Inside the master bedroom of Xinglan Bay
When Yin Xi walked out after washing up, dressed in a pink nightgown, Qin Si Ye happened to push the door open and enter.
He paused slightly at the doorway, then walked quickly to her and held her in his arms, "Why didn't you call me just now?"
"I was afraid of disturbing your work. You've been busy at the hospital these past few days, I'm sure there's a lot of company business that's been delayed?" Yin Xi replied softly.
Qin Si Ye straightened up, cupped her shoulders, and said, "It's fine. With Zhao Ze there, everything was handled smoothly and nothing was delayed."
"That's good." Yin Xi looked at him with gentle eyes and changed the subject, "I think Shuo Shuo's suggestion earlier is quite good. Why are you hesitating?"
"I'm afraid it will arouse Grandma's suspicion," Qin Si Ye said, reaching out to stroke her loose hair. "During this period, my father has been in the hospital, and I haven't let her visit him. Once he's discharged, if he doesn't come home, she'll definitely become suspicious."
"What you're considering is not unreasonable. I was thinking that Uncle would feel better staying with us after being discharged, and it would be convenient for me to administer his herbal treatments. Since that's the case, I'll just make more trips."
Yin Xi blinked a few times, thinking to herself, she'd wait until her investigation results were out.
"Mm," Qin Si Ye lowered his head and kissed her on the forehead, saying softly, "Good girl, go wait for me on the bed, I'll be right there."
Watching his hurried departure, Yin Xi's heart tightened, and she couldn't help but touch her lower abdomen. Wait for him? Wait for him to do what? He wouldn't be thinking about... that, would he?
Yin Xi half-reclined on the bed, took out her phone, and replayed the news from that afternoon. The comment section had already reached several hundred replies. Each of the three apprehended culprits had endless topics of discussion.
As for Qian Feng, there was no need to even mention him; everyone was criticizing his character, his company's bankruptcy, and his divorce. When discussing Meng Qi, Qin Si Ye was inevitably brought up.
"Oh my gosh, how could Meng Qi be involved in a kidnapping? She's an international star!"
"Is there a mistake? I wouldn't believe she could do something like this even if you beat me. I remember when she just returned to the country and had a car accident, Qin Si Ye personally went to save her. Maybe he'll appear again this time."
"Impossible. I heard that Qin Si Ye personally dispatched people to catch all three of them this time."
"Ah? How could that be? Aren't Meng Qi and Qin Si Ye childhood sweethearts who grew up together? How could he personally get involved and send her to the police station?"
"Yes. Did Meng Qi and the others kidnap someone important to Qin Si Ye? Who could that person be?"
"Who knows. The report never mentioned the kidnapped person, it seems Qin Si Ye intentionally wants to protect that person."
When Lu Yu Shan was discussed, people surprisingly linked her to Qin Si Ye as well.
"Didn't that Lu Yu Shan break off her engagement with Qin Si Ye long ago? And the Lu family has already declined, with some dead, some fled, and some in prison. How did she suddenly appear?"
"Yes. I remember when she escaped from the mental hospital, she also set a fire and killed someone. How dare she come back?"
"I think her return this time must have a purpose, perhaps she specifically came to seek revenge on Qin Si Ye."
"Are you implying that Qin Si Ye is related to what happened to the Lu family?"
"What do you think? In City K, besides Qin Si Ye, who else would have such great power to do something like that overnight?"
"Although Qin Si Ye is decisive, I believe he has principles in his dealings. The Lu family must have provoked him first."
As Yin Xi was engrossed in reading, Qin Si Ye's voice came from the bedside, "What are you looking at?"
