Chapter 348: Chapter 348: Widow-to-Be_1

Translator: 549690339

The speaker was a woman, about twenty-five or twenty-six years old, who looked mature and quite attractive.

She was also wearing a purple dress.

Bro Song had said that purple added to the charm.

“Widow Li Zhizhi, hurry up and tell us, what do you know?” an elite woman urged.

Li Zhizhi was angry, “Shut up, don’t call me that!”

Because although she was young, she had the face and figure of a widow.

She had not even had a boyfriend, let alone got married, but she was mockingly called a widow.

Every time she heard these words, Li Zhizhi would get very angry.

“Alright, let’s talk business first,” Bai Xiaoya interjected, urging Li Zhizhi to hurry up.

Li Zhizhi pursed her lips and said, “I have a friend who experienced something similar.

First, her company’s website was inexplicably attacked, and then one after another, the company executives had accidents.

After that, the entire industry was taken over by someone else.

That friend of mine couldn’t withstand the blow and ended up on the rooftop.” After thinking about it, what Nuonuo went through was the same as what my friend had experienced.”

The faces of the people present turned grave.

Bai Xiaoya spoke with furrowed brows, “If the two incidents were done by the same person or organization, then we would all be in danger.”

The rest of the elite women also spoke up.

“Ladies, this is a matter of great importance. Let’s all activate our resources and investigate.”

“Exactly, such sneaky backstabbers are incredibly hard to guard against.”

“We must root them out.”

An Nuonuo bowed to everyone once again, “Thank you all, I’m deeply grateful.” The families behind these elite women were involved in a myriad of industries. Their networks and channels were also extremely powerful.

With so many forces joining, it was believed that news would come soon.

Even if they couldn’t find the culprit for the time being, whoever was behind it would hkely he low for a while upon seeing such a large response.

By the time An Nuonuo returned home, it was already past eight in the evening.

As she walked into the living room, she saw Jiang Xu on the phone.

“Hmm, go check him out thoroughly. I won’t say more now, your boss is back.” After tossing his phone aside, Jiang Xu went over and scooped An Nuonuo up spinning her in circles right where they stood.

Having spent just seven or eight hours apart, Jiang Xu felt an overwhelming longing.                              b

An Nuonuo wrapped her arms around Jiang Xu’s neck, “Who were you talking to just now?”    °

“Liu Dahai,” Jiang Xu responded as he set her down, “There’s someone I overlooked before, so I told him to do a check.”

“Who is it?”

“Lu Yi!” The cold light flickered in Jiang Xu’s eyes, “He has a criminal record the motive, and the capability.

It’S just that because he was in partnership with Lu Chao, I subconsciously overlooked him.”

An Nuonuo also shared what she gained from attending the gathering today. “Hahaha, my future wife is so capable,” Jiang Xu laughed as he pecked her face “Well done.”    ’

With the help of those elite women, it was believed that it wouldn’t take long to root out that filthy rat.

The couple went to bed early that night.

Tomorrow, Jiang Xu had to visit the Bai Family, and he needed to be well-rested.

The next morning, around ten o’clock, Bai Xiaoya sent a driver to pick up Jiang

An Nuonuo stayed at home.

The whole villa was guarded by about thirty bodyguards, inside and out. Comprehensive surveillance with no blind spots plus infrared.

Even the best martial artist with a crooked mouth couldn’t sneak in without a trace.

After Jiang Xu went to the Bai Family’s home, he also visited some of the local large families through the Bai Family’s introductions, which served as an initial meeting and established friendly relations.

Because An Nuonuo had joined the Hundred Flowers Club, the local families were quite amiable towards Jiang Xu.

As long as you don’t cause trouble again, it’s fine for everyone to do business peacefully.”

Upon returning home, Jiang Xu immediately took off his suit jacket.

In the living room, An Nuonuo put down what she was holding as soon as she saw Jiang Xu return.

She got up and went to the kitchen to fetch him a hangover remedy soup. The socializing today was very important, and Jiang Xu had drunk a lot over several occasions.

Now, he felt completely dizzy.

He took the hangover remedy soup and gulped it down in a few swallows.

After belching, he felt much clearer-headed.

Having a virtuous and sensible girlfriend at home is wonderful.

No matter how late or how tired he was from socializing outside, coming home could always soothe his body and mind.

“Go take a shower first, I’ve prepared the water for you.”

“Mhm, wait for me here.”

He walked into the bathroom.

The bathtub was filled with water, and clean clothes were hung to the side.

Bathrobes and slippers were all ready.

He undressed and stepped into the bathtub.

This bathtub came with a heat-preserving function, and the temperature was just right.

As soon as he got in, Jiang Xu couldn’t help but let out a moan.

It felt so comfortable.

All the tiredness disappeared.

His entire being entered a state of blankness.

Though the past few days had been tough, it was all worth it.

The mud and thorns on the road ahead had been almost entirely cleared.

If only he could flush out that darn rat, then he could look forward to the winter break and the New Year’s holiday with peace of mind.

After more than ten minutes, Jiang Xu came out wrapped in a bath towel.

A hot bath evaporated the remaining alcohol, leaving him refreshed and energetic.

“Knitting a sweater?” Jiang Xu sat down next to An Nuonuo.

“Yes,” the girl nodded, her hands moving without pause: “The weather is gradually getting cooler, and now is the right time to make them.

Besides yours, I also need to prepare sets for my parents, my brother, and my aunts and uncles.”

“That’s too time-consuming,” Jiang Xu embraced her shoulders: “Just knit for

me, we can buy for the others in the stores.”

“It’s no trouble,” An Nuonuo touched her forehead to Jiang Xu’s: “I do it when I have nothing else to do, it helps me unwind mentally.”

Since she wanted to, Jiang Xu let her be.

Lying on her legs with his face against her stomach, he soon fell asleep.

An Nuonuo stopped knitting.

She gently caressed Jiang Xu’s cheek, her tenderness like water.

TWO days later at noon, Liu Dahai brought Jiang Xu two pieces of news.

One was that Jia Tengying and the three assassins had all committed suicide in their cells.

The other was about Lu Yi; he had investigated thoroughly, and it was highly hkely that Lu Yi had nothing to do with the matter.

This cast a shadow over Jiang Xu’s heart.

Jiang Xu wasn’t surprised about the death of the three assassins.

People in that line of work should be prepared for such an end.

But the fact that Jia Tengying had also died seemed rather fishy.

However, it could also indirectly suggest that someone wanted to send Jiang

Xu a message to let bygones be bygones.

This matter, it seemed, was concluded.

Of course, Jiang Xu wouldn’t let it go so easily.

But since all leads were cut off for now, he had to find another way.

In the afternoon, after class, Jiang Xu met An Nuonuo at the school’s milk tea shop.

With her hands clasped behind her back, she hopped over to Jiang Xu: “Close your eyes, I have a surprise for you.”
