Chapter 1255: Chapter 1256: The Delinquent Princess (2 Chapters)
Song Xiaodong, Feng Kexin, and Qi Lanqin, all of their foster parents died early. Previously, Song Xiaodong didn’t think much about it, considering it an accident.
But now that Qi Lanqin suddenly brought up such a question, it made both of them feel that this matter wasn’t so simple, and it might even be that Dragon Gate had killed their foster parents for some special reason.
So the three people looked at Lin Feng intently, each feeling an inexplicable tension in their hearts. As Dragon Gate people, they truly hoped this wasn’t a fact.
Lin Feng glanced at the three of them and said, “Are you suspecting that it was our Dragon Gate people who caused your parents’ deaths?”
Qi Lanqin and Feng Kexin didn’t speak, but their faces clearly showed expressions of doubt. Song Xiaodong was more composed, but he too was evidently skeptical.
Lin Feng sighed and said, “To be honest, I also find this quite unbelievable. I even suspected that our Dragon Gate people might have done it, since the coincidences are too striking. If one person’s parents died, that would be one thing, but all four of your families suffered accidents, with foster parents all dying, it seems incredibly eerie.”
“Four people? Are you saying that the foster parents of another princess also passed away?” Qi Lanqin and Feng Kexin almost said in unison.
Song Xiaodong took a deep breath and said, “I suppose General Lin must have conducted an investigation, right?”
“Indeed, we conducted a thorough investigation afterward, but because we were initially avoiding the Dark Night Sect’s pursuit, and to prevent your whereabouts from being known to them, we weren’t near you.”
“By the time we learned of your foster parents’ deaths, they had long been buried. As it was officially classified as an accident, there was no valuable clue left behind, and we indeed didn’t find any useful clues.”
“However, we’ve always been suspicious about this, but it just seems inexplicable. If the Dark Night Sect did it, why wouldn’t they just kill you? If it were our Dragon Gate people, it wouldn’t align with our style, and it wouldn’t benefit you either. We hid you away so you could help Dragon Gate rise again in the future; why would we let you suffer? If anything else went wrong, it would be the biggest loss for Dragon Gate.”
After listening to Lin Feng’s analysis, Song Xiaodong, Qi Lanqin, and Feng Kexin exchanged a glance, and then Song Xiaodong said, “This matter is really bizarre.”
Lin Feng nodded and said, “Yes, fortunately, you’ve all grown up healthy. The Young Master has exceptional abilities, and the two princesses are indeed beautiful and graceful, very much like princesses. It’s just the third princess… ahem…”
“What happened with the third princess?”
Qi Lanqin and the others just wanted to confirm one thing; now that Lin Feng explained it was unrelated to Dragon Gate, their hearts were at ease. As Dragon Gate princesses, what they feared most was that this event was actually done by Dragon Gate people.
Unable to find answers now, they temporarily won’t dwell on it, and the topic quickly returned to the third princess.
“The third princess… haha, you better see for yourselves; I shouldn’t comment. Young Master, princesses, if there’s anything unclear in the future, anything I can help with, please feel free to reach out to me. Let’s end our conversation here today.”
Although Lin Feng is just a Dragon Gate Elder, he spoke these words as a general. Hearing this, Song Xiaodong and the others didn’t say more, stood up, and took their leave.
Sitting in the car, the three didn’t conveniently look at the materials Lin Feng handed over until they returned to the He family. Only then did Song Xiaodong open the materials and saw a photo with the name… Qiao Yunxi.
Even though it was just a headshot, her facial features showed she was undoubtedly a first-class beauty, no less than Qi Lanqin and Feng Kexin.
“This sister is also very beautiful.” Feng Kexin immediately complimented.
Qi Lanqin also nodded, becoming more curious as well, and said, “Let’s look further down.”
When they looked further down, they soon understood why Lin Feng said that.
Qiao Yunxi’s parents died when she was six, and she lived quite a tough life. A six-year-old girl trying to survive—how difficult that must be, Qi Lanqin and Feng Kexin knew very well.
At least they had some people to help them, so despite the struggles and hardships, they grew up smoothly.
But Qiao Yunxi had a much harder time. She lived in a slum, where life was not only difficult but also chaotic, with numerous thugs and little gangs forming messy cliques.
Qiao Yunxi stopped studying after junior high and went straight into the world, now becoming a big sister character with about twenty followers, managing security for a bar and a disco.
Later, some other photos of her were shown, different from the previous one. She was heavily made up, with thick eyeshadow, exaggerated blush, variegated hair, and a row of earrings on the ear—a typical delinquent girl.
“This…” After reading the materials, Qi Lanqin and Feng Kexin exchanged glances and then both smiled wryly.
