Chapter 257: Assistant An (2)
Translator: Sissy That Walk
Di Qiuhe bumped into the bodyguards who went downstairs to check on the vehicles for the award ceremony when he pushed open the living room door, the bodyguards reported in a serious manner, “There was a detectaphone installed in the main vehicles, and we found a camera and GPS positioner in your private car, Master Di. They must be freshly installed, they weren’t there when we ran our routine check in the morning.”
Detectaphone, camera, GPS positioner… …
Wang Boyi finally exploded and he stared at Assistant An who was slumping down in the chair, his voice was shaking when he asked, “What have you done? Are you completely out of your mind, who are you working for?”
Hearing that, An Xixi said nothing, she just lowered her head deeper and wept.
“Why aren’t you explaining? Why not? Please talk to me.”
This was the first time that Di Qiuhe had seen Wang Boyi went furious, he didn’t have the heart to watch this, he slightly frowned and patted Wang Boyi on his shoulder, “Assistant Wang, you must be very tired, why don’t you take a short break now?”
Wang Boyi took a deep breath and looked at Di Qiuhe, “Master Di, I’m… I’m…”
“That’s okay, I know what you want to say. Zhou Li, keep Assistant Wang company.” Di Qiuhe comforted him and walked to An Xixi.
Wang Boyi noticed how uneasy An Xixi got when she saw Di Qiuhe was walking to her, he clenched his fists tighter and Zhou Li patted him on the shoulder, signaling him to leave the room.
Di Qiuhe sat across An Xixi and asked calmly, “Tell me why.”
An Xixi raised her head and took one look at Di Qiuhe, soon she lowered her head and didn’t say anything.
“Qiu Li asked you to do this for her, right?”
An Xixi bit her lips, but she still didn’t say anything.
Di Qiuhe tapped the table casually, he continued, “I trust your loyalty since I talked to you about Di Bian, I appreciate it that you once betrayed Qin Li and her family due to Assistant Wang, but now you have betrayed me, I’d like to assume it’s also due to Assistant Wang, is that right?”
“It has nothing to do with him!” An Xixi chimed in, she raised her head and looked at Di Qiuhe in the eye, “Boyi has been nothing but loyal to you ever since you have talked with him about Di Bian, never has he done anything that might hurt you. It’s all me this time, I installed the detectaphone, camera and GPS positioner, it’s all me, he has nothing to do with it.”
Di Qiuhe looked her up and down, suddenly he changed the subject, “Why did you take my phone with you?”
“I… …”, An Xixi halted in the middle of a sentence like she suddenly realized something and she had to stop.
“Let me guess… … to hack my phone? To find out the whereabouts of Zeng Peizhong’s daughter?” Di Qiuhe ignored An Xixi’s silence and continued, “Tonight’s ceremony is of great importance to me and my team, surely everyone would be in a hurry-scurry, people wouldn’t think otherwise even though you spilled a drink on me and accidentally took away my phone.”
An Xixi bit her lips and looked away.
“You put a GPS positioner in my private car as well, hmm, looks like someone wants to know my whereabouts accurately.” Di Qiuhe halted, looking her up and down, and continued, “You ran into Bai last time near the supermarket and you hid behind a billboard, I suppose you were on you way to see that ‘someone’, yeah? Shaofeng, tell me has Qin Li left her house these days?”
Xing Shaofeng, who was standing aside and watched this show checked his memo and replied, “Yep, three times in total. One time she went grocery shopping, the second time she went to the hospital for some meds, the last time she went to a restaurant.”
Di Qiuhe resumed tapping on the table and squinted, “Hmm, Qin Li has always been careful not to eat out… … which day was that?”
“Two days ago.”
“Just the day when Bai went to the mountains.” nodded Di Qiuhe, “Who has been in touch with her?”
Xing Shaofeng continued to check on his memo, “She has two sim cards, one she uses regularly to call people, like food delivery and other people, she use the other one to call her old subordinates.”
“Is An Xixi’s father one of them?”
“No.”
“Don’t look for this sim card, look for the other one she uses to call general people. And also, let’s run through Assistant An’s calls, ask Assistant Wang to help us, he knows Assistant An well, he will know which calls are suspicious.”
“Yes, consider it done.”
“Please don’t!” screamed An Xixi, she shook her head and gave way to a storm of weeping, “Please don’t ask him to look at my recent calls, please… …”
Di Qiuhe signaled Xing Shaofeng to stop and he looked at her, “Why are you so against the idea of Assistant Wang checking your recent calls?”
An Xixi covered her face and cried out loudly.
“What are you afraid of?” Di Qiuhe’s voice turned deep, “What is Qin Li threatening you with?”
“I’m pregnant!” An Xixi stepped back and slumped into the chair, “I’m pregnant… … I cannot let Boyi to see those photos in Qin Li’ hands, no! It took him a long time to accept me in the beginning, no way I can let Boyi to see those photos. He will… he will abandon me!”
‘Photos?”
Di Qiuhe and Xing Shaofeng exchanged a look, they thought the “photos” that An Xixi was talking about might not be something she would feel comfortable talking about.
