Chapter 2149: The Three-Person Alliance

Jiang Mobai reacted for a moment before asking in disbelief, "Who, my mother!?"

"Yes."

"No, how could that be? Did you see wrong!?"

After saying this, Jiang Mobai felt that the probability of Xie Wanyi seeing wrong was very, very small.

Moreover, for him to be able to say it in front of him, nine times out of ten...

The person investigating behind the scenes was his mother!

In an instant, Jiang Mobai's body went numb.

He murmured in anxiety and unease, "What does she want to do, what is she going to do, she wouldn't be planning to interfere, would she!"

"I'm afraid, your mother has already interfered."

Jiang Mobai looked up suspiciously.

Xie Wanyi, however, signaled for Jiang Mobai to look toward the corner.

They saw two people also walking onto the platform, chatting as they walked.

Jiang Baobao held Su Kexuan's hand, her tone filled with emotion: "These past few years, you have really worked hard."

"Striving for a career I love, how could it be hard work."

"You child, you're used to being independent; even if you have hardships, you don't say anything. In the future, if you feel wronged, just come find your aunt, and your aunt will stand up for you!"

"Thank you, but I am not a child anymore. I will handle things properly when I encounter them; you really don't need to worry."

"But in your aunt's eyes, you are all children."

When Jiang Baobao said this, she was full of heartache.

Actually, being cared about by someone is quite a happy thing.

Su Kexuan felt very warmed.

But at the same time, she also felt it was very strange.

She always felt that Jiang Baobao's words had an ulterior meaning.

Just as Su Kexuan was preparing to probe a little, a figure walked over quickly.

They pushed Jiang Baobao aside in one go!

Jiang Baobao let out an "Ouch."

When she saw clearly that the person who came was Jiang Mobai, she knitted her brows and scolded: "You child, what are you doing!"

"Um, Su Kexuan is very busy, it's time to go!"

"You child, aren't you just shooing people away? That's too rude!"

Su Kexuan took the opportunity to say: "I do have things to do, I must leave first."

"Hey, but..."

"Isn't that a coincidence, I'll see you off!"

Jiang Mobai didn't even wait for his mother to finish speaking before he pushed Su Kexuan's shoulder and left with her.

Jiang Baobao was angered to the point of suffocation.

Seeing that Xie Wanyi was standing not far away, she asked him: "What's wrong with Mobai, is he having a fit?"

"He is just worried about the secret leaking."

A simple sentence, yet the meaning it contained was very deep.

Jiang Baobao raised an eyebrow, thinking of something.

She didn't speak in riddles either, asking directly: "Does Mobai know I'm investigating him?"

"Yes."

"You told him?"

"That's right."

"Can you tell me why you wanted to tell him?"

"Because Mobai would know sooner or later."

Xie Wanyi's words were correct.

Jiang Baobao hadn't intended to hide it from Jiang Mobai forever either.

It's just... why would Xie Wanyi get involved?

Jiang Baobao didn't understand.

But soon, Jiang Baobao made an assumption: "Are you also investigating the hidden circumstances of that year?"

Xie Wanyi answered very candidly: "Yes."

"Are you investigating it to help Mobai?"

"Mm."

"But Mobai is clearly the person involved, why would he still need to investigate these things?"

"Although he is the person involved, he alone cannot grasp the whole truth. And being in the middle of it, it is easier to have one's vision obscured by complicated, trivial matters."

After hearing these words, Jiang Baobao lowered her eyes and fell into deep thought.

Originally, she felt she had touched upon the truth.

But at this moment, she was a bit lost again.

She felt she had overlooked some things, and had even made a wrong judgment...

But fortunately, now there was an opportunity to supplement the information!

Jiang Baobao raised her brows to look at Xie Wanyi, smiling calmly: "Regardless of what the starting point of the investigation is, we are both doing it for the sake of the two young people."

"You are right about that."

"So, exchanging information, that shouldn't be a problem, right?"

Xie Wanyi also revealed a smile and said calmly, "This doesn't count as an exchange; I know more than you do, I should think."

"Then you can report it, if you like."

Jiang Baobao really had no other choice but to be shameless for once.

To Xie Wanyi, the person before him was not only his future mother-in-law but also a senior he greatly respected.

Since both of them were investigating the same matter, it was only reasonable and proper to greet each other and communicate.

So, even without Jiang Baobao's shamelessness, he still had things he wanted to say.

As for now... it was even more imperative to speak.

Xie Wanyi suppressed his smile and prepared to speak.

But a subtle movement from behind to the side made his gaze suddenly turn sharp.

He turned his head and scolded, "Who's there?"

The other person was quiet for a moment before walking out reluctantly.

Jiang Baobao took a close look and discovered that the person eavesdropping was actually Qingkong.

However, Qingkong did not consider himself to be eavesdropping; he said, "I had a bit to drink and it went to my head, so I came here to catch some breeze."

The moment he appeared, Xie Wanyi knew that Jiang Mobai was absolutely right.

This person really did have a gossiping heart!

Xie Wanyi did not expose Qingkong's facade, but instead said considerately, "Standing here in the breeze will give you a headache."

As he spoke, he prepared to take Qingkong away.

But Qingkong had no intention of leaving.

He knew very well that the two people before him were the most cunning of the cunning.

To want to trade blows with them and win?

That would be nothing short of a fantasy!

Since there was such a vast disparity in strength, it would be better to... be honest!

Qingkong's eyes shifted, and he began to state his intentions: "Actually, I also have information I can share with you two!"

The two people before him were both masters at digging for information.

The things they held in their hands were of high value.

But Qingkong...

He was quite good at taking photos, though.

Qingkong could read their thoughts from the smiling, silent expressions on their faces.

But Qingkong also had his own unique strengths.

He began to promote himself in a measured tone: "I am indeed not very good at investigating, but I am very good at observing! I have already deduced the truth from the minute details and have even received Mobai's confirmation!"

Jiang Baobao knew how stubborn her son could be.

Could he have admitted it so easily?

Jiang Baobao held a skeptical attitude toward this.

Xie Wanyi didn't quite believe it either: "Words alone are not proof; how can you make us believe you?"

"I can call Jiang Mobai right now to confirm this!"

As he spoke, Qingkong prepared to dial the number.

But Xie Wanyi pressed down on his hand.

That was a joke; if Qingkong made this call, both he and Jiang Baobao would be exposed!

So this call could not be made.

But the probing of Qingkong had to continue.

Xie Wanyi withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "Mr. Qingkong, you are quite forthright."

"Just call me Qingkong; I'm the type of person who doesn't like to deceive people, so when I speak, I speak the truth."

"Since that is the case, then let's exchange some information; tell us what you have gathered from Mobai."

"Exchanging is fine, but everything has an order of priority; you two, who goes first?"

When Qingkong spoke, he was all smiles.

But he had his reservations inside.

He was worried that his bit of information would be tricked out of him by the other party, and then they wouldn't let him play along anymore.

How would he be able to gossip—no, care about his friends—after that?

The atmosphere in the room suddenly became heavy, and the air seemed to freeze.
