Chapter 1157: Chapter 1156: Unable to Do It Chapter 1157: Chapter 1156: Unable to Do It Wei Qin furrowed his brows in deep thought, his eyes suddenly sharp as they landed on Zhang Fengmei’s face like a hawk. His vision was naturally good, and staring intently at someone allowed him to capture all their subtle expressions.

No, that’s not right!

It wasn’t fear, it was nervousness.

This realization made Wei Qin’s doubts grow larger. Initially, he had only planned to search house by house and had come to Qi Li Town first because it was nearby. But now, he was becoming increasingly interested.

One could say the person’s performance had surpassed his expectations and even surprised him.

“Please come in and sit down. This is a police officer from Imperial City and he’s here to inquire about your situation,” Guan Rufang led the people inside and even managed to chase out the curious neighbors who had followed.

The two parties exchanged pleasantries, and after they had taken their seats, Jiang Dechun asked with a puzzled face, “This… may I ask what you want to inquire about from us?”

Little Wang stepped forward to speak but was stopped by a look from Wei Qin.

“Ahem…” Wei Qin covered his mouth with his hand, coughed softly, and then said, “Hello, my name is Wei Qin, and I am here to take my younger brother back home.”

Boom!

Everyone’s minds exploded on the spot; no one expected Wei Qin to say that. Including Little Wang and others who came along, they were only supposed to inquire about the situation–how did it turn into taking a younger brother back home?

This change was too sudden, right? Could it be that Wei Qin had noticed some clue?

For this, Little Wang had no doubt at all. Wei Qin was very brilliant, far beyond their abilities; it was normal for him to have an important clue.

Guan Rufang instinctively felt that something was amiss and glared at Wei Qin. Although she didn’t understand the implications of his words, she knew they weren’t good.

The person who reacted most was Zhang Fengmei. When she saw Wei Qin for the first time, she had a bad feeling. Because Wei Qin and Jiang Yang looked too alike, especially the eyes. That first look at her had given her the illusion of being seen through.

Zhang Fengmei knew, this day had to come eventually.

The secret hidden in their hearts for over a decade was finally going to be revealed. She had concealed it from her in-laws for many years, and the secret she hid to avoid being pointed at her spine was finally being brought to light by someone today.

Zhang Fengmei looked at Wei Qin with complex eyes.

“What did you say? What do you mean?” Although Jiang Dechun had been in business for over a year, his perspective and temperament had changed from before; he was surprised but not panicking.

He didn’t have a guilty conscience; there was no need to panic.

Jiang Dechun’s composure made Wei Qin regard him highly. He slowly said, “My younger brother was lost under the great bridge due to someone’s plot and was picked up by you. I am here… to see him.”

Wei Qin didn’t insist on taking him back like he had initially mentioned for two main reasons.

First, his brother had been saved and raised by someone else; he had no right to suddenly appear and take him away, which would be outright disrespectful.

The second reason was that he hadn’t yet decided within himself.

In fact, in his heart, he had already treated Jiang Yang as his genuine younger brother. If this younger brother wanted to return, he would naturally provide him with the best of everything. If he did not wish to return, he would not force him and would offer compensation.

As for anything else… he thought he might not be capable. He really couldn’t do it.
