Chapter 210 The Secret of Oblivion
Chapter 210 The Secret of Oblivion
Qin Yuyang's emotional changes were very obvious.
Xiao Jiu Jiu didn't answer immediately, but asked curiously, "Dad, is this really Mom's?"
At this moment, Qin Yuyang seemed to have entered another state, staring at the dagger in a daze.
Frowning, Xiao Jiujiu reached out and nudged Qin Yuyang's shoulder: "Daddy, Daddy! Stop spacing out, why aren't you saying anything!"
“This thing is indeed something your mother used to own.”
Qin Yuyang came to his senses and sighed softly.
After confirming, Xiao Jiujiu started to make plans in her mind.
Looking up, Qin Yuyang asked Xiao Jiujiu with a stern face, "Where did you get this from?"
Something that has been missing for so long must have a problem if it suddenly reappears.
"This morning, before I even left the house, someone delivered it to my doorstep," Xiao Jiujiu said earnestly, recalling the person from that morning.
Qin Yuyang paused for a moment, then asked, "Do you remember what that person looked like?"
"I can't describe it, but there are security cameras at home, so they must have captured his appearance."
"Well...you'll have to ask the butler."
Xiao Jiujiu hesitated before speaking.
Qin Yuyang nodded: "Okay, I understand. Is there anything else? If not, Dad is going to sleep."
"Something's wrong!" Little Jiu Jiu blinked, her beautiful eyes full of anticipation: "I want to know Mom's story, one that's related to this dagger."
It must be something very important, otherwise they wouldn't have come to us personally.
Qin Yuyang lowered his eyes to look at the dagger, and chuckled self-deprecatingly: "It's an adult matter, kids don't need to ask so many questions."
"I just want to know!" Xiao Jiu Jiu frowned, put her hands on her hips, and looked determined not to give up until she heard the answer.
Qin Yuyang: "At that time, I was preparing to start my own business, and your mother fully supported me."
After starting a successful business, things were going well, but then someone cheated them, and they suffered heavy losses. So your mother pawned this dagger.
He came back with a large sum of money to cover my losses.
Later, when I became rich, I wanted to redeem the dagger, but I couldn't find it anymore; I don't know who bought it.
Now that he's back here for some unknown reason, he has a premonition that something bad is about to happen.
Qin Yuyang sighed slowly, looking at the dagger with a complicated expression.
After a long while, he put the dagger back into the box.
Xiao Jiujiu tilted her head: "Now that the dagger is back, shouldn't we be happy?"
Qin Yuyang's expression gradually became serious, replaced by deep worry.
He glanced at Xiao Jiu Jiu, his hand touching the box: "Xiao Jiu, some things that are lost and then found again will surely come at a greater price."
He felt that something was wrong.
Yan Ruyun has been dead for so many years, and he has never even seen Yan Ruyun's family.
Xiao Jiujiu glanced at Qin Yuyang and keenly sensed his unease.
She tilted her head and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, are you worried about something?"
"It's nothing, you're overthinking it."
Qin Yuyang paused for a moment, then suppressed his wry smile: "It's just that the dagger appeared so suddenly that Dad was a little surprised."
"But it originally belonged to Mom. I thought you would be happy." Little Jiu Jiu blinked her big eyes, her eyes full of confusion.
Qin Yuyang sighed and did not answer Xiao Jiujiu's question.
He reached out and patted Xiao Jiu Jiu's head: "Xiao Jiu, you need to be careful when you go to school these next few days. Someone should be with you."
"Dad, what happened?" Little Jiu Jiu looked at Qin Yu Yang with her clear eyes.
But Qin Yuyang was unwilling to say more: "It's nothing. Just listen to your father, okay? I'll send a few uncles to escort you to school."
"Ok."
Although Xiao Jiu Jiu didn't understand what Qin Yuyang was so worried about, she still obediently nodded: "I understand, Dad."
"Ah."
Xiao Jiujiu left Qin Yuyang's room.
Back in the house, Xiao Jiu Jiu sat on the carpet, looking puzzled: "It's really strange. I don't know why, but I feel a little uneasy."
Xiao Jiujiu pressed her little hand to her chest and frowned.
Coal Ball wagged its tail beside it: "Little Nine, what are you worried about?"
Its tail stretched out and wrapped around Xiao Jiu Jiu's wrist, while it casually raised a paw and patted Xiao Jiu Jiu's hand: 【Don't worry】
"Wang!"
We're all here!
What is the little one thinking?
Cream and hot pot squatted on either side of Xiao Jiu Jiu, like two guardians.
Xiao Jiu Jiu couldn't help but smile. "It's nothing, I just want to go out and play with you guys tomorrow!"
"You're not filming anymore?" Coal Ball suddenly brought Xiao Jiuxiao back to reality.
Little Nine-Nine: ...
"Oh right, there are still some scenes that haven't been filmed yet, but there aren't many left." Xiao Jiu Jiu smiled secretly.
We should be able to finish filming all the scenes this week.
Because a short drama is only a few minutes long, she can film many scenes with the same background.
We can just edit and splice it together later.
Xiao Jiujiu comforted herself, "It's okay, it's okay, we can go next week. I want to go to the zoo!"
"Okay, okay, I've always wanted to go with SuSu, but SuSu... SuSu..."
Cream chimed in enthusiastically, but her voice trailed off.
It thought of Su Su, who had already died, and couldn't help but feel sad.
Hotpot comforted it from the side: "Don't be sad, we don't even know how our sickly one is doing, we haven't heard a word from him."
A person, a cat, and two dogs sat on the carpet and started chatting.
“I have a question. I remember someone came here, but I can’t recall what the person who gave me the box looked like.” Xiao Jiujiu frowned.
She used to have a photographic memory.
How could I forget what someone I just saw this morning looks like?
"What's going on?" Coal Ball patted Little Nine-Nine, frowned, and said, "I don't seem to remember either."
If it weren't for Xiao Jiu Jiu's reminder...
They won't suddenly discover that they've collectively lost their memory.
Just as the two of them were deep in thought, Ao Che spoke up: "You have been cursed with a forgetting spell. This is the talent of that secret family."
"What family?"
Xiao Jiu Jiu took out the Soul-Summoning Banner, and Ao Che also flew out: "Do you know anything?"
"You know a little bit, don't you?"
Ao Che coiled up into a ball, his head resting on his tail: "There is a rather ancient family in the capital that has been rooted there for hundreds of years."
I remember that everyone in their family had the surname Ji, and they knew a secret art of forgetting.
By casting the spell on themselves, they can make everyone who comes into contact with them forget their faces.
This kind of secret technique can defend against people, but it can't defend against technology.
"It's been monitored, it'll definitely be caught on camera," Coal Ball said. "Don't worry."
Xiao Jiujiu frowned: "That's hard to say, maybe they have other ways..."
Inside Qin Yuyang's room.
He lay on the bed, still holding the wooden box in his hand.
Xiao Jiu is very sensible; he doesn't want her to get hurt.
The dagger appeared out of nowhere.
Who would suddenly send over such an expensive dagger? There must be something fishy going on.
He's going to find that person!
He will never let anyone with malicious intent bully his daughter!
Thinking it over, Qin Yuyang got up, not caring about disturbing the housekeeper's rest, and asked him to retrieve the surveillance footage.
"I need the morning surveillance footage," Qin Yuyang instructed.
The butler nodded: "Yes, Mr. Qin, please wait a moment."
A short while later, the butler returned with a frown: "Mr. Qin, the surveillance footage from this morning is no longer available."
"How could there not be!"
Qin Yuyang stood up in surprise, his face filled with disbelief.
The butler said helplessly, "Mr. Qin, the surveillance footage from this morning must have been deleted by someone, and the person who deleted it is one of our own."
I just called and confirmed that the person who did it was the security guard who had just started working at our house two weeks ago.
After finishing this morning, the person disappeared.
"What about the ones at the main gate?" Qin Yuyang frowned, his worry deepening.
The butler shook his head: "They're all gone. My memory of men has become somewhat vague. I just vaguely remember that he was wearing a black trench coat and was a strange man."
He already knew that such a person had come.
But upon closer reflection, I realized that I couldn't remember what that person looked like at all.
Qin Yuyang frowned: "You can't remember anything at all?"
"I'm sorry, Mr. Qin, I have absolutely no clue."
The butler, somewhat skeptical, frowned and said, "I'll go ask the others."
"Ok!"
Qin Yuyang was greatly alarmed.
This person clearly came prepared. Who is he? What is his purpose in giving them this dagger?
The fact that someone had planted spies in the Qin family beforehand means they must have been identified long ago.
Qin Yuyang's concerns were confirmed by the housekeeper.
"Mr. Qin, I have already asked our servants, and none of them remember what that person looks like."
"This is...this is too strange..." the butler frowned.
He remembers everything except what that person looks like.
After trying to think about it, I could only feel that my mind was blank.
Thinking about it more deeply, my head actually started to hurt.
There's definitely something fishy going on here!
The housekeeper explained the situation to Qin Yuyang.
"Okay, I see."
Qin Yuyang rubbed his temples wearily: "You can go now. I'm sorry to have disturbed your rest tonight. Your salary will be doubled today."
"Thank you, Mr. Qin. I won't bother you any longer!"
The butler left happily.
After the housekeeper left, Qin Yuyang returned to his room.
Qin Yuyang's phone rang as soon as he lay down in bed.
"Who?"
Qin Yuyang picked up his phone, his brow furrowing slightly.
This is an unfamiliar number.
After staring at his phone for a while, and seeing that the other party didn't intend to hang up, Qin Yuyang finally answered the call: "Hello?"
His voice was extremely cold.
"Qin Yuyang, hee hee."
A chilling voice came from the other end of the phone, sending a shiver down Qin Yuyang's spine: "Who are you? Did you return the item?"
"Looks like you received the gift I sent you~ How about it, surprised?"
The man chuckled sinisterly; even the sound of his voice was unsettling.
Qin Yuyang gripped his phone tightly, trying to remain calm as he pressed the record button: "Who are you?"
"Does it matter who I am? I know you're an ungrateful man; you cheated on your wife while she was pregnant."
She's dead, and her belongings are being returned to you. Surprised?
"That dagger is worth a lot of money!" The person on the other end of the phone laughed as he spoke.
"Hahaha!"
That laughter was particularly eerie.
Qin Yuyang clenched his fists: "Who exactly are you? Speak!"
The person on the other end of the phone just kept laughing, clearly not taking Qin Yuyang seriously.
Qin Yuyang was furious and hung up the phone immediately.
The laughter stopped abruptly.
The person holding the phone paused, stunned.
I stared at my phone for a while before I could confirm that the call had really been disconnected.
He angrily dialed back the number.
Qin Yuyang lay on the bed, staring blankly at his phone.
This person is clearly problematic; he really doesn't want to listen to him.
Just as I was thinking about it, my phone rang.
He stared at his phone for a long time before answering.
"Oh dear, why are you getting angry over a few words? Are you just being petty? Don't be so narrow-minded."
The person on the other end of the phone spoke in a sarcastic tone.
Qin Yuyang snorted coldly: "Are you done talking? If you are, I'll hang up. You talk too much nonsense."
"Qin Yuyang! What do you mean by this!" The voice on the other end of the phone finally changed.
I've become a little impatient.
Qin Yuyang said coldly, "Speak if you have something to say, otherwise stop talking nonsense."
Seeing his tough attitude and apparent lack of fear, the man chuckled sinisterly: "Who I am is not important, hehe, Qin Yuyang, you're scared!"
I know something, a big secret.
Qin Yuyang remained unmoved and forced himself to remain calm.
His knuckles were white from gripping the weight so tightly.
"Oh, I don't know what you're talking about!"
Qin Yuyang calmly retorted.
In his mind, Qin Yuyang went through everything he knew, and it seemed that there was no big secret that could threaten him.
He relaxed a little.
"Hehe, you're relaxed now?"
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to know what Qin Yuyang was thinking and suddenly spoke up.
Qin Yuyang frowned and pressed the record button again.
The person on the other end of the phone laughed and said, "I know a very important secret about your daughter."
She is a very special child, do you know that?
Her abilities are beyond your imagination. If I told the people in the capital this secret, do you know how many people would kill her?
Qin Yuyang could barely maintain his composure.
My heart sank suddenly, and a chill ran from the soles of my feet straight to the top of my head.
What does he mean?
What does it mean that so many people are chasing after Xiao Jiu?
Besides the significant side effects, is there something else about Xiao Jiu's ability?
The most important question is, how did this person know Xiao Jiujiu's secret?
"Who are you? What is your purpose?" Qin Yuyang asked, trying his best to control his emotions.
However, his overly emotional questioning betrayed his inner unease.
"Hehe, guess."
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to be deliberately keeping him hanging.
Qin Yuyang gritted his teeth and said, "What exactly do you want to do?"
"Don't be so nervous, I just want your daughter."
The man chuckled and whispered, "You have so many children, losing one daughter is nothing, is it?"
"Besides, you didn't like your ex-wife, and she didn't love you either. So what if your child died?"
The low voice was like the whisper of a demon.
"you dare!"
Qin Yuyang roared, "If you lay a finger on my daughter, I will never let you get away with this!"
We will find this person no matter where he is!
"Hehe, then we'll see what you're capable of." After saying that, the man hung up the phone.
Qin Yuyang gripped his phone tightly, his face ashen.
He knew that a storm was about to break out targeting Xiao Jiu...
