Chapter 157 - 157 Secret Uncovered
157 Secret Uncovered
On the top floor of Jingsheng Hotel next to the Qiao Corporation in A-City, Qiao Jing looked at the pale-faced person in bed with a troubled expression.
Whether it was from past conversations with Qiao Yue or Qiao Yue’s unusual behavior, Qiao Jing was sure that Qiao Yue was no ordinary person. But he did not expect Qiao Yue to be involved with drug dealers wanted by the police. The only saving grace was that based on Qiao Yue’s behavior, she wasn’t on the same side as drug dealers.
Qiao Jing sighed as he sat by Qiao Yue’s bed. With heartache in his eyes, Qiao Jiang moved his hand from Qiao Yue’s forehead to her pale lips.
Qiao Yue was out of the woods now, and Qiao Jing had learned from the doctor that his fifth brother was actually his fifth sister.
He didn’t think much about it when he took Qiao Yue to the hotel to get a private doctor to treat her. It was just that Qiao Yue had bullet wounds on her and it would be hard to explain if he brought her to a hospital. He didn’t expect to uncover such a secret.
Qiao Yue was seriously injured this time. Her ribs hadn’t fully recovered, and she had been electrocuted.
But Qiao Yue’s injuries weren’t limited to these. There was also an eight or nine-centimeter wound on her arm. After the doctor’s examination, the cut seemed to have originated from under her skin.
Qiao Jing couldn’t imagine what could have caused Qiao Yue such serious injuries. But when he saw Qiao Yue covered in blood, he couldn’t breathe.
Qiao Jing studied Qiao Yue for a moment before he took out his phone and dialed a number. “Have you found out anything about Qiao Yue?”
“I’m sorry, Brother Jing. I haven’t found any information on Master Yue.”
Qiao Jing couldn’t help but frown when he heard this over the phone. Not only hadn’t they found more information on Qiao Yue, they still thought that Qiao Yue was a boy.
Even so, Qiao Jing did not stop the person and said, “Continue with the investigation. Focus on KA.”
“Yes, Brother Jing.”
Qiao Jing walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked out at the night sky.
He was only suspicious of Qiao Yue’s abnormal actions tonight and asked the police to keep a look out. He didn’t expect Qiao Yue to go Yayi Club, which the police had been watching.
He knew that Qiao Yue was a conservator-restorer at Yayi. He had his suspicions, but he didn’t expect Qiao Yue to be involved in so many things.
…
Without familiar scents around her, Qiao Yue frown in bed and mumbled “Mom”.
In her dream, Qiao Yue saw her mother. She could see her mother’s figure clearly and it looked exactly like in the photo. She wanted to ask her mother what key Trand was talking about but she could only open her mouth; no sound came out.
She watched her mother walk from the study to the living room. There was a girl playing on the foam mat in the living room. When the little girl saw her mother, she quickly threw herself into her mother’s arms.
“Oh my goodness! Did my little Yueyue gain weight again? How much did you eat today?” The mother asked the girl with a smile.
“I didn’t gain any weight! Yueyue is very light!” The girl puffed up her cheeks and answered angrily.
The mother smiled and poked the girl’s face. “Okay, okay, okay. If my Yueyue says she’s not heavy, she’s not heavy. Come, let Mom give you a hug.”
Hearing her mother’s words, the little girl beamed and snuggled into her mother’s arms.
“Mom, do you think my painting looks good?” The girl held up a painting of random colors to her mother, as if she was showing off a masterpiece.
The mother pretended to admire the painting for a few seconds before she asked, “Yueyue, what’s this blue thing?”
The girl chuckled and pointed at the blue area. “This is Dad! The white one is Mom, and the yellow one is me.”
The mother smiled gently and asked the girl why she used these three colors.
The little girl blinked her large eyes and said seriously, “Mom said that Yueyue hasn’t seen Dad because Dad’s job is to protect many people. Although Yueyue can’t see Dad, Dad is always protecting us. So, Dad is the sky. We can see him but can’t touch him.”
The mother was stunned for a moment, and she looked at the little girl with heartache.
“I’m so sorry, Yueyue. Mom will tell Dad and ask him to come back and see us when he has time.”
The little girl nodded obediently. “Mom must also let Dad know that Yueyue misses him very much.”
