Chapter 1489: Chapter 1489: He is the Mastermind (1)
Qiao Qiao’s reaction was expected by Su Hongxing.
"There should be a better solution. We can start with Ye Xiandong. Maybe one day he’ll come around and agree to divorce you," Su Hongxing said following Qiao Qiao’s words.
Qiao Qiao looked bewildered, "There won’t be a solution." Unless Ye Xiandong suddenly showed mercy and released her.
They were about to arrive at Qingmu Garden when Age received a phone call.
After the call, Age said to Ye Qilan, "Sir, the security called saying they found an issue with the servant."
"Focus on driving, we’ll discuss it at Qingmu Garden," Ye Qilan instructed.
Ten minutes later, everyone returned to Qingmu Garden.
Ye Qilan called Age into the office and also called the security over. After a thorough inquiry, it turned out the servant had been caught red-handed while secretly calling Xiao Ji.
Upon further inquiry, it was revealed the servant had indeed been bribed by Xiao Ji. Once, when Su Hongxing and Qiao Qiao were chatting about the three lifetime fates with Ye Qilan, the servant overheard and conveyed it to Xiao Ji.
After listening to the servant’s account, Su Hongxing laughed bitterly, "So that’s how it is."
Later, Xiao Ji exploited the situation, using the event of saving Jiang Su, and performed an act implying the soul of Ye Qilan possessed Xiao Ji’s body, making her believe it was true.
They continued to question the servant but didn’t gather any valuable information.
The office was left with only Ye Qilan and Su Hongxing, both pondering over the servant Xiao Ji placed in Qingmu Garden.
"Wife, Xiao Ji is quite an extraordinary person!" Ye Qilan said in a deep voice.
This servant was chosen by Age, originally there were no issues, but Xiao Ji bribed the servant midway. If it weren’t for Ye Qilan’s vigilance and ordering extra monitoring, this time they wouldn’t have stumbled upon it, and they wouldn’t have known Xiao Ji bribed the servant.
Su Hongxing didn’t respond, unsure of what to say. In those years she was away, Xiao Ji had already changed. She thought Xiao Ji had returned to a righteous path, but it seems she was too optimistic.
"He left Qingmu Garden but still monitors our every move. What do you think he wants to do?" Ye Qilan asked again.
"Maybe he hasn’t given up on me yet?" Su Hongxing said hesitantly.
Is that why Xiao Ji had the servant continue monitoring Qingmu Garden?
She was unwilling to delve into more complicated thoughts.
"Do you think this matter is that simple?" Ye Qilan sighed and shook his head.
He felt that Xiao Ji was far more complex than they could perceive.
Su Hongxing remained silent, immersed in her own thoughts.
Seeing her like this, Ye Qilan didn’t press further.
Xiao Ji still warranted observation; he hoped not to be entangled with Xiao Ji anymore...
Since visiting Du Qingyu last Sunday, Xiaohe had been pondering over who the mysterious man’s silhouette belonged to.
That evening, Ye Qilan called her, asking her to personally monitor Xiao Ji’s every move.
Upon hearing Xiao Ji’s name, inspiration struck Xiaohe suddenly recalling the man she saw at the hospital — wasn’t it precisely Xiao Ji?
No wonder he seemed familiar; indeed, the man was Xiao Ji, whom she had interacted with more than once.
"Sir, I went to the hospital last weekend to see Du Qingyu and happened to see Xiao Ji coming out of Du Qingyu’s room." Xiaohe felt this matter needed to be reported to Ye Qilan.
Xiao Ji and Du Qingyu, two people who hardly crossed paths, how could they be in contact?
