This was the first time Yao Nian was paid so much money. When he used to help Xia Zhe, he was only paid a few hundred dollars each time. Furthermore, he was asked to investigate very dangerous stuff.

Ever since Qiao Mei took over, there had been a vast improvement in the quality of his life. Most of her cases were for him to investigate other families. Such cases were simpler but very cumbersome as he needed to verify all the information received for authenticity.

He had lost more than 10 pigeons to fatigue! He felt that he deserved a bonus of at least a few thousand dollars! However, he did not expect Qiao Mei to be more generous than he imagined. The amount of 20,000 dollars was the highest amount he had ever earned in so many years!

Just a while ago, Yao Nian still had a gloomy expression on his face. Now, he was smiling at Qiao Mei like a sunflower facing the sun. He said excitedly, “Director Qiao, you’re so generous Thank you, Director Qiao There’s no need to trouble Director Qiao to send your staff to deliver the money to my house. I’ll go to the factory to pick up the money myself now!”

“How spineless! You change your attitude so quickly!” Qiao Mei said disdainfully.

“Who will dare to get angry with their client? You can ask for whatever you want in the future! Your cases take priority!” Yao Nian said excitedly.

“Then what if Xia Zhe gives you a case?” Qiao Mei asked.

“You still get priority of course Nothing is more important than Director Qiao’s cases ” Yao Nian said obsequiously.

Qiao Mei waved her hand and chased Yao Nian off. She took the documents upstairs and read through them carefully. Everything that Shi Rui had done in the past three months was listed down clearly.

Shi Rui had a childhood sweetheart named Sun Shao. He was two years older than Shi Rui and the two of them were very close since they were young. Everyone thought that the two of them were a couple and the villagers assumed that the two of them would get married in the future.

Sun Shao did not do well in school. Since his parents had many children, he dropped out of school at a young age to help his family with the farming. On the other hand, Shi Rui did quite well in school and her family allowed her to continue studying. Just when Shi Rui graduated from high school, she found out that Sun Shao was going to get married.

Sun Shao had gone to work in another city and met another woman. That woman was very pretty and flirtatious and did not have a permanent place to stay. Sun Shao fell in love with her at first sight, but after they got married, he realized that the woman was very promiscuous and continued to see other men. She even became pregnant with another man’s child.

In a fit of anger, he beat up that woman, causing her to have a miscarriage. After losing the child, she was told that it would be very difficult for her to get pregnant again. This made her go around seducing other men even more frequently. Sun Shao went to look for Shi Rui to pour out his troubles and he also apologized to her, telling her that he wanted to reconcile with her. As the two of them reminisced about the past, they felt a little emotional and drank quite a lot. They ended up in bed together after getting drunk.

“So that child is his ” Qiao Mei said as she held the documents in her hand.

“What child?” Xia Zhe asked.

“Shi Rui is pregnant and she insists it’s Eldest Brother’s child. I think Eldest Aunt will definitely bring Shi Rui to the hospital to cause trouble. We have to find evidence of the truth before they do that,” Qiao Mei said.

“Where is the child’s father now?” Xia Zhe asked.

“In the village in Shi Rui’s hometown.” Qiao Mei and Xia Zhe had a discussion and decided to set off immediately to look for Sun Shao. They were sure that they would be able to make it back before dark.

After more than two hours of traveling, the two of them arrived at Shidong Village. They went looking from house to house and finally found out the exact location of Sun Shao’s house.

Qiao Mei looked at the dilapidated courtyard door and broken fence and frowned slightly. She did not expect Sun Shao to be so poor that he was even worse off than the poorest family in Foshan Village.

“Is Sun Shao at home?” Xia Zhe shouted into the courtyard.

Sun Shao walked out of the woodshed with a bundle of firewood. He looked at Xia Zhe and Qiao Mei curiously and asked, “That’s me. Why are you looking for me?”

“We need to talk to you. I wonder if it’s convenient for us to come in?” Qiao Mei said.

Sun Shao looked at the two of them in puzzlement. Then, Sun Shao put down the firewood in his hand and brought them into the house. The house was also a little rundown, but at the very least, it provided good shelter and could be considered a proper home.

The moment Qiao Mei entered the house, she noticed the big color television which looked very much out of place. With Sun Shao’s financial situation, how could he afford such a good color television? If he had the money, it would make more sense to renovate the rundown house rather than buy an item as impractical as a television set.
