C13 Madame Ley
The management carried the two out in a flurry, their heads bowed so low that they were practically sticking to their chests, "Director Lei, I'm really sorry. We were building a road nearby and cut off the electricity and water supply, causing you and Madam Ling to be frightened. I'm really sorry."
Ling Xiao Yue handed the matter to Lei Yunze and recited it to him.
Lei Yunze looked at the scattered items on the ground. "Bring the medical kit over. Hurry. I'll wait here."
The two of them immediately turned around and ran off.
Lei Yunze stood in his spot. Suddenly, he recalled the way the duo had addressed Ling Xiao Yue — Madam Ling, your daughter...
Lei Yunze only came back to his senses after the properties had brought the medical kit over. He carried his things and walked straight to Ling Xiao Yue's house.
"You didn't take your things." Lei Yunze raised the bag in his hand. Ling Xiao Yue took the bag and stepped aside to let him in.
Her clothes had already changed. Her long hair was simply tied into a ponytail, and the scratches on her neck were red and swollen.
"Sit here." Lei Yunze sat on the sofa. He patted himself on the shoulder and took out a cotton swab and some iodine.
"Don't be angry."
Ling Xiao Yue walked over slowly and sat down beside him obediently. She lifted up her hair.
As the ice-cold iodine smeared across her neck, her heart trembled. Lei Yunze's face was always cold. She never expected him to be so gentle when applying the medicine.
Feeling Ling Xiao Yue's trembling, Lei Yunze smiled evilly. He leaned over and gently blew on her wound. Ling Xiao Yue was alarmed and dodged as though she had been electrocuted.
"Thank you .." "Thank you. I can do it myself."
"How can you reach it yourself?" Lei Yunze leaned back against the sofa. He had no intention of leaving.
Ling Xiao Yue looked suspiciously at Lei Yunze. She never expected that he would actually act so shamelessly.
Lei Yunze changed the topic. "Today, you asked me to help you investigate your mother's death. What happened?"
Ling Xiao Yue fell silent for a moment before she took her mother's diary from her study and placed it in front of Lei Yunze.
"I received this a few days ago. The person who gave it to me should be the Ling residence's butler, Li Qin. "
Lei Yunze flipped through a few pages and roughly understood the contents. His eyes became sharper as he asked, "Since he already knew this earlier, why did he only tell you now?"
Ling Xiao Yue had not thought about this question before and was stunned by his question.
"Uncle Li won't harm me. He must have some difficulties." Ling Xiao Yue replied with a resolute tone.
Lei Yunze was silent for a moment, then said in a deep voice, "I'll help you with this matter."
Ling Xiaoyue instantly widened her eyes.
"It's been too long, don't alert me. I'll tell you what I find out."
Lei Yunze smirked at her, stood up and prepared to leave, "It's getting late, let's rest."
"Thank you." Ling Xiao Yue saw him to the door and thanked him sincerely.
Time flew by quickly during the night. Ling Xiao Yue slept soundly. Early the next morning, she went out to recite.
The two managers of the property had been waiting at the door for a long time. When they saw them, they came over with gifts.
"My apologies, I frightened Madame Lei and Miss yesterday. This is just a small token of our goodwill, please accept it."
The duo's attitude was sincere, so Ling Xiao Yue could not say much. She just politely rejected their gifts as she held her chanting hand and walked out.
When she reached the elevator, Ling Xiao Yue seemed to have thought of something. Turning her head, she added, "There's one more thing."
The two quickly listened attentively.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not Madame Lei!"
