Qin Moxi watched Lou Xi get into that car, saw the face inside the car door that bore a striking resemblance to Qin Mobai, and watched as that black business vehicle drove away!

She wanted to chase after it, but after just two steps, someone grabbed her from behind, holding her around the waist.

Turning around, Qin Moxi saw it was Fu Sinian holding her.

"He—the one in the car just now—"

"Shh—" Fu Sinian placed his index finger on Qin Moxi’s lips, signaling for her to stop talking.

"But—" Qin Moxi was utterly unsettled now; the person in the car must be Qin Mobai, which means her brother isn’t dead!

Then why conceal it from everyone? Whose ashes did Lou Xi bring back?

All these questions flooded Qin Moxi’s mind. She looked at Fu Sinian, bewildered, with an indescribable feeling in her heart.

"Let’s talk about it when we get back, okay?" Fu Sinian shook his head at Qin Moxi. If anyone heard that Qin Mobai was alive, the news would spread throughout the entire Capital by morning, and the people over in Nancheng would certainly know too!

Qin Moxi knew that Fu Sinian was definitely hiding something from her. She sensed it from the moment he went to the hotel to find Lou Xi earlier.

Now it turns out there’s such a big secret being kept!

"When we get back, you must give me an explanation!" Qin Moxi said with a stern face, looking very serious.

This girl, who usually has a cheerful demeanor, can be really difficult to handle when she gets serious.

Fu Sinian rubbed his temples and nodded.

Since he already got Lou Xi out, the police on this side had all withdrawn, so Fu Sinian drove back with Qin Moxi.

On the way back, Qin Moxi sat in the passenger seat, glaring at the man driving with a sharp look.

"Fu Sinian, confess, and you’ll get leniency; resist, and you’ll face severity." She couldn’t wait any longer. "Tell me, is my brother still alive?" 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝔀𝓮𝒃𝙣𝓸𝒗𝒆𝒍.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Fu Sinian focused on driving, both hands on the wheel, eyes straight ahead.

"Driving." This answer meant that anything needed to be discussed after they returned.

"Is it so difficult to give me an answer? Or do you think I’d make this public? Do you think I’d harm my brother?" Qin Moxi was now certain that Qin Mobai was alive, but there must be a deeper reason why Fu Sinian and the others were hiding it.

"That’s not what I meant; you’re overthinking it."

"Then what’s the meaning?"

"You’re still young. Our intention was not to involve you," Fu Sinian said in a low voice.

"In your eyes, I’m still a child? But I’m already an adult; I just celebrated my eighteenth birthday recently! I’m an adult too!"

"This has nothing to do with age. This matter is far-reaching, and I’m afraid you’ll be in danger."

This statement from Fu Sinian successfully calmed Qin Moxi’s heart. It was because they feared for her safety that they didn’t tell her.

She sat back in the passenger seat, clutching her seatbelt with both hands, "I really thought my brother was dead, you have no idea how heartbroken I’ve been during this time."

As she spoke, Qin Moxi’s eyes turned slightly red. Having vented her anger on Fu Sinian, the thought that Qin Mobai was still alive now filled her heart with more joy than anger.

Fu Sinian pulled the car over to the roadside, unbuckled his seatbelt, took out a handkerchief, and wiped Qin Moxi’s tears.
