Yu He and Qin Beiting brought their children to Loo City for a week. After the seven-day Spring Festival holiday, they returned to the capital.
On the seventh day, Yu He wanted to open her clinic, but Qin Beiting didn't want her to so soon.
"We're newly married, stay with me a few more days. We've finally reunited."
"Aren't you going to work?" Yu He asked.
The group's normal work started on the seventh day. Due to seven confirmed cases of tuberculosis at the Qin family's old mansion, everyone in the mansion and their close contacts were quarantined. No one went to work. As the head of the family, shouldn't he be there personally?
Qin Beiting said provocatively, "Whether I go to the group or not, it will operate normally. Besides, my assets are enough to support you and the children for several lifetimes. A few days off work won't make a difference."
Thus, the family of four spent another three days playing in an ancient town near the capital.
On the tenth day, Yu He couldn't resist and opened her clinic. If she kept playing, she felt she would be useless. Taking care of children while traveling was even more tiring and stressful than working.
Moreover, after playing for so long, the two children were getting restless and didn't want to study. The spring semester was about to start. Qin Beiting had arranged for them to attend a prestigious kindergarten near their courtyard house, intending to help them focus and prepare for school.
On the first day of the clinic after the holiday, there weren't many patients. Qin Beiting also chose to work from home instead of going to the group. In his study, he was trying to discuss wedding matters with Yu He.
As they were discussing, the atmosphere changed... The study was filled with tender affections, while Chen Dong stood at the study door, unsure whether to enter or not.
Just then, Shi Ban arrived. "Assistant Chen, why are you standing at the door?" he said, pushing open the study door unceremoniously. "Boss, I've found out about the matter you asked me to investigate."
Yu He immediately pushed Qin Beiting away and got up from his lap. Qin Beiting, annoyed by the interruption, shot Shi Ban an unhappy glance, and Shi Ban immediately shrank back.
Chen Dong behind him looked at Shi Ban with pity, thinking, "Brother, now you know why I was standing at the door, right?"
"What did you find out?" Yu He asked, breaking the awkward silence.
Shi Ban coughed awkwardly and began to talk about the main issue. "Five years ago, during the time you had your accident, fifty million yuan was indeed transferred into Qiao Qiao's account. The remitter was a person named Qian San. Two hours after Qiao Qiao received the money, she transferred it to an overseas account belonging to someone named William."
Yu He and Qin Beiting exchanged a look. As expected!
"Then I investigated, and that person named William is an agent for the 'Death God' mercenary group, specializing in taking on missions," Shi Ban added.
"Did you find any information on Qian San?" Yu He asked.
She didn't recall knowing anyone named Qian San.
"Yes, I did." Shi Ban said, rummaging through his bag and pulling out an A4 paper. "This Qian San is a farmer, 56 years old, working in the countryside. His personal information is very simple, finished on one page."
Yu He took it and read it at a glance, then passed it to Qin Beiting.
There was a photo on the document, and Yu He could confirm she didn't know Qian San.
A farmer in his fifties, with whom she had no interaction, could come up with fifty million yuan to harm her. It was obvious someone was instigating him.
"Where did he get the fifty million yuan?" Yu He asked.
Shi Ban shook his head. "That's unknown. He deposited the cash into Qiao Qiao's account, so it's untraceable. In the bank surveillance records, he was the only one who deposited the money."
Cash indeed made it difficult to trace.
"Did you investigate his family members' information?" Qin Beiting asked, his gaze lingering on the "family relationships" section of Qian San's profile.
Shi Ban coughed dryly. "Cough, no."
Qin Beiting frowned and looked at Chen Dong.
Chen Dong was coincidentally there to discuss this matter. Having followed Qin Beiting for so long, he naturally understood his meticulous working style. Without delay, he took out a stack of documents from his briefcase and handed them over. "Information on all nine generations of Qian San's lineage is here."
"Isn't this a bit exaggerated?" Shi Ban was witnessing this for the first time. Was this the working style of Qin Seventh Master's people? Investigating nine generations at the drop of a hat.
Yu He glanced at him. "Learn from Assistant Chen."
Shi Ban felt a bit wronged. "You only asked me to check Qiao Qiao and Ye Zisu's accounts. I even investigated Qian San and William's information..."
Qin Beiting quickly read through the documents and soon pulled out a file named "Qian Mei." "She belongs to Ma Tianfeng's people."
Ma Tianfeng was the real name of the second old madam of the Qin family, Madam Ma.
Yu He leaned closer to look. She didn't have a strong impression of the person in the photo, but she was wearing the uniform of a Qin family servant.
This Qian Mei was Qian San's elder sister. She came to the Qin family as a servant in her teens and stayed for decades, always by Madam Ma's side, becoming one of her confidantes.
Yu He naturally had no grudges against Qian Mei, but Madam Ma...
Madam Ma was the biological mother of Qin Yonghao and Qin Yongyi!
Madam Ma's life's ambition was to groom Qin Yonghao to become the head of the Qin family, even at the cost of sacrificing her younger son, Qin Yongyi. In the end, Yu He sent Qin Yonghao to prison for life, and Madam Huang to hell, never to be reborn.
Madam Ma must have held a lot of resentment towards Yu He. It wasn't surprising that she would try to harm her.
However, after the investigation by the Special Investigation Department five years ago, Madam Ma, as an accomplice, was placed under control. She shouldn't have had the opportunity to instruct Qian Mei to do this.
"Have someone from Beiming investigate this," Qin Beiting said to Chen Dong.
Hearing this, Yu He's eyelashes fluttered. With Beiming's people involved, she had nothing to worry about. She believed there would be a result soon.
Chen Dong's lips moved, wanting to say, "Boss, is it necessary to use a butcher's knife to kill a chicken?"
But thinking of how much the boss always valued Yu He, he was not surprised. "Yes."

Meanwhile, at the Qin family's old mansion.
As all close contacts had been moved to hotels for isolation, the Qin family's old mansion was unusually quiet, but not entirely empty.
Qin Xinhui, who had just returned from receiving psychiatric treatment abroad, had avoided this quarantine.
"Young Master Hui, the management team from the Zong family hasn't been around the conglomerate lately. Now that you've returned to work at the conglomerate, it's the best time for you to take control," Qin Jian said to him obsequiously.
After five years of treatment, Qin Xinhui's mental state was not as unstable as before, but the shadow from that year had always remained in his heart.
"Isn't Qin Beiting at the conglomerate?" he asked.
Mentioning Qin Beiting, a flash of malice appeared in Qin Jian's eyes. It was Qin Beiting and Yu He who had caused his daughter, Qin Meimei, to die. He had sought an explanation from Qin Yongchao but had never received a satisfactory one.
For years, he had endured humiliation and hidden among the collateral branches of the Qin family. He finally waited for an opportunity to avenge his daughter, only to find out that Yu He was so lucky to have survived!
But even if she survived, what difference would it make? They would never know what he had done back then.
Now, all he needed to do was to use Qin Xinhui's name to gather more resources within the Qin Corporation, secure a strong enough position, and then rise up in rebellion against Qin Beiting!
