Is Chapter 616 just her overthinking things?

Qiao Xing was stunned. "No news? But I clearly received a call, and he already sent me the information."

Yang Yi said on the phone, "No, really. I've been urging him, but the answer I got was that this matter is difficult to investigate. That guy surnamed Feng is involved in many economic issues. If this kind of thing is investigated, there may be a chain reaction. He told me before that the risk is too great and he doesn't dare to investigate."

Yang Yi couldn't help but ask suspiciously, "Who called you? It wasn't a scammer, was it?"

Qiao Xing thought about Feng Nian's expression when he saw those documents. If those things were false, he wouldn't have reacted so strongly.

The problem now is, if this is true, and the information doesn't belong to the detective Yang Yi hired, then who else could it be?

Qiao Xing asked again, still somewhat doubtful, "Really not you?"

Yang Yi chuckled: "It really wasn't me. If I had found out, I would have told you immediately. This isn't the first time we've talked about this. Even if I helped you, why would I keep it from you?"

Qiao Xing also thought it made sense, but apart from Yang Yi, she hadn't told anyone else about it.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong.

On the other hand, Yang Yi was also a little puzzled after hanging up the phone.

He had no reason to lie to Qiao Xing, after all, he knew how difficult this matter was. He even wanted to give the detective more money so that he could find out the truth no matter what.

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

Investigating this matter is no easy task. If it were an ordinary person, they might even get themselves implicated, so most people wouldn't easily take that risk.

Yang Yi stroked his chin, carefully considering the people around Qiao Xing.

Finally, he suddenly realized something.

How could he have forgotten him?

Who else in the entire city of Chongqing has the courage and ability to do this besides him?

When Qiao Xing returned home, Qin Ce had already come back.

The nanny had just finished cooking, and Lin Xi was helping her bring the dishes out of the kitchen.

After staying with Qiao Xing for a few days, Lin Xi's condition improved significantly.

They show great interest in many things and are very proactive.

Grandpa Qin would take her out for a walk every day to relax, and when they got home he would teach her how to tend to the flowers and plants, and occasionally he would teach her to play chess.

Although Grandpa Qin wouldn't lecture her with grand principles, he would often subtly teach her how to face life and the future through small incidents.

Lin Xi only had Wang Qin as a relative since she was a child.

Although Wang Qin treated Lin Xi very well, when facing Grandpa Qin, Lin Xi could clearly feel the warmth that was even stronger than that of a relative.

She also became more talkative, and when she saw Qiao Xing return, she would take the initiative to ask, "Sister is back."

Qiao Xing had something on her mind, so she simply responded and glanced at Qin Ce.

Qin Ce happened to catch her gaze and asked, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Xing stared at his expression for a few seconds, then shook her head. "It's nothing."

Grandpa Qin happened to come over from the balcony and said, "Xingxing is back, come and eat."

"Okay, Grandpa."

There wasn't much conversation among the group at the dinner table; Qiao Xing was usually the one who initiated the conversation.

Today, Qiao Xing was only focused on eating and didn't say much, so the others didn't bring up any topics either.

Only Grandpa Qin casually asked about Lin Xi.

Qiao Xing didn't tell Grandpa Qin the truth. He only said that things were about to improve and that no matter what the final outcome was, Lin Xi was not the one who needed to bear the main responsibility.

Hearing this, Grandpa Qin finally felt relieved.

After dinner, as usual, Grandpa Qin took Lin Xi out for a walk.

The nanny finished cleaning and went home, leaving only Qiao Xing and Qin Ce at home.

Qiao Xing had been absent-minded ever since they started eating.

Qin Ce had already figured it out, but he said nothing and asked nothing.

He was just waiting for Qiao Xing to get restless and take the initiative to ask him.

Qiao Xing couldn't help herself. She had only suspected it slightly, but the thought that if Qin Ce really knew about it, and she was still keeping it from him would only make him angrier.

However, Qiao Xing thought about it and realized it was unlikely.

If Qin Ce knew, she would rather hire a detective to investigate the matter than tell him. Given his temper, he would probably have already asked her about it.

After thinking it over, Qiao Xing decided to ask Qin Ce.

However, she didn't intend to ask directly, but instead probed indirectly first.

She turned off the TV and went to the bedroom.

Qin Ce was sitting in a chair by the window reading a book. When he saw her come in, he asked, "What's wrong?"

Qiao Xing pursed her lips, hesitated for a moment, and then said to Qin Ce, "Do you think we can find out the truth about Lin Xi's matter? I suddenly feel unsure."

After listening to her, Qin Ce calmly continued flipping through the book. "There's been no concrete progress, and you won't let me help. What will you do if it really comes to nothing in the end?"

Judging from his tone, Qiao Xing didn't think he had done that.

Could it be that she's overthinking things?

Actually, this isn't a particularly serious matter. If Qin Ce really knows, then she should just tell him the truth.

But if he didn't know, wouldn't she be digging a hole for herself by revealing it now?

“I’ve already arranged for someone to investigate that girl’s father. I don’t believe that someone like him is without any flaws. If we find out even one, we’ll make sure he can never recover.”

After listening, Qin Ce nodded in approval, "That's good, you know to investigate in private."

Qiao Xing smiled smugly, "Of course, after all, we've been together for so long, I have to learn and apply the methods you use at the company."

Qin Ce's tone made Qiao Xing even more certain that he definitely didn't know about this.

This made her feel much more relaxed.

Qin Ce closed the book and looked at Qiao Xing, "Have you ever thought that even if you do find something that is not good for Feng Nian, the person who started this is his daughter?"

Qin Ce asked, "Even if he is afraid of threats and compromises on this matter, what about the child's mother and the child himself? They will not solve all the troubles for Feng Nian because of the sins he himself committed."

After listening to Qin Ce's words, Qiao Xing couldn't help but think about Feng Nian's temper.

If he really can't get Feng Jiao to apologize to Lin Xi, and Qiao Xing still has some fatal evidence against him.

If Feng Nian makes a scene, who knows what he might do?

Having seen Qiao Hong serve as a cautionary tale, Qiao Xing has no desire for Feng Nian to become the next Qiao Hong.

She couldn't help but ask Qin Ce, "Then what should we do?"
