Theoretically, she and Li Xianxian weren’t very familiar; Li Xianxian had no motive to kill her.
But why, after seeing Li Xianxian, did she die?
Moreover, the more Ni Yan looked at Li Xianxian’s face, the more she thought she resembled someone.
Who did she resemble?
Ni Yan squinted her eyes.
Right! It was Li Shu!
Especially that mole on the left cheek, it was exactly like Li Shu’s.
Could Li Xianxian be Li Shu’s daughter?
In her past life, Li Shu spent her lifetime with Mu Jinbao. Aside from knowing that Li Shu had a son later on, Ni Yan never knew that Li Shu also had a daughter…
What on earth was going on?
The more Ni Yan thought about it, the more uneasy she felt; she was still pondering it as she walked out of the ward.
“Yangyang, what’s the matter?” Mo Qishen asked when he saw her absentmindedly walking out of the ward.
Ni Yan gave a faint smile, “Nothing, perhaps the ward is just too stuffy.”
As she finished speaking, Ni Yan continued, “Who was that girl that slit her wrists? What’s her relationship with your family?”
Mo Qishen replied, “Actually, there’s not much of a relationship. Her name is Li Xianxian, she is a sophomore student at Beijing Normal University and she works part-time as a personal assistant to my eldest nephew at a base. Because she helped my mother before and she’s an orphan, my mother has been quite close to her and has even considered her a potential granddaughter-in-law.”
So, it turns out that Li Xianxian had such deep ties with the Mo Family. Ni Yan continued, “She’s an orphan?”
If Li Xianxian was indeed an orphan, then wouldn’t the hypothesis of her being Li Shu’s daughter be invalid?
She knew too little about Li Xianxian from her past life, and for the moment, couldn’t connect any dots.
“Yes,” Mo Qishen nodded, “do you know her?”
Ni Yan shook her head, “No, I just find her somewhat familiar.”
“Oh.” Mo Qishen nodded.
They reached the hospital lobby.
Ni Yan continued, “Brother Mo, I have something to attend to. I must go now, please say goodbye to the old lady for me later.”
“I’ll let the driver take you,” Mo Qishen said.
“No need,” Ni Yan smiled, “I have something to do downtown.”
“Alright,” Mo Qishen nodded, “Take care on your way.”
“Yes, I will.” Ni Yan nodded, turned, and left.
Soon, her figure disappeared outside the hospital.
Mo Qishen leaned against the door frame, after a while, he pulled a cigarette out of his pocket, lit it slowly, propped it in his mouth, looking carefree yet dignified.
After leaving, Ni Yan went directly to a private detective agency.
Just like in the movies, the detective wore a black suit, a black hat atop his head, even holding a pipe, appearing very professional.
“Hello, beautiful young lady, how may I assist you?”
Although the detective had seen many beauties, he was slightly stunned when he saw Ni Yan.
He had seen many beauties, but a beauty with such spirit was a first.
Some people, despite being beautiful, lack soul.
But the young girl in front of him was different.
Her beauty emanated from within.
A rare Oriental beauty.
“Help me investigate two people,” Ni Yan slowly opened her mouth.
“Which two?” the detective handed a pen and paper to Ni Yan, “Please write the details on the paper.”
Ni Yan took the pen and paper, in no time, the sound of “rustling” filled the air.
About ten minutes later, she handed the paper back to the detective, “These two people.”
“Li Shu, Li Xianxian?”
Ni Yan nodded, “Just investigate what’s written on the paper. How many days will it take for the results to be known?”
“The things you want to investigate are relatively simple, so results should come in about a month,” the detective replied.
The transportation of this era is not developed, going anywhere required an introductory letter and certification. Moreover, not every city had an airport, so return trips tended to be time-consuming.
Ni Yan continued, “Then I’ll come back in a month.”
“Alright,” the detective nodded, “Please deposit the travel expenses, hardship allowance, board, and lodging and investigation deposit first, with the full amount being given for travel expenses and board and lodging.”
“Howmuch?” asked Ni Yan.
“The total cost of these fees is 300.” the detective continued, “After the task is completed, you still need to pay another 500.”
Since there was no technical skill required for the investigation Ni Yan requested, as long as he ran around and asked a few people, the information should be available, so the price wasn’t high. Things like rich housewives wanting to know if their men were having an affair outside, those cost more, basically starting from two thousand.
