Chapter 722: Twisted Mission
Chen Xinwan held the brown paper bag in her hand, fearing it was a death warrant.
She placed the brown paper bag on the trash can, constantly retreating, afraid that if it were a bomb, it would explode and harm her.
Just as Chen Xinwan was about to call the police, the person who had handed her the item returned.
Riding a motorcycle, he shouted angrily, "Those are documents! It's a document! Not a bomb!"
Infuriated!
He took on this task, and another goal was to ensure the person opened and looked at it.
Who knows who issued such a twisted task!
He almost couldn't complete the task, and wouldn't have gotten paid either!
Chen Xinwan looked at the file bag on the trash can and then at the raging man.
"Open it and take a look; it's about your daughter!" The man wearing a helmet on the motorcycle sped away.
Daughter?
"Isn't that my Qiaoqiao darling!"
Chen Xinwan took a pair of gloves from her bag, picked up the file bag, opened it, and shook out its contents.
Inside was just a single sheet of paper, with no other dangerous items.
Chen Xinwan began to wonder why these people were looking for her.
Nevertheless, she picked up the sheet of paper to check what was written on it.
After a glance, she was completely stunned.
"How can this be..."
Chen Xinwan was in disbelief.
——
Li Xuelan organized a dinner party, inviting the Bai Family to join them for a meal.
The Li Family members, of course, were also present.
Upon learning that Li Xuelan had returned, Grandpa Bai and Granny Bai began to gossip.
"Why did Li Xuelan return? She fell out with Old Li, yet she dares to come back."
Grandpa Bai: "Maybe she's out of money."
Nan Qiao chuckled, "Grandpa, you're quite humorous."
Granny Bai said with a laugh, "Your grandpa isn't being humorous, he's spot on. We've known Li Xuelan for many years. Even though the relationship wasn't great, we do know her character."
Grandpa Bai: "Whether it's for money or not, with Old Li not waking up, she won't get a dime. Also, we don't know when Old Li will wake up. The house is about to be stolen, yet he sleeps soundly."
That last sentence was said with a sigh by Grandpa Bai.
Granny Bai, thinking of Old Mr. Li's condition being managed by Nan Qiao, quickly changed the topic.
"Old man, Li Xuelan invited us to have dinner with the family. Are you going? What's the best gift to bring?"
Grandpa Bai instantly understood, realizing his wife was changing the subject and regretted not being careful with his words.
"Let's bring some gifts since she's invited us for dinner. After all, we haven't seen each other for many years. Not for anyone but for Old Li's sake—she is his sister, after all."
Nan Qiao: "Grandpa, Grandma, should Li Yehan and I also prepare a gift? What should we prepare? Maybe you could help us decide."
Granny Bai: "Qiaoqiao, where's your mom? Normally she would be off work by now. She knows you're coming back for dinner today, so she should come back early, and she could also help with the gift decision."
Grandpa Bai: "Xinwan is also busy. We, the elders, can help with the gift preparations. The kids nowadays face so much pressure and have so much to do; as their elders, we need to help out more."
"Thank you, Grandpa and Grandma, having you is wonderful." Nan Qiao leaned against Granny Bai, coquettishly.
When Chen Xinwan entered, she saw the warm scene between the grandparents and grandchild.
The scene was so full of love that it calmed the restless feelings in Chen Xinwan's heart.
With ease, she walked in smiling.
Chen Xinwan was holding a big doll and had two roast ducks in her other hand.
"Qiaoqiao, look at the big doll Mommy bought for you. I heard the My Melody series is popular now. Mommy thought it looked nice and got you one."
Nan Qiao stood up, puzzled, not understanding why Chen Xinwan suddenly gave her a doll.
However, it was common for Chen Xinwan to give presents, so Nan Qiao was used to it.
"Thanks, Mom." Nan Qiao took the doll. It was fluffy and comfortable to hold.
"I also bought two roast ducks; we'll have them for dinner tonight."
Liu Feng came out. Chen Xinwan handed her the roast ducks, washed her hands, and sat beside Nan Qiao.
"Xinwan, you came just in time. We were discussing what gift to give to Li Xuelan; your input would be helpful."
Chen Xinwan said, "Li Xuelan invited us to dinner; bringing a gift is appropriate. I'll take care of the gift."
Nan Qiao touched the big doll, feeling that Chen Xinwan seemed off today.
...
Sister Ling, who was injured, was still recovering.
Her complexion wasn't good because the hoe Nan Shan used was poisoned.
She's now poisoned.
"Boss, we've sent Shi Qi to Qing University and also sent the documents to Chen Xinwan. It's up to her whether she believes it."
Sister Ling held a bowl of dark medicine, chuckling sinisterly, "Regardless of whether she believes it, this document will plant a seed of doubt in her mind. Once the seed takes root and grows, she'll have no choice but to think more about it!"
After drinking the bowl of medicine, Sister Ling felt a warm satisfaction.
"I can't wait! If we can't deal with that little bastard Nan Shan, we'll target Nan Qiao!"
At the very least, someone must not be at ease!
"Boss, your wishes will come true!" said her subordinate deferentially.
A crooked smile lifted the corners of Sister Ling's lips, full of malice.
It's a wonderful feeling when things are going just as she planned.
"How's the search for the Ghost Doctor going? I believe only he can cure my poison."
The subordinate showed an awkward expression, cautiously speaking, "Boss, sorry, but we haven't contacted the Ghost Doctor yet."
"What!"
Sister Ling lost her temper again, flipping the medicine bowl.
"Still haven't found the Ghost Doctor; what good are you! Without the Ghost Doctor, how can I rid myself of the poison!"
The subordinate kept his head down, not daring to lift it or meet Sister Ling's eye.
"The Ghost Doctor's whereabouts are unpredictable, like a phantom. I've also heard he's not taking any cases currently, no matter how much money is offered."
Upon hearing this, Sister Ling finally lost her composure.
"Find him! No matter the cost, bring him to me!"
"Yes, I'll go find him right away." The subordinate slunk away.
Leaning against the headboard, Sister Ling couldn't understand. Doesn't the Ghost Doctor want to make money?
How can she not deal with a doctor by offering a high price?
...
At this moment, Nan Qiao was sitting in front of the computer, typing on the keyboard. The keyboard clacked, and a line of text appeared in the chat box.
"No taking cases, too busy lately."
"Boss, this person offered ten million! Are you really not taking the case?"
Nan Qiao: "No."
Things have been too hectic recently, and she didn't want to risk exposure over this.
With so many eyes watching her, even a slight mistake could get her exposed, so she had to act cautiously.
"I heard that the poison in this person is quite similar to the Qian He Poison, which is very rare. Boss, if you don't take action, I think this person might just kick the bucket."
Nan Qiao was about to refuse but paused, typing: "Then I'll go take a look."
