Chapter 887 - 868: A Favor to Ask
Ji Nanming finally managed to handle Shen Youran and came out from Half Mountain Manor.
Getting into the car, Ed looked at his boss with a worried expression.
"Young Master Ji, what’s wrong?" Ed asked while driving away from Half Mountain Manor, "Were you discovered?"
But after saying this, Ed shook his head himself; if he’d been discovered, Ji Nanming would probably look much more upset.
"Elina said she’ll introduce a girlfriend to you another day."
"Oh, let’s forget about that!" Ed quickly declined, "Madam wants to introduce a girlfriend to you? In national terms, that’s arranged dating, kinda interesting."
"Interesting, you go."
After Ji Nanming said this, Ed fell completely silent, thinking if he annoyed Ji Nanming, this man might really send him out on a date instead.
Ed silently rolled his eyes; luckily, Ji Nanming was sitting in the back seat and wouldn’t notice.
"How’s the matter with Lin Qianqian going?" Ji Nanming suddenly changed the topic.
Ed hesitated for a moment, "Well... Qin Mobai on that side refuses to let go, intending to convict Lin Qianqian. Nancheng is their territory after all; we, outsiders, can’t overpower the local powerhouses!"
Ji Nanming frowned slightly; Ed wasn’t wrong. If Qin Mobai insisted on holding on, getting Lin Qianqian out would really be a difficult task.
"Where is he now? I want to have a word with him."
"He’s gone to Dali with the young lady."
"Dali?" Honeymoon?
Ji Nanming’s eyebrows furrowed even more, yet he felt conflicted.
Qin Mobai and Lou Xi are married; what’s inappropriate about the two of them going on a honeymoon? They even slept together while he wasn’t aware!
So, never covet someone else’s wife, or surely, you’ll be the one who gets hurt.
"I heard they went to find the young lady’s friend, but her friend returned, and they’re still staying there," Ed glanced at Ji Nanming’s expression from the rearview mirror, noticing a bit of gloom.
Ed had witnessed the relationship between Ji Nanming and Xu Haitang, and also how Ji Nanming gradually developed feelings for Lou Xi.
But Ji Nanming knew he and Lou Xi were impossible, so he could only do things he believed were good for Lou Xi.
"Alright." Ji Nanming nodded, "Stop the car, I need to call Qin Mobai."
So, Ed pulled the car over to the side of the road, and Ji Nanming got out, taking out a cigarette to smoke.
Recently, Ji Nanming’s smoking habit had increased significantly, the kind he couldn’t control.
Standing on the sidewalk smoking, he exuded a certain kind of melancholy beauty.
He was making a call to Qin Mobai to resolve Lin Qianqian’s matter.
...
Dali, at an inn.
Qin Mobai watched Lou Xi play games with Qi Yufei; the little guy no longer had the initial intense possessive desire towards Lou Xi, after all, his little secrets were in Qin Mobai’s hands!
Then, Qin Mobai heard his phone ringing. He took it out and saw Ji Nanming’s name displayed on it.
He signaled to Lou Xi, then walked out of the inn to take the call.
"What’s up?" Qin Mobai said coolly to Ji Nanming.
Rivals in love probably can never get along well; naturally, Qin Mobai couldn’t be polite to Ji Nanming.
"I have a favor to ask."
Qin Mobai felt he might have misheard; Ji Nanming actually used the word "ask."
"Lin Qianqian?" Qin Mobai had previously heard from Lu Li that Ji Nanming had visited Lin Qianqian at the police station and even arranged a lawyer for her.
"Yes, let her go."
"Why should I do that?"
"Because..." Ji Nanming paused, "because she has a blood relation with Lou Xi."
