Chapter 706: Chapter 706: You Know Your Place

He Nan seemed very dissatisfied with Cheng Xining’s attitude. Frowning, he said in a cold voice, "I gave her the key. Is there a problem?"

"Brother Nan." Cheng Xining looked at He Nan with a wronged expression. Shen Mianmian clearly had no good intentions, couldn’t Brother Nan see that? And yet he was actually speaking up for Shen Mianmian.

"Xining, you’re becoming more and more impolite. Mianmian is kindly helping, and this is how you react?" Ruan Yiqian, sensing the tension, immediately scolded Cheng Xining.

Only then did Shen Mianmian realize that Ruan Yiqian had come with them.

Intuitively, she felt that these three people coming together must mean something was up. Shen Mianmian quickly looked for an excuse to leave, "Big Brother He, you just arrived, you must be tired, right? Rest a bit, I’ll be going back first."

Cheng Xining muttered, "At least you know what’s good for you."

Ruan Yiqian glared at her, and she quickly shut her mouth.

Just as Shen Mianmian was about to go back to her room, He Nan said, "Change your shoes, let’s go out for dinner."

Without waiting for her answer, Ruan Yiqian added, "We didn’t eat anything on the way here, and we’re hungry now. This will be a good opportunity for all of us to have dinner together."

"I still..."

Shen Mianmian was just about to refuse when He Nan cut her off, "Hurry up, we have other things to do after."

"Then wait for me a moment, I’ll go change my shoes." Both of them had spoken, and with Big Brother He’s firm attitude, to refuse now would seem somewhat unappreciative.

Cheng Xining, frustrated, stamped her foot. Brother Nan had actually invited that wretched girl for dinner and had even noticed thoughtfully that she was wearing slippers. It infuriated her.

By the time Shen Mianmian came out with her shoes changed, the three of them were already waiting at the door. He Nan had changed into an army green woolen coat, which she keenly recognized as a new model from Lanyue.

The four of them went downstairs together. He Nan and Ruan Yiqian sported indifferent expressions, while only Cheng Xining was pouting the whole time, glaring at Shen Mianmian with her eyes.

Once in the car, Shen Mianmian and Cheng Xining sat in the back, with He Nan driving and Ruan Yiqian in the passenger seat. Ruan Yiqian seemed preoccupied, barely speaking and appearing somewhat agitated and anxious.

Shen Mianmian had thought that He Nan would drive straight to the restaurant for dinner, but to her surprise, he drove to the police station instead. Puzzled, she didn’t dare to ask too much, while Cheng Xining threw a small tantrum.

"Didn’t we say we were going to eat? I’m starving to death. Why have we come here first? Can’t we come after eating? It’s not like the person will run away."

Ruan Yiqian was not in the mood to indulge her, saying sternly, "Xining, what did you promise me before we came?"

Cheng Xining, feeling somewhat aggrieved, reluctantly said, "Alright, I’ll listen to you. If we’re here first, then we’re here first."

After speaking, she angrily opened the car door and got out.

Shen Mianmian followed suit and also got out of the car.

Ruan Yiyang stood in front of the car, staring at the entrance of the police station for a while, then he and He Nan strode in. Shen Mianmian and Cheng Xining hurriedly followed.

Once inside the police station and hearing Ruan Yiqian’s conversation with the police, Shen Mianmian learned that there was a lead on Ruan Yiqian’s missing sister. The police had found a girl who had been abducted years ago, and she might be Ruan Yiqian’s sister. Ruan Yiqian was there to confirm it.

Fearing to trouble his family in vain, Ruan Yiqian had not informed them. The only ones aware of the matter were the three of them. Cheng Xining had accidentally overheard their conversation and had used the information as leverage. That’s why Ruan Yiqian had brought her along.
