Qiu Tong continued softly, “Daddy, a child from a distant relative came to seek refuge with me.”

“Qiu Xingyuan and Qiu Xingqiao like him a lot. He is safe with us. Don’t worry.”

Qiu Tong dipped her finger in some water and traced the word “Ye” on the table at a spot where the cameras couldn’t see.

Qiu Rong quickly guessed what she meant. He was so agitated that tears welled up in the corners of his eyes. He said in a choked voice, “Okay, take care of him for me!”

Shao An was standing guard outside. Qiu Tong looked back at him and quietly frowned.

The warden of S City was personally picked by Jin Yang and could be considered a trusted aide.

Even though he was short-sighted when it came to handling many things, he was trustworthy and they did not need to be so guarded against him.

However, Qiu Tong still felt uneasy. There were many prison guards in the prison, and it was unknown if their backgrounds were clean. They couldn’t make any mistakes now. The slightest carelessness would result in an irreversible mistake.

The clock on the wall ticked as Qiu Tong took out two bags of powder and syringes and stuffed them into his palm.

“Qiu Xingyuan recently developed this drug. You should be able to discern the effects. Keep it close to you!”

Qiu Rong narrowed his eyes and understood what she was worried about. He smiled lovingly and patted her shoulder.

The relationship between the father and daughter was gradually growing closer.

It was time to end the visit. The prison guard helped Qiu Rong stand up and sent him back to the cell. In handcuffs and ankle cuffs, Qiu Rong looked back at her from time to time as he dragged his heavy feet. He raised his arm to signal her to leave quickly.

Tears glistened in her eyes. Just as she was about to stand up and leave, she subconsciously felt that something was wrong.

Across the long corridor, Qiu Tong stared at the prison guard beside Qiu Rong for a long time. His back view and actions seemed familiar…

…

Outside the prison, Qiu Tong and Shao An drove off. A figure walked out of the shade and sent the photos taken secretly to the capital.

Chen Jia took off her sunglasses and a mask that covered half of her face. She dialed Jin Tao’s number. “Sir, Qiu Tong talked to Qiu Rong in the S City prison for half an hour. I’ll think of a way to get the surveillance cameras in the visitor room and figure out her motives.”

Jin Tao sat in the study, tapping the mouse as he flipped through several photos from different angles.

He said in an emotionless tone, “You don’t have to worry about the prison. Continue to cause trouble for Qiu Tong according to the plan. No matter how simple the trick is, as long as it can mess up her plans and affect her, it’s enough.”

“I’ll let you return to the capital once this matter is settled. Wait for my news and don’t act rashly.”

Chen Jia was a little confused, but she agreed to carry out Jin Tao’s orders.

At the old residence in the capital, Jin Tao threw the photos into the bottom drawer of a table. “I didn’t expect them to connect all the clues together. They actually found the prison so quickly?” He played with the pen in his hand and jabbed his temples with his fingertips, a playful smile appearing in his eyes.

Half an hour later, in the prison lounge in S City, a man in a prison guard uniform received a call. He quietly went out to answer it.

Jin Tao informed him coldly, “Do it tonight. Don’t be too ruthless. Leave him alive.”

The prison guard asked curiously, “Sir, his daughter is already thinking of a way to bail him out. If he leaves the prison, it will be very unfavorable for us. Why don’t we take the opportunity to kill him and cut off any future troubles?”

Jin Tao was silent for a moment on the other end of the line. His voice was authoritative. “Just follow my orders!”

“Only by creating an opportunity for Qiu Tong to bring him out will we have a chance to obtain the information for the second half of the modification plan.”

“Qiu Rong can help us perfect the drug. What do you know?! Don’t ruin my plan, understand?!”

Anger and killing intent flashed across Jin Tao’s eyes. The prison guard trembled as he answered, “Yes, I understand.”

Qiu Rong hid in a corner of the cell as he analyzed the drug Qiu Tong had given him. He sniffed twice and a gratified smile appeared on his face. It seemed like Qiu Xingyuan’s chemistry expertise had reached a new level. He was indeed his grandson!

Qiu Rong quietly dissolved the powdered drug that could paralyze one’s limbs into the syringe. He hid it in his sleeve and laid in bed.

On the other side, Qiu Tong had returned to the villa to prepare dinner for the children.

As she held the sharp kitchen knife, her mind wandered for some reason. She accidentally cut her finger and bled a lot.

Jin Yang was worried about her and asked her to rest in the living room. Qiu Tong wanted to pour some warm water for Qiu Xingyu, but she was too distracted and didn’t hold the cup properly. The cup shattered on the ground…

As she stared at the glass shards all over the ground, her heart felt as if it was being tugged at and she couldn’t breathe.

She had an ominous feeling. Jin Yang hugged her and patted her back gently to comfort her.

In the next second, an ear-piercing ringtone sounded in the villa. Qiu Tong looked at the caller ID.. It was from the prison. She stood up abruptly…
