Chapter 683: Chapter 684: From Love Comes Hate
A call of “Feifei” let Nangong He know that Weiwei was actually not one to hold grudges, otherwise she wouldn’t address Feifei so affectionately.
With this thought, he couldn’t help but speak up, “She’s not feeling well and is resting upstairs.”
Gu Qiangwei lifted the corners of her lips slightly, “Is that so.”
Then her gaze fell.
“By the way, Weiwei, have you found out who was behind the assassination attempt on Qin Sijue last time?”
Watching the young couple in front of her, Tang Yuyan remembered that Qin Sijue had narrowly escaped death when he returned to Jingcheng, and she was also very eager to know who was behind the attempt on his life.
Facing her mother’s inquiry, Gu Qiangwei looked up and then turned her gaze to Qin Sijue.
At that moment, Qin Sijue looked at Tang Yuyan and said, “It has been investigated.”
One sentence about the investigation being complete drew the focused attention of every person seated on the sofa to his face.
Nangong He had always felt that perhaps the news of his candidacy had been leaked, which was why someone had wanted to harm him.
“What about now? Has the perpetrator been brought to justice?”
Thinking of everything Qin Sijue had been through these days, and the most painful of all being their daughter’s suffering, Tang Yuyan hoped all those who had done evil would be swiftly brought to justice!
“Soon,” Qin Sijue uttered indifferently.
Hearing his response, presumably, he had all the evidence in hand, which allowed Tang Yuyan, Nangong Mingchuan, and Nangong He to breathe a sigh of relief.
However, Nangong He was still curious, although he had retired and steered clear of political affairs, he was still somewhat curious about who had tried to kill him.
“Was it those old foxes?”
Qin Sijue raised his eyes with a confident smile playing on his lips.
Those old foxes in their hearts might not accept that he, at the young age of twenty-seven, had become a candidate, but faced with the Qin Family’s power and status in Jingcheng, they still feared them.
“No,” he replied.
Upon hearing this, Nangong He was somewhat surprised.
If not those old foxes, then was it one of Qin Sijue’s own enemies?
But he knew that Qin Sijue had mostly spent his time abroad and shouldn’t have made any enemies domestically.
“If not them, then who is it…” he instinctively pursued the question.
Fearing that Qin Sijue would be annoyed, Tang Yuyan reminded in a low voice, “Dad.”
She was worried that this might be Qin Sijue’s private affair, and by asking so persistently, it might seem like he was meddling too much.
Wouldn’t it be embarrassing for himself if Qin Sijue gave him a cold look?
However, Tang Yuyan’s concern seemed to be unnecessary because Qin Sijue didn’t seem to think the question was too much, instead, he sported a light smile, looking at Nangong He, “A woman.”
Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.
Only Gu Qiangwei remained calm, looking quietly at his profile.
She knew that Nangong Feifei was still the eldest granddaughter of the Nangong Family, so suddenly exposing the matter might seem very abrupt and even make Grandpa unable to accept it, but if Grandpa kept asking, the situation would naturally unfold.
“A woman?”
“Mm.”
Nangong He was astonished, “A woman, why would she want to kill you?”
“From love arises hate, I suppose,” Qin Sijue said, idly fiddling with the signet ring on his finger.
Though this self-centered-sounding statement seemed dangerous, emanating an unnamed peril, and even from the depths of his clear eyes, one could feel a chilling air spreading out.
As soon as he spoke these words, Nangong Mingchuan seemed to associate them with something, and pausing for a moment, he looked at him and blurted out, “Who is it?”
