She had spent a lot of effort deciphering the Morse code and barged into the Ji family. She thought that she would be able to find out the truth, but she did not expect to be stuck at the last step.

Qiao Nian was frustrated. She was a little disgusted as she casually pushed the box aside.

“You have no clue?” Ye w.a.n.gchuan picked up the USB flash drive from the box and checked it over and over again. Then, he threw it back into the box, put the box back, and raised his eyebrows at the girl. “Why don’t you think about whether Auntie left any clues for you…”

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Nian looked up at him with lowered eyelashes. “She died not long after I was born. What clues do you think I have?”

Ye w.a.n.gchuan pressed his fingers between his eyebrows. Realizing that he had said something wrong, his handsome face revealed an apologetic expression.

“I’m sorry, I didn’t mean that.”

“I know you don’t mean that.” Qiao Nian waved her hand and her expression softened. “I’m the one who should apologize. I shouldn’t have taken my anger out on you.”

She was indeed overwrought by being stopped at the last step and was not in a good mood.

Quickly adjusting her mentality, Qiao Nian looked at Gu San and said, “At least I’ve found the USB drive now. There must be something very important hidden in it. Otherwise, my mother wouldn’t have set up such a complicated Morse code to hide it. Also, the ‘key’ to this box is something that ordinary people wouldn’t expect… Now that the box is in my hands, I have time to slowly find clues…”

Gu San smiled. “That’s right, Miss Qiao. At least we’ve found the box now. It’s much better than not having any clues! Isn’t it just a pa.s.sword? I believe you can definitely solve it.”

“Mm,” Qiao Nian replied.

Her tightly knitted brows relaxed slightly as she stopped dwelling on this matter. Then, she turned to look at the man standing by the bed. “Guan Yan, she…’

“Don’t worry, I’m not making things difficult for her.” Ye w.a.n.gchuan sneered. There was a rare trace of impatience in his eyes as he lowered his voice. “Is your boyfriend so petty in your eyes?”

Qiao Nian covered her mouth and coughed. “That’s not what I meant.”

Ye w.a.n.gchuan glanced at the girl from the corner of his eye. Since she was a patient, he could not bear to bicker with her. Turning around and pouring water for Qiao Nian, he said, “She left after giving me your laptop. Qin Si sent her off.”

Qiao Nian retracted her gaze. The man continued, “The independent continent hasn’t been peaceful the past few days since you were hospitalized. All the major factions are investigating this matter. A portion of the Ji family is also thinking of ways to inquire about the situation here. Those smarter should have guessed it’s you. However, what’s surprising is… Ji Lingfeng.” Qiao Nian looked at him again and nodded. “What?”

Ye w.a.n.gchuan observed her expression and saw that she was no longer harping on the pa.s.sword. He then unhurriedly said, “Ji Lingfeng didn’t investigate you this time.”

Qiao Nian was slightly stunned. She clearly did not expect Ji Lingfeng to let her off.

Ye w.a.n.gchuan continued, “All the major factions outside are investigating you, and also some people in the Ji family. However, Ji Lingfeng is not one of them. I think he already knew that the person who barged into the Ji family that day was you!”

Qiao Nian was also thinking about this. “When I escaped the Ji family that day, I did hear a voice telling the people chasing after me to stop..”
