She happily found the hospital's surveillance room.
She went directly to the manager, a middle-aged man with glasses, who looked kind and amiable.
Jin Muya immediately recognized him as someone easy to talk to.
Seeing no one around, she slipped a sum of money to the manager and said, "Manager, could you let me check the surveillance footage?"
The amiable manager: "..."
He smiled and asked, "Miss, have you reported it to the police?"
The lady in front of him was very beautiful, and his smile became even warmer.
"Did you lose something? Or I can ask the front desk if anything was handed in," the manager assumed she was looking for lost items.
Jin Muya shook her head and said, "No, Manager. I'm looking for someone, right here in your hospital."
"Ah..." The manager's expression instantly changed.
"I'm sorry, Miss. If you're looking for someone, I can't help you. If it's a missing person, you should call the police. We can only let you see the surveillance footage if the police are present."
Jin Muya was stunned!
How could the seemingly amiable manager be so unapproachable?
"Manager, this is a matter of life and death, please understand," Jin Muya flashed a beautiful smile.
The amiable manager still wouldn't budge. This was Master Jiu's hospital.
If he were to bend the rules and accept this small bribe, he would lose his job forever.
"I'm sorry, Miss. We can let you see it when the police arrive," the manager's expression suddenly turned cold.
Jin Muya: "!!"
She gritted her teeth and said, "Manager, do you think the money is too little? Name your price."
The manager looked at the thick wad of money and apologetically said, "Miss, it's not about the amount of money, but about losing my job. I have a few years until retirement. If I accept this money, I'll lose my pension. Please understand, Miss."
Jin Muya left in a huff, her attempt ultimately unsuccessful.
However, Jin Muya wouldn't give up. She arranged for someone to keep an eye on Song Baoli, as he was sure to meet that person.
Once she knew who that person was, she would have a way.
...
Jiang Nuan rested for two days and then returned to the Lu family to accompany her mother. Before leaving, she drove to a mall to buy some things to take back.
She first went to the supermarket to buy ingredients for dinner and put them in the car. Then, she went to the mall, intending to buy something for Yuan Yuan to mail to her.
She wouldn't be able to return to Jinshi for a while.
Sending a small gift to Yuan Yuan would make her very happy.
Of course, she would also buy something for Yun Xia, as they were all her good sisters.
She also bought a gift for Xiao Yunqing.
As she was carrying the gifts and preparing to leave, she ran into Chu Yunying and Li Huixin, who were also shopping.
Their eyes met, and a strange glint flashed in Chu Yunying's eyes.
"Jiang Nuan, we meet again..." With her growing influence, she had become more arrogant.
Jiang Nuan's cold gaze swept over her, "I thought you would hide forever?"
Chu Yunying asked with amusement, "Why would I keep hiding?"
"The car accident last time, even though it didn't bring you to justice, do you think you're in the clear just because there's no evidence?"
Jiang Nuan looked at her, noting that those who broke the law often had great ambition.
Chu Yunying's confidence stemmed from her recent substantial gains.
More money certainly boosted a person's aura.
Chu Yunying was currently radiating such an aura.
Chu Yunying said sternly, "Jiang Nuan, I hope you won't speak carelessly about things without evidence."
She had also been severely retaliated against by Mu Jiuchen for that car accident.
From her understanding of Mu Jiuchen, he wouldn't trouble her again anytime soon, which was why she dared to come out.
Moreover, she now had four bodyguards with her when she went out, and Mu Jiuchen's men wouldn't dare to do anything to her.
Jiang Nuan gave her a peculiar look and didn't intend to chat further. She headed towards the elevator.
As long as she showed herself, there would be action.
She spotted Yan Qi from afar. As long as Yan Qi followed Chu Yunying, she could keep track of Chu Yunying's movements at all times.
Watching Jiang Nuan leave, Li Huixin asked Chu Yunying, "Miss Chu, do you have a grudge against Jiang Nuan?"
Chu Yunying smiled and said, "No particular grudge. She just doesn't like me. As you know, people like her have no upbringing."
Li Huixin: "..." She felt something was off.
The incident at the swimming pool last time was very strange.
But since nothing else happened afterward, she didn't think much of it.
Chu Yunying's business had already been signed. Although she didn't know what agreement her father had reached with Chu Yunying, her father often asked her to go shopping with Chu Yunying.
Many times, she found Chu Yunying's eyes to be quite eerie.
Chu Yunying looked at Jiang Nuan getting into her car and sent a message to the bodyguard following her.
[Follow the woman in the black suit.]
Bodyguard: [Understood, President Chu.]
Chu Yunying smiled strangely. Jiang Nuan, if I get the chance, I'll take your life.
The Lu family, I'm determined to have. If I can't touch Mu Jiuchen, surely I can handle the Lu family?
She now held a bargaining chip.
"Let's go, Huixin, let's go shopping." Chu Yunying walked with confident and elegant steps.
Li Huixin could only follow.
Jiang Nuan went to the front desk and filled out the address. They offered a shipping service here.
After sorting everything out, she went to the parking lot. As she sat in her car, she received a message from Yan Qi.
[Sister, Chu Yunying's account has seen millions in deposits recently, not from Hong Bin, but transferred from the club accounts.]
[Chu Yunying now owns three clubs, and each club has many girls.]
Jiang Nuan looked at the message thoughtfully.
She quickly sent a reply, [Qi Qi, keep watching her. There might be unexpected gains.]
Chu Yunying couldn't have obtained so much money in such a short period solely from the funds of the Shadow Hall.
This made her recall the incident at the suburban hotel that day, wondering if it was related to Chu Yunying and Hong Bin.
Yan Qi: [Sister, I understand.]
Jiang Nuan put down her phone and drove back to the Lu family.
Jin Yan knew that her daughter and son-in-law would be back that night and had asked her three sons to return early for a reunion dinner.
Seeing her daughter's car parked at the entrance, she walked over with a smile, opened the car door, and said, "Oh! Our darling is back."
Jiang Nuan smiled and called out, "Mom."
Looking at her mother's loving smile, Jiang Nuan felt a warmth in her heart.
Jin Yan didn't see Mu Jiuchen and asked, "Where is Xiao Jiu?"
Jiang Nuan opened the trunk and took out the items, saying, "Mom, he'll be back tonight. He has some business at the company."
"Mm!" Jin Yan smiled and walked over to help with the items.
"How is Grandpa Hua?" Jin Yan seized the opportunity to ask, as this was crucial for her third son's happiness.
She thought that Hua Ying was a very nice child.
Jiang Nuan said as she walked, "Mom, Grandpa Hua is recovering quite well. He should be discharged from the hospital in a while."
As Jiang Nuan was speaking, her phone rang. She saw it was Hua Ying's call and frowned slightly, wondering if something had happened to Grandpa Hua.
