Chapter 1764: Chapter 1764: Suspicion (Part 4)

She really wasn’t sure.

"Well then, Mr. Qin, have a good rest. I’ll take my leave now and come by another day." Yue Siqing said with a meaningful tone, escorting Gu Anjin out of the room.

Gu Anjin breathed a temporary sigh of relief. Regardless of whether that "come by another day" was just a polite gesture, at least for now there wouldn’t be any conflict.

After all, Huo Xun’s gunshot wound was caused because of her.

After the two left, Qin Shi closed the door and laughed mockingly, "What did he mean just now? Could he possibly remember me and Qin Shen? No, he’s never even met Qin Shen, so he shouldn’t know who Qin Shen is. Besides, it’s been so many years."

Huo Xun seemed deep in thought and lazily said, "He has such a good memory, it’s not strange to have some impression."

"Could he have found out something? No, even if he knows, he doesn’t know who you are. Perhaps he really thinks you’re Qin Shen." Qin Shi chuckled, "But to him, Qin Shen and I are just minor roles anyway."

Huo Xun curled his lips, "He has already started investigating. Now he should know that he’s found our informant and knows what that person did to Song Yi. He’ll definitely suspect it wasn’t unintentional. It’s only a matter of time before he finds out about us. And very likely, he already knows now."

Qin Shi frowned, "Why didn’t he say anything just now? It can’t be just because our names sounded familiar, so he wants to investigate thoroughly first to avoid alerting us. To him, it should seem like dealing with us is a very easy task."

"Go make some preparations. Whatever he wants to find out, let him find out." Huo Xun closed his eyes.

Maybe he didn’t say anything just because of Gu Anjin.

Before getting in the car, Gu Anjin noticed something off about his expression, "Brother Siqing, shall we go eat first?"

Yue Siqing glanced at the building behind them, looking toward the floor they were just on, and said lightly, "Jinjin, you go back first. I have some matters to deal with."

Gu Anjin became nervous, "Didn’t you finish your business before coming?"

"Don’t worry, I’m not going back to find him." Yue Siqing gave her a complicated look, "I’m going to the headquarters, there’s something urgent. Let the driver take you back first, okay?"

She hesitated but nodded.

Seeing Yue Siqing get in the car with her, she felt a bit relieved.

She quietly breathed a sigh of relief.

Yue Siqing saw Gu Anjin off, then returned to Yaoye Headquarters.

"The names you sent me earlier, I’ve asked Paul to check, and they match up." Arthur looked at the documents and said, "Qin Shi, Qin Shen, they’re indeed from the Qin Family’s collateral branch, specifically Qin Hai’s line. After Qin Hai died, his wife and son went abroad, severing any ties with the Qin Family. They went through a lot of hardships, and she never remarried. It wasn’t until she met Mr. Murphy that she had a late-in-life romance."

Looking up at Yue Siqing’s serious expression, Arthur was quite surprised too, "I didn’t expect the coincidence, it’s from your foster family’s side. But the Qin Family had bitter conflicts back then, and they drove Qin Hai’s family out of the country as the defeated parties, planning not to have any more ties with them. Unfortunately, life is unpredictable. The former Mrs. Qin turned into Mrs. Murphy overnight, a status not reachable by the Qin Family anymore."

"What about Qin Shen... what happened with him?" Yue Siqing sat in the leather chair, fingers interlaced.

"Qin Shen grew up abroad, and they only reunited with him after going overseas. However, he encountered an accident abroad and spent a long time in the hospital. It is said his whole face was badly injured and took many years to treat. Speaking of which, today’s cosmetic technology is really advanced; you can’t tell anymore."

ps. Yesterday I got the name wrong; Yue Siqing doesn’t know Huo Xun’s real name yet, only that he goes by Qin Shen. I’ve corrected it today, and I apologize for channels where correction isn’t possible.
