Qiao Keai raised her hand to wipe away her tears, raised a pair of clear eyes, and said in a deep voice, "I will investigate this matter."

Qin Xiao frowned, feeling more irritable.

Although he turned the tide, brought the crumbling X Group back on track and stabilized its position.

However, the affairs of the Lu family are still unclear, and the life and death of the old lady is still uncertain. What's more, the cause of the fire that killed her parents has not been determined yet, and there is no news about Qin Feng's search.

All these things were extremely difficult, which made him very tired.

As for Qiao Keyai, even if he believed her and didn't pursue her for the time being, people from the Zhou family would come to him sooner or later to ask him for the truth.

At that point, he didn't know if he could still protect her.

He returned to the old lady's bed in a state of dejection, and held the old lady's somewhat cold hand, feeling infinitely desolate in his heart.

Over the years, he has long been used to the presence of the old lady. Even if she does nothing, as long as he knows that she is standing behind him, he will feel at ease.

But if the old lady can't survive this time, he will have no way out in the future.

Seeing that he was silent and his back was bleak, Qiao Keai felt indescribably distressed.

How much she wanted to go forward and hug him, but she didn't dare.

The bruises on her neck reminded her that he really would kill her.

How could it be like this between her and Qin Xiao?
She felt a strong sense of powerlessness in her heart.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally decided to leave and investigate the safflower in the old lady's diet first.

Before she walked out of the door, Qin Xiao's indifferent voice came from behind: "Leave the old house now, I will investigate the matter of the old lady's coma, and you are not allowed to intervene."

Qiao Keai paused her steps, her body froze, she turned around slowly, looked at Qin Xiao's heartless back, and asked in puzzlement, "Why?"

If she doesn't intervene, how can she investigate the truth of the matter?
"No reason!" Qin Xiao said coldly, "Leave right away before I change my mind!"

Qiao Keai was irritated by Qin Xiao's attitude, she couldn't help but walked up to him, and said angrily: "I won't leave until this matter is clarified!"

Qin Xiao hurriedly turned around and met her stubborn eyes, feeling more and more disturbed in his heart.

He stared at her fiercely, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't make me say it a second time!"

Qiao Keai couldn't help but flinch a little, but still argued in a low voice: "Qin Xiao, I can't leave. If I leave now, it's tantamount to acquiescing that the old lady's coma has something to do with me..."

Besides, the old lady is not out of danger yet, how could she leave!

Qin Xiao's gloomy expression subsided slightly, and his tone softened a little: "I will investigate this matter."

"But the old lady..." Qiao Keai looked worriedly at the unconscious old lady on the bed, but still wanted to stay.

Qin Xiao interrupted her abruptly, and said in a cold tone: "The old lady has me by her side, so no one can harm her again!"

As he said, he didn't wait for Qiao Keai to agree, he grabbed her hand and forcefully dragged her out of the room.

Seeing the two people coming out, Lin Ao hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Sir."

He stared at Qiao Keai's bruised neck, and couldn't help but shrink his pupils slightly, his eyes were full of shock.

Qin Xiao threw Qiao Keyai in front of him, and said in a deep voice, "Send her back to the manor!"

Before Lin Ao had time to agree, he saw Butler Qin hurried over and said anxiously, "Sir, it's not good, the Zhou family is here."

Qin Xiao's face sank, and his face became more and more ugly.

They came faster than expected.

Qiao Keai looked at Butler Qin in puzzlement, wondering who the Zhou family he was talking about was?Why did Qin Xiao look so solemn when he heard the words "Zhou's family".

But soon she heard a noise coming from far and near.

Qin Xiao immediately ordered Lin Ao: "Take her through the corner gate!"

Lin Ao understood, and said to Qiao Keyai: "Miss Qiao, please follow me!"

Qiao Keyai became more and more confused, not knowing what Qin Xiao was going to do.

Seeing that she refused to leave, Lin Ao couldn't help frowning, grabbed her wrist without any explanation, and forcibly pulled her away.

Seeing Qiao Keai leave, Qin Xiao asked Qin Guanjia in a deep voice, "What's the specific situation?"

Qin Butler looked solemn, and explained: "The Zhou family headed by Zhou Wenchang, I don't know where they heard the news, but they said that Ms. Qiao poisoned the old lady, and they all came to you to ask for an explanation."

Qin Xiao's complexion didn't change a lot when he heard this, it seemed that he had expected these things long ago.

He said to Butler Qin in a deep voice: "Mr. Qin, I will leave grandma to you. You must stay by her bedside and not leave for a second!"

Butler Qin nodded solemnly: "Don't worry, Mr. Xiao!"

As soon as Qin Xiao left the old lady's residence, he found Lin Ao hurried back.

A gloomy look flashed across his face, and he said coldly, "What's wrong?"

Lin Ao originally wanted to personally send Qiao Keyai back to the manor, but when he heard that Zhou Wenchang and others were approaching menacingly, he was worried, so he entrusted Qiao Keyai to Lao Zhang.

He said in a deep voice: "Don't worry, sir, Miss Qiao, I have sent Lao Zhang back to the manor."

Qin Xiao nodded, his expression much calmer.

As long as Qiao Keyai leaves the old house, Zhou Wenchang and others can't do anything to her even if they make trouble.

Zhou Wenchang is a member of the old lady's natal family, so he still needs to be called uncle.

Although the great-grandfather promised to return the Zhou family's ancestral property to the Zhou family in the future, after the old lady took over the Qin family, in order to facilitate the management of the ancestral property of the Qin and Zhou families, the Zhou family's ancestral property was completely merged into the Qin family.

This aroused the dissatisfaction of Zhou's family, especially Zhou Wenchang's line of thought.

But frightened by the power of the old lady, he has been daring to speak out all these years.

Now that the old lady is sick, Zhou Wenchang has long been ready to move, especially during the period when Qin Xiao was in a coma before returning, Zhou Wenchang often made small moves underneath.

After Qin Xiao came back, he used some thunderous means to severely suppress his arrogance, and he finally stopped.

Now that the life and death of the old lady is uncertain, he immediately ran out like a clown to make trouble again, which really made him tired.

If it weren't for the fact that he was from the old lady's family, he would have given him no way out!
He told Lin Ao: "Lead Zhou Wenchang to the front hall, and don't disturb the old lady's cleanliness."

"Yes." Lin Ao replied, and rushed to the noise first.

Qin Xiao glanced back in the direction of the old lady, a ruthless look flashed in his eyes, then turned and went to his residence.

By the time he appeared in front of Zhou Wenchang and the others, he was completely new.

He shaved his beard clean, combed his hair, and changed into clean clothes, without any trace of decadence.

When Zhou Wenchang and the others saw him coming in, they subconsciously stood up from their chairs, with a tentative look on their faces filled with fear.

Qin Xiao strolled to his seat and sat down calmly.

He gently placed a bony hand on the tureen of the tea table, pointed his slender fingers unintentionally, and then raised a pair of cold eyes.

With a somewhat chilly gaze, he quickly glanced at the few people sitting down, and he already knew it in his heart.
