Chapter 299: Chapter 299: Inescapable _1

"How can you..." Upon hearing Bo Jingyan, Xia Qingtian looked at him somewhat taken aback.

Bo Jingyan knew what she was thinking. He indulgently ran his hands through her hair, "Don’t worry. Grandfather may be in poor health, but he’s not as frail as you think, and..."

He paused, a shadow passing in his eyes.

"It’s good to let Grandfather see her true face, so she can’t continue exploiting him."

Hearing the conversation between these two, the old man Bo timely said, "Qingqing, don’t worry. As an old man, I’ve weathered plenty of storms. How can such a minor issue upset me?"

Seeing his acceptance, Xia Qingtian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

The two stayed with Old Master Bo for a while longer, until he exhausted his energy and fell asleep. Only then did they leave the ward.

After leaving the ward, Xia Qingtian said, "Chen Momo seemed overly reactive just now."

"Hmm." Bo Jingyan nodded. "I will have this matter investigated."

Xia Qingtian reminded him, "Previously, when I suspected them, I had a private investigator look into it. I know Qian Wenbin blackmailed Chen Momo several times as she transferred a lot of money to him."

"So, I think he may have something on Chen Momo. If we investigate from this angle, we might uncover something unexpected."

"Okay," Bo Jingyan accepted her suggestion.

Then, in front of Xia Qingtian, he took out his phone and called someone to look into Qian Wenbin’s death and whether Chen Momo was implicated, as well as any suspicious items in Qian Wenbin’s possession.

Watching Bo Jingyan, Xia Qingtian suddenly had a strong premonition...

Chen Momo wouldn’t last long.

Justice is inevitable; there’s nowhere to hide!

If she did so many bad things, she would receive her punishment sooner or later.

...

Meanwhile.

After leaving the hospital in a hurry, Chen Momo rushed home and began to pack.

She was really panicked.

She didn’t understand how Qian Wenbin’s body, tied to a rock and sunk to the sea bottom, had somehow floated to the surface and was discovered?

Could it be that even the heavens favored Xia Qingtian and sided with her?

Filled with resentment, but feeling helpless, she wondered if she had left behind any incriminating evidence when she killed Qian Wenbin — her first murder.

She couldn’t just sit around and wait for her demise; she had to flee from the country.

If she’s lucky enough to get through this without the police finding any evidence, she’d come back to deal with Xia Qingtian again.

With that in mind, Chen Momo packed her luggage as fast as she could, took her passport, and was ready to leave the country.

To her surprise, when she arrived at the airport, she was told that she was now restricted from leaving the country.

Chen Momo was so panicked that she couldn’t even hold her luggage securely.

She knew why she was being stopped from leaving the country. It must be that the police had made her a suspect in a criminal investigation and restricted her exit in case she ran away.

What’s she going to do?

If she really left any evidence behind, would she actually end up in prison?

The very thought of it sent her trembling in fear.

Chen Momo didn’t dare to go home now, so she hauled her luggage to a small, anonymous inn to hide.

All she could do every day was silently pray in her heart.

She hoped that she could get through this!

...

After delegating the investigation into whether Chen Momo was Qian Wenbin’s murderer to his subordinates, Bo Jingyan and Xia Qingtian put the matter to the back of their minds.

Now they had more important things to deal with.

Perhaps due to the side effects of the medication, Old Master Bo had been having a poor appetite and couldn’t eat much.

He was in the recovery period and needed to eat better to replenish his strength. How could he recover if he didn’t eat enough?

Every day Xia Qingtian saw Old Master Bo barely eat anything, it tugged at her heartstrings.

When they asked the doctor about it, he said he was powerless and suggested them to prepare foods Old Master Bo normally likes to eat.

Of course, this didn’t help.

Zhang Bo, who had been serving Old Master Bo for decades, knew his tastes best and had already brought to the hospital all his favorite dishes without caring about the effects on his recovery.

Unfortunately, Old Master Bo’s situation had not improved at all, and he was getting thinner.

One day, Xia Qingtian was accompanying Old Master Bo on a walk outside when they passed a pond and saw that the lotus flowers had bloomed.

Suddenly Old Master Bo sighed, "Mrs. Bo’s lotus root and pork rib soup is very delicious. I can always drink several bowls."

While saying this, nostalgia crossed his face.

At this, Xia Qingtian’s eyes lit up. She had an idea.

After she finished helping Old Master Bo with his walk, she immediately called Bo Jingyan to ask him what Mrs. Bo’s lotus root and pork rib soup tasted like. She wanted to cook it for Old Master Bo.

Bo Jingyan couldn’t describe the taste, but...

He remembered that among Mrs. Bo’s possessions, there was a cookbook with her unique recipes that she used when cooking.

Xia Qingtian was very interested in the cookbook.

So after Bo Jingyan finished with some company business, they both went back to the old house together and found the cookbook.

The recipes in the book were handwritten by Mrs. Bo, which made it especially cherished.

Xia Qingtian also found that all the recipes in the cookbook were dishes that Old Master Bo loved to eat.

With this cookbook, she suddenly had confidence that she could get Old Master Bo to eat well.

Xia Qingtian and Bo Jingyan went to the market together to buy the freshest ingredients, and then they started cooking according to the recipes in the cookbook.

Just as she was preparing to cook,...

"Ah..." Xia Qingtian clutched her stomach, her face twisted in pain.

"What’s wrong?" Bo Jingyan, hearing the commotion, rushed into the kitchen. Seeing her clutching her stomach in pain, he was immediately worried.

Xia Qingtian had already regained some composure at this time, "I’m fine. It’s just that the baby kicked me just now. It hurt a bit, but I feel much better now."

With that, she was ready to pour the oil into the already heated wok.

The little one in her belly was very naughty and kicked her twice more. She was in so much pain that she immediately had to support herself on the stove.

It seemed the little one did not like the kitchen or the act of cooking. Whenever she turned on the stove, it would start kicking her. She hadn’t even started cooking and she was already sweating from the pain.

Seeing this, Bo Jingyan turned off the stove immediately. His eyes were full of concern as he looked at her, "Stop cooking."

Saying this, before Xia Qingtian could respond, he immediately picked her up sideways and took her out of the kitchen, settling her on the sofa in the living room.

Xia Qingtian, thinking about Old Master Bo’s lack of appetite, couldn’t sit still.
