Chapter 124: Meeting Jiang Yan Again
After sending Chen Man off, Mo Zhu kept the dress into the closet. Suddenly, her ringtone rang from behind. She turned her head to look at the phone by the bed and the two words Jiang Yan appeared on the lit up screen.
Mo Zhu frowned quietly and walked two steps forward to pick up the call. “Uncle Jiang, what made you call me personally?”
Jiang Yan’s voice sounded a little worried on the other end of the line. He sighed unhurriedly and the man replied in a low voice, “Ms. Mo, there’s something I need to tell you in person. May I know when it’s convenient for you?”
“Sure, it’s pretty convenient for me now. Let’s meet at the entrance of the Huaxing Building.” Mo Zhu raised her hand and touched her chin. She casually thought of a place to meet Jiang Yan.
After the two of them agreed on it, Mo Zhu did not delay any longer. She washed up simply and casually changed her clothes. She stood up, left the house, hailed a taxi and headed straight for the Huaxing Building.
Not long later, the car stopped at the entrance of the mall. Just as Mo Zhu opened the car door and got out of the car, she saw Jiang Yan standing in the shade at the side, looking for her. He raised his hand and waved it gently. After Jiang Yan noticed Mo Zhu, she led the man to casually find a cafe and sat down.
“Ms. Mo, I’m looking for you this time because of the annihilation of the Du family…” After taking a seat, Jiang Yan thought for a while before rubbing his hands and taking the initiative to speak.
Raising her eyebrows, Mo Zhu looked at the man with interest. “The Du family no longer exists. Is there anything else you need to worry about?”
Shaking his head lightly, Jiang Yan took out a stack of neatly-arranged documents from his briefcase and handed it to Mo Zhu.
“Ms. Mo, things aren’t as simple as you think. Although the Du family is no longer around, Lin Lan seems to have some relationship with the Lin family in Beijing. This document is related to the Du family’s annihilation. Before it landed in my hands, it was secretly sent to Beijing by someone from an unknown organization in Cloud City.”
Seeing Jiang Yan’s serious expression, Mo Zhu also realized that this matter might not be as simple as she thought. She knocked her index finger on the table lightly. “Lin Lan? Du Wei’s mother?”
“Yes, if the news is reliable and Lin Lan is really a member of the Lin family in Beijing, regardless of whether she is from the direct line or the collateral branch, I’m afraid that they will keep sending people to investigate this matter. You should be constantly alert for people of unknown background around you. I’m worried that a moment of carelessness will cause you danger.”
Jiang Yan glanced at Mo Zhu with a slightly worried expression. The last time he called and instructed Jiang Xun to instruct the girl that there might be danger, he’d already noticed that more than one power was targeting Mo Zhu. He never expected that before there was any concrete development for that, someone from the capital would have come and gotten involved.
He had known Mo Zhu for a long time and had received her help in the past. Although he knew how strong this little girl was, the older the person the wiser he is. As someone who had been through this before, he had to do his best to protect the girl by reminding her.
Nodding her head lightly, Mo Zhu raised her hand to take the stack of information related to her. She opened her mouth and said unhurriedly, “I have troubled you, Uncle Jiang. I’ll be more careful on this matter. If there are any further movements in Beijing, I’ll have to trouble you to keep a look out for me.”
Seeing that Mo Zhu took his words to heart, Jiang Yan relaxed a little and sighed. “You don’t have to be so polite with me. You have helped me so much previously. Now that we’re finally in Cloud City, I can finally do something for you. Although my abilities are limited, as long as there’s news, I will definitely inform you in time!”
Mo Zhu smiled and looked out the window thoughtfully.
Before the two of them could finish speaking, a sneaky figure suddenly appeared in front of the French window that led to the cafe.
At the staircase not far away, Fang Ran was shopping with her friend. With her sharp eyes, she saw Mo Zhu meeting a middle-aged man behind Huo Xuan’s back. A glint flashed across her eyes as she sent her friend away. Then, she crept closer to the cafe, hoping to get evidence of their secret private meeting.
From Fang Ran’s position, other than Mo Zhu’s face, she could barely see Jiang Yan’s back. She took out her phone and quickly took two pictures. After confirming that she had taken a clear view of Mo Zhu’s face, she hid behind the window and revealed a cold smile.
Hmph, with these two photos, she would definitely break Mo Zhu’s reputation in Cloud City and make her suffer!
The French windows of the mall were designed very cleverly. The entire window looked dark and reflective from the outside. As the cafe was on the outside, Fang Ran could capture Mo Zhu, but Mo Zhu did not see Fang Ran secretly taking pictures of her from behind the window.
Jiang Yan looked at Mo Zhu for a long time. Seeing that the girl was silent with her eyes lowered, he picked up the glass of water on the table and took a sip. He said in a comforting tone, “Ms. Mo, I heard that you’re engaged to the Huo family. In fact, sometimes you don’t have to rely on yourself. The Huo family is a prestigious family in Beijing. Have you never thought…”
As if she understood what the man wanted to say, Mo Zhu waved her hand and interrupted him before Jiang Yan could finish. “I understand what you mean, Uncle Jiang, but many things are not as simple as they appear.”
