Chapter 271: The Truth(3)
This matched the clues Qin Canglan had investigated.
The group of people who assassinated Su Huayin and Su Cheng back then was clearly a group of bandits. They were the kind who were paid to carry out vices.
He had once suspected that his enemy had hired someone to kill him.
Unfortunately, that group of desperadoes died too quickly, and the clues were interrupted.
He and the Su family continued to investigate, but they did not uncover anything.
Qin Canglan was furious, and even his voice trembled. “Since you suspect that Ruan Xianglian hired someone to kill them, why didn’t you tell me earlier?”
Qin Hai cried, “Brother… I didn’t guess it from the beginning… I saw her many years later… She brought Che… that child over… said that she wanted him to assume my nephew’s identity… I didn’t agree… She knelt down and begged me…
She said that the real Qin Che was already dead anyway… The Qin family had no successor, and this title would fall to me sooner or later… I owed them… I didn’t give them a status… Why don’t…”
Qin Canglan continued for him, “Why don’t you pass the position of High Duke to your illegitimate son?”
Qin Hai lowered his head. “I asked her how she was sure that Qin Che was dead. She refused to tell me, so I guessed that the deaths of Sister-in-law and my nephew might be related to her. I thought of rejecting her, but she threatened me in every way and even said she would die in front of me. I…”
He covered his face, too ashamed to face his brother.
Qin Canglan said coldly, “That bastard doesn’t know his background?”
Qin Hai braced himself and said, “He knew when he was three or four years old. When he grew up a little, his mother told him that his father was Qin Canglan, the current Protector Duke. One day, she would send him back to his father’s side. As for me, his mother told him that she had once saved me. He always thought that I wanted to repay Xianglian’s kindness, so I took good care of him.”
Qin Canglan snorted coldly. “Hmph, then how do you explain that Su MO and
Daya met you twice and you ruined everything!”
Qin Hai said, “Big Brother… you mean the last two times, right? When I saw that child, I guessed that my nephew might not be dead. I wanted to persuade him to confess to you, so I got someone to go to the residence to remind him. As for the second time in the alley, I did intend to stop them.”
Qin Canglan pointed at his nose. “You’re helping the wicked!”
Qin Hai raised his head and looked at Qin Canglan in shame and helplessness. “Brother, it doesn’t matter if you hit me or scold me. I only have one son… I can’t watch him die…”
Qin Canglan said sternly, “Do you think Daya and Mo’er were going to assassinate him?”
Qin Hai said in a low voice, “That’s what he said. He asked me to help him stop them…”
“You believed him just because he said so? What kind of pig brain do you have!” Qin Canglan was simply angered to death by this stupid brother.
The carriage stopped at Pear Blossom Lane.
Qin Canglan shouted, “Explain these things in front of Daya later!”
Qin Hai was stunned. He lifted the curtain to take a look and realized that the carriage had unknowingly arrived at a quiet alley.
Moreover, the coachman had long been replaced by Qin Canglan’s men.
Qin Hai was brought into the courtyard by Qin Canglan.
The family went out to do their own things. On the way, they were all drenched in the rain. At this moment, Father Su was washing the three little fellows’ hair and showering, while Su Ergou returned to the house to change.
Because it was inconvenient to meet Qin Canglan, Wei Ting did not appear. He sat in the carriage again and secretly planned his next target. Su Xiaoxiao was arranging the herbs in the central room.
“Get in!”
Qin Canglan kicked Qin Hails butt.
Qin Hai staggered a few times and almost fell.
He touched the bridge of his nose awkwardly and greeted resentfully, “My… my grandniece…”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “You recognized me in the carriage last time, right?”
“Yes,” Qin Hai admitted honestly.
Su Xiaoxiao had guessed it, so she was not too surprised.
She looked at Qin Hai. “You’re here for…’
Qin Hai resigned himself to fate and said, “I’ve already confessed to Big Brother just now. Qin Che is my son.” Su Xiaoxiao asked, “Are you sure?”
Qin Hai was surprised. “Huh?”
What kind of words were those?
If he wasn’t sure, why would he acknowledge Qin Che?
Su Xiaoxiao looked at Qin Canglan. “You left before I could finish. Qin Che looks like you and Qin Hai.”
When Qin Canglan faced Su Xiaoxiao, the killing intent in his eyes instantly disappeared. “That’s right. That’s why I expected him to be Qin Hai’s son.”
Su Xiaoxiao shook her head. “That’s not what I’m talking about. I did a genetic test on you. You can understand it as… another form of blood identification. The results show that Qin Che is related to you, but not as father and son. In layman’s terms, neither of you is Qin Che’s biological father.”
“What?”
Qin Canglan and Qin Hai opened their mouths at the same time.
Su Xiaoxiao flipped through the test report on the table and said seriously, “Qin Che is your brother.”
The two of them felt as though they were struck by lightning..
