Chapter 287: Chapter 287: Separation in Life and Death

Yin Hehe did not answer this question.

She also hoped that her guess was incorrect, but over the years, whenever she doubted something, nine times out of ten, there was something wrong.

They landed in Chongzhou.

"Xiaoyin, where do we go now?"

After getting off the plane, Doctor Qin immediately asked her while looking at the pitch-black night outside.

Yin Hehe paused and then asked with pursed lips, "Doctor Qin, I heard that Xiahou Xiu died ten days ago right here in Chongzhou. Do you know where it happened?"

"What?"

As soon as these words were spoken, the expression of the doctor beside her changed drastically.

She had thought that this young girl had asked her to come merely to accompany her, but she had not expected her real intention to be this.

"Xiaoyin, how did you know about this? Who’s been talking too much?"

"No one." Yin Hehe turned her head to look at the doctor.

"Doctor Qin, do you know what Xiahou Xiu said to me when he went mad in the blood-drawing room?"

Her small face, no bigger than a palm, was so pale it was almost frightening.

Doctor Qin was startled and asked, "Said what?"

Yin Hehe, "He said his dad was going to kill my husband!"

"..."

A chill seemed to be drawn from Doctor Qin’s throat; she widened her eyes at the woman and was unable to utter another word.

She definitely knew about the incident involving Sheng Siyuan injuring Xiahou Xiu at the research institute beforehand.

Therefore, when Yin Hehe mentioned this, she had little reason to doubt, given the Xiahou Family’s terrifying power.

As Doctor Qin got into the car, she chose to come clean.

"Actually, I don’t know much either, only that our leader mentioned Xiahou Xiu was killed by his grandfather while he was trying to shoot the assailant who had gravely injured his father, Xiahou Maolin."

"What?" Yin Hehe’s face drained of all color in an instant.

"Xiahou Maolin was gravely injured?"

"Yes, in the Chihai waters, between Chongzhou and Chongming Island. It’s strange; that sea area originally belonged to his father, Xiahou Yi. No one knows what happened, but he was seriously injured there."

As someone on the household staff, this doctor was quite informed about the internal affairs.

Listening on the side, Yin Hehe felt an increasing chill in her chest.

By the time the two finally reached the city center, her hands and feet were cold to the point of stinging.

"Doctor Qin, let’s go to the docks," she suggested.

"Huh?" As this was said, the doctor’s face changed.

"You want to go ask around this late? That’s not a good idea. Not to mention that people would have finished work and gone home, even if you went there asking, no one would dare tell you about it."

She earnestly tried to dissuade her.

But with that single statement, tears immediately fell from the eyes of the woman in front of her.

"But...I’m really worried about my husband, Doctor Qin. We have three children, if something really happened to him, I...what should I do?"

Hanging her head, she wept in front of the doctor, almost unable to speak.

Doctor Qin’s heart softened.

She was a woman herself and had been with this young girl for so long; she couldn’t bear to see her like this.

In the end, Doctor Qin took Yin Hehe to the Chongzhou police station.

"You mean that incident, oh, let me tell you, but you mustn’t spread this around," said the familiar face at the station, his expression becoming very grave after hearing it was about this matter.

Dr. Qin immediately assured him, "Don’t worry, I won’t say a word."

Only then did the police station’s person reveal the earth-shattering event that had occurred in Chongzhou ten days ago, telling it exactly as it happened.

"This matter, actually starts with Xiahou Yi’s illegitimate son."

"Xiahou Yi has an illegitimate son?" Dr. Qin’s eyes widened in shock, even larger than copper bells.

Yin Hehe also listened by the side, her breathing momentarily suspended.

The man immediately gestured with a "shush" at his lips. "Not so loud, we could lose our heads for this!"

"..."

"That day, Xiahou Maolin was actually conspiring with Chu Fengcheng to get rid of the illegitimate son, but the son was too formidable, and he ended up killing Xiahou Maolin in Chihai.

Later, when Xiahou Yi found out, he led his men to the hotel where the son was staying, shot the son, but missed the vital parts. It was Xiahou Maolin’s son who suddenly rushed in and killed the illegitimate son!"

The person from the police station must have held a not-so-low position, as he knew every detail of what had happened that day.

Dr. Qin listened, dumbstruck.

Meanwhile, Yin Hehe felt a buzzing sound in her head and she almost collapsed on the spot, toppling to the ground.

"Xiaoyin!" Seeing her condition, Dr. Qin shouted in alarm and quickly stabilized her.

Xiahou Maolin, Chu Fengcheng...

All the characters matched what Chu Yan had told her that day, the only discrepancy being the identity of the illegitimate son as Xiahou Yi’s.

Yin Hehe’s ears buzzed, and in that moment, her vision was filled with darkness; she didn’t know where she was or hear any sound. The only sensation was the feeling of being lifted by someone.

"Xiaoyin, wake up, Xiaoyin!"

"Xiaoyin—"

Like an eternity had passed, Yin Hehe finally emerged from the darkness, like a drowning person slowly surfacing.

"You’re finally awake? You scared me to death!" Dr. Qin said, eyes brimming with tears of joy upon seeing her open her eyes.

Yin Hehe muttered with pale lips.

"Dr. Qin, can you help me... ask him, who... exactly is the illegitimate son?" she asked, barely audible.

Dr. Qin immediately turned to his friend for the answer.

"I don’t know about that; everyone in the room was chased out by Xiahou Yi at that time. After the bloodbath, when Xiahou Yi took his son away, his face was also covered, and no one could clearly see who that person was," explained the friend.

Upon hearing this, Yin Hehe’s eyes tightly shut. She didn’t want to acknowledge this, still clinging to a sliver of hope.

But the tears quickly sliding down her face betrayed the fear and despair deep within her heart.

In the end, Yin Hehe asked the police officer to take her to the hotel where the crime occurred. The moment she stepped into the room, the scent of blood in the air made her dizzy and nauseous.

After a few deep breaths, she slowly walked inside.

"Look at this pool of blood, it’s Xiahou Xiu’s. He was shot in the head by his own grandfather at that time," pointed out the person from the police station, indicating the darkened bloodstains near the door.

Yin Hehe glanced at it and quickly averted her eyes.

Her face grew several shades paler.

No matter how influential Xiahou Yi was, the fact that he lost control and shot his own grandson dead showed just how intense the situation must have been.

Yin Hehe’s gaze fell upon another pool of blood inside the room, its area clearly much larger than the one by the door.

"Ah—" Suddenly, Yin Hehe let out an eerie, heart-wrenching cry.

She stumbled towards the pool of blood.
