She had spent a lot of effort deciphering the Morse code and barged into the Ji family. She thought that she would be able to find out the truth, but she did not expect to be stuck at the last step.
Qiao Nian was frustrated. She was a little disgusted as she casually pushed the box aside.
âYou have no clue?â Ye Wangchuan picked up the USB flash drive from the box and checked it over and over again. Then, he threw it back into the box, put the box back, and raised his eyebrows at the girl. âWhy donât you think about whether Auntie left any clues for youâ¦â
As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Nian looked up at him with lowered eyelashes. âShe died not long after I was born. What clues do you think I have?â
Ye Wangchuan pressed his fingers between his eyebrows. Realizing that he had said something wrong, his handsome face revealed an apologetic expression.
âIâm sorry, I didnât mean that.â
âI know you donât mean that.â Qiao Nian waved her hand and her expression softened. âIâm the one who should apologize. I shouldnât have taken my anger out on you.â
She was indeed overwrought by being stopped at the last step and was not in a good mood.
Quickly adjusting her mentality, Qiao Nian looked at Gu San and said, âAt least Iâve found the USB drive now. There must be something very important hidden in it. Otherwise, my mother wouldnât have set up such a complicated Morse code to hide it. Also, the âkeyâ to this box is something that ordinary people wouldnât expect⦠Now that the box is in my hands, I have time to slowly find cluesâ¦â
Gu San smiled. âThatâs right, Miss Qiao. At least weâve found the box now. Itâs much better than not having any clues! Isnât it just a password? I believe you can definitely solve it.â
âMm,â Qiao Nian replied.
Her tightly knitted brows relaxed slightly as she stopped dwelling on this matter. Then, she turned to look at the man standing by the bed. âGuan Yan, sheâ¦â
âDonât worry, Iâm not making things difficult for her.â Ye Wangchuan sneered. There was a rare trace of impatience in his eyes as he lowered his voice. âIs your boyfriend so petty in your eyes?â n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
Qiao Nian covered her mouth and coughed. âThatâs not what I meant.â
Ye Wangchuan glanced at the girl from the corner of his eye. Since she was a patient, he could not bear to bicker with her. Turning around and pouring water for Qiao Nian, he said, âShe left after giving me your laptop. Qin Si sent her off.â
Qiao Nian retracted her gaze. The man continued, âThe independent continent hasnât been peaceful the past few days since you were hospitalized. All the major factions are investigating this matter. A portion of the Ji family is also thinking of ways to inquire about the situation here. Those smarter should have guessed itâs you. However, whatâs surprising is⦠Ji Lingfeng.â Qiao Nian looked at him again and nodded. âWhat?â
Ye Wangchuan observed her expression and saw that she was no longer harping on the password. He then unhurriedly said, âJi Lingfeng didnât investigate you this time.â
Qiao Nian was slightly stunned. She clearly did not expect Ji Lingfeng to let her off.
Ye Wangchuan continued, âAll the major factions outside are investigating you, and also some people in the Ji family. However, Ji Lingfeng is not one of them. I think he already knew that the person who barged into the Ji family that day was you!â
Qiao Nian was also thinking about this. âWhen I escaped the Ji family that day, I did hear a voice telling the people chasing after me to stop..â
