Chapter 919: 225: This is too amazing!_5
"You’re going to carry it?" Ni Yang glanced up and down at him, "Can you handle it?"
Xiaozhou, speechless, replied, "If I can’t handle it, do you think you can? After all, I am a man!"
Ni Yang shrugged slightly, not wanting to crush his spirit, "Then you try."
Xiaozhou walked up to the carrying basket, slipped the straps over his shoulders, but no matter what, he couldn’t straighten his back!
Damn!
It was way too heavy!
Having been born into wealth and never having done manual labor, it was normal for Xiaozhou to struggle. Ni Yang had expected this, which is why she had stepped in ahead of Xiaozhou, ready to take over the load.
Clamping his teeth tightly, Xiaozhou’s face turned red, but he still couldn’t lift the basket.
"Let me do it," Ni Yang approached Xiaozhou, shading him from the sun.
"No need," Xiaozhou shook his head, "I can do it!"
He was a man!
He couldn’t lose face in front of a girl!
He could do it!
Xiaozhou psyched himself up internally.
Ni Yang, with a smile, said, "Let me do it. We’re all brothers here, and I won’t laugh at you!"
Xiaozhou: "..." You’re already laughing.
"If I can’t carry it, do you think you can?" Xiaozhou looked up at Ni Yang.
Ni Yang’s expression remained the same, "Let me try, and then we’ll know."
Xiaozhou stepped aside, curious to see whether Ni Yang really could carry it or not.
Ni Yang squatted down, effortlessly lifted the basket, and glanced back at Xiaozhou, "Let’s go."
Xiaozhou stood there, stunned.
Damn!
That was incredible!
If he hadn’t tried it himself, he would have thought the basket wasn’t heavy at all.
"Yangyang, no, Brother Yang!" Xiaozhou hurried after Ni Yang, "Brother Yang, you’re amazing, aren’t you?"
Ni Yang raised an eyebrow slightly, "Your Brother Yang has trained for this, of course it’s amazing."
Xiaozhou gestured with cupped hands, "Respect! Now I finally understand why there’s an idiom called ’heroine’ in ancient times." If Ni Yang had lived in ancient times, she surely would have been a female general.
After coming down the mountain, Ni Yang arranged to meet up with Xiaozhou the next morning and visit the Detective Agency. She was quite curious to see who this person investigating Dr. Jiang Yan was, and to figure out what they were all about.
The next morning just after nine, Ni Yang arrived at the Detective Agency, "How is it going, has the person arrived yet?"
Xiaozhou shook his head, "Not yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Xiaozhou led Ni Yang to a room, "Yangyang, just sit here later. Look, there’s a trick here; if you move this painting, you’ll be able to see the opposite side, but they can’t see you."
"Alright," Ni Yang nodded in agreement.
Shortly after, a staff member came to call Xiaozhou.
Xiaozhou rolled up his sleeves, "I’ll leave first then, make yourself comfortable."
"Understood," Ni Yang nodded slightly.
Because she was concerned about Dr. Jiang Yan’s situation, Mrs. Liu arrived early, "Hello Detective Zhou, how is the investigation into Dr. Jiang Yan going?"
Xiaozhou pointed to a stool opposite him, "Please take a seat first, sit down and I’ll explain everything to you slowly."
"Alright." Mrs. Liu sat down across from him, removed her hat, and asked eagerly, "So, can you tell me now?"
Xiaozhou sighed deeply, his face a picture of solemnity, "Please prepare yourself mentally first."
A sense of dread filled Mrs. Liu, "Did something happen to Dr. Jiang?" no𝚟𝚙u𝚋.c𝚘m
Xiaozhou poured a cup of tea and handed it to Mrs. Liu, "Here’s the thing..." He roughly explained the situation regarding Dr. Jiang Yan to Mrs. Liu.
Upon hearing this, Mrs. Liu felt her blood run cold, her face turned ashen, and with a strained smile, she asked, "You’re... you’re joking with me, right?"
Xiaozhou sighed again, "Why would I joke about something like this? I’m very sorry, but this is true. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the Public Security Bureau to ask. In fact, Dr. Jiang Yan got what she deserved. You don’t know how terribly she and Jiang Xiaomin hurt the Zheng Family. Cao Lingrui didn’t even get a proper burial."
This sudden shock left Mrs. Liu unsure how to react.
After a long moment, she continued, "When... when did this happen?"
Xiaozhou continued, "A month ago."
A month ago.
They had just arrived in Beijing a month ago. If they had come earlier, if she had found Dr. Jiang Yan sooner, could this have been avoided?
Mrs. Liu’s changing expressions were all witnessed by Ni Yang.
Indeed, as Xiaozhou had said, this lady resembled Dr. Jiang Yan, especially the eyes – they were exactly the same.
