Chapter 556: 558 Attacked (7)_1
Qin Mochuan looked at Qin Moting. At this very moment, he was clearer than ever. There were things he could admit to, but there was one thing he could never confess: harming the third and the youngest!
For other matters, with the Qin Family as his backing, the worst he might face was a few years behind bars, and afterward, he would still be known as Third Master Qin.
But admitting to this particular crime would be different, for then he would have no standing within the Qin Family.
Taking a deep breath, he looked at Qin Moting, "Youngest brother, if you don’t trust me, I have nothing to say."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Qin Shaojin hit play, and the nurse’s voice emanated from the recorder, "Fang Tong said that in a few days she’ll be the rightful young mistress of the Qin Family."
Qin Mochuan felt extreme disappointment in Fang Tong upon hearing this. Drinking was one thing, but to drink to such an extent without regard for the situation, blurting out whatever came to mind!
No wonder Huo Jinnan had no regard for such a woman—a waste of a pretty face, one that strikingly resembled Shaoling, and yet utterly useless in the end.
It seemed that this pawn was to be completely discarded!
He turned to Qin Moting, "Fourth brother, speaking of which, I also find the matter with Tongtong rather suspicious. Mom called me, and I am looking into it."
Qin Moting said nothing, his gaze shifting to Qin Shaojin.
Qin Shaojin nodded, "Uncle Third, you are very good."
Pocketing the recorder, he hooked the corner of his mouth slightly, "Well, then I don’t understand why you went to such lengths to help Huo Jinyun, Uncle Third?"
Qin Mochuan hesitated, "I... I have something on her."
"What exactly?"
"..."
Qin Mochuan fell silent, his demeanor evasive.
When he knew that the person marrying the youngest brother was Wen Ru, he had prepared himself for the worst and planned accordingly.
As long as he could pin all the responsibility on Huo Jinyun, he believed she would be confused enough in the hospital already.
With this thought, he felt somewhat relieved, closed his eyes, and spoke as if his heart was chilled, "Third, youngest, I’m a Qin Family man; I would never lay a hand on my own. I’ll admit to what I’ve done, but for the things I’ve never done, even if all evidence points to me, I would deny them. Investigate if you must."
Qin Shaojin and Huo Jinnan exchanged glances. Could he truly be unafraid? Did he really think he could pin everything on Huo Jinyun alone?
Huo Jinnan remained silent, his brow furrowing slightly as he looked at Che Huan beside him.
After the previous scenes, Che Huan seemed to gradually understand. Qin Mochuan coveted the position of the Qin head, and without children of his own, her and her mother’s presence undoubtedly became obstacles for him, thus he sought to eliminate her first!
But what she didn’t understand was why, given that her mother and the head of the Qin Family were already married, Qin Mochuan still brought the Fang Tong affair upon himself, which made little sense.
Feeling Huo Jinnan’s grip tighten on her hand, she came back to her senses and smiled gracefully.
Qin Mochuan had thought today would present an opportunity for him to succeed, but instead, he had given them a hold over him and truly enraged Huo Jinnan.
And seeing the smile on Che Huan’s face was particularly irritating!
Had they discovered the tracker early on and were just waiting to catch him in the act?
Yet, this was not what he feared most. What he feared most was whether Moting had remembered anything at all.
He turned to look in Qin Moting’s direction.
Qin Moting said to Ji Yan, "You assist Third in investigating this matter; we must get to the bottom of it."
As soon as he finished speaking, he turned to Qin Mochuan, "Huanhuan is my daughter, Third Brother. Is this what you call not laying hands on your own?"
