Stolen Life of the Poor Girl, Top Luxury Family's Group Favor

Chapter 249

After returning, Qin Yue finally explained the whole situation to her father and brother in detail.

In the circle of wealthy second-generation peers in China, Qin Yue was like a fish in water. This ease made her complacent when she arrived abroad.

After being lured into a trap by Edith, she realized that even if she did nothing, she might have already been forced into complicity.

She couldn't extricate herself.

On one hand, she was threatened by the "very influential guest" mentioned by Edith.

On the other hand, she couldn't stand the "performances" concocted by Edith and her ilk.

For Qin Yue, who had been educated in China, these things that trampled on the bottom line of human nature made her feel self-loathing as an onlooker, unable to save those people.

This eventually led to the consequences when Qin Sui saw her.

Qin Haoming, after hearing the story, was filled with anger: "Was it that ghost, Wen Xin, who came up with the idea? Where is she now?"

"Dead," Qin Yue replied.

"..." Qin Haoming felt like his punch had landed on cotton.

"How was this resolved? Are there any loose ends?" Qin Haoming gathered his thoughts and continued to ask.

Qin Yue thought for a moment and said, "No." But she didn't elaborate further.

That Ke Muning, and that ghost family, these connections, seemed to be Zhang Ruoshui's secret... so, she decided not to mention them.

Qin Haoming could tell at a glance that she was holding back, ready to ask more.

Qin Yue spoke up: "By the way, that ghost, Wen Xin, said something very strange... She said she came for me, just to force me to die."

Upon hearing this, Qin Haoming's face grew even darker: "She should be dug up and flogged!"

At this moment, he couldn't help but regret coming too late.

"Is she an enemy of Dad's?" Qin Yue asked.

Qin Haoming's attention was diverted. After all, this matter was more important than how it was resolved.

"Your brother and I will contact Xiaoya again to discuss and come up with a result. You don't need to worry about it..."

Qin Yue thought of how Zhang Ruoshui was treated.

She handed out the papers to the adults, then went to look at Wen Xin's corpse, while her subordinates treated her like an adult, explaining the situation to her...

Qin Yue couldn't help but say, "Dad, you always say that. The more you don't let me handle anything, leaving it all to you and Brother, the more likely I am to be deceived in the future..."

Qin Haoming's face darkened: "What nonsense are you talking?"

But after a pause, he changed his tone: "Let's have dinner together tomorrow."

The next day.

Xiaoya received the corrected exam papers.

At the dinner table, Xiaoya presented the number.

Qin Haoming looked at it and said, "I've never seen it... The area code looks like it's from Philadelphia. I also have some acquaintances in Philadelphia. We can start by narrowing down the scope through them..."

Xiaoya took out her phone: "No need, here's a photo of the person the number belongs to."

Qin Haoming: ?

Qin Haoming was slightly surprised: "Found it so quickly?"

Xiaoya nodded and said, "Uncle Qin and I thought the same, to narrow down the scope from the number. But there's a more convenient way."

Ke Muning made a call to Jefferson, using a special channel.

"We directly obtained all the information related to the number binding," Xiaoya skipped the middle process and directly stated the result.

A child abroad has such a channel?

Is it a connection from her grandfather's family?

Qin Haoming was even more surprised, and couldn't help but sigh. A child with such extensive connections, how powerful will she become when she grows up?

While thinking, Qin Haoming lowered his head to identify the photo.

"A mixed-race person? ... I don't recognize him."

Following that, Qin Sui and Qin Yue also took a look.

They both said they had never seen this person.

"Maybe there's someone behind him?" Qin Haoming thought of a question, "Since we've got his information, did we catch the person?"

"No, he seems very alert. From his number usage records, on the day Qin Sui arrived in Atlanta, he stopped using it," Xiaoya said, pausing before adding her speculation, "This seems to indicate that there's no one behind him. A small fry wouldn't be that alert."

Qin Sui said, "He knows me well?"

So he stopped his activities on the day Qin Sui arrived.

Everyone sat down and deduced for a while, but still couldn't figure out who this person was or who he knew.

Xiaoya even shared the photos with Sheng Yuxiao, who replied that he had never seen them.

"There's no need to worry too much," Qin Haoming pursed his lips, "Who among those who do big business doesn't have a few hidden enemies? Instead of guarding against hidden arrows, it's better to strengthen oneself. If he can't hold back and still wants Qin Yue dead, he'll eventually show himself."

Xiaoya nodded, "Someone will keep an eye on him."

Mr. Jefferson has charged this person with "endangering national security" and has distributed the photos widely.

Qin Haoming's eyes moved.

This "someone"... who is it that Xiaoya specifically mentions?

Qin Haoming was curious but didn't ask further. Everyone has their own cards, which can't be easily revealed.

"I'm going back to school," Xiaoya stood up, shouldering her backpack.

"Leaving already?" Qin Yue felt a bit reluctant.

Qin Haoming noticed his daughter's expression and couldn't help but say, "Why not transfer back to China to continue your studies?"

Qin Yue still refused: "Where you fall, you get up. Being too safe in China made me trip up as soon as I came out. Getting used to it will be better."

"Alright," Qin Haoming had no choice but to agree, "But in the future..."

Qin Yue took over, "I'll speak up if something happens, I won't keep it to myself."

She told Zhang Ruoshui, didn't she?

Although Zhang Ruoshui isn't gentle and doesn't comfort people, but... Qin Yue felt she might be a bit off—

She actually felt that being close to Zhang Ruoshui seemed to give her an intangible strength.

When Xiaoya left, she went to see her uncles and aunts.

She first touched her second uncle's leg.

"Does it still hurt?" she asked softly.

"It aches a bit during rainy days, but not severely," Wei Wenjuan said softly.

"Does Uncle still feel sad?" Xiaoya continued to show concern.

Wei Wenjuan smiled, "No, never again."

He, as well as Wei Wenyi and Wei Wenqing, had all learned a trait from Xiaoya, and would never again feel pain or inferiority because of their own shortcomings.

A crippled leg can make enemies lower their guard.

A mental illness naturally has its uses.

When one no longer detests the world, one's flaws can also be turned into advantages.

Xiaoya relaxed and smiled, "Then I'm relieved."

After seeing her uncles and aunts, she went to see Ke Muning, and then wanted to see Sheng Yuxiao, but he had flown to Singapore on business and left in a hurry without meeting.

Back in class, her classmates couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! Did you do that just to avoid those reporters coming to school for an interview?"

Xiaoya was puzzled, "What reporters?"

"The ones about the nursing home incident, there were so many of them, waiting outside our school for a long time, and you went abroad, just missing them."

The more the classmates talked, the more they felt it was amazing, "Now there are still people who don't want to be famous, Zhang Ruoshui, you really... are too different."

Xiaoya: ?

"I just went abroad to handle some things," she said.

Her classmates didn't believe it.

"How old are you? What could you possibly handle abroad? Definitely to avoid the reporters! By the way, you also missed out on the bravery award money..."

"Where can I get that?" Xiaoya asked seriously.

Interviews can be missed.

Money can't!

The class was bustling with activity.

A young man with messy hair sat by the coastline of Iceland, scratching his head: "Qin Yue should have died by suicide, Qin Sui would have killed her classmates, Ning Heng should have been deported back to China for organizing improper activities and turned into a scoundrel, Xu Ruying's parents should have died in a plane crash, the head of the Gui family should have been Wei Lin, Wei Wenyi should have died in a mental hospital..."

"And suddenly a Ke Muning appeared! They shouldn't have any connections at all..."

"Everything is messed up! Everything is messed up! This damn butterfly effect!"
