One careless move could easily displease the powerful figures. Although there might be no immediate consequences, the consequences afterward are far beyond what ordinary people can imagine. A single word from these powerful figures can determine the life or death of the manor!
Fortunately, my boss has connections, but... it's never a bad thing to be cautious in advance.
Qian You and his sister Qian Xiaomei, who were walking at the back, tugged at the manager after the old man had entered the room:
"You go ahead with your work, there's nothing needed here for the time being."
The manager certainly wouldn't stay there any longer; he was just getting in the way.
"Okay, goodbye Mr. and Miss Qian."
Watching the manager leave, Qian Xiaomei nudged her brother's arm:
"Brother, did Grandpa ask you to do something?"
Qian You glanced at his younger sister:
How did you know?
Qian Xiaomei snorted, her face clearly saying, "How could I not know?"
"I knew it, okay? Your face has been as dark as the bottom of a pot for the past few days, okay?"
Therefore, a younger sister understands her older brother better.
Qian You frowned:
"If you know, then don't bring it up casually, especially in front of Grandpa."
"Why? It's nothing serious, it's just that Grandpa suspects that guy from the Gu family..."
Before Qian Xiaomei could finish speaking, her brother covered her mouth with his hand.
"Mmm~"
"Quiet, Qian Xiaomei, you've got some nerve! You actually dared to eavesdrop? Tell me, what else do you know?"
While questioning him, he pulled the person to the side and moved them several meters away before stopping.
Qian Xiaomei yanked her brother's hand away and spat several times:
Did you wash your hands? Why are you covering someone's mouth?
Qian You was even less polite:
"Disgusted? When you were a kid, you didn't disgust me when you snatched food from your own brother's hand."
That's a lie... We were ignorant when we were young, how can it be compared to now?
"Let's get down to business. When did you eavesdrop? How much did you hear? Qian Xiaomei, I'm warning you, this is something you absolutely cannot bring up lightly, or you have no idea what the consequences will be!"
It's not just about my own grandfather's side; the main problem is that the matter is too complicated, and there's no real-time evidence. Every step we've taken is based on conjecture.
If my younger sister really can't keep her mouth shut and tells others, then the whole Qian family will be in trouble.
The Qian family had retired from the limelight for forty years, and it was only with great difficulty that they returned to the scene. There were still countless people watching them from the shadows.
The older Grandpa gets, the more obsessed he becomes with that incident. He's determined to find the person responsible, or he won't be able to die in peace.
The Qian family has already invested a lot of manpower and resources in investigating that incident, but now is not the right time to leak information.
My family strongly encouraged me to come to this resort this time.
This place is far from the city center, which means it's far from those things. It's a good place for the old man to rest and recuperate. Otherwise, if he continues to worry about it, who knows what might happen!
Qian Xiaomei hummed a few times:
"Brother, is this really that serious?"
All I want to do is find someone.
Since you have doubts, why not just go and verify it? It's that simple.
Indeed, it sounds simple, but it's not so simple to actually do it.
Given the past, the current identities of everyone involved, and the families and relationships behind them, we can't just do whatever we want without substantial evidence.
