The Fake Daughter Is Not Innocent

Chapter 176: Sending Qiao Zihao Away

Xiao Ying said, “Forget it. Before your mother comes back, you can stay here, but you can’t go near Cheng Yang anymore. When your mother comes back, I’ll send you back.”

With that, Xiao Ying returned to Cheng Yang’s room. Cheng Yang’s breathing was stable on the bed, and it appeared as if nothing was wrong, as if he had only fallen asleep.

The amulet’s voice suddenly sounded. “This was all done by that child.”

Xiao Ying asked, “How did you know?”

The amulet said, “That child is trying to transfer his illness to the destined energy source.”

Xiao Ying asked again, “Then what should we do?”

The amulet’s voice was cold as it said, “Go and kill that child, and the destined energy source will return to normal.”

Xiao Ying was shocked. She had thought that Qiao Zihao was in cahoots with this imposter, but it seemed that he was not. She just did not know if he was a friend or foe.

She hesitated, then pretended to be afraid. “I don’t think that’s a good idea, that would be illegal.”

The amulet said resentfully, “If he doesn’t die, the destined energy source will die. Make your choice.”

Xiao Ying naturally would not do something so crazy, but on the surface, she told the amulet that she would consider it.

Her phone rang.

Xiao Ying took out her phone and saw that it was Qiao Na.

“Xiao Ying, I’m back.”

Xiao Ying hurriedly said, “Are you already in the capital?”

After getting an affirmative answer, she said, “Sister Na, I have something going on now and might not be able to take care of Zihao.”

Qiao Na immediately expressed that she would come and pick him up now.

The amulet immediately clamored, “How can you kill him if you let him go?”

Xiao Ying said, “If he died while under my care, everyone would suspect me, okay?”

The amulet fell silent.

Xiao Ying walked out the door. This time, when facing Qiao Zihao, she had an additional desire to investigate.

What was his identity?

Qiao Zihao was still sitting obediently on the couch. When he heard a noise, he turned around.

Xiao Ying told him that Qiao Na would pick him up in a while.

He did not object. Instead, he asked, “Sister, can I still go to the laboratory to look for you?”

Xiao Ying also wanted to observe him, so she nodded in agreement.

Qiao Zihao smiled and obediently turned to wait for Qiao Na to come knocking.

His obedient look made people feel pity for him. But before she figured out his goal, she remained vigilant.

Not before long, the doorbell rang.

Xiao Ying opened the door. Qiao Na, who was standing outside, surprised her. In just a few days, she had lost a lot of weight and looked very haggard.

She had no intention of making small talk. She smiled and said, “Zihao has caused you trouble recently. I’ll take him away now.”

Xiao Ying told her it was fine. Qiao Zihao took the initiative to walk over and said, “Goodbye, Sister.”

Watching them leave, Xiao Ying felt that this mother-and-son pair had quite a few secrets.

When she returned to her room, she took a look at Cheng Yang. After confirming that he was still not awake, she thought of something else.

Xiao Ying came to the innermost room in the corridor. This room had been locked all along. Last time, she had sneaked in to check but had been caught by Cheng Yang.

She reached out and turned the handle, but this time she wasn’t so lucky. The door was locked.

She searched the entire house but could not find the key. Xiao Ying stood outside the door and thought. There must be a secret about Cheng Yang in this room. Why had he taken such an extreme path in his previous life?

The answer must be in there.

After searching for the key to no avail, Xiao Ying returned to Cheng Yang’s room and reached out to search his body.

Looking at the man who was lying on the bed and letting her do whatever she wanted, Xiao Ying gulped and said silently, “I’m not doing it on purpose.”
