After rejecting my celebrity husband

Chapter 750: Chapter 754 This is the Happiness I Wanted!【3】

”Xiao Qian ah!” Leng Lin patted her palm, ”This is all I can say; you really can’t ask any more.”

Luo Xiaoqian felt somewhat helpless, what Leng Lin told her was almost the same as not saying anything at all.

”Did something happen?” Seeing her look off, Leng Lin asked again.

”No, nothing!” Luo Xiaoqian hurriedly shook her head, but just then, her phone rang. Seeing it was Gao Jie calling, she hurried out towards the study, ”You go ahead, I need to take a call.”

She walked to her bedroom across from the study and then answered the call, ”Gao Jie, what’s up?”

”I’ve found out: it’s a public phone in Switzerland,” Gao Jie said on the phone.

A public phone!

Luo Xiaoqian was greatly disappointed.

Both leads had gone cold; how could she continue her investigation?

Wait.

No, there was still...

”Hold on a second!” Luo Xiaoqian walked into the small study attached to her bedroom, turned on the computer and entered her email, ”Help me check another email address...”

After hanging up the phone, it was a long wait.

As she waited, she continued to ponder the entire sequence of events concerning this matter.

Pacing back and forth in her bedroom, she noticed a group photo on the shelf in Leng Zimo’s room and subconsciously stopped.

In the photo, Leng Zimo was only around twelve or thirteen years old, surrounded by several other young boys and girls.

Despite the years that had passed, Luo Xiaoqian still recognized Huangfu Ao, Huangfu Ruo, Shen Yizhou, Leng Zirui, and others.

”This must be Xu Pei,” she said, her gaze falling on a girl next to Leng Zimo, noticing another boy standing behind the girl, Luo Xiaoqian frowned, ”Who is he?”

Leng Zimo and their group—they were all old friends who grew up together in the same courtyard, Luo Xiaoqian had come to understand, all except Qin Lan.

But this boy, Luo Xiaoqian had never seen him before.

”Xiao Qian!” Aunt Su came in, bringing her fruit, ”Have some fruit, we’re about to have dinner soon.”

”Alright, thank you, Aunt Su!” Luo Xiaoqian replied absentmindedly. Seeing Aunt Su was about to leave, she quickly called out to her, ”Oh, Aunt Su, who is this?”

Aunt Su came over to look at the photo she was holding, ”Which one?”

”This one, the boy standing behind Xu Pei, this quite delicate-looking one,” Luo Xiaoqian pointed to the boy in the photo who looked very pale and quietly elegant and asked.

”Him... His name is Zheng Ming.”

”Zheng Ming?” Luo Xiaoqian frowned, ”How come I’ve never seen him before?”

Aunt Su gently shook her head, ”Just like Xu Pei, he’s another child with a tough fate. His father was imprisoned just like Xu Pei’s, and then his mother remarried with him. After that, they never returned to the courtyard... Oh my, I have soup on the stove...”

Aunt Su left the room in a hurry, and just as her phone rang, Luo Xiaoqian put down the photo and answered the call.

The call was still from Gao Jie, ”Xiao Qian, we checked that email but couldn’t find anything.”

”How is that possible?!” Luo Xiaoqian asked.

”My friend told me the email must be a highly encrypted one. I don’t know where you got this email from, Xiao Qian, but I just want to remind you, it’s best not to look into it any further. The owner of this sort of highly encrypted email is probably no small fry; such emails are used by high-end criminal gangs and are set to automatically delete themselves if they’re tracked!”

”Okay, I understand,” Luo Xiaoqian hung up the phone, and her newly risen spirits instantly deflated.
