Jin Haidong cald down and sat restlessly beside them, waiting for Tang Chuxia to analyze.
Then Tang Chuxia looked around and bought so ice pops from a child.
Each had one and savored it deliciously.
Looking at the smoky ashes, apart from Jin Beiyang the fake monk, no one else had much to think about.
"I actually slled a familiar scent of sandalwood!"
Suddenly, Jin Beiyang clapped his hands and said.
Tang Chuxia nodded.
It was, after all, an old temple, so it didn’t seem strange to sll sandalwood here.
But Jin Beiyang stated, "Although I’m not a genuine monk, the sandalwood I burn every day is authentic!"
Tang Chuxia didn’t know whether to praise him for that.
Was this really praise?
Seeing no reaction from them, Jin Beiyang even noticed a child throwing a potato into the still smoldering ashes.
He squatted down to watch.
"I wonder if it’s the doing of soone who follows the sa path?"
Jin Beiyang’s words were t with Tang Chuxia’s shake of her head.
"Uncle, that’s unlikely. I think their target was originally ant to be Jin Haidong!"
Compared to Jin Beiyang, Jin Haidong seed more likely to be killed.
After all, Jin Beiyang no longer had the potential to inherit the Jin Family, but as the new generation’s successor, Jin Haidong was definitely being grood by the Jin Family.
If sothing happened to Jin Haidong, it would definitely be troubleso for the Jin Family.
Jin Haidong imdiately said, "Sis, dear sister, you really have to protect your brother here!"
Tang Chuxia found his behavior embarrassing and pushed away his leaning head.
Jin Haidong tried to lean closer to Tang Chuxia again but was scared off by a glare from Gu Beihuai.
That man was not easy to deal with.
Tang Chuxia gave a dry laugh.
"Let’s go back, there aren’t any clues here!"
Tang Chuxia stood up, dusted off her hands though there was nothing on them, and prepared to leave, but suddenly she spotted sothing. She used a stick to scrape through the ashes and surprisingly found a small object.
Gu Beihuai leaned over and looked. It seed familiar.
"This looks like a plectrum?"
It was a kind of protective gear used on a guzheng.
Such items are rarely used nowadays, but that doesn’t an no one uses them.
Tang Chuxia pinched the object and didn’t think much of it; after all, it’s plausible for such an object to be in this old temple.
But Tang Chuxia didn’t pay it much attention, yet Tang Jianbing beside her squinted.
He felt sowhat familiar with this object.
A thought flashed through his mind.
When they got ho, Madam Tang was unexpectedly waiting for them.
Jin Beiyang and Jin Haidong didn’t co back with them; they needed to stop by the Jin Family.
As for Tang Jianbing, he went back to his own small factory to get busy.
Only Tang Chuxia and Gu Beihuai ca ho.
Upon arriving, they saw Madam Tang, and her expression wasn’t very good.
"What happened?"
Tang Chuxia asked curiously, holding her mother’s arm.
Madam Tang said, "Wanqiu has left!"
Tang Chuxia was surprised.
Recently, Tang Wanqiu had been acting like the dutiful daughter in front of Madam Tang; why would she leave?
"Where did she go?"
Tang Chuxia thought Tang Wanqiu was just leaving for a while, but Madam Tang said, "She’s leaving for good. She said no one in this family welcos her, so it’s better she leaves!"
Tang Chuxia: ...
It seems Tang Wanqiu was going to cause trouble.
"Mom, what are you thinking? Are you blaming for not being warm enough to her?"
After Tang Chuxia spoke, Madam Tang sighed, "That’s not what I ant. It was indeed my decision, and that child has a tough fate, or else she might never have had the chance to see us again!"
For Madam Tang, Tang Wanqiu was like a lost and found daughter, and such complex emotions were totally justifiable.
Although Tang Chuxia knew Tang Wanqiu was indeed her biological older sister, she really couldn’t feel close to her.
It wasn’t because they were both girls, but because there might be other issues between her and Tang Wanqiu.
She hadn’t forgotten that she possessed sothing Tang Wanqiu wanted.
Madam Tang was still distressed, and Tang Chuxia just listened, hardly joining in the conversation.
Eventually, Madam Tang noticed Tang Chuxia’s absent-mindedness and could only let her leave first.
Tang Chuxia went straight to Father Tang.
Compared to Madam Tang’s distress, Father Tang showed no signs of concern regarding Tang Wanqiu’s departure.
He told Tang Chuxia, "Be careful, there’s sothing off about your sister!"
Tang Chuxia: ...
Though he said this, it didn’t an Father Tang ant well.
"Tell , what happened now?"
Tang Chuxia did not bring up Jin Beiyang with Father Tang, mainly because it wasn’t her turn to speak yet.
"Your Third Grandpa told , your Second Grandma might not make it much longer!"
Tang Chuxia was stunned.
Just a few days ago, she and Tang Jianbing had visited Second Grandma, and from what she saw then, Second Grandma definitely had no issues.
How much ti had passed? How could she not make it now?
Tang Chuxia was about to rush to Tang Village, but Father Tang stopped her, "Third Grandpa ant, Second Grandma might not pull through this ti!"
Tang Chuxia: ...
She suddenly thought of sothing, squinting her eyes at Father Tang.
"Dad, does our Tang family have so mysterious places?"
Father Tang sighed, "Of course, there are many mysterious places. If sothing happens to Second Grandma, who is currently the backbone of Tang Village, it will fall apart!"
Tang Chuxia had no doubts about this. She just felt it would be a pity if Second Grandma passed away just like that.
But Father Tang straightforwardly told her, "Birth, aging, sickness, and death are natural laws. Don’t intervene too much!"
It was about letting Second Grandma go.
Tang Chuxia was very unhappy.
She really liked Second Grandma.
Seeing that Tang Chuxia was definitely going to cause trouble, Father Tang bluntly said, "You should know, there are so many people watching you in secret. If you dare to ss up, the consequences are not sothing you can bear!"
Tang Chuxia felt like Father Tang was trying to scare soone.
"Dad, then tell the truth, what is really going on with Tang Wanqiu?"
Father Tang was a bit embarrassed, he attempted to change the subject, but Tang Chuxia stopped him.
She just stared straight at Father Tang.
This made Father Tang have no choice but to bite the bullet and say, "Fine, I also only found out recently. Wanqiu is apparently from Qingzhu Village, but I’m not sure who exactly is controlling her."
Tang Chuxia had long speculated this.
"Isn’t her target my blood or my special abilities?"
Father Tang couldn’t answer that question, but he told Tang Chuxia, "I always feel it’s not that simple. Over the years, I’ve been investigating secretly, but aside from the lead on Wen Wenqing, it’s tough to find out much from other sources!"
Hearing Father Tang’s words at this mont, Tang Chuxia found it unbelievable.
How could Father Tang say such things?
If it weren’t for Wen Wenqing, how could so many incidents happen?
"What if I gave her everything?"
