Chapter 231 Choosing a Concubine
Chapter 231 Choosing a Concubine
The next day, as soon as the sky brightened, Nangong Jin hurriedly put on his clothes and went straight to the guest room to find King.
The sound of "thump thump thump" footsteps sounded in the corridor, but when she arrived at the door of the guest room, it was empty, and even the quilt and pillows on the bed were still neatly arranged.
"Hmm? Where's the person? Is he downstairs?"
She quickly turned around and rushed downstairs again. She happened to meet Seventeen in the stairwell. "Miss, why are you up so early?"
"Seventeen, have you seen King?"
Seventeen was confused by the question, "King? No, I didn't see him when I woke up this morning. What happened?"
Nangong Jin glanced across the living room, feeling a little lost. It seemed that he had left last night. For some reason, the guilt in his heart became even stronger.
Indeed, one cannot owe favors to others casually, because one cannot afford to pay them back!
Today happened to be a day off, and Nangong Jin didn't have to go to work. She had nothing to do but stay at home and watch TV, but it was obvious that her mind was not on it at all. She kept changing channels or was in a daze.
Nangong Jin couldn't help but feel a little emotional, as other people would go out shopping with friends during their holidays.
Because she developed a character that was unwilling to trouble others since she was young, she has never had many friends. She only has a few friends of the opposite sex, such as Li Ran, He Wenna, and Zhao Man, but they are all separated now.
Just when she was secretly grieving the passing of time, her cell phone suddenly rang. Looking at the caller ID, her eyes lit up instantly.
In a blink of an eye, she arrived at the coffee shop where she had an appointment with others. She was sitting outdoors, leisurely drinking black coffee and enjoying the warm feeling of the sun on her body.
“Miss Nangong Jin, I didn’t expect you to arrive so soon. I’m so sorry.”
The person who came was a middle-aged man in his forties, wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses. Only his stern face and full beard could be seen. His voice was low, but he was still polite and courteous to others.
Nangong Jin looked at the man in front of him with an easy-going attitude. After all, he was introduced by Su He, so he should at least give him some face.
"Nothing, I just had nothing to do, so I came out to get some fresh air. Please sit down. What would you like to drink?"
"Just give me a glass of water."
Nangong Jin paused for a moment, but quickly said to the waiter, "Please give me a glass of water. Thank you."
"This is some information I recently investigated based on your commission. Please take a look."
The man took out a document from his arms and handed it to Nangong Jin. Nangong Jin was still surprised at his efficiency. She opened the document, thinking that there would not be any useful clues, but the result surprised her.
In addition to recording Mrs. Lin's daily schedule in detail, the album also included photos of her, even in extremely private places.
Nangong Jin looked at the photos one by one and felt that she might need to wash her eyes later. She had never expected that Mrs. Lin, who looked such a dignified and elegant woman, could be so lewd and absurd.
The man looked at Nangong Jin's gradually blushing face, and continued lightly: "These are just photos from this period. According to my investigation, Mrs. Lin is very keen on this kind of love affairs, so she has countless male companions, so..."
Nangong Jin didn't expect to see such an exciting scene so early in the morning, and suddenly she felt a headache.
"Well, apart from these, did she do anything special?"
The man took a sip of water and said, "She goes to a club called Mirror every week. However, it is very difficult to enter this club. In addition to the membership system, you must be a person of extremely noble status to enter, or someone can take you in. Otherwise, you can't enter."
As Nangong Jin listened, he felt that it was so similar to the paradise club he had been to before. It was true that rich people just loved to play around.
"Also, she seems to be particularly concerned about a man named Shen Yi, because I heard her call him more than once."
"Who?" His words made Nangong Jin frown, "Shen Yi?" Could it be the Shen Yi she knew?
"That's all the information I've found so far. I'll continue to follow up until I find the answer you want."
The man's responsible attitude made Nangong Jin's impression of him increase dramatically, "Thank you."
"It's nothing. This is my job. Besides, you are someone Su He cares about, so it's only natural for me to help you. I'm leaving first."
After the man left, Nangong Jin flipped through the document again and couldn't help feeling nauseous. She really couldn't accept this kind of behavior. No wonder Lin Mo had such a weird personality. Anyone would go crazy with such a mother.
Shen Yi? Regardless of whether it was the Shen Yi she knew, she didn't want to drag innocent people into this.
As for the club called Mirror, she only knew two people who met the criteria, either Qi Qin or Lin Mo.
She clenched the document and couldn't help but think of He Zichen again. If she had to say who was the most noble, in fact no one could compare to the current He Zichen, but it was impossible for the two of them to go back to the way they were before.
A bitter smile appeared on Nangong Jin's lips. She hated herself more and more now, always taking advantage of others.
But she had to admit that this world was so realistic. People in the top class would not look up to you because of your abilities, but they would definitely despise you because of your background.
She was so confused that she could only go home temporarily and make plans later. In this way, she was struggling all day long, wondering whether to find Qi Qin or Lin Mo, when Seventeen just came back from outside.
"Miss, this is something for you."
“Huh?” Nangong Jin turned his head from the sofa and took the cowhide bag from Seventeen's hand in confusion.
"?" She looked at the several obsidian cards in the bag. They were shining brightly, cold to the touch, and even emitted a faint scent of sandalwood.
"Mirror!? Supreme Card?"
She couldn't help but look at Seventeen, "Who gave this to you?"
Seventeen looked at her in a daze, "One is from Chairman Lin Hai, one is from President Qi Qin, and one is from Lin Mo. They sent someone to deliver it."
It was not difficult to tell from Seventeen's tone that he really disliked Lin Mo.
Nangong Jin was extremely impressed by the methods used by these wealthy people. It felt very strange that he was investigating others while he was being investigated by others.
She stared at Lin Hai's card in a daze. Logically speaking, she and Lin Hai were not very familiar with each other, so he should not help her with this, unless...
Seventeen suddenly came forward with gossip, "Miss, who will you choose?"
Nangong Jin looked at the other person speechlessly. He was not choosing a concubine, so was there any need to look so excited?
She cleared her throat and said, "I'll go up first." Then she picked up the cards and disappeared in an instant.
Seventeen couldn't help but stand there and mutter: "No one is better than his CEO..."
