Reason triumphed over impulse, pulling Qin Si Ye back.
He decided not to confront her directly, opting instead for a circuitous strategy, advancing bit by bit from the side.
He absolutely could not afford to ruin the little victory he had painstakingly achieved.
After seeing Shen Xi off, Qin Si Ye drove towards Zhuo Sheng.
Upon arriving at his office, he summoned Zhao Ze.
"Have you found Zheng Jing He? Where is he now?"
His intuition told him that the person Shen Xi had mentioned in her phone call with Xie Yi Fei must be Zheng Jing He.
Especially her last sentence, which indicated that she had likely found Zheng Jing He and was preparing to act against him.
"We've found him. He's hiding in a rented apartment in Haicheng, evading his debts," Zhao Ze replied.
"Oh?" Qin Si Ye sat in his chair, looking up at Zhao Ze with a serious expression. "Have you investigated his past?"
"Yes, we have. He used to be the Vice President of Hong Rui. After Miss Yin's father had his accident, he quickly started a new company called Xin Xu.
For the past few years, business was good, but recently, for some reason, his company encountered sudden financial problems, accumulating a lot of debt, and is now on the brink of collapse." Zhao Ze answered cautiously, as this involved Yin Xi.
Upon hearing this, Qin Si Ye's brows furrowed. Recalling the antique that Shen Xi had taken from him some time ago, he finally understood why she was looking for this person.
Could it be that when the children said she had returned to seek revenge, Zheng Jing He was among them?
"Good. I understand. Continue to have people monitor his movements."
As Zhao Ze turned to leave, Qin Si Ye suddenly called out to him, "Don't schedule any business trips for me for the next two weeks, not even domestically."
"But there's a conference in Country G that you need to attend personally. It was confirmed last week, and it's difficult to decline," Zhao Ze turned back abruptly, his expression troubled.
Qin Si Ye pinched his brow, his tone a little irritable. "How is it difficult? Things are possible with effort. Just say that I have some special family matters and cannot attend, and ask the person in charge there to represent me."
"Alright." Zhao Ze had no choice but to comply with his request.
As he left the room, he couldn't help but shake his head in dismay. He always felt that the CEO had been acting a bit off lately. Was everything he was doing related to Miss Yin?
Shen Xi changed into her work clothes and soon began seeing two patients for acupuncture.
After seeing them out, she rotated her sore neck and sat at her desk, pressing the call button.
She heard the intercom outside announce, "Please have Su Cheng Yu come to consultation room number 1."
Hearing this, Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat.
Could it be him?
Recalling what that scumbag had said to her the last time they met at the First People's Hospital, her heart couldn't help but pound a little.
But she also thought it was unlikely. At his age, why would he come to see a TCM doctor?
She mainly treated elderly patients here every day. Perhaps it was someone with the same name.
Just then, there was a knock on the door. Shen Xi calmly replied, "Please come in."
A man walked in, tall and slender, wearing a grey casual suit and a black mask.
Shen Xi only glanced up and recognized him as Su Cheng Yu.
Her heart trembled slightly, but her expression remained calm as she said, "Please have a seat."
Su Cheng Yu took off his mask, slowly sat on the stool beside her, and handed her his registration form. He leaned forward, staring at her with a sinister smile.
Shen Xi didn't even lift her eyelids, entering his information into the computer according to the normal procedure.
"Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
"Is this how you usually treat patients, without even looking at them?" Su Cheng Yu said with a half-smile, his gaze fixed on her face.
Shen Xi quickly glanced up at him, her expression serious as she replied, "Young Master Su, can't you see I'm entering information?"
"Oh, so you do recognize me. I thought you were absent-minded and had already erased me from your memory," Su Cheng Yu's tone was filled with strong acidity.
Shen Xi thought to herself: If possible, I truly wish to erase those three years I knew you. If heaven could take ten years off my life in exchange for never having met you, I would do so willingly.
But she still maintained her composure and asked again, "Where do you feel uncomfortable?"
