Chapter 1321 - 1322: The Situation is Serious

Chapter 1321: Chapter 1322: The Situation is Serious

Even the sounds from downstairs went unheard.

But there was a silver lining. Upon waking, she found her spirits lifted and the nausea completely gone, to her great delight.

The massage technique Xu Yiqiu taught her really worked!

Duan Qingqing was now even more eager for the medication Xu Yiqiu would bring back from abroad in a few days.

Since there was no reaction, what was there to fear from Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao?

Feeling hungry, Duan Qingqing immediately got out of bed, walked out of her room, and went downstairs. "Aunt Guo, is dinner ready yet?"

Her words had just left her lips when she noticed the person seated in the living room.

"Chao Jun? You’re back?" Duan Qingqing was excited to rush toward him, but after running a few steps, she remembered her stomach and immediately slowed down, proceeding more cautiously.

"Dad, you and Chao Jun must be exhausted!"

She joined Meng Chaojun at the side, sitting down on the armrest next to him, "You’ve lost weight, Chao Jun. I’ll ask Aunt Guo to make chicken soup for you. Dad, you should have some too."

Saying this, she stood up again and walked toward the kitchen.

Meng Chaojun suppressed the emotions in his heart and turned to Nian Mutong, "Has your Aunt Qing been out much these past few days?"

"Yes, she rarely goes out. A few times, she invited some friends over for tea."

"Oh? Were they men?"

"No, they were women, including Sister Du Jinruo."

Meng Chaojun’s gaze flickered.

This seemed a bit unusual. In his absence, shouldn’t she be going out every day?

At this moment, Meng Xinian and Chiang Xiao came down the stairs again.

"Xinian, Little, are you not upset anymore? Come here, Old Meng would like to have a word with you," Old Meng hurriedly called out to them.

"There’s nothing to talk about."

Meng Xinian, holding Chiang Xiao’s hand, started to head for the door.

That’s when the telephone at home rang.

A thought struck him, and he turned, leading Chiang Xiao to the phone.

"Officer Meng."

Director Wei’s calm voice came through.

"This is Meng Xinian."

"While investigating all of Xu Yiqiu’s activities and contacts in the Capital, we discovered something. She had contact with Duan Qingqing the night of that day. So, if it’s convenient, I intend to make a personal visit this afternoon."

Director Wei’s phrase "if it’s convenient" was merely a formality, which Meng Xinian well understood.

In fact, now that they had found this information, whether it was convenient for the Meng Family or not, he was certain to visit.

"I’ll be waiting at home."

Meng Xinian said gravely, then hung up the phone.

Chiang Xiao, standing beside him and with sharp hearing, had caught Director Wei’s words.

"What’s the matter? You’re not leaving anymore?" she asked quietly.

Meng Xinian’s expression was grim, "The situation is serious. If it’s really connected to her, one wrong move could drag down the entire Meng Family."

The authorities were cracking down hard on this issue. Xu Yiqiu was already caught with conclusive evidence and couldn’t escape. If there was a real connection, being classified as having dealings with foreign organizations, given the Meng Family’s special status, the consequences would be dire.

If because of that woman, he were to ruin everything he had worked for over the years...

A heavy weight settled in Chiang Xiao’s heart as well.

After saying those words, Meng Xinian immediately made a phone call to Yang Zhiqi.

"Officer, I have an urgent matter. I need to extend my leave."

"What for? There’s not much going on with the Supervisory Guard Team recently, but five days of leave isn’t enough? You used to resist taking any leave. Oh and by the way, I’ve scored another merit for my kid..."

"As many days as you can grant, Officer. It’s related to this matter. I’ll reach out for help when needed. That’s all for now."
