Chapter 1030: Chapter 1018: Plea to Stay
Upon receiving the questioning glances from Song Jiaqi and Ye Nanxing, Qiao Jing nodded and said assertively, “Ming Hailou is exactly the Grandpa Ming we are looking for.”
According to the neighbor lady, every point matches perfectly.
And that couplet was precisely what she had written when she visited Grandpa Ming back then!
This was a point she could confirm completely!
Suddenly, Song Jiaqi rembered sothing crucial and blinked, “Sister Jing Yun, the Grandpa Ming we are looking for has passed away, doesn’t that an we can’t ask anything now?”
Qiao Jing fell silent for a mont, feeling indescribably complicated.
She looked at the neighbor lady and asked another question, “Excuse , do you know where Grandpa Ming is buried?”
Regardless of the situation, Grandpa Ming was soone she used to know, as a junior, she should pay her respects.
The neighbor lady nodded, “I do, it’s in the largest cetery in Zhao City, the Longevity Cetery.”
Upon hearing this, Qiao Jing was slightly taken aback and thought back carefully.
If she rembered correctly, it was the sa cetery she accidentally entered a few days ago to avoid those thugs—Longevity Cetery!
After saying goodbye to the neighbor lady, Qiao Jing left the old house and headed to the cetery.
Of course, Song Jiaqi and Ye Nanxing followed along.
Once at the cetery, the three of them quickly found Ming Hailou’s tombstone.
After paying their respects, Song Jiaqi couldn’t help but sigh, “Sister Jing Yun, what should we do now?”
It wasn’t easy to find soone, and before they could even rejoice, they discovered he had passed away, leaving the trail completely cold!
Qiao Jing pondered for a mont before speaking, “It seems Grandpa Ming didn’t have relatives, so now we can only investigate his past to see if we can find other clues.”
Hearing this, Ye Nanxing imdiately volunteered, “Doctor Jing Yun, leave this to , I’ll help with the investigation!”
Considering the Ye family’s influence in Zhao City, investigating this matter should be quite easy, so Qiao Jing did not decline, nodding slightly, “Then I’ll trouble you.”
“No trouble, not at all!”
Ye Nanxing shook his head continuously, smiling brightly, “I’m happy to help!”
After leaving the cetery, the three went their separate ways, returning to their respective hos.
Early the next morning, Ye Nanxing ca to the Song family to find Qiao Jing.
Qiao Jing knew he must have found sothing, given that he ca so early.
And indeed.
Ye Nanxing started right off, “Doctor Jing Yun, this Grandpa Ming had a very simple history, so there wasn’t much to find out, only that he used to be an officer in the army unit.”
After listening, Qiao Jing lowered her gaze in thought for a mont.
In that case, the person who sent her to visit Grandpa Ming might have been a comrade of his?
The more Qiao Jing thought about it, the more possible it seed, and she decided to contact Zhan Nanjing to have Zhan Nanjing ask Old Master Zhan about it.
Because Old Master Zhan had ntioned before that he used to be a War General in the unit, maybe he could find out sothing.
Thinking this, Qiao Jing imdiately took out her phone and called Zhan Nanjing.
As soon as the call connected, before Qiao Jing could say anything, Zhan Nanjing eagerly asked, “Xiao Jing, how’s it going? Did you find the person with the surna Ming?”
“I found him, but he has already passed away…”
Qiao Jing briefly explained the situation, then said, “So, I’d like to ask you to have your grandfather help find out about this.”
Zhan Nanjing was quite surprised about this.
She didn’t expect the person nad Ming to have been an officer in the army unit!
And the person who sent Xiao Jing to visit this Officer Ming was most likely soone from the unit too!
After the initial surprise, Zhan Nanjing readily agreed, “No problem, leave it to , I’ll go ask my grandfather right away!”
With that said, she hung up and imdiately went to find her grandfather.
Standing in front of Zhan Yuanshan, Zhan Nanjing quickly recounted the story.
anwhile, Zhan Qipei happened to pass by, and hearing Zhan Nanjing discussing this matter, he paused for a mont.
He also wanted to figure out if this Qiao Jing was indeed Qiao Jing’s sister?
After hearing his granddaughter’s account, Zhan Yuanshan simply rolled his eyes and waved his hand, “There’s nothing to investigate, I’ve said this over a hundred tis, Xiao Jing is just Jing Girl!”
“Jing Girl’s grandfather Zhang Ruicheng used to be my subordinate, and this Ming Hailou was also my subordinate, they had a good relationship, maybe it was Little Zhang who had Jing Girl visit Ming Hailou.”
Upon hearing this, Zhan Nanjing was montarily speechless.
How could she have forgotten that her grandfather always considered Xiao Jing as her sister-in-law!
Asking her grandfather ant he would likely substitute her sister-in-law’s affairs onto Xiao Jing, which wouldn’t lead to new information!
Soon, far away in Zhao City, Qiao Jing received a return call from Zhan Nanjing.
Even before Qiao Jing could ask, Zhan Nanjing on the other end of the phone spoke directly.
“Xiao Jing, you know, my grandfather always sees you as my sister-in-law, so when I tried asking him, he directly associated you with her, I couldn’t get much, only that Hai Minglou was his forr subordinate.”
After summarizing the situation, Zhan Nanjing added, “I think, although this is a bit mixed up, all signs suggest, without any surprise, you probably are my sister-in-law’s sister!”
Qiao Jing mused for a mont and then responded with a gentle smile, “Alright, I understand, thank you.”
“No need to be polite, you being my sister-in-law’s sister, that makes us family too!”
Zhan Nanjing’s hearty voice ca from the other end of the phone.
Qiao Jing smiled and chatted with Zhan Nanjing a little longer before ending the call.
After putting away her phone, she quietly sorted through her thoughts.
Coming all the way to Zhao City, there wasn’t much to show for it.
Her original identity remained a mystery, and her mories had not returned.
There really wasn’t much left to investigate here.
After so consideration, Qiao Jing decided to return to the capital in the next couple of days.
Hearing she planned to leave Zhao City, Ye Nanxing beside her imdiately looked crestfallen.
He looked at Qiao Jing with pleading eyes, “Doctor Jing Yun, can you not leave?”
Qiao Jing silently shook her head, indicating she couldn’t stay.
Ye Nanxing pursed his lips, unwillingly asking, “Why? Why can’t you stay? Zhao City is a nice place, I’m sure you’d be happy living here!”
“Zhao City is indeed a nice place, but I don’t belong here.” Qiao Jing’s tone was calm.
She ca to Zhao City just to investigate the past, and after the investigation, she was bound to return.
Hearing this, Ye Nanxing’s head dropped imdiately.
After a mont, he suddenly thought of sothing and quickly raised his head, looking at Qiao Jing with expectant eyes, “Then can you co to my house for a al once more?”
