Priceless Baby: 101 Bedside Stories

Ye Ling frowned and said, “A normal couple wouldn’t be caught in such a fatal disaster. Have you investigated their car accident?”

“Investigated. Drug-impaired driving. The driver is a repeat offender, and he died on the spot.”

“A lack of evidence!” Ye Ling grumbled coldly. “Neatly done.”

Zhong Ran looked at Ye Ling quietly. This matter concerned Shen Qianshu. Thus, Ye Ling did not miss out a single detail at all. When Zhong Ran was investigating this matter, he also found it really surprising. From what he saw, this couple would not have any connections with Shen Qianshu at all.

Yet, they had a connection.

Ye Ling shook his head and said, “Wrong!”

“Master, is there anything wrong?”

“When Tong Hua was born, he was already harmed. It’s obvious that the culprit was targeting on the child from the start and not the adult,” Ye Ling said and frowned. “If the culprit was targeting the adults and wanted the whole family’s lives, why would he wait for two years to kill them to silence their mouths?”

“Perhaps... there was something that stopped him from doing so?”

Ye Ling closed his eyes slightly, pursed his lips, and said, “Go investigate Ghost City’s history and see if there were any major events that happened in Ghost City in the past few years.”

Zhong Ran nodded, took his laptop over, and cross-checked with the information he found. He widened his eyes suddenly.

“What’s wrong?”

“Less than a week after Tong Hua was born, Ghost City’s Master was murdered by someone at the toll gate. To commemorate his dead son, the lord set a death order: Ghost City cannot see blood in two years!”

“The time stamp is too much of a coincidence!” Ye Ling frowned. They were not able to get a hold of any of Ghost City’s information for the past few years and also had not seen Ghost City’s ruler. Instead, they took note of the major events that happened in Ghost City on the outside. “So, based on Ghost City’s strict rules and regulations, Tong Hua’s biological parents were killed by Ghost City’s people?”

“Master, if they were targeting little master, why would he still be safe and sound to this day? Moreover, he became the nation’s son and is living under the public’s eye every day. He is a really easy target. It would be very easy for Ghost City to take his life, yet why would they not take action?”

Ye Ling closed his eyes. He did not expect that so many secrets would be dragged in after investigating Tong Hua’s parents.

“This is so confusing. I do not understand either!”

Zhong Ran thought for a moment and was slightly hesitant. “Master, there is something that I don’t know if I should say!”

“If you are not supposed to say it, then don’t!”

“Somehow, I feel that this matter has all kinds of connections with Miss Shen.” Zhong Ran replied. Master, I know you are someone that says one thing and means another. I helped you to say it. Aren’t you suspecting this too? Especially when Miss Shen and Ghost City have all kinds of connections too.

This is too much of a coincidence!

Too many coincidences put together can only signify something greater.

“Yeah!” Ye Ling widened his eyes with no expression. A flicker of frostiness flashed past his eyes like a shining cold light. “Touching her will mean fighting with me”

In this world, there were really not many people who dared to fight with him.

Even if it was Ghost City, they need to be careful too!

Ye Ling walked out of the study room slowly. He stood on the landing of the spiral staircase and looked downstairs. Tong Hua and Shen Qianshu hid in the house too much for the past few days, and at that moment, both of them were playing poker cards. Ever since the identity of Master Qian was in danger of being exposed, Tong Hua liked playing poker with Shen Qianshu the most during his break time. They played until little Tong Hua’s face was filled with little notes, and he looked really pitiful.

“Mommy, have some mercy on me. My face almost has no more space left to stick on. How are you so heartless?” His tender and fair skin was covered by little notes, and he looked really tragic.

Shen Qianshu laughed out loud.

Ye Ling stood upstairs, staring intently at both the mother and son below.

The light that he had been chasing after his whole life was close to him.

He gave it his all to be by her side, and No one was allowed to snatch her away.

He was determined to be by her side for the rest of his life no matter what!
