Chapter 1842: Chapter 168: Southern Tall Trees
Qiao Qiao suddenly reached out and grabbed Qin Shaoling’s arm, twisting it to the side.
"You think your fancy moves can take me on?"
Qin Shaoling laughed, suddenly broke free, and caught Qiao Qiao, pressing her against the wall.
Qiao Qiao didn’t expect such extraordinary skills from her opponent.
Qin Shaoling said, "My second brother taught you?"
Qiao Qiao replied, "Yes."
Qin Shaoling said, "Looks like he’s serious about you."
Qiao Qiao remained silent; does such a thing even need to be said? He wasn’t the type to not take responsibility, and she wasn’t someone to be casual.
Qin Shaoling released Qiao Qiao’s arm, "Because I’m dead now, you should go."
Qiao Qiao suddenly froze and looked at Qin Shaoling.
Qin Shaoling continued, "Not long ago, second brother came to Hong Kong for my funeral, didn’t you know?"
Funeral?
So everyone thought she was dead, when in fact, she’s still alive?
But why is she alive and not letting her family know, making them sadly hold a funeral for her?
Yes, there was a time when he came to see her, and she could clearly feel he was in a bad mood.
Qiao Qiao looked at Qin Shaoling in confusion, "He didn’t tell me."
Qin Shaoling clapped her hands, "It’s not something good, there’s no need to tell you."
Qiao Qiao said, "Then I’ll be on my way."
Qin Shaoling said, "I’ll see you out."
Thinking about her current pregnancy, Qiao Qiao didn’t refuse.
Qin Shaoling picked up her car keys, "Leave your problematic phone with me, I’ll give you a new one. Don’t let anyone install a backdoor again."
Qiao Qiao responded, taking the phone and glancing at it.
Qin Shaoling continued, "The SIM card, I’ll take you to get it replaced. Did you bring your ID card?"
Qiao Qiao replied, "I did."
The two walked out and went to the service center to handle the card replacement.
Qiao Qiao returned to the car, placed the new card into the phone Qin Shaoling gave her, turned it on, and successfully made a call. She looked at Qin Shaoling, "Thank you."
Qin Shaoling didn’t say another word and sent Qiao Qiao back to school.
Not long after Qiao Qiao returned to her dorm, a call came from a number that displayed no phone number.
She panicked and didn’t answer, opting to silence it.
She tossed the phone aside and lay there, her heartstill pounding.
Suddenly, she remembered the person who warned her not to contact anyone from the Qin Family.
But Qin Shaoling faked her death, does that count?
Thinking about this, that cold, eerie voice seemed to echo in her ear.
"Your hypnosis, ordinary hypnotists and therapists can’t undo it."
"You’ll act in ways you never imagined. From now on, I am your master."
...
A week passed without incident, and only then did she feel reassured.
But there was still no news from Qin Shaoling!
That day, a call came in quickly, and she answered to an unfamiliar man’s voice.
"Is this Qiao Qiao?"
Qiao Qiao hesitated and answered, "Yes."
The man on the other end slowly spoke, "You have a package, it will arrive around two in the afternoon. Can you receive it?"
"I can."
Qiao Qiao remembered ordering a loose blouse and maternity pants online yesterday. She hadn’t expected them to arrive so soon!
Having agreed on the time, she hung up the phone.
Thinking of the new clothes, she looked down at her belly, worried that soon it would show, and a loose blouse would help hide it.
As for the pants, she worried that current trousers were too tight, which might not be good for the baby.
She flipped through her phone, finding her photo album empty, wondering if Qin Shaoling might have kept those pictures for her?
She wanted to contact Qin Shaoling but didn’t know how.
