"There were also reports in Nanjiang City." Lu Xingzhi frowned. Nanjiang City was very close to Luo City City. If Nanjiang City had already reported the case, then it would not take more than two days for the Luo City newspaper to follow suit. Therefore, he must remember to instruct people not to deliver newspapers for the next few days.

"There is no new progress for the time being, but there are two additional conclusions about the murderer—an adult with a strong body, and they are left-handed. At least we have something to look for. In two days, we should be able to find more helpful information," Lu Xingzhi said. After all, not many people would fit those two criteria.

"Okay."

Even if it was only a bit of new information, it was better than nothing. Jiang Yao felt a lot better after hearing that. If there was information, it meant that the police were taking it seriously. Instead of being indifferent, they worked daily to find the murderer.

"When you're in Lanning, remember to eat on time. Rest early and don't stay up late. Lanning's air is dry, so you must remember to drink more water. You must remember to apply the sunscreen I bought for you. Don't come home with burned skin." Jiang Yao's last sentence was to tease Lu Xingzhi.

After Jiang Yao gave her advice, she reluctantly hung up the phone. She was pregnant, so she could not travel far even if she wanted to. If it were any other time, she would have been able to relax. At that time, she would have gone to Yuan City to keep an eye on him.

Her eyes and ears were different from ordinary people's, so if she could go to Yuan City, she might be able to help a little.

Mrs. Jiang and Mr. Jiang were both thinking about how to make Jiang Yao eat more every day. After Lu Xingzhi left, Jiang Yao's appetite was even worse than when Lu Xingzhi was around because of her mood.

If Lu Xingzhi did not leave, he could still coax Jiang Yao to eat a few more. Once Lu Xingzhi was not around, no one could persuade Jiang Yao anymore. "What is the point of your father and I raised you since you were young? It is no surprise that our forefathers thought girls would never listen to their families. Your father and I coax you to eat daily, but it is not as effective as a single word from your husband."

"You should eat more. Don't worry about things that shouldn't be your concern. You should worry less." Mrs. Jiang was so worried that her hair was about to fall out."

Jiang Yao stuck her tongue out at Mrs. Jiang and lowered her head to drink the soup. Perhaps it was because Mrs. Jiang had been cooking some sour food those few days, or maybe her morning sickness had gradually slowed down, she had not been throwing up after her meals. However, she still did not have much appetite.

However, most of the food did remain in her stomach, unlike before, when she would vomit with just one bite.

"It's not that at all; it's just that my husband spoiled me too much."

Jiang Yao's grimace amused Mr. Jiang. "You're about to become a mother, yet you still act like a child."

Whenever Mr. Jiang saw how Lu Xingzhi spoiled Jiang Yao, he felt that his son-in-law was right. However, whenever he knew that Lu Xingzhi would not be by Jiang Yao's side, he would feel sorry for his daughter for being separated from her husband.

As parents, they would always be biased toward their children and hope that their children would have the best.

Mr. Jiang had that kind of mentality.

After the meal, Jiang Yao was about to take a nap when she received a call from the lawyer of Changkang Group's legal department.

It was not a lie that Jiang Yao had told Li Hong a few days ago that she had handed everything over to Changkang's lawyer, who had arrived at Luo City the night after that.
