Chapter 1754: Hiding Alone From The World

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lu Yuan sent the information to Huo Shaoheng for him to check because Lu Jin was the one who set up the computer in Lu Yuan’s apartment. It had the most advanced hacking software, allowing him to enter and leave the major network systems freely as if he owned the place.

Lu Yuan was running around with a few of his subordinates. Of course, it was not convenient for him to investigate these things.

Huo Shaoheng immediately turned on Lu Yuan’s computer and logged in to the hacking software. With quiet confidence, he found the City Z Government Land Administration Department’s internal network system.

With Lu Jin’s hacking software, he could even “take a tour” around the internal network of the American CIA. Accessing the City Z government network was a piece of cake.

Huo Shaoheng’s own computer was very powerful too. After logging in, he quickly performed an index search according to the era.

He was able to find the specific era to make an inquiry. This was with reference to the elaborate details the Qin’s Private Group had plastered all over their official website as to when they acquired this land. Subsequently, the first hospital of the Qin’s Private Hospital network was built on this land.

Based on this information, Huo Shaoheng uncovered the transaction records of that year in no time.

Just like the other accounts and information of the Qin’s group, this transaction was also clearly recorded in the book.

A few decades ago, the founder of the Qin’s Private Hospital Group, Qin Baye, bought a piece of marginal land from C City’s Qin Huichang and his wife.

At that time, Z City was not a city yet. It was merely a small town.

That piece of land was not far away from the town.

At that time, no one could imagine this piece of land so quickly prospered within half a year and was redrawn as economic land, becoming a part of the National Plan.

Moreover, looking at the price at that time, it was also pretty much fair. It was thirty percent higher than the market price at that time.

All the data was similar to what was on the Qin’s official website.

Moreover, the official Qin’s website stated that in order to take this piece of land, not only did Qin Baye sell all the properties in his family, he had used up all his savings and even borrowed a sum of money from a loan shark. It was only then he successfully bought the land from the “Greedy” Qin Huichang’s couple.

No one knew but they believed the Qin Huichang’s couple had regretted selling the land so much that they were permanently green with envy.

While they sold the land off at a relatively “high price”, prices had risen dramatically after half a year, and the land price had increased by almost a hundred times.

This was truly a lucrative business!

Huo Shaoheng sighed while shook his head, wondering if it was Qin Baye’s luck, or if there was something else going on?

However, with his experience, he was sure that there was something else going on.

It was possible to make a small fortune through luck, but it was definitely impossible to make such a big fortune through luck alone.

If there were a billionaire who rendered his “luck” like this, then it must be a part of the hidden truth that he had not revealed.

The hidden truth was the real reason why he became a huge tycoon.

Anecdotes from the Chicken Soup for the Soul were no doubt interesting and make good stories. They were, at the end of the day, delicious, but works of fiction. Taking them as they are would sabotage oneself, as one would have taken poison to quench his thirst.

You’d be a fool if you believed it.

Huo Shaoheng sat in front of his computer and spent the whole night checking. He remained energetic until dawn the next day.

After he sent the information he had found to Gu Nianzhi, Huo Shaoheng went to the bathroom to wash his face. He would next go to Gu Nianzhi’s apartment to make breakfast for her.

It was only seven in the morning now, and Gu Nianzhi was still asleep.

Lu Jin had returned to his apartment but also hadn’t woken up yet.

However, by the time Huo Shaoheng finished making breakfast, Lu Jin was already stirred awake by the aroma of breakfast.

Sitting down with his eyes closed in the dining room, Lu Jin inhaled deeply and said, “… this porridge is really good. It tastes exactly like Boss Lu’s.”

Huo Shaoheng, “…”

He wondered if he should put some salt in Lu Jin’s porridge?

He shrugged away the fleeting thought before sending the porridge bowl over. There were also two small dishes and a plate of tofu buns.

Gu Nianzhi’s breakfast usually was just a glass of milk in the morning with a toast and sunny-side up.

Huo Shaoheng handily made the breakfast that she is used to,

Gu Nianzhi rubbed her eyes and opened the bedroom door. She was taken aback by the familiar aroma.

She released her hand and saw Huo Shaoheng standing in front of her. He was expressionless but appeared to be relaxed.

He reached out and caressed her head. “Would you have breakfast, or wash up first?”

Gu Nianzhi said subconsciously, “Have breakfast first, then wash up.”

“Okay.” Huo Shaoheng released his hand and smiled. He turned sideways. “Remember to eat the egg yolk.”

Gu Nianzhi did not like egg yolk, especially the runny yoke in sunny side ups.

In the past, she would secretly pick them out for Brother Xiong or little Brother Ze.

Gu Nianzhi, “…”

She walked straight to the dining room and sat down. When she saw the familiar breakfast on the plate in front of her, she took a deep breath and felt a lump in her throat.

She really wanted to go back to that world…

The father and daughter finished their sumptuous breakfast without saying a word. They had a pleasant sleep and it turned out the mood that morning was great.

Gu Nianzhi sat for a while and went to the bathroom to wash up. When she came back, Huo Shaoheng had already cleared the dining table and was sitting in the living room talking to Lu Jin.

“… Uncle Lu, do you know Qin Huichang?” Huo Shaoheng had already told him about Qin Baye’s purchase of the land.

Lu Jin was stunned for a moment and nodded. “Yes, why?”

“Do you know him?”

“No.” Lu Jin was a little embarrassed. “I know about him. It’s on the news.”

Huo Shaoheng, “…”

Gu Nianzhi quickly walked over and sat beside Huo Shaoheng. She asked curiously, “What are you talking about? Who is Qin Baye? Is he from the Qin’s Family?”

The “Qin’s Family” she was referring to was, of course, Qin Yaoguang’s Qin’s family.

Lu Jin smiled. “Of course not. Do you think everyone with the surname Qin in the world is Qin Yaoguang’s relative?”

“I know it’s not, but when you guys talk about it, it seems like it is.” Gu Nianzhi giggled as her gaze swept past the side of Huo Shaoheng’s face.

Huo Shaoheng turned to look at her with a serious expression. He said calmly, “Director Lu found something in Z City yesterday.”

“Huh?” Gu Nianzhi sat up immediately and said nervously, “What did you find?”

“Director Lu found out that the land where the Qin’s family made their fortune was where the headquarters of the Qin’s Private Hospital Group in Z City located. It was bought from a family in C City. He asked me to find out who that family was.”

Huo Shaoheng paused for a moment and said, “I sent the information to your email.”

Gu Nianzhi quickly took out her phone to check her email.

She looked through the transaction records in one glance and was a little disappointed. She asked in confusion, “What does this mean? This is almost exactly the same as the information as what the Qin’s family wrote on their official website… except there’s no seller’s name.”

In other words, the information Huo Shaoheng found proved that the Qin’s family was not lying. Their information on the official website was very accurate.

“So we have to check on the seller.” Huo Shaoheng tapped on his phone screen. “I don’t know if we can still find them.”

Lu Jin lowered his head and said in a muffled voice, “Stop checking. You won’t be able to find them.”

“Huh?!” Gu Nianzhi was even more surprised. “Dad, you know who the sellers are?”

Lu Jin struggled in his heart. He didn’t want to say it, but Lu Yuan and Huo Shaoheng had already uncovered the truths about the family. What difference would it make if he said it or not?

This matter had been a piece of big news at that time, and there were still many reports from the past available now. What was the use of him hiding it all by himself?

“Dad, just tell us! If you don’t tell us, we’ll go find it ourselves. It’s a waste of time. It’s not worth it…” Gu Nianzhi sat next to Lu Jin and hugged his arm, tugging at it vigorously. She acted coquettishly, hoping that Lu Jin would give in and tell her.

Lu Jin smiled bitterly and patted Gu Nianzhi’s hand. “Actually, you can find out even if I don’t tell you. Qin Huichang is Qin Suwen’s father.”

“… it is He Young Master’s mom’s father?! That’s He Young Master’s grandfather?! But isn’t Auntie He an orphan?!” Gu Nianzhi’s already large and glistening eyes further widened. Lu Jin did not dare to look at her. He was afraid that he would be able to see the reflection of his deepest self through her eyes.

He lowered his head and nodded. “Qin Huichang’s couple died in a car accident, leaving only Qin Suwen, who was less than ten years old at that time. They had no other relatives in the country, so Qin Suwen was adopted by the orphanage in C City.”

Gu Nianzhi gasped. “I remember Auntie He was adopted by the Qin’s Orphanage? How did it become an orphanage in C City again?”

Lu Jin whispered, “At the beginning, it was an orphanage in C City, but the director of this orphanage was dishonest. He embezzled much of the orphans’ property and was later found out and sentenced to imprisonment. The orphanage in C City was subsequently closed down.”

“After C City Orphanage closed down, the Qin’s Orphanage opened its first branch in C City and took in all the children from the C City Orphanage.”

“Because of this, the Qin’s Orphanage became renowned throughout the country. Even the Qin’s Private Hospital became a symbol of benevolence.” Lu Jin laughed mockingly.

Gu Nianzhi, “…”

“Qin Huichang and his wife died in a car accident right after they sold their land? Isn’t this too much of a coincidence?” Gu Nianzhi couldn’t help but think there was a conspiracy behind this supposed coincidence.

She had a bad impression of Qin Yaoguang and Qin Baye’s family, she inevitably thought badly of them, in her subconscious.

Lu Jin shook his head and said, “The police investigated this matter. Qin Huichang couple’s car accident had nothing to do with Qin Baye.”

Gu Nianzhi flipped through the information. After a while, she nodded slowly and said, “That makes sense. Qin’s couple accident happened after they sold their land. Qin Baye paid for it with real money.”

“If he wanted to kill the Qin’s couple and seize their land, he could have done it before he bought it. He wouldn’t have had to borrow money from loan sharks then.”

“Yes, that’s not the reason,” Lu Jin said with a straight face. “We did not know about this at that time.”

“Then what was the reason?” Gu Nianzhi remained very curious.

“It was Qin Suwen. She told the police herself that her parents were drunk and had an argument in the car. They argued and fought, causing the car to go out of control.”

It was a DUI.

Gu Nianzhi, “…”

Huo Shaoheng looked up in surprise and asked, “Qin Suwen was in the car at that moment?”

“Yes. She suffered some burns,” Lu Jin tried his best to control his expression, “but her life was not in danger.”

“It was because of this that, the investigation was dropped after a period of time without any new developments.” Lu Jin looked up, his expression had returned to normal.

Gu Nianzhi exchanged gazes with Huo Shaoheng and did not notice the traces of sadness in Lu Jin’s eyes.
