Chapter 239 Bad News
After getting off the plane, Qin Qing wanted to say goodbye to Wen Shishi, but unexpectedly, Wen Shishi came over to her.
"Sister Qing, I don't have anything to do right now. I'll go with you to find my brother-in-law first."
Her face was full of sincerity. Qin Qing thought about how to refuse for a long time, but in the end she didn't say it out loud and could only nod.
"Oh well."
"Then where is Sister Qing's address? I'll take you there."
Qin Qing gave the address Li Ran gave her to Wen Shishi. Wen Shishi took the address and looked at it, but her expression changed slightly. Her emotions were always written on her face, and Qin Qing noticed this.
"What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
"Anyone who can live in this place must be of extraordinary status. Let's go and get a taxi."
Wen Shishi took Qin Qing into a taxi and headed to Xizi Hutong, the address Li Ran had left behind.
Qin Qing had been to Kyoto in her previous life, brought there by Gu Jingmo. Back then, she had held onto beautiful visions of the future, but she never imagined he would lead her into a bottomless abyss. This time, she came to find Fang Zhiwei, and the closer she got to Xizi Hutong, the more anxious she became.
She knew better than Wen Shishi that those who could live in Xizi Hutong were all well-connected people with high official positions! If it were in the past, she would not want to be associated with such people.
"We're here. It's in front. I can't go in. You guys go in on your own."
The driver drove the car to the entrance of Xizi Hutong and stopped.
Qin Qing and her group got off the car and followed the information on the address all the way to No. 9 Xizi Hutong.
"Sister Qing, this is the family, right?"
Wen Shishi looked at Qin Qing and nodded. She reached out to knock on the door, but was suddenly stopped by Qin Qing, "Wait!"
"What's wrong?"
Wen Shishi looked at Qin Qing in confusion. Qin Qing patted her chest to calm down. Finally, she mustered up her courage, walked to the door, and knocked three times.
There was no response at first, so Qin Qing knocked three more times, and then she heard brisk footsteps coming from inside.
"Who is it?"
A female voice was heard, and the door slowly opened. Qin Qing saw the woman standing at the door, and her expression changed instantly. They both exclaimed at the same time.
"Qin Qing?"
"Ning Keqing?"
Both of them looked at each other in shock. Qin Qing had not expected to meet Ning Keqing again here.
She thought that the address left by Li Ran would be his contact address, but she never expected that Ning Keqing would be here.
"Are you...looking for Li Ran?"
Qin Qing asked, but Ning Keqing shook her head. "No, this is my home. But you, how do you know my address?"
"Li Ran gave it to me."
Qin Qing suddenly thought that with Ning Keqing's relationship with Fang Zhiwei, she might also know Fang Zhiwei's whereabouts, so she asked, "Miss Ning, do you know where Fang Zhiwei is?"
"Are you here to see Fang Zhiwei?"
When Fang Zhiwei was mentioned, Ning Keqing's expression became a little strange. When she asked this, Qin Qing nodded.
"He was injured in Shishu and returned to Kyoto. I haven't heard from him since, so I thought I'd come to Kyoto to see him. Do you know where he is?"
"You... go inside and talk first."
Ning Keqing did not answer Qin Qing's question immediately, but led the three of them into the house.
After arriving in the living room, she poured hot tea for the three of them, and finally sat down opposite Qin Qing. After thinking for a long time, she spoke.
"You don't actually need to look for him. I've already told you that Fang Zhiwei is going to rejoin the team."
"I married him."
Qin Qing said firmly. Seeing her serious expression, Ning Keqing asked back, "Have you got your marriage certificate yet?"
When she asked this, Qin Qing shook her head.
"I knew you didn't have one. Fang Zhiwei's household registration is in Kyoto, so there's no way he can get a marriage certificate with you. So the wedding banquet you held doesn't count."
Qin Qing nodded after Ning Keqing said this, but she quickly reacted.
"How do you know we just had a banquet?"
Ning Keqing's eyes slightly wrinkled at her question, but she quickly adjusted her hair and said, "Have you forgotten that when I came here last time, Fang Zhiwei told me that you were going to hold a banquet?"
"Oh, that's true."
Qin Qing remembered that Fang Zhiwei had told Ning Keqing about it and asked her if she wanted to participate, but she left in a hurry and there was no further news.
"But now I just want to know if he's okay..."
"Do you really have to know?"
Ning Keqing sighed and asked Qin Qing.
Qin Qing looked at her with a strange expression from the beginning, and now she asked this question.
"Yes, I must know!"
"I think so. If you don't find out, you probably won't give up."
Ning Keqing slowly stood up and looked at Qin Qing and said, "Fang Zhiwei is dead. Within three days of his return to Kyoto, his condition worsened. Even my grandfather was unable to save him."
"Dead? Fang Zhiwei...dead?"
Hearing this, Qin Qing felt like she was struck by a bolt from the blue. With a bang, she froze in place.
Wen Shishi snorted, "Ning's miraculous doctor, his medical skills are unrivaled in the world. How serious must this illness be to leave Old Master Ning helpless?"
Ning Keqing turned her head and glanced at Wen Shishi in surprise, as if she had not expected that she would also understand the Ning family's background.
"My grandfather isn't a god. Fang Zhiwei's injuries are too severe, and all his internal organs are damaged. He really can't be saved."
There was a hint of indifference and dissatisfaction in her tone, as if she was very unhappy with Wen Shishi's questioning.
"Even if they're dead, after all this time, there should be a grave. Could you at least take us to see it?"
Wen Shishi also had a look of doubt on her face. She had heard from Lei Zi that Fang Zhiwei was very powerful. Although he was seriously injured, he was sent back to Kyoto immediately. How could he just disappear without even a single piece of news coming?
"He's at the Martyrs' Cemetery. You can go see him if you want."
As if she had anticipated such a request long ago, Ning Keqing spoke very calmly.
"Of course we have to go and see it. Please take us there!"
Wen Shishi stood up and looked straight at Ning Keqing.
Ning Keqing took a step forward and said, "Let's go."
Judging from her intention, she didn't retreat. Wen Shishi was about to leave when Qin Qing suddenly stood up, "Ms. Ning, where is Li Ran? Where is he? I want to see him."
Qin Qing's face turned pale. She refused to believe Ning Keqing's words. If that was true, why hadn't Li Ran given her the news? Why had he kept it a secret for so long? She had to see Li Ran. Only what he said would convince her.
"Li Ran was sent on a mission. He left you my address because he probably anticipated that he would not be there when you found Kyoto." Ning Keqing answered calmly.
"When will he be back?"
"That... I don't know either. After all, this is their secret mission, so I can't possibly know that much."
Ning Keqing's words were flawless, but Qin Qing just didn't want to believe it.
"Okay, then I'll wait for him in Kyoto. You'll know if he comes back, right?"
Ning Keqing nodded, "If he comes back, I will have news."
"That's good. When he comes back, I want to see him and hear what he has to say in person. Miss Ning, I'm sorry for disturbing you today. Goodbye."
Qin Qing bent down to thank Ning Keqing, her beautiful little face full of frost. After she finished speaking, she turned around and walked out.
"Hey, don't you want to go to the cemetery?" Ning Keqing asked.
