Chapter 357

“Professor Wang is on a business trip,” the man said, “I’m his assistant. Is there anything that I can help you with?”

“There’s no need, thank you,” Qin Ling’s expression was calm. It was a very important matter, so she couldn’t trust anyone except the friend who had been with her for many years.

Qin Ling waited for a day before she finally got a call from the professor. She immediately put down everything at hand and rushed to the laboratory.

“I want you to do something for me,” Qin Ling’s expression was serious.

Qin Ling made a lot of calls and even came to look for him as soon as he came back. Therefore, Professor Wang knew that this matter must be very important.

“Here are the hair samples of two people,” Qin Ling said, “I want you to help me do a paternity test.”

Professor Wang, “Who did these two samples belong to?”

Qin Ling shook her head, indicating not to get involved in this matter.

Professor Wang quickly understood that Qin Ling must have a reason to remain silent, “Don’t worry, I will help you personally.”

As she waited for the result, every minute and every second seemed to have been stretched to infinity.

Qin Ling didn’t immediately leave and sat down to wait for the results to come out.

After Qin Ling read the report quickly, her eyes faltered slightly. Then, she immediately put the report in her file bag and drove directly to Sheng’s mansion.

After the sun went down, the cool breeze of the spring night blew away the initial warmth brought upon by the sun, so the air felt a bit icy cold.

As night fell, the sky’s hue became dark and heavy. The huge mansion of the Sheng family seemed to be shrouded in never-ending shadows, looking a little desolate.

Qin Ling stopped the car and hurried into the Sheng family’s mansion.

Qin Ling walked into Nie Jiqing’s room and found that she was sitting there, frowning as she pressed her temple lightly.

Anxiety, bitterness… All kinds of emotions lingered in Nie Jiqing’s heart and she hadn’t formed a smile in a long time.

After hearing the movement, Nie Jiqing opened her eyes and met Qin Ling’s gaze. She tried to force a smile, but she couldn’t.

Qin Ling, “I have something to show you.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Nie Jiqing looked at the sealed file bag in Qin Ling’s hand with a puzzled expression.

Qin Ling, “I know Ye Zhi myself, and without her awareness, I got a sample of her hair DNA.”

Nie Jiqing was stunned for a moment, but a gleam of light suddenly flashed in her initially greying eyes. She stared at Qin Ling blankly as her throat was dry and she wasn’t capable of saying anything.

“Here is the DNA report of the two of you,” Qin Ling handed the file over.

Nie Jiqing slowly stretched out her hand and reached for the sealed file.

She was so nervous— the closer she got to the file, the more her hands trembled. It was as if all the weight in the world fell into her hands the moment she took it.

Nie Jiqing had been looking forward to having an answer to her question for a long time. However, she was feeling nervous and hesitant now.

Nie Jiqing took a deep breath as she stabilised her mind and opened the file. The air gradually became so heavy with the bleeding tension that even her hands jittered as they started to lose strength.

Her fingers squeezed the thin report tightly as she pulled out little by little.

On the plain white paper, several large characters were written very clearly.
