In the afternoon, Shen Xi stayed in bed to catch up on sleep.
She had gone to bed late yesterday, woken up early today, and had a terrible nightmare during the night, her head feeling like it would explode.
Two hours later, an urgent phone call woke her up.
“Hello? Yifei, why are you calling me so suddenly? Is something wrong?” Shen Xi, still groggy, saw it was Xie Yifei and immediately swiped to answer.
Xie Yifei, hearing she was asleep, spoke in a low voice, “I’m sorry to disturb your rest. Jian Fan mentioned you’re back, and I just couldn’t control my curiosity, so I decided to call and ask about the situation.” *Kan Shu La*
Jian Fan? Since when had she become so close to Jian Fan?
“Oh, it’s nothing. I just woke up anyway.” Shen Xi scratched her hair as she walked towards the washroom. *Kan Dan*
“That’s good. I heard you met Chen Fa, tell me quickly about your investigation in Xicheng this time.” Xie Yifei asked impatiently.
It wasn’t that she hadn’t asked Jian Fan, but Jian Fan had said he was standing outside the door and hadn’t heard anything.
Shen Xi told her about the mastermind behind the drugging incident that year, but she said nothing about the man involved that night.
It wasn’t that she didn’t trust Xie Yifei, but she worried about her loose tongue. If she ever let anything slip, it would be trouble.
“It really was the two of them? Xi Xi, I suspected them all along, and it turns out I was right.”
Xie Yifei’s voice rose a few decibels, her anger ignited.
“This Lu Yushan is truly a piece of work. She faked recommending you to Liu Ying back then, to intern at K Feng Magazine, but unexpectedly, she stole your boyfriend behind your back and then conspired with Liu Ying to harm you.
How could she be so wicked? What did you ever do to offend her? For her to target you like this.”
Shen Xi sighed helplessly, “How would I know?”
“So what are you planning to do now? The online incident last time caused quite a stir, and the two of them were dealt with severely by Qin Si Ye. One was forced to go abroad, and the other’s popular v-account was shut down,” Xie Yifei asked.
Shen Xi pondered, a cold glint appearing in her eyes, “Their punishment from Qin Si Ye was self-inflicted, it’s between them. I want to avenge my hatred with them myself.”
Besides, Lu Yushan had only gone abroad to avoid the spotlight, and she would surely return soon.
And her father’s actions regarding Hong Rui Group back then, she couldn’t possibly be unrelated.
She would personally seek retribution for these grievances.
“That makes sense. Let’s put Lu Yushan aside for now. I’ll help you keep an eye on Liu Ying, see where she’s resurfacing, and then we’ll bring her down and destroy her completely,” Xie Yifei said through gritted teeth.
For the next two days, everything was calm. Shen Xi went to and from work on time, and picked up and dropped off the children on schedule.
Jian Fan’s investigation had also not yielded any substantial progress for the time being.
Many people on the list Shen Xi gave him were not local and couldn’t be contacted.
The most important figure, Zheng Jinghe, had been on vacation abroad during this period and hadn’t returned.
On Wednesday afternoon, a severely injured male patient was brought into the CT scan room at Ankang Hospital. He was covered in blood and unconscious. *Wap.kanshuwu.net*
Qin Si Yue happened to be on duty.
She, along with the patient’s family and another doctor, managed to move the patient onto the CT scan bed. Just as she was about to close the door, a slightly overweight middle-aged woman suddenly rushed in and lunged towards the patient.
“You damned beast, give me back my daughter, give me back my daughter!”
Her heart tightened, and Qin Si Yue instinctively reached out to protect the patient lying on the bed.
The woman was strong and full of conviction. She stopped and pointed at Qin Si Yue, shouting, “Get out of the way. Don’t you know this man killed my daughter? If you obstruct me, you are abetting evil!”
Qin Si Yue did not flinch at all. Her eyes widened, and she said stubbornly, “I don’t care what he did. To me, he is my patient.
I will never allow him to be harmed under my watch. Please leave!”
