Jiang Xiong Ba and the man who reported the news walked out of the house.
"Dad..."
Jiang Shi Chao lay on the stretcher. Upon seeing Jiang Xiong Ba, he immediately started crying, "Dad, you must seek justice for me!"
Jiang Xiong Ba walked closer and saw that Jiang Shi Chao's legs were broken. Not only that, but all his front teeth were gone, his mouth was a bloody mess, and he could barely speak clearly. The anger in his heart instantly ignited.
With murderous intent all over his face, he asked, "Who did this?"
"Qin Yi, it was Qin Yi..." Jiang Shi Chao said furiously.
"Who is Qin Yi?"
The person who had run into the house earlier to report to Jiang Xiong Ba explained, "He's just an ordinary person from Hai Cheng, recently released from prison! But he's been close with Han San Wan and Xiong Zhen Tian lately!"
"The reason Young Master clashed with him was because of Han San Wan's daughter, Han Xin..."
The person recounted the basic information about Qin Yi and the conflict between him and Jiang Shi Chao in Hai Cheng, word for word.
He was the housekeeper of the Jiang family, responsible for many of their affairs.
When Jiang Shi Chao was beaten and sent back from Hai Cheng, he had already sent people to investigate all the circumstances of Jiang Shi Chao and Qin Yi's encounter in Hai Cheng that day.
After listening, Jiang Xiong Ba looked at Ben Lei, who was standing behind him. "Ben Lei, were your hands also broken by that Qin Yi?"
"Yes!" Ben Lei knelt directly on the ground. "Master, it is my incompetence that I failed to protect Young Master!"
"Useless trash!"
Jiang Xiong Ba cursed.
Then, he waved his hand, signaling for someone to take Jiang Shi Chao away for treatment.
Just as Jiang Xiong Ba was about to order someone to go to Hai Cheng to seek revenge on Qin Yi, his phone rang first.
He pulled it out and saw that it was Han San Wan calling.
Han San Wan was the richest man in Hai Cheng, and Jiang Xiong Ba was the head of the Jiang family. They had met more than once before, and the two families had some business cooperation.
Both of them had each other's contact information.
Jiang Xiong Ba answered, "Hello?"
"Patriarch Jiang, it's me! I'm calling you so late mainly to explain what happened with Shi Chao on our side today..."
Han San Wan said very politely.
However, before he could finish, Jiang Xiong Ba interrupted, "Han San Wan, are you here to beg for mercy for that Qin Yi?"
Han San Wan was stunned, realizing that the other party already knew about Qin Yi.
Jiang Xiong Ba continued, "Han San Wan, don't say I didn't give you any face. I'll give you twenty-four hours. You make that Qin Yi cripple his own legs, and you personally bring him to the Jiang family to kowtow and apologize to Shi Chao!"
"And your daughter Han Xin, bring her along too, and let her properly accompany Shi Chao for a while!"
"If you accomplish these two things, I can consider letting this matter go and not pursuing it further!"
Han San Wan said in disbelief, "Patriarch Jiang, are you joking?"
"What do you think?" Jiang Xiong Ba said, "Remember, you only have twenty-four hours!"
After saying this, he didn't give Han San Wan a chance to speak again and directly hung up the phone.
Seeing this, the housekeeper asked, "Master, what do we do now..."
"Wait twenty-four hours. After twenty-four hours, if Han San Wan doesn't bring the person here..."
Jiang Xiong Ba looked up at the dark night sky and narrowed his eyes slightly. "Then we'll go there ourselves!"
Han Family.
After Han San Wan finished his call with Jiang Xiong Ba, Han Xin, who had been waiting nearby, immediately asked, "Dad, how was it? What did Jiang Shi Chao's father say?"
Han San Wan didn't answer immediately, only looking at Han Xin with a very grim expression.
Seeing this, Han Xin guessed something and her face immediately turned grim as well.
After a few seconds, Han San Wan said, "Xiao Xin, why don't you and Qin Yi leave Hai Cheng for a while and go lie low?"
Han Xin: "..."
...
Qin Yi returned home, completely unaffected by the day's events.
Because he returned quite late, Zheng Shu Fen and Qin Lei had already gone to sleep. So, he didn't disturb them and went back to his room.
He didn't sleep but sat cross-legged on the bed, meditating.
He had been meditating for an unknown amount of time when he was awakened by a doorbell.
He opened his eyes and saw that it was still pitch black outside; it was nighttime. He checked the time and it was past three in the morning.
Qin Yi was speechless. Who would come to their house at this late hour?
He walked out of his room to open the door.
As the door opened and he saw the person standing outside, he was even more taken aback.
"Xin Xin, why are you here so late???"
Han Xin was standing outside the door.
Qin Yi ignored Han Xin's reaction and said urgently, "Qin Yi, let's go! Let's leave Hai Cheng!"
Uh...
Qin Yi was even more bewildered. "We're leaving Hai Cheng? Why?"
"Who is it?"
This time, before Han Xin could speak, Zheng Shu Fen's voice came from inside.
Clearly, Han Xin's doorbell ringing had woken Zheng Shu Fen as well!
Immediately, Qin Yi darted out the door, closed it again, and pulled Han Xin a little further away, asking, "Xin Xin, what's going on?"
This person, not sleeping soundly at home in the middle of the night, running over to ask him to leave Hai Cheng with her...
Qin Yi's mind was racing!
Han Xin then briefly explained to Qin Yi about Han San Wan's call to Jiang Xiong Ba and the conditions Jiang Xiong Ba had imposed.
She had rushed over overnight, wanting to take Qin Yi to leave Hai Cheng and go into hiding.
Originally, Han Xin hadn't intended to ring the doorbell in the middle of the night. She had first called Qin Yi, but because he was meditating and it was late, he had set his phone to silent and thus hadn't heard it or answered.
With no other choice, Han Xin had to ring the doorbell in the dead of night!
Qin Yi, upon learning what happened, felt a bit amused.
"Xin Xin, didn't I tell you all last night that you don't need to fear the Jiang family? If they dare to come, I really have a way to deal with them!"
"But..."
Qin Yi grabbed Han Xin's arms with both hands and looked her in the eye, saying, "Don't you believe me?"
Han Xin stared directly at him, her expression complex, unsure of what to say.
Qin Yi knew that the Jiang family was a major clan in the Southern Province, a colossus. He came from an ordinary background. Although Han Xin and Han San Wan knew he had extraordinary medical skills, those skills were useless against the Jiang family.
Therefore, no matter what he said, Han Xin wouldn't fully believe him and would still worry!
So, Qin Yi didn't say anything more. After thinking for a moment, he said, "This way, Xin Xin, I promise to go with you to lay low. But my mother and sister are still here, I need to make arrangements for them first!"
"Give me a little more time, and we'll leave this afternoon!"
"Didn't Jiang Xiong Ba give us a day anyway? We can leave this afternoon, and there's plenty of time!"
