672 “AV Shooting Guide” 635: Aphrodite

While waiting for the transaction, Qiao Qiao and Cheng Xiu went back to the farm to meet Uncle Zhou.

Lieutenant Wu was originally not happy for them to leave the camp, but with Chen Yuhua and the three large boxes of goods being held here as ‘hostages’, he readily let them go and told them not to rush and to come back after the matter was done.

His inconsistent attitude made Qiao Qiao wonder if Lieutenant Wu was hoping they wouldn’t come back so he could keep the three boxes of goods to himself.

Chen Yuhua didn’t care. He didn’t seem to worry about being taken advantage of.Although he appears alone, he has the backing of the military department, which is enough to deal with most emergencies, so he doesn’t need to worry too much.

Of course, Qiao Qiao still hopes to go back quickly to avoid long nights and dreams.

The two of them drove back to the Qin family’s farm by familiar routes. The farm looked very desolate at this season, and there were very few people. Fortunately, the old man from last time led the way, and they met Uncle Zhou, the former chief manager of the Qin family, without much trouble.

Uncle Zhou was very surprised to see Qiao Qiao. He only knew that someone was looking for him, but he didn’t know who it was. Qiao Qiao didn’t say his name, so he, who was drinking tea leisurely, stood up in shock when he saw Qiao Qiao.

“Miss Qiao? How did you find this place?” Uncle Zhou immediately stepped aside and said, “Hurry, sit down quickly, I will pour you tea.”

Qiao Qiao quickly declined, wondering how she could let a man over fifty years old serve her.

“No, you belong to the Third Young Master, and you are my future master. I will serve my master as a matter of course.”

Qiao Qiao had no choice but to accept the tea offered by him on pins and needles.

To avoid embarrassment, she got to the point as soon as she put down the tea bowl: “What happened to the Qin family?”

Uncle Zhou paused, his eyes fell on Cheng Xiu next to him, and he hesitated to speak.

“He is my friend and knows Qin Ruicheng. He is not an outsider.”

Uncle Zhou lowered his eyes when he heard this: “Miss Qiao, you’d better leave the Qin family’s affairs alone.”

“What does this mean?”

“The fact that you can find this place means that you already know something, so just listen to me, leave, and don’t come back again.”

Qiao Qiao found it unbelievable and frowned: “Even if you ask me to leave it alone, you have to give a reason, right? The one who is in the Qin family now is not Qin Ruicheng at all. If you still care about your third young master at all, you should tell me the truth!”

Uncle Zhou shook his head: “You are wrong, it is the third young master who is in the Qin family.”

Is that person Qin Ruicheng?

Qiao Qiao was stunned for two seconds and then smiled: “Uncle Zhou, even I can see that there is something wrong, why can’t you? You watched Qin Rui grow up.”

“Yes, so I know, that’s him.”

“If you say that, we can’t continue talking.” Qiao Qiao stood up, “If you must support the current leader of the Qin family, then I can only find a way to save Qin Ruicheng myself.”

Uncle Zhou was silent, Qiao Qiao was extremely disappointed and called Cheng Xiu to leave.

“Miss Qiao, think about it, how can there be two people so similar in the world?” Uncle Zhou’s voice was hoarse. “The third young master has no brothers or sisters. How can there be someone who is exactly the same height and appearance as him?”

Qiao Qiao frowned: “The world is so big, it’s not difficult to find one or two people who look alike. Don’t there also be such programs abroad? Two people who are completely unknown to each other look very similar, like twins. Besides, even if you can’t find such a person, you can still use medical means.”

Uncle Zhou shook his head: “The Qin family is not an ordinary family. You can replace family members with someone who looks similar. How is this possible? The third young master has a monthly physical examination and blood tests are taken from time to time. Even if they look alike, can their physical data be concealed?”

“This… maybe they bribed the doctor, otherwise it wouldn’t make sense. If it’s really Qin Ruicheng, why does he seem to have changed?”

“I can’t explain it, but I think that’s the third young master.”

Cheng Xiu next to him suddenly said: “Are you sure?”

Uncle Zhou nodded.

“Okay, let’s put this question aside for now.” Qiao Qiao felt like his head was spinning, and his mind was in a mess, “Tell me first, what happened to the Qin family after the old lady passed away?”

Uncle Zhou sighed: “Everyone, sit down and I will speak slowly.”

After listening for half an hour, Qiao Qiao finally understood.

“But why did the old lady arrange it like this?” Qiao Qiao simply couldn’t understand. “Let the junior Qin Ruicheng be the head of the family. This… this is not logical. What’s more, Qin Ruicheng——”

Qiao Qiao was embarrassed to use the word “uneducated and unskilled” in front of Uncle Zhou, so he could only say euphemistically: “He is not a businessman at all, let alone be the head of such a large family.”

This is the truth. Qiao Qiao knows very well how much Qin Ruicheng likes to have fun. If the old lady asks Qin Ruicheng to take over the family’s entertainment industry, it would be reasonable. However, most of the Qin family is serious business, and Qin Ruicheng will definitely be annoyed to death by the boring business.

“These are all written in the old lady’s will.” Uncle Zhou said expressionlessly, “The lawyer read it out in front of the whole family.”

“Oh my god.” Qiao Qiao held his forehead, “Isn’t this just pushing Qin Qin out as a target?”

She thought of something and suddenly raised her head: “Wait a minute, doesn’t that fake Qin family become the head of the family now?”

Uncle Zhou: “There are conditions for inheriting the position of head of the family. As for what the conditions are, I can’t say.”

“Then my inference is established.” Qiao Qiao whispered, “In order to prevent him from inheriting the Qin family, someone secretly changed him.”

Uncle Zhou: “…”

“There must be a time limit in the will, right? If Qin Ruicheng fails to meet the conditions within a certain period of time, he will automatically lose his inheritance qualification, right?”

Uncle Zhou remained silent.

Qiao Qiao: “Only in this way can the logic be smooth. So the question now is, where is the real Qin Ruicheng?”

Uncle Zhou: “The third young master is at the Qin family.”

Qiao Qiao didn’t want to argue with Uncle Zhou on this issue. She didn’t believe it was Qin Ruicheng, otherwise she would have washed her hair upside down.

Before leaving, she asked Uncle Zhou what he planned to do in the future.

“I’m old. I have worked hard for the Qin family all my life. It’s time for me to rest.” Uncle Zhou looked at the fields in the distance. “I can no longer interfere with the Qin family’s affairs.”

Qiao Qiao was just about to say that she could help, when Zhou Bo said leisurely: “I’m planning to go to Hawaii. There happens to be a house there. It’s good to go fishing and bask in the sun every day.”

Woohoo, the clown is actually me.

Qiao Qiao thought sadly, she hadn’t been to Hawaii yet, and Uncle Zhou had even prepared a vacation home. Is it possible to earn so much by working for the Qin family?

“Miss Qiao, the third young master will be looking after you from now on.”

Qiao Qiao was stunned for a moment: “I can’t even see him now.”

Uncle Zhou shook his head: “The third young master must have something to hide.”

Is it an unspeakable secret or a guilty conscience?

Naturally, Qiao Qiao didn’t say this. There were some things she had to verify herself.

After bidding farewell to Uncle Zhou, Qiao Qiao and Cheng Xiu prepared to return to the camp.

This trip was not as valuable as she imagined. She thought that finding Uncle Zhou would answer all the questions, but now not only has the problem not been solved, but a lot of mysteries have been involved.

As for Uncle Zhou’s opinion that Qin Ruicheng had not been replaced, Qiao Qiao disagreed. She had seen the fake Qin Ruicheng. He had too many flaws and was definitely the result of plastic surgery.

Withdrawing his gaze from the window, Qiao Qiao looked at Cheng Xiu, who had been driving silently. The man’s face was very handsome. At this time, the setting sun shone in from the car window, coating his face with a golden outline, like a god.

Qiao Qiao thought about it and asked, “What do you think?”

Needless to say, Cheng Xiu knew what she was asking.

She thought Cheng Xiu would have the same view as her, but she didn’t expect the man to give an unexpected answer: “Uncle Zhou may be right.”

“Huh?”

Cheng Xiu braked and stopped on the side of the road. After turning off the engine, he started to turn off his equipment.

First he and Qiao Qiao’s mobile phones, then radio and satellite phones, as well as some hidden communication systems, were all turned off by him one by one.

Qiao Qiao watched all this with her mouth open. She never thought that Cheng Xiu actually had so many communication tools on him!The point is that the two of them have been together for a few weeks and she is done!Complete!not!send!Now!

“Hey, what on earth is this for?”

After Cheng Xiu finished handling everything, he returned his gaze to Qiao Qiao. His expression was very serious, which made his face become unfamiliar and solemn. Qiao Qiao immediately realized that what he was about to say was unusual, so he sat up straight unconsciously.

“I once saw a top-secret file in the military department.” Cheng Xiu said slowly, “It mentioned an overseas ‘Aphrodite’ project.”

“Aphrodite?” Qiao Qiao frowned, “The goddess of beauty in ancient Greek mythology? What does this have to do with Qin Ruicheng?”

Cheng Xiu: “The purpose of this plan is to create ‘human beings’.”

Qiao Qiao’s eyes widened in surprise, and she said incoherently: “Creating humans? How is this possible… Life cannot be synthesized unless cloned -”

She paused suddenly, and the blood seemed to be drained from her limbs: “Could it be…”

“This is just my guess.” Cheng Xiu said solemnly, “I only read one page of that file.”

Qiao Qiao shook his head: “No, it’s impossible… You also said that it was a foreign plan and has nothing to do with us. Besides, Qin Qin is not a big shot…”

Her voice gradually became lower because she realized that Qin Ruicheng was no longer the dandy young master Qin Ruicheng. He was already the designated heir to the Qin family’s business empire, and he was the next emperor.

He has enough value.
