Looking at Xu Moqian showing off his physique, a vague image suddenly flashed through Qiao Jing’s mind.
It seed like, once upon a ti, soone had also shown off their physique in front of her like this.
But the figure in her mind was unclear, and no matter how hard she tried, she just couldn’t recall who that person was...
After provoking the two Lu brothers, Xu Moqian turned back to find Qiao Jing staring blankly into space.
He approached her, sowhat puzzled, and asked, "What’s wrong?"
Hearing Xu Moqian’s voice brought Qiao Jing back to reality, and she said in a detached tone, "I seed to have rembered sothing just now."
As soon as she said this, everyone present turned their gaze toward her.
Lu Zijin imdiately asked, "What did you rember?"
Qiao Jing frowned slightly, a hint of confusion in her eyes, "They are very vague images. When I try to think about them closely, I can’t recall anything."
Seeing her troubled expression, Xu Moqian waved his hand and said, "If you really can’t rember, don’t force it. It might just give you a headache. Let’s just go swimming and relax a bit!"
"Okay." Qiao Jing replied, turning around to change her clothes.
At this ti, three little kids were also bouncing their way to the poolside.
Zhan Qipei, dressed in a suit, followed behind the three kids.
Zhan Qiaomo turned back, looked at his father, tilted his head, and asked, "Daddy, aren’t you going to swim with us?"
Looking at his son, Zhan Qipei’s icy face softened a bit, his thin lips parted slightly, "You all go ahead, Daddy won’t swim."
He didn’t really want to co, it was because the three children wanted to.
Although the three of them learned to swim early and swam very well, they were still young, and he couldn’t help but worry, so he ca along.
In such a lively setting, Zhan Nanjing was naturally present as well.
After coming over, Zhan Nanjing first scanned the area. Not seeing the person she was looking for, she voiced her confusion, "Where is Xiao Jing? I can’t see her. Where did she go?"
Next to her, Song Jiaqi responded, "Sister Jing Yun went to change into her swimsuit, she should be out soon."
No sooner had she finished speaking, than Qiao Jing appeared in her swimsuit.
She was wearing a black one-piece swimsuit, which accentuated her already fair skin, making it appear as white as snow, and revealed her well-proportioned figure.
Such a perfect figure, that’s what it was!
For a mont, Lu Zijin, Xu Moqian, everyone present, and even Zhan Qipei couldn’t help but look at her.
In their eyes, there was more or less a trace of amazent.
Only Zhan Qipei glanced at her once before withdrawing his gaze, his deep black eyes were calm, not showing any emotion.
Zhan Nanjing excitedly ran over, grabbed Qiao Jing, looked her up and down, and couldn’t help but exclaim, "Wow! Xiao Jing, your figure is amazing! Not just n, even I, a woman, am attracted to you!"
Xu Moqian continuously nodded beside her, deeply agreeing with the statent, and couldn’t help but give a thumbs-up, admiringly saying, "Incredible! This is right up there with my Sister Jing!"
Hearing this, Zhan Qipei’s face turned cold, imdiately casting a sharp, dagger-like glare over.
Zhan Nanjing also glared at Xu Moqian, asking in a huff, "What do you an? Have you also seen my sister-in-law like this?!"
"What’s so strange about that? Before you knew Sister Jing, we went to the beach together, and back then, Sister Jing..."
Xu Moqian was in the middle of speaking when he suddenly felt a chill at his back, a wave of inexplicable coldness ca over him like a piercing frost.
He slowly turned his head and found Zhan Qipei staring at him with a cold, fierce gaze.
"Do you really have to? Even you’re this old-fashioned and conservative?"
Xu Moqian rolled his eyes in exasperation, speaking righteously, "Moreover, back then at the beach, I wasn’t the only one there; so many people saw it, you can go find each one of them and glare at them if you dare!"
While they argued, Qiao Jing had already made her way to the edge of the pool on her own.
However, the mont her feet touched the water, getting ready to dive, a sudden wave of fear surged in her heart.
She reflexively withdrew her feet from the water.
At the sa ti, images of waves roaring and violently engulfing flashed through her mind.
Qiao Jing took a deep breath to steady herself, thinking that perhaps this fear stemd from the psychological shadow left by being pushed into the sea by a jerk.
But she wasn’t going to let so psychological shadow frighten her!
The more it was like this, the more she had to face it head-on!
The next mont, Qiao Jing jumped into the swimming pool with a splash.
As her body subrged and was enveloped by the water, scattered, blurry fragnts flashed through her mind again.
The fragnts pieced together seed to show her falling into the sea, struggling to swim for survival, desperately swimming, but gradually, she started feeling suffocated, as if drowning...
Accompanying these fragnts, faint sounds of dialogue echoed in Qiao Jing’s ears.
"This girl is truly beautiful, she’s an absolute gem!"
"Don’t touch!"
"Why not? I’ve never seen such a beautiful girl before."
"A gem like this, if sold, would definitely fetch a high price!"
"..."
When she erged from the pool and returned to her room, Qiao Jing leaned against the bed, eyes slightly closed, lost in thought.
If the fragnts and dialogue she rembered just now were experiences from when she fell into the water years ago.
Does it an that after falling into the water, she encountered so malicious people?
Then how did she end up unconscious on that beach in Nandu later?
Qiao Jing tried to rember more, but apart from those fragnts, she couldn’t recall anything else for the mont.
At a loss, Qiao Jing decided to give up for now and get a good night’s sleep first.
...
After three days at sea, the cruise ship finally docked, and Qiao Jing and her group successfully arrived at Zhao City, as ntioned by Song Jiaqi.
Zhao City is an ancient city with a long history.
The mont one sets foot in Zhao City, a strong sense of history greets them, with all the houses in view being uniformly ancient-styled buildings, giving the illusion of traveling back thousands of years.
Upon entering Zhao City, Zhan Qipei imdiately instructed his accompanying subordinates to start investigating families with the surna of Ming.
Walking along the road, they passed by a dical clinic. Song Jiaqi pulled Qiao Jing to a stop.
She pointed to the clinic and asked, "Sister Jing Yun, do you recognize this place? This is where we used to compete in dical skills."
Qiao Jing stood at the door, silently observing the dical clinic before her.
After a mont, she shook her head, "I have no impression."
Song Jiaqi thought for a while, hooked her arm in Qiao Jing’s, and said, "It doesn’t matter, let take you to find my grandpa. My grandpa probably knows more about these things than I do."
Hearing this, Qiao Jing beca a bit puzzled, "How so?"
Song Jiaqi explained, "You used to always be whispering with my grandpa alone, and I have no idea what you were talking about. Moreover, I always felt like my grandpa was hiding sothing related to you. Every ti I asked him, he refused to tell ."
