CHAPTER 673: 666 MIYAZAKI SHIN OR SHI JIANHAO

Shi Jianhao?

That little Shi Ban Yu?

Qiao Xingbang interrupted: "Shi Jianhao is dead. Back then, he escaped with the protection of his subordinates. My people found out he fled to the R country, but two months later, he died in an underground clinic there due to severe injuries."

Qiao Zhenbang nodded in agreement as Sisi glared at the two brothers. The person’s already dead, so why bring him up?

Wasting her emotions!

But Tian Xinhua asked, "Are you sure the person who died was Shi Jianhao? Could it be a case of shedding the golden shell?"

Qiao Zhenbang also hesitated. He turned to look at Qiao Xingbang, who touched his head, unsure, "It shouldn’t be, right? My subordinates said the tag on the corpse was Shi Jianhao’s, and the clothing, height, and build all matched, so it should definitely be him."

"Couldn’t you identify him by his appearance? You must have photos of Shi Jianhao, right? Just compare them." Sisi rolled her eyes. Such a simple concept, yet they didn’t know.

Qiao Xingbang spread his hands, "Of course we have photos, but that guy Shi Jianhao ran out of a fire, and his face was burned, so it’s impossible to identify the original appearance. Even if he’s not dead, his face is marred."

He further added, "My subordinates said the deceased’s face was also burnt beyond recognition, so it should indeed be Shi Jianhao."

But Sisi didn’t feel so optimistic.

Disfigured—ruined appearance—blood feud—examine the corpse—hidden in the shadows—change your face—return as a king....

Isn’t this the typical plot of those male protagonist novels from past lives?

Those who seem doomed tend not to die, especially disfigured male leads who are most likely to reappear right around you, even possibly at your side.

Like a snake sticking out its tongue, coldly watching your every move, ready to strike with a fatal blow when you ease up!

Just like Luo Linglong’s car accident!

If not for Xue Yi’s sudden intuition, the third generation of the Qiao family would have been wiped out!

"I have a strong hunch that the person behind all this is Shi Jianhao. He’s definitely not dead." Sisi said with certainty.

Qiao Xingbang still had doubts. How could a dead person come back to life?

Qiao Zhenbang fell into deep thought, apparently having his suspicions too.

"Do you have a photo of Shi Jianhao?" Tian Xinhua suddenly asked.

"Yes, but it’s in Hong Kong. I’ll have someone fax it over." Qiao Zhenbang replied.

The fax was quick. The other side sent over a dozen photos of Shi Jianhao, mostly candid shots. Although a bit blurry, they were still fairly clear.

Tian Xinhua examined the fax closely, and Sisi peered over. The Shi Jianhao in the photos looked handsome, smiling, just like an ordinary college student with nothing particularly remarkable.

Sisi looked for a long time but couldn’t discern anything. This was a man she had definitely never seen before.

Tian Xinhua seemed to have thought of something, ran to the car to get a file bag, and took out a few photos from it.

"Isn’t this Miyazaki Shin? When did you take this, Brother Xin Hua?" Sisi was extremely surprised to see the photo.

"Just these past few days. I had someone tail him and took these photos in the meantime." Tian Xinhua handed the photos over to the Qiao brothers.

Qiao Zhenbang and Qiao Xingbang looked at the photos for a long time, shook their heads in confusion, indicating they did not recognize the man in the photos.

Tian Xinhua said, "This man’s name is Miyazaki Shin, the new husband of Tanaka Baihui, the young miss of the R country’s Daoji Association, said to be highly favored."

Qiao Xingbang said disdainfully, "I’ve heard about this guy. He’s just a coward living off a woman. That Tanaka Baihui could be his mom."

"Miyazaki Shin is definitely not a coward. This person is ruthless, with a very deep mind, able to endure what ordinary people cannot. He should not be underestimated. If possible, I would prefer not to make an enemy of such a viper." Tian Xinhua disagreed.

Qiao Zhenbang realized something and asked, "Xin Hua, are you implying Miyazaki Shin is connected to Shi Jianhao?"

Tian Xinhua nodded approvingly, "That’s also my suspicion. Miyazaki Shin’s background is extremely mysterious. He appeared out of nowhere in the R country five years ago. Where’s he from? What’s his origin? Any family? These basic details are blank and untraceable, like he just popped out of a stone crevice."

He shifted focus and continued, "Moreover, Miyazaki Shin is quite capable, top-notch in martial arts and intelligence. No matter what he does, he wouldn’t do poorly. Yet, he chose the most painful shortcut, attaching himself to Tanaka Baihui to become her third husband—one could say it’s more humiliating than Yue King’s ordeal of tasting feces."

"Just think, Yue King endured tasting feces for the grand cause of restoring his country. But what is Miyazaki Shin doing it for?"

Qiao Xingbang listened, utterly bewildered. Yue King? Tasting feces? What’s all this nonsense?

Qiao Zhenbang, however, was excited: "It shows that Miyazaki Shin bears a deep blood feud; he needs Tanaka Baihui’s power to seek vengeance!"

Tian Xinhua nodded approvingly. Boss Qiao’s two sons, one scholarly, the other martial, were quite interesting.

"The most crucial point is, Miyazaki Shin is hostile to Sisi, or perhaps there’s animosity between him and Sisi. I just haven’t figured out when Sisi offended Miyazaki Shin, considering they are complete strangers." Tian Xinhua stated again.

Sisi understood this time, a light bulb went off in her head, and she excitedly said, "Could Miyazaki Shin be Shi Jianhao?"

Qiao Xingbang was the first to object: "Nonsense, the appearances are completely different, how could he be Shi Ban Yu?"

Sisi disgruntledly smacked his head: "Use your brain! Can’t faces be altered? Now that cosmetic surgery is so advanced, changing a face is a piece of cake. Besides, didn’t you also say Shi Jianhao’s face was burned?"

Prompted by Sisi’s words, Qiao Xingbang began to believe it a little, "Could it really be Shi Jianhao?"

He then violently cursed, "Damn it, I’m taking people to R country now to finish him!"

"Finish, finish, finish? All you think about is killing. He’s now the son-in-law of the Daoji Association; do you think he’ll clean his neck and wait for you to finish him? What if you get finished first?" Sisi couldn’t resist smacking him on the head again, causing Qiao Xingbang to glower at her. Sisi wasn’t the least bit afraid, instead sitting next to Tian Xinhua and making faces at him.

Tian Xinhua hugged Sisi and said to the Qiao brothers, "It isn’t confirmed that Miyazaki Shin is definitely Shi Jianhao, but he’s certainly suspicious. You can start investigating from this angle; I’m sure you’ll uncover something."

Qiao Zhenbang gratefully said, "I understand. Thank you both for coming all this way today; otherwise, Linglong might have been..."

"Amongst family, there’s no need for thank you’s." Tian Xinhua stopped Qiao Zhenbang’s expression of gratitude.

Qiao Zhenbang obliged, though he was deeply moved internally. Previously, he was always wary of He Sisi and even resorted to some unsavory means. In hindsight, it was petty to measure others with his own small-mindedness.

The group continued discussing Miyazaki Shin for a little while longer, then Tian Xinhua left with Sisi back to T City.
