Chapter 1149: She Was the Mastermind

Ling’er pushed her back a little and raised her head to look at the man, waiting for his reply.

“I’ve asked someone to prepare some food. I’ll go get it.” Feng Jiuxiao said as he stood up and came to the table. There were different desserts and snacks on the table. They were all bought Ling’er’s favorites. He had selected some.

Ling’er’s gaze turned to the man. She did not know what Fu Tingyu wanted to say. He would not bring up this matter for no reason. Could it be that he was hiding something from her?

What could it be?

Ling’er shook her head, her looked at her stomach. Her hand touched her flat stomach. Thinking of her unborn child was growing in her body, her eyes filled with happiness.

What could it be?

Feng Jiuxiao picked up some desserts that would not fill up his stomach. He turned around and sat down by the bed. He passed a small spoon to her. “Have some desserts.”

“Mm.” Ling’er looked at the desserts in the man’s hands. She felt much happier when she saw the dessert. She took the little spoon and scooped a spoonful into her mouth. It was sweet, but not greasy.

At that moment, someone knocked on the door. Feng Jiuxiao turned his head to look at the door of the ward. After a while, he saw Jin Cheng walking in from outside. His footsteps were urgent.

“Brother Jiu, those three men are dead.” Fu Tingyu said as he walked up to Feng Jiuxiao.

Feng Jiuxiao looked calm when he heard that. There was a hidden anger between his brows. “Cause of death?”

Fu Tingyu replied, “Suicide. The three men had poison in their teeth. After they were captured, they took poison and committed suicide. These people were too ruthless. When they were captured, they didn’t have any reaction. They only took poison after they were locked up. They didn’t give anyone time to stop them.”

They didn’t expect the kidnappers to do such a thing.

Feng Jiuxiao said coldly, “Continue to investigate. Don’t let any of them go.”

Jin Cheng recalled the process when Qin Shu was looking for Ling’er, he said, “Oh right, Brother Jiu, Qin Shu should know some clues. She only walked around once and knew that Ling… Sister-in-law was kidnapped from there and transported away from there. She even knows that sister-in-law and Xiao Jiu have escaped. I’ll go ask her later if she has any clues to provide.”

Feng Jiuxiao paused when he heard that. If it was not for Qin Shu, they would not have found Ling’er and Xiao Jiu so quickly. He nodded and said, “Okay.”

“Then I’ll go out first.” Jin Cheng glanced at Ling’er and then at Brother Jiu. He did not know if Qin Shu had told him that she was not Qin Hai’s daughter.

After hesitating for a while, he turned around and left.

After Jin Cheng left, Ling’er asked, “Qin Shu is Xiao Jiu’s mommy and your disciple?”

“Yes.” Feng Jiuxiao looked at Ling’er. He didn’t know what would happen if she knew that Qin Shu was her daughter?

“I didn’t see her clearly the first two times I saw her, and I didn’t have the chance to talk to her. Xiao Jiu kept calling me grandma. He said that he wanted to protect grandma and said that Qin Shu is my daughter. Do you think that’s true?”

Ling’er looked at the man after she said that, as if she was asking for confirmation. Because Xiao Jiu was not the kind of child who would joke around.

Feng Jiuxiao was stunned and didn’t know how to answer for a moment. So, the atmosphere between the two of them became a little awkward.

Ling’er asked in puzzlement, “What’s wrong?”

Feng Jiuxiao’s eyes looked at Ling’er. was he going to continue to lie to her or tell the truth? He was a little hesitant. He looked at Ling’er looking at him with anticipation, which made him a little reluctant.

Finally, he nodded. “Mm.”

“I really have a daughter?” Ling’er did not know whether it was excitement or something else, but this surprise came a little unexpectedly.

“I really do have a daughter, and I even have a grandson. Xiao Jiu is really my grandson.”

Seeing Ling’er so happy, what Feng Jiuxiao had been worried about all this time suddenly did not seem to be particularly important.

Because Ling’er, who had lost her memory, rarely smiled. Especially now, when she was smiling so happily.

…

Qin Shu slept for the whole afternoon. When she woke up, she was still a little dizzy because she had not slept enough.

Ye Luo found out that Qin Shu had woken up, so he prepared dinner and placed them on the dining table one by one.

Then he carried a plate of fish and walked to the balcony at the side.

Boss followed behind Ye Luo eagerly.

After Qin Shu washed up, she sat down at the dining table. First, she picked up the cup on her right hand and drank the water. Then, she picked up the chopsticks and slowly ate the food in front of her.

Knock, knock…

There were a few knocks on the door. Ye Luo stood up and walked to the door. When he opened the door, he saw Jin Cheng standing at the door.

Jin Cheng asked politely, “Is Qin Shu awake? I have something to ask her.”

“Madam Qin is having her meal.” As Ye Luo spoke, he turned sideways to let Jin Cheng in.

Jin Cheng nodded at him and walked in. He saw Qin Shu at the dining table and walked straight over.

Ye Luo closed the door and turned around to go straight to the balcony.

Qin Shu looked up and saw Jin Cheng walking over and sitting down opposite her. She took a bite of her meal and waited for him to speak.

Jin Cheng came over after dinner. He looked at Qin Shu as if she had not slept enough. She had only slept for an entire afternoon and had yet to recover.

“Those three men are dead. I don’t know who the mastermind is,” Fu Tingyu said

“Situ Qianhui.” Qin Shu blurted out and continued eating the food in front of her.

Jin Cheng was stunned for a moment. He could not keep up with Qin Shu’s train of thought. He asked in confusion, “You know Situ Qianhui?”

Qin Shu could not help but roll her eyes. She patiently repeated, “I said the mastermind is Situ Qianhui.”

“What?” Jin Cheng almost thought he heard wrong. He asked again with uncertainty, “You said it was Qianhui? How is that possible? We grew up together. Although Qianhui is a little pampered, she won’t be so ruthless.”

Qin Shu sneered and asked in return, “Then who do you think it was?”

Jin Cheng Thought for a while and said, “I… I don’t know. I guess it was those people who were eyeing over Brother Jiu’s position. Other than them, I can’t think of anyone else.”

Qin Shu asked again, “If you guessed it was them, how could there be no clues at all? Besides, my mother has been in country of Feng Yi for more than half a year. Why did they only make a move now?”

For a moment, Jin Cheng could not retort at all. If it was Brother Jiu’s brothers, there would definitely be some clues. However, there was none of the clues.

He had also observed Brother Jiu’s brothers and found that there had been no movements recently. Brother Jiu’s visit to Ling’er this time had caused such a big commotion, but they did not have much reaction.

Qin Shu said, “At that time, Situ Qianhui was also at Camel Mountain and went to that guest room. If you don’t believe me, you can go and ask her.”

Jin Cheng was stunned. Seeing how confident Qin Shu was, he thought for a while and said, “I’ll ask her. I don’t believe that she would do such a stupid thing.”

After Jin Cheng said that, he stood up and walked out.

Qin Shu’s gaze turned cold as she continued eating the food in front of her.

After dinner, Qin Shu went to the ICU. Seeing that her son was still unconscious, she did not go in to disturb him.
