Chapter 859 - 840: Make Her Reveal Herself
When Ji Nanming came out from the reception room, he saw Lu Li walking in from outside.
Lu Li’s mood wasn’t great; his emotions had been low recently, wasn’t it because Bai Lu was missing?
Even though he knew Bai Lu was in Dali, he had no way to go there, and could only wait for Lou Xi to bring her back while remaining here to work.
This pile of things weighed heavily on Lu Li, and he truly felt exhausted.
Upon seeing Ji Nanming, he was initially surprised, but the surprise quickly vanished, and he soon returned to an expressionless state, not even greeting him.
He wanted to solve the matter quickly and then go back to wait for news.
Handling Xi Siwei’s issue.
Lu Li and Ji Nanming passed by each other, simply nodding to each other as a greeting.
Later on, when Lu Li finished dealing with Xi Siwei’s matters and came out of the police station, he mentioned Ji Nanming’s case to Qin Mobai over the phone.
"Guess who I just saw at the police station?"
"Who?"
"Ji Nanming." Lu Li gossiped, "I just asked, and the people at the police station said Ji Nanming was there to see Lin Qianqian, the one who impersonated your sister-in-law. And moreover..."
"Moreover what?" What Qin Mobai cared about was what Lu Li said after "moreover".
What is Ji Nanming trying to do?
"And moreover, he hired a lawyer for Lin Qianqian, planning a not-guilty defense, and even intends to sue Xi Siwei as a victim."
After Lu Li finished speaking, there was a brief silence on the other end of the phone, with no clue as to what Qin Mobai was thinking.
"Hey, Mo Bai?" Lu Li called out, "Have you guys found Bai Lu? If you have, hurry and bring her back. Just say I won’t look for her anymore. Leaving her there, her studies are being delayed, and hiding all the time isn’t a solution."
If really roads diverge and they each go their separate ways, it’s not necessary to make Bai Lu leave Nancheng entirely.
After all, if Bai Lu stayed in Nancheng, Lu Li could occasionally see her; if not, he wouldn’t have a chance to see her at all.
"Beep beep beep—" While Lu Li was saying this, he was crossing the street, and a car whizzing by honked its horn loudly.
Lu Li had been lost in thought, truly not noticing the approaching car; it wasn’t until the car honked that he stepped back abruptly, avoiding getting hit.
"Lu Li?" Qin Mobai called out Lu Li’s name on the phone, worried something happened to him.
Lu Li stood firm before responding to Qin Mobai, "I’m fine."
"Pay attention to yourself, if I can bring her back, I’ll definitely do it, then speak nicely and please don’t make her angry again." Making Bai Lu upset would upset Lou Xi, and upsetting Lou Xi would upset Qin Mobai.
This was a cycle.
"I understand." With that, Lu Li hung up the phone.
An idea suddenly occurred to him: why passively seek Bai Lu, when he could make her show up on her own?
If he could make her appear voluntarily...
...
In Dali, Qin Mobai hung up Lu Li’s call, standing on the balcony with a troubled expression.
Ji Nanming went to the police station and wanted to help Lin Qianqian!
Does he not know that Lin Qianqian impersonated Lou Xi? Does he not know how much suffering Lou Xi went through because of Lin Qianqian’s existence?
Could it be... because she looks like Lou Xi, Ji Nanming felt sympathy for Lin Qianqian? So he’s planning to save Lin Qianqian?
Thinking of this, Qin Mobai’s brow furrowed tightly.
