"Don’t try anything sneaky. Just leave."
"With Mr. Jiu here, how would I dare? If Mr. Jiu gives the chance, I’d still have to learn a bit more from him."
He smiled and went downstairs. Qin Miaomiao sat there with a dark expression on her face, a hint of unwillingness:
"Ninth Uncle, how can you be so sure it wasn’t him framing Lu Qing?"
"He’s a smart man. He wouldn’t do sothing that’s self-destructive."
"But he has the strongest motive."
"Fighting over family assets? Ha, his own fortune is considerable, and besides, smart people don’t resort to the stupidest thods for their goals. I had soone examine the victim’s wounds. The person who struck was a seasoned professional. Though the wounds appear chaotic on the surface, only an expert could leave marks like those."
"Then who could it be?"
Ou Beichen, who’d been standing silently all along, suddenly got agitated. Gritting his teeth, he spat:
"Ouyang Yan—it must be him! He’s back again!"
"Ouyang Yan?"
"Yes, who else could it be? He deliberately targeted my brother-in-law in such a way to throw us completely off balance. He’s been hiding all this ti, and now he’s finally showing himself."
When Qin Miaomiao heard Ou Beichen suspect Ouyang Yan, her mind began to spin. Could it really be him?
Quite likely. But if it truly was him pulling the strings, then this situation would beco a nightmare.
He was an extrely dangerous man.
"Ninth Uncle, where is Lu Qing?"
"A safe place."
"Are you saying Lu Qing has to continue hiding until Ouyang Yan is caught?"
Mr. Jiu nodded. "I’m afraid that’s the only option. Otherwise, if control slips out of our grasp, the consequences could be disastrous."
Qin Miaomiao stood there, her face pale as a sheet.
Ever since Lu Qing’s trouble began, her world had turned upside down—especially with a murder implicated. This wasn’t a simple case of foul play.
"Can I still not see him?"
"No."
"Then what should I do?"
"Wait."
"Wait for how long?"
"Until Ouyang Yan shows himself, and I’ve uncovered the truth behind the case."
Qin Miaomiao buried her face in her hands. After a long pause, she slowly raised her head:
"What if we use as bait to lure Ouyang Yan out?"
Ou Beichen was the first to object: "Absolutely not! He’s an extrely dangerous man! If you fall into his hands, it will be catastrophic."
Qin Miaomiao didn’t say a word. How could she not know how dangerous Ouyang Yan was?
But to stay hidden like this, to simply watch from the sidelines, unable even to see Lu Qing—it was sheer torture for her.
Mr. Jiu gently patted her shoulder:
"Little Jin’er, you must remain calm. Otherwise, you’ll harm more than help Lu Qing."
"I understand."
anwhile, the news about Lu Qing’s involvent in the murder case had already beco front-page headlines!
This was Lu Qing! His popularity online had always been sky-high. His wedding to Qin Miaomiao had catapulted him into the spotlight, making him the nation’s heartthrob.
Many still reveled in the mories of that legendary wedding and envied their love story trendously.
But now, such a horrifying murder case had erged!
Everyone was dumbfounded!
"I don’t believe it! Lord Lu could never kill soone! This must be a misunderstanding."
"It’s just a publicity stunt, isn’t it?"
"Who would use a murder case as a publicity stunt? Director Zhao’s death is real. I think it might actually be possible."
"That’s nonsense! Lu Qing is so wealthy. Why would he need to kill soone?"
"You never know. Director Zhao went way too far. Everyone has their limits. Anyone would be furious if they were cheated out of that much money."
"I still don’t buy it. No rational person would do sothing like this."
"I have a hunch there’s a mind-blowing conspiracy behind all of this."
