Chapter 129 The Only Possibility



Nian Mufeng voiced Ye Zhaoyu's speculation, stating that it was currently only a suspicion, without any other evidence, and that proof was needed.

After listening to Nian Mufeng's words, Ling Yunjue lowered his head in thought, his index finger and thumb rubbing together involuntarily.

Qin Zichuan is about the same age as his brother. They've been fighting since they were little, and Qin Zichuan has always been the one who gets beaten up.

That's just how all the kids in the family compound grow up. Once they're older, they stop fighting and talking about the things they did as kids. It's all in the past.

Qin Zichuan seemed quite magnanimous and didn't hold these matters against him. Besides, this wasn't the first time he had gone on a mission with his older brother; he knew of at least two such missions.

That can't be happening, right?!

But Ye Zhaoyu isn't the type of person who would suspect someone without reason. Could there really be a problem?

"I'll go back and ask my brother. Once I have the answer, I'll come find you."

Ye Lingyun didn't rush to deny it. He would go back and ask his brother, investigate the matter, and then decide what to do next. Besides, the poison in his brother's body came about inexplicably.

They investigated the stepmother thoroughly, and also investigated the family's half-brothers, but they couldn't find any evidence that they were responsible.

Aside from their family, the only people who could be related to the brothers' interests were their colleagues. However, promotions in the workplace depended entirely on military merit, making it difficult to manipulate the system.

If enemy agents are going to carry out an attack, they definitely have a purpose; they'll either kill directly or control the person.

After ruling out enemy agents, only our own people would do such a thing.

Seeing that Ling Yunjue took this matter to heart and was going to investigate, Nian Mufeng felt relieved.

"Okay, then I'll go back and wait for your news." Nian Mufeng got up and left.

Ling Yunjue took out a photo from his pocket. It was a photo of a person's back, and you could tell who it was at a glance.

He thought that Xiaoyuer wanted a divorce, and he could help her.

I couldn't help but rub my fingers against the photo.

A moment later, Ling Yunjue got up to go find his brother.

When Ling Yunmo saw Ling Yunjue coming to find him, he felt a little strange, since this person had devoted himself to work after Ye Zhaoyu's wedding and hadn't returned to Beijing much.

"The busy man is back?"

Ignoring the mockery in his brother's eyes, Ling Yunjue asked directly, "Have you found out who drugged you back then?"

"No, it's like that person disappeared. I've investigated everything that happened in those few days, including their eating habits, but I haven't found anything suspicious."

Ling Yunmo investigated for over a year, and no one else took action. He checked everyone and found no problems.

Ling Yunjue went through all the documents and reviewed the investigation list. It was full of people close to her, but no comrades-in-arms.

Suspecting your comrades is a major taboo.

“Brother, do you think it could be this…” Ling Yunjue wrote a name on the table with his finger.

"Probably not. When I was in trouble, he rushed over... trying to save me." Ling Yunmo's voice grew softer and softer until it was almost inaudible.

If the opponent hadn't pounced on him, he could have avoided vital areas, at least his leg wouldn't have been so badly injured, and he would have been able to stand up.

Ling Yunjue saw that his brother had realized that after eliminating all the impossibilities, the only one left was the most likely possibility.

Ling Yunmo recalled the days he was hospitalized. Qin Zishuang's sister came to visit him every day, bringing soup. He didn't drink it, but his stepmother didn't wash the bowl that had held the soup because it was oily. She just served him rice directly from there.

Only on a few occasions was he not seriously poisoned.

Every time Qin Zichuan came to see me, he would just chat and ask me a few words of concern, without bringing me any food or supplies.

Because he disliked Qin Zishuang, he rejected all her advances and subconsciously ignored Qin Zichuan as well, treating them all as if they were nothing.

Now that more than a year has passed, it is even more difficult to investigate.

The two brothers sat quietly in the room without saying a word.

Ling Yunyun crouched by the door, secretly listening to the sounds coming from inside the room.

Why can't I hear it?

"Miss Yun, what are you doing?"

Aunt Wang, who was helping with the cooking at the Ling family's house, noticed Ling Yunyun's strange behavior and called out to her.

The two people in the room heard the noise outside the door and quickly got up to open it. Ling Yunyun lost her balance and fell inside.

Ling Yunjue and Ling Yunmo exchanged a glance, then looked at Ling Yunyun.

Ling Yunyun liked Qin Zichuan. When Qin Zichuan got married, she didn't make a fuss or cause a scene, as if she had never liked him. They thought she had finally moved on.

There's a problem with it being like this.

"Ling Yunyun, why were you eavesdropping?" Ling Yunmo demanded sharply.

"What eavesdropping? I think you're plotting to secretly transfer your family's assets."

Ling Yunyun stood up and spoke with a righteous indignation.

"Don't change the subject. Who told you to eavesdrop at the door?" Ling Yunmo ignored her and his eyes were filled with murderous intent when he mentioned Ling Yunyun.

"Help! Someone's trying to kill me!" Ling Yunyun cried out in fear.

Ling Yunjue stared intently into Ling Yunyun's eyes, which held no trace of fear or provocation.

"Brother, let him go. Don't let outsiders laugh at us." Ling Yunjue gestured for Ling Yunmo to release him.

Ling Yunmo knew he was just trying to scare her; this guy had a strong mentality.

After releasing Ling Yunyun, the two brothers left the house immediately.

We went to the courtyard house that their mother had left for them.

"If he really did these things, what was his purpose? Was it simply because I'm better than him?"

No matter how upset Ling Yunmo was, he had to suspect this person.

"As long as you're around, he'll always be number two; if you're gone, he'll be number one."

Ling Yunjue was talking nonsense. Ling Yunmo knew about this too, but he couldn't believe that his trusted comrade would do such a thing just out of jealousy.

"Never mind anything else, let's investigate first! If he really wants to kill you, Xiaoyuer marrying him might be part of his scheme."

Ling Yunjue suddenly felt sorry for Ye Zhaoyu. If Ye Zhaoyu hadn't saved her brother, she wouldn't have been framed.

“It must have been him. When I woke up the day after my surgery, he came to see me. He looked very surprised and asked about Ye Zhaoyu. He said he was asking for information for his comrades to see if he could save other comrades.”

Ling Yunmo connected all the dots at once, but there was no evidence to prove that this person was responsible; it was all just speculation and suspicion.

"If it's him, where did he get his medicine? Little Fish was also poisoned by this kind of medicine."

Ling Yunjue knew that regret was useless now; the important thing was to investigate everything thoroughly.

The two brothers listed out all of Qin Zichuan's connections, including people who were rumored to be related to him but had never actually seen the two together.

After thoroughly screening all of Qin Zichuan's relationships, only two or three individuals were found to be suspicious.

"Let's investigate these people first, and then we'll talk about it after the results are in."

Ling Yunmo memorized the names and considered who he should ask for help with the investigation.

"Let us investigate what's inside, and let Ye Zhaoyu investigate what's outside."

Ling Yunjue suddenly said.

Ling Yunmo was suddenly stunned, but quickly recovered.

"Okay, let's do it this way."

Ye Zhaoyu's investigation outside was faster than theirs, and she was less likely to arouse suspicion.
