After being murdered by my whole family, I was reborn

Chapter 2168 I'm Not Deaf

The old man said, "...I may be old, but I'm not senile!" He wanted to continue scolding her, but when he met her hurt eyes, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He loved his eldest son the most, and therefore also doted on this granddaughter.

"Aren't you senile?" Gu Jinxi revealed a mocking smile. "He did something wrong, but you're blaming me?"

The old man: "...Did you find out?"

"Grandpa, what are you talking about? Are you hiding something from me?" Gu Jinxi asked with a puzzled look in her eyes.

The old man stared intently at the expression on her face, becoming somewhat uncertain.

If she didn't know about that, he hoped she would never know, otherwise, the family would fall apart.

After a long silence, he sighed deeply: "Xiaoxi, he was wrong to do this. When he comes back, I'll make him apologize to you. After all, you're siblings, don't let such a small thing hurt your relationship."

"Yes, Grandpa." Gu Jinxi nodded obediently.

The old man kept observing her expression, and seeing that she wasn't angry, he felt even more uneasy instead of relieved.

Gu Jinxi called the servants to clean the study, then strode out of the study. The obedient look on her face vanished instantly, replaced by a pair of unfathomable, icy eyes.

Several police cars sped past on the road.

Inside the lead police car, Ji Qing sat in the passenger seat.

The driver was Captain Lu, separated by an iron fence, with Gu Jinhe, who had just been arrested, sitting in the back.

The phone rang suddenly. Captain Lu subconsciously reached into his pocket for his phone, took it out, and saw that there was no caller ID on the screen. He then realized that it wasn't his phone ringing and turned to Ji Qing, who was sitting next to him, to remind her, "Chief, your phone is ringing."

"I'm not deaf," Ji Qing said, glancing at him indifferently.

Captain Lu: "..." Why didn't you answer the phone if you heard it? Did she already guess who was calling?

The phone rang repeatedly, like a death knell, until Ji Qing finally took out her phone and saw that it was indeed her father calling. She then answered the call.

"Why won't you answer the phone? I'm not dead yet, and you're already trying to disown your old father?"

Ji Qing heard her father's complaining voice through the phone. She frowned and said, "Get to the point. If you have something to say, hang up. Don't disturb my work."

"You just went to Old Master Gu's house and kidnapped Gu Jinhe?"

"Ah."

"Well done! As expected of my daughter, Old Ji! You've got guts! Hahahaha!"

Ji's father's laughter was loud and jarring, and Ji Qing frowned even more deeply, reminding him again, "I'm working."

Mr. Ji seemed not to hear her warning, continuing to speak to himself: "You have no idea, the moment you took his grandson away, he called and berated your father. No matter who pressures you, don't release him, lock him up for a few more days! I'll take responsibility if anything happens!"

Seeing that he was just spouting nonsense, Ji Qing hung up the phone without hesitation.

Captain Lu glanced at her a few times and saw that she had a long face as if someone owed her eight million. He gently comforted her, "Did the old commander call and ask you to release the person?" Seeing that Ji Qing did not speak, he did not dare to ask any more questions.

Upon arriving at the police station, Ji Qing returned to her office; interrogating suspects was not her job as the police chief.

Captain Lu personally escorted Gu Jinhe into the interrogation room, showing no regard for his identity, and immediately handcuffed him.

Gu Jinhe sat upright and cooperated fully with Captain Lu's questions, but he denied knowing anyone in the medical laboratory and denied instructing the factory workers to poison the drugs.
