Chapter 1248: Chapter 1247: A Maiden’s Heart

The reporters below were still crowding, still wanting to ask Zhang Tian questions. But Zhang Tian no longer paid attention. He just walked forward.

Because of Zhang Tian’s presence, the reporters didn’t even notice Jiang Cheng behind him. Jiang Cheng looked at Zhang Tian’s height in front of him, sighing, he was completely blocked out.

Zhang Tian took Jiang Cheng into his car. ”Sorry,” Jiang Cheng said.

”No need to apologize, it has nothing to do with you,” Zhang Tian said.

Jiang Cheng looked at Zhang Tian, who didn’t want to say anything, and he too said nothing more.

”Besides, I should thank you, right?” Zhang Tian smiled.

”Thank me? Today’s matter, there was no need,” Jiang Cheng said.

”No,” Zhang Tian said, ”because you’re the first one beside my mom who believes in me so much.”

Zhang Tian spoke so calmly, so calmly that Jiang Cheng took a long time to react to what he had said.

Jiang Cheng looked at Zhang Tian’s handsome side profile, for the first time thinking that this person was not as strong as he appeared on the surface.

”Actually, when you said to let me help you find your father, you weren’t serious, were you?” Jiang Cheng said. He thought Zhang Tian could do it himself.

”I was serious.” Zhang Tian simply said.

Zhang Tian didn’t speak again for a long time, and Jiang Cheng realized that whenever the topic touched on Zhang Tian’s father, he became very silent, as if he was unwilling to say more.

”We’ve arrived, let’s go,” Zhang Tian said to Jiang Cheng.

Jiang Cheng saw Zhang Tian park the car in front of a tall building and realized it was the prosecutor’s office. Jiang Cheng initially thought there wasn’t one here. It seemed that the prosecutor’s office in Li Country was specifically for assisting in investigations.

”Here, an event like my civil issue won’t lead to an immediate arrest. They’ll give me a few days to find evidence and prove my innocence,” Zhang Tian explained to Jiang Cheng.

”Oh, so that’s how it is,” Jiang Cheng said.

Jiang Cheng then followed Zhang Tian into the prosecutor’s office in front of them. He saw that the people working there were also wearing uniforms and busy.

Zhang Tian glanced at the signage in front and went straight up to the second floor, with Jiang Cheng following behind.

Zhang Tian arrived at the forensic department, pushed the door open and entered. ”Here, take this and check it.” Jiang Cheng always felt suspicious after Zhang Tian went straight to the forensic department. He had clearly seen the evidence examination department, but Zhang Tian came here which shouldn’t be the evidence examination place for the case.

Jiang Cheng saw that seated in front of him was a man. At first glance, the young man looked very striking because he was extremely pale. Jiang Cheng could even see the veins in his neck, and upon closer look, the young man wore black-rimmed glasses, which didn’t look plain on his face because he was very good-looking. The young man didn’t glance at Jiang Cheng, merely took the item Zhang Tian handed him.

”Did you break it?” The young man’s pleasant voice sounded.

”Zhang Tian just responded with a sound, not explaining anything else.

Jiang Cheng saw some equipment on the research table that he had seen before, but there were one or two pieces he hadn’t seen. He watched as the young man looked at his hand for just half a minute, using a device Jiang Cheng hadn’t seen before.

Jiang Cheng was intrigued by the machinery ahead, writing in his heart about such unprecedented sights.

”It’s a piece of meteorite.” Zhang Tian noticed Jiang Cheng’s consistent calmness and saw him suddenly become interested, realizing Jiang Cheng was curious about the machine in front of him.

”How could this planet have a whole collection of meteoric stones?” The young man curiously looked at the piece in his hand and handed a report to Zhang Tian. ”Even if this matter is found out, can you prove it was someone with intent that brought it here?”

”I’ll deal with that later. I’ll take this,” Zhang Tian said as he took the report in his hand.

The young man said nothing but smiled and sat back down.

”Your friend?” Jiang Cheng asked. He never expected the reserved Zhang Tian to have such a friend.

”Why? Can’t I have a friend?” Zhang Tian asked with a rare smile.

Jiang Cheng had never seen Zhang Tian this relaxed, usually he was serious. It seemed he could really trust this friend.

Suddenly Jiang Cheng remembered that Zhao and the others were at their temporary residence downstairs, so he called Zhao to find Xiaoyu’s address and took a cab over.

After arriving, Jiang Cheng saw the neighborhood in front of him, which although not as luxurious as Zhang Tian’s, was clearly still an upscale neighborhood, very clean. He reached the door and was not stopped, just told the security his name and was let in.

Jiang Cheng reached Xiaoyu’s address and saw it was a duplex apartment. Indeed, for someone like Xiaoyu, although very young, she was also an excellent lawyer and probably had a good income. Having such a living condition made sense.

Jiang Cheng knocked on the door and went in, seeing the decoration here was very girlish, with pink wallpaper, carpet, it all felt very whimsical.

”Jiang,” Zhao Shuai mumbled. He was holding a big tub of ice cream, busy stuffing it into his mouth.

Only then did Jiang Cheng notice Qi Rongfeng, Cloud, and Xiaoyu sitting on the sofa, all holding ice cream. Jiang Cheng saw the table full of snacks, looking like they were quite at ease.

”Come join us, Brother Jiang,” Xiaoyu enthusiastically invited Jiang Cheng.

”Do you live here alone?” Jiang Cheng asked.

”Yeah, luckily you’re all here to keep me company now, or I’d be bored to death every day,” Xiaoyu said, half lying on the sofa.

”Jiang, is everything going smoothly?” Qi Rongfeng, although eating happily, hadn’t forgotten the main issue.

”It’s going smoothly enough,” Jiang Cheng said.

”These things can be quite troublesome,” Cloud said. ”But, Brother Jiang, let’s live here from now on.”

”What? Here? That’s not appropriate,” Jiang Cheng felt they should not disturb a girl’s independent living situation.

”No, it’s not like that, it’s next door. It’s also Xiaoyu’s place. We could rent it temporarily,” Cloud said.

”I think here is also nice,” Zhao Shuai agreed.

Qi Rongfeng seemed to have no objection either, and Jiang Cheng felt that it didn’t matter where they lived since for now, they couldn’t buy a house in their own name anyway.

That house was decorated according to my mom’s taste, you guys can see around later, you might like it,” Xiaoyu said with a full smile at the mention of her mom.

”Your mom? Where’s your mom?” Cloud had gotten quite familiar with Xiaoyu now.

Hearing this question, Xiaoyu first lowered her head, her eyes suddenly lost the sparkle. ”My mom has already passed away.”

”Oh? I didn’t know, I’m sorry, Xiaoyu,” Cloud quickly apologized, at a loss as to what to do.

Suddenly those present didn’t know what to do for a moment, and the atmosphere stiffened.

”It’s okay, it’s okay, it’s all in the past,” Xiaoyu said with a smile. Her eyes still red.

”Let’s go, I’ll show you around that house,” Xiaoyu said.

Jiang and the others followed Xiaoyu to take a look. The house in front of them was even larger than Xiaoyu’s. It had a black and white tone overall, appearing somewhat luxurious and grand. Very tasteful.

However, it seemed no one had lived there for a long time, inside it lacked any living supplies, looking vacant.
