Chapter 1045 Are you here to divorce me?

Just as Qin Yi and Qin Ce finished talking, Grandpa Qin pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.

Upon seeing the two brothers, he asked in confusion, "Why are there only two of you here? Where's Xingxing?"

Qin Ce said, "Didn't she go to see you?"

Grandpa Qin looked completely bewildered. "When did she come to see me? I just came from my own ward and I didn't see her at all."

Qin Ce frowned and immediately took out his phone to call Qiao Xing.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is currently switched off..."

Qin Ce's expression instantly darkened.

Qin Yi also heard the voice on the phone, and he quickly comforted Qin Ce, "Maybe the phone is out of battery, I'll go out and look for it."

He got up and left as soon as he finished speaking.

Grandpa Qin asked, "Are you sure she really came to see me? Did something come up and she couldn't come?"

Qin Ce's ward and Qin's grandfather's ward are only a few steps apart.

If Qiao Xing hadn't gone to see Grandpa Qin, he should be back by now.

Qin Ce's intuition told him that things were not so simple.

Qin Yi searched the hospital thoroughly, and also looked in the park and flower beds outside, but still couldn't find Qiao Xing.

He even asked all the nurses at the nurses' station and several passersby, but they all said they had never seen Qiao Xing.

Qin Yi hurried back to the ward and said to Qin Ce, "I've searched everywhere, but I still can't find my sister-in-law. Do you think she went home?"

Qin Ce said, "If you're really home, there's no need to turn off your phone."

Grandpa Qin asked, "Did you upset Xingxing and make her leave? Is that why her phone is off?"

Qin Ce said helplessly, "Grandpa, why would I upset her for no reason?"

Grandpa Qin also became anxious, "Then where could this perfectly healthy person have gone?"

"Xingjiu."

Qin Ce called Xing Jiu in.

"Go check the hospital's surveillance footage and see where Qiao Xing went."

"Okay, Mr. Qin."

Qin Ce turned to Qin Yi and said, "Continue searching around the hospital..."

He paused for a moment, then simply got out of bed. "Never mind, I'll go by myself."

Qiao Xing is pregnant and has difficulty walking. If she only goes to the area around the hospital, she certainly won't go too far.

But if she was taken away by someone, then that's another story.

Qin Yi quickly stopped Qin Ce, "Brother, you're overreacting. If your sister-in-law really was taken away, you won't find her even if you turn the hospital upside down. Let's check the surveillance footage first."

Grandpa Qin also said, "Xiao Yi is right. Don't worry. If Xingxing really left from the hospital, the surveillance cameras will definitely have captured it. Then we can just have the police look for her."

Qin Ce sat down on the edge of the bed and silently exhaled.

He was indeed getting a little anxious.

Xing Jiu was very quick; she came over to report to Qin Ce in less than five minutes.

"Mr. Qin, I checked the hospital's surveillance footage and saw that after Madam came out of the ward, she said a few words to a strange man and then left with him."

"Who went there, and where did they go?"

"The man was wearing black clothes and a hat, and he seemed to be deliberately avoiding the cameras. His face was not visible at all. The corridor that the lady walked with him led to the back door of the hospital, which was also a blind spot for the cameras, so nothing could be seen."

Grandpa Qin asked Xing Jiu, "You said the stars followed that person?"

"Yes, the two stood there for less than two minutes before the lady followed him."

Grandpa Qin said, "That means Xingxing knows that person. She wasn't kidnapped; she was tricked."

Qin Yi asked Qin Ce, "Brother, do you know who your wife's friends are?"

From the moment Xing Jiu said that Qiao Xing had gone with that man on her own initiative, a name had already appeared in Qin Ce's mind.

He was silent for a moment, then said to Xing Jiu, "Go and investigate Shen Boyan and everything about his family, including who he has met and what he has done recently. You must find out everything in detail."

"OK."

As soon as Xing Jiu left, Grandpa Qin asked, "Who is this Shen Boyan? Is he friends with Xingxing?"

"He's Qiao Xing's colleague."

Qin Yi asked suspiciously, "Since they're colleagues, why did he take your sister-in-law away so quietly and turn off her phone? What does he want? Money or something?"

Qin Ce's eyes darkened slightly.

Based on his understanding of Shen Boyan, neither money nor life was something he would do.

The reason why Qiao Xing was taken away can only be found out after we find him.

At this moment, the sound of things being smashed kept coming from Wang Yu's bedroom in the Qin family.

The servants stood at the door, listening to the commotion inside, but none of them dared to go in.

Wang Yu stayed in the room for two days, and the sound never stopped.

Just then, Qin Liang, who had heard the noise, came out of the study.

Seeing two or three servants standing at the door of Wang Yu's bedroom, she asked, "What are you all doing standing here?"

The maid said tremblingly, "Madam hasn't eaten all day. We were thinking of bringing her something in, but..."

No sooner had he finished speaking than the sound of something breaking came from the room again.

Qin Liang was waved away by the servants, who said, "You may all leave."

He pushed open the bedroom door and went inside.

The room was a complete mess; not a single intact item could be seen, and even the murals on the wall had been shattered into pieces by Wang Yu.

Wang Yu sat on the edge of the bed with her hair disheveled. When she saw Qin Liang come in, she slowly raised her head and looked at him with bloodshot eyes.

"Are you here to divorce me?"

Qin Liang remained silent.

Enraged, Wang Yu casually smashed a vase that was not far from her onto the floor.

Qin Liang's eyes were filled with complex emotions. "What is it that made you become like this?"

Wang Yu gave a bitter laugh. "Why? Do you really want to hear it?"

Qin Liang looked at her quietly, waiting for her answer.

"What do you think I did this for? Qin Liang, I've become like this entirely because of you!"

Qin Liang looked at her with a hint of confusion in his eyes.

He asked himself honestly, and realized that he hadn't done anything to wrong Wang Yu, Qin Ji, or Qin Fei over the past few years.

He knew that it wasn't easy for Wang Yu to make the decision to be with him.

He also knew that she had suffered a lot of disdain and criticism from many people for being with him.

Therefore, Qin Liang always felt guilty towards Wang Yu.

Otherwise, how could someone as concerned about his image as him have insisted on marrying Wang Yu into the Qin family despite so much criticism?

Qin Liang asked, puzzled, "Did I do something wrong to disappoint you?"
