Chapter 255: Not Allowed to Refuse (2)
Fu Nancheng frowned, unable to tell if she was deliberately avoiding him or genuinely busy.She always made him feel inscrutable.
"The evening party concerns Qiao Dehou’s case."
He spoke again, causing Qiao Mo to furrow her brow.
She really hadn’t expected the evening party Fu Nancheng mentioned to be related to Qiao Dehou, especially since he had already clearly refused her, to the point where she didn’t hold any hope.
"No need, I appreciate Mr. Fu’s kind intentions."
Upon hearing this, Fu Nancheng was slightly stunned, his expression immediately darkening.
With a ’snap’, before Qiao Mo could react, the call was disconnected.
Qiao Mo looked at the disconnected call, silent.
It wasn’t that she wanted to be angry with him, but rather because Han Zirui already had a seventy percent certainty to prove Qiao Dehou’s innocence.
Compared to Fu Nancheng, who was like an unpredictable time bomb, she preferred to choose Han Zirui.
After all, she had also spoken to Fu Nancheng, and he clearly wasn’t too willing to help.
...
At six in the evening, Han Zirui parked a red sports car in front of the dormitory building.
After Qiao Mo got in the car, she couldn’t help but say, "The school’s forum will probably have pictures of me again tomorrow."
Han Zirui chuckled lightly, seeing that she wasn’t wearing much, and turned up the heater a bit more.
"You’re quite the figure at school; people notice your every move."
Qiao Mo rolled her eyes and sighed softly, "How am I a figure? I’ve clearly offended some small-minded people."
An hour later, the car stopped in front of the Hilton Hotel.
In front of the hotel, there was a constant stream of luxury cars, handsome men and beautiful women paired up, all meticulously dressed.
"What kind of banquet is this, exactly?" Qiao Mo surveyed the scene and couldn’t help but ask.
"It’s the birthday celebration of a highly respected senior in the legal circles, but we aren’t here for him, just that person will also be here today."
After handing over the car to the valet, Han Zirui glanced at Qiao Mo, a touch of amazement flashing in his eyes.
She wore a silver-white long dress, with colorful embroidery of birds, fish, and snakes at the hem, unlike the usual floral patterns women wore—carrying a touch of spirit, perfectly wrapping around her curves, highlighting her extraordinary elegance.
Han Zirui extended his arm, and Qiao Mo had no choice but to lightly hold onto it.
"Who are we actually here to see?"
"A paparazzo."
"Paparazzo?" Qiao Mo was momentarily stunned, walking into the banquet hall with him.
The banquet hall was grand, with a mingling of guests, enchanting lights, elegant piano music mingling with the aroma of wine, especially intoxicating. Amidst the shifting lights, the hems of dresses fluttered like rippling water.
Immediately, Han Zirui began searching among the crowd.
His gaze mostly landed in an inconspicuous corner.
Qiao Mo followed him in searching all around, but unfortunately, she had no idea what the paparazzo he spoke of looked like.
"Is this paparazzo very important?"
"Yes, he started as paparazzi and is now quite renowned in Jiang City, able to find anyone we’re looking for."
Qiao Mo nodded, "Everyone?"
"Yes, even the dead."
Qiao Mo’s heart was slightly startled, including the dead...
If even the dead could be found, he must be extraordinarily capable.
Soon, Han Zirui’s eyes brightened, and he walked toward a corner.
"But this person has a somewhat unpredictable temper and might not be willing to help. Fortunately, my father has some connections with him, so I was able to learn of his whereabouts."
Following him along, Qiao Mo soon reached the corner.
In the corner stood two figures, one in a sharp suit, the other in a casual T-shirt, with a baseball cap covering most of his face.
