Chen Mo walked up to the dining table.
The usually icy beauty, Mo Xiaojing, was now flushed with shyness.
Especially recalling what had happened in the bathroom earlier, Mo Xiaojing couldn't help but feel her face heat up.
Qin Yuyan said, "Eat quickly, you must be exhausted from being out these past few days, right?"
Chen Mo nodded, sat down, and began to devour the food.
"This is your favorite braised pork, I made it myself." Qin Yuyan pushed a plate of braised pork in front of Chen Mo.
"Thank you, Big Sister." Chen Mo ate without any pretense.
He particularly devoured the braised pork, piece after piece.
Seeing this, Qin Yuyan smiled knowingly, her gaze towards Chen Mo filled with doting affection.
The queen-like cold demeanor had vanished without a trace.
"Big Sister, did you all grow up in an orphanage?" Mo Xiaojing asked softly.
Qin Yuyan nodded, "Yes, we all grew up in an orphanage."
"You don't know, back then, the orphanage didn't have much money. Being able to eat meat was a luxury. Every time we sisters could eat meat, we would save it, then sneak into the kitchen. I would take some white sugar, stir-fry it to get the color, and make braised pork for him."
"He was growing then and loved meat. Sometimes, just being able to eat a meal of braised pork made him incredibly happy."
Qin Yuyan's words seemed to pull both of their thoughts back to their days in the orphanage.
Qin Yuyan smiled, "But it's better now. Xiao Mo is doing well, and I don't have to worry about him anymore."
"Now, I'm just hoping you two will have a little one soon, so I, as an aunt, can take them out to play every day."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Hearing this, Chen Mo almost choked on his food.
"Big Sister, what are you talking about?" Chen Mo couldn't help but glare at Qin Yuyan.
Mo Xiaojing, standing beside him, also blushed at Qin Yuyan's words.
Qin Yuyan reached out and tapped Chen Mo's forehead, "Let me tell you, your Seventh Sister said that if you have children sooner, she'll find you celebrities and have you have seven children, with each of us taking one."
"Cough, cough, cough!"
Chen Mo nearly choked to death at Qin Yuyan's words.
"Why doesn't my Seventh Sister have them herself? She wants me to have seven children, and then you all play with them and pass them to me. I'll be exhausted to death." Chen Mo's forehead was covered in black lines.
Mo Xiaojing couldn't help but laugh at this.
The meal quickly concluded.
Because the Mo Group still had matters that required Mo Xiaojing's attention, she couldn't stay the night.
At this time, the heavy rain outside had also stopped.
After seeing Mo Xiaojing off, Chen Mo looked at Qin Yuyan beside him, seeming hesitant to speak.
"Is something wrong?" Qin Yuyan asked.
Chen Mo asked, "Big Sister, the murder of Old Man He wasn't as simple as that jade pendant, was it?"
Qin Yuyan's expression faltered, but she remained silent.
"If I'm guessing correctly, the jade pendant was just a shadow to confuse me. The real reason for Old Man He's death wasn't the jade pendant, but something else, right?"
Chen Mo's gaze was fixed on Qin Yuyan.
Qin Yuyan nodded slightly, "That's right, there is indeed another hidden reason for Old Man He's murder."
Upon hearing this, Chen Mo looked astonished.
He had only been guessing before, he hadn't expected to be right!
"Sister, tell me, what was the real reason? Why did you lie to me?" Chen Mo couldn't help but ask.
"Because you are still too weak. Because with your current strength, knowing the truth would only lead to your faster demise," Qin Yuyan said seriously.
"I'm not afraid! You saw today, even that Grandmaster wasn't my match!" Chen Mo quickly replied.
"Heh, Grandmaster?" Qin Yuyan gave a playful smile.
"Xiao Mo, this world isn't as simple as you see it. Some things, with your sisters here, we won't let you get involved."
Chen Mo stood frozen, utterly bewildered.
"Alright, go back and rest." With that, Qin Yuyan turned and returned to the hotel.
Chen Mo was left standing alone in the parking lot.
"I will find the real killer!" Chen Mo vowed silently, watching Qin Yuyan's retreating figure.
In fact, Chen Mo was only guessing today.
After subduing the Sun family of Chenghai, the Sun family had denied killing He Zhongnan.
They claimed they were only looking for the whereabouts of the jade pendant at He Zhongnan's home.
Chen Mo knew the Sun family wouldn't dare to deceive him.
But Chen Mo didn't understand why Ouyang Zongchen had been so certain that Old Man He was killed by the Sun family back then.
Was it just to frame them?
As Chen Mo pondered, he had already returned to his car.
Then, Chen Mo drove back to the villa.
Meanwhile, in Jinling, at the Qi family estate.
The Qi family estate was unusually lively tonight.
Various luxury cars were parked in the estate, and the conference hall of the villa was already packed.
"Third Brother, aren't you being a bit too hasty with this?"
In the conference room, the atmosphere was heavy.
A middle-aged man questioned coldly.
This man was the Qi family's Second Master, Qi Yuanlang.
"Second Brother, what do you mean by too hasty? A country cannot be without a ruler for a day, and a family cannot be without a head. Now that Eldest Brother has returned to dust, are you saying the position of family head should remain vacant?" the middle-aged man in the black suit replied.
"That's right, Second Brother. If the family head position remains vacant, won't our Qi family become a laughingstock among the Jinling noble families?"
A middle-aged man sitting on the far right quickly chimed in.
The middle-aged man who had questioned first said, "Even if the family head is dead, the one to succeed him should be Xiao Liang, after all, he is Eldest Brother's only son."
"Heh heh."
"Second Brother, Xiao Liang is still a child, what does he know? Moreover, we are a noble family, not a mere corporation. We have to face the ancient martial arts world. With his Dark Energy strength, if he becomes the family head, our Qi family might not be far from annihilation," the third brother, Qi Yuanxiao, sneered.
"I think Third Brother is right. We are a noble family, but Third Brother definitely won't mistreat Xiao Liang. After all, he's his nephew. It would be great if he managed a few companies and became a rich young master," the fourth brother continued to agree.
"My father is right. Qi Xiaoliang can't even beat me. If he becomes the family head, won't our Qi family lose all face?"
A young man exclaimed loudly.
Upon hearing this, everyone nodded.
They all knew that Qi Xiaoliang's strength was too weak.
"Scoundrels! When is it your turn, juniors, to speak?!" Qi Yuanlang roared.
Seeing his second uncle erupt, the young man who had spoken earlier pouted and stopped talking, but his face was full of disdain.
