Chapter 169: Chapter 166 My Wife Doesn’t Like to Dine with Other Men

Gong Leyi died, and her soul was suppressed. At first, there was always resentful energy leaking out, which allowed her to communicate with her elder sister through the Spirit Communication Technique I hosted.

The master of the Lu Family detected the problem, worried that Gong Leyi’s soul was growing stronger, so he set a Sealing on her, erasing all her memories.

Qin Zhao helped her break the seal, but her past memories could not be recovered.

Since Gong Leyi had no intention of being reincarnated, Qin Zhao told her everything that had happened during this time.

After listening, the little girl fell silent for a long time and even lost her appetite for snacks.

"Is this my sister?"

The television switched channels, playing a movie starring Gong Lexin.

"Yes, she is a good sister, and she loves you more than anyone else in this world."

Gong Leyi remembered the last time she saw Gong Lexin, her eyes were full of tears.

Did her sister miss her that much?

Gong Leyi felt guilty. Her sister missed her so much, yet she could not remember anything.

Thinking of this, Gong Leyi’s soul faded a bit.

Qin Zhao couldn’t help but comfort her, "Don’t be sad, your sister surely wants you to be happy. There is plenty of time ahead, and we will certainly find an opportunity to take revenge for your sister."

Gong Leyi nodded, feeling a bit downhearted.

Qin Zhao then retrieved her into the talisman so she could recuperate inside.

"Zhaozhao, dinner is ready."

Chu Yan had made dinner and came to call Qin Zhao.

During dinner, he couldn’t help asking, "How is everything going with the Lu Family?"

He had been busy taking care of emergency patients at the hospital these past few days.

Qin Zhao paused in her eating, "The garden of the Lu Family dug up broken bones, but a driver confessed to the crime. We suspect Gong Leyi’s death is related to Lu Zhiheng, but Lu Zhiheng had already fled overseas."

Chu Yan narrowed his eyes, falling into contemplation.

"No wonder he left in such a hurry the day before the banquet. Did they know something was going to happen?"

"Somebody warned the Lu Family, I think it’s the person who arranged the Feng Shui Bureau for the Lu Family."

Chu Yan thought of Qin Zhao’s methods and his expression changed subtly.

It was no surprise that such a powerful individual was behind the Lu Family, always able to evade his plans.

At first, he thought it was just good luck, but he hadn’t expected...

Chu Yan remained silent for a long time, losing his appetite.

"Why don’t you stop investigating for now? The Lu Family is not so simple, with complex relationships behind them. Just the Imperial Capital Criminal Police Team alone can’t cause them any harm.

If you insist on continuing, Huo Xun might be dismissed."

If it were easy to eradicate the Lu Family, Chu Yan would not have endured humiliation to return to the Lu Family.

"I know, but I won’t let them get away with their crimes forever."

Qin Zhao looked up at Chu Yan, "Did you know about all the things they’ve done?"

"I knew some, and some I did not."

Chu Yan smiled, but his eyes did not carry the warmth of the smile.

"But what’s the use of knowing? You guys directly dug up broken bones in the Lu Family’s garden, and still you can do nothing about them?"

Qin Zhao silently continued eating; they did not go on with the conversation.

The next day, Qin Zhao went to the Criminal Police Team early.

She had already informed Captain Huo about Gong Lexin’s death, so the police team called back the people searching for Gong Lexin from outside and sent them to watch the Lu Family.

Unfortunately, watching the Lu Family was futile. Lu Zhiheng was laying low overseas and definitely wouldn’t be coming back any time soon.

Even if they returned, they might not be able to do anything to him.

The case had progressed to this point and had to be concluded according to the Lu Family’s plan.

The only one who should feel lucky was Shen Xihhe. If it weren’t for the press conference and the Lu Family digging up the broken bones, he would have been wrongfully convicted for sure.

Huo Xun had said previously that they would release Shen Xihhe, but the proper procedures were only completed today.

"Captain Huo, thank you for uncovering the truth and restoring my innocence."

Shen Xihhe had spent this time in prison with complex and uneasy emotions, and now he was sincerely grateful to the Criminal Police Team.

"No need to be polite, this is our duty."

After expressing his gratitude, Shen Xihhe realized Qin Zhao was at the police station, which surprised him.

"Qin Zhao, what are you doing here?"

Huo Xun explained, "Miss Qin is an external staff member of our police station and often helps us with investigations. Your case was cleared largely thanks to the crucial clues she discovered."

Qin Zhao saw Shen Xihhe but didn’t have much of a reaction.

"If there’s nothing else, I will be heading back now."

After saying farewell to Huo Xun, Qin Zhao prepared to leave.

But just as she reached the doorway, Shen Xihhe approached.

"Qin Zhao, although I don’t know why you’re working with the Criminal Police Team to solve cases, I still want to thank you."

Shen Xihhe looked at her with a complex expression, and his feelings underwent a subtle change.

When the Gardener recanted his statement, he knew he had been set up, and the Lu Family was behind it.

Although the Shen Family held some standing in Imperial City, they were nothing compared to the Lu Family.

Family members ran around on his behalf, but all the contacts who knew about his conflict with the Lu Family treated them like a plague, unwilling to get involved in the matter.

His time in prison was probably the most hopeless period of Shen Xihhe’s life.

If not for the later unexpected developments, he might have been sentenced to over ten years; even with good behavior and a reduced sentence, his life after release would have been almost ruined.

So, in that moment, he was truly grateful to Qin Zhao and the Criminal Police Team.

Shen Xihhe said to Qin Zhao, "Could I invite you to dinner sometime? Regarding the canceled engagement, I did go wrong in certain aspects, and I’d like to sincerely apologize to you."

"Mr. Shen, no need to be formal, my wife doesn’t like dining with other men."

Right after Shen Xihhe’s question, Chu Yan walked into the police station from the entrance.

The cool and handsome man glanced at him with an icy look that held a touch of hostility.

Chu Yan was a favored figure in the eyes of Lu Tingming.

Upon seeing him, Shen Xihhe’s face darkened instantly.

This man had been full of animosity towards him since their first encounter, leading Shen Xihhe to suspect whether Chu Yan had said something to Lu Tingming, contributing to their framing Shen Xihhe.

"Mr. Chu, it seems like you really don’t like me?"

"Who would like a man who has had an engagement with his wife? You seem to have asked a pointless question."

"We did have an engagement, but in our youth, who doesn’t have fond memories?"

If this were the Shen Xihhe of the past, it would have been difficult to define his time entangled with his former betrothed as fond memories.

But Chu Yan’s barbed comments led Shen Xihhe to retort.

Sure enough, the words stung the reserved and cool man before him.

Chu Yan’s expression gradually grew dark.

Pleased with the response, Shen Xihhe smiled, "Although the past has become a regret, reminiscing about it still has its charm. Besides, this time, thanks to Qin Zhao, I was able to clear my name.

If there’s a chance, I’d still like to treat her to a meal."
