After Qing Shuang left, Qiao Tian Chang looked at Ning Meng Yao and asked, “What’s wrong, Yao Yao?”
Ning Meng Yao did not reply. Instead, she took the clothes previously placed beside her and put them on. Her expression changed instantaneously upon doing so and she tried to deliver a blow to Qiao Tian Chang, “Tian Chang, look out.”
Qiao Tian Chang, who initially wanted to probe further, forgot about the questions in his mind as he turned around to dodge her attack.
He wished to continue with his questions after the dodge, but Ning Meng Yao’s next attack did not give him the time to do so.
He hurriedly withdrew from the room before the both of them started exchanging blows in the courtyard. Lin Zi You and Lei An, who arrived shortly after to deliver their investigation results, stared at the fight dumbfoundedly.
They could not believe what they were seeing and had to rub their eyes to ascertain what they were seeing. Their sister-in-law, who seemed fragile and weak, was actually fighting on par with their boss.
The one who was actually the most shocked was Qiao Tian Chang. He looked at Ning Meng Yao unbelievably. How could she have such resounding internal power, what exactly was going on?
After an hour, Ning Meng Yao finally ceased exchanging blows with Qiao Tian Chang. She smiled and looked at him, “How was I?”
“Yao Yao, how did you...” She could not possibly have any internal power!
“Actually, my martial arts skills are taught by my brother-in-law, but because the internal power was overbearing, I had Qing Shuang seal it away. I was the one who instructed her to do so, and I really regret it.” She regretted her action, as she would have been fine if not for her choice.
Qiao Tian Chang was stunned. It took him a few moments before he threw a glance at Ning Meng Yao again, “So that’s why. This is also good as I cannot be by your side all the time. With an internal power this strong, you will be able to protect yourself.”
“Right, that’s why I instructed Qing Shuang to unseal my meridians.” Ning Meng Yao laughed.
Qiao Tian Chang observed her crumpled clothings and shook his head. He reached out his hand to tidy her long hair, “Are you feeling alright?”
“Yes, feel like I can control it.”
“Let me know if anything happens.” Qiao Tian Chang was still worried.
“Noted.”
Lin Zi You and the others finally returned to their senses as they closed up the distance between the two. Observing Ning Meng Yao from top to bottom, they exclaimed, “Sister-in-law, you are amazing.”
“You’ve something?” Qiao Tian Chang asked coldly before Ning Meng Yao could respond.
Lin Zi You tucked his tail and handed whatever they were carrying to Qiao Tian Chang, “We’ve obtained the investigation that you’ve asked for.”
Qiao Tian Chang reached out to receive it. He took a glance at it before he passed it to Ning Meng Yao.
Ning Meng Yao read through it and raised her eyebrow, “Not bad, Tian Chang. Let’s take away all their money.” Among the three families, Ling Residence had the most property, especially under Ling Luo’s name.
It was to be expected. Afterall, Ling Luo was from the modern world and his family ran a business. It was not surprising for him to be good at business as well.
“As long as you are happy.” Qiao Tian Chang did not have any objections. Although his wife was rich, nobody would refuse to have a little more money in their pockets, would they?
“Sister-in-law, don’t forget about us”, Lin Zi You said without shame.
Ning Meng Yao took a look at Lin Zi You hesitantly before she finally nodded her head, agreeing to share a part of the money with them since they were helping out.
Ning Meng Yao instructed Qing Xuan to get her some brush and ink. She sat at the table beside her and wrote a few letters before dividing Qiao Tian Chang’s investigation results into three parts. She then placed them into each of the letters respectively.
“Qing Xuan, deliver these three letters to Brother-in-law, Brother Mu Chen and Brother Nuo Ran” Ning Meng Yao handed over the letters in her hand to Qing Xuan.
Qing Xuan left the courtyard with the letters. However, Qiao Tian Chang frowned after she left. He knew had met both Yu Feng and Mu Chen, but who was this Nuo Ran?
As if she was able to read Qiao Tian Chang’s mind, she explained, “Brother Nuo Ran is a mysterious person who treats me very well and has helped me in a lot of ways.”
“I see.”
“Tian Chang, I will start to take action once Brother-in-law and the rest replies to me.”
“I should be more or less ready by then.” Qiao Tian Chang replied with a cold smile.
He went to look for Xiao Qi Feng today to inform him the results of the investigation. Xiao Qi Feng was infuriated by the results and gave him full authority to deal with it.
