Her question sounded a bit strange, and Assistant Ding frowned.
He always comes to the Qi family alone and rarely comes with other people, right?
Now that the threat of being exposed was imminent, Qu Jingyun no longer had time to beat around the bush. She had bumped into Assistant Ding at the door of the study last night anyway, so she simply used the excuse to ask openly:
"I heard Mingyuan getting really angry at the door of his study last night. Didn't he ask you to find someone for him today? I saw you came alone again today. Didn't you find anyone? Mingyuan's health isn't as good as it used to be. It's not good to keep making him angry like this!"
Hearing that Qu Jingyun was concerned about Qi Mingyuan's health, Assistant Ding's brows relaxed a little, and after a moment's hesitation, he replied:
"The person... has been found, but there are some special circumstances."
After hearing what Qu Jingyun said, he was not sure how Qi Mingyuan would react when he found out that someone was dead, and he suddenly felt uneasy.
When he heard that the person had been found, Qu Jingyun's expression immediately became nervous, and even his voice unconsciously became much sharper:
"Found it? Then, where is that person?"
Assistant Ding had not intended to tell her about that person's situation, but Qu Jingyun had always been difficult to deal with. If she didn't tell him, he might not let him go. So she lowered her voice and said:
"The man is dead."
He quickly reminded:
"Madam, it's fine for you to know this, but you must not tell anyone about it, or you'll get yourself into trouble."
Qu Jingyun nodded slowly with a look of shock on his face, but his heart was filled with excitement——
Dead! Du Anping is really dead!
That’s great. Now she doesn’t have to worry about Qi Mingyuan finding out about what she did in the past, and Du Anping can no longer use those things to blackmail her!
She was free from then on, completely free from that demon, she was finally free!
Assistant Ding saw that she was standing there in silence, and thought she was scared, so he didn't say anything more:
"Madam, I'm going to go upstairs and reply to Mr. Qi first."
Qu Jingyun didn't answer, and Assistant Ding went upstairs on his own.
After he left, Qu Jingyun, who was facing the stairs, suddenly broke into a bright smile. But the next second, two tears flowed down her cheeks, which she quickly wiped away with her hands. The corners of her mouth, which were still raised, looked particularly weird and creepy.
The air pressure in the study is very low.
Assistant Ding carefully reported today's situation to Qi Mingyuan. After listening, he kept a sullen face and said nothing.
If what Qi Mingyuan thought was true, the person who hired the private detective to take photos was most likely Qu Jingyun or Qi Guangyao. Given Qi Guangyao's performance in recent days, he felt that it was more likely to be Qu Jingyun.
But Qi Mingyuan didn't think either of them would have the courage to kill to silence them.
A pampered rich lady and a young boy who is still in school, dare to kill someone?
Qi Mingyuan felt that even if these two people were asked to work together to kill a chicken, they would not be able to do it!
This actually greatly reduced the suspicion of Qu Jingyun and Qi Guangyao in his mind.
Qi Mingyuan had to think about other possibilities. Could it be that a business rival really did it?
Only those people can be so cruel and ruthless, using any means to achieve their goals. Who hasn’t had blood on their hands in these years of doing business?
"Okay, I understand. Let's end this matter here and don't mention it again."
......
After winding around and around the mountain road, the soles of Shao Jingque's small leather shoes had been worn out by the rugged mountain road. Walking on the road felt like walking barefoot on sharp stones, and every step was excruciatingly painful.
After much difficulty, they met an old man driving a bullock cart, who kindly gave them a ride.
After she got in the car, she took off her shoes and saw that her heels were covered with finger-sized blisters that had broken. How could it not hurt when the tender flesh without the protection of the epidermis rubbed against the leather surface?
Wang Tao saw that her heels were rubbed to a bloody mess and felt the pain just looking at it. He didn't know how Shao Jingque had persisted just now and didn't say a word the whole way.
Shao Jingque frowned. This was the most convenient pair of flat leather shoes in her suitcase. If she had known that the soles were so fragile, she might as well have gone to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a pair of rubber-soled Liberation shoes before leaving, so that they wouldn't be in such a state after walking so long.
There were no hemostatic patches or anything like that at the time. Getting blisters was a small matter, but she was afraid that it would hurt and cause her to limp, slowing down her pace.
She thought about it and simply picked up the heel of her shoe and started knocking on the wooden board of the ox cart, which startled Wang Tao and the old man driving the cart.
The old man felt distressed when he saw this:
"Nier, what are you doing? Why are you smashing such nice shoes? How can you wear them if they are broken? What a pity!"
Wang Tao also thought she was taking her anger out on her leather shoes, and quickly tried to dissuade her:
"Sister-in-law, don't be angry. It's not far. We'll be there after we go over this hill and down the slope."
Shao Jingque explained with a smile:
"I'm not angry. The soles of these leather shoes are thin and the heels are hard. I'll soften the heels and then they won't rub my feet when I walk on them."
So that's what happened. Wang Tao nodded. His sister-in-law would definitely find a solution.
Only the old man driving the cart was still distressed:
"What a shame! Such nice leather shoes, it's a shame to break them!"
Shao Jingque smiled with sparkling eyes, not showing any sign of being affected by the pain in his feet:
"Master, it's not a pity. As long as I can see the person I want to see sooner, I'd even run there barefoot!"
When they reached the fork in the road, Shao Jingque and the other man waved goodbye to the old man driving the ox cart.
This was the last leg of the journey. After walking downhill, they arrived at their destination - the Henan Provincial Military District Disaster Relief Command.
After three days, Shao Jingque finally stood at the gate of the military area. She couldn't help but feel excited. She was finally going to see Lu Zhan!
All the fatigue and pain from the past few days were completely forgotten at this moment. He was as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, and was just waiting to report with the young soldier so that he could go to the military hospital immediately.
Thinking that she would see Lu Zhan soon, Shao Jingque subconsciously gathered her messy hair with her hands, and touched her face, feeling inexplicably nervous.
After the little soldier finished registering, he came over and called her:
"Sister-in-law, let's go, Captain Fan is waiting for us!"
Shao Jingque nodded, thinking that he was meeting Lu Zhan's leader after all, and didn't want to tarnish Lu Zhan's reputation because of his unkempt appearance from days of traveling, so he endured the pain and pulled up his heels again.
"Report!"
"Come in!"
Shao Jingque followed the young soldier into the office and discovered that in addition to a middle-aged man with a majestic air, there was also a short-haired female officer with a capable temperament standing next to the desk.
The two people's eyes met unexpectedly, and the female officer, just like Shao Jingque, looked at each other.
