Chapter 620: DNA Report (2)
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“It’s me.” In a low voice, Ah Mo’s hand that held onto the doc.u.ment folder subconsciously tightened.
Ah Mo took a deep breath, and then said softly, “Master, the DNA results are out.”
When he heard the report, a light flashed in Mu Yuchen’s eyes. He lifted a hand to prop his head up as he asked calmly, “What do they say?”
Mu Yuchen did not reveal any emotions and his expression remained calm.
“It’s a little complicated. Perhaps, it was as you had guessed. The DNA test proves that Qi Qiming and Lings.h.i.+ aren’t father and daughter, but…” Ah Mo paused, frowning even deeper.
“Master, if it’s not him, then all our clues from before… I’m afraid they were all wrong, so all our guesses are disproved, and…”
“Send the results to me.” Mu Yuchen did not say anything further and just hung up.
Zhou Zimo could vaguely guess something had happened just sitting beside him. He asked in concern, “What’s up? Have you found out? Is it really Qi Qiming?”
Mu Yuchen’s calm, handsome expression started to s.h.i.+ft. “I feel thankful, yet I have a headache. Her biological father is confirmed not to be Qi Qiming.”
“It’s not? Who could it be then?”
When Zhou Zimo heard this, he was shocked as well. Actually, he had pretty much set his mind on the person being Qi Qiming because if he was, then it could explain all of the things that had happened!
“Didn’t we already confirm that Mr. Wen is Qi Qiming?” Zhou Zimo looked at Mu Yuchen in puzzlement.
Mu Yuchen sighed. He took his tea and dragged a sip. Quickly, he returned to his steady calmness. “Later, Ah Mo will send the report to me. If it’s not him, then that’d be right. If he was, I’d be at a loss instead.”
“What do you mean by that?” Zhou Zimo had been Mu Yuchen’s buddy for 30 years, so he could quickly catch onto what Mu Yuchen was trying to imply.
“I seem to have gotten a clue. If it is as I’ve guessed, then I can only say that this lake is deep, and that Qi Qiming is just a chess piece.”
Mu Yuchen’s handsome face flashed with a thoughtful smile. The faint light in his eyes was bright and wise. “That person probably wouldn’t have thought that I’d suspect Qi Qiming so quickly and check for Qi Qiming and Lings.h.i.+’s DNA. Well, at least, he wouldn’t suspect it before Lu Xinlan’s death.”
When he heard this, Zhou Zimo could roughly grasp what he meant. “You’re saying that the person intentionally set a huge trap up to bring your attention to Qi Qiming, letting you know that this Qi Qiming is Mr. Wen. However, they didn’t think that you’d investigate Lings.h.i.+ and Qi Qiming’s relations.h.i.+p at the same time. This person must know a lot about your past with the Qi family. In fact, they must have some kind of grudge with Qi Qiming and want to use you to…”
“If this hypothesis stands, then the Mr. Wen that Xiaye met back then in the tunnel was probably not Qi Qiming himself. Instead, it was that person, or someone that person had sent. The incident at the banquet… This person probably didn’t expect that there’d be variables, and that variable was…”
“Was Lu Xinlan! He definitely didn’t expect that Lu Xinlan would return now. Coincidentally, you found out about Lu Xinlan and Aunt Zixi’s relations.h.i.+p. You investigated Aunt Zixi’s matters through her, and then implicated Qi Qiming, obviously exposing Mr. Wen.” Zhou Zimo’s brows had furrowed into a knot, and then he chuckled gleefully at someone else’s misfortune. “This person was too smart for his own good. He wanted to use Qi Qiming, yet unexpectedly it implicated the previous incidents and exposed himself instead.”
“Yes, if everything happened too smoothly. It would be suspicious. Initially, we both had different starting points. He just wanted to use the incident from five years ago to kick a fuss,” Mu Yuchen said thoughtfully.
“But this is just a guess. If we are wrong, then Qi Qiming is still the most probable suspect.”
“No. Right now, I can basically be sure that the entire thing is being manipulated by one person. You know my intuition has always been quite spot-on,” Mu Yuchen said calmly.
“Well, if it’s as you had guessed, who would that person be? Could it be Qi Feng? I knew that he was probably not dead. In fact, Gu Lingsha has returned to City B. Qi Feng has probably long returned to City Z and is in hiding. He’s in the dark while we’re out in the light. Does he want to fool us?”
Zhou Zimo was extremely puzzled as he found the whole thing unimaginable. He thought about it and said, “That can’t be right. Qi Qiming wants to let Qi Feng inherit Qi Kai. Qi Feng had no reason to trap his old man either, did he? Besides, that Qi Qiming isn’t a fool. He would’ve noticed if Qi Feng was using him. There shouldn’t be any bad blood between him and Qi Qiming. For him, Qi Qiming is fighting to the death with his wife. Even his other biological son was neglected, wouldn’t this be too outrageous?”
The more he pondered over it, the more Zhou Zimo found it confusing while Mu Yuchen’s eyes began to turn rather unfathomable.
“Perhaps it is always the seemingly unbelievable things that are the truth. Okay, let’s not talk about these things anymore. Just pretend you didn’t hear everything I said today. I’ve always been the one moving the chess pieces, and not being the chess piece. Now, I’d like to try this chess piece in hiding. See if I can win by a surprise move.”
Mu Yuchen did not continue and returned to his usual calmness as he lowered his head to drink his tea.
“Whoever tries to get into a battle of the wits and bravery with you will only meet misfortune! I’ll just wait for a good show then. I heard you’ve taken down Qi Lei, haven’t you?”
Zhou Zimo did not continue asking and gaped at him in amus.e.m.e.nt instead. “Qi Lei’s an arrogant and stubborn one. If you can get him on our side, then whether it’s Qi Qiming or Qi Feng, he’ll be a good chess piece for us. Of course, there are no chess pieces on our end, only buddies and friends. He’s actually a pretty decent guy and is someone worth befriending.”
Mu Yuchen looked up at him from his cup and said, “It looks like you regard him quite highly too.”
Zhou Zimo raised his brows with a smile. “I did have some dealings with him before. He looks like a player from the outside, but underneath, he’s actually quite the character. Only you probably know that he’s loyal to Gu Lingsha. All these years, he never seemed to have changed. You actually dared to collaborate with such a dangerous person! Shouldn’t I be admiring your bravery and guts? Aren’t you worried that taking this risk would instead…?”
“I believe him, but I believe my own judgment even more!” Mu Yuchen’s tone was firm and resounding, leaving no room for doubt.
