It was clear now.
The police's insight was indeed extraordinary, and Qin Siye couldn't help but feel a pang of inferiority.
There was another reason, too: he found Bai Lin so repulsive that he didn't want to look at her any longer.
Everyone returned to the living room. After waiting for a while, Zhao Ze's call came through.
Qin Siye frowned as he heard, "What? Not at their residence? They've already left?"
"Search the entire city. Even if you have to dig three feet deep, you must find those two.
Also, send people to the airports and train stations."
As Qin Siye hung up the phone, Qin Xiuzhi sat up straight and asked, "What's wrong? Qiqi isn't here?"
"Zhao Ze said that by the time he and his men arrived, the place was empty, and even the household staff had been dismissed," Qin Siye replied.
Qin Si Yue said coldly, "I think she's guilty and scared. This further confirms that the drugging was instigated by her."
"Impossible. Qiqi wouldn't do this to me. Perhaps she had to go out for something important for a special reason," Qin Xiuzhi still found it hard to believe.
His hands trembling, he took out his phone and dialed Meng Qi's number. The response was that the phone was turned off.
Qin Xiuzhi's face was filled with sorrow, and he felt a great blow. He realized that all the care and affection he had shown Meng Qi during this time felt like inviting a wolf into his home.
"Xiuzhi, don't be too sad, and don't overthink it. Perhaps Qiqi really has something special to handle.
Once we find her, everything will be clear," Jiang Jie said, gently stroking his back to comfort him.
Xu Zhilan, however, chimed in, "I think Meng Qi and her assistant might not have had good intentions from the start. We were just too kind.
What is their purpose in doing all this? I think it's no different from what happened in the Jin family; they wanted to frame Xi Xi.
Those two women are so malicious and sinister. Thinking back now, it's chilling how they almost caused a terrible mistake.
This is also my fault; I shouldn't have agreed to let Meng Qi stay in K City a while back."
It was her kindness, her pity for Meng Qi's background.
She thought Meng Qi had a crush on her grandson and would only create some obstacles between Si Ye and Yin Xi.
It was also a test of their relationship, but she never expected her to be so cruel.
At this moment, Han Haoming came over to bid farewell. "Grandmother, Uncle, I want to return to the bureau to file this case and mobilize the police force to search for those two women with Big Brother."
"Good, Xiao Han. Si Yue, you accompany him," Xu Zhilan immediately agreed, finding his words very reasonable.
Han Haoming politely said goodbye to everyone. Qin Xiuzhi kept his head down, lost in thought, and didn't react much.
Not long after they left, Qin Si Ye's family of five also prepared to depart.
Mei Yun, however, pulled Yin Xi into the courtyard and asked in a low voice, "Xi Xi, what's going on between you and Si Ye? Why do I feel like your states are not right today?"
The two had hardly communicated, and they both seemed to have rather unpleasant expressions.
"It's nothing. We're acting," Yin Xi whispered back into her ear.
Mei Yun stared at her in astonishment, "You mischievous girl, it's a shame you're not an actress."
"There's no other way. The monsters have become spirits. If I don't do this, how can I force them to reveal their true forms?" Yin Xi smiled helplessly.
Mei Yun suddenly understood, "I get it. So, you already suspected them of the Jin family incident."
"Yes. But that Bai Lin is too cunning, and they still managed to escape in advance," Yin Xi said, feeling happy but also regretful.
Why hadn't she thought of that trash can at the time?
Mei Yun patted her hand and said, "It's okay. Don't you have Si Ye and Hao Ming working together? They'll definitely be able to catch those two."
At this moment, Qin Si Ye came out of the hall with the three children. After bidding each other farewell, Yin Xi followed Qin Si Ye out of the old Qin family's courtyard.
All the way, Qin Si Ye's face was grim, and he didn't say a word.
