"what?"

My pupils dilated, and I turned to look at Shen Qingqing in shock, completely unexpected that she would suddenly say that.

Shen Qingqing's gaze was firm, and her tone was resolute and unquestionable, "Nanchen, I suspect that Grandpa's situation may not be as simple as it seems, so let's find someone to investigate first."

I was stunned for a moment, then quickly realized what I meant and nodded in agreement, "Okay, I'll call Su Jinyun right away."

I followed behind Shen Qingqing and dialed Su Jinyun's number.

The call was answered quickly.

"Nan Chen, has something happened at the company?"

Su Jinyun's slightly anxious voice came through the phone, and I tightened my grip on the phone. "No, I have something else I need your help with."

"what's up?"

As soon as Su Jinyun finished speaking, I said in a deep voice, "Jinyun, you've been a doctor for so many years and you have your own connections here. I want you to find a way to get into the hospital where Shen Wankun is currently staying, into the intensive care unit, and see his medication and his true physical condition."

Hearing this, Su Jinyun had some doubts, but she didn't ask any more questions and immediately agreed.

"Okay, I'll take care of it."

Just as I was about to hang up after saying that, her voice rang out again, "Nanchen, is Qingqing with you now?"

"Yes, I'll give her the phone now."

After I finished speaking, I handed my phone directly to Shen Qingqing, who was standing in front of me. "Jinyun probably needs to talk to you."

Shen Qingqing answered the phone, her voice hoarse as she asked, "Jinyun, what do you want?"

She was talking as she walked, and just as she asked that question, she walked up to my car.

I made a gesture to her, and she nodded slightly, then turned and got into my car.

After I got into the car and closed the driver's side door, Shen Qingqing put the phone on speakerphone.

The next second, Su Jinyun's serious voice echoed throughout the car—

"Qingqing, we traced the deaths of your parents and found a video surveillance video. We found an overseas account through the driver who caused the accident, and finally traced it back to the housekeeper of the Shen family's old house."

Shen Qingqing's hand tightened around her phone. "You mean, my grandfather might have been behind what happened to my parents?"

"This possibility cannot be ruled out."

After saying this in a deep voice, Su Jinyun paused before continuing, "Your parents died young, and the only ones capable of taking action were Shen Wankun, Shen Anqiu, and Shen Huaizhong."

“The steward of your Shen family’s old mansion is not young anymore, and the most likely person to obey orders is Shen Wankun.”

"okay, I get it."

Shen Qingqing responded softly, her dark eyes filled with a complex expression. "Jinyun, please make arrangements for the hospital as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Su Jinyun responded in a deep voice and hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, Shen Qingqing sat quietly in the car, lost in thought.

I turned to look at her, and carefully asked, "Qingqing, what...what do you plan to do?"

Shen Qingqing only came to her senses when she heard my voice.

She turned to look at me and replied in a low voice, "Let Jinyun go to the hospital to check on Grandpa's condition first. Once the results come out, maybe all the mysteries will be revealed."

My heart skipped a beat when I heard that.

I know Shen Qingqing's personality; once she sets her mind on something, she will definitely investigate it thoroughly.

But she has been all alone all these years. If Shen Wankun was scheming against her from the very beginning, how heartbroken she must be.

I reached out and took her hand, and said gently, "Qingqing, no matter what happens, I will never leave you."

"I believe you."

After saying this, Shen Qingqing raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an ugly smile.

Seeing her like this broke my heart. "Qingqing, don't push yourself too hard. If you're really feeling bad, just cry it out."

Shen Qingqing shook her head gently when she heard what I said.

"I'm fine, Nan Chen. Thank you for staying by my side."

Upon hearing this, I felt a mix of emotions.

Shen Qingqing is a strong girl, but this strength makes me feel even more sorry for her.

The next second, she suddenly turned to look at me, "Nan Chen, don't you have anything you want to ask me?"

I was slightly taken aback, and scratched my head somewhat helplessly.

"Yes, I want to ask when you noticed that something was wrong with Shen Wankun."

Today's events happened so suddenly, I'm still a bit dazed.

Shen Qingqing gave a mocking smirk and said indifferently, "From the very beginning when I returned to the Shen family, Shen Wankun wanted me to go through a marriage alliance. Later, he seemed to agree that I wouldn't have to go through a marriage alliance, but to this day, he still brought it up again."

"If the initial and final results are the same, then the process might be fake; otherwise, how could they be the same?"

After she finished speaking, she closed her eyes slightly, and a crystal tear slid down the corner of her eye.

I tightened my grip on her hand, and just as I was about to speak, Shen Qingqing continued, "Nan Chen, before I returned to the Shen family, I felt that it didn't matter whether I had family or not."

"But...it seems that after spending a lot of time with family, some things change. I unconsciously crave their love, I..."

By the end, Shen Qingqing was choked up and unable to speak.

I reached out and pulled her into my arms, whispering, "Qingqing, no matter what happened before, I will always be with you and give you all my love."

Shen Qingqing leaned against me, her tears soaking my clothes.

It took a long time for her emotions to gradually calm down.

She pulled away from my embrace, her eyes red, and said, "Nanchen, I'm alright now. Let's go to the orphanage."

I nodded, started the car, and drove towards the orphanage.

The orphanage is located on the other side of the city, which is quite a distance away.

Throughout the journey, Shen Qingqing sat quietly in the passenger seat, looking at the scenery outside the window, seemingly lost in thought.

I focused on driving, occasionally glancing back at her with concern, my heart filled with heartache.

Upon arriving at the orphanage, Shen Qingqing got out of the car first and quickly walked inside.

I followed behind her, and as soon as I entered the orphanage, I heard the children's happy voices.

"Brother Nanchen, why did you come with Sister Qingqing today?"

"Sister Qingqing, it's been so long since you've come! Xiaobu misses you so much!"

"Brother Nanchen, Sister Qingqing, you've both become even more beautiful!"

"Grandpa Dean, come quick and see who's here!"

……

Shen Qingqing looked at the children surrounding her and a warm smile appeared on her face.

She bent down, hugged Xiaobu in her arms, and asked softly, "Xiaobu, have you been behaving well and listening to Grandpa Headmaster lately?"
