374. Chapter 374: I can be certain, the person they are looking for is

She actually figured it out.

Xiao Jin liked the feeling of being with Qiao Sheng, and he didn't want to give it up.

"You're not even sure, yet you say that to me? I'm not someone who would just let it go so easily; if I were willing to settle, I would have married long ago."

Qiao Sheng really didn't expect him to like her this much.

She wanted to say, what if I were already married?

But after thinking, she still didn't say it.

She came to her senses.

Qiao Sheng looked at Xiao Jin and said, "You trust me this much? Aren't you afraid I'll deceive you again?"

Xiao Jin spoke frankly: "I believe you didn't deceive me this time."

Without waiting for Qiao Sheng to say anything.

Xiao Jin opened his mouth and said: "I'll go investigate those people you mentioned."

Upon hearing that.

Qiao Sheng spoke up: "Xiao Jin, this is too much trouble for you; wait until my foot heals, then I'll go investigate myself."

"I'm happy to."

Xiao Jin still intended to go investigate.

Qiao Sheng couldn't argue with him, so she could only urge him to be careful, after all she herself didn't know what was going on.

Xiao Jin wouldn't have known if he hadn't investigated; upon checking, he noticed that there were many more people on the surrounding mountains and roads than before, some of whom were clearly looking for something.

He suspected they were looking for Qiao Sheng, so he secretly observed them.

He confirmed they were indeed looking for Qiao Sheng.

Xiao Jin quickly returned home.

As soon as he returned.

Xiao Jin then told Qiao Sheng: "I heard them asking around about you; from their descriptions, I can be certain that the person they're looking for is you."

If she were really an ordinary person, how could so many people be looking for her?

After thinking for a while.

Qiao Sheng decided to temporarily go nowhere, wait for them to leave, then see a doctor to have herself properly examined.

Before.

Xiao Jin took her to see a doctor, focusing only on her foot, and didn't think to have him take her pulse.

Another month passed.

Only then did those people looking for her leave.

They had left, but unsure if they had gone far, Qiao Sheng disguised herself and went with Xiao Jin to town to see a doctor for herself.

The doctor couldn't tell why Qiao Sheng had lost her memory, but could be certain it wasn't due to external injury.

In other words.

Jing Tao and them were lying.

Seeing several doctors was all like that.

Xiao Jin proposed: "How about this—we go directly to ask them? It's not convenient to act in broad daylight, so I'll take you to find them at night."

Qiao Sheng asked him: "Xiao Jin, you're helping me so much; aren't you afraid I might have someone I like, or even a husband?"

"I'm afraid, but if I don't get to the bottom of it, you won't accept me."

Xiao Jin bluntly said it was just a gamble.

He was betting that Qiao Sheng had no one she liked, and that she wasn't married.

Thus.

Then he would have a chance, wouldn't he?

Qiao Sheng didn't know what to say for a moment.

At night.

In the deep of night when all was quiet.

Xiao Jin brought Qiao Sheng to the vicinity of Jing Tao's home, worried that there might be ambushes nearby, so he didn't let her go out and first strolled around their house alone.

Not long after.

Xiao Jin then confirmed that there were people lying in ambush near their house.

He took out the wine flask he carried, started drinking, and hummed a little tune while doing so.

Although he didn't say anything while walking, his unusual behavior already explained everything.

Qiao Sheng hid herself even more thoroughly.

After walking a while, Xiao Jin noticed someone following him, so he didn't go to Qiao Sheng, instead turned and went elsewhere, then pretended to be drunk and collapsed on the ground.

After the person following him had walked away.

Xiao Jin got up, staggered, and continued walking.

He walked a distance.

He made sure there was really no problem.

Only then did Xiao Jin go to fetch Qiao Sheng.
