Chapter 486 Jiang Ansheng's Suspicion
Time moved to the next day.
Jiang Ruan and Jiang An took Grandpa Qin for a check-up. Although Qin Mo had given prior notice, the various examinations still took more than two hours.
No.
I just finished all the consultation results in the doctor's office.
"Has Mr. Qin been feeling depressed and experiencing significant mood swings lately?" the doctor asked Jiang Ruan and the others after reviewing all the results.
Jiang Ruan subconsciously looked at Old Master Qin.
She works at the company for a long time and doesn't know much about her grandfather's situation. Her grandfather doesn't want his mother to worry, and it's unlikely that he would show it in front of her.
Jiang An also looked at him.
Old Master Qin: "..."
Old Master Qin coughed lightly: "There is a little."
"You should try to keep a positive mood and avoid getting stressed," the doctor advised gently. "Otherwise, you may faint due to sudden changes in blood pressure and heart rate."
Grandpa Qin immediately chimed in, "Good, good, good."
Jiang An asked, "Can even a little bit of stimulation cause fainting?"
“Normally, no, but ever since Mr. Qin was hospitalized for a serious illness many years ago, his heart has been…” The doctor didn’t hide it.
"It's not as serious as he makes it out to be," Old Master Qin interrupted promptly, not wanting Jiang An to pursue the matter further. "You don't need to worry."
"If it's not serious, why are you so guilty?" Jiang An bluntly exposed him.
Old Master Qin opened his mouth, wanting to refute but not daring to.
Jiang Ruan, who was standing to the side, paused for a moment after hearing these words.
She's been so busy lately that she's completely forgotten what her grandfather told her before.
Grandpa's health.
It was caused by his two uncles.
"Ruan Ruan?" Jiang An's voice brought her back to reality.
Jiang Ruan snapped out of her daze and realized that the doctor had already finished explaining the precautions. Seeing that she didn't seem quite focused, Jiang An asked with concern, "What's wrong?"
Jiang Ruan looked at Old Master Qin.
The latter shook his head slightly at her.
Jiang An, who was good at observing details, saw the two's movements clearly. Just as she was about to say something, a figure suddenly appeared outside the door and hurriedly walked towards them. Upon closer inspection, she realized it was Qin Muchuan.
"Dad," he called out, his gaze sweeping over the old man several times to make sure it wasn't an external injury before turning to Jiang An and asking, "Dad, what's wrong? Are you sick or injured?"
“It’s an old problem,” Jiang An said.
Qin Muchuan: "What did the doctor say?"
Jiang An: "It's nothing serious, just need to rest and recover."
Qin Muchuan: "That's good."
Jiang An: "But I have a question."
"What?" Qin Muchuan always acted exceptionally humble in public, as if he were a truly filial son and a good older brother.
"The doctor said he was hospitalized many years ago with a serious illness, but we don't know what illness he had." Jiang An said this while looking at him with a scrutinizing gaze.
Qin Muchuan's heart tightened.
There was a hint of emotion in his eyes and brows.
“If I remember correctly, he was in perfect health before I left Haicheng,” Jiang An said directly. “There’s no reason for him to suddenly fall seriously ill.”
"What do you mean by that?" Qin Muchuan asked, his tone displeased.
"Just asking," Jiang An said calmly.
A series of emotions welled up in Qin Muchuan's heart.
He didn't believe it was just a question.
Just then.
Old Master Qin spoke, looking at him with a stern face and obvious dislike: "What are you doing here?"
"What are you saying? Of course I came to see you." Qin Muchuan was displeased, but he maintained his composure on the surface. "I was shocked to hear that you were in the hospital."
Old Master Qin glanced at him and said coldly, "I don't need you to look."
Qin Muchuan's expression froze.
"Ruan girl, let's go home." Old Master Qin looked at Jiang Ruan and Jiang An.
Jiang Ruan: "Okay."
"You guys go back first, I have something to do," Jiang An said naturally.
Jiang Ruan nodded and then took Old Master Qin home.
She roughly knew what her mother meant by "something."
Qin Muchuan's words and the doctor's remarks in the office aroused the mother's suspicions; she suspected that there was something wrong with her grandfather's previous serious illness.
I got on the bus.
Jiang Ruan and Grandpa Qin sat in the back.
After watching the old man close his eyes to rest, Jiang Ruan considered it for a while and then took out her phone to send a message to Jiang An: "Mom, are you trying to find out about Grandpa?"
Jiang An: "?"
Jiang An was a little surprised.
She hadn't expected Jiang Ruan to guess: "Why do you say that?"
Jiang Ruan: [You can go to Si Ning; she knows something.]
I had asked Si Ning to help investigate before, and just when I was starting to get a lead, Huo Zhizhou had an accident. Later, my grandfather noticed and told me not to continue investigating, so the matter was dropped.
Jiang An was even more surprised.
Jiang Ruan didn't hide anything and told her everything that had happened before.
When Jiang An saw the sentence "Grandpa guessed it was his two uncles who did it," his brow furrowed.
A moment later.
She replied with three words: 【Understood.】
Jiang Ruan turned off her phone screen after reading the message.
The car remained quiet for the rest of the journey. With Grandpa Qin around, Mo Mo and Tang Bai, who were usually very talkative, became taciturn. Qin Muchuan, who was following behind them, was in a state of mental breakdown.
The thought of Jiang An's arrogant questioning filled him with unease.
After careful consideration.
Qin Muchuan took out his phone and made a call: "Qin An may have become suspicious of what happened to the old man back then. If she investigates, remember to tell your subordinates to keep their mouths shut."
The other end quickly replied: "Understood."
Qin Muchuan hung up the phone.
His gaze pierced through the windshield and landed on Jiang Ruan's car. His eyes were filled with gloom, and for a moment, he wanted the driver to accelerate and crash into it.
If they were to collide with Jiang Ruan, she would definitely be injured and hospitalized. The old man would also faint from shock, and in more serious cases, he might die from excessive fright.
By then...
Because he did not leave a will, his inheritance will be divided according to law between him and Qin Muchi, while Qin An, who was kicked out of the Qin family, will not get a penny!
As for ginger soft...
If the hospital staff were to tamper with things a little, it wouldn't be impossible to make her die accidentally.
Thinking about all this, he felt more and more that this was feasible.
The only concern is that he doesn't know whether the old man made a will or not, and if so, how the property was divided.
Amidst a mix of emotions, Jiang Ruan and the others arrived home.
After getting off the bus, she helped Grandpa Qin back to his room to rest. After a busy morning, the old man was a little tired and wanted to sleep for a while.
"Ruan girl." Just as Jiang Ruan was about to leave the room, Grandpa Qin called out to her.
Jiang Ruan: "Hmm?"
Old Master Qin glanced outside, worried that Qin Muchuan was eavesdropping.
Jiang Ruan saw through his thoughts at a glance and took the initiative to say, "Mo Mo and Tang Bai are outside, so you can just say what you want to say."
"Grandpa has a favor to ask." Old Master Qin's expression was complicated, and he hesitated to speak.
Jiang Ruan replied politely, "Please go ahead."
Grandpa Qin moved his lips, and after a long while he said, "If An'an asks about my serious illness, can you pretend you don't know?"
Judging from the conversation between An'an and Qin Muchuan at the hospital, An'an was clearly suspicious.
Given her personality, she will most likely investigate.
So many years have passed, he doesn't want to investigate anymore, nor does he want An'an to worry about her unworthy father.
