Chapter 10: The Years
"It's the word 'death', and the letter has no beginning or end, and I really can't think of anyone who would harm your father except for a prank. But neither you nor I cared about it at the time, so I ...... later" Qin Peihan lowered his head gloomily.
Qin Yu patted her on the back and landed his eyes on the newspaper clipping in his hand.
Perhaps it has been through the precipitation of the years, and the corners of the newspaper clippings have been yellowed a lot, and the whole paper has a strong smell of books.
When she saw the big words "Jiangcheng Lighthouse Blue Bird Case" on it, her heart was finally slightly touched.
This is where her biological father once lived.
Although she had never seen him since she was a child.
But she could feel that he was here, and he never left.
"Xiaoyu, my mother doesn't ask you to be rich and rich, I just hope that you can be safe and don't follow the path of your biological father again. We don't have any power against the others, no matter who the man in the shadows is, what his purpose is, he killed your father twenty years ago. Now I only have two children, you and Xiaofan, even if I work hard, I have to protect you well. Qin Peihan touched Qin Yu's head and said with tears word by word.
"But Mom, if none of us is willing to uncover that layer of truth, we can only wait in vain for the opportunity to be plotted by others. Do you want to live your whole life and not know my father's whereabouts? Mom, you don't want that, do you? For the first time, Qin Yu boldly retorted in front of Qin Peihan.
Originally, the suggestions she made to Mo Zhefan tonight were just whimsical ideas. But now that she got the newspaper with her own hands, she only felt that the weight in her hands made her breathless. If you can only be an ordinary person in this life, you also need to know clearly why her biological father died.
There is no way for her to live with this secret, with an unknown answer, and pretend to be deaf and dumb.
"Xiao Yu!" Qin Peihan shook her head, tears already filling her face.
"Mom, I believe that evil does not prevail over good. Since the man who killed my father has not been caught, it is my duty to find this person. Even if everyone has given up on this case, even if you and my father don't agree with my approach, I will give my biological father a truth! Qin Yu looked at his mother firmly, and there was no trace of retreat on his smooth face.
Qin Peihan took a breath, not knowing what to say or what to do in order to dispel her thoughts at this moment.
In a trance, there seemed to be a distant memory coming.
She seemed to hear Qin Zhize's voice, which fell to her ears from the distant and ethereal lighthouse.
At that time, he hugged her gently, saying that when their children grow up, they will definitely be an upright and kind person.
Looking at Qin Yu's face in front of him, it was as if he had seen Qin Zhize's smiling face and groaning.
"Since...... This is your idea, and your mother will not stop you. But Xiaoyu, you must promise me that I will live safely. Qin Peihan choked and hugged his daughter.
"Mom, you don't need to worry, as long as you find the truth about your father's death, I will come back and give you an explanation. Now that I'm older, I want to go out and see the world. Jiangcheng is not far from Guicheng, so it should be regarded as a graduation trip for yourself. Qin Yu said with a smile.
Qin Peihan wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes: "But think about it again, if you decide to go, then your mother will not stop you, as long as you can ensure your safety." ”
"Don't worry, Mom, you rest early, I'll go back to the room first."
Qin Yu took the newspaper clippings, and after saying goodnight to Qin Peihan obediently, he turned around and returned to the room.
