Chapter 72 They actually live in the same courtyard as him.
After seeing Jiang Ming and Zhao Xiaoya leave their home on the surveillance footage, Song Qiao thought to herself: They must have gone to the "Moon Palace".
While Song Qiao was waiting for Lu Mingxuan to reply to her message, he called her.
Song Qiao listened carefully, and when she heard no sound from Wang Hongmei's room next door, she answered the call: "Hello!"
"Song Qiao, are you still at Wang Hongmei's house? I thought you had gone home. I didn't dare to call you."
"I'm at Xiaomei's house. Are you sure Zhao Xiaoya lives in the Moon Palace?"
“I had someone investigate, and Zhao Xiaoya has been living there for three years.”
Upon hearing that Zhao Xiaoya had moved to the Moon Palace three years ago, Song Qiao was furious.
"We still haven't gotten any evidence that Jiang Ming and Zhao Xiaoya slept together. I want to go to the Moon Palace right now. Can you come with me?"
Song Qiao was worried about Lu Mingxuan going alone, so she said on the phone, "Okay! You wait here, I'll drive to pick you up, and I'll call you when I get there."
Song Qiao couldn't drive her own car either. When she heard that Lu Mingxuan was coming to pick her up, she quickly got dressed and prepared for Lu Mingxuan's arrival.
A while later, Song Qiao's phone rang. Seeing that it was Lu Mingxuan calling, she answered and asked softly, "Are you here?"
"I'm here, you can come downstairs now."
Song Qiao glanced at the time on her phone; it was exactly ten o'clock.
She pushed open the door and listened; Wang Hongmei was already asleep. She quietly opened the door, closed it, and went out.
When they got downstairs, Song Qiao saw Lu Mingxuan standing by the car in the cool moonlight and quickly went over to him.
"Qiaoqiao! Are you cold?"
Song Qiao shook her head, opened the car door and got in, and Lu Mingxuan also got into the driver's seat.
Inside the car, Song Qiao glanced at Lu Mingxuan and said, "It's so late, I'm sorry to have kept you from resting."
"It's okay, as long as you divorce Jiang Ming quickly and marry me."
Lu Mingxuan spoke in a joking tone, sensing that this would put less pressure on Song Qiao.
When Song Qiao didn't react, he looked at her and, in the light of the apartment building, stared at her face in disbelief: "What happened to your face?"
Lu Mingxuan realized that Song Qiao had gone home tonight and hurriedly asked, "Was it Jiang Ming who called?"
Knowing she couldn't hide it from Lu Mingxuan, Song Qiao had no choice but to tell the truth: "In the afternoon, Jiang Ming called me and said that Jiang Xiaoran had a cold and fever, and asked me to go home and check on her."
Lu Mingxuan looked at Song Qiao and involuntarily raised his hand to touch her wound. He stopped just before his hand touched it, looking at her with heartache: "That beast, never believe a word he says again!"
“My purpose in going back was not for Jiang Xiaoran. It was because after Jiang Ming found the surveillance footage last time, I knew nothing about the situation at home. I was very anxious because I didn’t have any evidence of his infidelity. I wanted to take this opportunity to put the surveillance footage back on. I didn’t expect that when I got home, Jiang Ming and his mother were waiting at home. Jiang Xiaoran was not sick at all. They set a trap to lock me in the house and prevent me from going out.”
“He even forced me to call my dad and told me not to go to the company. When I tried to run away, he hit me.”
After Song Qiao finished speaking, Lu Mingxuan looked at her with a serious expression: "Does it hurt?"
Tears welled up in Song Qiao's eyes, but she still shook her head: "It doesn't hurt!"
"No wonder it hurts! There are bruises in several places. After we get back from the Moon Palace, you'll come with me to the hospital and I'll take care of it for you."
Song Qiao looked at him: "Later, Wang Hongmei and her cousin rescued me. I didn't tell her I was out this time. She'll be worried if she finds out I'm missing when I go to the hospital!"
"It's okay! I'll bring you back after everything is taken care of."
After saying this, Lu Mingxuan turned the car key, and the car drove out of the residential area.
Wang Hongmei also lives in an old neighborhood. The Moon Palace is located in the east of the city, eight kilometers away from the neighborhood. After driving out of the neighborhood, Song Xiao noticed that there were far fewer cars at night.
"Mingxuan, Jiang Ming has installed surveillance cameras in my office and car!"
Song Qiao thought she should tell Lu Mingxuan about this.
Lu Mingxuan's gaze fell on her face: "I'll help you look for it tomorrow!"
"No need to look for it, just put it inside. I want Jiang Ming to see nothing he should see, and see everything he shouldn't see."
Is this safe?
"It's okay! It's possible that he also installed surveillance cameras in my dad's office. The audit team has been auditing for the past few days, so he's probably worried about finding something."
The car drove smoothly through the night streets. As he drove, Lu Mingxuan asked, "Does the audit team know if he installed surveillance cameras?"
Song Qiao thought for a moment and said, "Tomorrow I'll have Wang Lianhe find someone to take a look. He's been given the task of overseeing this audit, and he's been quite loyal to my father."
"Okay! I've also told Xiao He and the others that the audit findings must be kept confidential and they must not talk about them."
Song Qiao also sensed that these people were all very professional and tight-lipped.
"Song Qiao, the Moon Palace is just ahead!"
This was Song Qiao's first time visiting this place. She had only heard Song Jianguo say that each of the villas in this courtyard cost over a million to build, including the rooms which were fully furnished. After completion, they were sold for around eight to ten million.
"Okay! Let's get off the bus then."
"No need to get out of the car, just drive straight in."
Just as Song Qiao was thinking about how to get into the community, Lu Mingxuan took out his Bluetooth device, opened the gate, and walked in.
How do you have the access key to this residential complex?
Lu Mingxuan looked at Song Qiao: "To be honest, my family has a house here, but we've never lived here!"
Song Qiao's gaze fell on Lu Mingxuan. She should have realized that Lu Mingxuan's father was the hospital director, and he could afford any kind of house.
"So, your house is in the same neighborhood as Zhao Xiaoya's?"
After the car entered the residential area, Zhao Xiaoya realized why this community sold for ten million. Under the night lights, there were two-story villas with yards. It was really difficult for Jiang Ming to still be able to go back to her old 70-square-meter house and stay there for a few days a month.
At this moment, the entire community was as quiet as if it were asleep. Song Qiao had seen the schematic diagram of this community before, and today she found that the greenery here was even more beautiful than in the schematic diagram.
The flowerbeds, with their green foliage, glowed a vibrant green under the lights, as if they had been waxed. The kapok trees, wrapped in winter protection, resembled shy young girls afraid of the cold.
"Take a close look, is Jiang Ming's car here?"
Today, when Lu Mingxuan learned that Zhao Xiaoya lived in this community, he felt like he had searched high and low without finding her.
Song Qiao opened her eyes wide and looked around for Jiang Ming's car, but she couldn't find it even after looking at several villas.
"There's also an underground parking garage here; maybe he put it there."
Lu Mingxuan noticed Song Qiao looking around at each villa with her big eyes and reminded her again.
"Then how do we know which one belongs to Zhao Xiaoya?"
"The investigators said she seems to be from villa number 2 in building 23."
After saying this, Lu Mingxuan slowed down and said, "How about this, park the car in front of our house and we'll walk over!"
Song Qiao suddenly looked at Lu Mingxuan and asked, "What building and number is your house?"
"My home is number 6 in building 11!"
Lu Mingxuan counted the houses behind his house and suddenly said, "I know! Just drive there."
