Chapter 215 - 215 208 Qin Ke Dies from Poisoning Who is the Murderer Chapter 215: 208: Qin Ke Dies from Poisoning, Who is the Murderer? (Second Update) Chapter 215: 208: Qin Ke Dies from Poisoning, Who is the Murderer? (Second Update) Qin Qi never forgot to play the role of a qualified, charitable father, “If you’re not happy with your position, I’ll help you change it. Don’t ever put up with discomfort.”

The computers of Huaqi Technology employees could only access the intranet and internal use, and they were all encrypted with double encryptions, one managed by IT, the other by the technical department.

Computer Science and Technology, Electronic Engineering, Communication Engineering, Software Engineering — all of these happened to be fields Wen Changling was also proficient in.

“No need to switch, I’m quite happy with it now.”

“As long as you’re happy. I heard from Zhou Xun that you picked things up quickly, did you study computers before?”

Wen Changling replied, “I studied a bit.”

Across the table, Qin Nai, the Little Princess, suddenly began to tap her bowl.

Qin Qi scolded, “Stop tapping the bowl.”

She didn’t listen, continuing to tap while glaring at Wen Changling. Little children don’t know how to hide their emotions;

everything shows on their faces.

“Qin Nai.”

It was only when Qin Qi called her full name did Qin Nai finally stop.

In this family, Qin Qi was the patriarch, “Why are you tapping the bowl?”

Qin Nai pouted, “I want ribs.”

Of course, it wasn’t about the ribs, but about competing for affection. She was once the most cherished at home, but after Wen Changling’s arrival, she felt her uncle no longer loved her.

“You can just say what you want to eat, tapping the bowl at the table is very impolite.”

Qin Qi’s way of disciplining the child seemed natural, and although Qin Ke said nothing, his expression changed.

Qin Qi was the most educated individual in the Qin Family, the villa was purchased by him, and he supported the entire family, so barring Old Lady Zhao’s tantrums, he held absolute authority in the household. There wouldn’t normally be an issue with Qin Qi disciplining Qin Nai, but ever since Qin Ke started to suspect Qin Nai might not be his biological child, he found fault in everything.

Qin Nai, not taking the scolding sitting down, defiantly threw her chopsticks to the floor and pointed at Wen Changling across from her, saying, “She’s the one who has no manners.”

She huffed, sulkingly running away from the table.

At that moment, the maid Shen Ru came in to serve soup, standing right between Qin Ke and Old Lady Zhao. As she placed the soup in the middle of the table, bending over, her buttocks protruded. Qin Ke reached behind and pinched her buttock.

Old Lady Zhao saw everything and glared at Shen Ru, but said nothing.

The frail Liu Wenhua knew of the relationship between Qin Ke and Shen Ru, as did Old Lady Zhao, who was still longing for a grandson.

After dinner, Qin Qi had to leave the house.

Old Lady Zhao asked, “You’re going out this late?”

“I’m meeting President Yan for some nighttime fishing.”

*****

Wen Changling discovered that the milk tea on the fourth floor of Huaqi was very tasty. According to Dai Qiu, all the shops on the fourth floor, including those selling desserts, beverages, and snacks, were owned by the company’s internal staff.

Wen Changling ordered a large coconut latte and found a seat to sit down. Someone was seated in front of her; it was Shi Lihong, whom Wen Changling had met at the Qin Family’s birthday banquet. She was the only female founding partner of Huaqi Technology.

Shi Lihong looked to be under forty, and she was on the phone.

“Teacher Lan.”

“Got it, I’ll make a call and check now.”

After hanging up, Shi Lihong made another phone call.

“Your mom picked Jiangjiang up?”

The voice on the other end was her husband’s.

“It’s Friday, she doesn’t need to make up math class.”

“Jiangjiang loves drawing, I pulled a lot of strings to get her into that interest class.”

“How has drawing become useless?”

“Fine, even if it’s useless, as long as Jiangjiang likes it, that’s what matters.”

“I don’t want to talk about this.”

“How could you say I’m just flaunting my connections?”

Then they started to argue.

Wen Changling roughly understood that Shi Lihong and her husband had different parenting views, different values, and also different social status and income, which caused significant marital discord.

When Shi Lihong’s husband began to accuse her of only thinking about work all day as a woman and questioned whether she had reached her position by merit or by other means, Shi Lihong could no longer bear it and hung up directly. After adjusting her emotions, she turned around and apologized to Wen Changling for raising her voice.

Shi Lihong was a very well-mannered lady.

Wen Changling said it was no problem.

“Miss Wen, may I ask you a favor?”

“Please go ahead.”

“Sorry, this might be a bit presumptuous,” she inquired, “Could I get Lawyer Xie’s contact information from you?” She explained, “I want your boyfriend to introduce me to a good lawyer.”

She was preparing for a divorce lawsuit and wanted the kids, the house, and the money.

Wen Changling denied it thrice, “You’ve misunderstood, he’s not my boyfriend, we have no relationship.”

Shi Lihong looked puzzled, “No?”

Wen Changling was firm as iron, “No.”

Last time at Yangguang Building, their interaction clearly had affection. Shi Lihong expressed regret, “Oh, my apologies, it seems I mistook it. I’m truly sorry.”

“It’s fine.”

Shi Lihong said she had work to do and left first.

A little while later, a dessert shop staff member brought over a piece of Black Forest cake to Wen Changling and said, “Miss Wen, this is from Director Shi for you.”

Wen Changling accepted it.

As a token of thanks, she contacted Xie Shang.

Wen Changling: [Can I give out your contact to someone else?]

Xie Shang: [Who?]

Wen Changling: [Shi Lihong.]

Xie Shang: [Sure.]

Wen Changling’s chat box showed the ‘typing’ indicator for quite some time, but Xie Shang didn’t type anything.

After finishing the cake, Wen Changling got up and headed back to the office. As she reached the elevator, two men approached her.

“Miss Wen Changling, right?”

“Yes, that’s me.”

One of them showed his badge, “We’re criminal detectives from the Jingfeng Sub-bureau, please come with us.”

Wen Changling asked, “What’s the matter?”

“An hour ago, Qin Ke was poisoned at home and has passed away.”
