Chapter 694 - 675: No Matter Who It Is, They Won’t Be Spared
That night, Qin Mobai didn’t sleep well at all, even with Lou Xi by his side.
Tossing and turning, he kept feeling like something was going to happen.
The next morning, Lou Xi received a call from Qin Ruiqian, who informed her that the elderly lady had passed away in her sleep.
The phone in Lou Xi’s hand fell to the ground with a snap.
Tears poured out of her eyes like a flood.
She seemed to still remember the scene when she lay on the same bed as the elderly lady, and the night before the wedding when she, the elderly lady, Bai Lu, and Qin Moxi sat together discussing girlish secrets. She could still recall their phone conversation from last night.
Why, then, did news of the elderly lady’s death come the very next day?
Qin Mobai watched Lou Xi suddenly break down emotionally and heard Qin Ruiqian’s voice coming through the phone that had fallen to the ground:
"You should come back as soon as possible; the elderly lady’s funeral will be in the next two days."
Qin Mobai instantly understood the reason for Lou Xi’s emotional breakdown.
He was also stunned, unable to react for a long time; he could still remember the phone call between Lou Xi and the elderly lady yesterday evening, the elder lady sounded desolated on the other end of the line and sighed.
Several times, Qin Mobai wanted to pick up the phone and speak to the elderly lady.
But he held back; Qin Mobai didn’t want to make the elderly lady anxious. If she knew his current situation, she’d undoubtedly be even more worried.
Who would have thought that after that phone call, the elderly lady would...
Thinking of this, Qin Mobai picked up the phone Lou Xi dropped, put it to his ear, and spoke, "We’ll come back as soon as possible."
The person on the other end was startled. Qin Ruiqian felt like he heard a familiar voice, a voice that came from his son!
"Mo... Mobai?" Qin Ruiqian called out Qin Mobai’s name in disbelief, his voice trembling all over.
"Dad." Qin Mobai rarely called Qin Ruiqian "Dad," and this "Dad" almost brought tears to Qin Ruiqian’s eyes.
Lou Xi also lifted her head from her emotional collapse, looking at Qin Mobai in surprise.
How was he speaking with Qin Ruiqian; what if...
Qin Mobai’s face remained calm and decisive, "Some things I will explain when we’re back; I’ll hang up now."
After hanging up the phone, Qin Mobai suddenly held onto his chest, feeling a sharp pain from there, his features were all twisted together.
Lou Xi couldn’t worry about grieving; she immediately helped Qin Mobai, "How are you? Is the wound hurting? I’ll call a doctor!"
Lou Xi, while concerned about the sudden news of the elderly lady’s death, was also worried about Qin Mobai’s injuries.
Everything came too suddenly, catching everyone off guard.
Qin Mobai grasped Lou Xi’s wrist, saying, "I’m fine."
He frowned, looking quite uncomfortable.
"You can’t have any more issues, otherwise..."
"Really, I’m fine. I probably didn’t rest well. We’ll go back to Nancheng later, and I need to handle the posthumous arrangements for Grandma." Qin Mobai’s hand clenched tightly into a fist, his heart full of regret reaching its peak. If only he had said a word to the elderly lady last night, would it have prevented this?
Lou Xi seemed to see through what Qin Mobai was thinking, she held his hand, "Mobai, it’s not your fault; Grandma’s death was an accident. Don’t place all the blame on yourself; the blame should be on the person who tried every means to kill you!"
Qin Mobai’s expression was grave, "Once we find the mastermind, no matter who it is, I won’t let them go."
When he said this, Qin Mobai’s eyes were full of anger.
