Qin Xue Lan saw that Qin Xiu Zhi had stabilized, so she struck while the iron was hot and said,
"Brother, if you ask me, the reason Si Ye's wings are so strong and he doesn't take your words seriously is because you've given him too much power, both in the Qin family and at Zhuo Sheng."
As soon as she said this, Qin Xiu Zhi frowned and looked at her, remaining silent for a long time.
Yes, it was true. Back then, he had resolutely brought Jiang Jie and Si Yu into the Qin family. To compensate Si Yu, he had handed over the position of CEO of Zhuo Sheng to him shortly after his university graduation.
He himself only held 15% of the shares. Every year, the three of them lived off the dividends from Zhuo Sheng.
He had no great ambitions; he had only planned to pass on these 15% shares to Si Yu after his death, ensuring that mother and son would never have to worry about their living expenses.
Moreover, all the major and minor affairs of the Qin family were decided by Si Ye. He just wanted to settle down and enjoy his twilight years.
He never expected that his son, whom he trusted and valued so highly, would now want to change the Qin family's bloodline, openly defy him, and bring three children of unknown origin into the Qin family.
This was absolutely unacceptable.
If that were to happen, how could he face the ancestors of the Qin family after his death?
Xue Lan was right. He had to plan this carefully and could not let him succeed.
For now, the most important thing was to remain calm, not to get angry easily, and to recuperate first so that he would have the energy to plan.
At 10:30 AM, in villa number 3 of Hua Ban Li, Shen Xi was sitting on the sofa in the bedroom. Just as she hung up a comforting call from Mei Yun, her phone rang again.
Seeing that it was Qin Si Ye, her heart tightened, and she immediately swiped to answer the call.
"Hello? How is it? Did you find out?"
A deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, "Yes. It's been found out. It was a company called Guang Fa Media that first uploaded the news. Currently, all related reports online have been taken down."
Upon hearing this, Shen Xi quickly retreated to the news interface to check. As expected, all reports concerning him and the children had disappeared.
"Guang Fa Media? I've never heard of them before," Shen Xi asked, frowning.
Qin Si Ye replied, "It's a small company that has only emerged in the past two years. They specialize in digging up trending news to increase their visibility and traffic.
However, when Zhao Ze and his team arrived there, the place was already empty. It's still unclear who provided them with the initial information.
But don't worry, I will continue to investigate and find out who the manipulator behind the scenes is."
Fortunately, he acted quickly on this matter; otherwise, it would have had a significant impact on Shen Xi and the children.
Only by finding the person behind the scenes could this matter be completely prevented from happening again.
In fact, Qin Si Ye also had a general idea. Those who could understand the situation of Shen Xi and the children so thoroughly could only be the people at the birthday banquet.
He would arrange for people to investigate them one by one. He refused to believe he couldn't find the instigator.
"Qin Si Ye, I suspect someone," Shen Xi said calmly at this moment.
Since she learned about this matter that morning, she had been sitting in her room thinking about it.
After much deliberation, she felt that one woman was the most suspicious.
She didn't know much about that woman, but she had a wicked mother behind her.
And that person had clearly already regarded her as a thorn in her side.
"Oh? Who?" Qin Si Ye asked with a start.
Shen Xi then explained in detail the incident of meeting Su Yi Xin at the competition venue yesterday.
After listening, Qin Si Ye finally replied after a long pause, "So it was her. I understand. Rest assured at home, I will handle this matter and give you an explanation."
In the evening, in the VIP corridor of An Kang Hospital, Qin Si Ye walked with steady steps to the door of Qin Xiu Zhi's ward and knocked.
A woman's voice immediately came from inside, "Please come in."
Qin Si Ye pushed the door open and walked in. Inside, only Qin Xiu Zhi and Jiang Jie were present.
Upon seeing him, Jiang Jie quickly stood up from her chair and greeted him with a smile, "Si Ye is here."
He gave her a faint glance without any response, instead turning his gaze to the patient on the bed, "Dad, how are you feeling today?"
Qin Xiu Zhi, however, glared at him slightly and turned his head to look at Jiang Jie beside him, "You go out for a moment. I want to speak with him alone."
After Jiang Jie left the room and closed the door, Qin Xiu Zhi spoke sternly, "You still remember to care about my health? I thought you were hoping I would die sooner.
That way, you could unscrupulously bring that woman and those three children into the Qin family."
