Chapter 923: Searching for Evidence

ed to her, looking her up and down."Then, thank you, Second Master Zhong, for your understanding." Jiang Qingran said softly, as if she hadn't seen his lecherous gaze. "But today, in front of so many...Hearing the noise, Feng Mu finally took a step and walked to the door.

He pushed open the door, looked at the village head outside, and reminded him, “Sorry, she’s asleep. Is there anything you’d like to say to me”

"So that's how it is. You guys must have been exhausted yesterday, too. I heard from the doctor that you had a high fever yesterday, oh my goodness, that worried me so much. This isn't... I came over first thing this morning." The village head said, then picked up the chicken soup beside him and reminded him, "I was afraid you wouldn't have time to eat, so I quickly asked my family to make some chicken soup for you. Come try it!"

Saying that, he handed the chicken soup to Feng Mu's face.

"Thank you." Feng Mu tightened his lips and reached out to take it.

But just then, Feng Mu was still unwilling to leave, and he even occasionally glanced towards Meng Lan inside the house.

Seeing the situation, Feng Mu immediately spoke up, “She’s sleeping. If you have something to say, you can tell me.”

"Well then, there's no difference in telling you anyway. Just let me say it directly." The village head spoke with caution, "Ever since you told Miss Meng about Xiaonan's wrongdoing, I've been keeping a watchful eye. And sure enough, I really did run into something."

Saying that, the village head cleared his throat and continued,

I had been keeping an eye on things since last night. I even stationed some people outside Xiaonan's house to keep watch. That's when I found out that every time it was midnight, Xiaonan would sneak back home and take a peek at his wife and children.

"After each visit, he would erase all traces and then secretly leave before dawn."

After hearing this, Feng Mu's handsome face sank slightly, his eyes narrowed.

This Xiao Nan is quite clever.

Even the most intelligent person can't hide their flaws forever. How long does he plan to be on the run

As long as there are children, he will definitely be caught.

"Thank you, Village Chief," Feng Mu's thin lips curved up slightly.

The village head sighed heavily and began to explain, “Don’t be so polite. I’ve been good friends with Xiao Nan’s father for many years. Seeing him like this, I feel deeply saddened as well.”

"But there's no other way, so for Xiao Nan's sake, I can only cooperate with you to investigate this matter. Benefactor, just tell me what to do, and I will do my best to cooperate."

"You don't need to do that." Feng Mu reminded lightly.

"What"

"You just need to tell me when Xiaonan appears. You don't need to do anything else," Feng Mu looked at him, his eyes extremely heavy. "We'll handle the rest, you don't need to do anything."

Upon hearing this, a hint of surprise flashed across the village head's eyes.

But looking at Feng Mu's composed expression, the village chief felt a surge of trust welling up from within him. He gritted his teeth and nodded firmly.

"Benefactor, I believe in you."

So, the village chief softened his voice and told Feng Mu about Xiaonan's itinerary.

……

After seeing the village head off, Feng Mu finally closed the door.

"Hmm..." Just then, Menglan in bed also turned over and woke up from her sleep.

"Awake"

Feng Mu walked to the bed and gently placed the thermos on top, softly reminding, "The village chief just came by and brought some chicken soup."

"Really" Menglan's eyes lit up suddenly, "Then why didn't you wake me up I still had some questions to ask him."

"There's no need to ask, I already asked for you." Feng Mu explained in a low voice.

He said that, and also opened the thermos lid, taking all the chicken soup out of it, then pouring it into a small bowl.

Upon hearing this, Menglan's eyes widened in surprise. "You know all of this How is that possible You're not a bug living in my stomach!"

"What if I were" Feng Mu's lips curled into a slight smile. Saying that, he gently placed the thermos on the table and explained in a low voice, "If I'm not mistaken, what you want to know is Xiao Nan's whereabouts."

Upon hearing this, Menglan's heart trembled violently.

He was right.

Simply incredibly accurate!

"So you asked"

"Well, Xiaonan has already gotten in touch." Feng Mu replied calmly.

"Really" Menglan was instantly excited. She hurriedly threw back the covers and got out of bed, "What did the village head say Tell me quickly, this is really important to me."

"I know."

Feng Mu didn't tell her right away, but instead pushed the bowl of porridge in front of her, "I will tell you, but on the condition that you finish this bowl of soup."

Menglan's brows furrowed.

She hadn't had an appetite at all, but when her eyes fell on the bowl of soup in front of her, her stomach suddenly rumbled.

It...should taste really good!

Meng Lan's throat involuntarily twitched. She picked up a spoon and gently stirred the soup, letting the steam dissipate before bringing it to her mouth.

The chicken soup is very delicious.

A look of surprise flashed in Menglan's eyes, and she couldn't help but praise, "It's really delicious. Would you like to try some"

As she spoke, she lifted her head and looked at Feng Mu.

He was facing away from me, covering his mouth with his hand and coughing heavily.

Seeing this, a trace of guilt finally appeared on Menglan's face, her fingers fidgeting nervously with the hem of her dress.

She almost forgot.

Feng Mu was just a patient.

And not only did she go to take care of the patient, but she ended up needing him to take care of her instead.

Thinking about this, Menglan finally stood up, making way for the side, and softly reminded, "Feng Mu, come sit down quickly and try this soup. It's very delicious."

Feng Mu saw the worry in her eyes, a slight curve to his lips.

Then, he brought over a chair from the corner and placed it beside Menglan. "Let's eat together,"

Meng Lan smiled at him.

She didn't say much, and ate dinner with Feng Mu.

……

This breakfast was conducted in complete silence.

After the meal, Feng Mu's face was heavy before he spoke, "The village head said your guess was correct. Xiaonan didn't leave, he has been hiding in the village all along."

Next, Feng Mu truthfully recounted Xiaonan's whereabouts.

Meng Lan listened, her eyes narrowing. "He can't hide forever, so we have to use some methods."

"Well, I do have a way here that can help you get the evidence as quickly as possible. Would you like to try it" Feng Mu spoke again, his eyes gleaming with interest.

Upon hearing this, Meng Lan instantly perked up. "Really Then tell me quickly!"

Feng Mu suddenly leaned closer to her, a slight smirk playing on his lips, "I can agree, but I have one condition."u afraid of”Once this matter is settled, she won't be threatened by anyone anymore and won't have to fear anyone.Siu doesn't seem scared, she's more worried about the potential impact on his reputatio...
