From Qin Si Ye's words, Su Yi Xin understood that the person who had "detained" her here today was none other than her cousin.
But why would he "detain" her?
Could it be…
"Cousin, have I done something wrong? Why are you treating me like this?" Su Yi Xin asked softly, her face flushed from earlier excitement.
Qin Si Ye didn't answer immediately. Instead, he walked over, sat on a chair in front of the desk, and leisurely crossed his legs.
"I thought you were smart enough to guess why I had people bring you here the moment you saw me."
"I…" Su Yi Xin blinked her bright eyes innocently. "Cousin, at Uncle's birthday banquet that day, I was just curious. I really didn't mean to expose your relationship with Doctor Shen. I just returned to the country and didn't know anything. It was completely unintentional."
"Do you think I called you here today to discuss this matter?" Qin Si Ye's gaze was cold and dark as he watched her. "Fine. That matter is also one of them. Do you think the words 'curiosity' and 'unintentional' are enough to explain it away? I think you, your mother, and that woman surnamed Jiang are cooperating quite well."
"Cousin, it's not what you think. I really didn't…" Hearing this, Su Yi Xin's heart trembled. She wanted to explain, but was interrupted by Qin Si Ye's cold and ruthless words.
"No need to argue further. I am fully aware of everyone's role in that incident. Think about it, what else have you done wrong recently?"
Su Yi Xin trembled slightly. It seemed that with her current level of skill, she was still too immature in front of Qin Si Ye. However, she still refused to admit it verbally. "Cousin, besides that incident, I really don't know what else I've done to offend you?"
"Is that so? It seems your memory isn't very good either. I wonder how you studied abroad all these years." Qin Si Ye let out a sneer, glanced at her, and then said to Zhao Ze beside him, "Assistant Zhao, please remind her and see if she can remember."
"Yes." Zhao Ze bowed respectfully to him and turned to look at Su Yi Xin. "Miss Su, regarding Doctor Shen bringing her child to the Rubik's Cube competition, and how the matter later fermented online, I believe you are quite clear about the content, aren't you?"
"I…" Su Yi Xin shivered, her gaze darting around quickly. "I also saw the content online. I admit, I met Doctor Shen and young Shen Zi Shuo at the Rubik's Cube competition. But you can't conclude that the incident is related to me just based on that. There were many people at the scene that day."
Qin Si Ye sought her out, and it was indeed about this matter. She had spent a night deliberating with her mother and then passed the news through several people before releasing it. They couldn't have investigated her so quickly, could they? Perhaps they were bluffing. Before there was concrete evidence, she absolutely could not admit it.
"Zhao Ze, get straight to the point with her." At this moment, Qin Si Ye was somewhat agitated. He stood up and walked to the window, his back to them.
When Zhao Ze revealed the information about the media company and the people she had transacted with, Su Yi Xin's legs went weak, and she stumbled back a step, almost falling to the ground.
"Cousin, I… I…"
Qin Si Ye slowly turned around, exuding a chilling aura that seemed to freeze the air in the entire room.
"You're not arguing anymore? Su Yi Xin, I'm telling you, this is K City. Do you think you can escape my notice if you try to cause trouble here? Of course, I know that these two matters are not something you could have done alone. I know very well who is backing you behind the scenes. I called you here today to warn you not to be an accomplice anymore. Behave yourself, or your end will be very grim. Zhao Ze, tell her what you found out in the United States."
"Yes." Zhao Ze took out a few photos from the file bag he was carrying and placed them on the table in front of Su Yi Xin.
"Miss Su, you must be very familiar with the man in these photos, right? Last year, in the United States, you secretly met him multiple times. Later, you became pregnant and secretly aborted the child…"
"You… how did you find out about this?" Su Yi Xin glanced at the photos on the table, her delicate face flushing and paling.
Zhao Ze chuckled lightly, "That's confidential. We have our ways."
"Su Yi Xin, I have a lot more information about what you've been doing in the United States these past few years. If you don't want it to be exposed, I think you know what you need to do next."
