Chapter 1374 - Adulterer and Lover (1/2)

“Qiao Nan is from Ping Cheng and that’s why I am certain that she has no relations with He Yi. He Yi does not have any relatives in Ping Cheng. Qiao Nan doesn’t seem to be as simple as what we think. The people that are following her said that she stays in the quad in the military zone.”

Father Deng sounded somber at the mention of this. “In the capital, I know all the people who stayed in the quad in the military zone, but I can’t seem to remember there is someone by the name of Qiao Nan.”

Since Qiao Nan stayed in the quad in the military zone, it was no wonder the people he hired took so long before they found out some information about Qiao Nan.

“The quad in the military zone?” Deng Wenchang’s eyelids kept twitching. It could not be. She was just a useless eye-candy who engaged in immoral deals to join the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. How was she able to live in the quad in the military zone?

Could there be a mistake?

“Dad, Ping Cheng sounds familiar. Apart from Qiao Nan, do you know of anyone else from Ping Cheng who is living in the quad in the military zone now?” Since they had no clues on Qiao Nan, they could change the target to people from her hometown.

Father Deng put out the cigarette in his hands. “Have you forgotten that the Peng family used to stay in Ping Cheng? They returned to the capital a few years ago. Apart from the Peng family, the most eye-catching people would be the Zhai family and the Zhu family. The two families were transferred to the capital from Ping Cheng in the past two years. Qiao Nan came to the capital to study first before they moved to the capital half a year later.”

Father Deng had thought about this possibility, but he felt that it was highly impossible.

Zhu Chengqi from the Zhu family was devoted to his wife who had pa.s.sed away. Usually, the wife had to observe widowhood after her husband pa.s.sed away. This was why there was the custom of erecting a memorial arch in honor of a chaste widow.

However, it was the 21st century now. It was no longer popular for women to observe widowhood for her husband who had pa.s.sed away. After the daughter from the Lee family pa.s.sed away, Zhu Chengqi, who was still in his prime, remained single for more than twenty years. He led his life with his father and the child that he had with his late wife.

If it was him, Father Deng would not be able to live a simple and chaste life like him.

Although he did not go overboard, Father Deng still had his fair share of women apart from his wife. He was cautious and careful and did not develop a long-term relations.h.i.+p with any of the women. They would usually end the relations.h.i.+p swiftly and there were no strings attached.

It was odd that Zhu Chengqi was able to stay true to his late wife despite the fact that he was in his prime. Father Deng even suspected that he might have hurt himself in the army and became impotent.

“The Zhai family and the Zhu family?” Deng Wenchang had heard of the two families. “Zhu Chengqi only has one son, Zhu Baoguo. While the Zhai family has a son and a daughter, the daughter from the Zhai family is older than Qiao Nan by a few years old. Qiao Nan should not have any relations.h.i.+p with the Zhai family. Then, where does Qiao Nan fit in the picture and why can she stay in the quad in the military zone?”

Deng Wenchang grew to hate Qiao Nan even more.

Deng Wenchang wanted to stay in the quad in the military zone, but he was denied a chance. However, Qiao Nan managed to do it.
