discuss the next step of his strategic plan. Victory was in sight, and he couldn’t let his guard down.
“How about this, you guys get off work first, go back and have a good rest. Then, think carefully again about where else we need to go to improve and improve.” Lei Zichen ordered the meeting adjourned while he stayed alone in his office. There were still a lot of paperwork for him to review, and he needed more inspiration to plan for his next business strategy.
“Lei Dong, are you still not leaving?” Almost every day, Wisely had to remind Lei Zichen that it wasn’t early anymore.
“Oh, there are still a few documents. I’ll be leaving once I finish reading them. Go back first. Be careful on your way back.” Lei Zichen warned once again before lowering his head to read the document …
Watching the sun set in the west, Lei Zichen finally lifted his head up from the pile of documents. He turned his sore shoulder and stretched. The company’s people had all left. Looking at the empty office, Lei Zichen also packed up and prepared to go home.
As he drove home, his mind unconsciously kept repeating Tao Tian’s thoughts. He was clearly in close proximity and knew her every move, yet he couldn’t meet her in person. It was truly a blessing in luck for him. Recently, Irene was gradually becoming less and less harassed. He didn’t know if it was because he was thinking it through, or for some other reason, but towards this vicious woman, Lei Zichen didn’t even have the desire to meet her once.
As he was lost in thought, he accidentally drove the car to the busy street again. The streets were full of people, and it was the same as before. The first person was no longer by his side.
As they drove aimlessly along the busy street, they unknowingly arrived at the antique shop at the corner of the street.
“Yi, why are we here again?” Instead, he lit a cigarette and looked at the people on the street who were hurrying back and forth. Behind everyone was a story, a companion, then his story, and that person, how long would it take for them to reunite …
Misfortune comes both ways. Other than this word, I don’t know if there is anything better to describe it. Fate is not something that we can decide on our own. However, when we love each other very much, we stubbornly insist that we should always be together, as if we can grasp it …
As the cigarette burnt down, Lei Zichen wanted to go down to the window and throw the cigarette butt out. Unexpectedly, this glance made him see Tao Weiguang again.
“Why is he here again?” Lei Zichen became alert. He hid in the shadows and observed. Indeed, it was the servant and the antique shop. They were both dressed in casual attire, and no one could tell that he was an old man.
