On the phone, after hearing this answer, Tang Yuyan instinctively looked up at Gu Qiangwei.
"What’s wrong? Why are you suddenly asking about this over the phone?" In Nangong Mingchuan’s view, a report wasn’t such an important matter, but since his wife had called specially to ask him about it, it indicated that something was up.
"It’s nothing, you should rest for now. I’ll tell you about it tomorrow after Xixi and I are discharged from the hospital."
It was hard to explain over the phone, and with the report gone, they couldn’t figure out what had happened right away, so Tang Yuyan didn’t continue with the topic. Instead, after saying this, she hung up.
After the call was disconnected, Nangong Mingchuan fell into deep thought.
Although his wife had asked him to come back and rest, with so many things happening, how could he possibly rest easy?
Having watched the video, his mind was already in great turmoil. Now, hearing his wife say that a report was missing made him even more suspicious of why Feifei had disguised herself as a nurse and appeared in the elevator.
Unable to make head or tail of it, he had no intention of resting at home and, picking up his phone, he left the study to head back to the hospital once again.
And just as he left the study and rushed down the stairs, Nangong Feifei also stepped out of her room.
Seeing the retreating figure of Nangong Mingchuan heading downstairs, and looking at the study he had just come out of, coupled with the memory of the pink pearl he held at the hospital entrance the day before yesterday, Nangong Feifei’s heart grew increasingly uneasy.
If her father found out that all of this was her doing, and that she had even thought about killing Tang Yuyan, he would undoubtedly slay her himself!
The more she thought about it, the more uneasy her heart became.
It wasn’t until she heard the sound of an engine in the courtyard and was sure that Nangong Mingchuan had left the house, that she turned and went into his and Tang Yuyan’s room.
Surveying the entire room, she was looking for the pink pearl.
She had been observing for the past two days. Apart from the hospital and home, her father hadn’t gone anywhere else. So the pearl was either on him or hidden somewhere in the house.
And before he could take it out for further investigation, she had to find it and destroy it!
However, after searching everywhere, even overturning Tang Yuyan’s vanity and jewelry box, she still hadn’t seen the pink pearl.
Tang Yuyan and Nangong Xi were due to be discharged from the hospital tomorrow. Once they were out, he would certainly investigate this matter. No, she had to find it today!
Standing in the vast room, she looked around again, her brow furrowing slightly.
Moments later, she suddenly dashed out of the room and headed to Nangong Mingchuan’s study!
Upon entering, she went straight to Nangong Mingchuan’s desk, pulled open the drawer, and searched it through again.
Then, she searched other spots, still finding nothing!
Where could it be? Was it still on him, or had he already handed it over to someone else for investigation?
No, she had been watching discreetly all along, and he hadn’t given the pearl to anyone. The only places he had been to were the bedroom and study.
But after searching everywhere, the pink pearl was nowhere to be found, and Nangong Feifei grew even more frantic.
Just as she was about to leave, something caught her eye in the corner of her vision.
Next to the laptop, a silver object caught her sight.
Although it wasn’t clear what it was, she had a vague sense that something about the item was suspicious.
She walked over, sat down at the desk, and examined the silver USB drive for a long time.
The laptop was still on. Looking at the glowing screen, Nangong Feifei inserted the USB drive into it—
As the first video appeared on the screen, the familiar figure standing in the elevator, wasn’t it herself?
