After the betrothal gift negotiation collapsed, I turned around and married a wealthy man.

As soon as Qin Yi and Qin Ce finished their conversation, Grandpa Qin pushed open the door of the ward and walked in.

When he saw the two brothers, he asked, "Why are there only two of you here? Where is Xingxing?"

Qin Ce said, "Didn't she come to see you?"

Grandpa Qin was confused. "When did she come to see me? I just came from my own ward and didn't see her at all."

Qin Ce frowned and immediately took out his cell phone to call Qiao Xing.

"Sorry, the number you dialed is powered off..."

Qin Ce's expression suddenly became gloomy.

Qin Yi also heard the voice on the phone, and he quickly comforted Qin Ce, "Maybe the phone is out of battery, I'll go out and look for it."

As soon as he finished speaking, he stood up and went out.

Grandpa Qin asked, "Are you sure she really came to see me just now? Did she not come over because of something urgent?"

Qin Ce's ward and Grandpa Qin's ward are just a few steps away.

If Qiao Xing hadn't gone to look for Grandpa Qin, he should have been back by now.

Qin Ce's intuition told him that things were not that simple.

Qin Yi searched for a long time in the hospital and also went to the park and flower beds outside, but still couldn't find Qiao Xing.

He even asked all the nurses at the nurses' station and several passers-by, but they all said they had never seen Qiao Xing.

Qin Yi hurried back to the ward and said to Qin Ce, "I looked everywhere but still couldn't find my sister-in-law. Do you think she has gone home?"

Qin Ce said, "If you really go home, there is no need to turn off your phone."

Grandpa Qin asked, "Did you make Xingxing unhappy and make her angry and leave, so your phone is turned off?"

Qin Ce said helplessly, "Grandpa, why would I make her unhappy for no reason?"

Grandpa Qin was also anxious, "Where can this good person go?"

"Xing Jiu."

Qin Ce called Xing Jiu in.

"Go check the hospital's surveillance to see where Qiao Xing went."

"Okay, Mr. Qin."

Qin Ce turned to Qin Yi and said, "You continue to look around the hospital..."

He paused and simply got out of bed, "Forget it, I'll go by myself."

As a pregnant woman, Qiao Xing had difficulty walking. If she had only gone to places around the hospital, she would definitely not have walked too far.

But if she was taken away by someone, then it’s hard to say.

Qin Yi quickly stopped Qin Ce and said, "Brother, you are too anxious. If my sister-in-law was really taken away by someone, you won't be able to find her even if you turn the hospital upside down. You should check the surveillance first."

Grandpa Qin also said, "Xiaoyi is right. Don't worry. If Xingxing really left the hospital, the surveillance camera would have captured it. Then we can directly ask the police to look for her."

Qin Ce sat down beside the bed and let out a silent breath.

He was indeed a little anxious.

Xing Jiu was very quick and came to report to Qin Ce in less than five minutes.

"Boss Qin, I checked the hospital's surveillance and saw that after Madam came out of the ward, she spoke to a strange man and then followed that man away."

"Who is it and where did they go?"

"That person was wearing black clothes and a hat, and he seemed to be deliberately avoiding the camera. His face was not clear at all. The corridor that my wife and him walked in led to the back door of the hospital, which was also a blind spot for surveillance, so we couldn't see anything."

Grandpa Qin asked Xingjiu, "You said Xingxing followed that person?"

"Yes, the two of them stood there for less than two minutes before the lady followed him."

Grandpa Qin said, "That means Xingxing knew that person. She was not kidnapped, she was deceived."

Qin Yi asked Qin Ce, "Brother, do you know who my sister-in-law's friends are?"

Ever since Xing Jiu said that Qiao Xing took the initiative to follow that man, a person's name had already appeared in Qin Ce's mind.

He was silent for a moment, then said to Xing Jiu, "Go check Shen Boyan and everything about his family, including who he met and what he did during this period. You must find out everything in detail."

"Ok."

As soon as Xingjiu left, Grandpa Qin asked, "Who is this Shen Boyan? Is he friends with Xingxing?"

"He's Qiao Xing's colleague."

Qin Yi asked in confusion, "If he is a colleague, why did he take my sister-in-law away quietly and turn off his phone? What did he want? Did he want money or something?"

Qin Ce's eyes darkened slightly.

Based on his understanding of Shen Boyan, whether it is for money or life, it is not something he would do.

As to why Qiao Xing was taken away, we can only find out after we find him.

At this time in the Qin family, the sound of things being thrown could be heard constantly from Wang Yu's bedroom.

The servants in the house stood at the door, listening to the noise inside and no one dared to go in.

Wang Yu stayed in the room for two days, and the sound never stopped.

Just then, Qin Liang, who heard the sound, came out of the study.

Seeing two or three servants standing at the door of Wang Yu's bedroom, "What are you all doing here?"

The servant said tremblingly, "Madam hasn't eaten for a day. We wanted to send her something in, but..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the sound of something breaking was heard in the room again.

Qin Liang was waved by the servants, "Everyone go down."

He opened the bedroom door and walked in.

The room was in a mess. Not a single intact item could be seen. Even the murals on the wall were shattered into pieces by Wang Yu's fragments.

Wang Yu was sitting on the edge of the bed with disheveled hair. When she saw Qin Liang coming in, she slowly raised her head and looked at Qin Liang with red eyes.

"Are you here to divorce me?"

Qin Liang remained silent.

Wang Yu was so angry that she threw a vase not far from her onto the ground.

Qin Liang's eyes were extremely complicated. "Why did you become like this?"

Wang Yu smiled miserably, "Why? Do you really want to hear it?"

Qin Liang looked at her quietly, waiting for her answer.

"Why do you think I did this? Qin Liang, I became like this because of you!"

There was a hint of confusion in Qin Liang's eyes as he looked at her.

He asked himself: in the past few years, whether it was towards Wang Yu, Qin Ji or Qin Fei, he had not done anything to let them down.

He knew that it was not easy for Wang Yu to make up her mind to be with him.

He also knew that she had endured a lot of people's contempt and criticism for being with him.

Therefore, Qin Liang always felt guilty towards Wang Yu.

Otherwise, how could he, a man who cares so much about his reputation, insist on marrying Wang Yu into the Qin family despite so many people's criticisms?

Qin Liang asked in confusion, "Did I do something wrong to disappoint you?"
