Staying out all night

Qiao Jianshen's brows furrowed slightly. Obviously, this turn of events made him very unhappy.

"what happened?"

"Zhou Boren and his wife spent most of their money on gold jewelry as dowry for Zhou Wanting, and they got married."

The lawyer explained the laws of his country to Qiao Jianshen in detail.

The most troublesome part of this matter is that the money was converted into jewelry by Zhou Boren and his wife, and all of it was used as Zhou Wanting's dowry.

If the Zhou family gave Zhou Wanting money, the lawyer would still have a way to get it back, but according to the country's laws, jewelry is generally only considered a woman's personal property and will not be counted as a debt.

Before the legal document came into effect, Zhou Wanting and Ji Shuyu had already received the certificate. From a legal perspective, Zhou Wanting was considered a member of Ji's family and would not be involved in the Zhou family's affairs.

The deeper Qiao heard, the deeper her frown deepened. Her slender fingers were clasped on the table, tapping gently one after another.

"How much more can be recovered?"

"The Zhou family also has a set of real estate in Zhou Boren's name, which can be used as a mortgage. It is conservatively estimated that more than 300,000 yuan can be recovered. Of course, before they pay back all the money, the court will classify them as Lao Lai."

"That would be too advantageous for them." Qiao Jianshen sneered: "To deal with people like this, you have to use the same method as the other person."

"Master Qiao, what are you going to do?"

"Since you want to be a bad guy so much, of course you have to spread the word."

"But...we have already sent Zhou Boren to prison. Even if we tell the world, will he care?"

"His official in-laws must care."

"Then...do we need to inform Miss Yu about this?"

Qiao, who had always been confident and well-versed in making decisions, rarely hesitated.

If it had been before, he would have concealed this matter without saying a word.

After all, one million is just an insignificant change to him.

But now, he has the financial resources, but not the time.

He thought of his grandfather's words.

Grandpa's behavior may be extreme, but he does have his reasons in some places.

He can protect Yu Wanwan for a while, but he cannot protect her for a lifetime.

He left the lawyer "Let me think about it" and hung up the phone.

He raised his eyes and looked at the scenery outside the window.

The glass reflected his slender and gloomy silhouette, so unreal that the boundaries could not be seen clearly, as if it would disappear in the next moment.

…

Qiao Jianshen returned to Tianxin Apartment.

He took the key and opened the door, only to find that no one was home.

The room was dark and cold.

He raised his watch and glanced at the time.

Ten p.m.

Isn't Yu Wanwan back yet?

Turning on the light, he glanced at the small blackboard on the porch.

That was Yu Wanwan's memo, which recorded her work shifts this week, and today was the middle shift.

Logically speaking, we should be home by now, right?

Is it because of overtime work?

Qiao Jianshen walked to the sofa tiredly, nestled himself on the sofa, closed his eyes and rested, and did not move for a long time.

He was still very tired before entering the door, and all he wanted to do was go home and sleep.

But now that he has entered the door, his fatigue has not only not been relieved, but has become more serious.

I always feel like something is missing and I can't get down to the real thing.

He resignedly took out his cell phone to handle his work.

When he felt tired and looked at his watch again, it was already past midnight.

He looked towards the closed door.

There was no movement outside the door.

Even if you work overtime, it's time to get home now?

Qiao Jianshen felt inexplicably irritable and called her cell phone, only to find that it was turned off.

This woman is really interesting. She used to say that she hoped he would come back every day. But now, he comes back, but she doesn't come home at night!

Qiao Jian was so angry that he threw his phone on the sofa.

You were almost kidnapped yesterday, and you still don't have a long memory today, so you dare to stay up all night?

Yu Wanwan, well done to you.

Even if you beg me today, I won't save you!

——

Secretary Wu, who was sleeping soundly, was suddenly awakened by a rapid ringing of the phone.

He stretched out his hand from under the quilt, without even looking at the caller, and shouted angrily: "Who is it? It's so late at night, doesn't it look at the time?"

When Qiao Jianshen's voice came from the other end of the phone, Secretary Wu's sleepiness was all gone at once, and he suddenly woke up.

"Sir, I'm sorry, I didn't know it was you."

He quickly looked at the time. It was one o'clock in the morning. Mr. Qiao called so late. There must be something urgent.

He asked worriedly: "What happened?"

"Yu Wanwan didn't come back in the middle of the night, and she didn't answer the phone. Please help me check if she...is in trouble again."

"Sir, have you been to the hospital?"

"Hospital?"

"Yes, Miss Yu's brother needs someone to accompany him 24 hours a day. If nothing unexpected happens, she should be in the hospital."

After a brief silence, Qiao Jianshen on the other end of the phone replied: "I know." After that, he hung up the phone.

Secretary Wu was left alone staring at the phone in a daze.

Therefore, the urgent matter that the boss made a series of calls in the middle of the night was—Miss Yu didn’t come home?

The boss's current behavior is really getting more and more confusing.

——

At two o'clock in the morning, the hospital was silent. Even the night shift nurse was lying on the desk and squinting.

No one noticed a figure walking into the hospital area.

This figure is none other than Qiao Jianshen, who drove over overnight.

He stopped in front of Yu Chenchen's ward.

Through the window, he could see the little boy wearing gauze lying on the ward.

Of course, there is also Yu Wanwan.

She sat on a cheap plastic chair, her head resting on the edge of the bed, and she fell asleep on her stomach.

He gently pushed open the ward door, bringing in a gust of wind.

The air flow blew Yu Wanwan's hair away, and the strands of hair were tossed around her face, and she turned over irritably.

Her sleeping position was originally very difficult to challenge the limits of human beings. Now when she flipped over, she lost her center of gravity, her whole body tilted to one side, and the plastic chair also slid along with it.

Seeing that she was about to fall off her butt, he put one foot on the foot of the plastic stool to stabilize the stool for her.

Unexpectedly, Yu Wanwan in the dream was very good at taking advantage.

She quickly leaned her whole body over and rested her head on his knees.

Obviously, sleeping on his legs is much more comfortable than sleeping on your stomach.

Qiao Jian Shen was still full of resentment when he came, but seeing her hugging his calf and sleeping soundly, all the resentment disappeared.

Look, she looks like a child. Only children like to sleep holding adults' legs.

He has a lot of money, how can he argue with a little girl?

…

Early next morning

"Oh, this car is nice. It costs a lot of money."

"Of course, it's a global limited edition, conservatively estimated to be 8 figures."

"Look, there's a woman sleeping in the car!"

"Tsk tsk, I guess you're here to take care of me. So what if you have money? If you have money, you won't get sick."

…

Amidst a burst of chirping noise, Yu Wanwan opened his eyes.

When she saw clearly the environment she was in, she turned pale with fear.
