Chapter 924: Something Was Not Right

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio  Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Yu Hanxia was surprised. Why did Zhou Jing’an ask so carefully?

Yu Hanxia didn’t know how to cook. She and Yu Han’an rarely ate at home because of their work.

Occasionally, when the two of them were at home, they would order takeout.

There was an older lady at home who was only responsible for the cleaning.

Because the two of them didn’t often eat at home, when they employed the cleaning lady, the agreement was that she only needed to clean and didn’t need to cook.

Originally, the reason their parents let them live together was so that Yu Hanan could take care of Yu Hanxia.

But unexpectedly, the two of them ordered takeout together.

Yu Han’an didn’t know how to cook either.

It wasn’t that he didn’t know how to cook. Just like Yu Hanxia, he couldn’t eat what he cooked.

It was cooked, but it wasn’t like the society of old where there were famines and having unappetizing food was better than nothing.

One had to pay attention to the taste as well.

So neither brother nor sister cooked. Even though ordering takeout was not necessarily healthy, it was delicious.

As for breakfast, the two always slept until noon on weekends and holidays.

On weekdays, they would either use toast to deal with it.

Or they would go to the 711 convenience store at the entrance of the neighborhood to buy some sandwiches, rice balls, and the like, and make do with it.

Now that Zhou Jing’an asked, Yu Hanxia remembered.

She didn’t remember whether she had finished the toast at home.

Anyway, staying with Yu Han’an was a mess.

“Wait a moment, I’ll go check the fridge,” Yu Hanxia said.

“No rush.” Zhou Jing’an smiled. He wasn’t in a hurry to hang up anyway.

Because it was a video call, Yu Hanxia could only hold her phone and walk to the kitchen.

Yu Han’an happened to walk out of his room.

When he opened the door, he saw Yu Hanxia holding his phone.

It looked like she was taking a selfie.

Yu Han’an asked, “It’s so late at night. Are you taking a selfie at home?”

Since when did his sister like to do such disgusting things?

Yu Hanxia: “…”

“I’m talking to Zhou Jing’an about work,” Yu Hanxia turned to Yu Han’an and said.

He didn’t have any doubts about this.

He had indeed told Zhou Jing’an that Yu Hanxia would investigate the matter tomorrow.

So when he heard Yu Hanxia say this, he only replied with an “Oh.” and didn’t ask any more questions. He turned around and went to the kitchen, taking out a can of coke from the fridge.

Yu Hanxia: “…”

Drinking coke in the middle of the night was really too sinful.

Yu Han’an took the coke and left. Yu Hanxia opened the fridge again.

The fridge was empty. Other than beer, coke, and some fruits, there was nothing else to eat.

Yu Hanxia closed the fridge door and said to Zhou Jing’an, “Let’s find a restaurant on the way to eat at tomorrow morning.”

There was really nothing to eat in the fridge.

“Okay.” Zhou Jing’an nodded with a smile. “Then I’ll pick you up at 7:30 tomorrow. We’ll find a restaurant where we can get something.”

“Okay.” Yu Hanxia nodded and went back to the bedroom with her phone in hand.

This time, she didn’t bump into Yu Han’an again.

She went back to the bedroom and closed the door. She said, “Then you should go sleep soon. You have to wake up early tomorrow.”

“Okay, you too,” Zhou Jing’an said. “Good night.”

Yu Hanxia hung up the phone and got into the quilt.

She wore a fluffy pajama and wrapped herself in the quilt.

There was also a portable small water dispenser on the small table next to the bed. In the storage box next to the water dispenser, there were neatly packed tea bags.

Yu Hanxia casually took out a packet of osmanthus oolong tea, tore open the separate wrapping paper, and put the tea bags into the mug.

She took a cup of water from the water dispenser.

Then, she opened the curtain on the wall opposite the bed.

She pressed the remote control, and the curtain slowly descended from the ceiling.

She turned on the projector again and selected the movie she wanted to watch.

Then, she held the teacup in her hand and smelled the fragrance of the tea.

The faint smell of osmanthus and the smell of oolong tea.

It was fragrant and refreshing.

Yu Hanxia sighed comfortably and watched the movie quietly.

The next morning, Zhou Jing’an came to pick her up.

However, he didn’t go upstairs. Instead, he parked his car downstairs and then dialed Yu Hanxia’s WeChat voice message.

“You’re leaving so early?” Yu Han’an yawned. He hadn’t even brushed his teeth. He pressed the coffee machine first and made a cup of coffee.

Normally, he couldn’t get up so early. He only got up early because he still had work to do for the investigation.

However, he didn’t expect that while he was still yawning, Yu Hanxia had already packed up and was ready to go out in high spirits.

“Aren’t we going to investigate that bank account?” Yu Hanxia said with her shoes on. “I’m leaving early and I’m going to have my meal on the way.”

“Is there nothing at home?” Yu Han’an yawned and asked.

“No, I went to the fridge to check last night.” Yu Hanxia put on her shoes and got up.

“Alright, I’ll order takeout.” Yu Han’an held his phone and was about to order takeout when he asked again, “Why don’t you wait? I’ve ordered takeout from nearby. You can eat before you leave. It’s only a few hundred meters away anyway. They’ll be here soon.”

“No need. Zhou Jing’an is waiting for me downstairs.” Yu Hanxia opened the door.

Yu Han’an ran out. “Are you with Zhou Jing’an?”

“Yes, he said he would help me,” Yu Hanxia said.

Yu Han’an narrowed his eyes. Something was not right.

“Okay, you can go first. Work is more important.” If there was anything, Yu Hanxia would come back first.

Yu Hanxia did not know what Yu Han’an was thinking, so she carried her bag and left.

When she went down, she saw Zhou Jing’an’s car parked outside.

When he saw Yu Hanxia come out, Zhou Jing’an quickly came out as well.

It was only because it was warm in the car that he took off his coat in the car.

Right now, he was only wearing a sweater.

As soon as he came out, he was blown through by the cold wind.

Zhou Jing’an trembled.

Yu Hanxia strode over. “Why did you get out of the car without your coat? Quickly get in the car.”

After saying that, she had already skillfully opened the car door and sat in it. She then urged Zhou Jing’an, “Get in quickly.”

Zhou Jing’an felt that it must be because of that small video in his email inbox, so even his thoughts were not pure.

Although he didn’t watch it because of Yu Hanxia’s reminder.

He already knew about it after all.

Moreover, he had known Wei Keli since he was a child.

He had never expected that Wei Keli would play around so much.

Because he had thought too much, his thoughts were not very pure.

“Ahem.” Zhou Jing’an cleared his throat and returned to the car.

The heater in the car was not turned off.

As soon as he entered, he felt the warm wind blow on him and instantly felt comfortable.

Zhou Jing ‘an drove Yu Hanxia not far away and had breakfast at a nearby breakfast restaurant chain.

Then, he followed Yu Hanxia and started to go through branch by branch to investigate.

What surprised him was that Yu Hanxia actually did not directly contact the people at the bank.

Zhou Jing’an had thought that she would use her connections to get some information.

But it was not. They ended up checking the bank branch where the account was opened.
