The Blind Lover - Chapter 171

Qin Yu hugged a blanket and hid in the corner, looking out timidly.

Seeing that Qin Yu was still as stupid as she was when she was young, and that she seemed to be even more afraid of her, Shi Xiao suddenly felt extremely happy.

So what if she was the young madam of the Ning Family? She was still bossed around by her.

Shi Xiao had not slept on such a warm and soft bed for a long time. Very soon, she fell into a deep sleep.

Qin Yu, who was hiding in the corner, heard that Shi Xiao’s breathing had stabilized. She quietly got up, walked to the side of the bed, and pushed open the bed curtain.

Four exquisite silver hollow balls were revealed.

Qin Yu had originally asked for these things from the “Doctor” to protect herself when she was playing dumb. Later, when she found out that the “Doctor” was Ning Chen, the silver balls were never used, although she kept them with her. It was just a memento of their first meeting.

Qin Yu rotated the bottom of the small ball. When the medicinal fragrance was released, she covered her nose and quickly exited the room.

Qin Yu was barefooted and did not make a sound. When she reached the corridor, she continued walking south. Then, she turned around a corner and walked to a room. She then knocked on the door.

The door quickly opened. Ning Chen was standing at the door in his pajamas. Before he could say anything, Qin Yu hugged him.

“Chen, I’m sorry you have to sleep in the guest room,” Qin Yu muttered softly.

“What’s there for me to be upset about? You, on the other hand, is bullied by that woman again.”

Ning Chen shook his head helplessly. His heart ached a little. “Why do you have to be so accommodating to that mother and daughter?”

“Come, let’s talk inside.”

Qin Yu entered the room and closed the door behind her. She and Ning Chen squeezed into the warm blanket, then said with a serious tone, “Chen, do you remember Shi Xiao went missing after you rescued us from the kidnapping?”

“Yes, of course I remember.”

“I asked the two uncles to check. The last place Shi Xiao went missing was Honolulu Valley, a national nature reserves. The terrain inside is complicated. Even the backpackers who are exploring don’t dare to explore the depths. There must be something strange about her disappearing there.”

After a pause, Qin Yu continued, “Shi Xiao returned later. According to the investigation, she appeared at the doors of the Shi family by herself. This means that somebody else sent her home.”

“You mean that someone kidnapped her and sent her back later?” Ning Chen was a little surprised. “Who would do that?”

Qin Yu snuggled into Ning Chen’s arms and found a more comfortable position, she shook her head and said, “I don’t know who it was, but I think those are the same people who kidnapped me. At that time, they wanted to know where the box my parents left behind. I hinted to them that the box was taken by Shi Yong.

“Although they might not believe this story, they will still confirm it just in case. That’s probably the reason why Shi Xiao was kidnapped.”

Ning Chen nodded as if he understood something. “Maybe Shi Xiao was also interrogated over there.”

“Yes, I’m very clear about their methods. Although they won’t take your life, they can make you feel worse than death. If Shi Xiao had experienced that kind of thing, I guess her temperament would have changed a lot. They left her in the Ning family because firstly, they wanted to observe her. Secondly, you’ve seen the surveillance video of the Shi family. After that strange man left, Shi Xiao appeared and even communicated with Shi Yong for a while. I think she should have asked Shi Yong about that strange man. Maybe she knows something too.”

“In the end, if Shi Xiao stays with the Ning family, those people might take the initiative to contact Shi Xiao.” Qin Yu’s words were rather meaningful.

Ning Chen finally understood why Qin Yu wanted to endure Shi Xiao and Qu Li, and why she allowed them to stay at the Ning family. If it was to draw out those people behind the scenes..

“No, you’ll be in danger!” Ning Chen grabbed Qin Yu’s hand. His chest heaved, and his tone turned anxious.

“If they hurt you again through Shi Xiao, what should I do? Xiao Yu, don’t take the risk, okay?”

Qin Yu held Ning Chen’s hand, her tone was gentle. “Chen, am I not still fine now? I believe that even if I’m really in danger, you’ll be there to protect me. Besides, I’m the daughter of the underworld princess. I know how to take care of myself.”

Ning Chen fell silent as Qin Yu continued, “Now that the investigation of the incident has reached a stalemate, these people might just be our breakthrough. Rather than waiting passively for them to make a move, it’s better for us to take the initiative.

“Chen, I need to know what happened then.”
