Being thoroughly tricked by Caroline, Qin Yunxi cursed his way to the top floor.
"Damn it!"
"Played by a mere woman!"
"5p?"
"What the hell does sending five escorts mean?"
"Do I look like Epstein?!"
"I—"
Qin Yunxi's words got tangled in his rage, rendering him speechless.
Displeased with everything around him, he kicked whatever his long legs could reach as he walked, tables, chairs, ceramic vases—nothing was spared from his destructive rampage.
Rong Jingyang, who had finished his work and was planning to go to bed: "————"
His eagle eyes narrowed slightly as he indifferently looked at his furious friend, "Did I offend you?"
Qin Yunxi was in a foul mood, seeing everyone as an irritant, and paid no mind to Rong Jingyang's somber expression. "Do I look like a rapist? Like a scumbag who plays women without scruples?"
Rong Jingyang nodded without hesitation, "Mhm."
"..." Qin Yunxi perished!
He let out a roar, "I am not!"
Seeing that Rong Jingyang was completely ignoring him, oblivious to his pain and need for companionship, and was heading straight for the bedroom, he strode forward and firmly grabbed the wheelchair's handles, turning Rong Jingyang around. "Drink with me!"
Rong Jingyang: "—"
Then, he pointed at Rong Jingshu, who was attempting to slip away unnoticed, "You, come back, none of you are leaving!"
"We're not going home until we're drunk tonight!"
Rong Jingshu could only force a smile and ask, "Brother Xi, what happened? Who upset you?"
Qin Yunxi gritted his teeth, "That damned woman!"
"She actually took me for a lust-driven scumbag!"
"Isn't that infuriating?"
*Pfft—*
Rong Jingshu couldn't help but burst into laughter, hahaha—
"Master Qin, are you kidding me?
Who in this world doesn't know that you're a master at playing women, riding the wave of success?"
Qin Yunxi threw a left hook at Rong Jingshu, "Are you f*cking laughing?!"
"Do you want to fight?"
"Ah!"
Rong Jingshu dodged in time, retreating several meters as if escaping. With a stern face, he said seriously, "I was wrong, Master Qin, I was wrong."
To match Qin Yunxi's anger, Rong Jingshu thoughtfully offered, "That damned woman is so uncooperative and unappreciative. Should we find a couple of brothers to teach her a lesson?"
Qin Yunxi's anger intensified, "Get lost!"
"Why are you getting worse?"
Rong Jingshu dared not mock Brother Qin any further, lest he truly face the consequences tonight.
He took down the whiskey from the wine cabinet and poured three glasses.
Qin Yunxi downed his in one go, then looked at Rong Jingyang, "You said you weren't coming out to play, why are you here now?"
Hours after the cruise ship had set sail that evening, Qin Yunxi suddenly received news that Rong Jingyang had arrived by helicopter.
He found it a bit puzzling.
"Where's sister-in-law? Not with you?" Qin Yunxi looked around.
He had caused such a commotion earlier, yet no one had come out.
Could Du Ruoxin not be with Rong Jingyang?
Rong Jingyang glanced at him, not satisfying Qin Yunxi's curious questions.
It was Rong Jingshu who explained from the side, "Big Brother is here to help me."
"Help you?" Qin Yunxi turned to look at Rong Jingshu.
Rong Jingshu said, "Yes, a few days ago, a director from our police station committed suicide by jumping off a building."
Qin Yunxi hummed and took another sip of whiskey, listening quietly.
Rong Jingshu continued as he drank, "No one believed she would commit suicide, especially not in such a brutal way."
"The director's family asked us to investigate the matter."
Qin Yunxi chimed in, "What, is there really a hidden story?"
Rong Jingshu neither confirmed nor denied, but he didn't elaborate further, only saying, "The matter is a bit complicated."
He now only hoped that Qin Yunxi was not involved.
However, seeing Brother Xi's angry demeanor just now, he probably had no dealings with that group?
Rong Jingshu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Due to the case being too bizarre and involving too many parties, Rong Jingshu had to ask his elder brother for help.
Because if anything unexpected happened, only his elder brother could stabilize the situation.
"Complicated?" Qin Yunxi glanced at Rong Jingyang.
If the head of the Rong family was dispatched, how could the case be described by just "complicated"?
Qin Yunxi patted Rong Jingshu's shoulder, "If it's inconvenient to talk about, don't. Let's drink."
Men's emotions—all contained within a wine glass!
Qin Yunxi ordered some snacks to go with the drinks. The three men drank and chatted, and before they knew it, it was around two in the morning.
"Zzz—"
A vibration and ringing sound, it was Caroline calling.
Although Qin Yunxi's anger had subsided, at this late hour, why was this hateful woman calling him?
Hang up!
And set it to do not disturb mode.
However, Caroline sent another WeChat voice message.
Qin Yunxi initially didn't want to listen, but with the fire still in his belly, he pressed play.
"Mr. Qin, I'm sorry, I was wrong, please forgive me."
"My friend Du Ruoxin is missing, can you please help me find her?"
"As long as Ruoxin is found, I'll do anything you ask."
"Please..."
"Please..."
Du Ruoxin? Why was Caroline crying?
He reflexively looked at Rong Jingyang.
Rong Jingyang snatched Qin Yunxi's phone and spoke to Caroline via voice call, "What happened? Where is Du Ruoxin missing from!"
