Due to issues with the betrothal gift, Qiao Xing's two-year relationship with her boyfriend collapsed overnight. Feeling disheartened, her elderly neighbor insisted his grandson go on a blind d...

Chapter 630 How could someone die out of nowhere?

Qin Ce remained silent.

He certainly believed that Shen Boyan did this to put Qiao Xing at risk.

He didn't have the guts, nor the need.

But what if it's for another reason?

Qin Ce was even more unwilling to say it.

After all, no one wants to admit that someone is coveting their wife.

There was a red light at the intersection ahead, so Qin Ce stopped the car and turned to Qiao Xing, saying, "You've already signed it, so it's too late even if there are problems."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Xing's heart sank.

"ah?"

Seeing her nervousness, Qin Ce couldn't bear to let her worry so much. He said seriously, "No, since he was able to get you to sign this, it means he has the confidence and assurance. Nobody is stupid. He wouldn't dig a pit and then let someone else jump in."

Qiao Xing thought about it and agreed.

She believed in Shen Boyan's character and thought he wasn't the kind of person who would do such a thing.

When the green light came on, Qin Ce steadily started the car.

Qiao Xing thought the topic was over, but the next second, Qin Ce suddenly said, "Your colleague is quite good to you, giving you 40% of the shares without hesitation."

When he said this, there seemed to be a hint of jealousy in his voice, but Qiao Xing didn't notice it. She even went along with Qin Ce's words: "Yeah, actually I didn't expect it myself. I haven't been at the company for very long, and I haven't played any real role. I spend half of my time at home. I don't know what he's thinking."

Qin Ce snorted coldly in his heart.

Qiao Xing had no idea what he was thinking, otherwise it wouldn't be him sitting in the car with Qiao Xing right now, but that guy surnamed Chen.

When the two returned home, the nanny was cooking, and Grandpa Qin was sitting in a recliner watching TV.

Just as Qiao Xing and Qin Ce entered the room, the television screen switched to broadcast an urgent news report.

"This station reports that Feng Nian, the manager of Xingrong Company, has been anonymously reported for tax evasion, fabricating false transaction records, and being involved in multiple economic crimes. Relevant departments have launched an in-depth investigation, and our station will continue to follow up on this matter."

When Qiao Xing and Qin Ce saw this news, they both stood still.

However, unlike others, Qin Ce only glanced at it briefly before changing his shoes and going into the house. He then went to the kitchen to check on how the nanny was preparing the meal.

But Qiao Xing had only one question in his mind.

Who did this?

After Zhao Ru came to see her, Qiao Xing had already given up on reporting Feng Hong. The evidence she had was known to no one except her and Qin Ce, and no one could easily find it.

If it wasn't her, then who could it be?

After reading the news, Grandpa Qin couldn't help but sigh, "He who sows his own evil will surely perish."

During the time Lin Xi stayed at his home, he learned about everything that had happened, including the events involving Feng Hong and his family.

Although he hadn't interfered much in this matter, after getting to know Feng Hong, he knew that even without Qiao Xing and Qin Ce, given Feng Hong's character, he would have suffered a great loss sooner or later.

Grandpa Qin turned off the TV, stood up, and said, "Xingxing, don't stand there, let's eat."

Qiao Xing nodded absentmindedly, the question in her mind still lingering.

Just then, Qin Ce came out of the kitchen with some food, and her gaze involuntarily fell on him.

Could it be Qin Ce?

Qiao Xing thought about it and felt it was impossible. Qin Ce had promised her from the beginning that he wouldn't get too involved in this matter.

Even if they did it, it was all done with Qiao Xing's knowledge, and Feng Jiao was unconscious. They had already paid the price, so Qin Ce really had no need to do it again.

Qiao Xing was lost in thought when Qin Ce put down his things, looked up, and saw her staring at him intently. He asked, "What's wrong? Is there something on my face?"

Qiao Xing hesitated, wanting to ask but feeling it was impossible.

She shook her head and said, "No, let's eat."

Just as Qiao Xing sat down at the dining table, his phone rang.

She put down her chopsticks and answered the phone.

“Stars…” Wang Qin’s voice sounded trembling, as if she was very scared.

Qiao Xing asked suspiciously, "What's wrong?"

Wang Qin gripped her phone tightly. She swallowed hard several times, her voice strained, and said, "Feng Jiao, she...she's dead..."

Snap.

Qiao Xing accidentally knocked over the water glass next to him.

Feng Jiao is dead?

Qiao Xing opened his mouth, but didn't know what to say.

Wang Qin's voice on the phone was already choked with sobs, "On my way to work just now, I ran into Feng Jiao's mother. I don't know what happened to her, she was walking alone on the street, and she kept saying, 'My daughter is dead, my daughter is dead.'"

Wang Qin didn't know Zhao Ru. The reason she knew Zhao Ru was Feng Jiao's mother was because Zhao Ru acted like a madwoman, telling everyone she met that her daughter was named Feng Jiao, that she was very beautiful, and that it was a pity she would never see her again.

Wang Qin was terrified and, in her panic, dropped everything she was holding and ran straight home.

She's still shaking to this day.

But it wasn't all because they were scared by Zhao Ru; rather, they couldn't believe that Feng Jiao had suddenly died.

With a trembling voice, she asked Qiao Xing, "Xingxing, Feng Jiao is dead. Do you think they'll blame it on Xixi? Xixi is alone at school now. What if they go looking for her?"

"How could she have died out of the blue?"

"You didn't know?" Wang Qin asked, somewhat surprised.

"I don't know, what happened?"

Wang Qin hesitated for a moment before telling Qiao Xing everything. Qiao Xing's face turned pale; she hadn't expected things to develop to this point.

"No." This was too sudden, even Qiao Xing hadn't expected it, but after calming down, she comforted Wang Qin, "I, Feng Jiao, died because of a car accident. It has nothing to do with Lin Xi. Don't be too nervous. Things are the same as before. Even if it really happened, call the police immediately. The police won't ignore it."

When Wang Qin heard that Feng Jiao had died, the first thought that flashed through her mind was that Zhao Ru and Feng Hong might not be able to bear the pain of losing their daughter and would blame everything on Lin Xi.

She feared that this family wouldn't let them off easily.

But hearing Qiao Xing's words, she felt much more at ease. She nodded repeatedly, "Okay, I'll remember."

Qiao Xing thought for a moment and then said to Wang Qin, "Don't let Xixi know about this for now."

“I know that,” Wang Qin said.

Although Lin Xi is much better now, she is still sensitive and would inevitably overthink things if she knew about this.

After hanging up the phone, Qiao Xing held the phone quietly without moving.

Grandpa Qin noticed a slight change in her expression and asked, "Feng Jiao is dead? What happened?"

Qin Ce didn't speak, but just quietly looked at Qiao Xing, as if waiting for her to speak.

Qiao Xing didn't know how to describe her feelings at that moment.

She wasn't sympathizing with Feng Jiao; given what she had done, retribution was only a matter of time.

Her feelings were complicated because she thought about her age; she wasn't that much older than Lin Xi.

She is even a little younger than Lin Xi.
