Rebirth: Pampered Wife’S Counterattack

Chapter 664: Cardiac Arrest

Huang Zhishu nodded. She had been looking forward to such a future for a long time.

She then thought of something and spoke up in concern. “Will they find any problems related to Hao Changsheng?” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

“Mom, don’t worry about the way I handle matters.” A hint of viciousness flashed past Bai Jingrou’s eyes. “There’s no way they’ll find any clues leading back to us.”

“That’s good.”

…

The next day, Bai Qinghao and Bai Chongshan sat down for a chess match in the Bai family’s old mansion’s yard.

Fang Xinxin brought another chair over to sit by their side. “Both of you are really skilled. You’ve had almost six matches yet it isn’t clear who the winner is.”

Bai Chongshan asked her. “Between Qinghao and I, who appears to be more skilled?”

Fang Xinxin tapped on her chin. “Grandfather, would you prefer to listen to the truth or to lies?”

“Of course it’s the truth.” Bai Chongshan put on a stern expression. “I’m already an old man. I have no interest in words that go around the circle.”

“Alright then.” Fang Xinxin could only speak truthfully. “Bai Qinghao’s skills are slightly above yours. However, he is a junior and he is worried about your health. Thus, he has been giving in to you. Still, he doesn’t like being at a disadvantage. Thus every single match has ended in a draw.”

“Oh?” Bai Chongshan looked at her in surprise. “You actually observed us this clearly? Xinxin, little girl, you’re not too bad yourself.”

“I’m Bai Qinghao’s wife.” She smiled. “With such a smart and capable husband, I can’t be too foolish myself.”

“Good, good!” Bai Chongshan responded back with a smile. “In fact, I’ve always known that Qinghao is especially meticulous. Although I knew that he has been in control of our chess contests, I’ve still only been able to move my pieces as he intended them to.”

This was the reason why his grandson performed so outstandingly in both chess and his career despite his young age.

Bai Qinghao raised his brows. “Why do you enjoy the matches so much if you know you won’t be able to defeat me?”

“I’m slowly putting in the effort and working hard so that I can eventually defeat you.” A hint of grievance and helplessness appeared on Bai Chongshan’s wrinkled features. “It’s a pity that your skills have only been improving in the past ten years. No matter how hard I work, I’ll never be able to keep up with the pace of you young people.”

“Grandfather, you have to understand that this is all thanks to your outstanding bloodline. Bai Qinghao took after your capability and therefore became this intelligent,” Fang Xinxin flattered him.

Bai Chongshan nodded and smiled. “I enjoy hearing those words.”

At this moment, Tong Yu approached them and respectfully began speaking. “Elder, Boss, Miss Fang, the cause behind Hao Changsheng’s death has been found. He died of a cardiac arrest.”

Bai Chongshan was surprised. “He had a heart disease? I’ve never heard of this.”

“He dids.” Tong Yu reported. “According to the forensic investigator, he had been controlling his symptoms with medication while he was alive.”

“Did he consume any other medication?” Bai Qinghao questioned.

Tong Yu shook his head. “He died abruptly because of cardiac arrest.”

Bai Qinghao frowned. “To think that they didn’t leave a single clue behind. It seems like the instigator is quite capable!”

Bai Chongshan deliberated over this. “Could it be that he really died because of his illness?”

“And he so happened to have attempted to kill you right before that?” Bai Qinghao asked.

Bai Chongshan fell silent and his expression stiffened. He understood that this matter could not be so simple.

Fang Xinxin suspected that Bai Jingrou was behind this. In fact, her entire family was too suspicious.

However, the other party was really cunning and did not leave any clues behind.

“Grandfather, it’s clear what the person’s motives are, based on the series of events that have happened recently.” Fang Xinxin spoke up. “They intend to pin the blame onto me and chase me away.”
