CHAPTER 570: CHAPTER 490: HE MUST PAY THE PRICE

This matter has escalated to such a degree, it must be thoroughly investigated. All the surveillance footage has been damaged—clearly the work of an expert.

Previously, Lu Qing believed that as long as he was by Qin Miaomiao’s side, nothing would happen. He hadn’t expected someone to dare make a move right under his nose!

Completely disregarding him, they even tried to harm Qin Miaomiao—and almost overpowered her!

This infuriated Lu Qing, who immediately ordered all seven of his bodyguard teams to investigate thoroughly and track the culprit down!

The seven bodyguards truly lived up to their reputations. Little Fourth used his technical skills to restore the surveillance footage, revealing a masked individual carrying Qin Miaomiao into a room.

Even in the footage, this person appeared extremely cautious—always keeping their back to the camera, wearing a mask, and deliberately hunching their body to obscure their appearance entirely.

From their body shape, it was impossible to determine their identity.

Qin Miaomiao, watching the footage several times, said gravely:

"Hubby, this person’s repeated attempts at concealment suggest only one possibility."

Lu Qing quickly understood her inference.

"An acquaintance?"

"Correct. That’s the only explanation for why they’d go to such lengths to hide themselves."

Lu Qing’s eyes narrowed slightly. "No matter who it is, I’ll make them pay the price!"

"Narrowing the suspects to a small circle makes this much easier. A fox will always reveal its tail eventually."

Lu Qing instructed Little Sixth:

"Go through the list of names and find out who’s behind this. Bring them to me!"

"Understood, Young Master Lu."

Very soon, Little Sixth reported back:

"At last night’s banquet, there were indeed a few familiar faces."

"Who?"

"Li Li, Lu Xing, Xue Sheng, and Mo Wenwan."

At this moment, Qin Miaomiao spoke up to remind them: "I didn’t see Mo Wenwan or Xue Sheng."

"The list shows they were present. I’ll continue verifying at the scene whether they were really there or not."

"As for Li Li and Lu Xing, I believe they’re prime suspects. Xue Sheng is involved with Mo Wenwan romantically."

Qin Miaomiao briefly shared the gossip about those two, and Lu Qing, after a moment of thought, said:

"That leaves only Li Li and Lu Xing. Investigate all the footage regarding both of them. As soon as anything unusual is found, inform me immediately."

Little Sixth and Little Fourth exchanged determined glances. "Understood! We’ll get to the bottom of this!"

With the instructions given, Little Sixth and Little Fourth left the room. Qin Miaomiao, feeling somewhat fatigued, let out a yawn. After everything that happened the previous night, she still didn’t even know how she made it back.

Meanwhile, Lu Qing had barely slept all night, secretly reviewing every detail of the situation.

However, the person pulling strings behind the scenes was far too cunning, destroying all traces of evidence!

It was likely because they were aware of Lu Qing’s abilities that they acted with such care!

What exactly was their motive for targeting Qin Miaomiao?

"Hubby, I’ve been thinking—this man might not be targeting me specifically. I think he’s after you. I mean, I’m your wife. If someone goes after me, it’s essentially going against you. Any man with brains wouldn’t do this."

She paused, then added:

"Especially since you were there. It’s a blatant slap to the face. I’m likely not his primary goal, just the direct target."

"Whoever it is, once we find him, I’ll make sure he pays the price!"

A hint of cold determination flashed across Qin Miaomiao’s face. "To toy with me like this—I won’t let him off either."
