Chapter 3015: Chapter 3013: Not a Single Clue
"Alright, since we’ve agreed on that, there’s nothing else I can tell you. If you want to know more, you’d better find a way to dig into your mother’s past. I’m sure she must have left some kind of clue behind." Qin Xue had watched some detective shows before, so she just repeated what they always said in them.
It wasn’t that she didn’t want to say more, she just didn’t know how to. She was only one person, and she had no idea how many people were on the other side, so all she could do was fumble her way forward step by step.
Once Qin Xue had figured it out, she stopped caring what other people thought or did. As for their opinions, she couldn’t be bothered anymore; she just needed to focus on her own business.
Because in Qin Xue’s heart, she had a more ideal target, and that person was Lin Ziqi across from her.
You could say she started setting up the board the moment she saw that jade pendant, because she knew exactly who Lin Ziqi most wanted to see and what he most wanted in his heart. So Qin Xue didn’t bother thinking about anything else and just went along with his words.
If even at this point she still couldn’t figure it out and put it in place, then there was nothing left she could scheme out and carry through.
Because Lin Ziqi was precisely the person Qin Xue had calculated in advance, it wasn’t that Qin Xue was waiting for him to come, but that she had already calculated that he would.
She knew how important a piece of jade that never leaves someone’s side is to its owner, and his jade even looked similar to hers. You could imagine what kind of reaction that would cause.
It had to be said, ever since Qin Xue got together with Chu Molin, she’d gotten a lot more cunning.
And Qin Xue still had that godlike helper Xue Ling on her side, so it was obvious no one could possibly take advantage of her.
Since Lin Ziqi had risked his life to throw himself at her, of course she had to give him a "surprise," right?
Lin Ziqi had no idea he’d fallen right into Qin Xue’s trap like this; otherwise he’d definitely be crying his eyes out. Who the hell does things like this?
And right now, in his heart, he was basically sobbing without tears.
"You’ve said your piece, so go." Qin Xue didn’t want to drag this out any longer. It was just a pure waste of her time; better to think about what to do next.
"Okay, I’ll walk you back." Lin Ziqi still didn’t feel safe letting a heavily pregnant woman go back on her own.
"No need, I can go by myself. If you’ve got things to do, go take care of them. We’ll get in touch when you’re free. Oh right, did you find that person yet?" Qin Xue almost forgot about this.
"Not yet. We still don’t know what that person does. They didn’t leave a single clue behind in what they did." Lin Ziqi felt pretty defeated about this too. How could someone work so flawlessly, not leaving any trail at all? It was so perfect it was like this person had never even appeared.
"Still nothing? Alright, I get it. You should head back." Qin Xue started to shoo him off. For this kind of thing, there was nothing more she could do just by overthinking it; they could only keep searching slowly.
"Alright, once I find something I’ll send you a message." Earlier, Lin Ziqi had gone to the shop Qin Xue mentioned, but it turned out to be a couple running it, so he couldn’t get anything out of them. He hadn’t expected to have to go back tonight and ask again.
And about something like this, what else could she say? Was she supposed to tear into him and curse him out?
Anyone could see that was impossible. He’d helped her a lot; if she turned around and acted so ungrateful, what kind of person would that make her?
No matter what kind of existence that person was, Qin Xue felt that a fox will always show its tail one day. Sooner or later she would find that person.
But in her heart, what kind of person that actually was—she still hadn’t figured it out.
Because the other side had covered their tracks too well, she really couldn’t think of who would go after her like this for the time being.
