Chapter 267: Paternity Test (3)
“Over there!”
He saw a corner of a shirt turning into the alley.
Just as the two of them chased into the alley, they bumped into an old man who was fleeing with his head in his hands.
“Don’t run! Accept your loss! Hand over the silver!”
A few thugs chased after him with sticks.
As he fled, he shouted, “I, I, I… I said I would return it to you next time!”
“Stop right there!”
Seeing that those people were about to catch up, the old man and Su Mo bumped into each other.
A few thugs suddenly smashed their sticks at his back. Su Mo raised his hand and gently pulled away one of the sticks.
He waved his hand and easily knocked down the sticks of the others.
Seeing that he was not to be trifled with, the few of them exchanged glances and turned to run.
The old man let out a long sigh.
Su Mo looked at him, took off his bamboo hat, and greeted, “Second Master.”
Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and recognized him. It was the second master of the Qin family, Qin Hai, whom she had met on the streets last time.
At that time, Su Xiaoxiao was sitting in the carriage and was not sure if Qin Hai had seen her. Anyway, she had seen Qin Hai.
Qin Hai smiled awkwardly. “It’s you. Eh? This is…’
Su Xiaoxiao was wearing a bamboo hat that covered her face.
Su MO said, “A cousin.”
“Ah…” Qin Hai sized Su Xiaoxiao up and didn’t ask carefully.
He scratched his head and said awkwardly, “I was unlucky today and lost all my money. But don’t worry, they don’t know who I am. I didn’t reveal my identity… Don’t spread it. If my brother finds out that I went to the gambling den, he’ll scold me again.”
“Okay,” Su MO agreed.
Qin Hai patted his shoulder and said, “It’s settled then. You must keep it a secret for me. I’ll leave first. If I go back late, the wife at home will nag again…
Su Xiaoxiao tilted her head and looked thoughtfully at Qin Hail s departing back.
Su MO chased a few more steps forward. Unfortunately, he lost them.
He turned around and saw that Su Xiaoxiao didn’t follow him. He couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong?”
Su Xiaoxiao recalled. “The first time I went to the Duke Protector’s Estate to investigate, the Protector’s Estate increased their vigilance.”
Su MO nodded. “That’s right.”
Su MO also realized this.
Guard Feng did not look like he had gathered his people at the last minute.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I’ve been wondering why the Duke’s Estate suddenly increased its vigilance. Could it be that the vendor’s death during the day alerted the enemy?”
She was referring to the vendor called Xiangzi.
Xiangzi poisoned the Old Marquis through the dumpling leaves. Su Mo’s men found him and he seized the opportunity to poison himself during the interrogation.
Su Xiaoxiao said calmly, “But that day, we saw someone on the way back to Pear Blossom Lane. It happened to be before I left for the Protectorate.” A name came out—Qin Hai.
Su MO gasped. “Don’t tell me you suspect… But he didn’t see you, nor did he know you… and didn’t know that you would investigate…”
Su Xiaoxiao said unhurriedly, “This is your personal judgment and speculation. Only he knows if he saw me or if he knows me. Only he knows that I might want to go to the Duke’s Estate to investigate.”
Su MO was completely shocked.
He frowned and said, “Qin Hai… is a loafer. He’s ignorant, incompetent, and doesn’t do his job. He idles around all day…”
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “It seemed like a coincidence just now. We were clearly about to catch up to Qin Che. His appearance disrupted our plan.”
Su MO was silent.
Su Xiaoxiao lowered her head and began to look for something on the ground.
“You…” Su MO looked at Su Xiaoxiao in confusion.
“I found it.” Su Xiaoxiao pinched a strand of hair on the ground and took out a clean handkerchief to wrap it.
Su MO finally couldn’t take it anymore. “Why have you been picking people’s hair all day?”
Don’t think he didn’t see that she had also taken a strand of hair from Qin Che.
Did this girl have some special fetish?
After returning to Pear Blossom Lane, Su Xiaoxiao closed the door.
It was rare that the pharmacy didn’t take advantage of her and let her in smoothly.
The base pharmacy had the highest-end medical equipment, and the results came out very quickly.
Qin Che and Qin Canglan’s biological relationship was established but did not support a parent-child relationship.
Su Xiaoxiao was not surprised.
Her gaze landed on the results of the comparison between Qin Che and Qin Hai.
“I see..”
