The three soon arrived at Qin Wentao’s home. Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun were just about to leave, so Liu Xiaofan immediately walked up and presented his warrant card as he blocked their way.
“Excuse me, Madam Qin, we have a few questions.”
“What questions?” Qin Wentao stood in front of his wife and asked warily,
“Mr. and Mrs. Qin, please cooperate with us for an interrogation.” Liu Xiaofan politely waved the warrant card in his hand.
Dong Yueyun gestured for Qin Wentao to keep quiet, thereafter she turned toward Liu Xiaofan and asked, “Officer Liu, you may interrogate us, but I wish to meet Wanqing first.”
“We just interrogated Miss Dong, and we’re here exactly because of what she said.”
“What do you mean?”
Liu Xiaofan scanned their surroundings to confirm that there were no outsiders before continuing, “You still remember that ring you gave to Miss Dong, right? It’s the ring worn by th
The three of them followed Dong Yueyun and Qin Wentao into the study room, which was on the east wing of the first floor.Having dismissed the servants from the study, Dong Yueyun closed the door.Presently, Fan Lifeng staked out a seat and took out his pen and journal, waiting to jot down important notes.Meanwhile, Yan Zihao pointed at the seat next to Fan Lifeng, indicating for Liu Xiaofan to take it up. However, the latter merely waved his hand and said, “I’m fine with standing, so you can take the seat if you’d like.” With that, he glanced over at Dong Yueyun and gestured for her to come into the study.Qin Wentao, on the other hand, was clueless as to what his wife might say, and he remained standing as he turned to give her a look of askance, waiting for her to speak.The woman had a grim look on her face, and after clearing her throat, she asked aloud, “Don’t you all want to know what happened to that di
Thinking that it was just a secretary delivering the documents, Yin Anran didn’t even raise her head to look. “Just leave it there.” She sounded rather lethargic.“Miss Yin.”Hearing Bian Zijun’s voice, Yin Anran straightened up and immediately turned her gaze toward the door. She was instantly disappointed to see Bian Zijun alone, but she still carried anticipation in her voice as she asked, “Were you looking for me?”Bian Zijun nodded and took a seat in front of her.*Meanwhile, Liu Xiaofan and company rushed to Qing Tian Group in a panic and knocked on the door leading to Yin Anran’s office.“Greetings, Miss Yin. Pardon the intrusion.” Liu Xiaofan entered the office with Fan Lifeng and Yan Zihao behind.“Greetings, Officer Liu.” Yin Anran was surprised as she stood up in welcome. “Were you looking for me?”“Yes,” Liu Xiaofan answered as he walked over. “I want to confir
“Ouch!”When Qin Jinhuan reflexively reached out to grab her, he recognized the female voice. “Anran?”“Jinhuan, it’s me!” Yin Anran clutched at his sleeve and said in panic.“What happened?”“Officer Liu just met with me to ask about Wanqing’s ring! That’s when I...”“I’m going to visit Yu at the hospital,” he coolly interrupted and headed out.“Hey! Jinhuan! Jin—” Upon seeing Bian Zijun walking out of the office, she decided to block him since she failed to stop Qin Jinhuan. “It turns out that Dong Wanqing’s ring was not...”When she realized that Bian Zijun was as calm as Qin Jinhuan, she immediately understood the hint and asked them, “Did you both already know about the ring?”Bian Zijun gave her a light nod before he hurried after Qin Jinhuan, leaving Yin Anran staring at his back with a conflicted gaze.Only Bian Zijun and Qin Jinhuan were taking the pri
“Slow down!” Qin Jinhuan grabbed Mu Yu. He wanted to push her back onto the bed, but he was afraid of hurting her. Hence, he could only stand in front of the woman instead. As it turned out, the person coming in was Xin Yihan. It was understandable that Qin Jinhuan was displeased when he saw Mu Yu looking so happy, even though Yin Xiaotian entered with Xin Yihan as well.Yin Xiaotian, who was walking ahead, hurriedly stepped forward and stopped Mu Yu as she and Xin Yihan greeted Qin Jinhuan. “Don’t get out of bed! Be careful not to hurt your wound!” “Don’t worry, I’m fine.” Mu Yu secretly poked Qin Jinhuan with her fingertip as he stood there and kept silent. Then, she bypassed him and said to Yin Xiaotian, “What brings you here, Xiaotian? You just had surgery, so you shouldn’t be moving about!”“I’m recovering well. You, on the other hand…” Yin Xiaotian smiled as she let Qin Jinhuan help her to her seat. Then, she looked at Mu Yu with
“What’s the urgent matter?” Mu Yu asked while picking up the cell phone.“He didn’t say.”Mu Yu instantly stopped looking at Qin Jinhuan. Then, she pricked up her ears and listened to the receiver while asking softly, “Are you asking for me, Chief Rong?”“Help me, Yu.” Rong Jian’s voice sounded somewhat hoarse and fretful, causing Mu Yu’s heart to clench at once. She asked, “Did something happen again?”“No, no, no, it’s not a public matter. It’s my personal matter. Rubing is giving me the cold shoulder.”“I see.” Only then was Mu Yu relieved a little. “Did you come to the hospital to see Madam Feng?”“No, I didn’t. Wasn’t I drunk? I slept like a log, and I wouldn’t have known when I would wake up had Xiaofan not come over and looked for me. When I got up, I saw a few missed calls from Rubing on my cell phone; I called her back, but she didn’t answer any of my calls. Since I was worried, I called Yi
“Boss…” Weng Yun and Cheng Xiang looked at Qin Jinhuan with troubled expressions after entering the ward as well. Qin Jinhuan waved at them. After they went out, he turned to Qin Wentao and Dong Yueyun with a frosty expression. His voice was comparable to a huge ice block in an ice cellar as he asked, “What are you two doing here?”However, Qin Wentao looked even frostier than Qin Jinhuan, and he reproached in a voice louder than the latter’s by saying, “What the hell do you want to do, Qin Jinhuan?!”“Wentao!” Dong Yueyun gently tugged at the older man. “We’re a family, so keep clam while you’re talking.” Then, she expressed her concern for Mu Yu in a kind and pleasant way. “Are you recovering well, Yu?”Mu Yu was about to answer her when Qin Jinhuan spoke first with a snort. “You’re very disappointed to see her recovering so well, aren’t you?”“How dare you talk to her like this?” Qin Wentao was extremely ann
Thud! Qin Jinhuan plonked the bowl and chopsticks on the table, but he didn’t say anything or look up. Instead, he merely pressed his lips together and stared at the bowl in front of him. On the contrary, Mu Yu was so shocked that she lost her composure. As she couldn’t believe her ears, she straightened up and exclaimed, “Are you crazy? Xi is your daughter! She’s your biological daughter! How could you threaten someone else using your own daughter’s life?!”“I’d rather not have such a daughter who only sides with outsiders instead of her own!” There was no trace of fatherliness in Qin Wentao’s eyes when he mentioned Qin Chengxi. Instead, they were bloodshot and filled with frenzy. “I’ll only ask you this, Qin Jinhuan—will you do what I said?”Everyone’s gazes instantly gathered on Qin Jinhuan, but he didn’t even bat an eyelid. Instead, he looked completely unruffled as he held up his rice bowl, grabbed his chopsticks, picked up a piece of vegetable,
Qin Jinhuan didn’t come back until the next afternoon. When she saw him coming back, Mu Yu, who had gotten anxious while waiting, got up and asked him about Qin Chengxi’s condition.“Xi is fine,” Qin Jinhuan replied in a seemingly casual manner as he helped her lie down.“Did you agree to Qin Wentao’s demands, or did you solve the problem using other means?”“Grandpa took care of this matter, and I merely sent Xi to the Shang Family.”Mu Yu was shocked. “Did you tell Grandpa about this?!”“Qin Wentao is his son, so it’s only natural for him to solve the issue.”“But with Grandpa’s health, how could he possibly take it? Is he fine for now?”“He’s totally fine. What did you eat for lunch, and how much did you eat?”“Didn’t Qin Wentao threaten Grandpa using Xi’s life?”Qin Jinhuan sneered at once. “Do you think Grandpa would’ve given him the money if he didn’t thr
