Yang Qing pushed aside thoughts of future siblings and children as his mind soon became occupied with another matter, one far more present.
Ren Shu had said he suspected the kidnapper might have acted because of their family. With that in mind, Yang Qing parsed through everything he had uncovered so far to see if there was anything he might have overlooked that supported the theory.
After digging through his memories, his thoughts settled on the enigmatic painting from the Velvet Orchid Teahouse. Of everything he had collected or interacted with so far, it was the only thing he felt might hold ties to the kidnapper. Not to mention, his old friend Senior Bu Zhou had hinted, albeit indirectly, that the painting might warrant a closer look. The shrouding water jade turtle believed it could be heavily linked to Yang Qing's case, though he had not explained in what way. That was understandable, given that the Assistant Dean had made the statement purely from intuition.
