His Beloved Treasure

The man unconsciously swallowed, the sight of the plainly dressed woman in front of him, yet tall and with piercing eyes, truly made him gasp in astonishment.

He didn’t understand how she could possess such an imposing aura; she was unmistakably a half-sister to Qin Mingzhu, both sharing the same delicate appearance. Yet, Qin Mingzhu had no such presence, whereas this girl, who had been cast out since childhood, exuded an aura so powerful that it even intimidated him, a man.

She leaned quietly against the side of the table, eyes downcast in thought for a moment, then lifted her gaze and smiled faintly at him, ”What benefit did Qin Mingzhu offer you?”

”What benefit?”

The man frowned, clearly not following her train of thought.

”If there’s no benefit, why would a man as tall as one meter eighty follow the commands of a petite woman? Is it because of her family’s power? Or perhaps you’re secret lovers deeply in love?”

Qin Mu speculated casually, composed and patient.

The man laughed at her latter suggestion, ”She only promised to sleep with me once it was done!”

Qin Mu...

Her bright almond eyes flickered interestingly, and she chuckled lightly.

The man was obviously shocked, surprised by his own words.

How could he have blurted that out?

He looked up subconsciously at the woman in front of him, both nervous and on guard.

”Thanks for cooperating!”

Qin Mu said softly, then straightened up and turned to leave.

In another room, watching the scene through the large glass screen, were two people. One barely lifted their eyes and didn’t seem too surprised, while the other’s facial features seemed to magnify in shock several times.

”Yichen, you tell me how this woman got that man to spill those words? Our people interrogated him for half a day and he didn’t react at all.”

Yang Bo unconsciously furrowed his brow, his team was always known as the iron fist team of the police station, yet they were outperformed by a woman?

And this woman, had merely entered for a few minutes and chatted casually like a bystander.

”Thanks!”

Qin Mu didn’t know Yang Bo well; she was merely being polite.

”Ha-ha! No need for formalities among our own!”

Yang Bo said, glancing at Mu Yichen before speaking to her.

Qin Mu didn’t say anything further, just smiled. Mu Yichen reached up to drape an arm around her shoulder, ”Let’s go.”

”Hey, hey, hey, aren’t you two taking the record?”

Yang Bo followed them with a question as they were leaving.

”No need!”

Mu Yichen didn’t even turn back, casually waving a hand and wrapping his arm around Qin Mu’s shoulder as they walked out, leaving Yang Bo...

Qin Mu had already started recording on her phone before she went in, so of course, there was no need for additional evidence.

Besides, an act like this wouldn’t lead to a prison sentence; they were just trying to get a hold on Qin Mingzhu’s weaknesses.

After leaving the police station, the two headed straight home. Feng Fanghua and others had also heard about the tombstone incident and were very angry. Feng Fanghua was always quick to speak and asked furiously: ”This girl seems lively and proud on a daily basis, but I never saw her as someone who would do such an immoral act. How on earth did her father educate her? Still ignorant at her age aside, but to dare damage an elder’s gravestone, since ancient times, there probably hasn’t been a second child so unruly.”

”If someone had destroyed our ancestral tombstone...”

Mu Qingxin asked slowly, sucking on her lips.

”You must not tolerate or nurture the wicked, you must punish them severely!”

Feng Fanghua immediately replied, whether in response to her daughter or to Qin Mingzhu’s issue.

But no matter the reason, Qin Mu decided to follow through with Feng Fanghua’s sentiment. She had never planned to let Qin Mingzhu off the hook, and now with evidence at hand, even if Qin Mingzhu wanted to hide, even if that man wanted to protect her, Qin Mu would not let it go.

”Does your father know about this?”

Feng Fanghua asked again.

Meanwhile, the old man and Mu Zihao sat quietly on the couch listening without saying a word.

”He’s probably feigning ignorance!”

Qin Mu murmured softly.

”That’s your father’s biggest problem; why is Qin Mingzhu still idling around and playing in various places to this day? Because he and Zhang Rujia dote on her too much. If he still indulges and protects her in this case, I will look down on him,” Feng Fanghua finished and shook her head as though she was quite despairing of Qin Haiming.

But why had the elders suddenly gone to the cemetery?

Qin Mu didn’t know that today Feng Fanghua’s young good sister had returned to Rongcheng to visit her maternal home because she had also been close to Qin Mu’s mother. She went to the cemetery to pay respects together, only to find the gravestone replaced. She later heard about it from Helian Hao’s mother.
