Chapter 119 You Are Finally Back
"No, she really doesn't know I'm out."
"Then she didn't know your whereabouts on the night Xu Gaoyuan was murdered?"
"Well, I won't say much about this."
"..."
Seeing that Lin Fan kept his mouth shut, Xu Qingxue stopped asking questions, but secretly vowed in her heart that she must find conclusive evidence.
Even if it is impossible to arrest Lin Fan, at least he should be punished.
"Your relationship with Zhao Ziqing seems to be more than just a bodyguard, right?"
"What, are you jealous?"
Lin Fan asked with a somewhat playful smile.
"Why are you jealous? Stop talking nonsense."
Xu Qingxue looked unhappy and focused on the delicious food in front of her.
Half an hour after the meal, the two left the restaurant together.
"You have to take me back, right? What would my colleagues at the company think when you brought me here in a police car? You have to go back with me and explain everything clearly."
Lin Fan muttered softly.
"The fact that you can go back on your own proves you're innocent. Besides, you're the company's vice president. Who would have the guts to say such nonsense?" Xu Qingxue said casually, hailing a taxi. "I have other things to do, so I don't have time to take you back."
Lin Fan got into the taxi reluctantly, "Okay, I'll do as you say."
Xu Qingxue left a firm word, "I will definitely reveal the truth." After that, she walked straight to the police station.
Lin Fan watched Xu Qingxue's back gradually recede, especially her striking figure. He couldn't help but smack his lips, regretting that he hadn't taken advantage of her today. However, there was still a long way to go.
"Brother Fan, you are finally back! If you hadn't come back, I would have taken my brothers to the police station to ask for your release." Shen Wei, who was on duty, saw Lin Fan and immediately went to meet him.
"Don't talk nonsense. Do I look like someone who would go to jail? And I robbed a police station." Lin Fan responded unhappily.
"Where are the things?"
"In your office."
"You continue to stay here. I'll go report to President Zhao." After Lin Fan gave his instructions, he hurried to the president's office.
Zhao Ziqing is not so easy to fool, you have to come up with a reasonable explanation.
"Brother Fan, you're finally back!" When Lin Shan saw Lin Fan, a hint of joy flashed in her eyes.
"What? Did you think I couldn't get out?" Lin Fan joked with a smile.
"Brother Fan is a good man, how could he not get out?" Lin Shan quickly shook her head. "But I was really worried about you. President Zhao even called a meeting with the legal department. She seemed worried about you too."
"Haha, little girl, you are really good at talking. I will ask Mr. Zhao to give you a raise later." Lin Fan laughed even more happily.
"No, no, no, I'm afraid President Zhao will misunderstand." Lin Shan waved her hands hastily. Although she wasn't quite sure about the specific relationship between Lin Fan and President Zhao, she could sense that it was definitely something special. If they misunderstood, she might not even get a raise, not to mention her job.
"Okay, go ahead and do your thing. I'll go in and report to President Zhao." Lin Fan pushed open the door and walked into the office.
In the office, Zhao Ziqing was restless. Even though Lin Fan said the problem had been resolved, she couldn't help but worry. This worry made her feel irritated. Could it be that she really had feelings for this man?
When she heard the door open, Zhao Ziqing immediately lowered her head, pretending to be focused on her work. She didn't want Lin Fan to see her worry, lest he get carried away.
"Mr. Zhao, are you busy? I hope I didn't disturb you." Lin Fan closed the door casually.
"I'm fine. When did you come back?" Zhao Ziqing raised her head and asked Lin Fan.
"I just got back, and I came to see you right away." Lin Fan said as he pulled out a chair and sat down across from her. "I'm sorry to have worried you."
"You think too much. I'm not worried about you." Zhao Ziqing's tone was a little cold, but her eyes looked him up and down. Seeing that he was intact, she felt relieved.
"Haha." Lin Fan smiled. He understood her duplicity.
"What's going on? Some foreign-related murder case?" Zhao Ziqing's face turned serious.
"Last night, a foreigner died in Qianlong Mountain. The person who called the police sounded very similar to me, so Xu Qingxue arrested me..." Lin Fan explained half-truthfully, "Later, they caught the real murderer and released me. They even apologized to me and treated me to a meal."
"Who invited us? Xu Qingxue?" Zhao Ziqing's eyes became sharp.
"She's not the only one here. There are several other people here." Lin Fan quickly explained, "There are seven or eight of us eating together. How could I possibly eat alone with her?"
After hearing Lin Fan's explanation, Zhao Ziqing's expression softened slightly. "So, this matter has nothing to do with you?"
"Yeah, absolutely no problem." Lin Fan nodded repeatedly.
"Well, how did your trip to the antique market to investigate the source of the multicolored jade go?" Zhao Ziqing changed the subject.
"Not yet. No one has yet been able to identify the origin of this jade. However, I heard that an ancient jade expert will be here in a few days, and we can ask him to identify it then."
"You haven't told me yet, where did you get this piece of multicolored jade?"
"In the orphanage." Lin Fan thought for a moment and decided to tell the truth.
"What are you doing in the orphanage?"
"I grew up there when I was little, and I returned to Ancheng this time to search for clues about my life. And that piece of multicolored jade was wrapped in my swaddling clothes when I was born."
"Are you an orphan?" Zhao Ziqing's eyes widened in surprise.
"Yes." Lin Fan nodded in confirmation.
"Will you look down on me because I'm an orphan? Will you think I'm not worthy of you?" he asked tentatively.
"No, I won't." Zhao Ziqing's heart was in turmoil. He was actually an orphan, which surprised her. "What I mean is, I won't despise you for this."
"Alas, although your parents are divorced, at least you have met them." Lin Fan sighed, feeling a little lonely. "I don't even know what my biological parents look like."
"I'm sorry for reminding you of sad things." Zhao Ziqing said apologetically.
"It's okay. I'm used to it." Lin Fan shook his head, a hint of bitterness on his face. "They say a child without a mother is like a weed. I'm afraid I'm even worse than a weed."
Seeing him like this, Zhao Ziqing felt an inexplicable sadness well up in her heart, and tenderness and sympathy flooded her heart. "Lin Fan, don't be sad anymore. I will always be with you from now on."
"Ever since I met you, I've truly felt the warmth of home." Lin Fan nodded, stood up, and walked to Zhao Ziqing's side. "Can you give me a hug? I need some comfort."
Zhao Ziqing was stunned. A hug? She was at a loss.
"Hugs can bring warmth." Lin Fan said softly, his eyes full of anticipation.
"I really just want some comfort. Whenever I think of these, my heart feels so upset." Looking at his painful expression, Zhao Ziqing's heart softened.
