Chapter 145: You Can Take Over Qin Jinhai’s Assets
Fu Bing perked up, listening intently.
Wu Shi shifted his gaze away from her face with restraint. "I remember you once acted in a historical drama, which featured the custom of drowning the eldest daughter to ensure the prosperity of the family."
Fu Bing nodded. "Is the Qin Family also involved with this custom?"
"Not just the Qin Family. The prominent families you see actually have blood relatives who mysteriously disappear, usually female infants. The more tragically the female infants die, the more prosperous the family becomes."
Fu Bing couldn’t agree. "Do these people really believe that?"
"In a prominent family, they lack nothing in terms of material wealth, status, adoration, and privileges. They can move unobstructed within certain rules. After enjoying all these, who would want to lose them?"
"There are no female infants in this generation of the Qin Family, so did Qin Jinhai take on this role?" Fu Bing asked, a chill running down her spine.
"As far as I know, Qin Jinhai was sent away at a young age, purportedly due to his poor health. In reality, he was thrown into the deep mountains to see if he would survive. If he did, they hired mercenaries fresh from the battlefield to teach him martial arts and how to kill."
"Kill?"
"Yes, kill the Qin Family’s rivals or threats."
Fu Bing pursed her lips and remained silent.
She had felt it before—the Qin Family was pushing all their evils onto Qin Jinhai. If the Qin Family became unwilling or unable to cover for him anymore, what awaited Qin Jinhai was death. An irredeemable death at that!
