182 Evidence Found

After Qin Huai finished his meal at Old man Wang’s house, on the way back, he asked Chi Jia, “Did you find anything useful?”

“There is indeed something.”

After the two of them returned, Chi Jia closed the door. When they entered the courtyard, he took out the things he had hidden in his pocket.

It was a circular object of unknown material. It was black on the outside and there was an indistinct totem in the middle.

Perhaps it was because it had been soaked in the river for too long, so they could not see what was originally on it clearly.

However, Qin Huai knew.

“Looks like our trip was worth it.” Qin Huai thought to himself.

Chi Jia lowered his head. “Can I continue investigating?”

Qin Huai raised his hand and casually threw the thing on the table, looking like he did not care.

“There’s no need. I’m a dead person anyway. Why should I care so much?” A cold smile appeared on Qin Huai’s face. It did not match his age.

Seeing Qin Huai like this, Chi Jia felt terrible.

On the surface, the Young Master pretended not to care about Madam, but he still insisted on coming to this godforsaken place.

The Great Chang Kingdom was vast. Back then, the divine doctor determined that the Young Master could only live for three months at most. The Young Master made a request to Madam that he would die silently and live out his last three months elsewhere. He was unwilling to stay in his original place.

The Young Master even asked Madam not to let his people continue to follow him. He only wanted Chi Jia to bring the remaining followers back to report after he died.

Madam originally did not agree, but the Young Master was already on the verge of death. It was just that the divine doctor used medicine to help him hold on. In the end, it was because she doted on the child that she decided to grant his wishes.

Back then, Madam had recommended many beautiful places suitable for him to stay in.

However, the Young Master did not like any of them. In the end, he found an excuse to come to Yongding County. The excuse he gave was to follow Zhang Zhan to see the disaster.

However, other than Zhang Zhan, everyone knew that this was just an excuse.

He originally would not come here, but the Young Master wanted to do one last thing for Madam before he died.

Chi Jia thought for a moment and said, “Back then, when we investigated the situation in Yongding County, there was no further progress. Now that we have this evidence, at least it can prove that the Princess was here before.”

There was once a Princess who went missing in the Great Chang Kingdom. The last clues were found in the neighboring area of Qingshan County and Wangbei County.

Chi Jia had never underestimated Qin Huai. The Young Master had displayed extraordinary talent since he was young. In fact, though he did not have much time left, he still had a sharpness and intuitiveness that others did not have.

The Young Master could sense things that many adults did not expect.

Qin Huai neither nodded nor shook his head. “If I were dead, this matter would have been left unsettled. Now that things have come to this, I’ll leave the rest to her. I naturally won’t care anymore.”

After all, Qin Huai did not have that many followers.

Some people knew that Qin Huai had a short life and therefore did not serve him diligently.

Only the group of people under Chi Jia still treated Qin Huai as their Young Master.

Therefore, Qin Huai could not mobilize more people.

But now, he had to start planning well. At the very least, he could not let himself be too weak.

He had to protect Ah Yu and could not be inferior to her other brothers.

This was also Qin Huai’s greatest goal at the moment.

If Madam found out that Qin Huai only had such a small goal in his heart, she would probably sigh in anger.

That talented son of hers had actually become so petty all of a sudden.

“I’ll hand the evidence to Madam now.”

“Alright.”

After spending more than three months investigating, they did not find much clues. Instead, he inexplicably found the key evidence in the waters. Even Chi Jia was still feeling a little dizzy from this strange turn of events.

“Young Master, is Ah Yu-”

He had personally investigated that Ah Yu was a child abandoned by the Xie Manor in the east, and everything else about her was normal.

Especially recently, according to the information gathered by Chi Jia, the suspicion that Ah Yu was a spy had been completely washed away.

She was really a four-year-old girl, but her luck was much better than others.

“If not for Ah Yu, I would have died a long time ago. From now on, no matter who asks you, she will only be an ordinary girl. Do you understand?” Qin Huai’s eyes were filled with warning as he looked at Chi Jia. Then, his eyes softened and revealed a hint of weakness. “You’re the person I trust the most now. There’s nothing I can do to restrain you. If you want to stand on Madam’s side or listen to someone else, I can’t do anything to you.”

Chi Jia hurriedly knelt down. “Young Master, I wouldn’t dare!”

Qin Huai walked forward and helped Chi Jia up, his eyes filled with trust. “You’re the only one I can trust now.”

Then, Qin Huai looked embarrassed and said softly, “You know what I was like in the past. Ever since I met Ah Yu, I’ve felt that it’s a blessing that life is unpredictable. I don’t want anything in my life, but I hope to protect Ah Yu for a while until my life ends. Chi Jia, do you think I can do it?”

Today was the day Qin Huai had spoken the most in his life. Every time he spoke, another layer of ripples appeared in Chi Jia’s heart.

It seemed that the Young Master really liked Miss Ah Yu very much.

This kind of young man’s love was different from the strong feelings between adults. They merely wanted to protect each other with all of their heart.

Chi Jia had mixed feelings in his heart, but in the end, he only said, “I understand.”

Qin Huai was moved. “Thank you.”

Since it was someone the Young Master wanted to protect, he had to protect her even if he had to risk his life.

With that, Chi Jia left with the black object.

When he stepped out of the door, the expression on his face dissipated, leaving only a silent sigh.

When he had turned around, Qin Huai retracted his moved expression, his eyes cold.

Everyone knew that Qin Huai was putting on an act. His heart was not completely warmed.

“Chi Jia, don’t disappoint me.”

After Chi Jia left, another person appeared from nowhere and knelt in front of Qin Huai.

“Young Master.”

Qin Huai nodded, his young voice carrying a hint of authority. “How’s the investigation?”

That person said, “The person who came into contact with Miss Ah Yu previously is from Tonghua County. He’s the third son of the Murong Family in Tonghua County. He happened to pass by here previously…”

After that person finished speaking, Qin Huai waved his hand, indicating that he could leave.

After everyone left, the house fell silent. Qin Huai touched his chest.

Ever since he woke up from that coma, there was no longer any pain there.

“Ah Yu, was my life given to me by you?”

In that case, I’ll protect you with my life.

If Meatball was here, it would definitely be surprised.

This was because Qin Huai’s favorability towards Ah Yu did not exist at first. Later on, the value appeared, but it only reached 90.

Now, it had already become 100 and was faintly golden.

Little Ah Yu naturally did not sense anything. After midnight, she ran to the spatial pocket to plant vegetables.

The wildflowers that she had moved in previously were now very beautiful in the spatial pocket. They were completely different from how they were originally.

“Elf, can I take these flowers out to plant?”
