Chapter 1604 Kang Qingzhi Is Just Bait



Nine in the evening.

Gu Zheng pushed open Qiao Xi's door. There was only a table lamp switched on in the bedroom. Qiao Xi was sleeping on the table that had a few sheets of paper on it.

The man's eyes instantly became gentle. He bent down slightly and wanted to pick her up, but he saw the contents of the paper. It was a complicated map of the wealthy families in the capital.

Some noble families had stood tall in the capital for hundreds of years and always had some grudges and conflicts with one another. The situation in the capital changed 20 years ago, and the powerful Situ family suddenly declined. When the old master of the Situ family appeared in Li City, it made him confirm that the Situ family was related to Xi Xi. Moreover, this connection was probably related to Xia Yunqiu.

A few years ago, the Yin family also lived in the capital, but for some reason, they left the capital and went to Shengdu. Why did they choose to leave the capital's circle? Moreover, why were many noble families in the capital a little resistant to the name Xia Yunqiu?

Gu Zheng's long fingers landed on the paper and lightly tapped on the word 'Situ'.

"Gu Zheng?" Qiao Xi suddenly spoke. She opened her sleepy eyes and looked at the man in front of her in confusion.

He retracted his hand subtly and pretended not to see the paper. He picked her up from the chair and said softly, "Sleep on the bed."

Qiao Xi's voice was soft. "Mhm. What's going on with the Kang family?"

"Kang Ru and Old Madam Kang went to the police station. It looks like Kang Jichuan and Kang Qingzhi will be released soon."

Qiao Xi smiled. "That's exactly what I wanted. If we keep them locked up, who'll care about the 4.8 billion yuan the Kang family owes?

"That's right. Has the person behind Kang Qingzhi appeared?" Qiao Xi fell into her memories. "When I was hypnotized five years ago, Kang Qingzhi was just a teenage girl. Even if she had the intention to set up a trap, she didn't have that ability. Moreover, Kang Jichuan is a pampered young master of a noble family. How could he know how to hypnotize? Someone must be controlling him."

The person controlling Kang Jichuan must be Kang Qingzhi, but there must be someone behind Kang Qingzhi who came up with a plan to help her.

Kang Jichuan thought that Kang Qingzhi did not know what he had done, but in reality, Kang Qingzhi was the one who facilitated the plan. Where did a teenage girl get those hypnotic drugs and learn how to use them?

Qiao Xi already had a guess in her heart. It was probably the Brook family or some other wealthy families in the capital. Next, she would use Kang Qingzhi as bait to lure out the big fish behind the scenes.

…

In the Yin family.

"The Kang family wants to announce to the public that Xi Xi is the daughter of Kang Ru and Yunqiu. How can Xi Xi be from the Kang family?" Yin Jingting handed a document to Old Madam Yin.

Old Madam Yin sneered. "How laughable! Is the Kang family worthy?"

Yin Jingting pointed at the person in the document. "Grandma, this person's name is Kang Jichuan. He claims to be Aunt Yunqiu's biological son and Xi Xi's brother."

Old Madam Yin's eyes darkened. This person was indeed very similar to Yunqiu, but…

"He's not Yunqiu's son," Old Madam Yin said firmly.

Yin Jingting was puzzled. "But he's very similar to Aunt."

"Get your father to come over." Old Madam Yin's face was serious. "There are many similar people in this world. I'm sure Kang Jichuan isn't Yunqiu's son!"

A few minutes later, Yin Yunyi walked in steadily. "Mother."

Old Madam Yin nodded, and her gaze landed on him for a long time. She sighed helplessly. "Yunyi, she… is still unwilling to let your sister off."

Yin Yunyi looked up abruptly. "Are you talking about that person from the Xia family?"

The Xia family in the capital!

"Yes." A trace of resentment flashed past Old Madam Yin's eyes. "She wanted to harm others 20 years ago. Even though Yunqiu is no longer alive, she's still unwilling to let her off. She even manipulated the Kang family to deal with Xi Xi."

Yin Yunyi frowned. "Mother, who else knows Yunqiu's identity?"

"There's probably only the Xia family in the capital left." Old Madam Yin snorted. "That woman from the Xia family used Kang Qingzhi to scheme against Xi Xi. It's impossible for her to tell her Yunqiu's true identity.

"Everyone knows that Yunqiu is my and Xia Cheng's biological daughter. No one knows about her relationship with the Xia family in the capital. It's been so many years, so why…"

"Mother." Yin Yunyi frowned. "So Kang Jichuan is that woman's child?"

That woman from the Xia family had been scheming all her life. Even though Yunqiu died, she hoped that Yunqiu would only be known as Kang Ru's lover and be looked down on forever.

Old Madam Yin gritted her teeth. "Kang Jichuan can't be Yunqiu's child, but he's so similar to Yunqiu. He must be that woman's child!"
