Hidden identities of the AI Heiress

Chapter 271: Chapter 271: Clues to the Kidnapping Case
 

Lu Jingzhi had not heard Qiao Yun mention Li Hanzhou recently and thought Qiao Yun had heeded his advice and stopped interacting with Li Hanzhou.

However, he had forgotten that with Li Miao around, it was impossible for Qiao Yun not to be involved with Li Hanzhou.

Lu Jingzhi still did not know that when Qiao Yun went to Hai City to find Lu Zhanxing, Li Hanzhou had also followed her there.

Their friendship had deepened because of a kidnapping incident.

Since Lu Jingzhi had explicitly stated he did not want her to be friends with Li Hanzhou, Qiao Yun no longer mentioned Li Hanzhou.

It wasn’t that she was afraid of Lu Jingzhi, but she didn’t want to listen to Lu Jingzhi analyzing the various dangers of being friends with Li Hanzhou.

She would get angry.

Professor Qiao was just that protective.

Lu Jingzhi’s lips moved, but in the end, he said nothing. Considering his already tense relationship with his sister, he decided it was best to avoid making it worse.

Perhaps he should let his younger brother speak instead?

In distant Hai City, Lu Zhanxing suddenly shivered, pulling his thin coat around him. It was nearly winter—it was truly cold.

Li Miao had “lured” Qiao Yun back home.

Li Hanzhou was sitting on the living room sofa, dressed in a white shirt and black trousers, handsome yet languid. Seeing Qiao Yun enter, he casually lifted his eyelids and rested his gaze on her.

The weather had started to get cold.

Qiao Yun’s fair face seemed to wrap in a layer of chill in the deep autumn.

Li Hanzhou pointed to the milk on the coffee table and said, undeniably, “Drink this.”

Qiao Yun said nothing, her hands holding the cup at just the right temperature, the coolness at her fingertips instantly replaced by warmth.

Li Hanzhou spoke to Li Miao, “Weren’t you going to play a game? Go get ready.”

“Okay, Qiaoqiao, wait for me a bit.”

What Li Miao really wanted to say was, why prepare anything?

VR games, isn’t it just putting on the glasses?

Hmph.

Always picking on his little sister.

Li Hanzhou didn’t rush to ask Qiao Yun about being confessed to but instead told her about his investigation into the kidnapping case.

“Found something interesting. Want to hear it?”

Qiao Yun looked at him with her clear black and white eyes.

Li Hanzhou found it gratifying and continued, “The organization that kidnapped you fifteen years ago also saw your information on a trading website. It’s just that back then, the technology was limited and the trading website wasn’t caught.”

Qiao Yun was slightly surprised.

She did not expect Li Hanzhou to still be investigating these matters.

“Why?”

“It wasn’t specifically sought out. There was a transaction record on the trading website, and that’s how I knew you weren’t lost but kidnapped,” Li Hanzhou’s eyes darkened.

The child was only three years old at that time, he wondered if she had been left with any psychological scars.

Qiao Yun’s eyes fell.

The two kidnappings were conducted through the trading website.

If it wasn’t the same person, then the person who planned her kidnapping fifteen years ago had either been caught or there were informers.

Only then could they use the trading website to initiate a new round of kidnapping on her.

What Qiao Yun couldn’t understand was, she had been back for several months now, why strike at this time?

What was the purpose?

What did they want to achieve from her?

Was her existence detrimental to certain people?

Li Hanzhou gently tapped Qiao Yun’s fingers, “Little one, what are you thinking about?”

Qiao Yun came back to reality, her gaze falling on Li Hanzhou.

He had the typical romantic eyes that when smiling at someone, gave the illusion of affection.

“Thinking about the kidnapping,” Qiao Yun replied.

“Your mind is already full of stuff, and now you want to think about this too,” Li Hanzhou said nonchalantly, “Let me think for you.”

“Okay,” Qiao Yun agreed.

Li Hanzhou was surprised.

He had offered to help Qiao Yun a few times before and had been rejected, yet this time she agreed?

It showed that Qiao Yun no longer saw him as an outsider.

Li Hanzhou’s lips curved into a pleased smile.

Qiao Yun threw out a name, “Think in the direction of Madam Qin Huan of the Lu Family.”
