    Chapter 105: The Appearance of Mr. Qin

    Jin Mo’s plaster cast was finally removed, and looking at his leg, which was a size smaller and covered in black grime, Jin Mo was filled with mixed emotions.

    Leaving the hospital, he leaned on Bai Xian’s back, feeling as light as a feather.

    “Bai Xian, do you think I’m light?” He wrapped his arms around Bai Xian’s neck, brought his mouth close to Bai Xian’s ear, and said with a smile.

    Bai Xian turned his head, met Jin Mo’s eyes that were almost squinting with laughter, and nodded.

    Indeed, he was much lighter!

    Not only was the weight of the plaster cast gone, but Jin Mo’s weight seemed to have decreased as well!

    “You’ve lost weight!” Bai Xian said in a low voice, his eyes somewhat gloomy.

    Jin Mo nodded repeatedly, “Yes, yes, look at my leg, it’s gotten so thin, and it’s covered in dirt! I’m so ashamed! I’ll wash it as soon as I get back, this is too embarrassing!”

    The two laughed as they swayed towards Slow Residence.

    “Huh, there are a few more unfamiliar faces lately!”

    Not far away, there were a few people wandering around! They would occasionally take out their phones to take pictures.

    Bai Xian’s gaze swept over them.

    As they passed Uncle Li’s doorstep, Li Mengyao ran out with a look of surprise.

    “Jin Mo, I finally see you! Ever since you were discharged from the hospital, you’ve been staying at home all day, I can’t find you!”

    The little girl complained with a pout, while glancing sideways at Bai Xian.

    Jin Mo gave her a cold look.

    “What’s it to you if I stay at home?” After saying that, he patted Bai Xian’s shoulder, “Let’s go, let’s go!”

    Li Mengyao snorted, “Jin Mo, you need to open your eyes, some people aren’t necessarily good people! Maybe, he’s a kidnapper!”

    Jin Mo was stunned for a moment, “Kidnapper? What kidnapper?”

    Li Mengyao smiled, “A kidnapper who kidnaps people!”

    Jin Mo immediately became angry, looked at Li Mengyao, and spat out two words, “Crazy!”

    Li Mengyao’s face instantly changed.

    She rushed over and blocked Bai Xian’s path.

    “I didn’t say anything wrong, you’re not an orphan at all, the Bai family stole you! After you left, someone came looking for you!”

    Jin Mo was too lazy to listen to Li Mengyao’s nonsense, “Whether I’m an orphan or not is none of your business, get out of the way, you psycho!”

    Bai Xian raised his eyebrows and glanced at Li Mengyao, his eyes as cold as ice, freezing Li Mengyao in place, unable to speak for a long time.

    Bai Xian walked around Li Mengyao and continued towards Slow Residence, but the previously lively atmosphere between the two had become somewhat stagnant.

    Jin Mo hugged Bai Xian’s neck.

    “Bai Xian, don’t take it to heart!”

    “Mm!”

    “I only want you in the whole world!”

    “Okay!”

    The two returned to Slow Residence, where Xiao Feiwu was sitting in the lobby.

    “Huh, where’s Xu Jiahao?” Jin Mo was very surprised, these two had been going in and out together lately, it was rare to see one of them alone.

    “Oh, he just received a call and said he had something to go out for. I wanted to go with him, but he wouldn’t let me, it’s really infuriating!” Xiao Feiwu said angrily.

    Jin Mo raised his eyebrows.

    At this time, Xu Jiahao was sitting in a luxurious car.

    The car owner was in his forties or fifties, wearing a suit and a pair of silver-rimmed glasses, refined and noble, looking like an elite member of high society.

    It was just that his complexion was a little pale, looking unhealthy.

    Xu Jiahao recognized familiar features on his face at a glance, and his heart trembled.

    “Xu Jiahao!” The other party turned the car seat around to face Xu Jiahao.

    Then, he handed him a document.

    Xu Jiahao took it and glanced at it, his eyelids twitching.

    The thin two pages of paper recorded his deeds for the past twenty-five years of his life.

    He glanced at it, damn, they even found out about the time he secretly filmed someone and fell into the hospital when he was nineteen!

    Impressive!

    He narrowed his eyes and smirked.

    “I’m just a small-time crook, is it worth it for you to spend so much effort investigating me?”

    The elite smiled, “My surname is Qin, you can call me Mr. Qin. Besides you, I’ve investigated Xiao Feiwu, Jin Baiyan, and Jin Mo.”

    Xu Jiahao’s heart beat wildly, it seemed like the visitor was ill-intentioned.

    “You said on the phone that Jin Mo was in danger, that’s why I came, so I don’t want to hear anything else, I just want to hear, how is Jin Mo in danger?”

    Mr. Qin smiled.

    “Do you know why I chose you?”

    Xu Jiahao raised his eyebrows, noncommittal.

    “Because you’re smart! And you’ve been following Jin Mo for two years, he treats you as a friend, and you treat him as a friend.”

    “Yes, we’re friends, so what exactly do you want to say?” Xu Jiahao leaned back, relaxing himself, and focusing all his attention on the person in front of him.

    Mr. Qin also leaned back, and after a long while, he spoke.

    “I’ve investigated Jin Mo, he was taken out of Hongxing Orphanage by Jin Baiyan when he was three years old. In theory, he couldn’t possibly be the child that Jin Baiyan met when he was young, but someone told me that he is that child, so I want to confirm with you, is he really that child?”

    The corner of Xu Jiahao’s eye twitched, his thoughts churning.

    The person in front of him actually mentioned the first time Bai Xian and Jin Mo met, who would care about that!

    Besides Jin Mo’s family, he couldn’t think of anyone else!

    He raised his eyes and glanced at Mr. Qin, no wonder the person in front of him looked a little familiar, he indeed had a resemblance to Jin Mo.

    A storm was brewing in Xu Jiahao’s heart.

    He guessed that the person in front of him was probably related to Jin Mo’s background, but Bai Xian and Jin Mo had just gotten together, they couldn’t handle any more turmoil.

    The person in front of him didn’t look like an ordinary person, if he really was Jin Mo’s father, then he probably wouldn’t agree to Jin Mo being with Bai Xian.

    What should he do?

    He couldn’t tell! But he could only block this for a while, not forever.

    He calmed himself and showed a smile.

    “I met Jin Mo when he was already so old, how would I know about his childhood? You’ve asked the wrong person!”

    Mr. Qin’s lips curled into a smile.

    “Even the little girl at Li Ji’s Farmhouse knows about it, how could you not know?”

    Xu Jiahao’s heart immediately jumped again.

    How did Li Mengyao know?

    Wasn’t this something that only Jin Mother, Xiao Feiwu, Jin Mo, Jin Baiyan, and himself, a total of five people, knew?

    The four of them would never leak it, the only possibility was Jin Mother.

    Could it be that day, Jin Mother met someone after going out? That’s right, Jin Mother was originally from this place, and was so close to Uncle Li’s house, they must have known each other since childhood, it was possible that they met and chatted.

    Xu Jiahao quickly sorted out the situation.

    He smirked and replied casually, “Oh, she knows? Then why are you asking me? Go ask her!”

    Mr. Qin stared at him through his glasses for a long time.

    Xu Jiahao felt a lot of pressure, his palms were sweating, but his expression remained unchanged.

    He had been in society for so many years, how could he not have a little composure! Otherwise, how could he follow and secretly film people!

    Mr. Qin smiled, “It seems like you can’t be bought with money either, right!”

    Xu Jiahao crooked his lips, “Heh, not necessarily, it depends on how much you’re offering!”

    He said that, but his eyes conveyed a different meaning.

    Mr. Qin lowered his head slightly, and after a long while, he turned around, took out a somewhat old piece of paper from the bottom of a stack of papers behind him, turned around, and handed it to Xu Jiahao.

    Xu Jiahao had a hint of surprise in his eyes as he took the paper.

    It was a physical examination report!

    The date was twenty-two years ago!

    The person being examined was an infant, named Qin Momo!

    From the eyes of the infant in the photo, one could tell that it was Jin Mo as a child.

    Xu Jiahao’s heart trembled, he quickly browsed through it, the more he read, the more serious his expression became.

    A few minutes later, he handed the report in his hand back to Mr. Qin.

    “What do you need me to do?”

    Mr. Qin smiled, “It seems like I didn’t choose the wrong person!”
