After ONS: Trapped by the Cunning Professor

Chapter 704 - 685: Won’t His Conscience Hurt?

"Not sure if it’s him." Qin Mobai spoke, leaning slightly on the sofa as if it made him more comfortable, "But besides him, I can’t think of anyone else."

Business rivals wouldn’t kill him over money. Murder would be severely punished, life imprisonment, or the death penalty...

Business people don’t have the intention to kill him, but Xi Siwei does.

It’s not just about money; it’s about dignity and status.

For years, Qin Mobai has overshadowed Xi Siwei, which is a fatal blow for a man.

If Qin Mobai, the thorn in Xi Siwei’s side, is removed, there would be no threat to Xi Siwei. He would become the heir of the Qin Family, the chairman of the Qin Family.

There would be a group of people flocking around, eager to curry favor with him!

With such a temptation, wouldn’t Xi Siwei be moved?

And then, there’s Lou Xi.

If Qin Mobai dies, Xi Siwei would press and lure Lou Xi, and the naive Lou Xi would surely fall for it.

By then, Xi Siwei would have the beauty and the throne, with no guilt about killing Qin Mobai.

Would his conscience not ache?

No.

Xi Siwei has no conscience.

"If it really was Xi Siwei, he’s gone too far! You’re cousins!" Qin Ruiqian was furious. Such a thing happening in the Qin Family would be a laughing stock if it got out.

The Qin Family wouldn’t be destroyed by outsiders, but would crumble due to internal power struggles!

If the old man knew, he’d be angered to death!

"Dad, don’t get worked up, we don’t have any evidence yet. This may not necessarily be done by Xi Siwei." Qin Mobai spoke, his voice low and a bit tired.

Of course, Qin Ruiqian was angry. Someone was trying to kill his son, how could he not be angry?

But amidst his anger, Qin Ruiqian suddenly realized Qin Mobai just called him "Dad."

Considering the years of a strained father-son relationship between Qin Mobai and Qin Ruiqian, the times Qin Mobai called Qin Ruiqian "Dad" could be counted on one hand.

Thinking of this, Qin Ruiqian nearly shed tears, feeling the father-son bond restored through this incident.

Not knowing whether to feel lucky or sad.

"Mobai, I haven’t heard you call me that for a long time." Qin Ruiqian’s excitement suddenly cooled down, feeling deeply moved.

Both Qin Mobai and Lou Xi were stunned, but Qin Mobai’s feelings were probably deeper than Lou Xi’s.

He must have subconsciously called Qin Ruiqian "Dad," whether out of genuine feelings or just speaking too quickly.

Now that Qin Ruiqian pointed it out, Qin Mobai obviously didn’t want to continue this topic, embarrassed to openly discuss it.

The atmosphere subtly changed, making Qin Mobai somewhat awkward, and Qin Ruiqian didn’t know what to say.

"Mobai, why don’t you go upstairs and rest for a bit? Tonight you still need to keep vigil for grandma..."

"I’ll handle the vigil; you can’t stay up all night with your injury." Qin Ruiqian immediately took on the task.

Qin Mobai nodded, finally saying to Qin Ruiqian, "I’m only suspecting Xi Siwei for the shooting incident; there’s no concrete evidence, so don’t alert him."

"I understand, do you really think I’m confused?"

"If you weren’t confused, you wouldn’t still have kept Lou Nan in the Qin Family." Qin Mobai finished, rising from the sofa and went upstairs with Lou Xi.
