Chapter 323: Jiang Baobao has never been married again

Li Beijue took his phone, turned, and went upstairs, heading straight to his own room before answering the call.

"Hello? President Li." A man's voice came from the other end of the line.

"Mm, how is the investigation going?" Li Beijue asked, getting straight to the point.

The man on the other end answered immediately: "Everything you wanted to know has been investigated; Jiang Baobao has no record of marriage abroad."

"None?" Li Beijue's heart skipped a beat. As he regained his composure, a surge of joy instantly welled up. He pondered for two seconds before confirming again: "Are you sure there's no mistake?"

"Certain. She truly has never been married, and there isn't even a record of her having been married and then divorced."

The man replied in a deep voice once more, his tone extremely certain.

Only then did Li Beijue let out a long sigh of relief and nod slightly: "Good, I understand. I will have someone deposit the money into your account later."

After finishing his sentence, Li Beijue hung up the phone directly, yet he stood by the window, motionless for a long while.

It wasn't until a bird chirped outside the window that he suddenly snapped back to his senses, a rare flash of excitement appearing in his eyes.

Jiang Baobao has never been married!

Everything she said before was just to deceive him!

Then, is it possible that Tiantian is really...

Li Beijue's gaze flickered for a moment, and a thought in his mind could not help but become increasingly clear.

On the other side, Jiang Baobao was still in a tense meeting with Shen Lingfeng and the team members.

"Boss, you mentioned a new tactic earlier; do you have some ideas?" Ke Hao asked from the other end of the video call while holding a small notebook to take notes.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Baobao nodded: "I have already organized a framework. I will send it to Brother Shen in a moment. You all should familiarize yourselves with it first and prepare to start practicing in the next two days, striving to get in sync as quickly as possible."

No sooner had she finished speaking than she heard Xiao Ding also chime in: "Shadow is already a defeated opponent of ours; wouldn't it be fine if we just played normally? Besides, this is only the preliminary round..."

"Even if it is just the preliminary round, do you believe the other side has already studied your match footage over and over again?"

Jiang Baobao took over the conversation and explained patiently: "This time, it's not just Shadow; every Team is watching us. Do you want to squeeze into the top sixteen with a mix of wins and losses, or do you want to dominate and reach the top without losing a single match?"

On the other end of the video, everyone immediately answered loudly: "Of course, without dropping a single point!"

"Very good. Since you have that resolve, then hurry up and go train." Jiang Baobao spread her hands and leaned back in her chair.

Several team members immediately did not delay for a second, turned around, and sat back down in front of their positions to continue training.

In an instant, only Shen Lingfeng remained on the screen.

"Lingfeng, Tiantian still has injuries on her legs, and I have other matters to handle here. If I have time during the day, I will try my best to come over. As for the evening training, I'll leave it to you for now."

Jiang Baobao suddenly thought of something and spoke to Shen Lingfeng on the other side of the screen with a hint of apology.

Upon hearing this, Shen Lingfeng hurriedly shook his head: "It's fine. I don't have much to be busy with in the country anyway. It's you—it feels like you haven't rested well these past few days..."

As he spoke, he suddenly paused for a moment, his expression showing some hesitation.

He pondered for another two seconds before pretending to ask casually: "By the way... I heard... you went abroad with Li Beijue to hang out for a few days a while ago?"

Jiang Baobao did not expect him to suddenly bring this up. She was stunned for a moment, then immediately understood in her heart.

That brat Mobai must have been using Ke Hao and the others' break time to play games with them; it must have been him who let it slip!

"Mobai told you, right?" Jiang Baobao asked with a laugh, then explained: "We did go for a few days, but it wasn't to hang out; it was because of his work. I won't explain the details to you, but it definitely wasn't how that brat described it!"

Shen Lingfeng's gaze flickered for a moment, and he nodded slightly.

Back then, when Mobai said the two of them went on a date, it really gave him a shock.

But he also felt that this didn't seem like Baobao's style of doing things...

Shen Lingfeng thought to himself, then continued to ask, feeling uneasy: "Have you been doing well living over there during this time? Did he give you any trouble?"

"That, he didn't. The two of us now... should count as friends, right?" Thinking of how the two of them had been getting along during this time, Jiang Baobao's tone was much more relaxed than before.

Shen Lingfeng, however, couldn't help but twitch his brow.

Friends?

Baobao treats Li Beijue as a friend, but... who knows what Li Beijue is thinking?

"Lingfeng?"

Jiang Baobao's voice suddenly rang out, abruptly pulling back Shen Lingfeng's train of thought.

He hurriedly replied: "Mm? I'm here."

Immediately after, he heard Jiang Baobao say with a laugh: "You said I haven't rested well, but I think you're the same. Get some rest early lately. If there's nothing else, I'll hang up first."

"Wait a moment!" Shen Lingfeng spoke out to stop her subconsciously.

Jiang Baobao's movements indeed paused, and she looked at him with some confusion.

"You..."

Shen Lingfeng opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but for a moment, he didn't know what to say.

He just didn't want this video call to end so quickly.

"Buzz—!"

The phone Jiang Baobao had placed by her side suddenly vibrated violently.

Jiang Baobao was startled and hurriedly picked up the phone, only to see the words "Xinaijie" displayed on the screen.

She subconsciously frowned, suddenly thought of something, and hurriedly said to the other end of the video: "Lingfeng, I need to take a call first. If there's anything, just send me a message later."

As she spoke, Jiang Baobao hung up the video and hurriedly answered the phone.

"Baobao, are you busy?"

Liu Xin'ai's voice came through the receiver, as gentle and quiet as ever.

Jiang Baobao hurriedly answered: "I just finished being busy. What's wrong, Xinaijie?"

"Nothing, just wanted to ask you if you have time the day after tomorrow, and if you'd like to come to my engagement party..." Liu Xin'ai was silent for two seconds before asking calmly.

Her tone was calm, making it impossible for anyone to hear a hint of anything unusual.

Jiang Baobao was stunned for a moment, subconsciously calculating in her heart, only then realizing that the engagement date she had mentioned last time had already arrived so quickly.

She immediately agreed without hesitation: "The day after tomorrow, is it? I have time, but..."

Thinking of how Liu Xin'ai was going to get engaged to someone she was completely unfamiliar with for the sake of the so-called family, Jiang Baobao felt a bit uneasy for a moment and couldn't help but want to try to persuade her again.

Yet, she suddenly recalled what she had said to her last time.

Some things... are simply beyond one's control.

Jiang Baobao's gaze flickered for an instant, but in the end, she swallowed her words, changed the subject instead, and asked: "Is there anything you need my help with?"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Xin'ai shook her head gently and replied in a low voice: "Everything is already mostly prepared; I am already very happy that you can come when the time comes."

She stood by the window, looking out with a vacant expression, her eyes devoid of even a glimmer of light.
