novelPushing into a dead
| ← Ch.0318 | Ch.0320 → |
Everything had already surfaced, and the only thing that Qin Yue was still confused about was why the old man had to go all out against Jian Ran.
If it was just because Xiao Yuanfeng had indirectly caused the death of someone very important to the Old Master, wouldn't it be better for the Old Master to seek revenge and find the Xiao Family's only son, Xiao Qinghe?
Even with Qin Yue's powerful and nimble brain, he couldn't figure out why he was facing such a situation.
Just as he was thinking with his eyes closed, the driver had already arrived at the second destination for today, the farm where the Old Man Qin was temporarily staying.
The scorching sun still hung high in the sky, but because the surrounding vegetation was very lush, blocking out the sunlight, it wasn't as hot as it was outside.
Old Man Qin had already lived here for some time. Every day was about the same. Drinking tea, nurturing flowers, playing chess, he felt as comfortable as he could get.
When Qin Yue arrived, the old man was sitting in the pavilion with his assistant, Little He, playing chess.
The old gramps game had already forced Little He into a dead end. If Little He didn't go well with this step, then with one more move from the old gramps, he would be able to kill him.
"Young Master, you're here." Upon seeing Qin Yue, Little He took the initiative to give way, "Why don't you play two rounds with the old man."
Qin Yue did not decline and sat down at Little He's seat. His sharp eyes swept across the entire chess board and took a step forward.
He had only taken one chess piece, and the chess game that had just been decided as a loss suddenly came to life. No matter how the old gramps walked, he was unable to do anything to him.
After a few more rounds, the old tutor gradually found it difficult to keep up. He looked and looked, thought and again, and watched as his final piece fell.
He only needed to take one more step to completely win. He did not know how Qin Yue turned the match into a victory.
Old Man Qin rolled his eyes, "I'm almost too old. As a junior, you can't be merciful and force me to die?"
Qin Yue said indifferently: "I never thought of forcing you to death, rather, every step you took was a killing move. If I am not wary of you, then the one who will die tragically in the end will be me."
They seemed to be talking about a game of chess, but everyone knew that they were not talking about just a game of chess, but the situation they were in right now.
Qin Yue wanted the old man to understand that he would not take the initiative to attack unless the old man was too ruthless.
However, Old Man Qin was his grandfather after all. It was impossible for him to make a killing move against the old man, but it was still okay to control his freedom like he did now.
Old Man Qin said, "Little He, go and get my best Pu'er and make us a pot of new tea. Let young master help me with the new tea and see if it's worth the price?"
"I'll go now." Knowing that the two of them had something to say, Helper He tactfully found an excuse to leave after bringing the tea up.
When the Helper He left, the old man suddenly sneered, "Why are you so free to come? Are you here to see how long I can live? "
Qin Yue unhurriedly arranged the chess pieces, picked up the tea and drank a few mouthfuls, then said slowly: "With how your body is, and how strong your words are, living a few more decades definitely won't be a problem. I came here today to play chess with you."
"No matter how good my body is, I will still be angered to death by an unfilial son like you." Old Man Qin swept his hands, sweeping away all the chess pieces that Qin Yue had placed on the ground, and said snappily, "Both you and I know very well that you shouldn't pretend to be good in front of me."
"Lordmaster, since you're so direct, then I won't beat around the bush." Qin Yue sat upright, looked at Old Man Qin and said, "Actually, the reason I came to find you was to confirm something with you."
"You think I'm going to tell you?"
"You will."
"Hmph??"
"Because you loved Xiao Bao and loved his dearly. You wanted her to live as carefree and carefree as he is now."
"You??"
After hearing Qin Yue's words, Old Man Qin was also extremely shocked. He couldn't believe that under such circumstances without any clues, Qin Yue would be able to find out about Xiao Bao's identity so quickly.
But from Qin Yue's words just now, it was clear that he knew something was related to Xiao Bao. The old man wasn't willing to believe it, but he had no choice.
Qin Yue continued: "Actually, it doesn't matter even if you don't say it. I just came to tell you that I will always be Xiao Bao's brother."
The meaning in his words was that he was Qin Xiaobao's big brother, so he would naturally protect Qin Xiaobao like he did in the past and love her like he would his own little sister.
However, the old man's chilling method did not treat him as a descendant of the Qin Family.
Old Man Qin was slightly taken aback, "What are you trying to say?"
"I'm fine." Throwing down his words, Qin Yue stood up and left, because he knew that he wouldn't be able to get any leads from the old man's mouth.
Before he'd come, he'd thought that the old tutor would be enlightened and repent of his actions, but it looked like that was impossible now.
"Mu, Grandfather will also ask you a question." Amongst Jian Ran and the Qin Family, you can only choose one.
The old man's voice came from behind him, but Qin Yue did not turn back.
The Qin Family was his root and Jian Ran was his wife. They were equally important to him, so it was simply impossible for him to give up on any of them.
He watched as Qin Yue got on the carriage and the carriage drove off. Little He walked over from afar and stared at Qin Yue's carriage with his cold and gloomy eyes until it disappeared. Only then did he withdraw his gaze.
He said, "Old Master, I've already followed your instructions."
The old man nodded and asked: "How's the progress with Jian Ran?"
Little He said: "All these days, she hardly ever went out. The only time I went out was to look for Xiao Qinghe. I stayed at Xiao Qinghe's house for around half an hour before I left."
"She went to find Xiao Qinghe? Has there been any movement from Xiao Qinghe recently? "
"Xiao Qinghe didn't."
"??"
"Old Gramps, could that thing really not be in Jian Ran's hands?"
The old man frowned as he thought about it."That's impossible."
That year, Jian Zhengtian had only met Jian Ran's mother before she died and handed something over to her. At that time, Old Man Qin did not stop her.
That was because he didn't know that they had such important evidence in their possession. By the time he found out, there was no way to find it.
Old Man Qin then said, "Continue to send people to keep an eye on him. No matter the method, we must obtain that evidence."
If that piece of evidence were to be leaked, the reputation he had built up in his life would be ruined. Everything would be destroyed.
If he was destroyed, what about Xiao Bao?
