Qin Yuhan slung her bag over her shoulder with one hand and held her phone in the other, chasing after Ye Qinya.
She reached into her bag, finding her keys, wallet, compact mirror, lipstick, and tissues, as well as her phone… which was in her other hand.
With everything accounted for, Qin Yuhan immediately felt relieved and picked up her pace.
Previously, Ye Zhi had briefly spoken with her. They both agreed that Ye Qinya’s boyfriend was not a good match. Therefore, Ye Zhi had instructed her to notify her immediately if Ye Qinya suddenly started acting strangely or doing anything unusual in the future.
The call was quickly connected. Qin Yuhan didn't stop walking as she spoke rapidly, "President Ye? This is Qin Yuhan! Qinya just came to see me and took my employee card. I think something's not right; she's probably heading to Ye Corporation now!"
"I'm on my way," Ye Zhi replied gravely.
The call ended quickly. Qin Yuhan kept moving and headed straight for the Ye Corporation building.
In front of the Ye Corporation building, it seemed someone was trying to force their way in, and the security guards on duty were blocking them.
Qin Yuhan's unease grew. Ye Qinya had even found helpers to distract the security guards. What exactly was she trying to do?
Seeing Ye Qinya slip into the building through a side door from a distance, Qin Yuhan hurried after her.
When she reached the elevators, Qin Yuhan immediately stopped.
She had no idea where Ye Qinya was going, and taking a different elevator would mean losing track of her.
She stared at the numbers jumping on the elevator display. As the numbers stopped, Qin Yuhan's expression changed slightly.
Ye Qinya was going to the Chairman's office on the top floor!
Qin Yuhan immediately pressed the button for the adjacent elevator and took it to the top floor.
She stepped out of the elevator and saw that the office door was ajar. Qin Yuhan pushed it open and walked in.
Hearing the door open, Ye Qinya, who was rummaging through things, was startled and immediately stopped what she was doing. She quickly grabbed a document from the desk and hid it behind her back.
"Qinya, what are you doing?!" Qin Yuhan asked, a bit annoyed, as she stood beside her.
"I-I'm not doing anything…" Ye Qinya said guiltily, her gaze inadvertently drifting to the USB drive already plugged into the computer's host.
Qin Yuhan noticed it and immediately reached out to pull out the USB drive.
Ye Qinya exclaimed and rushed to grab it.
But Qin Yuhan merely feinted, swiftly extending her hand and snatching the document Ye Qinya had hidden.
Ye Qinya realized what was happening and instinctively tried to snatch the document back. However, Qin Yuhan firmly held the document and, with her other hand, quickly unplugged the USB drive.
Ye Qinya looked at her in surprise, "Yuhan, you…"
"You're trying to out-speed someone who plays the piano?" Qin Yuhan raised an eyebrow.
Ye Qinya was a bit annoyed and impulsively reached out to grab.
Qin Yuhan quickly put both items into her bag. Then, she took something out of her bag and threw it, "You want this? Here!"
Seeing a square object fly out, Ye Qinya instinctively ran to pick it up.
But after she ran over, she realized it was just a pack of tissues!
Ye Qinya turned back, feeling somewhat vexed, only to see Qin Yuhan quickly running out of the office and closing the door. Ye Qinya froze. She hurried to follow, but by the time she reached the door and was about to open it, she saw Qin Yuhan outside had already taken a mop from a nearby storage closet and was using it to wedge between the handles of the two doors, jamming them shut.
Ye Qinya was stunned. So… Qin Yuhan had just locked her in the office with a mop?
Qin Yuhan ignored her and immediately went into the adjacent conference room, dialing Ye Zhi's number again.
"President Ye, I've locked Qinya in the Chairman's office," Qin Yuhan said, taking out the document. "I also managed to get a document and a USB drive from her. I feel like something isn't right."
"Can you read me the contents of that document?" Ye Zhi asked.
Qin Yuhan read out the document's contents.
"I understand," Ye Zhi continued. "Thank you, Yuhan. Please keep an eye on her for me. I'll be there shortly."
Qin Yuhan agreed.
She hung up the phone and walked out of the conference room. Ye Qinya had already managed to open the two doors a small crack from the inside. She extended her fingers and slowly nudged the mop.
Qin Yuhan quickly grabbed the mop, but this directly caused the two doors to close tightly, brutally pinching Ye Qinya's hand!
"Ah—!" Ye Qinya screamed in pain. With her fingers connected to her heart, she felt like all ten of her fingers were about to be crushed. The pain made her cry on the spot.
"Qinya, are you alright?" Qin Yuhan panicked. She hurriedly pushed the doors open as wide as possible, allowing Ye Qinya to pull her hand out.
Ye Qinya's tears flowed even more profusely. She looked at her fingers, which were already red like carrots, and sobbed, "Yuhan, why did you lock me up? Let me out…"
"I'm sorry, Qinya, but I can't stand by and watch you do something wrong," Qin Yuhan said resolutely. "The Chairman's office should have a first-aid kit. Look for it and tend to your wounds first."
"Yuhan, let me explain, this is all a misunderstanding!" Ye Qinya said hastily. "I was just trying to help Ye Corporation, to help my father…"
"Qinya, I don't think anything that requires sneakiness and ransacking is considered helping," Qin Yuhan said sternly.
Ye Qinya was speechless.
"Don't worry, I've already notified President Ye. She'll be here soon. If I have indeed misunderstood you, I will apologize. At that time, you can do whatever you want with me," Qin Yuhan said sincerely.
Ye Qinya became even more flustered. She said urgently, "Yuhan, let me go quickly, I don't want to see my sister…"
No matter what Ye Qinya said, Qin Yuhan paid no attention. She stood guard at the office door.
Seeing that Qin Yuhan was unyielding, Ye Qinya had no choice but to give up. She found the first-aid kit in Ye Yongxian's office and clumsily applied medicine to her ten fingers.
As soon as she finished applying the medicine, she heard footsteps. Then, she heard Ye Zhi's voice.
Ye Qinya quickly looked towards the door and saw Qin Yuhan handing the document and the USB drive to Ye Zhi.
"President Ye, here you go," Qin Yuhan said.
"Thank you, you've worked hard," Ye Zhi nodded. "You can go back now. I'll handle the rest."
Qin Yuhan hummed in response. She looked back at the office with concern before turning to leave.
Ye Zhi removed the mop wedged in the door handles and pushed the door open.
Ye Qinya proudly lifted her head, looking at Ye Zhi with an expression of extreme grievance, "What do you want to do with me?!"
Ye Zhi looked at her calmly, "Have a seat first. I've already notified Dad. When Dad arrives, we'll settle everything today."
"I'm not afraid, I have a clear conscience!" Ye Qinya declared firmly.
