Qin Sheng's heart skipped a beat. All her guesses were correct. It must have been Gong Mochen's father.
If Nan Gong Chi wasn't Gong Mochen's father, he wouldn't have cared so much.
"Why can't I know about Nan Gong Chi? Even if you crush my arm, I already know. How much more do you want to hide from me?" Her arm was hurting from the man's grip.
Only then did Gong Mochen realize that he was squeezing Qin Sheng's arm too hard. He let go of her arm. "That's not something you should know."
"Because my father's death is related to your father? Only one of them is alive?" Qin Sheng probed.
Gong Mochen's expression changed. He grabbed Qin Sheng's arm. "I'll take you back."
Qin Sheng raised her hand and wanted Gong Mochen to let go of her arm. Unfortunately, the man was holding her too tightly. She couldn't shake him off. "Let go of me! I don't want to go back! Why are you afraid that I'm here? Afraid that I'll discover something?"
"There's nothing for you to discover here. I don't want you to waste your time!" Gong Mochen's tone was stiff.
He wasn't afraid that Qin Sheng would discover anything. Clearly, there was nothing here that could be discovered.
Everything had been rummaged through. Someone was even faster than Nie Feng. He just didn't want Qin Sheng to stand here. If she stood here, she would be closer to Qin Zixuan, closer to the past that he didn't want her to know about.
Qin Sheng's heart ached. "I'm wasting my time? If I'm wasting my time, how would I know about Nan Gong Chi? Even if you don't tell me, I have a way to find out everything!"
She shook off the man's arm and ran out of the side building.
He Fen and Qin Zirui were standing in a window of the main building.
"Are they all clean?" He Fen asked.
"Don't worry, they're all clean. Everything that needed to be burned has been burned, and everything that needed to be kept has been kept. I think we're not far from taking back the Qin family's company." Qin Zirui smiled sinisterly.
"That's right. How can we let Qin Sheng take away our property? Her father couldn't do it back then, and now she can't! Make the company more lively over the next few days. I want to see how this little girl deals with the company's matters," He Fen ordered.
"Don't worry, I planned to do that anyway! What right does big brother have to take away our assets? Just because he was born from a woman of the Zeng family? I'm also father's son!"
Thinking of how he had been suppressed by his big brother for so many years, made him furious. His big brother was a dignified president, and he was just the manager of an overseas company. He felt such dissatisfaction!
"That woman of the Zeng family is nothing, and she still wants to let her son and granddaughter take over the assets. I want her to see who is the real female lead of this family!" He Fen said fiercely.
She had never been the rightful female lead of the Qin family. She hated that so much. Her eyes were fixed on Qin Sheng as she ran back to the main building, and she also saw Li Ang welcoming Qin Sheng.
Li Ang settled Yin Yin in his room before he came out to look for Qin Sheng.
He held Qin Sheng's hand. "What's wrong? Was there anything else in there?"
Qin Sheng shook her head. "It's gone. It's all burnt."
Her eyes were gloomy.
Li Ang reached out to hug Qin Sheng and put her on his lap. "I'll carry you back."
He pressed the button on the wheelchair and whispered into Qin Sheng's ear, "I ran away because I heard someone running upstairs. I was scared of being discovered. I suspect that someone else went there after I left."
Qin Sheng nodded. She didn't refuse Li Ang's hug. She felt tired. If the grudge between her and Gong Mochen was so complicated, their road would come to an end.
"It could've been Nie Feng," she said softly.
"Well, I'll take you back to your room. We'll talk inside." Li Ang took Qin Sheng to her room.
When Gong Mochen caught up with Li Ang, he saw Qin Sheng in Li Ang's arms. He clenched his jaw and his hands balled into fists.
It took him a lot of willpower to stop himself from hitting Li Ang. He knew very well that if he attacked Li Ang now, he would only push Qin Sheng further away.
He turned around and returned to his room. Nie Feng was waiting for him. "President."
Gong Mochen frowned. "What did you find?"
"I found something. Look, there's a letter." Nie Feng took out the letter and showed it to Gong Mochen.
Gong Mochen opened the letter. The letter was already wet, but he could still see the handwriting on it.
The letter instantly took shape in his hand.
"President, the letter seems to be about Nan Gong Chi's life and death duel with Qin Zixuan," Nie Feng said.
He was secretly glad that Qin Sheng didn't find out about these letters. Otherwise, the conflict between her and Gong Mochen would get bigger and bigger.
A moment later, Gong Mochen said, "Nie Feng, don't you think it's strange? Why would they send letters? Even twenty years ago there were mobile phones around, and considering how powerful Qin Zixuan and my father were, I would expect them to have had phones. They were top-notch figures in this country, after all."
He was shocked by the letter. It was consistent with what his mother had told him, that his father had been killed by Qin Sheng's father.
After a moment, the gears in his brain had started to spin and he discovered the problem.
As two top-notch figures, why would they use such a primitive method of communication? Weren't they afraid that a letter would be stolen?
Moreover, the time it took to send a letter wasn't as quick as a phone.
He couldn't understand why two people with such high IQs would choose such a stupid method.
Nie Feng was also confused. "Yes, why did they use a letter? President, are the notes correct?"
"The notes are easy to imitate. If the letter is fake, everything would make sense," Gong Mochen said coldly.
"If it's fake, why did someone make such a letter?" Nie Feng couldn't understand.
Gong Mochen's eyes lit up, as if a spark of hope had gone off in his brain. "Because someone wanted everyone to think that my father's death was caused by Qin Zixuan, and that Qin Zixuan died in a car accident!
"The person who did this was too smart. He wanted to cover up the truth. If he did everything, the rumor would become an indestructible truth that no one would doubt!"
It had been rumored for more than twenty years, so it would be difficult to find any evidence. However, the appearance of this letter had become a new clue for Gong Mochen, making him want to find out what had happened that year.
"If we can find out what happened, that would be great!" Nie Feng said.
"Get someone to appraise this letter for me. I want to know when the letter was written." Gong Mochen handed the letter to Nie Feng.
"Yes!" Nie Feng accepted the order.

On a street near the villa, a few women were sprawled out on the ground, beaten badly, cuts and bruises covering their faces. There were no other houses near the Qin family's old residence, so no-one would come to help...
A figure walked towards them. They opened the water bottle in their hand and poured cold water on the women's faces.
The maids were instantly woken up by the water. They opened their eyes with difficulty and saw a women standing in front of them...
