Chapter 712: Brother Iceberg, His Identity Revealed
Jiujiu was sixteen years old, wasn’t that ten years ago?
Ten years ago, Jiujiu was really listed on the Shanghai Stock Exchange!
Ruan Qi's heart began to pound violently. She grabbed the phone and asked Wen Ran, "So what happened next? Did Jiujiu return to the capital?"
"No, he didn't."
Ruan Qi frowned: "No reply?"
"Yes." Wen Ran said slowly, "When Xi Jiu was sixteen, the old Patriarch of the Xi family cleaned out the side branches of the Xi family and made preparations to bring Xi Jiu back. But then, someone unknown happened. Not only did the old Patriarch not take Xi Jiu back, he even went to Shanghai and stayed there for several months. When he returned, Xi Jiu was not with him. Xi Jiu did not return to the imperial capital until two years later, when he was eighteen."
When Ruan Qi heard Wen Ran's words, her brows furrowed tighter and tighter.
The Xi family's side branches have been cleared out, and as the only heir, Jiujiu should immediately return to the Xi family to take charge of the overall situation.
But why did he return to the imperial capital two whole years late?
What happened to him in the Shanghai Stock Exchange in the past two years?
Ruan Qi felt vaguely uneasy. Somehow, the image of Brother Bingshan sinking to the bottom of the lake appeared in her mind again.
She hadn't fully recovered this memory, and she still couldn't recall what Brother Bingshan looked like. But Ruan Qi clearly remembered the scene where Brother Bingshan was hit on the head by those ancient warriors in order to save her.
First his head was smashed, and then he was sunk to the bottom of the lake. No one with flesh and blood could withstand such a severe injury, right?
If Jiujiu is really an iceberg brother, then the reason why he returned to the capital two years late could be...
Ruan Qi didn't dare to think about it anymore.
She tried hard to suppress her uneasiness and asked Wen Ran, "Brother Wen Ran, when did Grandpa Xi go to the Shanghai Stock Exchange ten years ago? Did you find out?"
Wen Ran: "We found out. Patriarch Xi concealed his whereabouts back then, and it took our people some effort to dig it out. He went to Shanghai on August 16th."
Ruan Qi's heart sank suddenly.
Qiu Weiren said that she was taken to Xiaoyao Manor on August 15th, ten years ago.
And Brother Iceberg was drowned in the lake in order to save her, probably on the same day.
In other words, Brother Bingshan had the accident on the 15th, and Mr. Xi flew to Shanghai on the 16th.
As soon as Brother Bingshan got into trouble, Mr. Xi went to Shanghai.
Isn't this too coincidental?
When there are too many coincidences, some things are no longer accidental, but inevitable.
Ruan Qi's suspicions about Xi Jiu's identity grew more and more certain. She thought for a moment and said to Wen Ran, "Brother Wen Ran, please help me investigate one more thing."
"What are you checking?"
"Check the admission records of all hospitals in Shanghai from August ten years ago. Focus on investigating serious male cases with severe brain injuries and lung infections." Ruan Qi paused before adding, "Also check the records of Imperial Capital Hospital, especially those between August 15th and 20th."
With Mr. Xi's methods, it would be easy to erase Xi Jiu's identity information. However, as long as Xi Jiu had been hospitalized, the hospital would definitely keep records of his medical records, medication, and surgery.
Therefore, instead of investigating which hospital Xi Jiu had been treated, it would be better to investigate the admission details of major hospitals in August of that year.
Brother Bingshan had suffered a severe brain injury, and it's possible that his lungs were infected after being sunk to the bottom of the lake. There aren't many critically ill patients who possess both of these characteristics. If we follow this clue, we'll definitely uncover Jiujiu's identity.
