1691 I Have Evidence
“Well… I think this place looks good. Both the layout and fitout are quite nice, so I want to use your place as a reference. I’ll get my staff to help me renovate my house in the same way,” He Ning praised.
He Ning smiled awkwardly. If he had known that Qiao Mei’s culinary skills were so good back then, he definitely would not have attacked the Xia family so blatantly. In Qiao Mei’s eyes right now, there was nothing good about him at all.
He must quickly find ways to make Qiao Mei like him more. Otherwise, when He Mei’s baby was born in a few months’ time, Qiao Mei would definitely vent all her anger on him. At that time, he would not be able to get her to be his chef!
“I have ordered a pair of gold locks for your two children. Consider it my first-meeting gift to them,” He Ning said as he took out two necklaces with gold lock pendants from his pocket.
“Then I’ll thank you on their behalf.” Qiao Mei quickly took the gold locks from He Ning. It would be a waste not to take something for free. Since He Ning was so stupid and rich, she would accept the gift.
He Ning sat quietly in the living room and looked at Qiao Mei. He did not speak or move and just sat there motionlessly.
“Don’t you have something to say to me? You can start,” Qiao Mei said.
“There’s no hurry. Isn’t it dinner time now? Let’s have dinner together!” He Ning said with a smile.
“There’s no dinner in our house tonight,” Qiao Mei said.
“I’ve already come to your house to do you such a big favor. It’s not too much for you to cook me a meal, is it?” He Ning said aggrievedly.
“I’m not the one who’s begging you to tell me the information you have. If you don’t want to tell me, then leave immediately. No one’s stopping you,” Qiao Mei said disdainfully.
He Ning was stunned. Someone had told him earlier that the Xia family’s investigation was progressing very slowly. The reason why he took the initiative to help Qiao Mei was so that she would owe him a favor. Why did the current situation seem different from what he had imagined?
Could it be that the information he was given was wrong?
“That’s not what I mean… But you still have to give me some benefits for what I’m going to tell you,” He Ning said.
“How about I give you a bottle of medicinal wine?” Qiao Mei asked.
He Ning was not tempted by the medicinal wine at all. He still had three 100-year-old ginsengs in his possession! To him, a bottle of medicinal wine was no different from the ginsengs. What he wanted was for Qiao Mei to cook for him every day.
He had no idea that Qiao Mei had already managed to extract ginseng juice with a higher concentration. He was being too hasty in discounting the value.
He wondered when He Mei would finally give birth. Once she gave birth to Xia Zhe’s child, he would be able to have his chef!
“How can one bottle be enough? How about this, you give me one bottle every month,” He Ning said.
“Hmph, you wish. You should leave my house and stop bothering me,” Qiao Mei said impatiently.
“If you have something to say, then say it quickly. If the information you give me is not worth this bottle of medicinal wine, I won’t give it to you. Just spit it out!” Qiao Mei said sternly.
Qiao Mei looked at He Ning’s face suspiciously. Xia Mao had found some clues related to Du Huai, but Du Huai was a very meticulous person. His style of doing things was similar to He Ning. The Xia family could only find out that this matter was related to the Du family and the biggest suspect was Du Miao, but there was nothing to suggest that Du Huai was involved.
“Are you telling the truth?” Qiao Mei asked.
“Of course I’m telling the truth. I can also let you take down Du Huai in one fell swoop and successfully eliminate Du Huai and his subordinates,” He Ning said.
“How can I believe what you say is true?” Qiao Mei continued to ask.
“It’s not difficult. Just hand over these documents to Xia Wen and tell him what I just said. I believe they will definitely know if I’m telling the truth,” He Ning said.
Qiao Mei took the documents. The file was heavy and there seemed to be a lot of information inside! It must have taken a long time to gather all this evidence. Could it be that He Ning had already long set his sights on Du Huai?
While Qiao Mei was still thinking about the authenticity and credibility of the documents, He Ning was already thinking about what he wanted to ask Qiao Mei to cook for him tonight.
