Back To The 90s: The Resilient Daughter-In-Law-Chapter 1153 - 1152: Chilled to the Core
Wei Qin squinted slightly, his beautiful phoenix eyes containing a hint of unease, astonishment, and complexity that even he himself did not recognize. He watched Little Wang handling the documents with indifference, but his lips did not curl into the smile Little Wang had hoped for.
Little Wang’s excitement was doused, as if someone had thrown a bucket of cold water over him.
It was chilling to the bone.
"Wei Qin," Little Wang approached anxiously, standing still.
He had noticed long ago, since leaving Imperial City, that Wei Qin had not been happy. In fact, he had never been truly happy over the years, until he had met Jiang Yang, which made him somewhat better, and that was when Little Wang could detect his subtle emotions. 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦
Wei Qin came back to his senses, furrowing his brows as he looked at Little Wang, then glanced down at the documents in his hands and nodded slightly.
Upon receiving the signal, Little Wang immediately handed over the documents and then said, "Through our extensive investigations and inquiries over the last two months, we have identified thirty-five couples who meet the conditions and timeline. These thirty-five couples come from a total of twenty-seven locations, and our people have already gone to their registered residences to make inquiries."
"How did the inquiries go?" Wei Qin asked.
His patience was running thin; more than anything, he did not want to continue this search any longer. The more time dragged on, the less patience he had. During these two months, he kept asking himself why he was so persistent in searching.
Was it just to find a brother?
But for him, he already had a brother, Jiang Yang. He was increasingly doubting whether hurting Jiang Yang to find this brother was worth it.
What if the brother he found was like Wei An?
If that were the case, he might as well not search at all.
"There are no detailed results yet because the time gap is just too long, and many people are no longer at their original registered residences. There are also some who were never registered, so we need to keep searching bit by bit," Little Wang expressed his frustration too.
Over these two months, he had developed dark circles under his eyes, while constantly worrying about Wei Qin’s health. He feared any mishap might lead to a repeat of a previous incident, although fortunately, Wei Qin’s health had improved during this period.
Still, this worried many people in Imperial City.
"It’s too slow!" Wei Qin’s voice chilled, displeased, "I don’t have that much time; double the police force deployed for the search. Also, have all local police stations participate in the inquiries."
"Yes!" Little Wang immediately agreed.
Wei Qin looked down at the documents, the names Jiang Dechun and Zhang Fengmei starkly written at the top of the first page.
He frowned subconsciously and looked up at Little Wang, "Are they on the first page because they are the prime suspects?"
Little Wang looked down quickly and shook his head earnestly, "No, the main reason they’re first is that Qi Li Town is closest to Sui County, so I plan to go there personally."
"I see!" Wei Qin’s gaze lingered on the name Jiang Dechun for a long while, another hand rhythmically tapping on the armrest of his wheelchair. Eventually, he made up his mind.
"I’ll go with you."
"But your body can’t handle the shaking," Little Wang objected subconsciously.
"It’s alright, since it’s very close, we can just go slower. Besides, I don’t want to keep waiting here. If I’m just going to wait, I might as well have stayed in Imperial City!"
