Xie Yifei looked equally surprised, "Could it be that Qin Si Ye deliberately prevented the inspection authorities from contacting you to protect you?"
Hearing this, Shen Xi suddenly remembered that Qin Si Ye had indeed asked her some related questions in her study that day. Could it really be him?
"That's impossible, isn't it?" Shen Xi deliberately showed a look of surprise on her face.
"What's impossible? I feel like Qin Si Ye must be behind this."
Xie Yifei paused for a moment and shared everything she knew.
"I have a friend who works in the court. According to what I asked her, after Lu Yushan arrived at the detention center, her mental state was fluctuating between being dazed and agitated. The Lu family specifically had someone test her and she was diagnosed with Grade 2 mental illness.
Her father pulled a lot of strings, saying that she had already been punished and wanted to get her bailed out to go abroad for treatment.
Initially, the court agreed. Later, Qin Si Ye personally went to the court and was very firm, absolutely refusing bail.
Afterwards, he hired lawyers to mediate, and only then did Qin Si Ye agree to have Lu Yushan released on bail, but she could only receive treatment at a mental hospital in K City."
As soon as she finished speaking, Shen Xi was shocked. She hadn't expected Qin Si Ye to have done so much behind the scenes in just one week.
No wonder she hardly saw him every night when she went to give her grandmother acupuncture, and he only appeared last night.
Seeing that Shen Xi had been silent, Xie Yifei continued, "My friend also said that for the harm Lu Yushan suffered from the pill you gave Liu Ying, you should also bear some responsibility.
But Qin Si Ye had lawyers suppress it, saying that he was at the scene at the time and that you were acting entirely in self-defense."
Hearing this, Shen Xi lowered her head thoughtfully. So he had secretly done so much for her. Why didn't he tell her last night?
Was he afraid she would blame him for helping?
"Xi Xi, why are you always spacing out? Did you hear what I was saying?" Xie Yifei stopped again, looking at her.
"Huh? I was listening," Shen Xi quickly snapped back to reality and asked, "What about Liu Ying?"
Xie Yifei replied with a smile, "Liu Ying had it worse. She was sentenced to 8 years in prison with multiple charges combined, and all her assets were confiscated. Part of it was to be compensated to consumers, and part of it was for Lu Yushan's medical treatment."
"Oh." After hearing her words, Shen Xi responded with a simple "Oh."
"Xi Xi, what's wrong? Why do I think your state is not right? Are you not satisfied with this verdict?" Xie Yifei asked curiously.
She couldn't understand why Shen Xi was so distracted and so calm throughout the conversation, with no excitement at all, upon hearing such satisfying news.
At this moment, they had reached the leisure activity area.
Shen Xi glanced at the soccer field. Jian Fan was playing soccer with the children. She gently tugged Xie Yifei's arm and walked towards the adjacent badminton court.
"No, I'm not dissatisfied. Let's go play. We're good."
However, during the game, Shen Xi still spaced out from time to time, making some careless mistakes. She picked up the ball far more often than usual.
The words Qin Si Ye had spoken to her in the past few days kept echoing in her ears.
"Xi Xi, what's wrong with you today? Your state is so bad, you can't even beat me?" Xie Yifei shouted from the other side, suddenly hitting a ball towards her.
"Ah?" Shen Xi was startled, and the shuttlecock flew over her head.
She smiled awkwardly, quickly picked up the ball on the ground, shook her ponytail forcefully, and shouted, "Again! Yifei, catch this."
The two were focused, playing back and forth, finally exchanging a good rally.
At this moment, from the adjacent soccer field, three excited voices suddenly rang out, "Uncle Qin, Great Grandma."
Shen Xi's heart skipped a beat. She looked intently and saw Qin Si Ye supporting Xu Zhilan as they slowly walked towards them.
As a result, Shen Xi didn't even look at the ball Xie Yifei hit and sent it directly onto Xie Yifei's nose.
"Ah," Shen Xi exclaimed, reaching up to touch her nose. Seeing this, Xie Yifei quickly ran over to her.
"How is it? Where did it hit?"
"It's nothing." Shen Xi gave her a wry smile and immediately guessed what she would say next.
As expected, Xie Yifei smiled and teased, "Don't tell me you got distracted by a handsome guy?"
