The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 239 - 236 She’s Not My Daughter!

Chapter 239: Chapter 236 She’s Not My Daughter!

Qin Wan’s condition was gradually getting better, and the cancer cells in her body had also disappeared.

The doctors who had seen her had all said her disease was incurable, but now it had suddenly improved—an event that modern medicine couldn’t explain.

Chu Yan, as Qin Wan’s primary physician, was thought by many to have cured her, but he did not seek this false reputation, telling everyone that Qin Wan had recovered on her own, that a miracle had occurred to her.

As Qin Wan’s health improved, she no longer needed to be hospitalized and could move back to her own home.

Qin Zhao and Qin Yu came to the hospital to take her home.

While they were helping to move her things, Qin Wan suddenly mentioned, "Your dad called me yesterday, asking if Jingjing had come to see me. She seems to have been missing for several days now, with no news."

"He also called me,"

said Qin Yu with a grave expression.

But he and this older brother were not very close, so Qin Kejing didn’t have any particular feeling toward him as her uncle. Normally, they had no contact at all.

It was simply impossible for Qin Kejing to come looking for him.

The night before last, Qin Zhao had also received a call from Qin Siyu.

Qin Siyu’s tone wasn’t very pleasant, and before he could finish speaking, Qin Zhao had hung up the phone. Now in retrospect, it must have been concerning Qin Kejing’s whereabouts.

Thinking of the strange crown yesterday, could Qin Kejing’s disappearance be related to the crown?

Having seen Qin Kejing yesterday, Qin Zhao had indeed noticed something off in her appearance, indicating she might encounter misfortune. But as Qin Zhao and Qin Kejing had always been at odds, she hadn’t warned her.

"After we move the things back, let’s go to your house and check,"

said Qin Wan, looking at Qin Zhao with a complex expression, "Maybe she went to a friend’s house for a few days and forgot to contact her family. Zhaozhao, don’t worry too much."

She saw Qin Zhao was distracted and assumed it was concern for Qin Kejing.

What Qin Wan didn’t know was that Qin Zhao had long been aware of her own origins. After all, Qin Zhao was still, nominally, Qin Siyu’s daughter, Qin Kejing’s sister.

"Let’s go check it out, anyway. It’s been a long time since I’ve been back,"

A flicker of contemplation crossed Qin Zhao’s eyes. She didn’t have any real affection for that family.

The reason she wanted to go back was to find out whether Qin Kejing’s disappearance had any connection to the crown.

Qin Yu first drove them to Qin Wan’s house, where they moved all the hospital’s living supplies and clothing back to Qin Wan’s place, and only then did they set off for the Qin family’s.

Upon arriving at the Qin family’s villa, they happened to see the police coming out.

Qin Wan hurriedly got out of the car and asked, "Has Qin Kejing been found? I’m her aunt."

"Not yet," the police officer looked them over before adding, "All we know is that she disappeared on her way back from a charity event. She had caught a ride with her friend that day.

And that friend, Feng Aiyuan, hasn’t been home recently either."

"Both people have gone missing?"

The officer hesitated for a moment, "It wouldn’t really count as both of them missing since Feng Aiyuan’s family hasn’t reported her missing. It seems they don’t really care about her not having come home these past few days."

"Has Feng Aiyuan been in contact with her family?" Qin Yu asked.

"I don’t know. Her family refuses to answer our questions."

"Why refuse, huh?" Qin Wan demanded. "Could Jingjing’s disappearance be related to her?"

"We have already dispatched a large number of officers to look for Qin Kejing, and we’re going to visit the Feng family again to get to the bottom of this."

The police were in a hurry, busily searching for people and clues, with no time to chat further.

Qin Yu went to park the car, while Qin Wan and Qin Zhao entered the Qin family’s villa.

Upon entering, they heard Zhou Rui’s quiet sobbing.

"What are we going to do? It’s been five days, and there’s still no news of Jingjing."

"How should I know?" Qin Siyu replied impatiently, his nerves frayed these past few days. "I’m sure it has something to do with Feng Aiyuan. Maybe she’s the one who took Jingjing!"

"Yesterday, Shen Xihe came over and said that she bought a crown for Jingjing worth twenty-two million that day. Could Feng Aiyuan have set her sights on Jingjing’s crown and kidnapped her?"

Qin Siyu’s expression turned even uglier. "Very likely. That kind of nouveau riche who’s never seen the world, whose homegrown money comes from dubious sources—who knows what they might do?"

He wouldn’t have thought this way, but with Qin Kejing and Feng Aiyuan both missing, and the Feng family not seeming worried at all, even refusing to answer questions from the police.

If this isn’t a guilty conscience, then what is it?

"I must go to the Feng family! If they really dared to lay a hand on Jingjing, I will never forgive them!"

Feng Aiyuan’s brother, Feng Aicai, and the Qin family thought of them as nouveau riche because their wealth was not self-made, nor was it a legacy from direct ancestors.

They were once ordinary people. Feng Aicai’s uncle was a capable businessman, and after he died of illness at an old age with no heirs, he left his inheritance to Feng Aicai.

Unfortunately, Feng Aicai hadn’t even finished high school and had no idea how to run a company. The company left behind by his uncle soon declined under his management, forcing him to sell it.

With a large sum of money on hand, Feng Aicai wanted to invest, but ended up losing in every venture.

Then he met Qin Siyu, whose company was in trouble, and Qin Siyu conned him into investing, promising dividends and the like.

After Feng Aicai invested, Qin Siyu’s company gradually recovered and started making money. If not for Feng Aicai’s money, the Qin family wouldn’t even bother with them.

Feng Aicai had invested quite a bit in Qin Siyu’s company, and with his extravagant lifestyle, Qin Siyu didn’t know if he still had any money left.

If he was broke, Qin Siyu thought people like that, the nouveaux riches, were capable of doing extreme things!

Qin Siyu stood up, ready to visit the Feng family.

He had just reached the doorway when he ran into Qin Zhao and Qin Wan.

Thinking of the day Qin Zhao hung up the phone, Qin Siyu couldn’t help but sneer. "What are you doing here? You’d probably be happy if something happened to your sister! No good deed goes unpunished; why couldn’t it be you, this good-for-nothing, who met with trouble!"

Qin Wan spoke up discontentedly, "Big brother, what’s that supposed to mean? None of us wants to see anything happen to Jingjing; we all hope she returns safely. And Zhaozhao is your daughter too. How can you talk about her like that?"

"She was kicked out of my house long ago. She’s not my daughter!"

"You...!" Qin Wan was extremely furious inside. She had left Zhaozhao in Qin Siyu’s care only out of sheer necessity.

She had hoped that Qin Siyu and his wife would treat Zhaozhao kindly. She even gave Qin Siyu her savings of several tens of millions so that he could start his company and attain his current status.

But this couple hardly bothered with Zhaozhao at all, typical of those who turn their backs as soon as they get the money. She was the one looking after her daughter in the guise of an aunt!
