Meng Qi's lips curved slightly.
It must be that Yin Xi had met with misfortune, and Qin Xue Lan had come to report good news to her.
In the morning, with her assistance, Jin Zhan Hao had apprehended that woman. She would surely not have a good end.
From her observation, Jin Zhan Hao had long coveted Yin Xi. How could he easily let go of a catch he already had?
So what if Yin Xi had a child with Qin Si Ye? So what if they lived together?
She refused to believe that Qin Si Ye would still want a used piece of trash that had been with another man.
Meng Qi unhurriedly slid her finger to accept the call, "Hello? Aunt Lan."
Qin Xue Lan's anxious voice immediately came from the other end, "Hello? Qi Qi, something's happened at the Jin family. Do you know about it?"
"What?" Meng Qi straightened up abruptly, "What happened?"
Qin Xue Lan then recounted the news she had heard to her.
"I heard that Jin family's illegitimate son is severely injured. Both his legs were stabbed, and he won't be able to get out of bed for months. Jin Zhan Hao, his mother, and him have all been taken to the police station. Jin Zhen Ting's illness seems to have miraculously recovered overnight, and he's already taken charge of the Jin family affairs again."
"Ah? How could this happen?" Meng Qi's eyes widened, unable to process such a reversal. "Who saved them?"
When Yin Xi and Jin Jing Chen were captured by Jin Zhan Hao early in the morning, she had called Qin Xue Lan to tell her the good news. Therefore, Qin Xue Lan was also very clear about the ins and outs of the matter.
"Who else could it be? Who else in K City has the capability to round them all up like that?" Qin Xue Lan replied.
Meng Qi immediately understood who she was referring to. "Brother Si Ye, he... isn't he abroad?"
"He has a private jet. It's not a matter of time to come back, is it?" Qin Xue Lan's voice was filled with jealousy and unwillingness.
"Oh." Meng Qi's heart, however, fluttered with a trace of panic, wondering if Jin Zhan Hao would expose her during the interrogation.
"Qi Qi, you need to be careful these few days. Absolutely do not take any more actions on your own, lest you give them a handle," Qin Xue Lan suddenly reminded her over the phone.
"Okay. I understand. Thank you, Aunt Lan." Meng Qi hung up the phone and took a deep breath.
This Yin Xi was indeed difficult to deal with. She had escaped her clutches several times, truly an unkillable cockroach. The main reason was that she had Qin Si Ye, this "amulet," protecting her. It seemed that if she wanted to bring that woman down, she would have to plan more carefully. Fortunately, she still had cards left to play. Perhaps separating them from within was the best strategy.
On the other side, as soon as Qin Xue Lan hung up the phone, the butler hurried over to report to her.
"Madam, this is bad. The master and young master have met with trouble abroad?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Xue Lan stood up from the sofa in a panic. "What happened?"
"Someone just called me and said that they... they have both been arrested by the police in Country B." the butler replied with a tense expression.
Qin Xue Lan involuntarily staggered a step to the right. "Arrested? Why?"
"I'm not sure about that." The butler's face was anxious.
"Quickly book me a plane ticket. I need to go and see for myself." Qin Xue Lan patted her chest and hurried upstairs to pack.
By the time Yin Xi returned to the hospital, it was already past four in the afternoon. As she passed Jin Jing Chen's ward, she glanced inside through the glass. She saw that Jin Jing Chen had woken up, and Tang Ran was serving him water. She had wanted to push the door open and check on him, but as she took a step, her foot hesitated. For one thing, she felt that carrying so many things in her hands was inconvenient. For another, she was afraid Qin Si Ye would be unhappy if he knew. However, she felt she ought to come and see him, both out of courtesy and reason. Perhaps she should go back, have a good talk with Qin Si Ye, and after getting his consent, come back later.
As she pushed open the door to VIP Room 1, Qin Si Ye was lying flat on the bed, resting. Yin Xi tiptoed in, trying her best not to make any noise. She walked to the cabinet and sorted the clothes she was holding.
"You're back." Suddenly, the man's low voice came from behind her.
Yin Xi's body jolted, and she turned around, smiling at him. "When did you wake up? You startled me!"
"I wasn't asleep at all." Qin Si Ye's gaze was gentle, and he wanted to sit up.
Yin Xi quickly walked over and helped him adjust the bed to an upright position.
"Did Grandma ask you anything?" Qin Si Ye asked again.
Yin Xi poured him a glass of water and handed it to him. "No. She just told me again. Han Hao Ming will be at the old house on Sunday, asking us to go over early."
