Mei Aiyuan looked in disbelief at the phone placed on the table by Xiao Jing. Did he just hear a shocking secret and watch a little detective threaten the defendant?

Lin Jiao's heart jolted sharply at Tang Xi's words. "What do you mean?" he yelled.

But the answer he got was just a busy tone. Seeing Tang Xi had hung up the phone, Xiao Jing stood up casually and straightened her clothes before turning to look at Mei aiyuan and thanking her. "Thank you, Mrs Chen. I'll take this woman with me now.”

Mei Aiyuan was still shocked by Tang Xi's words just a moment ago. Hearing Xiao Jing thank him, he nodded and muttered, "Sama-sama. If Miss Xiao needs help, let me know.”

Xiao Sa raised his eyebrows, while Xiao Jing also looked at Mei aiyuan doubtfully. Mei aiyuan smiled and said gently, "If Miss Xiao finds out what happened to her that year and wants to take this woman to court, I can take a stand to testify.”

Xiao Jing, Xiao Sa and even Yang Qimo all looked surprised. With her current social status, Mei Aiyuan could live comfortably in W city without adapting to anyone's anger or giving anyone face, yet now she offers to help testify in court? Mei Aiyuan knew what they were thinking when she saw their appearance. He smiled and said, "I really appreciate Miss Xiao. Besides, she's my daughter's classmate and her idol, so I want to do Miss Xiao this little favor.”

Xiao Jing nodded and thanked him. "Then I want to thank Madam Chen on behalf of my sister. We will take the woman with us now.”

Lin Jiao looked at Xiao Jing and asked coldly, "What does Xiao Rou mean by her words? Why was Jinning arrested? No, how did my mother get arrested by the police?! How dare you do that to my mom?”

Xiao Jing glanced at Lin Jiao, who was still unconverted even now, and replied impatiently, "You'll know when you get to City A. Now shut up and follow us.”

They could not travel by plane, as Lin Jiao was injured, so the two brothers decided to return to the city overnight.

After hanging up the phone, Tang Xi had called 008.

[System: my little night owl princess, may I ask why you called me?]

Tang Xi had gotten used to 008's strange way of dealing with it. He just asked, "Who's my mom's parents?”

008: "How do I know that? I'm not the obstetrician who took care of your mother at birth.”

Tang Xi could almost imagine 008 pursing her lips as she said this. He frowned and continued to ask, "Aren't you the Almighty System? You don't even know this?!”

"I'm not a gouging system. I'm a decent system, okay? Don't think of me as a voyeur!”

Tang Xi was speechless. He curled his lips and said, "OK, Okay. Then let me ask you, is Xiao Jinning Lin Jiao's daughter?”

008: "Well, isn't this what you're looking for now? You will find out about the truth as long as you do a paternity test with Lin Jiao and Xiao Jinning's blood. Why are you asking me?”

Tang Xi was angry. "I want to know early, okay? Then I will be much more certain when I see that Lin Jiao tomorrow! Don't you know that the most important thing about negotiation is to know your opponents well? Moreover, if Lin Jiao really had anything to do with the child exchange case, it would not be an accident but a crime!”

008 Falling into silence. Tang Xi frowned and waited for a 008 response. It was a long time before 008 answered. "According to the information, Lin Jiao, who disappeared for more than one year twenty-three ago, was actually in the city of W during that period.”

[System: no further information. The rest would be left to the host Tang Xi to finish independently. Cheer up, little detective!]

Tang Xi leaned her palm against her eyebrows and was completely speechless. Where did he find this stupid system?

Well, it looks like he didn't find the system but the system found it.

Okay, he reads novels sometimes. In all the system novels, it seems that only the male protagonist can get a satisfactory system, while the system for women is all a trap!

Tang Xi got up while comforting herself and stretching. He would then go to sleep when suddenly, his eyes widened and he gazed out into the courtyard. A Porsche Cayenne was parked outside and a man she could not be more familiar with leaned against the car and stared at it.

Tang Xi immediately turned around and ran out. By the time he ran down, Qiao Liang was already waiting for him at the door. He looked at her in surprise and asked gently, "Why are you here?”

Qiao Liang pulled her into his arms. His voice was hoarse and sounded a bit tired as he replied, "I work late until ten and when I get back home, I still can't sleep, so I came here to see you." She hugged him tightly and asked in a softer voice, "Why haven't you slept yet?”

When Tang Xi heard Qiao Liang say lightly he came to see her because she couldn't sleep, she felt a sharp pain in her heart. He knew his insomnia could not be cured immediately. He whispered, "I'm trying to figure out why Xiao Rou was sent to the city of W and just found a clue, which is why I didn't sleep, but I'm going to go to sleep.”

Qiao Liang nodded and gently let go. "Don't exhaust yourself. Just sleep.”

Tang Xi frowned as she looked at Qiao Liang and asked with a frown, "You came here just to say this to me?”

Of course not!

Qiao Liang shouted this in his heart, but he could not bear to let him become tired. Tang Xi stepped forward to hug Qiao Liang's waist and whispered, "Since you came, sleep here.”

Qiao Liang's heart gave a huge leap and he looked at Tang Xi with a smile on his lips. "Are you inviting me?”

Tang Xi gave him an angry look and pinched the meat on his waist. Qiao Liang snorted and grabbed Tang Xi's hand, and his voice became hoarse. "Xixi, don't tease me.”

Tang Xi shrugged and pouted at Qiao Liang. "I mean, since you're here, sleep in the car for a while. A two-hour nap is also considered sleep.”

Qiao Liang frowned. "Then you can't sleep.”

Tang Xi replied, "It's okay. You sleep for two hours and I will wake you up, then I will go upstairs to sleep after you leave.”

Qiao Liang curled his lips and said reluctantly, "I'd rather sleep in your room.”
