Qin Shaojin glanced at the brown folder and picked it up for a closer look, "Paternity test?"

His eyes narrowed slightly, "Who and whose?"

Huo Jinnan lit a cigarette, took a drag, and said in a low, magnetic voice, "Gu Yunqing and Huo Minhan’s."

Gu Yunqing and Huo Minhan’s?

Qin Shaojin pulled out the document to have a look and then lifted his gaze towards Huo Jinnan, his eyes flickering between clarity and darkness.

Huo Jinnan’s face showed no emotion as he called the waiter to order dishes.

Qin Shaojin calmly put the paper back in its place, looking in the direction of Huo Jinnan.

Xiaowei and Gu Yunqing actually don’t share a drop of blood relation!

Given Xiaowei’s temperament, he must be Huo’s seed, so who is Xiaowei’s mother?

Thinking back to the words Qiao Qiao said when she left, everything seemed to mysteriously resonate, stirring a subtle feeling in my heart!

So, did Gu Jizhou and Gu Yunqing secretly switch the child at the hospital, telling Miss Che that the child was gone?

However, the records all show a girl; how did it turn into a boy?

There must be something more to this.

After watching the waiter leave the private room after taking the order, he walked over, locked the door, and sat back down, "So, are you saying Gu Yunqing had a fake pregnancy and got someone to go to bed with her?"

Huo Jinnan flicked the ash and replied, devoid of warmth, "I didn’t help with that."

Huo can crack dark jokes too!

Qin Shaojin laughed innocuously, finding the situation increasingly interesting, "Right! With a woman like Gu Yunqing, she wouldn’t catch my eye, let alone Huo’s."

Huo Jinnan remained silent, smoking deeply.

Qin Shaojin looked at him, "Fine, I’ll investigate the rest. Just don’t tell me that in the end, it was Gu Jizhou who did the deed."

Huo Jinnan gave Qin Shaojin a glance.

Looking down, Qin Shaojin’s eyes held a secretive gleam, "Huo, I’ll say it again, since you’ve started, don’t stop, and don’t suddenly pull out halfway."

"Mhm," Huo Jinnan took a drag on his cigarette, glanced at Qin Shaojin with a flicker of a smile, and crushed the cigarette in the ashtray.

Qin Shaojin watched the wisp of smoke lingering on the cigarette butt and smiled absently, "This is the ending I want to see."

Huo Jinnan looked down, his gaze deep and tranquil.

Qin Shaojin’s voice chilled, "Blood can only be repaid with blood."

Repaid?

Huo Jinnan’s brow furrowed, looking down at the regiment commander.

The regiment commander seemed to understand what they were talking about, barked softly, its eyes shining with a dark glint.

Huo Jinnan stroked its head.

There seemed to be a flicker of sorrow in the regiment commander’s eyes, and it closed them, nuzzling Huo Jinnan’s palm.

Even Qin Shaojin, standing to the side, felt moved, vaguely remembering how the regiment commander had stood in the snow for three nights, its mournful howling, its voice gone hoarse...

Animals have feelings just as humans do!

Since Huo Jindong left, the regiment commander had been following Huo closely, and all these years had passed in the blink of an eye.

Time had never passed so slowly before! 𝒻𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘸ℯ𝒷𝘯𝘰𝑣ℯ𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝘮

But at long last, it waited for this day.

Qin Shaojin looked at Huo Jinnan and raised his glass.

Huo Jinnan touched his glass gently with his own, silently sipping the red wine, looking down at the swaying red in the glass, his eyes reflecting a shadowy glint.

————Yunqi Academy————

Time flew to the end of the month; Che Huan had already resigned from the hospital.

These days had been unusually peaceful, with no one from the Gu Family coming to make trouble.

Having finished work early, she just left the hospital when she saw Li Li standing at the entrance.
