After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 182 Make a fortune

A few days ago, Qi Rong would occasionally ask Du Huang about Lin Fu's condition, just to find out whether her illness had improved or worsened, and whether she was still alive.

Du Huang always responded immediately, unlike this time when he remained silent for a long time.

Oh no, something must have happened at the villa!
Qi Rong's heart sank straight down.

"Someone! Go quietly to Falling Flower Villa, and whatever you do, don't let Young Master Heng find out..."

Soon a servant came to report.

"What? You said the villa is completely empty?" Qi Rongteng stood up abruptly, his expression filled with anger and fear.

How could this happen? Where are they?

Where is Lin Fu?
Who did it?

"Investigate, quickly! Report me to me any clues, no matter how small!"

"Yes, sir."

The servants left in a hurry, while Qi Rong paced anxiously in the room with his hands behind his back.

How could so many things have happened in just one night?
First, the mansion's storeroom was robbed, then Consort Miao disappeared, and now, the people in the villa have also vanished!

Putting these events together, it's clear this isn't a coincidence; it might really be the work of the same group of people!
Who did it?

Was it that Aunt Miao colluded with others to take revenge on the Qi family, or... was it related to Heng'er?

Qi Rong narrowed his eyes, a fierce glint flashing across them.

If it is Aunt Miao, then she must have secretly contacted the Jiao family or the Yu family, because she could not have seized the storeroom on her own, nor could she have left the Qi residence unnoticed last night under martial law.

Qi Rong wasn't puzzled as to why Zhang Qinmiao went to find Lin Fu, because the two sisters had long been at odds, and Qi Heng's arrival last night had only added fuel to the fire, probably angering Zhang Qinmiao, which was why she deliberately sought revenge on Lin Fu.

Women are always like this; they love to be jealous and will fight like cockfighting over the smallest bit of affection. Qi Rong, being the most sought-after woman, has always taken pride in this and found amusement in watching it happen.

If it was Qi Heng who did it... then he probably already knew that Lin Fu was going to die soon, so he deliberately sought revenge.

But it seems impossible for him to empty the warehouse and safely break into the other courtyard to take people away.

He couldn't do it alone, and the guests he brought were all a rabble with low cultivation levels. They were lucky if they didn't cause trouble, let alone help.

Qi Heng closed the door and went to the bedside to check on Lin Fu's condition.

She was still unconscious, but her brows had relaxed, as if she was feeling much better.

This brought a smile to Qi Heng's face.

He held his mother's hand in his hands; her hands were also thin and bony, but warm.

Just like her real existence.

"Mother...it's so good, it's so good that you survived."

Fortunately, everything was in time, and no regrets were caused.

"How's the situation with your father? Is he going to suspect you?" Liu Feng asked him.

Upon hearing Qi Rong's name, Qi Heng's smile vanished, replaced by a wave of disgust.

"He won't suspect anything, because I'm in an invincible position." Qi Heng sneered. "As long as I stay in the manor and under his watchful eye, I naturally won't be the one who sneaks into the villa at night." The logic is simple.

If he broke into the other courtyard, it must have been to save his mother.

There are two possible outcomes if you manage to save your critically ill mother: either there is no cure and you can only watch her die.

Another approach is to seek medical help everywhere, never giving up on treating her, and trying to buy her as much time as possible.

But in either case, Qi Heng could not stay in the Qi residence indefinitely, because if he stayed there, he would be unable to do these things!
So unless Qi Heng leaves the Qi family immediately, as long as he stays here without showing any sadness or impatience, Lin Fu will never be in his hands.

If Lin Fu were alive, he wouldn't be here. If Lin Fu were dead, he would immediately turn against Qi Rong instead of continuing to live in the mansion.

Based on this alone, Qi Heng is in an invincible position. Even if Qi Rong has doubts, he will not believe that Qi Heng did it.

“That’s right. On the surface, your mother’s time is coming up in the next few days. So as long as you stay in the Qi residence and don’t leave or go out, they won’t suspect you.” Hu Jiu smiled.

Yes, how could Qi Rong possibly know that his first wife was in the Qi residence!
If anyone comes to search, just take Lin Fu to the Immortal Abode, and they will still find nothing.

"Yes, so in order to prove my innocence, I have to show up in front of my good father from time to time." Qi Heng sneered.

Everyone looked at Qi Heng, feeling a pang of sadness.

Everyone knows that he hates Qi Rong to the core, because Lin Fu almost died; it could be said that she died at Qi Rong's hands.

But Qi Rong was his father, and no matter how much he hated him, he couldn't bring himself to commit patricide.

Even this matter is beyond the help of anyone!

Mo Jiuwei could easily get rid of Zhang Qinmiao, but she couldn't do the same to Qi Rong. No matter how much people disliked him, they could only let him live in the world because he was Qi Heng's father.

Qi Heng was well aware of this, but he was powerless to do anything about it, so he could only annoy his father with trivial matters.

"Immortal Abode, treasures, we've struck it rich!"

Seeing the tense atmosphere, Mo Jiuwei suddenly spoke up and then laid out a pile of golden things.

These are all treasures obtained from the Qi family's storeroom. In fact, to Mo Jiuwei, who has an exceptionally discerning eye, although there are many things there, there are very few that can truly be called rare treasures.

After all, the Qi family wasn't a top-tier prestigious family, and they were far behind those major sects and powerful clans in terms of wealth.

But who would complain about getting too much for free?

Besides, we can win by sheer volume!
"Oh my, the Illusionary Sound Bead and the Mystic Spirit Fruit? Quite a few good things here."

"We've really struck it rich! No wonder it's the treasure of the entire warehouse!"

Ji glanced at Qi Heng, afraid that he might be reluctant.

After all, these things don't belong to Qi Rong alone, but to the entire Qi family. If these things are lost, the Qi family can forget about developing for hundreds or thousands of years; they will only get worse and worse.

Without sufficient financial support, it is impossible to cultivate disciples. Without outstanding disciples to uphold the family's reputation, the Qi family will only be devoured by other forces, and its fate is predictable.

Qi Heng is, after all, a member of the Qi family. Even if he hates Qi Rong, he probably wouldn't want to see the Qi family end up like this.
Qi Heng looked up and met Ji Shimei's gaze; he instantly understood.

“I don’t feel sorry for the Qi family,” he said. “Without vision and magnanimity, they can’t go far.”

The Qi family was in complete chaos. Qi Ye, the head of the family, had no talent, was short-sighted, blindly doted on his useless younger brother, and acted solely on his whims without considering the bigger picture.
