After Miss Lu became the only one to enjoy the limelight, her six brothers knelt down and begged for

Qin Xiang wasn't sure either; it was hard to say whether the child was Lu Wu's.

But at this point, in order to save her own life, Qin Xiang would definitely insist that the child was Lu Wu's.

Qin Xiang quickly covered her stomach: "It's not even three months yet, so we can't do a paternity test."

If we can buy some time, we will.

If you go to the hospital for a checkup, there might be a problem.

When Lu Ning saw Bai Lianhua's evasive manner, she immediately understood that Bai Lianhua was probably unsure whether the child was Lu Wu's.

In that case, the child most likely doesn't belong to the Lu family.

After all, Lu Wu had just said that his health was poor and that he didn't have much sperm available for IVF, so how could Qin Xiang possibly conceive naturally?

Unfortunately, Lu Wu was so focused on having a child that she didn't pay any attention to all of this.

Lu Ning said with a half-smile, "You'll only know if your child is three months old after a hospital checkup. If the timing doesn't match, then there's no need for a paternity test; you should already know the child isn't Lu Wu's."

Qin Xiang was now completely panicked.

What if she goes to the hospital for a checkup and the truth comes out? Because she doesn't even know whose child it is.

Lu Wu suddenly spoke up at this moment: "Then let's go to the hospital for a check-up."

Now, Lu Wu doesn't really trust Qin Xiang anymore.

After all, this woman had lied to him many times before, and had also been involved with other men.

Qin Xiang was reluctant to go to the hospital. She cried and said, "Fifth Brother, don't even you believe me? I might as well just die."

Lu Nanfeng pinned Lu Wu down and stared at Qin Xiang, saying, "Since you want to die, there's no need to go to the hospital. I'll just call the police and send you to the police station."

Qin Xiang was like a chicken being strangled, and immediately dared not say anything.

Lu Nanfeng looked at Lu Wu and said, "I'll take you to the hospital for a checkup."

Lu Nanfeng was not at all comfortable letting Lu Wu go alone, lest Qin Xiang find a way to fool him again.

Seeing that there was no other way, Qin Xiang dared not say anything more.

Before leaving, Lu Nanfeng looked at Lu Ning and said, "I'm going to the hospital. Don't worry, I will definitely give you an explanation for this matter."

Lu Ning wore a mocking expression, but she didn't say a word.

How could this matter possibly be so complicated?

Qin Xiang is the daughter of her father's killer. So what if she's really pregnant? Unexpectedly, the Lu family actually wants to keep this child.

Lu Nanfeng left with his men, leaving only her in the hall, along with Lu Dongyou, who sat on the sofa, looking dejected and silent.

Lu Ning couldn't help but sneer, "Back then, you kept telling me how much you hated the person who killed our parents. But now, you know that Qin Xiang's father killed our parents, yet you still feel sorry for her, don't you?"

"Then hand over that money. I won't care if you call the police or do whatever you want after that."

"But that's not what you just said. Besides, that money isn't even in my hands."

"Then hand over Qin Xiang's father. I'll find a way to make him cough up the money. I don't believe that with Qin Xiang in his hands, his father would dare not tell the truth."

Lu Ning looked over, her face full of sarcasm: "So that's what you were planning? Well, let me tell you the truth, the person I caught that day wasn't Qin Xiang's father at all, but their accomplice."

Lu Dongyou's expression immediately changed: "What did you say? You didn't catch Qin Xiang's father? Then why did you lie to me?"

"If I didn't lie to you, how could I get clues out of Qin Xiang?"

Knowing he was in the wrong, Lu Dongyou couldn't help but say, "Lu Ning, I admit that it was indeed my fault before, which led to everything that is happening now."

"Ah, it's rare to see Mr. Lu Dongyou admit his mistake."

Seeing Lu Ning's mocking look, Lu Dongyou patiently said, "Tell me honestly, where is that money?"

"That money has already been transferred by Qin Xiang's father, and now his whereabouts are unknown. Your money has also been transferred away. As for what to do next, you'll have to figure it out yourself."

After Lu Ning finished speaking, she went upstairs and left, not wanting to talk to Lu Dongyou.

Lu Dongyou sat alone on the sofa. When he looked up, he saw the two black and white photos, and his heart felt like it was being fried in oil.

He never expected the situation to turn out this way.

After returning to his room, Lu Ning recalled what had just happened and immediately sent Ji Chiqian a message: "Qin Xiang is pregnant."

Lu Ning thought about it and felt it was all incredibly melodramatic, especially since she got pregnant at this crucial time.

Soon after, Ji Chiqian called: "How's the situation with the Lu family? Is Qin Xiang's child from the Lu family?"

Lu Ning smiled; Ji Chiqian's first reaction was similar to hers.

"Although Qin Xiang insisted that the child was Fifth Brother's, I always felt that something was not right, but now they have gone to the hospital for a check-up."

"So, is it because of this child that they're not willing to call the police?"

"You guessed right."

Lu Ning explained Lu Wu's physical condition to Ji Chiqian: "If the child is really Fifth Brother's, then he will definitely try to protect Qin Xiang."

She never expected such a dramatic turn of events.

Ji Chiqian thought for a moment and said, "I'll send someone to check which hospital they'll go to, just in case Bai Lianhua's side does anything underhanded."

"fair enough."

Lu Ning lay on the bed: "Did Madam Mo say anything else?"

Ji Chiqian paused for a moment: "Madam Mo didn't reveal much useful information, but the details of what happened back then are clear. It was all to stop your parents from bidding. However, so much time has passed, the evidence is definitely gone. We must catch Qin Xiang's father."

“Li Man told me that the 4S store is already investigating, just waiting for Qin Xiang’s father to get restless and reveal his identity.”

Lu Ning has calmed down a lot now; after all, you can't rush things.

"If your older brother is determined to protect Qin Xiang, what do you plan to do?"

“Since he’s determined to protect her, then so be it. Actually, I know he’s only doing this because he didn’t get the money back. He thinks that by keeping Qin Xiang in his hands, he can threaten Qin Xiang’s father.”

Ultimately, Lu Dongyou was still after profit.

Lu Ning said coldly, "Actually, I wish he could keep Qin Xiang by his side and let them torment each other. I also want to see what the final result will be."

After this incident, my brother will definitely not treat Qin Xiang the same way as before. He's only keeping Qin Xiang around now to use her.

After all, if they directly called the police and sent Qin Xiang to jail, it would be too easy for them.

Ji Chiqian said, "Whatever decision you make, I will support you."

The voice on the other end of the phone was deep and magnetic.

Lu Ning held her phone, turning her head to look at the night view outside the window, which resembled a dark blue gemstone, stirring her emotions just like her current mood.

She replied, almost as if possessed, "But when I said I wanted to break up, you didn't support me."

Ji Chiqian's breath hitched. What did she mean by that?
