148 Searching
The next day, Granny Lin had been looking for Lin Zhiqing ever since she woke up. Jian Qingqing comforted her, “Granny, I’ve asked someone to help you look for him. Don’t worry, I believe there will be news soon.”
After a night, Granny Lin had calmed down. She questioned Jian Qingqing with a cold face, “Do you know who he is? Are you lying to me?”
Jian Qingqing was easily guilty when she lied. Under Granny Lin’s burning gaze, she mumbled, “No… I really don’t know him.”
Granny Lin snorted coldly, “Hmph, if you don’t know him, why would he go to the Jian Family Village to talk to you? I saw it yesterday. You weren’t the only one there. If he asked for directions, why would he ask you, a little girl?”
Jian Qingqing lowered her head guiltily and said, “I… Happened to be there that day, so he asked me. I really don’t know him.”
Granny Lin did not say anything. She just stared at Jian Qingqing. After a long while, she sighed, she softened her voice and said, “Girl, I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to pressure you. It’s just that I really want to see him. I know you must know him. He won’t let you talk, right? Granny won’t force you to talk, but I’m begging you. Can you tell him that I want to see him? If he doesn’t want to, I’ll sneak a look at him. I really won’t let him find out…”
At the end of her words, Granny Lin’s voice was choked with sobs, and tears streamed down her face.
Jian Qingqing looked very upset. She said hesitantly, “Granny, don’t cry. I promise you. I’ll go find him right now and tell him these things.”
After Jian Qingqing left, Grandma Lin raised her head and wiped her tears. She looked outside with expectant eyes.
I’m sorry, Qingqing Girl. I did not mean to lie to you.
Jian Qingqing actually did not know where Lin Zhiqing was. She went to Ming Zhiyan and asked for his help.
Ming Zhiyan agreed without saying anything. Since the incident at the Food Shop, he had investigated Lin Zhiqing’s identity. However, he only investigated in Shifeng County and knew very little. He only knew where he lived at that time, now, he did not know if he was still there. He sent an official to look for him.
Jian Qing Qing thanked him gratefully. However, when she thought of Lin Zhiqing, she still felt that it was a little strange.
“Sir Ming, that Young Master Lin went to the Jian Family Village yesterday. He really wanted to go in. I don’t know why he went there.”
Ming Zhiyan’s face turned cold when he heard this. He said seriously, “I will investigate his identity carefully.”
Lin Zhiqing had stayed at the Youfu Inn in the beginning. Later, he had to stay here longer than expected, so he went to rent a courtyard. Since he met Granny Lin Yesterday, he had not gone back, he had been investigating what had happened in the past.
He was still too young at that time and did not know anything. But now, after so many years, all the evidence had been destroyed. He had brought too few people, so he could not find anything in a short time.
He ordered with a cold face, “Call everyone to Shifeng County. I have something to tell you. Also, tell those people in Cairo City to keep a close eye on that place. Double the number of people there and start investigating from him.”
The man in black respectfully acknowledged his orders.
After giving these orders, Lin Zhiqing returned to the medical center. He stood outside and hesitated, not daring to go forward. He just stood outside and looked in the direction of the medical center.
The officer did not find Lin Zhiqing and went back to report. Jian Qingqing had a bitter expression on her face.
Fine, she should not blame herself for this… She had to tell Granny Lin about him.
Ming Zhiyan rarely saw her having a troubled expression. He asked in puzzlement, “What happened?”
