Eighties Sweetheart Wife-Chapter 584: Holding Her

Song Yunuan glanced only once and then walked out.

The people in the study stood up, ready to leave one after another.

Xia Xindong felt something was off.

So, he quickly followed.

Ji Xinyi was speaking to Wei Qingmei with impatience.

She had a deep-seated loathing for this woman, knowing she had harmed her, yet there was not a shred of evidence.

She had suffered the misfortune of amnesia and had not recovered to this day.

Unlike other illnesses, her father didn’t dare to be aggressive about it, so they had to let it be for the time being.

Ji Xinyi said, "I have never welcomed you, yet you insist on pushing forward, let me guess, you’re after my father’s prescription, aren’t you?"

Wei Qingmei’s eyes reddened.

Ji Xinyi waved her hand, "Get lost quickly, I don’t want to hear you say a word."

At that moment, Song Yunuan came out.

Following close behind was Xia Xindong.

So, Xia Xindong heard Little Nuan’s inner thoughts that he had not heard in a long time.

[This Wei Qingmei, colluding with people from Country W, intends to sell the information of Second Grandpa and my uncle’s new drug to the enemy. Wei Qingmei has a terrifying ability; she can mimic people’s voices.]

Gu Huai’an’s eyes darkened, Little Nuan must have seen something.

But it was certain that it related to Wei Qingmei.

Maybe it did not involve other people, only Xia Xindong’s brow showed an almost imperceptible change.

But immediately after, Xia Xindong regained his composure.

Grandfather once said, Xia Xindong’s ability to endure is very strong.

If he does not allow you to see his emotions, you will see nothing at all.

It was the same at this moment.

It must be that Little Nuan had discovered something.

At this time, the voice of Song Yunuan continued.

[However, no one knows about this ability, and she rarely uses it. She mimicked my voice to trick my uncle into a house where Qian Xue was also present, her youngest aunt—that was their trade.

There was another person in the room, Jin Ju, who was also deceived into being there.]

[Qian Xue, jealous of the close relationship between Jin Ju and my uncle, therefore planned to take some unsightly photos to destroy my uncle and Jin Ju.]

[Wei Qingmei also wanted to use this to hold my uncle in her grasp, for her own purposes.]

[Jin Ju, being quick-witted, sensed something amiss and took the precaution of bringing her police brother along, but unfortunately, Wei Qingmei’s plan was meticulous, leading Jin Ju’s brother away and leaving Wei Qingmei inside to pretend to be the voices of both my uncle and me, tricking Jin Ju into entering.]

The voice abruptly stopped.

Xia Xindong’s expression did not change, and he was indistinguishable from any other day.

Song Yunuan furrowed her brows.

But then they relaxed, she couldn’t see anymore at this point, there must have been some change.

With her own foresight, naturally, she wouldn’t let things occur.

Jin Ju was not an ordinary girl.

The Jin family was actually very mysterious.

Rarely mentioned, yet no one ignored the Jin family.

This had a lot to do with Jin Ju’s grandfather.

However, Song Yunuan understood something, she looked back at the Second Grandpa, then at Ji Xinyi.

A weight fell on Old Master Ji’s heart.

But he heard nothing.

All thoughts passed in the blink of an eye.

Gu Huai’an and Xia Xindong exchanged glances.

Xia Xindong was pleased with Gu Huai’an.

No need to see what follows, it was clear that Gu Huai’an understood his intention.

Gu Huai’an glanced at Wei Qingmei, who had already walked in. His brows and eyes were cold, but his expression remained calm as he said to Secretary Xiao Wu, "Go check Old Mr. Ji’s study."

For some reason, after these words were spoken, the entire courtyard fell into sudden silence.

Gu Huai’an stood there, exuding authority.

Wei Qingmei clenched her fists, a trace of unease flashing through her heart. She had not expected Old Master Gu and Gu Huai’an to be here.

Her visit today really couldn’t have come at a worse time.

The fact that Xiao Wu could serve as Gu Huai’an’s secretary was naturally due to his extraordinary capabilities.

Even without any reminder or instruction from Gu Huai’an.

He looked at this unexpected visitor and in just a moment, knew that she had not come prepared, but her aim was not his leader, but the master of this courtyard, Old Mr. Ji.

Xiao Wu knew that Wei Qingmei had once been Old Mr. Ji’s disciple, but was later driven out by him.

And when Old Mr. Ji returned to Beidu, she always came to see him, persistently so.

They had just happened to encounter her.

Xiao Wu knew what to do.

He gestured, and two people silently emerged from a corner.

Xiao Wu, carrying a box, led the two into the study.

Old Master Ji had a dark look in his eyes.

Then, he and Old Master Gu exchanged a subtle glance.

She really didn’t understand what was going on.

Wei Qingmei felt somewhat uneasy, and she gave a forced smile to everyone present.

Then she dryly said, "...I just came back from a meeting, and I saw that the grocery store was selling apples that were both red and big, so I thought of buying some for my master to try. It seems that I’ve come at a bad time, so I’ll take my leave now..."

Old Mr. Ji frowned, but he did not object.

Seeing that Old Mr. Ji did not object, Wei Qingmei was delighted.

It appeared she needed to say such things when there were more people around.

As long as she persisted, her master would eventually forgive her, and she would be able to smoothly get what she wanted.

Once she got what she wanted, she could leave this loathsome place.

And live the life she desired.

But just as she turned to leave, she didn’t know when two people had appeared behind her, who politely stopped her. One of them said in a gentle voice, "Deputy Director Wei, please wait a moment, there is a matter that requires your cooperation. It shouldn’t take up much of your time."

Wei Qingmei’s heart sank.

A guilty conscience inexplicably arose.

But she immediately reminded herself that her visit today had not been announced in advance; it was a spur-of-the-moment decision, so it was impossible that these people were specifically waiting for her.

Could it be that they were discussing some serious matter?

Quickly glancing at the people in the courtyard, it seemed that only Song Yunuan lacked an official position, the others all had status.

But Song Yunuan was no ordinary person either.

Wei Qingmei found it difficult to leave bluntly.

Unexpectedly, after Xiao Wu came out of the study, his expression was very serious. He took out a black object that looked like a button, handed it to Gu Huai’an, and said in a voice loud enough for everyone in the courtyard to hear, "Leader, this was found in the study, preliminarily identified as a listening device."

Song Yunuan’s eyes lit up; she was pondering what excuse to use to detain the person.

And Secretary Xiao Wu happened to discover a listening device.

That was quite the coincidence.

She couldn’t help but look towards Gu Huai’an.

Gu Huai’an looked at Wei Qingmei, politely saying, "I’m sorry, Deputy Director Wei, but we will need your cooperation in the investigation."

Wei Qingmei’s face turned ugly; she hadn’t expected that simply stopping by to visit her master would result in her being detained here.

This was truly too unlucky; had she known it would be like this, she wouldn’t have come this way at all.

But she was not an uneducated woman who would make a scene.

She could only say in a dry voice, "I understand, I’m aware, I... I will cooperate."
