Chapter 4005: Chapter 4005: Looking for Someone at Your Place

Ye Wangchuan was reckless in his youth, never caring about others’ opinions of him, but when it came to Qiao Nian, he always wanted to do it flawlessly.

For example, the sense of ceremony that everyone else has.

His Nian Nian must have it too!

**

The February wind was like scissors.

In this weather that’s warm one moment and cold the next, the ports in the illegal zone were bustling.

Various goods were being transported in tons by workers onto the ferry.

The illegal zone, surrounded by the sea on all sides, resembled an isolated island lost to the world. Its marine products were rich and diverse, so besides the occasional unspecified ’goods’ that the big bosses brought for transit, most ordinary people in the illegal zone were engaged in businesses related to marine products.

During the season of abundant marine harvest, the docks were always extremely busy.

The environment woven with human traffic was tremendously chaotic, making it the most suitable place to hide.

This time, Qiao Nian didn’t give Di Xicheng a chance to breathe.

As soon as she got the address Lu Zhi provided, she sent people to catch him. Di Xicheng himself was indeed as slippery as an eel.

By the time Qiao Nian’s people arrived at the hotel he was secretly staying in, the front desk told the people sent by Tattoo Arm that the guest had already checked out three days ago.

Qiao Nian calculated the time and found out that it was the same day Nie Qingru hurried out of the illegal zone.

In other words, upon learning that Nie Qingru had left in a hurry, Di Xicheng immediately chose to check out and flee, showing incredible reflexes.

However, Qiao Nian herself was no pushover.

Previously, she hadn’t been able to locate him because Lu Zhi had helped to cover him up. Now that Lu Zhi was no longer involved and Qiao Nian knew he had stayed at this hotel,

she followed the surveillance footage and quickly locked onto the target.

...

The wind at the dock was bleak.

The workers were sweating profusely, taking off their jackets as most were wearing just white vests, running back and forth, transporting the goods to be shipped today.

It wasn’t until several roaring jeeps lined up outside their dock that the busy workers took a moment to glance over.

The people in the jeep got out.

A pair of leather boots with straps came into view, and looking up, the girl’s legs were long and straight under her jeans, her upper body clad in a shirt, and the cap she wore was pulled down so low that from a distance, only her snow-white chin with its smooth lines could be seen.

Qiao Nian’s distinctive presence made her the focal point wherever she went.

So it was no surprise she caught all the eyes again this time—she was used to the appraising looks from all directions.

The dock manager, having received the news, jogged over to find her, rubbing his hands and inwardly muttering with a forced smile: "Zhui Guang, what brings you here on such a windy day?"

A few days ago, news had spread widely about the fallout between Tian Chen and the Red Alliance; at least those in the illegal zone had heard some rumors.

With two big figures clashing, the dock manager feared that this storm would descend upon him, an unlucky one, and that would be a death undeserved.

He was worried that Qiao Nian had come for Tian Chen’s goods, which would force him into this high-stakes conflict.

Fortunately, the girl showed no intention of involving innocent people, though she carried a kind of distant indifference that pushed people away, she was reasonable and unpretentious: "... I’m here to find someone."

The dock manager hurriedly asked her: "Zhui Guang, can you tell me the name? I’ll check the list on the warehouse computer right away."

The dock was always crowded, with at least a thousand people passing through each day.

He didn’t know everyone, so he had to check the registered information on the computer.

As long as the person Zhui Guang was looking for wasn’t related to Tian Chen, that would be fine.
