Chapter 71: 071. Eight Years Ago
In front of him, I put away all my sharpness…
Had it been a few years ago, if he had heard Qiao Xu say this, he would have thought her to be ridiculous and having no self-awareness.
But that day, he personally witnessed her using her brilliant medical skills to bring his sister back from the Ghost Gate…
In front of her father and illegitimate daughter, her imposing aura was as if she was high above all else and in control of the whole world…
That Qiao Xu, the Qiao Xu he had recently seen, with all her sharpness, was like the embodiment of a proud woman of heaven, looking down on the world.
He almost forgot that her Grandpa is a distinguished general, she is the only daughter of the Qiao family, she was a princess on a pedestal, as proud as a peacock.
Yet she put away all her sharpness in front of him, so much so, that he almost forgot her identity, forgot that she had such proud blood in her veins.
How could a woman exuding pride from her bones do such a thing?
“Qiao Xu!”
He suddenly rushed to the desk, picked up the mobile phone, and called Qiao Xu’s phone.
“Why did you… why did you treat me like that back then?”
As the phone continued to ring, he murmured this sentence under his breath, as if he was asking Qiao Xu, or perhaps himself. For the first time, Lu Moqing began to wonder if someone had deliberately calculated against him and Qiao Xu in those days.
He even began to fear that the real truth from those years might be in stark contrast to what he knew, and that because of such an illusion, he and Qiao Xu had missed out on so many years together.
As expected, the phone call was hung up by Qiao Xu. After he called several times in frustration, the phone on the other end finally sent a shutdown tone.
That night, Lu Moqing suffered insomnia again.
The next day, Lu Group-
“Jiang Hao, come in!”
A restless voice from Lu Moqing came through the intercom in the President’s office, devoid of his usual calm and coolness, inevitably making people feel fearful.
In less than a minute, Jiang Hao knocked on the door of the President’s office, “President, you wanted to see me?”
“Immediately investigate something for me, make sure to find out everything, don’t leave any stone unturned.”
Jiang Hao looked at Lu Moqing with a dark expression on his face.
He was clearly a personal assistant, not a private detective. Why was the president always asking him to investigate?
Could it be that he was asked to investigate something about Madam again this time?
Jiang Hao secretly swallowed and said, “Yes, President.”
He saw that the President’s usually indifferent eyes seemed to have added a few extra degrees of iciness somehow.
“Eight years ago in Xihua District, someone had bought off…”
Lu Moqing told Jiang Hao about an event that had happened eight years ago. Listening to it, Jiang Hao’s eyes widened in disbelief, feeling as if he had heard something shocking and that if he continued to listen, the President might kill him to silence him.
Being a personal assistant to the President was truly a high-risk occupation.

Despite the shock in his heart, Jiang Hao’s face remained unchanged, and he said, “Alright, President, I’ll have someone look into it right away.”
With that, he pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and left the President’s office.
After Jiang Hao left, Lu Moqing’s gaze slowly turned to the small picture frame hidden behind a pile of documents, staring at the woman in the frame in a daze.
The photo in the frame captured a woman looking back, unaware that the picture had been taken.
In the afternoon, the intercom at the Secretary’s desk rang, the call came from the receptionist. After picking up the phone, the President’s Secretary’s expression became somewhat awkward.
