Chapter 819 Too Smart Kids Have No Friends

Yanhuang Headquarters 101.

While Shang Yu was still busy, Li Qiao sat in the rest area drinking fruit juice absently.

The phone rang, but before she recovered, the vibrating sound attracted Shang Yu's attention.

He stared at it for a few seconds, and when he saw Li Qiao connected to the phone in a daze, he narrowed his dark eyes.

It was Su Moshi who called.

Li Qiao put down the juice glass, listened to what he said, and asked casually, "Australia?"

"Well, do you have any trusted acquaintances?"

Li Qiao pondered for a few seconds, her eyes flashed, "I'll call you later."

Before Su Mo could respond, she ended the call and called Bai Yan again.

Bai Yan, who was frying the rice, picked it up in seconds, shaking the spoon while holding the spatula, and holding the mobile phone on his shoulder, angrily preemptively said, "For matters in the mortal world, please contact Zhong Kui."

Li Qiao: "..."

She pursed her lips, too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and said bluntly, "Who is in Australia?"

Bai Yan was stunned for a second, then dropped the spatula and turned off the fire, "It was Q before, but now it should be... Huang Cuiying."

Li Qiao raised her eyebrows calmly, "Ye Jing was in Australia before?"

"Didn't you read her profile?" Bai Yan asked confidently, "All the transnational business in her hands has been given to M. If you want contacts, let M arrange them."

Li Qiao was silent, "Hang up."

Bai Yan curled her lips. She just had no heart before, but since she followed Shang Shaoyan, she has become less and less cute.

Shang Shaoyan, a dog man, spoiled all the mascots of Yanmeng.

Li Qiao put down her phone and started to be in a daze again. She really didn't have any friends in Australia. Even though Xi Luo took over Ye Jing's transnational business, it was hard to say whether those people believed it or not.

At this time, the sound of tapping on the table board came from the left side.

Shang Yu straightened his cuffs, with an intriguing expression on his face, "Why don't you ask me?"

Li Qiao blinked her eyes, got up and walked over, leaning against the boss's desk, and asked with a friendly smile, "Do you have any acquaintances?"

The man leaned on the handrail with his arms and raised his head slightly, "Who needs it?"

"Fourth Su." Li Qiao reached out and tugged at his collar, explaining softly, "He's going to Australia."

Shang Yu pressed the corner of his lower lip, held her hand and squeezed it, and picked up the mobile phone on the table to dial.

He turned on the speakerphone, and the moment the other party answered the call, a pleasant sound of ocean waves came slowly.

Jin Rong was sitting on a fishing boat, comfortably holding on to the fishing rod, "Why do you call me when you have time? What about my daughter Qiqi?"

"Very free?" Shang Yu raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Qiao, wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her into his lap.

Jin Rong smiled slyly: "What are you talking about first?"

Shang Yu put one arm around Li Qiao's waist and gave her a look. Li Qiao pulled her lower lip, "It's me."

With a snap, Jin Rong threw the fishing rod directly to his subordinates, "Dear girl, tell me, don't be too polite, godfather is free recently."

Shang Yubo's lips curled up into a smile that was not a smile, and he tightly circled Li Qiao's waist, as if silently declaring his sovereignty.

He didn't let Li Qiao speak, and arranged in a deep voice: "Go to Australia."

Jin Rong: "Let Qiqi tell me."

Shang Yu looked at Li Qiao, curled his lips quietly, "Go over as soon as possible."

Before Jin Rong could speak, the man pressed the end button.

Jin Rong, who was fishing at sea, smiled and was not angry. Looking at the vast sea, he turned his head and told his subordinates, "Get ready and go to Australia in the afternoon."

As soon as he finished speaking, he squinted his eyes and murmured seriously: "After returning from Australia, it's time to go to Nanyang to enjoy the snow."

...

At seven o'clock in the evening, Li Qiao and Shang Yu returned to the mansion.

Mochizuki was still holding a stack of documents in his hand, obviously Shang Yu hadn't finished his work yet.

After the two had dinner, Li Qiao went to the underground laboratory, while the man sat in the study and continued to deal with business.

The night was like thick ink, Li Qiao held small scissors in her hand, and carefully cut the sutures of the swaddling clothes.

In less than ten minutes, all the long threads were removed, and seven or eight thread ends of similar colors were neatly placed on the test bench.

Under the bright light, the color of one of the thread ends is obviously different from the others.

Li Qiao put down the scissors and slowly tore apart the cloth of the swaddle. There was nothing but evenly distributed cotton.

The phone rang.

Li Qiao's eyes fell on the swaddling clothes that had been taken apart, and she leaned back in the chair when answering the call, "What's wrong?"

At this time, Xi Luo was sitting at the bay window of her house with a glass of red wine enjoying the night view.

Hearing Li Qiao's voice, she smirked and said, "Little friend, do you still remember that you have a fund company?"

Li Qiao touched her forehead and sighed, "Is there something wrong with the company?"

"You won't come if you have nothing to do?" Xi Luo sipped her red wine, "It's been four or five days since you returned to Nanyang, so you should come here to show your face, don't you want to hear the gossip of Emperor Ying?"

"Tomorrow." Li Qiao went to the water dispenser to get a glass of water, "What gossip?"

Satisfied, Xi Luo pretended to be mysterious and asked, "Do you know who broke the scandal in Yingdi entertainment circle?"

"The Xiao family?"

Xi Luo snorted, "It's the second crown prince."

Li Qiao paused while drinking water, then bent her lips indifferently, "That's it."

"More than that, I heard that the entire British Empire is now spreading rumors. The cause of death of the former Duchess is unknown. People who have received donations from the Duchess before are petitioning to restart the investigation."

At this point, Xi Luo asked with a smile: "You said, who is behind this?"

Li Qiao said casually, "I don't know."

"I really don't know?" Xi Luo teased meaningfully. "That's a pity. When the former duchess passed away, it happened to coincide with the wedding of the royal family and the crown prince. This time, they may have to escape again."

Xi Luo obviously had something to say.

Li Qiao paced back to the experiment table, put down her cup and asked softly, "Is marriage on the agenda?"

"A child who is too smart has no friends!"

Li Qiao poked the cotton in the swaddle, "Margaery didn't refuse?"

Xi Luo got up from the bay window, walked to the bar and poured another half glass of wine, "Children of the royal family have no freedom of marriage, so she has no room to refuse. Margaret asked me to tell you that the wedding date is set on New Year's Day, you If she doesn't help disrupt Huang Lian's marriage, she will become the second duchess whose cause of death is unknown."

Li Qiao: "..."

There is no need to curse yourself like this.

...

At 10:30 in the middle of the night, Li Qiao finished her report, and when she got up, she put the dismantled swaddling clothes back into the vacuum bag. There were no clues, and she didn't want to waste any more energy.

Back in the master bedroom, Shang Yu was not there, only a dim floor lamp was lit in the corner of the dim room.

After taking a shower, Li Qiao got under the quilt, lay there for a while without feeling sleepy, then got out of bed and went to the study.

The door of the study room was ajar, and there was no sign of Shang Yu at the desk.

Suddenly, intermittent voices came from the balcony, and Li Qiao walked to the French window, and saw Shang Yu wearing a thin cashmere sweater and slacks, standing in the cold night wind, smoking a cigarette and making a phone call.
