NovelEnglishThat answer surprised Jiang Yao because Lu Xingzhi had just told her a few days before that the only remaining member of the Qian family was lying in a hospital bed, clinging to life with the help of his medicine and doctors.
"You mean Old Master Qian?"

"Is it possible he is confused, believing that the Qian family's destruction has anything to do with Xingzhi and me? Is that why, even if he dies, he wants to drag me down with him? He believes we killed his son, so he wants to kill my child and make me pay in blood so I'd feel his loss as well?"
"Old Master Qian's condition is very bad. He has not been awake for long lately. Furthermore, the hospital stated that he had not seen any outsiders when he was awake. He has always been alone. No one has visited him," Shao Fucheng said. "The monkeys scatter when the tree falls. Furthermore, before the Qian family fell, it dragged many people down, so everyone now wanted to avoid the Qian family. As a result, no relatives or friends have ever visited Old Master Qian in the hospital."
"The hospital did not have a phone, so Old Master Qian would not have a chance to call Sergeant Hu's father," Shao Fucheng said. "So that matter should have nothing to do with him."
"I'm a little confused by what you said."
Jiang Yao rubbed her temples. "Let's start from the beginning. Tell me, how did Sergeant Hu's father have anything to do with the Qian family? Why would he work for the Qian family?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"Sergeant Hu's father was a soldier in the northern military region when he was young. He made a significant mistake during a mission. That mistake almost led to his being court-martialed by the Qian family. Then, the matter was settled. When the accident happened, Sergeant Hu's mother was only a few months pregnant with Sergeant Hu. Their family's situation was also very bad at that time. Sergeant Hu's mother's physical condition was not very good. She had to rely on money to make up for it after she became pregnant. Qian Zhibin paid for Sergeant Hu's father's injury at that time. Only after Qian Zhibin pleaded with Old Master Qian that Qian Zhibin used many of the Qian family's connections to save Sergeant Hu's father.
"Therefore, ever since then, Sergeant Hu's father had always been grateful to Qian Zhibin and the Qian family. Even after he retired from the army, he still remembered the Qian family's kindness to him. If Sergeant Hu's father really went to the military court and was sentenced to prison, the Hu family would probably have dissolved. Perhaps Sergeant Hu might not even exist. At that time, the Qian family not only protected Sergeant Hu's father's future but also protected his family and the birth of his child."
Jiang Yao clicked her tongue. "If that's the case, Sergeant Hu's father is extremely indebted to the Qian family."
If the Qian family had asked Sergeant Hu's father to do something, then it would naturally be very difficult for Sergeant Hu's father to refuse.
"Yes, that is the correct way to describe it because Qian Zhibin relied on Old Master Qian's connections to help Sergeant Hu's father advance. However, Qian Zhibin was a person who would not give up without benefits. Therefore, Qian Zhibin should have plotted against Sergeant Hu's father from the beginning and obtained what he wanted. However, Sergeant Hu's father was an honest person. He might not understand that and simply think that he had met a noble person," Shao Fucheng said. "Unfortunately, that was a long time ago, and we had no way of looking into it."
