Chapter 617 is simply unsolvable.

Qin Ce didn't speak, he just quietly looked at Qiao Xing.

Qiao Xing was getting anxious. "Say something!"

Qin Ce said slowly, "I remember someone telling me that she wanted to handle this matter herself without relying on me. Why are you asking me now?"

Qiao Xing looked into Qin Ce's eyes, and whether it was her imagination or not, she seemed to see something different in them.

I have a feeling that Qin Ce already knows.

After hesitating for a moment, she simply said, "Whether I wanted your help or not, you've already helped me, haven't you?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Ce's expression remained unchanged; he merely raised an eyebrow slightly. "You understand?"

Qiao Xing nodded. "I know this is a difficult case to investigate. Even the detective that Attorney Yang hired couldn't do it. I can't think of anyone else who could find such detailed information besides you."

Qin Ce chuckled, "Looks like you're not too stupid after all."

Qiao Xing couldn't laugh. "Are you blaming me?"

"What's it to you?"

“From beginning to end, I was the one making all the decisions. From the very beginning, I took Lin Xi to school and made her do those things, including later when I went to find Yang Yi. I even said that I didn’t want to use your status to do these things, but in the end, things still didn’t turn out well.”

Qiao Xing was actually somewhat regretful, as this matter had clearly exceeded her capabilities, but she insisted on being stubborn.

She didn't know how long the stalemate would have lasted if Qin Ce hadn't taken the initiative to investigate Feng Nian's crimes.

Qin Ce said, "Do you know why I agreed to this in the first place?"

Qiao Xing remained silent, waiting for Qin Ce to continue.

"Rather than me offering to help you, I hope you realize that many things, as long as they involve you, regardless of who the main character is, become a matter between the two of us. Do you understand?"

Whether Qiao Xing goes to Yang Yi or finds someone else to handle this matter, Qin Ce will respect her decision.

However, he did not want Qiao Xing to always try to solve any problems with an independent mindset.

He sighed, "Qiao Xing, I am your husband, the man who will walk through life with you. So whatever happens to you, whether you can solve it or not, it is something I need to take responsibility for. You don't need to feel guilty about relying on me, understand?"

His bluntness in revealing Qiao Xing's innermost thoughts, which had been troubling her for some time, left Qiao Xing feeling somewhat lost and confused.

At the same time, I felt somewhat ashamed.

Yes, he is Qin Ce, the man she loves.

When she thought she didn't want to cause him trouble, it was actually even more unfair to Qin Ce.

Because at times, Qin Ce seemed to become the outsider.

Qiao Xing remained silent for a long time.

Qin Ce took her hand and made her sit next to him.

He gently stroked Qiao Xing's belly, and the little one inside seemed to sense it, playfully moving slightly.

Qiao Xing gasped in surprise.

Qin Ce chuckled softly in her ear, "Look, there's still a little one here. That's the greatest meaning of being with you. I don't need you to tell me that you'll take good care of yourself if I'm not around, and I don't need you to be particularly independent or strong. With you, I'll always be the first person you need. Remember that?"

"Okay, sure."

Qiao Xing seemed to feel much relieved in an instant.

It doesn't seem like a difficult thing to accept the goodness of your loved one.

After they have children, they may have more responsibilities and face all sorts of problems.

Now that she and Qin Ce have become family, they should face everything together, no matter what happens.

She used to trap herself in these kinds of things, thus ignoring Qin Ce's thoughts.

Or rather, she had always overlooked Qin Ce's love for her.

The two were just enjoying their time together when Grandpa Qin returned from his walk with Lin Xi.

As soon as Grandpa Qin saw the two of them, he exclaimed "Oh dear!" and then turned around and led Lin Xi to the balcony.

"Come here, Xixi, let's see how the flowers we planted yesterday are doing."

Qiao Xing and Qin Ce exchanged a smile.

When Qiao Xing saw Lin Xi, he was reminded of his negotiation with Feng Nian.

Now that she had already spoken frankly with Qin Ce, Qiao Xing asked him directly, "What you found out is indeed quite fatal for Feng Nian, but if his daughter doesn't apologize, even if Feng Nian goes to jail, it won't make a difference."

Qin Ce said, "You don't need to worry. He's more anxious about this than you are. Let him figure it out himself."

Feng Nian was naturally anxious. He had underestimated Qiao Xing and originally planned to use Qiao Hong's past to throw her into disarray. Who knew that this woman would turn around and find out all his secrets?

He went to great lengths to conceal those things, spending countless hours putting on a show, all because he feared that one day someone would discover his deception.

For so many years, he has been able to get away with things at the company without incident, and even if he were to be discovered, it would be very difficult to find any flaws in his actions.

I don't know where Qiao Xing got the ability to investigate so thoroughly.

However, since things had come to this point, Feng Nian no longer had the mind to think about these things.

He drove directly to the hospital.

Feng Jiao has recovered a lot, but she cannot be discharged from the hospital yet. Mr. Feng's wife has been taking care of her at the hospital every step of the way.

She had been too busy with work and neglected to educate Feng Jiao, otherwise those things wouldn't have happened.

So this incident can be considered a lesson for Mrs. Feng. She hopes to take this opportunity to spend some quality time with Feng Jiao. Even if she can't completely change her, she should at least make her realize her mistakes.

When Feng Nian arrived, Mrs. Feng was sitting by Feng Jiao's bedside. As soon as she saw Feng Nian enter, Mrs. Feng's expression changed immediately.

What are you doing here?

After their last argument, Feng Nian hadn't come home, and Mrs. Feng hadn't called him either, because she knew very well what Feng Nian had been busy with.

That's why Mrs. Feng was even angrier.

Feng Nian walked into the ward, and without saying a word, he directly pulled Mrs. Feng out of the ward.

The two had just come out of the ward when Mrs. Feng forcefully pulled her hand away, saying, "Haven't you been causing enough trouble all day long? What are you trying to do now!"

Feng Nian was already extremely anxious and agitated, and on top of that, his wife's lack of understanding only fueled his anger. "What am I going to do? Do you know that our family is about to be completely ruined!"

Mrs. Feng looked at him with a puzzled expression. "What nonsense are you spouting!"

Feng Nian said, "I've thought about it. If this matter continues to escalate like this, it will never be resolved."

Mrs. Feng laughed angrily, "You knew it was hopeless, so why didn't you do it sooner? Now things have escalated, and you've dragged the police into it. What's the use of regretting it now?"
