The real daughter's eyes turned red, and the big guys went crazy

How could such an embarrassing scene be seen by the servants?

In her mind, she and Long Junye were the only masters of this villa, and the others were servants.

Chunyan said cautiously, "I came over to drink some water. I just came and saw that you didn't look well, so I asked you on purpose."

"I'm fine. The young master seemed to be in a bad mood and I was just a little worried." Shen Ruyue explained herself.

Chunyan followed her thoughts and said, "I see, I'm glad you're okay. The young master must be worried about Qiao Xi, and Qiao Xi is the same. He left for no reason. I guess they had a fight. It's best to get a divorce. The young master is such a good man. I think only you, Sister Ruyue, can be worthy of him."

"Really?" Shen Ruyue also thought so. It was a pity that Long Junye didn't know what was good and just liked Qiao Xi, the country bumpkin. "He will figure it out."

"Of course, the young master is a smart man and will understand who is the most suitable for him." Chunyan flattered him, but she was actually under a lot of pressure. She had never been able to give Long Junye the medicine that Yue Mingzhu asked her to take.

Yue Mingzhu was already suspicious of her and said that if she failed, she would first have her brother expelled from school and then send him to northern Myanmar.

But Long Junye was not so easy to deal with. She had no idea where to start. Qiao Xi was very sensitive to drugs and could easily be discovered. Now that Qiao Xi was gone and Long Junye almost never ate at home, it was difficult for her to find an opportunity.

Shen Ruyue looked at the master bedroom on the second floor, feeling very unwilling. She would take down Long Junye sooner or later.

Long Junye threw away the quilt, sheets and pillow that Shen Ruyue had slept on, replaced the bed with a clean one, and then lay down to sleep.

The bed still had the scent of Qiao Xi. Whenever he turned over, he would instinctively want to hug her, but every time he hugged her he ended up in vain. He was sure that he really missed her.

But his parents' faces would always appear in his mind, and his mother's scolding in his dreams would bother him, making him miss Qiao Xi but unable to beg her to come back.

Qiao Xi stayed in Chu Lan's guest room, a deluxe double room that was big enough for two people.

It was already very late, and she was scrolling through the videos on her phone, a little absent-minded. They had agreed to separate, but she just couldn't let go.

The ringing of a phone call disrupted her thoughts.

Qiao Xi was startled, but found that it was Xie Sheng who called, "Big Brother, is there something wrong?"

Xie Sheng's call was definitely not just for casual chat, "Xiao Xi, I found some new clues..."

Qiao Xi was stunned for a moment, "New clue?"

Xie Sheng, "Yes, I asked someone to look for the prison guard who was in charge of Qiao Jinnian's case, and I happened to find the prison guard who took Qiao Jinnian's body to the wild and buried it."

"After questioning for a long time, he finally revealed something. Qiao Jinnian did not commit suicide. Instead, he was strangled to death and the scene was made to look like suicide."

Qiao Xi was a little excited, "I've thought of this a long time ago. My father couldn't have committed suicide. He must have been killed by someone."

Xie Sheng, "You are right. The prison guard who took him to the mass grave happened to have some friendship with Qiao Jinnian. He said that Qiao Jinnian was just pretending to be dead due to suffocation and cardiac arrest."

Qiao Xi's chest tightened, "You mean, my dad is not dead?"

Xie Sheng, "It's possible. The prison guard's name is Wei Gang. He must have received favors from Qiao Jinnian. He was the one who offered to bury Qiao Jinnian."

"He said that after carrying Qiao Jinnian to the mountain, he found that he was not dead. It was raining heavily at the time, so he asked another prison guard to go to take shelter first and took the opportunity to hide Qiao Jinnian. After the other prison guard left, he came back and sent Qiao Jinnian to a small hospital in the suburbs."

"Qiao Jinnian was seriously injured, but for some reason he secretly ran away from the hospital at night. Wei Gang looked for him but couldn't find him."

"It was night time, and the nurses and doctors on duty didn't notice it. No one knew what happened, but Wei Gang said that he was so badly injured that he would not survive if he left the hospital."

"So no one knows whether he is still alive or not. Wei Gang has never seen Qiao Jinnian since then. The police have also concluded that Qiao Jinnian committed suicide out of fear of punishment, so no one is pursuing the matter any further."

Qiao Xi almost held her breath as she listened. "That is to say, my father is very likely still alive. Otherwise, there would be no trace at all. Where would he go?"

Xie Sheng was also unclear. "That's unknown. Maybe he met a master, or maybe... it's hard to say. Anyway, these are what I found out."

"Okay, Senior Brother, thank you." A new hope ignited in Qiao Xi's heart. If her father was still alive, then what happened back then would be known to the world.

She got the prison guard's number from Xie Sheng and planned to find time to meet him.

"Xiao Xi, how have you been lately?" Xie Sheng has been very busy, but he always pays attention to Qiao Xi's situation. This little sister from Yaowang Valley has always been the one that several of his senior brothers care about the most.

Qiao Xi didn't want to worry her senior brother, "I'm fine. Long Junye's leg has been cured. I have repaid his kindness. Next, I will go find my father. If he is still alive, I will definitely find him."

"Okay, I'll ask people to continue looking for her." Xie Sheng said some more caring words and hung up the phone.

Qiao Xi took a deep breath. If that was true, that would be great!

Chu Lan just came out of the bathroom, wearing a silk nightgown, "Have you called Long Junye? Is he asking you to come back again?"

Qiao Xi shook her head, "No, it was my senior brother. He said that my father might still be alive."

Chu Lan was stunned for a moment, "Are you talking about Qiao Jinnian? How is that possible?!"

Qiao Xi also felt that it was unlikely and repeated what she had just said.

"Then where would he be?" Chu Lan analyzed, "Maybe he was rescued by someone. He must have done a lot of good things at that time. It must be that the people he helped helped him again. With his ability, he should be able to achieve something."

"But his identity doesn't allow him to show up, so maybe he's living under another identity. What do you think?"

Qiao Xi didn't know either, but Chu Lan was good at making up storylines. "Maybe. He is indeed very capable. If he is still alive, he can't be doing nothing."

Chu Lan was a little excited. "Maybe he is just like you, arming himself and planning revenge?"

"It's getting more and more outrageous." Qiao Xi sighed, "In fact, as long as he can live well, it's enough. I'll take care of the rest!"

"He must be alive and well, don't worry, baby." Chu Lan climbed onto another bed and leaned against it. "If he is still alive, he can explain what happened that year and expose Yue Mingzhu's conspiracy!"

Qiao Xi didn't know whether the truth of the matter was designed by Yue Mingzhu or it was just like that, but she really wanted to find out.

The fact that Qiao Jinnian might still be alive is the greatest comfort to her.

There was silence on the phone again. Long Junye hadn't even called. Alas, I had already moved out, so why should I keep thinking about him?

But some people can't just let go just like that!

She had just moved out but she was already not used to it and started to miss him.

……

When she woke up in the morning, Shen Ruyue prepared a sumptuous breakfast for Long Junye as if nothing had happened. "Junye, it's time for breakfast."

"I'll go back to the company to eat." Long Junye walked straight away. He was already able to drive by himself, and Gao Han did not come to pick him up.

Shen Ruyue secretly felt lucky that she had not been kicked out. She sat at the dining table and enjoyed the food alone, just like the hostess of this house.

Long Junye drove the car to the underground parking lot.

When getting off the car, Gu Wenqian walked towards him, "Brother-in-law, why do you come to work alone? Where is my sister?"

When Long Junye saw her, he thought of Qiao Jinnian and his wife. Yes, Gu Wenqian was Qiao Jinnian and his wife’s biological daughter!
