Shen Xi felt that Xie Yifei’s words were very accurate.
The last time Lu Yushan narrowly escaped imprisonment, she was sent to a mental hospital for treatment, but only after Qin Si Ye agreed.
Thinking about it, Qin Si Ye must be paying close attention to her as well.
She took out her phone, and after a moment of thought, dialed Qin Si Ye’s number.
“Hello? Xi Xi.” Qin Si Ye’s deep voice quickly replied on the other end.
“Um, the mental hospital caught fire last night, do you know about that?” Shen Xi asked, her expression unchanged.
Qin Si Ye replied, “I know, did you see it too?”
“Mm.” Shen Xi glanced at Xie Yifei, switched to speakerphone, and continued, “I heard one person died, and quite a few were injured.”
She tried her best to maintain a calm tone, not wanting to mention Lu Yushan’s name directly for fear of arousing suspicion from that man.
However, even though she didn’t ask directly, Qin Si Ye seemed to sense her underlying meaning and directly said, “Yes. Lu Yushan is missing, and I’m sending people to look for her everywhere.”
Hearing this, Shen Xi’s brows furrowed, and she exchanged a look with Xie Yifei. “Oh? How could it be such a coincidence?”
“The fire started in her room, it’s very likely she did it intentionally.” Through the phone, Shen Xi and Xie Yifei could both detect the significant anger in Qin Si Ye’s voice.
“Why would she suddenly start a fire at this time? Is there someone waiting for her outside?” Shen Xi’s eyes darted around quickly. “Are her mother and nephew still in K City?”
Now, only the two of them were left of the Lu family.
“No. It seems they also disappeared overnight,” Qin Si Ye replied coldly.
“Oh. The Lu family is finished now, even if she runs away, she won’t be able to make any waves. Look for her if you can, but if not, just let it go.” Shen Xi was very calm internally.
In her opinion, Lu Yushan’s crimes had now increased, and perhaps she did this just for freedom and to escape, and would never dare to appear before her again.
“No. Since she could do something like this, it means she doesn’t have any mental illness at all. She’s been lying to me.” Qin Si Ye was furious. “I must find her, and I will personally send her to prison this time.”
That woman was too insidious and cunning to dare to deceive him so openly. There must be many accomplices involved, and he would expose them one by one.
After hanging up the phone, Xie Yifei looked at Shen Xi in disbelief, “Xi Xi, did Lu Yushan really escape? How could she have such capabilities?”
“This matter is definitely not that simple, it might have been premeditated. However, if she really escaped, she can only be living precariously and probably wouldn’t dare to return to K City,” Shen Xi said thoughtfully as she walked to the window.
Not only would the judicial authorities not let her go, but Qin Si Ye would also set up a net to catch her.
However, her plan to find her and investigate the matter of the necklace was now in vain.
It seemed this matter would have to be tackled through Su Chengyu.
The two of them went downstairs together and drove towards Aidi Pharmaceutical Company.
Having been abroad for a period, many documents had accumulated at the company that required her signature.
She wanted to run the company well and get the new drug to market as soon as possible.
Even though Lu Huai’an had been arrested, and he might implicate those pharmaceutical companies that had harmed her father’s company back then,
their impact shouldn’t be too significant. She wanted to make those companies pay a price through commercial channels.
On the way to the company, Shen Xi called Jian Fan, asking him to not only handle Zheng Jinghe’s matters but also to keep an eye on Su Chengyu’s whereabouts for her in the next few days.
Upon arriving at the company, Xie Yifei presented Shen Xi with the documents she had prepared.
After reviewing them one by one, Shen Xi signed her name, put down her pen, and looked at Xie Yifei with a smile, “See, you’ve done such a great job. And you said you couldn’t do it.”
“Jian Fan taught me all of this.” Xie Yifei smiled and lowered her head, preparing to pick up the documents and leave.
“Wait a moment.” Shen Xi patted her hand. “Did Jian Fan tell you yesterday that I’ve handed over Zheng Jinghe’s company to him to manage?”
“He did.” Xie Yifei stopped what she was doing and looked at Shen Xi earnestly. “I was just about to mention this to you. Isn’t the return you gave him too generous?”
“It’s not too much, it’s what he deserves.” Shen Xi smiled. “I just wanted to ask you, are you planning to help him over there, or continue working here with me?”
“Of course, I’ll stay here.” Xie Yifei replied without hesitation. “Didn’t people say that absence makes the heart grow fonder? I don’t want to be with him all day long.”
“That’s good too. I’m about to adjust the work arrangements, and this side also needs people.” Shen Xi told her all the ideas she had been brewing for the past few days.
