Welcome Back, Child
"He Shao, our men found Qiao Hui."
Qin Dong said in a low voice.
"Oh? Where is she now? "He Shaochen asked.
Qin Dong wanted to say something but stopped.
He Shaochen saw his unusual behavior and frowned. "If you have something to say, just say it."
"Yes." Qin Dong replied and said slowly, "Actually, when we found Qiao Hui, she was already dead."
"Dead?"
He Shaochen's eyes flashed.
Qin Dong nodded and handed the photo of Qiao Hui's tragic death to He Shaochen. "Qiao Hui was tortured to death. She died in a very tragic way."
He Shaochen just glanced at it and didn't want to look at it again.
This kind of photo was simply dirty to the eyes.
He threw the photo aside and said coldly, "Don't tell Young Madam about this."
He was afraid that she couldn't accept it.
Unfortunately, Qin Dong said, "I'm afraid that won't work. Young Madam already knows about this."
"Who said so?" He Shaochen's tone suddenly turned cold.
"Her executive, Adam."
He Shaochen narrowed his eyes. It was that man again.
"I asked you to investigate Adam's real identity. How's the investigation going?"
Qin Dong frowned and said, "He Shao, Adam's identity is not simple. Half of the people we sent to investigate are dead or injured. Those people have strong anti-reconnaissance skills and are ruthless. They don't leave anyone alive if they're caught."
Ever since they found out about Adam's fake identity, Adam's faction had sensed that someone was secretly investigating them. Then, they launched a counterattack. Those people's abilities were not inferior to the He Clan's guards at all. They faintly showed signs of being on par with them.
Thinking of those brothers who died tragically, Qin Dong couldn't help but say, "He Shao, let's not continue investigating Adam. That man's background is very deep. The organization behind him is definitely not ordinary. If we continue investigating, they may take revenge."
Qin Dong didn't know how to express his anxiety.
The more he investigated, the greater the fear in Qin Dong's heart. He was not a timid person, but this time, it gave him a very bad feeling.
That organization was like a huge monster entrenched in J Country. Their main force was in A Country. There was a saying that a strong dragon could not defeat a snake in its own territory. This saying was not without reason. Moreover, He Shaochen frequently came to J Country because of Qiao Qiao. If he was targeted by that organization, the consequences would be unimaginable.
"Heh, do you think I would be afraid of them?" He Shaochen sneered with disdain.
"He Shao!"
Qin Dong cried out.
He knew that He Shaochen was not afraid, but as He Shaochen's bodyguard, he had to protect him.
He Shaochen rarely saw Qin Dong's face so serious, and he also had doubts in his heart.
He Clan's investigation network was unable to find out about the mysterious organization. What kind of existence was it? With such power, and specially placed people around the J Country's Crown Prince, could it be that they wanted to control the entire J Country through the Crown Prince?
What a joke!
J Country was Qiao Qiao's country. How could he allow such power to threaten Qiao Qiao? He had to find them and completely eradicate them.
But at this time, the computer in front of He Shaochen suddenly turned blue.
Then, a line of blood red J Country characters faintly appeared.
"Don't meddle in other people's business."
"He Shao!"
Qin Dong exclaimed.
He Shaochen gave him a look to calm him down.
His gaze was fixed on the computer screen.
To be able to hack into He Clan's network, in this world, there should not be more than five.
The first was An Ziyan. Although he was usually joking around, he had to admit that his hacking skills were very good. Once, as a joke, he had hacked into He Clan's network. After being discovered, He Shaochen taught him a lesson, directly causing An Clan's stock price to drop by ten points that day.
After that, He Shaochen asked people to upgrade the network system. An Ziyan wanted to hack into it again, but he did not succeed even once.
The second was Freya's hacker group. But Freya was already dead, so it was not within the scope of the plan.
The third was the world's top hacker. But that person was already a member of A Country's Ministry of Defense, so he should not be so suicidal.
The rest was a conservative estimate that they had reserved.
Whether they existed or not, this was unknown.
Could it be that the organization also had top hackers? This time, it was just to give him a warning?
"Ha."
He Shaochen laughed.
Qin Dong suddenly felt uncomfortable. At this time, He Shaochen, how could you still laugh?
"I thought that if they really wanted to give me a warning, they would have completely paralyzed He Clan's network system. The people in that organization are surprisingly gentle."
"Uh, this …"
After He Shaochen said this, Qin Dong also felt a little strange.
It was just a simple warning. It was indeed different from the ruthless style of that organization.
He Shaochen's dark eyes were overflowing with murderous intent. He said coldly, "I don't care what organization they are from. If they dare to target Joe Qiao, I will make them pay a heavy price!"
— —
When the Qiao Family heard the news of Qiao Hui's death, Aunt Joe fainted on the spot.
Father Qiao also looked like he had suffered a great blow, and instantly aged more than ten years.
Qiao Qiao was also a little dazed, but she still arranged for people to help her father and Aunt Joe settle down. Then she said to Adam with a trembling voice, "Take me to see Qiao Hui."
Adam was stunned and tried to dissuade her. "Your Highness, Miss Qiao's body is seriously festering. If you see her …"
Qiao Qiao's eyes were bloodshot. She looked at Adam and said word by word, "I said, I want to see Qiao Hui!"
Adam saw the determination in Qiao Qiao's eyes and knew that it was useless to dissuade her.
He sighed softly. "I'll say this first. If Your Highness feels any discomfort, even if it means going against your will, I will take you away by force. Please keep this in mind."
"Okay."
Qiao Qiao agreed.
They went to the morgue.
They walked to the morgue where Qiao Hui's body was placed. It was covered with a layer of white cloth.
"Your Highness, do you really want to see it?"
Adam asked again with uncertainty.
Qiao Qiao looked at him coldly and asked, "How many times do I have to repeat the same thing?"
Adam: "…"
He asked someone to lift the white cloth. Under the white cloth was a badly mutilated corpse.
Qiao Qiao walked to the corpse in a daze. When she saw the half-mutilated face, her eyes widened as she stared at it. Her sister, who had lived with her for more than ten years, was lying there without a sound.
She was actually lying there forever?
Her whole body was trembling violently, and a strong sense of nausea surged up.
She immediately started retching.
"Blergh …"
Her stomach was churning, and she was about to vomit gastric acid.
"Lilith!"
Seeing that something was wrong, Adam immediately picked up Qiao Qiao and carried her out of the morgue.
Outside the morgue, Qiao Qiao still couldn't stop her nausea.
She couldn't control her tears and her whole body was trembling. It wasn't that she hadn't seen a dead person before, but Qiao Hui's death was too horrible. She didn't even look human. She couldn't even be considered a human, but a piece of flesh with human characteristics.
How could this be?
Why did Qiao Hui die?
If she hadn't chased her away last night, would none of this have happened?
"Blergh … Cough, cough …" Qiao Qiao retched for a long time, but nothing came out. Her throat was so painful that it felt like it was on fire. Her coughs resounded throughout the corridor.
"Lilith, calm down." Adam supported her to prevent her from losing control and hurting herself.
No matter how bad Qiao Qiao was, in Qiao Qiao's opinion, it wasn't a crime that deserved death. But why did she die in such a way?
She wasn't human at all.
"It's my fault. It's all because of me that Qiao Hui died." Qiao Qiao hugged her head, her whole body trembling uncontrollably.
It was all because of her. It was all because of her.
Why did she have to chase her sister away?
How was she going to explain it to Father Qiao and Aunt Joe now? She didn't even dare to let them see Qiao Hui's body!
"It's not your fault, Lilith. Qiao Hui … Miss Qiao Hui's death has nothing to do with you. According to our investigation, the person she was working with decided to kill her after using her. I'm sorry, but by the time I chased after her, she had already been taken away."
Adam lowered his eyes and said calmly.
His voice was so calm that it was as if he was reading a speech from a script. It was flat and straightforward, without the slightest fluctuation.
"Who was she working with?"
Qiao Qiao turned her head around abruptly and asked angrily.
Adam's gaze shifted and he said calmly, "It was Ravel."
"Him again? I should have known, I should have known! "
Qiao Qiao gritted her teeth and was unable to restrain her anger. "How much does that man want to take away from me? It wasn't enough for him to kill my parents and kill me. Now he's shifting his target to my adoptive parents. Adam, I hate him, I hate him so much! I must take revenge! I must make that man suffer a fate worse than death! "
"That's right, Lilith. Ravel must be eliminated. He's the biggest obstacle to your ascension to the throne. You must get rid of him. Otherwise, the people around you will only continue to suffer."
Adam said calmly.
"Get rid of him! Get rid of him! "
Qiao Qiao let out a heart-wrenching roar.
Suddenly, a sharp pain came from her abdomen, causing her expression to change.
"Ugh …"
She clutched her abdomen, the blood draining from her face.
Seeing Qiao Qiao convulsing in pain, Adam's brain went blank. "Lilith, what's wrong?"
"Adam, my stomach hurts."
Qiao Qiao curled up and squatted on the ground.
Adam didn't say anything. He picked up Qiao Qiao by the waist and walked out. He said to his subordinates behind him, "Inform the doctor to rush to ward ZB211 immediately."
"Yes!"
The doctor quickly performed emergency treatment on Qiao Qiao.
About half an hour later, the doctor came out. Adam immediately rushed over and asked, "How is the princess now?"
The doctor looked around and then whispered to Adam, "Your Excellency, let's talk in private."
Adam immediately sensed that something was wrong with the doctor's words. His expression was grave, but in the end, he nodded and followed the doctor to the infirmary next door.
When the anesthesia wore off, Qiao Qiao slowly woke up. Looking at the familiar yet strange ceiling, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.
What's going on? Why am I lying on the hospital bed again?
Qiao Qiao, are you sick?
Adam sat next to her. His side profile was completely submerged in the shadows. His fine golden hair covered his dark red eyes, making it impossible to see his gaze. However, his body was filled with an inexplicable dark aura that made people shudder.
When Qiao Qiao woke up and made some noise, Adam came back to his senses. He turned his head with a gentle smile on his face. He brushed away the loose hair covering her forehead and said, "Lilith, how are you feeling? Does your stomach still hurt? "
Qiao Qiao blinked. Was this still the Adam she knew?
She carefully observed Adam again and found nothing strange. She sighed in relief and shook her head tiredly. "It doesn't hurt anymore. I'm sorry to have worried you."
Adam carefully helped her up and asked, "Seeing that you're fine, I'm relieved. Do you want to drink some water?"
After hearing Adam's words, Qiao Qiao realized that her throat was so dry that it was about to smoke. She nodded. "I want to drink water."
Adam turned around and poured her a cup of warm water. He even tested the temperature before handing it to her.
Qiao Qiao picked up the cup and immediately started drinking.
Because she drank too much, she even broke out into a violent coughing fit.
"Cough cough … Cough cough …"
Adam immediately patted her back and said helplessly, "Drink slowly. Don't rush. Now that you have a little life in your stomach, you can't act recklessly like before, understand?"
When Qiao Qiao heard that, the cup in her hand slipped and wet the blanket covering her body. Adam quickly took the blanket away and sighed. "Why are you so careless?"
However, Qiao Qiao didn't have time to care about that at all. She looked at Adam in astonishment. Her eyes widened as she said in surprise, "Adam, w-what did you just say?"
Adam paused and stopped what he was doing. He looked up and smiled gently as usual. He smoothed Qiao Qiao's hair that fell on the side of her cheek and said with a smile, "Congratulations, Lilith. You're going to be a mother soon."
"Liar …"
"I'm not lying."
Qiao Qiao covered her mouth. After a while, she found her voice again. She still couldn't believe it. "Adam, y-you're lying to me, right?"
Adam continued to shake his head. He looked at her with a serious expression. "No, the doctor has already done a detailed examination on you just now. You're indeed one and a half months pregnant. What a silly child. Why didn't you even notice such an important thing?"
"How could it be? I'm really pregnant. I actually, actually … "
She touched her lower abdomen and didn't know what to do.
Tears.
Flowed down again.
Not because of sadness, but because she was too happy.
She had a child.
After knowing that she couldn't have children anymore, she actually welcomed back the fruit of her and He Shaochen's love.
God didn't abandon her. He gave her the most precious gift when she needed comfort the most.
Qiao Hui had just died. She shouldn't be happy, but the sudden good news diluted her hatred and sadness. Now, she only felt happy. Really happy.
The child was back. Her child was back.
