Old Master Qin sighed, "After the Tang family incident, I went to find He Xiufen, hoping she would leave Xia Country."
“After all, she is Hongyi’s biological mother and Heye’s grandmother. There’s no need to go to the last step. I’ll just negotiate with her.”
"We started talking about some things from back then..."
After the Tang family incident, Old Master Qin visited He Xiufen a total of five times.
But He Xiufen only asked that Dai Li and Qin He have a child together, and that they leave Xia Country once Dai Li becomes pregnant.
How could Old Master Qin possibly agree to such a thing? So he stopped trying to have a proper talk and gave He Xiufen a warning.
He said that if He Xiufen didn't leave Xia Guo, then he shouldn't blame him for being impolite.
As a result, Dai Li jumped to her death.
Later, some online sources claimed that Old Master Qin had forced Dai Li to commit suicide.
After Dai Li's death, He Xiufen softened her attitude and talked to Grandpa Qin about what happened back then.
It turns out that He Xiufen had a lover back then. She didn't want to marry Old Master Qin, but the Qin family forced her, and the He family also forced her.
Her lover was beaten to death, his body was thrown out of the capital, and his whole family was driven out of the capital. Only then did she have no choice but to marry Old Master Qin.
Therefore, He Xiufen hated the Qin family and Old Master Qin, which is why she absconded with the money and went abroad shortly after giving birth to Qin Hongyi.
After discussing these matters, the car had already arrived at the Qin family's old residence.
Shi Ning was stunned. "He Xiufen, is all of this true?"
Old Master Qin's eyes widened. "In the past, marriages were always arranged by strangers. My marriage to her was also a kind of arranged marriage. We even met twice before the wedding."
“I never heard her mention having any lovers. If I had known this, why would I have married her? Our Qin family wouldn’t have gone so far as to break someone’s legs and drive them out of the capital.”
Grandpa Qin got angrier and angrier as he spoke, “Even though I’m old now, I was a handsome man for miles around when I was young.”
“Our Qin family is not short of money, I am good-looking, and I am not short of girls chasing after me. I don’t like her, so why would I force her to marry me?”
Shi Ning looked Qin up and down. Although he was old, his hair was white and his face was covered with wrinkles.
He still looks quite ethereal and otherworldly; judging by his bone structure alone, he certainly wasn't ugly when he was young.
The Qin family's height is all hereditary; 180cm is the shortest they've ever had.
The Qin family has a history of forcing love, but Old Master Qin doesn't like He Xiufen, so there's no need to force her into marriage.
The He family is now unknown. Back then, they were just small landlords with a little money, but they were later beaten.
There was no need for the Qin family to insist on a marriage alliance with the He family, and they even killed someone for it.
There is only one possibility: the He family coveted the Qin family and sold their daughter for personal gain.
Qin Heye thought so too: "He Xiufen deliberately brought up the past, edited the video, and deliberately let people expose her grandfather online."
"The only way to find out the truth about what happened back then is to start with the He family and their lover."
Old Master Qin was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. "He Xiufen is a real scourge. I didn't even blame her for abandoning her son and running away with the money."
"She's got the nerve to cause trouble even when she's about to die."
"I must have had a terrible upbringing to marry a woman like her..."
Although He Xiufen was dead, Old Master Qin was still angry.
There's no way to stop hatred when someone dies and the lights go out.
Because He Xiufen used her death to set a trap for Old Master Qin and the Qin family.
Shi Ning and the others didn't stop Old Master Qin from cursing. He had been in the police station for a few days and was feeling very frustrated, so he vented his anger.
It is beneficial to physical and mental health.
We entered the old house.
Grandpa Qin went to take a shower and change his clothes first.
The group ate with him again, and only dispersed after he went to rest.
Before leaving, Shi Guoqiang told Shi Ning, "You don't need to worry too much. Your grandparents are also helping you secretly."
"Your father-in-law will be cleared of all charges sooner or later. You should get some rest."
Shi Ning chuckled, "I know, Dad. You don't need to worry about me. He Ye and I know what we're doing."
Shi Guoqiang looked at Shi Ning, who had transformed from a willful and rebellious daughter who only talked back to him in just one year.
They've grown into adults who remain calm in the face of adversity, have their own opinions, and can stand on their own.
Thinking like that.
Shi Guoqiang suddenly felt a pang of sadness, "Waaah..."
He suddenly burst into tears, completely stunning Shi Ning: ? ? ?
The giant tortoise, leading its family of four, looked up in bewilderment: ? ? ?
Butler Zhao skillfully took out a silk handkerchief from his breast pocket and handed it to Shi Guoqiang.
Then, he looked up and explained to Shi Ning, "Miss, don't worry. Mr. Shi was just expressing his feelings. You've grown up, and he misses you when you were little, the little girl who would cry and look for her father whenever something happened."
Shi Ning: ...
She's just a young lady from a wealthy family.
Shi Ning looked at Shi Guoqiang awkwardly, "Don't cry, or I won't call you Dad anymore."
Was she crying because she was growing up?
How embarrassing!
Shi Guoqiang let out a sob, stopping his crying too quickly, and then hiccuped.
Shi Ning: ...
He turned around and quickly went into the living room.
You know what, she has such a crybaby dad.
Shi Guoqiang felt like crying again as he watched Shi Ning turn and leave.
Butler Zhao quickly reminded him, "Mr. Shi, don't cry, or Miss Shi won't want you anymore."
Shi Guoqiang: !!!
He had to pretend to be strong!
"Let's go, buy two cups of milk tea, I need to go find my wife."
His wife wouldn't leave him just because he cried; she would only think he was being mistreated outside.
You can't cry in front of others, but you can cry in front of your wife.
...
Shi Ning went upstairs.
Qin Heye had just come out of Old Master Qin's room.
She lowered her voice and asked, "Is Grandpa asleep?"
Qin Heye hummed in agreement, “It’s not home after all. Even if I’m not mistreated, I still can’t get proper rest. I was afraid we would worry, so I kept forcing myself to stay awake.”
After all, it's at the police station, even though we've already been informed.
But how could one possibly eat and sleep well in that kind of environment?
Besides, Grandpa Qin is so old; if it weren't for his regular morning exercise, which has made him much stronger, he wouldn't be able to keep up with his health.
Maybe they'll go straight to the hospital after they get out.
Fearing that Shi Ning would worry, Qin Heye said, "This matter will be resolved soon."
"However, there is a slight problem at the moment. He Xiufen's phone has been repaired."
"But her phone's memory was professionally overwritten and then restored to factory settings, and this cycle repeated."
Generally speaking, a phone can be restored to factory settings and its data can be recovered by a professional.
But He Xiufen's method involves first filling up the memory, then restoring factory settings, and then continuing to download software, filling up the memory again, and then restoring factory settings once more...
Repeat this process ten or more times to completely cover it up.
The chances of recovering the original data are virtually zero.
Shi Ning frowned upon hearing this, "Then the data can't be recovered, and the original video can't be found?"
