Yin Xiaoan also frowned when he heard this. Looking at his daughter's uneasy eyes, he lowered his eyes and fell silent.
"dad?"
"Xiao Xi, if I say there is a relationship, what will you think of Qin Yan?" Yin Xiaoan asked.
Ning Xi's heart suddenly became nervous.
How could it be related?
Could it be that Butler Qi deceived Qin Yan?
"Dad, is there any misunderstanding here? Qin Yan found out that his father was deceived by someone. Maybe he was framed." Ning Xi said hurriedly.
Yin Xiaoan looked at her speaking for Qin Zhili, and felt a bit bitter in his heart.
My own little cotton-padded jacket was snatched away by a pig before I could even wear it for a single day.
Although he understood that Qin Yan was treating her very well now and was someone worthy of trust.
But, as an old father, I feel very sad.
However, thinking about the twenty-eight years he had missed, he had no right to think like that, so he could only suppress these thoughts.
"When I was investigating their gang, I did find Qin Zhili. He helped them open up the cargo transportation checkpoints from N Province to H City and then to Donghaikou for smuggling goods out to sea." Yin Xiaoan said.
When Ning Xi heard this, her heart sank.
"But, Ah Yan said..."
"Xiao Xi, finish what you are saying after listening to it." Yin Xiaoan interrupted her.
Ning Xi quickly shut her mouth.
"Although I found out that it was Qin Zhili who helped them transport the smuggled goods, when I met him, I also felt that this matter might not be that simple."
"When I arrived at Pier No. 1, I only saw Liu Xisheng. They had set up an ambush, so they attacked me not long after I arrived."
"They knocked me unconscious, arrested me, and took the formula from me.
When I woke up, there were two more people beside Liu Xisheng, one of whom was Qin Zhili.
But he is different from the Qin Zhili in my investigation. He seems to have just met Liu Xisheng and Morita.
Morita asked him to kill me.
While they were arguing, the gun in Qin Zhili's hand went off accidentally, hitting the ground next to me, and the bullet ricocheted and hit my head."
Then, this is what Ning Lan saw.
Thinking he was dead, they threw him off the dock.
But he didn't expect that he was not destined to die. With the last bit of consciousness he had, he grabbed a piece of wood that was rushing towards him.
Not long after, he was rescued by Mrs. Norman and others downstream.
"Dad, are you saying that the person who was with Liu Xisheng at that time was called Morita?" Ning Xi said.
Isn’t it Rong’an Country?
“Yes, the spy I’m tracking down is him. He was sent to our side by the left-wing Morita family in the early years.
In fact, the so-called formula also came from the laboratory that their family had set up here before.
It's just that when the Anti-Japanese War was won, they fled and hid these things. He came here to find these harmful things."
But at that time, he had no idea that Morita had such an intention, and had even colluded with the criminals here and infiltrated Zhao Yingliang, which led to him being ambushed.
So that's how it is.
However, Ning Xi had a more specific guess about Qin Zhili's reaction.
"Dad, is it possible that this is the first time Qin Zhili knows about this?" she asked.
"How do you say that?"
“In fact, the Qin family’s housekeeper said that he went to Province N with Qin Zhili because Qin Zhili received news that his brother Qin Mingzhi had been kidnapped.
Qin Mingzhi is Qin Yan's current uncle. By the way, Dad, do you know Rong Anguo?" Ning Xi asked hurriedly.
"Rong Anguo?" Yin Xiaoan frowned and thought for a moment, then shook his head and said, "I've never heard of this name. Who is he?"
"He is Qin Yan's uncle, but we suspect he has something to do with what happened back then. He and Qin Mingzhi have a very good relationship, so we suspect it might be Qin Mingzhi, but he used Qin Zhili's name as a cover."
Ning Xi told him about her previous speculation with Qin Yan.
Yin Xiaoan fell into deep thought upon hearing this. He had never heard of Rong Anguo's name, but he knew that Liu Xisheng did have a superior above him. However, that person was very cautious and would never show up on his own, and he was not in Province N at all.
But Rong...why did he feel like he had heard this word mentioned before?
Yin Xiaoan was thinking, but his injury had not healed completely yet, and he got a headache whenever he thought about it.
Seeing Yin Xiaoan rubbing his temple subconsciously, Ning Xi knew that his brain couldn't handle too much pressure yet, so she interrupted him and said, "Forget it, let's look into these things later. I'll get you some water to wash your face. You should get some rest early."
As he spoke, Ning Xi stood up.
"Call your aunt over here. Stop busying yourself and take care of your health in the future." Yin Xiaoan hurriedly stopped her.
Then he couldn't help but take a look at her visibly bulging belly.
"Take good care of yourself in the future," he said.
Ning Xi knew that he cared about her, so she didn't try to be stubborn. She called Aunt Fang over, then helped Yin Xiaoan get water to wash his face and soak his feet. Then she waited for him to lie down again before leaving his room.
She went to Shuo Shuo's room to check again, and only after making sure that the child was sleeping well did she return to her room with peace of mind.
Then, just as I finished washing, I heard the sound of a car engine approaching.
Ning Xi hurried to the semicircular floor-to-ceiling window and looked out. Seeing that it was Qin Yan who had returned, she turned around, put on her bathrobe, and went downstairs.
Qin Yan had just entered the house and changed his shoes when he heard a sound coming from the stairs. He looked up and saw Ning Xi walking down in a milky white bathrobe.
