Clinging to Devoted Fiancé, Heiress Slays the World!-Chapter 735: You want me to investigate Mr. Ji’s daughter?
After confirming that Ji Wei was deeply asleep and wouldn’t be disturbed, Mo Qian gently lifted her waist and placed her on the soft bed.
The woman murmured groggily, adjusted her position, and continued sleeping, completely unaffected.
Mo Qian’s gaze was tender. He leaned down and placed a soft kiss on Ji Wei’s smooth forehead, then turned and walked into the bathroom.
The next morning.
Ji Wei woke naturally. When she opened her eyes, she was dazed for a few seconds before her thoughts slowly reassembled. She propped herself up and glanced to the side but did not see Mo Qian’s figure.
She vaguely remembered that Mo Qian had drunk too much last night. Initially, he had pulled her to sit on the sofa. How had she ended up sleeping in the bed?
Feeling thirsty, Ji Wei lifted the blanket and got out of bed to pour herself a glass of water.
After finishing her morning routine, she went downstairs. She looked around but still didn’t see Mo Qian anywhere. In the dining room, Aunt Zhu was busy setting up breakfast. Upon seeing Ji Wei enter, she greeted her warmly and invited her to eat.
"Where’s Mo Qian?" Ji Wei blurted out.
"Mr. Gu received a phone call and left in a hurry. Before leaving, he specifically instructed me not to wake you and to let you sleep until you woke naturally."
Who had called him?
Ji Wei sat down to eat breakfast, but her curiosity only grew stronger.
...
Lu Heng’s private detective office.
The man was buried in organizing documents when he heard a sharp knock at the door. Without lifting his head, he spoke calmly, "Come in."
Ji Shanshan, dressed in a glamorous silver sequin dress, carrying a handbag and stepping on high heels, walked in.
"Mr. Lu seems quite busy. I hope I’m not interrupting?" she stopped in front of his desk and said with a smile.
Hearing the voice of a strange woman, Lu Heng finally looked up at her with an expression of slight surprise.
"Why is it you?" he asked in a composed tone.
As a detective, Lu Heng naturally knew about Ji Shanshan’s miraculous return to the Ji Family after being presumed dead. But he hadn’t expected her to seek him out personally.
"Mr. Lu has been my uncle’s trusted friend for years, so I’ve specially come to visit. Perhaps we might have an opportunity to collaborate?" Ji Shanshan explained.
"Although I have a good relationship with Mr. Ji, I won’t waive even a penny of my fees," Lu Heng remarked, leaning back in his leather swivel chair with a professional smile, his gaze deep as he looked at Ji Shanshan.
"Naturally. Separation of business and personal matters—I quite admire such professionalism in Mr. Lu’s conduct." Ji Shanshan sat down on the nearby chair. "Rest assured, when it comes to fees, I’ll offer you a number that satisfies you."
She took out a check from her handbag as she spoke, placed it on the desk, and slid it across to Lu Heng.
Lu Heng glanced at the check indifferently. The amount field was left blank.
This meant the sum was for him to fill in?
Lu Heng wasn’t naive. He understood that for Ji Shanshan to offer a blank check for him to fill in, what she wanted was certainly not simple.
"Let’s hear it. What do you want investigated?" Lu Heng asked.
Ji Shanshan chuckled lightly, her eyes shimmering with a hint of cold calculation. "Investigate my cousin Ji Wei. I want to know every single thing she’s done over the past two years."
"You want me to investigate Mr. Ji’s daughter?" Lu Heng asked for confirmation.
"Exactly. I know you have a good relationship with my uncle. But surely Mr. Lu wouldn’t turn down the chance to make money?"
Lu Heng hesitated for a moment. Suddenly, he stood up and said firmly, "Sorry, I can’t accept your commission. I have my own principles and boundaries. Take your check and leave."
