My Lovely Wife is a Forensic Doctor - Chapter 114
Chapter 114 Everyone with a Different Thing on their Mind
Qin Jinhuan frowned and immediately picked up the phone. Mu Yu also quickly leaned over to eavesdrop on the conversation.
“Huan, Rong Jian said the bureau had already set up a task force in order to look into Sun Meilan and Zhao Yongli’s case. They would come over to the office first thing tomorrow morning and conduct a detailed investigation. They also said they need our full cooperation and we need to be on call at all times.”
“Full cooperation.”
“But I am afraid it would cause a sense of panic to the people in office.”
“That’s why it’s vital we cooperate with them to solve the case.”
“Well… Alright then, I will make the necessary arrangements.”
“Send some people over to the company and investigate if there was anyone who had beef with Sun Meilan and Zhao Yongli.”
“You suspect that…” Wen Zeyu did not probe any further and immediately said, “Alright, I will send someone over to look into it.” Then, he hung up the phone in a hurry.
Upon seeing Qin Jinhuan keep the phone into his pocket, Mu Yu said, “Let me know if you find something.”
“Okay.”
“Eh…” Only then did Mu Yu realize not only was she sitting on his lap, in order to eavesdrop onto the conversation, she was also leaning extremely close to him. She instantly felt a sense of awkwardness and quickly stood up.
To her surprise, he also stood up and she immediately stretched her arm out to press his chest to keep him from coming closer. “What are you up to? I will slap you if you do anything funny!”
He did not inch closer to her and merely said in a soft voice, “Don’t you want to go home?”
“Is that possible?”
She said while carefully pulling down the blinds to take a peek at the situation outside. She saw the entire cinema was silent other than noises coming from the movie that was being screened. Let alone the couple seats at the back, even the audience in the standard seats in the front did not turn their heads around. Everyone was fixated on the movie and were clearly interested by the exciting scenes shown on the screen. She felt like she was fooled and immediately glared at him. Then, she pulled down the blinds, opened the door and left.
As they got into the elevator, Qin Jinhuan whispered, “My car is in the basement.”
Mu Yu had planned to rebuke and say ‘Who wanted to leave with you’ but at the thought of how troublesome it was to call a cab at night, she decided to tag along on his car. Then, she whipped out her phone and texted Jiang Wenwen about the fact she was leaving due to certain reasons and also a reminder for her to be careful when heading home after the movie.
As she was sending out the text, Qin Jinhuan also took out his phone. From the corner of her eyes, she could see his fingertips moving on the screen which showed that he was also texting someone. She snorted and turned her head away.
After that, they had no interaction along the way till they arrived at their house.
Qin Xiaozhi was in his room and seated in front of a computer monitor on his desk as he joyfully asked Qi Hao, “They went to watch a movie together?”
The screen shown on the monitor was a surveillance image of the hallway in the mansion. The screen showed Qin Jinhuan and Mu Yu walking up the stairwell together.
“To be exact, it was Young Mistress who went to watch a movie with Jiang Wenwen and they bumped into Young Master who was accompanying Yi Anran to a movie.”
“What? Then isn’t Yu dejected?” Qin Xiaozhi who was about to consume a spoonful of porridge slammed the bowl of porridge onto the desk.
He was caught up with updates of the murder case in the office which was why he did not have a good afternoon nap. As such, he felt a little lethargic during the evening. Therefore, he decided to have a short nap but ended up sleeping all the way through. Just as he finished washing up, Yu Zhongguang came in with a bowl of porridge brewed for a while and Qi Hao came in to provide an update about the company.
“Young Mistress managed to snatch Young Master back from Yi Anran’s side.”
“Oh? Did Yu and Yi Anran get in an argument? Did Yu suffer from it? What was Huan’s attitude towards this? Who did he side with?”
“They did not get into an argument and the young mistress did not suffer. As for Young Master, he was rather cooperative with Young Mistress and sat at the couple’s seats to watch the movie.”
“That’s more like it.”
“But…”
Qin Xiaozhi threw a sharp glance and said, “What?”
Qi Hao hesitated before softly saying, “But I just feel Young Master was a lot more caring and patient toward Yi Anran compared to Young Mistress. I observed Yi Anran up close today and I feel after all these years, she looks extremely similar to Yi Anjing. Not only do they look similar, even the way they walk, their hobbies and interests are the same. If it was not for the fact I knew she was Yi Anran right from the start, I might have mistook her for Yi Anjing. I am afraid Young Master’s love for Yi Anjing would transfer over to Yi Anran.”
Qin Xiaozhi smirked, “That’s impossible! Do you really think that Huan loved Yi Anjing? The only reason he insisted on marrying Yi Anjing was because he wanted to shut me off as I planned to arrange his marriage. It was not because he loved her. As for the reason why he is treating Yi Anran so well is because he feels guilty Yi Anjing died because of him.”
“Even if the young master did not love Yi Anjing or Yi Anran, I can tell Yi Anran really loves Young Master!” Qi Hao continued to express his concerns, “As the saying goes if a man pursues after a woman it would be as difficult as hiking a mountain but the only thing standing between a woman pursuing after a man is a thin gauze. She takes the initiative to stick to the young master and she is also very good at flirting and coaxing. Not only that, she is very deceptive. In addition, her relationship with Yi Anjing coupled with the misunderstandings Young Master had with you recently, I’m worried she would be able to gain the young master’s love. Furthermore, they are in close proximity with each other.”
Qin Xiaozhi understood Qi Hao meant that Yi Anran was close to Qin Jinhuan on a daily basis as he arranged for her to work at Qing Tian Group. Qian Xiaozhi then asked, “Has Zeyu not made the proper arrangements for Yu?”
“Everything is done and Young Mistress is part of the task force. President Wen would do his best to create additional opportunities for Young Mistress and Young Master to interact.”
“Inform him to keep a close eye on Yi Anran as well.”
“Alright.”
Only then did Qin Xiaozhi pick up his bowl of porridge. As he consumed it, the conversation he had with his grandson last night appeared in his mind.
“Immediately get Yi Anran out of An City! Otherwise don’t blame me for…”
“You pushed Yi Anjing to her death and now you are trying to push Yi Anran to her death?”
“What do you mean by that?”
“You know fairly well how Yi Anjing died. My actions towards Yi Anran is merely to help you atone to your sins. If you insist on chasing her away, that’s fine but the day she leaves would be the day I get a divorce with Mu Yu.”
“So you mean that if I dont interfere with you and Yi Anran, you won’t get a divorce with Yu?”
“You can say so.”
“Fine. As long as you don’t get a divorce with Yu, don’t treat her harshly and draw a line between your relationship with Yi Anran, I would not interfere with these matters.”
“Just ask Mu Yu to be the mistress you wish. You don’t have to worry about my relationship with Anran.”
This little brat.
However, Qin Xiaozhi had no choice but to take a step back.
Back then, he received explicit photos of Yi Anjing by accident and the photos were taken by Yi Yunrui to humiliate her. In order to eradicate Yi Yunrui as well as force Yi Anjing away from Qin Jinhuan, he instructed his men to share the photos. After that, he was able to eradicate Yi Yunrui easily as he had planned but did not expect Yi Anjing to be so weak. She crumbled under societal pressure and committed suicide. After her death, she even left a younger sister to cause problems for the granddaughter-in-law that he appointed.
Although he felt guilty for Yi Anjing’s death, he had no sense of goodwill towards Yi Anran.
She wants to be my granddaughter-in-law? No way.
My granddaughter-in-law can only be Mu Yu.
Upon hearing his grandson making the arrangements for Yi Anran to work in the office, he was equally as anxious as Qi Hao. It just so happened that a murder case occured in the office today and coincidentally he found out the bureau was setting up a task force to investigate the murder case. Thus, he immediately instructed Wen Zeyu to arrange for Mu Yu to be part of the task force to create opportunities for feelings to grow between her and Qin Jinhuan. Qin Xiaozhi knew Mu Yu’s feelings for Qin Jinhuan. He also firmly believed Qin Jinhuan had some feelings for Mu Yu as well and the only thing lacking between them was a catalyst.
While Qin Xiaozhi was deeply worried for Mu Yu, she had actually just finished washing up and was lying on the couch by her side. She held onto her notebook and pondered over Zhao Yongli’s case.
The room was extremely silent. It was so quiet it seemed like she was the only one in the room.
However, Qin Jinhuan was actually present, lying in bed staring at the ceiling.
To be more precise, he was lying on his side of the bed. He naturally left the other side of the bed vacant for Mu Yu but he had never taken the initiative to ask her over.
He knew that he had been neglecting her all this while and she was extremely unhappy.
At first, he treated her coldly because of the anger he had toward his grandfather’s ploy. After, he ignored her because she had never questioned the reason why he was treating her the way despite distancing himself away from her for such a long period of time.
He could tell it was because she had always thought she was merely an appointed wife. Thus, she naturally had no rights to question his attitude. Furthermore, out of coincidence, memories of Yi Anjing wandered his mind which made him question his feelings toward her. In addition, his ego stopped him from taking the initiative thus he decided to leave everything up for time to tell.
Just then, Yi Anran returned.
It had been three years since they last met and he did not expect her to turn out exactly the same as her sister!
When they bumped into each other at the airport, he thought Yi Anjing was back. The immense guilt he had towards Yi Anjing that could never be atoned instantly shifted and became concern and care shown towards Yi Anran.
Whenever the well-mannered Yi Anran behaved coquettishly at every opportunity that she had, it would subconsciously trigger the deepest emotions hidden in his heart. He would subconsciously want to do his best to satisfy her demands. When the weak and delicate Yi Anran displayed signs of satisfaction to the care shown towards her, he would be overwhelmed with an inexpressible sense of comfort.
However, despite the care and concern shown towards Yi Anran, the very first person he wanted to see when he opened his eyes in the morning was still the woman he shared the same bed with.
Today, he could not help but feel elated when the woman dared to address him as her husband in public and even confidently snatched him over. At the same time he was worried if she found out about Yi Anjing, she would question him about it. Would she overthink and lead to cracks in our relationship?
However, her enthusiasm which appeared out of the blue vanished and silence took in an instant. As such, it saved him from the trouble of having to provide an explanation.
As such, their relationship returned back to square one.
Mu Yu was extremely focused on jotting down notes on her notebook. However, deep down she was merely looking for things to keep her busy and occupied in order to divert her attention from her emotions. Nonetheless, when she thought about being able to look into the case as a member of the task force on the following day, she could not contain her excitement. After all, she was merely a novice and it was an honor to be able to take part of such a task force.
In order to be in her best state of mind to participate in the investigation tomorrow, she put away her notebook and tried her best to remove the distracting thoughts in her mind so she could have a good night’s rest.
The next day, she woke up extremely early and had breakfast with Grandfather. She didn’t bother waking up Qin Jinhuan but instead asked Qi Han to send her to the office.
She arrived far too early thus there were no other members from the task force in the lobby they had arranged to assemble at. She decided to return to the forensic lab and do some cleaning.
She arrived at the entrance of the forensic lab and just as she was about to push the door open, she heard a loud bang from within. Feng Rubing was shouting, “What are you doing here? Get out!”
What’s going on? Mu Yu was shocked.
“Hey! You, you, let go of me! Let go of me!”
Oh no! Somebody is holding Forensic Doctor Feng hostage!
Mu Yu who panicked did not think twice and whipped out a scalpel from her beg as she kicked the door open. At the same time, she shouted, “Let go of Forensic Doctor Feng! This place is…”
Damn! What did I just see!
She was dumbfounded.
