"Okay, okay." Lan Yu didn't know how to thank her. "Thank you, thank you. Fortunately, there's still you willing to listen to me."
"Then I'll hang up first. I'll get back to you after I find out more."
...
Xiao Anjing drove very fast to the entrance of Xie Qining's company, but he didn't get out of the car to rush into the company.
After calming down, he pondered that Xie Qining definitely wouldn't have arrived at the company at this hour. He might as well sit in the car and wait for him to appear, then stop him and give him a good beating.
He had already learned that Xie Qining hadn't taken a position at the Xie Group headquarters. Instead, he had opened a modeling agency under the banner of the Xie Group, all because he wanted to be surrounded by young and beautiful women all day long.
Xie Zhendong probably didn't expect Xie Qining's company to make much money. He just hoped that he would have something to do and not cause trouble everywhere.
It seemed that the celebrity wife Xie Qining had married now was someone he met through business dealings with his agency.
Through the car window, Xiao Anjing gazed coldly at the company's signboard not far away. He vowed that one day he would strip Xie Qining of his pretense and ruin his reputation.
At the same time, Qin Tianyi was going from bar to bar, asking if anyone had seen Xiao Anjing last night.
The bars they frequented before had no one who had seen Xiao Anjing.
He drove to the Wan Jing Club, the last place he could inquire.
Upon entering the club, he met the security manager on duty during the day and asked if he had seen Xiao Anjing. The man was a bit hesitant.
When they came here before, this security manager often helped them park, and they gave generous tips, so they were considered acquaintances.
"Did President Xiao really come here last night?" Tianyi felt his reaction was strange and pressed, "If he did, just say yes, if not, say no. Why are you being so vague?"
The security manager looked around, gestured with his eyes, and walked with him to a deserted corner before whispering, "President Xiao did come last night, but I heard that Young Master Xie set him up. It seems they recorded some video for him in the private room."
"Video? What do you mean? How could he be in the same private room as Young Master Xie?" Tianyi asked, not understanding.
The security manager shook his head and said, "President Qin, I don't know about that. I only heard others discussing it last night. As for what exactly happened in the private room, I really don't know."
Tianyi asked again, "Then where is he now? Is he injured? Could he have been controlled by Young Master Xie?"
"No, he shouldn't be injured," the security manager said. "Just now, about half an hour ago, I saw President Xiao drive away by himself."
Tianyi was slightly relieved and asked, "Do you know where he was driving to?"
"No, I don't. He was very angry at the time, and I didn't dare to go forward and ask him anything."
"Okay, I understand." Tianyi immediately left the club. Based on his understanding of Xiao Anjing, if he had suffered a loss at Xie Qining's hands last night, he would definitely be going to settle the score with Xie Qining now.
He got back into his car, unsure of where Anjing had gone to find Xie Qining. He could only call someone to help him find out Xie Qining's current location.
Just as he finished a phone call, Susu's call came in.
As soon as he answered, he heard Susu asking, "Tianyi, what happened to Anjing last night? Why did he lie to Lan Yu and say he was working overtime? What happened to him?"
"He must have met Xie Qining alone last night. I'm not sure what exactly happened, and I'm looking for him everywhere now," Tianyi said.
Susu was startled, thinking that Lan Yu had probably told him those things, and he was going to find Xie Qining to get the photos and videos back. She couldn't help but say, "He met Xie Qining? That's too impulsive. Didn't they get into a fight?"
"Do you know why he met Xie Qining?" Tianyi asked.
"Why else? It's probably for Lan Yu, because he doesn't want Lan Yu to be threatened by Xie Qining all the time."
Tianyi immediately understood and asked, "What leverage does Xie Qining have over Lan Yu?"
"This, this is Lan Yu's privacy. I promised her I wouldn't tell anyone, including you." Susu, afraid he would be angry, quickly added, "Can you find Anjing first? It's not good for me to break my promise to Lan Yu."
Tianyi was not angry and said calmly, "I'm not that petty, and I don't like prying into other people's privacy. Since you have reasons not to say, I won't force you to."
"Anjing already knows about this. When you find him, I'm sure he'll tell you."
"I understand. Tell Lan Yu that I will bring Anjing back safe and sound," Tianyi said with a smile.
"Okay, then I'll wait for your news." She hung up first. As she had expected, Xiao Anjing wanted to resolve Lan Yu's matter as soon as possible.
Tianyi closed his eyes to rest in the car, waiting for a reply from the private investigator he had asked for help.
It seemed that Xiao Anjing's abnormal behavior was all for Lan Yu.
In any case, he felt that Anjing had found a very troublesome woman this time. This woman had unknowingly drawn Anjing into her feud with the Xie family.
Their feud with the Xie family was deepening, and there was probably no possibility of reconciliation. He could only stand by Anjing's side and help him deal with Xie Qining.
He waited in the car for nearly two hours, having his secretary cancel all his morning appointments, and finally received a reply from the private investigator.
He quickly drove to Xie Qining's own modeling agency. The private investigator had found out that Xie Qining usually went to his company around noon.
He would stay at the company for the afternoon, and then begin his colorful nightlife, almost always returning to the Xie family mansion after midnight.
Tianyi used the car's navigation to get to the modeling agency and indeed saw Anjing's car.
He parked his car behind Anjing's car, got out, and walked over to knock on his car window.
When Anjing suddenly turned his head to look at him, he could see the murderous intent in Anjing's eyes through the glass.
He gestured for Anjing to unlock the car door and let him in.
Seeing that it was Tianyi and not that scoundrel Xie Qining, the murderous intent in Anjing's eyes instantly disappeared, and he opened the car door.
Tianyi sat in the passenger seat, closed the door, and asked, "What were you doing last night? What exactly happened?"
Anjing didn't answer him and instead asked, "How did you find me?"
"As the dignified Qin Tianyi, is it difficult to find someone in Lancheng?" Tianyi repeated his question, "What happened last night? What happened between you and Xie Qining in the private room?"
"That scoundrel!" Anjing sneered angrily. "How dare he film that kind of video for me! Today, I'll beat him until he hands over all those things!"
"Are you waiting here to force him to comply through violence?" Tianyi just hoped he wouldn't be too impulsive and offered to help him analyze the situation.
