"Qin He, you bitch, I wasn't even injured by you and I'm already arrested. How can you say I'll get life imprisonment?"
Qin He raised an eyebrow. "Seeing you get life imprisonment doesn't affect my life in any way, so why wouldn't I do that? Your remaining years suffering in prison, being bullied, or even freezing and starving, have nothing to do with me. When I think about it, I won't feel very good, because I'll probably forget about it very quickly."
Qin He was standing as she spoke.
She looked down from above, an intangible aura radiating from her, her gaze contemptuous and dismissive.
Fang Ruonan's body trembled slightly. If this were truly the case, then what was the point of her revenge today?
She hesitated. When she was first kicked out of the Fang family, she had wished she could have bitten Qin He to death.
But at that time, someone had contacted her, shown her the way, given her a weapon, and provided her with a fake identity, allowing her to successfully slip into Qingcheng.
However, after making ample preparations, her hatred had waned.
Yet, things had already progressed this far. Today, while she was hesitating in front of the Qin family's main gate, she had been caught and brought in.
Fang Ruonan bit her lower lip tightly. In front of Qin He, she truly didn't want to show weakness.
Qin He had little patience. She pointed to the grandfather clock beside them. "I'll give you three minutes to consider. If you haven't made up your mind by then, I'll call the police directly and have them take you away."
Time ticked by.
Qin He maintained an indifferent demeanor.
A maid brought her some fruit, and she gestured for Qian Zimo to sit down.
The two chatted idly about several collaborative projects between their families. Fang Ruonan, however, felt as if time was dragging, making it unbearable.
One minute passed quickly, then another. Only the last minute remained.
Qin He glanced at the grandfather clock, as if by chance. "Time's up, Uncle Wang. Take her directly to the police station."
If she was sent to the police station, she would never get out!
Fang Ruonan's entire body trembled, and she glared fiercely at Qin He.
"This weapon was given to me by someone else. Blame yourself for being so hateful. You must have offended many people, which is why someone led me to kill you."
This was finally getting to the point. Qin He's eyes narrowed slightly, not showing much interest, and she said lazily, "So, who sent you to kill me?"
Having already revealed half of the story, Fang Ruonan continued. "I don't know who those people are. After I was kicked out by my family, I found a bag on the street. Inside the bag was a mobile phone. When I answered it, the person directly called my name."
As Fang Ruonan mentioned this, a hint of fear flickered in her eyes. "That person seemed to know I would pick up that bag."
"And then?"
"The bag contained a complete set of identification, a mobile phone, and this knife, as well as some cash. That person said he also hated you, so he created a fake identity for me to come and kill you. He said if I could kill you, he could revive all of Fang Corporation's collaborations, and then my father would be happy, and I could go home."
Qin He frowned. "You believe that."
"Why wouldn't I believe him? Believing him is better than believing you. You've been targeting our family. Fang Corporation's real estate has lost billions! They were building a residential community in Haicheng that was already half-finished, but now the Ming family is obstructing it, and the entire thing has become a large area of unfinished buildings."
Fang Ruonan knew clearly that this was also the main reason her father had kicked her out. Reputation and being an embarrassment were secondary. The primary reason was the immense, tangible losses of Fang Corporation.
Qin He nodded. "So, where is the mobile phone that person contacted you on?"
Fang Ruonan pursed her lips. "I hid it under the flower bed near the entrance when I came, thinking I'd retrieve it later. Qin He, I've told you everything. You can't go back on your word."
Qin He glanced at her. "If what you say is true, I naturally won't go back on my word."
With that, she instructed the butler, Uncle Wang, who was standing nearby, "Uncle Wang, please take a few people to look over there and see if that mobile phone is indeed there. If it is, bring it back. Be careful on the way; I don't know if this is a trap they've set."
Uncle Wang was unfazed and nodded. "Miss, don't worry. I'll take people there now. Traps or no traps, I'll smash them with one punch."
Uncle Wang hurried off. Qin He asked Fang Ruonan some more questions about the identity of the person who had instigated her, but Fang Ruonan knew nothing.
Qin He looked at Qian Zimo speechlessly. His eyes also held disappointment.
They had both expected to get something out of Fang Ruonan, but it turned out she genuinely knew nothing. She was quite bold, running all the way to Qingcheng.
Not long after, Uncle Wang returned.
His hands were empty, and he looked furious. "Miss, she must be lying to us. There was nothing by the flower bed."
"How is that possible? I clearly put it under the tree by the flower bed. You definitely didn't find it!" Fang Ruonan exclaimed.
Panic filled her heart. If the mobile phone couldn't be found, Qin He would definitely send her to prison.
Qin He's gaze drifted to Qian Zimo. They both knew Fang Ruonan didn't have the guts to lie.
This meant that during the short interrogation, someone had gone and retrieved the mobile phone.
Qin He stood up with Qian Zimo.
"Follow me."
The two ascended the stairs. Fang Ruonan remained on the spot, her cries carrying up.
"What exactly do you want?"
Qin He looked down from the spiral staircase. "Uncle Wang, pack her up and send her back to the Fang family. Tell them that if there's a next time, don't blame me for being impolite."
Uncle Wang immediately responded.
Fang Ruonan didn't struggle this time, allowing two maids to pull her up.
She couldn't go back to the Fang family anyway, but by having Qin He send her back, her father would have no choice but to take her in!
Fang Ruonan gritted her teeth. Her life had been too miserable lately. Even if she had to face her family's punishment, she would stay home!
Qin He and Qian Zimo reached the second floor and entered the study directly.
Qin He opened her laptop and immediately activated the Qin family's security system. The system's cameras and secure network were spread out like starlight over the two streets near the Qin residence.
Soon, she found the flower bed Fang Ruonan had mentioned.
From the video, it showed that two hours ago, Fang Ruonan had appeared on a street near the Qin residence. She hesitated as she approached the main gate of the Qin family, acting like a thief.
Afterward, Fang Ruonan received a phone call and eventually walked to the side, placing the mobile phone in the flower bed. The plants in the flower bed were lush, making it difficult to see if it was placed there.
Qin He narrowed her eyes. After placing the phone, Fang Ruonan walked towards the Qin family's main gate in the video, seemingly looking for an opportunity to sneak in.
Soon, a group of people rushed out from the Qin family's main gate. Uncle Wang, using his martial arts skills from years ago, easily subdued Fang Ruonan.
Qin He frowned as she watched. This attempt at infiltration could serve as a classic failure case to be taught at Qingyan Prefecture.
However, she didn't pay much attention to Fang Ruonan. She quickly rewound the video.
Soon, a figure appeared from the street, walked through the crowd to the flower bed, picked up the mobile phone, and walked away directly!
