Chapter 294: Chapter 294: Defeated General_1

Thinking of the old Bo family master, Xia Qingtian felt like crying again, but she held back.

"Alright." She nodded, her tone firm. "I will take care of myself, Grandpa won’t need to worry about me."

Time waits for no one. After the two had made their plans, they left a few reliable bodyguards to guard the old Bo family master in the hospital, and then prepared to split up and take action.

When they were about to part, Xia Qingtian couldn’t resist her emotions, and she reached out to hug Bo Jingyan at the waist.

"What’s wrong?" Bo Jingyan was somewhat surprised.

Xia Qingtian buried her face into Bo Jingyan’s chest, her voice muffled. "Jingyan, thank you."

"Thank you for understanding and supporting me, I am really happy."

After she finished speaking, without waiting for Bo Jingyan’s response, she blushed, let go of him, quickly followed Jian Xuan, and left to investigate the source of the poison.

Bo Jingyan watched her retreating figure, a hint of affection flashing in his eyes.

...

When Xia Qingtian returned to the old house, she began her investigation of the poison source.

First, she asked Mr. Zhang, who was rarely apart from the old Bo family master, to establish what the old master had been in contact with over the past few days, and what unusual things he had eaten.

Fortunately, the old Bo family master had a very regular lifestyle. The items and food he came into contact with were all ordinary.

Just to be safe, Xia Qingtian collected all these things and sent them for toxicological testing.

Luckily, Bo Jingyan had given her Jian Xuan’s help. If they had followed the normal process, it would have taken days to get the results. With Jian Xuan’s help, she had all the results by the same night.

There was no issue with any food or items that the old Bo family master had come into contact with.

Then why was the old Bo family master poisoned?

If there was no problem with the food and the items, then...

Could it be that the people he had been in contact with were the issue?

With this thought, Xia Qingtian’s eyes lit up at once.

She immediately asked Mr. Zhang who the old Bo family master had met over the past few days, and was there anyone particularly suspicious.

Quite a few people had been in contact with the old Bo family master these days, apart from his old friends. And there were also people who had come to visit him.

Xia Qingtian asked Mr. Zhang to compile a list of everyone’s names.

Then, she was ready to give the list to Jian Xuan and ask him to investigate who among these people held a grudge against the old Bo family master, when suddenly...

She thought she saw a familiar name on the list.

Xia Qingtian paused, squinting carefully at the name, and indeed, she wasn’t mistaken – the name was familiar indeed –

Chen Momo!!!

Xia Qingtian’s eyebrows knotted at once, "Mr. Zhang, did Chen Momo come to see Grandpa these past few days?"

"Yes." Mr. Zhang nodded.

"Didn’t Grandpa refuse to see her?" Xia Qingtian immediately felt even more puzzled.

Chen Momo had previously tried to frame her and was exposed, consequently being expelled from the Bo family’s old house. Because of this, the old Bo family master’s impression of her had hit rock bottom. How could he have agreed to see her?

Mr. Zhang explained, "Miss Chen stopped our car outside the villa. She said she realized her wrongdoings and would be leaving A City in a few days to settle abroad and would likely never return. It’s why she came to bid farewell to the old master."

"Taking into account that she had saved his life once before, the old master let her into the villa. They spoke for a bit, then Miss Chen left without eating."

Hearing this, Xia Qingtian’s first reaction was that Chen Momo was lying.

A person as ambitious as her, who wanted to be Mrs. Bo with all her heart, how could she just willingly leave A City?

She had a strong hunch – all of this was surely Chen Momo’s doing!

Xia Qingtian gave the list to Jian Xuan, asking him to continue with the original plan. As for herself, she decided to meet Chen Momo in person to check if her guess was correct; whether Chen Momo was indeed behind it all.

The next day.

Xia Qingtian arrived at Chen Momo’s house early in the morning and rang her bell.

However, the house was silent, as if no one was home.

If it was anyone else in this situation, they would definitely leave, but...

Xia Qingtian was sure that she had heard some faint footsteps inside the room. Chen Momo must have seen through the peephole that it was her, and hence, deliberately didn’t answer the door.

"Chen Momo, stop pretending, I know you’re home. Open the door." She knocked on the door again, "I have questions for you."

The room remained quiet, and there was no movement from within.

"Okay, so you won’t open the door?" Xia Qingtian let out a cold chuckle, "Don’t think hiding inside and not making a sound will deter me."

She took out her phone and made a call.

Less than five minutes later, several men arrived and with brute force, removed the door to Chen Momo’s house.

Chen Momo stared at the bare door in horror, then yelled furiously, "Xia Qingtian, what right do you have to take down my door?"

"Why didn’t you open the door just now? Are you feeling guilty?" Rather than answering her question, Xia Qingtian questioned sharply.

A hint of guilt flashed in the depths of Chen Momo’s eyes as she claimed, "I don’t know what you’re talking about!"

Xia Qingtian, with her face cold, exuding a strong aura, walked into Chen Momo’s home.

"You went to the old house to see Grandpa a few days ago and said you were going to live abroad. By now, you should have finished packing or are in the process of doing so. I’ll just come and help."

With that said, she intended to have a good look around.

Chen Momo guessed why Xia Qingtian was there that day.

That’s why she initially pretended not to be home, hoping Xia Qingtian would get the hint and leave quickly, but she unexpectedly broke down her door.

Knowing she had something to hide, Chen Momo immediately stepped forward to block Xia Qingtian. "Xia Qingtian, stand back. This is my home, and you’re not welcome here. Please leave, or else I’ll call the police and charge you with breaking into a residence."

At this, Xia Qingtian sneered.

"Okay, go ahead and sue. Do you think I’ll be afraid of you?"

Xia Qingtian gazed at Chen Momo with pure disdain, "But before that, I should remind you that I’m legally married to Bo Jingyan. His earnings are our common property, they’re half mine."

"This house was bought with the black card that Bo Jingyan gave you, correct? Meaning this house is also half mine. Me coming to my own house, what’s the problem with that?"

At this, Chen Momo’s face twisted with anger.

Xia Qingtian, however, pushed past her and checked the entire house.

She hadn’t packed at all, there were many unopened deliveries still on the floor. This didn’t look like the actions of someone preparing to move abroad.

Since Chen Momo had no intention of leaving, then there wasn’t any question of bidding farewell.

But why did she insist on seeing the old Bo family master, even resorting to lies to do so?

It was because she wanted to poison the old Bo family master!!!
