Chapter 94 Qin Shu’s Worry
In the study room of the villa, military area.
Ling Mohan asked in a deep voice, “What did you find?”
“The Han family,” He Ting’s voice sounded very cautious, “according to the customer service staff’s recollection, when Professor Qin and Professor Tang quarreled in the hotel, she heard them mention the Han family several times.”
Ling Mohan snorted coldly. “Sure enough, it was them who interfered!”
The Han family was different from the Ling family. This clan was a newly rising warlord of State A. In peacetime, it was very difficult for them to obtain military power by relying on military merits. Therefore, they urgently needed to do something else to obtain greater political power.
The Ling family and the Han family were political enemies, especially in terms of military power. Over the years, the Han family had always been subordinate to the Ling family. No wonder the Han family had cast eyes at the military chemical and biological weapon project that Professor Qin was studying.
As for what role the Han family played in the car accident between the Qin and Tang families, it was not clear yet, but it was sure that the Han family had intervened in the military chemical and biological weapon research project.
Ling Mohan pondered for a moment before ordering, “Investigate if the Han family had interfered with Professor Qin’s research project. Was the car accident related to the Han family? Also, find out why Professor Qin and Professor Tang quarreled. Even if they quarreled about just ordinary work, we must investigate them clearly!”
Most of the time, the key of the matter was hidden in ordinary incidents. This was Ling Mohan’s experience as a high-level special forces soldier.
“Yes, Colonel!” He Ting replied in a deep voice, and then paused for a moment before continuing, “According to the investigation so far, there is nothing strange about Miss Qin’s situation three years ago. Why don’t I send you all the information I found later?”
“En,” Ling Mohan agreed.
After hanging up the phone, He Ting sent him an email through the military’s special network communication channel. It was as big as three G. It could be seen that the investigation was very detailed.
Ling Mohan remembered Qin Shu’s lies and his face darkened slightly. He immediately opened the document and read it seriously.
Compared with the results of Ling Mohan’s previous investigation, this information could be said to be extremely detailed, so as to the extent that it even found out on which day Qin Shu had dinner with whom and what the dishes were at the dining table. It was also sufficient to show how terrifying the investigation department of the military was!
For example, on the second day after Qin Shu’s birthday, she and Ji Chen appeared at the most famous snack street in City Lin. The two of them ate from the beginning of the street to the end of it and didn’t return to the military compound until midnight.
According to the objective investigation, Qin Shu was not in a good mood that day, so she quarreled with the owner of the stall in the snack street who sold roasted squid. The stall owner still remembered Qin Shu’s sharp words.
“Heh!” Ling Mohan snorted coldly again.
Of course, he knew why Qin Shu was in a bad mood. It was only because that the person who slept with her the night before was him, not Ji Chen. As a result, the next day, this woman couldn’t wait to go to Ji Chen and eat and drink with him late into the night!
Bang!
The more Ling Mohan read the information, the more annoyed he became. He was so angry that he punched the desk. Then he simply closed his notebook and angrily went back to the bedroom to bother Qin Shu.
But when he returned to the bedroom and saw Qin Shu sleeping peacefully, Ling Mohan could only suppress his anger and wander around the room. He wished he could wake up the little woman on the bed right now and question her why she went to another man the day after she had sex with him.
Qin Shu slept soundly. She didn’t know that there was a man in the middle of the night who was restless because of a tiny matter she had once done. She rolled over and continued to sleep comfortably.
As Ling Mohan wandered around, out of the corners of his eyes, he caught a glimpse of her pajamas being lifted up, revealing two slender and smooth legs that were as exquisite as fine jade. They seemed to be a fatal temptation.
His eyes narrowed and his Adam’s apple slightly rolled. Without hesitation, he walked over to hold Qin Shu’s calf and stroked it downwards. Finally, he held the pair of her palm-sized feet. The slender feet were smaller than his hands.
Ling Mohan raised his eyebrows gently and played with Qin Shu’s feet for a while, then bit her calf angrily.
“Ouch!” Qin Shu snorted. She thought that it was a mosquito that bit her. She opened her eyes in a daze and surprisingly discovered that Ling Mohan was right beside her, while her legs were in his hands.
She opened her eyes wide and then woke up. “You bit me? Are you crazy?!”
“I’m happy.” Ling Mohan felt uncomfortable when he thought of her and Ji Chen once being together. He bent over to bite Qin Shu’s mouth and said, “I’m the one who’s eating with you and sleeping with you now. In the future, I’ll be the only one who can do these with you!”
“Okay, okay, okay. Whatever you say.” Qin Shu was so sleepy that she didn’t hear what he said clearly. She just nodded and agreed to his words.
Then she tilted her head, closed her eyes and fell asleep again.
Finally, Ling Mohan was somewhat satisfied. He wrapped Qin Shu in his arms and turned off the light to sleep.
Perhaps it was because Tang Anru kept mentioning about things in their childhood when she was at the gathering party with her classmates tonight, Qin Shu dreamed of returning to the year she was seven years old and felt in a trance. At that time, her parents hadn’t died because of the car accident, and Uncle Tang and Auntie Tang were also fine.
“Qin Shu, can we wear the same skirt?” Tang Anru came to Qin Shu’s house excitedly with a small bag.
Qin Shu wrinkled her nose and was a little unhappy. “We can’t climb the tree in a skirt. Mommy said that people would see our butt.”
Tang Anru pulled Qin Shu’s hand and swayed it constantly. She said in a spoiled tone, “But I want to wear a beautiful skirt. Wear the same skirt with me, please. Is it… is it you don’t like to play with me, so you don’t want to wear the same skirt as me?”
As she spoke, tears oozed out of her big eyes.
Qin Shu hurriedly shook her head. “It’s not like that. I like to play with you, Anru. Mm … Alright, we won’t climb trees today. Let’s wear the beautiful skirt and go out to play together.”
Tang Anru then smiled through tears.
In the dream, the two little girls wore two identical skirts and walked away with laughter, hand in hand.
Qin Shu looked at all of this like a bystander and felt sad in her heart. Immediately after, the scene shifted in the dream, Uncle Tang appeared in the living room of Qin Shu’s home and said to Father Qin with a smile, “Coincidentally, Anru and Little Shu’s school is out. Our two families can go out to travel together and let the children widen their eyes.”
“It’s hot now, so it’s not bad to go out for avoiding the summer heat.” Mother Qin agreed.
Father Qin nodded and said, “Alright, let’s put down the project in our hands for now and go out to relax.”
No, you couldn’t go, you couldn’t go for travel!
Qin Shu shouted loudly, but no matter how she shouted, she could not make a sound. She could only watch helplessly when her parents packed their luggage and the young Qin Shu also happily packed her small backpack and prepared to go out for a trip.
Everything was the same as fifteen years ago.
On their way back, they encountered heavy rain. On rainy days, the road was slippery and the car skidded. Father Qin stepped on the brakes as usual, but this time, the brakes did not work.
“The brakes failed!” Father Qin shouted.
The next moment, the car flew out of control and crashed into Uncle Tang’s car at the side…
“No!” Qin Shu screamed and suddenly woke up. Before her eyes was pitch black.
Her body was tightly hugged, and the man’s deep and powerful voice rang in her ears, “What’s wrong, did you have another nightmare?”
The bedroom was very quiet. Qin Shu heard herself panting anxiously. After calming herself down for a while, she said, “It’s fine, I’m fine.”
She opened her eyes wide and stared at the dark ceiling. She felt wet all over, and her pajamas were wet with cold sweat and stuck to her skin. She felt a little uncomfortable.
But Qin Shu didn’t want Ling Mohan to find this out, so she lay motionless.
Unexpectedly, Ling Mohan turned on the small lamp beside the bed and the bedroom was immediately lit up with a warm and gentle orange color.
Qin Shu closed her eyes slightly and put her hand on her eyes, somewhat unaccustomed to the sudden light.
Ling Mohan took her hand off and said in a deep voice, “You have something on your mind.”
Qin Shu subconsciously pulled at the corner of her mouth and tried to cover it up, “I eat well, drink well, sleep well, and have a handsome man like you to sleep with me. What can I worry about?”
She intended to turn over and turn her back towards Ling Mohan.
Ling Mohan refused to let her move and pressed his hand on her shoulder. Suddenly, he reached out and put his hand into her pajamas.
“What are you doing? Why are you playing a hooligan this late at night and don’t you sleep?” Qin Shu said angrily.
Ling Mohan touched her waist and frowned, “Why are you sweating so much? What kind of nightmare scared you to this extent?”
Seeing that she couldn’t hide anything, Qin Shu sat up and said with a smile, “Do you really want to know?”
“Speak directly,” Ling Mohan ordered.
Qin Shu began to fabricate nonsense, “It’s just a dream of a ferocious beast. It opened its big and bloody mouth, wanting to swallow me up with a bite! Wouldn’t that scare me into a cold sweat? I won’t watch those bloody documentaries of the animal world anymore.”
Ling Mohan stared at her and didn’t say anything.
Qin Shu’s scalp was numb from his stare, and she hurriedly found an excuse to say, “I’m going to change clothes.”
Ling Mohan looked at her back and slowly knitted his eyebrows.
He knew that Qin Shu wasn’t telling the truth, and this woman was lying again!
If he couldn’t even tell such an obvious lie, then he would have been a special forces soldier for nothing.
However, what could Qin Shu be worried about? She hid something from him and wasn’t willing to reveal anything at all.
Ling Mohan did not like Qin Shu’s way of hiding something from him at all. It was as if he was an outsider who had nothing to do with her. But she was giggling at Ji Chen and could tell him anything!
The more he thought about it, the unhappier he became!
When Qin Shu returned from changing her clothes, she was suddenly pressed down by the man as soon as she climbed onto the bed, and her chin was forcefully pinched up.
“You’re hiding a lot from me,” Ling Mohan said coldly, and his tone was very certain, “why didn’t you tell me? I’m so untrustworthy to you?”
Qin Shu blinked and innocently denied, “No, well, Colonel, why are you interrogating me this late at night? Don’t you sleep? I’m not your prisoner.”
As she spoke, she yawned loudly, water gathering in her eyes, indicating that she really wanted to sleep.
Ling Mohan’s face darkened and he stared at Qin Shu for a while without saying anything. Finally, he said coldly, “Just sleep. But you need to get up early and go running tomorrow morning!”
He started to torture her again?
Inhuman bastard!
Qin Shu cursed inwardly and forcefully turned her back towards the man to express her protest and dissatisfaction.
The bedroom fell into darkness again.
Ling Mohan hugged the fragrant and soft body in his arms, but the space between his eyebrows didn’t smoothen.
Since Qin Shu was unwilling to say anything, he would find out one thing after another and see what this little woman was hiding from him.
