Pregnant After Healing the Alpha

Chapter 179: Chapter 172: The Person Who SavedWas Qiao Jing

Early in the morning, what was he doing looking for Lan Yinyin?

He couldn't possibly be settling scores with Lan Yinyin just because of her, could he?

No sooner had this thought occurred to Qiao Jing than she immediately denied it herself.

It definitely wasn’t.

Initially, when Zhan Qipei was schemed against by Lan Yinyin, first with drugs and then by an ambush in Autumn

Water Village that left him severely injured, he endured it all in order to draw out the person behind the scenes,

so how could he possibly give up just because she said to give up.

While Qiao Jing was thinking this, Lan Yinyin opened the door.

“President Zhan?” Lan Yinyin looked at Zhan Qipei with surprise in her eyes.

She had been neighbors with Zhan Qipei for such a long time, yet Zhan Qipei had never sought her out. Even

when she approached Zhan Qipei, he always gave her the cold shoulder.

Was the sun rising from the west today?

Or could it be that Zhan Qipei had finally succumbed and wanted stenderness with her?

With this thought, delight surged secretly in Lan Yinyin’s heart.

Perfect! Just now, she was worrying about how to climb into Zhan Qipei’s bed, and now a turnaround had

appeared. It was as if heaven was helping her!

Today, she must grasp this once-in-a-lifetopportunity and take the man down in one fell swoop!

“May | cin?” The expressionless depths of Zhan Qipei’s eyes hid a dark and profound gleam.

Lan Yinyin, now completely immersed in her own fantasies, failed to see any hint of his true intentions.

“Of course, I'll get you slippers!” Lan Yinyin enthusiastically welcomed him and, after ushering Zhan Qipei into

the room, a glance from the corner of her eye caught Qiao Jing through the crack in the neighbor’s door.

Lan Yinyin cast a victorious and smug look at Qiao Jing. Aren’t you always so aloof? Always pressing down on

me? Now you can only watch helplessly as your man enters my room, and there's nothing you can do. Is your

heart bleeding, and your eyes tearing up?

Thrilling!

It was too thrilling!

Lan Yinyin deliberately closed the door loudly, but as she turned around, she was kicked in the abdomen by Zhan

Qipei.

“Umph—" Lan Yinyin, in pain and covered in cold sweat, turned pale as paper, clutching her abdomen and slowly

kneeling down.

It took her a good ten seconds or so before she could slightly recover from the excruciating pain, raising her

head and staring at Zhan Qipei with a disbelieving and confused look.

“Why, why?” she asked.

Zhan Qipei stood in front of Lan Yinyin, tall and imposing, with a cold expression and eagle-sharp eyes.

“Tell me, did you do what happened yesterday?” he demanded coldly.

Lan Yinyin’s pupils suddenly dilated. Yesterday's incident? Qiao Jing’s situation—so he cto find her because

of Qiao Jing, suspecting her involvement.

“What are you talking about? | don’t understand,” Lan Yinyin played dumb.

Zhan Qipei narrowed his eyes slightly, the depths of his dark eyes swirling with danger.

“The drug she was poisoned with yesterday and the one you used onbefore are exactly the same. Dare you

say this has nothing to do with you?”

Shocked!

Lan Yinyin’s pupils once again widened a fraction.

He knew? Knew that it was she who drugged him before?

How was that possible? She had been so secretive, how could he have known?

What puzzled Lan Yinyin the most was, if Zhan Qipei had long suspected her, why had he waited until now to

confront her?

“Last time's incident truly has nothing to do with me! | swear! If I'm lying, may | die a terrible death!”

There is a saying that makes sense: if swearing could solve problems, then what's the need for police? That was

the case right now.

“The two consecutive assassination attempts in Autumn Water Village both relate to you all. Tell me, who is the

mastermind behind all this?” Zhan Qipei asked with a cold voice.

Lan Yinyin looked at Zhan Qipei agape, confronting his intelligent gaze that seemed to see through everything.

She panicked, she was shocked.

She underestimated this man!

Yes! She had always underestimated this young master of the Zhan Family!

This man, personally chosen by Zhan Yuanshan as his successor, was also the one against whom Fifth Master

had meticulously planned for years before making his move.

How could such a person be easily played by her?

Confronting Zhan Qipei at this moment, Lan Yinyin knew she couldn't continue to feign ignorance without

consequences.

“When did you discover it?” she asked.

Lan Yinyin didn’t understand; she thought she had hidden it well, without giving herself away. Where did she slip

up and arouse Zhan Qipei’s suspicions?

“From the moment you appeared,” Zhan Qipei replied indifferently.

What?! Lan Yinyin’s face was filled with disbelief.

From the beginning?

He had been suspicious of her from the start?

“How do you know that the person who saved you back then wasn’t me?” Lan Yinyin couldn't help but ask.

Zhan Qipei’s eyes half-closed, “Qiao Jing.”

“What?” She was asking him a question; what did Qiao Jing have to do with it?

Before Lan Yinyin could understand, she heard Zhan Qipei’s voice rise again.

“The person who savedback then was Qiao Jing.”

Shock!!!

Lan Yinyin had never been so astonished in her life.

Her eyes widened, her mouth agape to the extreme.

Suddenly, she understood everything.

No wonder Zhan Qipei was so fond

of Qiao Jing. No wonder sh thayght

she parc yet she

was'$till under a man's control, at the

So this was where the problem lay.

Fifth Master, oh Fifth Master, your plan was so comprehensive, but you didn’t anticipate the critical factor of Qiao

Jing, did you?

“My patience is limited; tell me, who is the mastermind behind you?” Zhan Qipei demanded.

Hearing this, Lan Yinyin's face

revealed a bitter smile, ‘Speaingrout

Lan Yinyin was very clever; she knew well that if she spoke out, with Fifth Master's ruthless methods, she

certainly wouldn't survive.

If she didn’t speak, Zhan Qipei, in order to pry the truth from her, would surely leave her a way out.

Zhan Qipei’s cold gaze met Lan Yinyin's as he began to speak with his thin lips slightly parted, “If | were you, |

would speak. Because—"

Zhan Qipei deliberately paused there, and in those few seconds, Lan Yinyin tensed to an unprecedented level.

Lan Yinyin’s mouth was dry, her eyes widened in terror.

In Lan Yinyin's eyes, Zhan Qipei at that moment had an aura like Hell itself, no less intimidating than Wu Xirui.

An existence just as terrifying!

In the end, Lan Yinyin was taken away by Tang Yan. Qiao Jing’s gaze shifted from the ashen-faced Lan Yinyin back

to Zhan Qipei.

“Did you just expose her identity?” Qiao Jing asked.

“Yes,” Zhan Qipei nodded.

Qiao Jing frowned, “Why? Weren't you going to keep her around to follow the trail and find out the force behind

her?”

As soon as Qiao Jing finished speaking, she met the man’s affectionate gaze.

The man raised his hand, landing it on Qiao Jing’s shoulder, “Because | simply will not allow any potential

dangers to linger around you.”
