The maid glanced at the man before her and naturally didn’t dare to speak freely about her master’s whereabouts, as she couldn’t tell whether this man was a friend or foe.
She glanced at the man but did not respond.
The man seemed to understand the reason for her silence.
As a servant, she naturally couldn’t divulge the master’s whereabouts to a stranger. Realizing this, the man didn’t say much but handed her a document folder.
If it hadn’t been necessary for him to leave Jingcheng this afternoon and return to City X for the New Year, he wouldn’t have personally come to Nangong Villa.
Unfortunately, he had already made several phone calls, but Lady Nangong’s cell phone had remained turned off.
The maid looked at the yellow document folder he handed over, clueless about its contents.
"For Lady Nangong. I hope you will personally deliver it to her." As a private detective, he adhered to certain professional ethics. Had it not been necessary to leave in the afternoon and had he been able to contact Tang Yuyan, he wouldn’t have had to hand over the investigation results to a maid.
Facing the man’s stern expression, the maid looked at him and then at the document folder in his hand, her face immediately becoming alert.
Who knew what was inside that folder? What if someone harbored ill intentions toward the lady?
Seeing the maid’s vigilant eyes, the man almost wanted to laugh, "Rest assured, this is something your lady asked me to investigate. If you’re really afraid I’m a bad person, you can verify my identity with her, then let her look at the contents."
Eyeing him, the maid was half-convinced, but ultimately hesitantly reached out and took the document folder.
"Please make sure it gets into Lady Nangong’s hands, because this is very important to her."
The man observed the maid’s facial expressions as he spoke, hoping she wouldn’t be too careless.
The maid looked at him and finally nodded in agreement.
Only after she nodded did the man turn and leave.
Back in his car, he called Tang Yuyan again, "Hello, the number you have dialed is not answering. Please leave a message after the ’beep’..."
The maid went back inside and looked at the document folder in her hands. Since it belonged to the lady, she naturally did not dare to open it.
Going upstairs, she planned to personally place the documents in the master and mistress’s bedroom. However, as she had reached the corner of the staircase on the second floor, perhaps because she was inspecting the thick document folder, she failed to see Nangong Feifei coming toward her.
"Um!" She collided head-on with her, and in an instant, the document folder fell from the maid’s hands, revealing a large portion of the material inside.
"I’m sorry, Miss! I...I didn’t mean to, I’m sorry!"
Seeing Nangong Feifei standing in front of her, the maid awkwardly apologized several times!
Knowing the young mistress had a temper that wasn’t very good and had worsened after her leg became disabled!
Nangong Feifei just coldly glanced at her, then immediately, her gaze fell on the document folder on the ground.
When she saw the exposed document, her brows furrowed slightly.
Was it her imagination? Had she just seen a photo of Gu Qiangwei?
The maid looked at her and, seeing that she did not speak, quickly squatted down to pick up the documents from the floor, put them back into the document folder, bowed to Nangong Feifei, and then turned to walk toward Tang Yuyan and Nangong Mingchuan’s bedroom.
Standing in place, Nangong Feifei kept her eyes on the maid’s retreating figure.
