With a shared glance of surprise, Han Haoming and Qin Si Yue exchanged looks.
"Sister Xi, you suspect Jiang Jie?" Qin Si Yue inquired.
"Haoming went to the Qin family for the first time today, and they acted so quickly. Don't you find that too coincidental?" Yin Xi analyzed over the phone. "Moreover, from my observations today, Jiang Jie's expression changed significantly, especially when she heard the names 'Han Haoming' and 'Han Shan.' Her eyes clearly flickered with a few shades of astonishment."
Qin Si Yue blinked rapidly, recalling the scene. "That's right. Now that you mention it, I'm starting to suspect her too. Her behavior today was also more restrained; she hardly said anything from start to finish."
"Actually, there's another reason I suspect her," Yin Xi paused. "A few days ago, Si Ye told me that Jiang Jie used to be your father's secretary at Zhuo Sheng."
"Yes, that's right. I was very young then. Later, I heard from my brother that it was that woman who climbed into his bed when my father was drunk, which led to Qin Si Yu's birth," Qin Si Yue said through gritted teeth, glancing at Han Haoming.
"That further confirms that Jiang Jie should be one of the people who knew about what happened back then," Yin Xi paused before continuing, "Haoming, your father's death back then might be related to this Jiang Jie. I will discuss this with Si Ye later and start the investigation from her."
"Okay," Han Haoming replied thoughtfully. It seemed the truth of the past was about to surface. It was only at this moment that Han Haoming understood why Qin Si Yue hadn't introduced that woman to him that morning. They, brother and sister, clearly disliked her.
After hanging up the phone, Han Haoming looked up at Qin Si Yue and asked, "You have another brother?"
"Mm," Qin Si Yue replied nonchalantly, picking up her chopsticks and placing a piece of fish into her mouth.
Han Haoming stared at her intently. "Then why didn't I see him when I went to the Qin family today?"
"He's studying abroad and left a few days ago," Qin Si Yue replied, gesturing to the dishes in front of them. "Eat up, the food is getting cold."
At Xing Lan Bay, Yin Xi was sitting on the sofa in the guest bedroom on the third floor. Just as she hung up the phone, Qin Si Ye walked in.
"What has you thinking so intently?" Qin Si Ye stopped, looked at her for a few seconds, and asked.
Upon seeing him, Yin Xi quickly stood up and pulled him over to sit down, recounting in detail what they had discussed on the phone.
"What did you say? Jiang Jie? You suspect Han Shan's suicide is related to her?" Qin Si Ye looked at her with shock.
Yin Xi frowned and replied, "Based on the current situation, her suspicion is the greatest. Otherwise, who would have made that call? It definitely couldn't have been Meng Qi or Bai Lin."
"Your analysis might be correct. As the CEO's secretary, she indeed has the ability to order subordinates to fire a security guard," Qin Si Ye said, his eyes deep. "But why would she do that? Was a security guard any threat to her?"
Yin Xi's beautiful eyes darted rapidly. "Perhaps Han Shan saw some unspeakable secret of hers, and that's why she..." Yin Xi didn't finish the sentence. Qin Si Ye instantly understood what she meant and held her hand, saying, "I will arrange for Zhao Ze to investigate this matter thoroughly. We must uncover the truth of that year and give Han Haoming an explanation."
"Mm. It's getting late, let's go wash up and sleep," Yin Xi gently pushed his hand away and stood up, heading towards the bathroom.
The next second, the man behind her unexpectedly scooped her up by the waist.
Yin Xi exclaimed in alarm, "Si Ye, what are you doing?"
"Taking a bath! Didn't you just say it's getting late, and we should wash up and sleep? We can wash together, which will save time." Qin Si Ye looked at her ardently, a charming smile playing on his lips, and walked towards the bathroom...
