"Oh. There was also a woman standing beside her, looking very similar. Although she didn't say a word, she had a smiling face throughout. Thinking back now, they must have been accomplices," Xie Yifei gritted her teeth and replied.
"A woman who looked very similar, who could that be?" Shen Xi frowned slightly.
At this moment, Jian Fan suddenly spoke, "I know who that woman is. She should be Xia Jingyi's sister, Xia Jingnan. I specifically looked up their information on my phone last night. Xia Jingnan is three years older than Xia Jingyi, and she is already married, now being the young madam of the Lu Corporation."
"The Lu Corporation? Which Lu Corporation?" Shen Xi's heart leaped, and she couldn't help but turn to look at him.
Jian Fan said, "It's Lu Yushan's family."
"Ah?" Shen Xi and Xie Yifei exclaimed in unison.
Their families truly lived up to the old saying: people are drawn to their own kind. Not only was the daughter vicious, but the daughter-in-law they married into the family was also a wicked character.
At this moment, Xie Yifei abruptly threw off the covers and got out of bed.
"Yifei, what are you doing?" Shen Xi was startled and immediately stood up from her chair.
"I... I'm going to find them right now." A chilling glint flashed in Xie Yifei's eyes.
Shen Xi quickly grabbed her and advised, "Yifei, calm down. If you go find them now, you have no evidence, and they will never admit it."
"Yes, Yifei. Sister Xi is right, you must be patient with this matter. Once we get the evidence, you won't have to lift a finger; I'll be the first one to make them pay," Jian Fan also stepped forward, speaking fiercely.
Xie Yifei's emotions gradually calmed down. She looked up at them, "Then what should we do now?"
"That man from yesterday is still being held by Qin Si Ye, so we can start with him." Shen Xi's gaze flickered a few times, and she turned to Jian Fan, "You go handle the hospital discharge procedures for Yifei. After I help her change, we'll go out."
The three of them walked out of the hospital. Shen Xi immediately took out her phone and called Qin Si Ye. After inquiring about Dai Lei's exact location, she drove towards it.
The destination was an ancient courtyard located on the back mountain of City K.
As soon as the three of them got out of the car, a bodyguard in black standing at the gate quickly walked up to them and respectfully asked, "May I ask who Miss Shen is?"
"I am," Shen Xi stepped forward and replied in a low voice.
"Please follow me. Mr. Qin is waiting for you inside." After the bodyguard finished speaking, he turned and led them inside.
Hearing this, Shen Xi couldn't help but be surprised. What? Qin Si Ye was here too? It was Monday today; didn't he have to go to work? Or was he deliberately waiting for them here?
The three followed the bodyguard further in, passing a pond and crossing a second threshold into another courtyard. The bodyguard stopped and said, "Please wait a moment, the three of you." With that, he walked towards a room on the right, knocked twice, and said in a low voice, "Mr. Qin, Miss Shen and the others have arrived."
As soon as he finished speaking, Qin Si Ye opened the door from inside, his tall and slender figure appearing before the three of them. Stepping towards them, Jian Fan and Xie Yifei quickly greeted him.
In the morning, Xie Yifei had heard from Jian Fan that it was Qin Si Ye who had kicked down the door and kicked that man last night. She couldn't help but develop a more favorable impression of him, and her inclination towards him grew stronger in the matter of Song Kaicheng and Qin Si Ye pursuing Shen Xi.
Qin Si Ye looked deeply at Shen Xi and said, "Let's go. That man is locked up in the room at the back."
The group walked further back, crossing a third threshold and stopping in front of a dilapidated door. Qin Si Ye said to the bodyguard standing at the door, "Open the door."
"Yes." Upon hearing this, the bodyguard quickly opened the door.
The few of them stepped inside. The room was dimly lit, with only a hard board bed placed against the north wall. A man in tattered clothes was huddled in the southern corner of the room, his body trembling.
As soon as Jian Fan saw the man, without a word, he walked straight towards him and kicked him hard. Dai Lei immediately fell to the ground, letting out pained groans, "Ouch, ouch."
Shen Xi noticed that his condition was not right and quickly walked over to pull Jian Fan back, "Alright, don't kick him anymore. If you kick him again, he might die."
