“What?!” Mu Yu straightened up instantly.
“Wu Xing found the urns of Qian Fenggen and his wife in Anxi Columbarium according to the address given by Tian Maocai. I’ve just confirmed with him through the phone that both his father-in-law and mother-in-law’s remains had been cremated five years ago when their graves were moved.”
“They were cremated?! Why did they have to move their graves back then?”
“The city was undergoing construction, and the couple’s cemetery was within the scope of the project.”
Mu Yu felt greatly disheartened by that. “Qian Xiaoyu didn’t mind spending all that money and effort to register a permanent residence under his name, yet she was unwilling to disinter her parents for a DNA test… And here I thought she was only doing all of that because he was a fake. Turns out there was no way he could get the DNA results at all! Ah, I guess I was just overthinking.”
“No, you might not be overt
When Qin Jinhuan arrived at the hospital, Qin Xiaozhi had already been rushed into the emergency room. Shortly after that, Mu Yu, Rong Jian, and Wen Zeyu, who had heard about what happened, arrived at the hospital one after another. “How is Grandpa?” they worriedly asked Qin Jinhuan since he had been the first one to arrive. Qin Chengxi, who had sent Qin Xiaozhi to the hospital with Lei Zhi and the others, sobbingly answered on Qin Jinhuan’s behalf, “Grandpa isn’t in good condition. He was still unconscious when he was rushed into the emergency room.”Wen Zeyu expressed his surprise and said, “It’s only been a few days since I last went back to visit Grandpa. How did his illness become so serious all of a sudden?”“Grandpa’s illness didn’t become so serious all of a sudden. In reality, Grandpa has been in poor health these days; he just didn’t allow us to talk about it,” Qin Chengxi explained before wiping her tears away.
“What happened?” questioned Qin Jinhuan.Chao Chenyu replied, “I nearly lost control of the situation at the property owners’ meeting today. Fortunately, Miss Yin stepped in and helped me just in time. Boss, I think Miss Yin has almost recovered, and the company is currently short of hands, so can’t you consider letting her come back to work?”Qin Jinhuan hesitated for a moment, but he didn’t agree to this suggestion. Nonetheless, the company really needed talents like Yin Anran right now. “We’ll talk about this later.”“But—”“The matter has been decided. I’m hanging up if there’s nothing else.”“Wait a minute! Please listen to me, Boss!” Chao Chenyu sounded somewhat anxious. “It was Miss Yin who chaired the property owners’ meeting this time. Now, the property owners that she has persuaded trust no one else but her. If you don’t let her come back to take charge of the work, I’m afraid we’ll be unable to contro
“What is it?” Qin Jinhuan raised his eyes with great interest.“As it turns out, Yi Yunzhe never left An City at all. His so-called going abroad to seek medical treatment back then was just a guise.” Weng Yun showed him a stack of documents. “In reality, he has been staying at a farmer’s home on the outskirts of West City to recuperate.”Qin Jinhuan took the documents and leafed through them with a sneer. “He’s quite patient.”“Half a year ago, Xiang Long Industry had a huge capital inflow. We haven’t found out the source of this capital for now, but Xiang Long Industry’s performance had risen sharply with astonishing momentum of development ever since it received the capital. I don’t think Drake Lu, who is mediocre and overcautious, could’ve pulled this off. I suspect that the capital belongs to Yi Yunzhe; Drake Lu secretly let him take the helm of the company after he invested the capital in Xiang Long Industry. While we were off our g
“Who’s looking for me?” Rong Jian asked as he got up.“An old lady. She specifically mentioned you by name.”“An old lady’s looking for me?!” Rong Jian had a look of doubt on his face. He twisted his head around to tell Liu Xiaofan that he was going over to take a look before he quickly exited the forensic lab.Once Rong Jian was gone, Liu Xiaofan and Fan Lifeng immediately became excited again. They grinned at Feng Rubing in unison and said, “We were just joking with you earlier, Mrs. Rong. Don’t take it to heart.” Feng Rubing had been initially looking in the direction that Rong Jian had left, and her forehead was screwed up in a tight frown. Upon hearing Liu Xiaofan and Fan Lifeng say that, she immediately withdrew her gaze. There was no hint of anger on her face, but her expression was very solemn. “Officer Liu, Officer Fan, there is nothing wrong with a little ribbing between coworkers, but please do not use ‘Mrs. Rong
When Mu Yu stepped into Rong Jian’s office, he was the only one there. She couldn’t stop herself from being surprised as she asked, “Has your mother left already?”“My mother?” Rong Jian was even more surprised than she was. “My mother came by earlier?”“Didn’t she?”“I don’t think so. She didn’t call me!”“The old woman who wanted to see you earlier wasn’t your mother?”Rong Jian was torn between laughing and crying. “Who told you that she was my mother?”Mu Yu was taken aback. “She’s not?! Then who—”“It was Qian Fenggen’s older sister, Qian Fengying.”“What?” That immediately piqued Mu Yu’s interest, and she instantly dropped the topic about his mother. “Why was Qian Fengying looking for you? Is it because she has a lead?”“Yes! She said that Qian Xiaoyu’s birth father is from Huacheng! Qian Fenggen adopted Qian Xiaoyu from Huacheng!”“Huacheng?
Jinhuan?Is that Yin Anran?All of a sudden, the sound of ringing bells thundered in Mu Yu’s ears. Didn’t he claim to be tending to Xinyue Estates’ matters? Why is he with Yin Anran?Given the noiselessness in the call, it was apparent that he wasn’t in public. Regardless, she could hear Yin Anran’s coy words in the background. What if…Immediately, her face turned pale as she subconsciously dropped her phone onto the bed.No, no, no… No way!There’s no way he’d do that! He’d never do this to me!This must be a misunderstanding! I’m sure of it!Stop overthinking… Calm down!Despite her countless self-comforting thoughts, her brain couldn’t stop feeding into her anxiety.He told me himself that he had fired Yin Anran and assured that he’d cut all ties with her. Why is he with her right now? Not only that, he’s even lying to me just to
“H-Huan…” When she heard noises around her, Qin Chengxi raised her head and saw her brother. Then, she hastily hid the hand that was placed on her ear.Qin Jinhuan caught sight of the cell phone she was trying to hide and asked, “Did you fight with Shang Qi?” “N-No, we’re fine,” Qin Chengxi replied with a panicked expression.“Then why are you crying?”“I-I’m not.” Realizing there were tears at the corner of her eyes, she quickly wiped them off with her sleeve before responding to Qin Jinhuan with a forced smile.“We saw you crying, though!” Mu Yu, who speedily followed after, came over and expressed her concern. “What happened? Come, don’t hold it in all by yourself.”“I-I…” After hesitating for a while, Qin Chengxi blurted as her eyes glistened, “I’m just worried about Grandpa.”“Really?” Mu Yu asked in disbelief.In response, Qin Chengxi awkwardly nodded her head. As sh
An anxious Mu Yu quickly gave Rong Jian a call to inquire about it.“So far, we haven’t gotten anything about Qian Xiaoyu’s biological parents, but we did find out where Qian Fenggen’s old home is, so we’re heading there to see if there are any clues about Qian Xiaoyu,” answered Rong Jian.“I see, and here I thought something big happened seeing how both you and Madam Feng rushed over there.” After finishing her sentence, Mu Yu heaved a sigh of relief.With an awkward guffaw, Rong Jian replied, “I’m rather slow when it comes to processing problems, so I could use some help. Not only that, Fan and the others already have their plates full. Since the forensic department had nothing much to do, I requested Director Gu to let Rubing come with me.”Even though Mu Yu had seen through his intentions, she did not expose him. Instead, she silently laughed at him before she continued to ask, “Are you thinking that Qian Fenggen fostere
