Hidden identities of the AI Heiress-Chapter 984: There are too many uncertainties; I disagree
Li Hanzhou hummed with a profound meaning, his gaze lingering on Qiao Yun.
"..."
Qiao Yun pretended not to see that, pondered for a moment, and said slowly: "My idea is..."
Qiao Yun briefly explained her thoughts to them.
After listening, Pei Yao was the first to express his stance, his tone resolute as he rejected: "No! There are too many uncertainties, I don’t agree."
Li Hanzhou didn’t speak, just furrowed his brows.
Qiao Yun gave Pei Yao a calming look: "I believe this is the fastest and simplest method."
Pei Yao remained silent, his face stubborn, obviously still disagreeing.
Qiao Yun said softly: "Trust me."
Pei Yao pursed his lips tightly, his complexion taut, struggling to argue: "Of course, I trust you, but perhaps we have a better way."
Qiao Yun shook her head: "It’s been too long."
Pei Yao naturally understood the meaning behind Qiao Yun’s words; it had been more than a decade, and even if there had been any evidence, it was probably destroyed by the Huo Family, and he might not be able to find anything.
Seeing that he couldn’t convince her, Pei Yao turned to look at Li Hanzhou: "Why aren’t you saying anything? Do you actually agree with Professor Qiao’s idea?"
Li Hanzhou’s tightly furrowed brows relaxed, as he looked deeply at Qiao Yun: "Are you confident?"
Qiao Yun thought about it seriously and gave an answer: "Human beings are often the most unguarded at the moment of victory."
"Alright." Li Hanzhou’s peach blossom eyes curved, "I’ll help you."
Qiao Yun blinked, slightly unable to react to Li Hanzhou’s unexpectedly swift support for her.
Pei Yao was almost furious, pointing a finger at Li Hanzhou and said resentfully: "What kind of boyfriend are you? Knowing the risks and still supporting her, now I doubt your sincerity towards Professor Qiao."
"You don’t understand, this is what I call trusting her even if the whole world doesn’t," Li Hanzhou’s lips curved up, his eyes deep and charming.
Pei Yao was choked up.
He made it sound as if he didn’t trust Professor Qiao.
Qiao Yun touched her little nose and looked at Li Hanzhou with an appreciative gaze: "I like this about you."
Li Hanzhou smiled.
Qiao Yun was not a greenhouse flower; she was clear about what she was doing, hence he would also choose to believe in all her decisions.
Of course, necessary precautions still had to be taken.
Qiao Yun decisively said: "That’s the decision, then."
Pei Yao: "..."
Won’t you ask for my opinion?
Qiao Yun indicated, your opinion is not significant.
What could Pei Yao say? He grumbled: "It’s not that I don’t trust you, I just don’t want you to worry for me."
Qiao Yun simply responded: "Don’t worry."
Pei Yao let out a breath: "Am I very useless?"
Qiao Yun spoke the honest truth: "No, you’ve done very well, don’t trouble yourself over unworthy people."
Pei Yao hummed in acknowledgment, straightened his back, bracing himself.
"Although I’ve agreed with your idea, we still need a thorough plan."
Qiao Yun hummed in agreement.
There is only one opportunity, success is the only option, failure is not.
Especially it must be flawless without Huo Lin being aware of it.
Qiao Yun glanced at the time and noticed it was getting late. She needed to return and thus raised her head to say to Pei Yao: "I should go back now."
"Let’s go together; there’s nothing to do by staying here any longer." Pei Yao prepared to return and ordered his people to thoroughly investigate the Huo Family.
Particularly to check on Fu Yun.
Pei Yao was planning to send Qiao Yun back, but Li Hanzhou took the initiative. After Qiao Yun got into the car, he then asked: "How should we deal with Jiang Jing?"
Qiao Yun seemed unconcerned: "Leave her be, just keep an eye on her to prevent any sabotage."
Pei Yao gave an OK gesture.
Jiang Jing will never make a name for herself in her lifetime; she is destined to remain nameless in the scientific community, which is undoubtedly the greatest revenge on her.
After seeing off Qiao Yun, Pei Yao thought for a moment and then ordered Zhou You to take Jiang Jing to one of his vacant villas for surveillance.
Nobody probably expected that Jiang Jing would end up in his hands.
And indeed, Huo Lin really did not expect Jiang Jing to seek out Pei Yao.
...
Driving home from the warehouse takes several hours.
By the time he gets home, it’s almost ten o’clock at night. During the drive, Qiao Yun received a call from his family, letting them know he was about to arrive home, so they didn’t rush him.
When they arrived at the Lu Family villa’s entrance.
Seeing that it was getting late, Li Hanzhou urged Qiao Yun to hurry inside and said they could talk about anything else tomorrow.
After Qiao Yun got out of the car, he told Li Hanzhou, "Wait for a moment."
"Hmm?" Li Hanzhou raised his eyebrows lightly, but before he could speak, Qiao Yun had already hopped through the gate.
Li Hanzhou smiled indulgently and obediently waited in place.
Qiao Yun rushed into the house.
Su Mian was still up, watching a melodramatic TV series. Seeing someone return, she smiled and said, "Qiaoqiao is back."
"I’m back."
With those words, Qiao Yun’s figure disappeared into the stairwell.
Su Mian: ???
What’s the rush?
Soon after, Qiao Yun came back down, holding something in his hand.
Seeing him about to go out again, Su Mian quickly asked, "Are you going out again so late?"
"No, I have something for Zhouzhou." Qiao Yun replied as he opened the door and went out. 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺
Su Mian felt a pang of sadness in her heart.
This really is...
The girl has grown up and will not stay by my side.
...
When Qiao Yun came out, Li Hanzhou had already gotten out of the car, leaning against it with his tall figure, his distinct fingers holding a cigarette as if about to light it.
But seeing Qiao Yun come out, he put the cigarette back in his pocket.
"Why such a rush?" Li Hanzhou reached out to smooth some of the unruly bangs from Qiao Yun’s forehead.
Qiao Yun looked at him with her clear black and white eyes: "I didn’t want you to wait too long."
"I’m willing to wait." Li Hanzhou’s voice was tinged with laughter, the tone rising playfully at the end, quite charming to the ear.
Qiao Yun uttered "Oh" and handed him a small box in her hand: "This is for you."
"A gift?" Li Hanzhou was startled, taking the gift box Qiao Yun handed over, "Why the sudden gift?"
Qiao Yun fluttered her thick eyelashes, "As a thank-you for the last incident with Adrian, and I really liked the gown."
She didn’t know what to give and was troubled for several days.
Later she thought, if it was something from her, even just a strand of hair, probably Li Hanzhou would be happy for quite a while.
Li Hanzhou smiled with the corners of his mouth and opened the small gift box.
Inside were two exquisite cufflinks, understatedly luxurious, matching his taste.
From the craftsmanship, they probably weren’t cheap.
But the little girl had no concept of money; the better someone treated her, the more expensive the gifts she gave.
Li Hanzhou picked up a cufflink, "Why give this?"
Qiao Yun’s dark eyes looked earnestly at him: "I designed these cufflinks myself; you’re the only one who has them."
Li Hanzhou was completely stunned, no wonder they were so to his liking; it turned out the little friend designed them herself.
If others knew that Professor Qiao personally designed a gift for him, they would probably be green with envy.
Thinking of this, Li Hanzhou felt exceedingly good, his eyes full of laughter, "Will you put them on for me?"
