Qin Si Ye, seeing this, felt a pang of panic. He quickly walked over, took her hand, and said, "Xi Xi, I know you don't want me to fight. I wasn't trying to beat him up, I was just too angry to stand it."
Shen Xi forcefully pulled her hand away, still turning her face to the side, unwilling to speak to him.
Qin Si Ye felt a chill in his heart and instinctively took a step back.
For a moment, the room fell silent, and neither of them spoke another word.
Five minutes later, Qin Si Ye looked down at his watch and said, "It's too late, you should go back. I'll be fine here alone."
Shen Xi turned to look at him and only then noticed that although his eyes had largely recovered, there was still a hint of bruising.
He was at a crucial stage of recovery and absolutely could not stay up late.
"You go back, I'll stay here. It's not convenient for you, a grown man, to be here alone."
Qin Si Ye, however, said, "What's inconvenient? I'm her brother."
With that, he walked over, gently pulled her up, and guided her towards the door.
"But... but your eyes can't handle staying up late," Shen Xi finally voiced her biggest concern.
The next moment, Qin Si Ye pulled her into his arms and whispered in her ear, "I know you're worried about me. Don't worry, there's another bed over there. I'll rest on it later."
Only then did Shen Xi agree to leave.
Qin Si Ye walked her to the end of the corridor. As they parted, he held her hand and said, "When you get home, remember to call me."
"Okay," Shen Xi replied, and turned to walk towards the main entrance.
As soon as Qin Si Ye turned back into the ward, he received a call from Zhao Ze.
"President, I have the results of the investigation into Lu Corporation that you asked for. Lu Huai'an and his son, Lu Qihang, have been involved in many illegal activities over the years."
"Oh? Is the evidence conclusive?" Qin Si Ye's voice was low.
"Yes. Absolutely conclusive." Zhao Ze paused for a moment and asked, "Should we hand it directly over to the public security bureau?"
Qin Si Ye pondered for a moment and replied, "No. You secretly deliver that evidence to Shen Xi's assistant, Jian Fan. I'll send you his phone number shortly.
Remember to tell him that Shen Xi must not know about this matter."
"Okay. I understand." Zhao Ze continued, "One more thing, we've received news from Xicheng that Chen Fa's car accident was not an accident but was intentionally caused."
Upon hearing this, Qin Si Ye's heart skipped a beat. "Intentional? Did someone want to kill him that day?"
"It's hard to say. Chen Fa has a questionable character and has offended quite a few people," Zhao Ze replied thoughtfully.
Qin Si Ye's eyes flickered rapidly. "Tomorrow, I'll go and see for myself."
The next day, as soon as Shen Xi woke up, she called Qin Si Ye. Learning that Qin Si Yue had woken up and was on her way home, she finally felt relieved.
After breakfast, she called the children and was about to go to Villa No. 1 to see her when Jian Fan knocked and entered.
The two went into the study, and Jian Fan handed her the investigation materials he was holding.
"Sister Xi, these are our investigation results. Lu Huai'an has indeed been dirty all these years, engaging in many illegal activities in business."
"Oh? The investigation is out so quickly? It seems your people are indeed very capable." Shen Xi's eyebrows rose as she took the documents and sat down to read them carefully.
Jian Fan, however, rubbed his head and chuckled guiltily twice.
"Yes, this evidence is excellent. Please also prepare the evidence we have regarding his involvement with Hongrui Group.
Next week, we will submit it to the relevant departments, which will be enough to ruin his reputation and land him in prison for over a decade." Shen Xi smiled easily and happily after finishing the report.
Just then, her phone suddenly rang.
She picked it up and looked at it before answering immediately.
"Hello? Brother Kai Cheng."
"Okay. What is it, go ahead."
"What? Okay, tell him, I'll fly back today and can treat him very soon."
Shen Xi hung up the phone and looked up at Jian Fan. "Can you help me book a flight to Country B? The sooner the better."
"What's wrong? Is there an urgent matter over there?" Jian Fan asked with a worried expression.
"I previously treated the mayor of City H in Country B, and he's had a relapse in the last few days. Brother Kai Cheng said the mayor's wife is very anxious and wants me to return immediately," Shen Xi said, standing up.
"Oh, okay. I'll book your flight as soon as possible," Jian Fan said, opening his phone to check.
However, his heart was pounding. How could things be such a coincidence? Just this morning, Mr. Song had learned from him that the investigation into Lu Huai'an had yielded results and he would soon be brought to justice.
Was it a coincidence that Sister Xi was being called back to Country B so soon, or was it deliberate?
