Chapter 1957 - 1955: Heavenly Eye
Chapter 1957: Chapter 1955: Heavenly Eye
In the Imperial Capital, there are quite a few unusual events and people, but her range of activity is limited, so for now, she can only see the strangeness in Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao.
However, it now seems this isn’t the case.
This ability is something this woman inherently possesses.
In the past, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t see her because she didn’t want to look.
She once heard from an old spirit in the West City District about these kinds of matters, that indeed there are people who can walk between the realms of the living and the dead, who can communicate with heaven and earth, acting as the Heavenly Dao’s eyes in the mortal world; however, they are not always in this state, only when they open the Heavenly Eye.
In other words, to find Second Uncle Qin’s child, Gu Qiaoqiao opened the Heavenly Eye.
Previously, she and her grandfather planned countless assassinations, even attempts that seemed certain to succeed like the kidnapping of Qin Xiaoyu, yet they not only failed but suffered heavy losses, and in the end, her grandfather died and she also perished, causing the once-prestigious Lin Family to vanish from the Imperial Capital.
This was not due to Gu Qiaoqiao’s luck, but because of her ability.
This person was too deeply hidden, too terrifying. Lin Qinghuan’s body trembled uncontrollably; her year-long self-satisfaction and desire for revenge suddenly vanished into nothingness.
What should she do?
After everything vanished, not even reincarnation awaited her—no, she couldn’t end up like that. Heaven took pity on her, allowing her to condense into a spiritual body at the moment of death, and she couldn’t give up this opportunity.
Gritting her teeth, Lin Qinghuan stood up. The sky was still dark. She quickly drifted toward the West City District; she needed to find that old spirit to save her.
The next morning, the sun enveloped the earth, and the snow-covered Imperial Capital began another bustling and lively day.
Everyone, including Old Master Qin, slept late yesterday, waking up after nine o’clock. After waking, they felt rejuvenated, obviously filled with boundless joy, especially Second Uncle Qin and Second Aunt Qin, nothing leaves a deeper impression than recovering something lost.
Especially Second Uncle Qin, the scene of the child vanishing from his grasp alive is something he cannot forget to this day, so when Liu Qiqi brought the child out, he stared unblinking, afraid that they’d disappear in the blink of an eye.
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head slightly. In a certain way, Second Uncle Qin and Second Aunt Qin were among her family enemies in a past life, and they intended harm in this life, though their plans never took root as they were thwarted, and from then on they never had the chance to rise up again.
Moreover, with the Qin Family’s patriarch Old Grand Master Qin present, it was possible only to reach a state of peaceful coexistence.
But the situation has now changed to its current state; if Second Uncle and Second Aunt Qin could discard their unsightly intentions, Great Grandfather would surely be the happiest.
Indeed, Old Grand Master Qin supported himself with a cane, smiling brightly.
For elderly people, family harmony is their greatest wish.
Grandma Qin also arrived at the Qin Family’s Courtyard, extremely anxious until she received a call, her voice hoarse from worry.
Gu Qiaoqiao heard Grandma Qin’s hoarse voice and quickly brought her half a cup of warm water with a drop of Spiritual Spring, which seemed to help after Grandma Qin drank it.
In the eyes of the elderly, Dongdong, Xiao Bao, and Xiao Bei are all her dearly beloved grandchildren, and she naturally treats them equally; losing a child is akin to cutting out Old Lady Qin’s heart.
It’s just that Second Uncle and Second Aunt Qin are usually idle, and they always watch the children, occasionally bringing them to Grandma Qin’s house, but compared to Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei, they spend much less time together because Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei’s parents are the busiest in the world.
They are almost busy saving the world.
But even so, Grandma Qin’s love for her little grandchildren is unwavering.
At first, they hid the lost child from her, but eventually, they told her, and Grandma Qin nearly fainted from shock. Thankfully, the child was found, and she had Qin Xuan drive her over early in the morning; she couldn’t rest easy without seeing the child with her own eyes.
Worried sick, her voice was hoarse last night, but after drinking the water Qiaoqiao offered, she felt much better.
Afterwards, Xiao Bao and Xiao Bei were brought to the dining room by Gu Qiaoqiao, and the three little ones sat together, returning to their usual selves. Gu Qiaoqiao observed carefully and determined that Dongdong should be fine; the spiritual energy was one thing, and her calming charm seemed to have worked wonders.
This was part of her innate soul heritage, and yesterday was the first time she used it; she didn’t expect it to work so well. It appeared that the eight other children would be alright too; since they’re so young, as long as they’re not frightened, they’ll forget in a few months.
The child was found, and everything returned to normal. Qin Yize went to work, and Gu Qiaoqiao stayed home, pondering whether to organize her charms properly, and she planned to look for Lin Qinghuan that night.
Such a spiritual body shouldn’t exist, especially someone like her.
The child disappearances which disturbed the people were finally resolved; surprisingly, it was Choo Lan, Old Master Choo’s granddaughter, who did it.
This sparked a frenzy of gossip in the elite circles of the capital; no one expected that woman could do something like this, and more so, why did she do it?
Everyone was baffled; not only was she beautiful, but she also held status, had her own company, and came from an enviable background with an impressive education—such a Choo Lan, maybe not the best in the wealthy circles of the Imperial Capital, but certainly among the best women.
So, why kidnap those children?
Did she want to become a mother?
Of course, no one suspected Choo Lan intended to make money from selling children, as that was impossible; they speculated she perhaps had some unspeakable fetish.
Various rumors and speculations reached Old Master Choo’s ears, making him so furious he fainted.
The Choo Family was in chaos; Choo Lan’s mother Chen Na could never have imagined her daughter would do such a thing, although the evidence was indisputable. She indeed kidnapped nine children and took them to the basement of an abandoned chemical plant.
But she couldn’t believe her daughter would do such a thing; her daughter didn’t have the capability, how could nine children silently go missing?
She had a huge argument with her husband, but unable to let go of her daughter, she had to rush to the scene with Choo Lan’s eldest brother.
For certain reasons, the truth of the case could never be revealed to the public.
Regarding the families of the recovered children, it was simply enough that the child was found and the true culprit apprehended.
As for how the children were lost, they didn’t want to unravel every detail, trusting the law would provide a fair judgment, and their main task was to watch their children closely thereafter; another loss would be unbearable.
