Chapter 1561: The Thorn in the Throat
"Commander Qin, my savior! How did you get here?" Xiaoshan, seeing Qin Jian arrive, was thrilled, "I owe you so much during the earthquake. My wife gave birth later, and both mother and child are safe! Come in and have some wedding candy..."
"First, congratulations on becoming a father!" Qin Jian was also relieved to hear this news; saving their family indeed took considerable effort. "Xiaoshan, do you still remember what I told you before?"
"I remember, remember... You said that the true owner of the bracelet has been searching for it. My grandmother is also waiting, please come inside, if we’re any later, I’m afraid..."
"I’m afraid it might be too late."
"Alright." Qin Jian nodded at Lin Qiushu, signaling her to go ahead.
"So, shall we not go in then? Perhaps, let’s stroll near the mountainside, and when Qiushu has news, we can leave."
"Alright. I’ll follow your suggestion."
Inside, the lighting was dim.
On the bed, an old woman lay, about the same age as Lin Qiushu’s grandmother.
Lin Qiushu gently walked over, sat beside her bed, looked down at her and softly said, "Grandma! My name is Lin Qiushu! I am the person you’ve been waiting for, that bracelet was lost by my grandmother years ago. Can you tell me how you got the bracelet?"
Jiu Xia struggled to turn her head, looked at Lin Qiushu with cloudy eyes, and said, "I haven’t done many wrongs in my life. But there’s one thing that has always bothered me, like a thorn stuck in my throat that I can neither swallow nor cough up."
