Hearing Mu Qian's question, Meng Linsheng seemed to pause, but did not avoid anything.
He just smiled slightly and said: "I think the person who makes you go to such great lengths to find someone is probably of this age, right?"
Mu Qian shook her head slightly, "This answer won't get high marks."
Meng Linsheng couldn't help but chuckle, and then said: "Qianqian, please believe me. Because you have helped me complete the investigation of the case so well. Everything I do is to help you."
After hearing this, Mu Qian quietly looked at him for a long time.
To a certain extent, when Meng Linsheng said these words, he had already admitted something.
"Did you ask someone to give the photo to me?" Mu Qian asked.
Meng Linsheng probably didn't expect her to be so direct, but there was nothing he could do about it. After a moment, he nodded slightly.
Mu Qian's eyes narrowed slightly.
"Then why don't you come to me directly and use this method to lure me to New York?"
After Meng Linsheng pondered for a moment, he said: "Let's put it this way, I don't want you to have any misunderstanding about me and think that I have ulterior motives."
After all, Ye Jinfan was involved in this, and Ye Jinfan was involved in the Lu family. The Lu family was a special existence to Meng Linsheng.
Meng Linsheng said this, which is understandable.
"Since you want to avoid suspicion, you shouldn't appear in front of me later." Mu Qian said.
Meng Linsheng nodded slowly, with a helpless smile on his lips, "I know. But I just want to help you. I know this is what I should do."
Mu Qian lowered her eyes and thought for a long time before finally speaking again: "You have indeed helped me a lot. Now can you tell me the cause and effect of this photo?"
"The photo was taken by someone under me. We met by chance, but Ye Jinfan is not a nobody here, so I took it." Meng Linsheng said, "I also saw you holding a charity auction.
After reading the news, I realized that the girl in the photo may be very important to you."
Hearing this, Mu Qian's body stiffened slightly uncontrollably.
Since receiving the photo, she has never acknowledged that the person in the photo is Ye Xi.
The reason for such active pursuit is just to find out who that woman is and why she looks so similar to Ye Xi.
It's not that she doesn't want Ye Xi to live, it's just that she doesn't want to give herself vain hope.
But at this moment, Meng Linsheng bluntly said that the person in the photo should be very important to her. For a moment, Mu Qian was a little stung.
This stinging pain even made her slightly irritated.
"I want to know who the person in the photo is, but it doesn't mean she is important to me." Mu Qian said.
Meng Linsheng seemed to understand what she was thinking. Hearing her obviously emotional words, he just nodded and said, "Okay, then I will check with you to see who the woman in this photo is."
Mu Qian did not refuse.
The identity of the woman in the photo has become her biggest concern at this moment. If she can use Meng Linsheng's connections to find out as soon as possible, it will not do her any harm.
The answer to this question appeared in Meng Linsheng's hands the next day.
Mu Qian saw the woman's passport information on Meng Linsheng's computer.
The woman's name is Xia Ling, a native of Jiangcheng. She was born in 1990. Except for her face that is almost identical to Ye Xi's, her birth information has no overlap with Ye Xi's.
But she appeared next to Ye Jinfan, and left the United States at the same time as Ye Jinfan more than a month ago.
Mu Qian stared at the woman's information on the passport information without moving for a long time.
Seeing that she was silent for a long time, Meng Linsheng said, "What do you think?"
Mu Qian sneered slightly and said, "What can I say? I won't have any opinion until I see this woman with my own eyes."
"I think your style has always been to make bold assumptions and be careful to verify." Meng Linsheng glanced at her and said slowly.
Mu Qian gritted her teeth and did not answer.
In fact, what Meng Linsheng said is not accurate. Her usual style is to make bold assumptions and exaggerate to prove.
But the incident she encountered this time left her without the courage to even make assumptions.
She didn't want to assume that she had never lost Ye Xi;
She didn't want to assume that after experiencing the car accident, pain, and death, Ye Xi would now live in this world in such a way that she had completely lost herself.
Just because once such an assumption takes shape in her heart, she can easily lose herself.
By that time, she will lose her mind and frantically search for Ye Xi's whereabouts.
She couldn't predict what kind of problems that would cause.
"So, are you going to go back to China to find her?" Meng Linsheng asked again.
Mu Qian nodded, "Well. Since she has left the United States, I will go back to look for her. If I can't find her in Tongcheng, I will go to Jiangcheng to look for her. After searching every corner, I can always find this woman named Xia Ling."
Meng Linsheng was quiet for a moment and then said again: "When are you going to go back?"
"The sooner the better." Mu Qian replied, but the next moment, she paused uncontrollably.
If she goes back like this, what should she do about Cheng Manshu's problem?
Meng Linsheng saw her momentary absence in his eyes and asked in a low voice: "Is there any problem?"
"No." Mu Qian exhaled slightly, "I have to go back after all. For other things, just let them take their own course."
Meng Linsheng did not ask her what the "other questions" were. After smiling slightly, she said: "That's good, we can go together."
Mu Qian couldn't help but stare at him.
Meng Linsheng said: "I originally planned to go back to Tongcheng in the past few days, and now you have to go back too, just in time."
Mu Qian accepted his help without being pretentious. She smiled lightly and said, "Okay."
…
It was seven o'clock in the morning Beijing time when Huo Jinxi got the news that Mu Qian was coming back.
The call was from Wu Hao. He probably didn't want to disturb his rest, so he took the time to call and told him that Mu Qian had arrived at the airport, and that he was accompanied by Meng Linsheng.
This day happened to be the weekend, and Huo Jinxi rarely rested. He got up early and talked with Cheng Manshu for a while before returning to the Huo family's old house.
He originally planned to spend time with Huo Qiran today, but Mu Qian happened to be back today. Everything seemed to be the best arrangement.
When Huo Jinxi returned to his old house, he unexpectedly saw Huo Bainian.
It had been so long since Cheng Manshu cut his wrists that Huo Bainian had never returned to the mansion to take a look. Unexpectedly, he saw him here today.
Huo Bainian was sitting on the sofa, holding a world encyclopedia in his hand and reading through it with Huo Qiran.
The moment he raised his eyes and saw Huo Jinxi, Huo Bainian just smiled faintly and said, "Back?"
Huo Jinxi said nothing, but filtered in his mind what day it was today.
Soon he retrieved the same date from his memory - the day when Rong Qingzi came to the Huo family.
No wonder Huo Bainian suddenly appeared here.
Huo Jinxi lowered his eyes lightly and raised the corners of his lips sarcastically.
